nor any of bis followers in camp or court
ever asserted Other grounds for The. war
they are wagipg upon the Union, than is
gwen in the las. number Of the Disanion
organ Of this city.
The Di.anion organ, still proceeding up
on ihe assumption that ths people OF the
North are the direct and sole cause of.the
srsitorens proceedings Of the Soashern
States, submits a plaa-faet, and no mis-
take-for putting an end to the ''unholy
war; now waged By LINCOLN for the spur
pose Of depriving the citizens OF the South
Of their Constitutional rights ~ The won-
derful plan is this :--s:for the Congress
which is to meet in December, to authorize
the Generals 10 commandto agree upon an
armisricc. Then propose amendments to
the Constiiution or call q Convention Of all
the States to arnend is3and let such aate7d-
meats be propose6As wiLL SECURE The South
Ia all their domestic rights and assure them
aqalesi aggression for he future" The
South is not to blame they are juatiiabie
in seeking their rights by thu arbisramens
Of war. This is the legitimate conclusion
deducibIe from the above extract. No other
inference can be drawn! And, as if this
language were not strong spoughto conveyto
its readers the"sympathy for traitors, which
itactually feels which actually permeasesits
whole frame, ,hisorgany patheticaliy calls
for a more isnieut treatment of the rebels.
IL says -sslf the cry of sno compromise
9Th rebels .rciM arms in their hands be the
policy adhered 10, OUR hopes for the Union
will be blasted!' That's in plain language,
saying, that there ought to be no peace
in his country The Union ought moi TOD
presesrsd--save BY allowing the rebels TO
have their own wny-to rule by ballots
when they can, and by bullets when they are
unsuccessful with ballots! And yet, to say
tina, m organ holding to such yiews,is in
ssgmpathyo with the people of the South
| who are weging an unholy and an improve
ked war upon the Constitution and Flag of
our country, j, to be called ga falsifers and
iiarn' Well, we must accept the terms ia
al their length and breadth, for We make
the assertion, and believe il to be true, that
/ there is not q man in the South, from jeff.
Davis down, who wishes more ardenty for
the iebasement of the North, or who breathes
more ardent aspirations for ''comPromise
rith traitors Nth arms in their hands,
than the Disunion organ in this City! 'a. >.
The Disunion organ in this City says That
tho rebels had good cause for the rebellion
they took up arms in defence of their
hts-indemnity for the past; security
for the future! The North forced them to
this step, by its .'higher law" doctrine, re-
s,retion Of slavery, and the on-execution
Of the fugitive slavelaw! On the contrary,
the late STEPHEN A. DOUGIAs, who was
generally supposed to know as much about
these matters as most any one, said, At
Chicago, on the lst day of May, 1861 =.
" The siarery question is a mere erease.
The election of Lincoln is a mere pretexs.
The present secession movement is the re-
suit Of an enormous conspiracy formed
more Than year sioce--formed by leaders
in the Southern Cgufederacy more than
twelve months ago. They use the sldrery
question as means 10 the accomplishment
otthsir en- d. On the l0th of May, lS6l Mr..
DoreLas, ia letter to the Chairman OF the
Democratic National Commute, said-''ali
hope Of cpmpromise with the cotton States
was abandoned, when they assumed thepo-
sit;on that the separation was complete and
final, and that they never would consent to

Above, We have presented, at full length,
tue portraits = one, the portrait of a man,
TO whom the universal world aeeords the
exceeding great merit of dying noble pa
triot the other the portrait of man who
ciaiHss for himself the negative merit of no,
being in 'ssvmpashy with traitors. Reader,
judged BY the standard Of Judge DotcLAs,
how far removed from traitor, dlsuuion-
isl, and ''sympashiasr with sraiters,- is the
hrassr organ of this Citys Jaase We, for
yourselves, re have given you the premise.
upon which you can ba, frame correct
answer.
