A new Chapter in American History.


The Washington correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Inquirer, under date of 22d
instant, informs us that the Administra-
ton has determined to suppress all "those
"papers in the North which do not yield
"a hearty support to the Government,
"and to all The measures Of the Admlinistra'
L" ton, and which, by their sympathy with
"the South. nourisn at the North feel>
Z" ing of hostility against the Government. i"
This is the announcement, word Tor
word and monstrous as it is-in view OF
what has already been done-we don't
know that any body ought to be surprised
at it. What other act would have more
certain tendency TO arouse "at the North
a hostile feeling against the Government"
as thus administered The Admins,Ia a.
ton must know that nothing could be
more injurious; and hence Our doubts
about the correctness of the report.

Wasting More Powder. "

"a sheet filed with the spirit of treason ant

"a secession sheet"
The "organ Of secession and treason"
Such ore few Of the lying epithets ap-
piled o-the Republican by the j,mta that
controls the Journal and this, too, after
having, away back in May last, solemnly
declared to IFS readers that we were not
worth the powder" it cost 20 notice us.
We know that this newspaper war oi
words is as profitless as it is distas' 'eful to
our readers but they must excuse us ii
we, like themselves, feel it q duty to de-
tend ourselves when attacked, and TO re-
turn the blow of him who would play the
part of the assassin. We notice this sheet
for no other purpose.
If these charges were true-if it was re-.
ally fact that the Republican is or ever
had been an advocate of secession we
favored that doctrine-if We sympathized
with the secessionists--or if we bad any
desire to aid them in thought, word or
deed--it would be q very easy matter for
our enemies, villifiers and slanderers, to
show the fact. But this they CANNOT do.
Nor do they attempt it-for the very good
reason that they KNOW that it is impossible
10 do go, and that all these charges are as
false rs sin hut if they can dupc the peo.
pie SO far as to make them believe they
are true, the naked assertion Of them will
answer the purpose as we'll as tine proof.
We have said something on the subject
Of our present deplorable condition every

peal to our readers Democrats and Res
publicaus--to say whether or not we have
uttered single word, line or sentence in
favor Of secession-much less of disloya'ty

stitution; and we defy these Dase-hearted
villifers to put their fingers upon single
sentence ever uttered by either of the ed

construed into disloyalty. AS we said on
n former occasion, unless they do this,
they must stand ;mpael before the COM
muuity as the authors of the most delib.
crate and unmitigated falsehoods.
But perhaps these scribblers are SO sap.
py headed that they cannot discriminate

Hick man has been the frequent subject Of
enconiums from Republican papers, for
his alleged boldness and vigor lie has

man was one of the class VINO laughed the
fears of disunion to scorn last fall and was
very valiant in telling what he would do,
if such on event occurred.
Can anv ofour friends point out single
instance where any OF those who were
loudest in contempt for the South, in the
late political campaign, have given any ev-
idence OF their valor? Where is Chandler,
the 'bood-letting' senator from Michigan ?
Where are Phillips, Garrison, Smith and
Beecher, the pioneers OF Abolitionism,wh
have prayed for this very time and occa-
sion Where are Hale, Trumbull, Greely,
Seward. Wilmot, Giddings, Wade and

in fit of desperation, threatened to re-
sign his seat in Congress and follow the

when he made o request 70 see Mr'

appeared, and in the interview assured
the prisoner that he had reason to believe
that he would be released by making due
Acknowledgement of his oIfcnse, and
promising not TO further outrage the sem
timent OF the community. This he deci-
ned to do, and being requested to remove
his clothes he did so, placing them, with
his watch, 10 charge of Mr.. Brown.
After removing every article OF clothes
but his drawers, he was completely covers
ed with coat of tar and feathers, after
which, being mounted on a rail, or pole,
was conveyed to Merrlmac street,in front
of the office of the Democrat, and direct
ly under the American flag.
He was required to cheer the flag which
he did after which the crowd moved IN
the direction OF Bradford. On arriving
at the bridge he was allowed to dismount
and walk through it, when he again
mounted the rail and was carried to the
residence of George johnson, Esq, who
was called out, but the nature Of the exer.
cises there we were unable to learn.
Returning to town, halt was made IN
front of the Eagle House. when the ques-
ton was again submitted, if he regretted
his conduct, to which he replied in the
affirmative, when, by request, he knelt
down, and raising his hand, repeated in
substance the following confession ana
affirmation :-"l am sorry that l have
published what have, and | promise
that will never again write or publish
articles against the North, and in favor of
secession, so help me God" Ate: this lie
was conducted to his home.
