THE RADICAL DISTINGUISHES, NORTH AND SOUTH.
Their Opinion of the New York
Herald.

Tho satanic sheet that stirred up encouraged
the Southern Shareholders to acts Of rebel

Gus ever and Is much more effectively serving the
same cause than possibly could have DONE had II been
permitted TO sail under s chosen lag, instead OF
hypocrtcatiy hosting thu flag OF tho Union, and pre-
tending 70 support tho government and the constitution
against the rebels.
Ono way which has.abored strengthen the rebel
lion and weaken the government has been by dong all In
its power to stir up strife between America and Great Bri
tain This II has done by trying to iname tho passions Of
the American people against the people and government
OF Great Britain and thus precipatng This nation into

that the rebels have been most soctos to enlist their
side SO far as its influence has extended IL has done
for this object than could have been done by Mason
and Slidell and fifty others like them had they effected
their purpose oil visiting Great Britain The HEaAD we'll
knows that British be fomented tho rebels
will have tho strength Of great magazine nation
their side the very object they have been most solicit
tously seeking.
But this is only part Of the diabolica plan OF tho
HEeALD. Not content with striving TO array tho British
government and nation against ally Of the rebels,
its step ia to prevent that national abolition Of
slavery that the Herald well knows and has repeatedly
declared TO be the strongest possible weapon that the
government could WELD Tor crushing out the rebellion.
We could III whole pages Of paper with extracts
from the editorial columns Of the HERALD in which tho
decisive potency OF this measure has been affirmed and
the rebels distinctly threatened with the exercise Of this
power il they did their rebellion. This
frst done tho protessod sudden conversion OF tho
government, 9
these very utcrances that succeeded In gaining repu
tation for loyalty, and propating tho mniinds 81 its
patrons who not only threatened withdrawal Of
their support hut congregated about their Office to give
fghtful expression their maledictons. In doing this
they gave Incidental but strong testimony to the fact
that the honest advocacy Of national abolition OF
slavery among the strongest possible evidences of wise
loyalty to the government and the Union otherwise tho
HERALD, when Its loyalty was more than suspected,
would not have resorted to c.amorous profession Of s
readiness to welcome proclamation Of abolition as
method Of certifying the people Of is own loyalty,
Yet In the face OF these high prcteuslons loud
crations tho HERALD has ab9red unceasgy prevent
that measure OF abolition that had pronounced
and even still. at intervals, pronoancesto be the
strongest possible measure in the hands Of tho govern
mont.
Thus is the HERALD convicted out Of its own mouth OF
xed and settled design to impede the suppression OF
the rebellion.
The next the third move in the desperate aud diabo
cal game OF the HERALD is to array tho government
against its wsest and NEST faithful supporters the nd
vocates Of national abolition Of slavery.
We have the HENAID'S own testimony that the abol
tonsts the wisest and faithful friends Of the
government; for the HERALD ITSELF in order TO white
wash It's own black reputation for disoyaly has re-
sorted to the whewssh Of an anti slavery profession
wherewth to cover its reasonable designs. And
the HERALD has most strongly testified that whonever tho
pieases to resort to The Of abolition
Of putting down tho rebellion, it will most
effoctualy faGl It's intended mission.
And yet, notwithstanding oil this, the HERALD has the
impudence and nsoence to urge the gov
ernmont, day after day and week after week. tho
Of treating rebels its most wise and faithful sup
o
abolition OF slavery. In this category 1t not only in
cludes the aboonsts proper, Of whom II Names

those of the Herald sefony that they suspected

nothing at all save hypocrtica pretcncc.
AS specimen Of the HERALDs daily uttcrances Of this
kind, give extract from its editorial Of November

The HERALD will probably desire ono distinction to be

measures gain reputation for loyalty but who repu
date and oppose those same measures when honestly
urged as means Of s'squelching out the rebellion.
