Union soldiers pointed their CHASTITY fingers,
not Southwark, but towards the Tribune Office.
The game Of the conspirators had TO be played
again.
It is playing still. See how asgerly every
.pretext is adopted to force the administration
into an abolition war. Fremont is sustained
against the administration, and the President
is defied to remove him, on the ground that it
would kill our cause in the West; as If Free
mont or any other one man, were the Union,
and was not to stand or fall by his own acts, IT.
respective Of his personal popularity. The
Tribune boldly calls upon all Union officers to
~disobey General Mansfeld's order in regard TO
fugitive slaves. Every Union general, from
Mcclellan downward, is assailed. The organs
aof this cMspiracy-the Times, for instance
publish the details Of our naval expe-
ditions in season for the rebels to guard
their ports against our arms. The Eng
Ash government is supported against
our own. Defeats of the Union forces are pre-
.dicted. Contractors are warned against sup
plying our brave army with necessaries
The policy Of, the administration is attack
led, and that Of emancipation urged. The
West is declared to be ripe for re-
volution against the administration. A Sc
scret convention is held here at the Aston
House to take measures to discourage recruit
Ing. The President is told that he will be
Kissed in the streets Of Cincinnati, because Of
his disavowal Of Fremont's proclamation. We
defy any man to give hypothesis which will
account for this course Of the abolition organs,
other than that of conspiracy to neutralize our
efforts against rebellion, to enbroil us in for
'cign war, to create revolution at the North, to
do every possible mischief, until the admins
tration, hampered and clogged by its former
supporters, consents to strike down slavery to
save the country. We ask any man whether
these attacks upon the administration would not
cease; whether abolitonists would not, at last,
join our army; whether the Tribune, Times and
World would not, at last, support the Presidents
If, tomorrow, he unfnrled the black flag ofeman-
'cipation from the capital?
The people demand that this abolition conspi-
.racy shall be crushed out, as that Of The rebels
ought to have been, while it is in the bud. That
the government shall suppress these abolition
as it suppressed the secession organs. That
Northern traitors shall share the imprisonment
of Southern rebels That abolitionists in petit
coats shall be confined in lunatic asylums, or as
closely as the rebel "ladies" Of Washington
The government can look with no greater favor
upon Northern than upon Southern traitors, and
they should be treated alike. The administra-
ton Is sworn to support the Union, and it can
now strike off both heads Of - monster of re-
bellion at one blow. Let that blow fall.
MIscALcULATIoNs NORTH AND SouTH-Long
before the Presidential election, and up to the
actual outbreak of the war, we pointed out,
week after week, the dangers that were looming
In the distance. We clearly foresaw all that
has since come to pass, and we warned the
people Of the United States to avert the threat
ened disasters by speedy compromise. But
our warnings were uttered in vain, and those
who advocated timely concessions were stigma
tiled by the abolitionist leaders as incendiaries
When we told our readers plainly and earnestly
that If something was not done to con-
ciliate the South there would be q revo-
luton, few at the North believed it,
and people laughed at the mere idea.
They thought it freak Of madness to talk of
the South rising in arms against the North and
they treated the matter as little better than q
joke till the bombardment of Fort Sumter
turned it into stern reality. The day for
had then gone by. The whole
North, with an enthusiasm such as was never
before Witnessed in America, rose to vindicate
the honor Of an outraged flag, and with one i'm
pulse organized an army, not only for the protec-
ton of the national capital, but the punishment
of the rebels and the extinction of the rebellion
But it has proved harder task to do 30 than they
had calculated. They now find themselves in
the midst Of a great war, which, if our prophetic
warning had been listened to, would never
have occurred.
In the same manner the South also miscalcu-
lated The leaders there thought they had only
to take possession Of Washington and establish
q military government in order to intimidate
the entire North. But they soon found out their
mistake, and, foiled in their schemes, madly re-
solved on the desperate struggle in which they
are now engaged. 1t was the resistance offered
to the South by the North that goaded it to
pitch of fury that has not abated with the lapse
of time. Meanwhile battles have been fought,
and won, and lost, and still there has been no
decisive result But the North has not yet put
forward its full strength to crush out this re-
bellion. It has only to do SO, and the event is
certain. II is gradually becoming more and
more aroused, more and more determined, and
two months hence the North, from Maine to
Missouri, will be more excited and united as
one man than now. There will be a great rising
Of the people to put down, with overwhelming
force, this gigantic conspiracy against the
Union, and with it the abolition incendiaries
who have been the cause of it all, who pro-
claimed against compromise, who were deaf to
reason, and who still remain the worst enemies
of their country.
