Whatever it chooses to send to dIsarm the
South we choose to treat as base attempt TO
throw ms off our guard. We shall not believe
in peace until we have an undisputed procla-
nation by the President with the seal attach
ed. Withdrawing and disbanding the subJuga-
ting armies of the North. We believe that
MIR. LINCOLN is doing all he can in this war
of aggression and subjugation against the
South, but be is not coming up to the fanatI-
cal standard of Northern feeling and sentI-
ment. which are now in state of complete
exasperztion. If he desires truce until the
meeting of his Congress it is only to avail
himself of the advantage which may accrue
by the delay. We have therefore but this adj
vice Relax nc effort to be prepared for the
worst. If there shall be q truce let US avail
ourselves of the opportunity to be as well
prepared as they. Let US not be thrown on
our guard by anything but the most complete
and unmistakable assurances OF permanent
peace
Asan evidence of the state of feeling at the
North towards the South, and towards the
administration because Of its supposed falling
short of the popular demands of that section,

of the city of New York, of the latest date
received. Read and prepare!-

STrkEI-We are at war. Let US admit the
fact and ac. accordingly. Let us cease mere
Tending off. and begin to strike home. Let
the war be instantly carried into Africa Let
Washington be defended, but not alone at the
capitaI The best spots and the best modes
TO save Washington are to strike heavy and
instantaneous blows at Maryland and Virgin
ia. and thus give the rebels work enough to
do at home. Let troops be poured down up
on Baltimore and, if need be, raze 1t to the
pround. Land troops in Southern Virginia
Immediately. and let them scour SOuthamp-
ton and the adjoining counties with fire and
sword. We are at war with these pestiient
rebels and traitors. Let Us treat them &C
cord;npIv. Strike homeI Let the assassins
of Baltimore. and the murderers and thieves
of Norfolk and lower Virginia, feel the weight
of our blows

.The people will no longer be content with
defending the Federal Capital. BY the end
of This week. patriotism will have planted
% 600 troops in Washington. The stream is
ouiy lust beginning to pour. By the LIST of
Nav. 5O,0OO will be encamped along the Po-
touac. VIII they be satisfied TO idle away
their time Oh the nortberly bank of that river,
waiting for JEFF. Davis to come and attack
them? mol They, with the $4,000 more that
will be pressing upon their heels by the last
of Nav. will demand to be led across the riv-
er to Richmond And they will go, and that
den of rebels and traitors will be broken up

...Tbrouph Baltimore to Washington is
the motto of the patriot soldiery now rushing
to arms in the Free States In going to the
National Capital, in obedience to the call of
their country, they have no intention to turn
short angles or follow devious courses, either
to avoid the Plug-Uglies OF Baltimore, or
please their allies the late hypOcritical Un-
ionists of Maryland. They propose to go to
Washington "by the usually travelled route
as The law directs. If Baltimore objects, they
will insist If she resists unto blood, they
will remove her out of the way, and go over
the suot where Baltimore used to stand.
1. Secession is TO be crushed out in blood
and fire if necessary. The United States are
still to remain Continental Power, not
of one"
From the N Y. Courier and Enquirer, April IS
"From all we can learn, the Government
are in ignorance of the feeling which has
been raised and pervades every section of
the North. The insult to our flag by the at
tack upon Fort Sumter, and the dishonor
brought upon it by the capture of that Fort
ress. united the whole North and buried party
and party considerations so deep, that they
will never be heard of again, until this Re
bellion is put down. And then followed the
murder of the soldiers of Massachusetts in
the streets of Baltimore on the anniversary
of the Battle of gton-brutally muir
dered when quietly vending their way to the
National Capital to protect it from the threat
ened assaults of Traitors in Rebellion against
the Government. The effect of this outrage
can only be compared to setting fire TO fax.
We have never seen, read. or heard of any
thing like il; and every hour, throughout
the entire free North, the fire RACES and ex-
tends and burns with increased intensity
The cry of revenge mingles with the prayers
and aspirations of Patriotism; and altogether,
a sentiment has grown up in this city, re-
sponded to everywhere throughout the North,
which would unhesitatingly vent itself upon
Abraham Lincoln himself, and every member
of the Administration, if they shall venture
to compromise the right-the absolute right OF
the free North, TO travel whenever il pleases,
and without melestation, through the City OF
Baltimore, on their way to the relief of
Washington. Attempt to compromise this
right by negotiation, or compromise, or con-
cession, and one or two things is absolutely
the patriotic fires now every
where burning, will be quenched and smoth-
cred as with a wet blanket, or the people will
march to. and sack the city of Baltimore,
without any permission from the Govern
ment.
"There are two ways of putting down the
present Rebellion and saving the Union. The
one is, to call from seventy five to hundred |
thousand troops into the field, and consume |
two or three years in scientifically terminating |
the war at a fearful loss OF life, an enormous |
cost In money, besides destroying the bust
ness OF the country pending the war; which,
