Even like that Of Hamlet's ghostly father,
80 voice is now ringing In the ears Of the
sympathize1s with secesh In Chicago-"sxear"
They have been too long allowed q freedom OF
speech and action in the direction Of sncorr-
aging and sustaining the enemies OF the Gov
ernment, and now they must come squarely
up to the test ......
The people are In earnest In the roatter-in
terrible earnest It il not to be expected that
while On the one hand we are parting with
sons, brothers aud husbands, to expose them
selves in conflict with our foes, when they are
leaving us many OF them never to return, that
it will be permitted to any here to deride and
decry the holy CAUSE Of the Union. It must
cease in Chicago, at Whatever cost. If there
be traitors here, their blood is no nor: pre-
cious, while their services are far more per-
nicious, than If they were arrayed against our
soldiers in the field.
These are they who claim so persisteatly
that here free speech and freedom Of opinion
should have their perfect work, while with
their friends in Seeessla, stray travellers are
hunted down, and frightened school mis-
tresses are harried ont on evea suspicion Of
loyalty.
The change that has come upon our city,
| the new font exposed to the friends OF the
| rebels in this city, and all through the North
means something, as those will speedily learn
who arc SO dasiug rs to test its reality.
Ne write this in warning, to some in this
city who have attempted to achieve notori.
| ETY. they could gain in no other way, by out
spoken treason. There will be examples made
Of these who decline the test. No hostility to
the Government will be protected by any ones
position Of standing in this city. Let this be
underetood. Let those who deem the simple
aud easy test too severe, make up then
minds and their baggage fer heglra over The
border. Loyal citizens in Chicago have begu1
1oyal work that they viii carry through.
