The government has taken the wise step OF stop
ping the circulation of the Daily Neos, and other
secession journals, throughout the country, al
though it permits their free distribution in the
city of New York itself Here there is no dan
ger to be apprehended from its teachings The
people of the metropolis are amply able to take
care of themselves, ana want no help in so
doing. Disturbers of the public peace would
soon find themselves in hornets nest, per-
haps, if they managed to manufacture real dan
GER tied TO the lannon's mouth. In the rural
districts, and in the more sparsely settled re-
gions of the East and West it is different, and
everything contributing to disorder or to dis
affection should be put down. For tins reason
such newspapers as the Tribune, Times and
| Independent should call forth the immediate
action of the authorities These bloodhounds
of aboltionism which melted the administration
to the unhappy calamity at Bull run, are now
bounding it on to violate all of the privileges
| guaranteed by the constitution to the Southern
States. They proclaim, openly, that the war
which has begun can only end with universal
emancipation, and the elevation of the negro to
and tear, at any and everything which opposes
itself to this diabolical dctun,, and insist
that we are in the midst of struggle, not to
elevate and save, but to disrupt, rend asunder
and overthrow. Such teachings ought to be put
a summary stop to by the administration.
Neither Congress, the Cabinet, nor any local
authority, however bigotted and fanatical, has

end of the present war. Only these mob in
citing newspapers, have insnuated that the
doctrines of the Liberator and Anti-Siauery
Standard ought to be carried into active opera
ton They aim at general anarchy, and are
willing to see States, counties and townships
convulsed with internecne struggles rather
than pot triumph, with their diabolical and abo-
mnabIe principles. Were the suspicion to pre-
vail, generally, for week, that their ideas
could become permanent, insurrection would be
the order Of the day everywhere. Yet the
Greeleys, Beechers and Raymonds of the press
are banded together to produce just such con-
fusion. Popular sentiment is opposed to them.
and they know it; but they trust to the cutlery
they eau arouse against Ben. Wood, with his

subordinates, to save their own bacon. These
latter ought to be put in limbo; but they are
not the tenth part as bad-Confdence Cassidy s

North Carolina. Washington, Kansas, Charleston
and elsewhere which Massa Greeley manufac-
lures in his Office, is believed by the unsuspi-

land to be genuine, and does infinite HARM The
high sounding phrases of the Independent are ac-
ceptcd for church DEGREES, and are read by honest
ignorant people on Sunday as if they were part
of the Bible they sink into their hearts, and be-
come part of their daily lives. 1t is deadly poison
but there is no sufficient antdote. 1t is the
bounden duty of the Postmaster General, there
fore, to exercise his prerogative and prevent
these papers from going through the mails at
all. He is responsible for the future of the
country, at the present time, even more than
any member of the Cabinet and should see
that the Vaccinations of these scLemng, seces-
sonist journals should cease. They are far
more dangerous with their insidious Machia-
velianism than any open advocates of secession

mittee Of Boston financiers, composed Of Messrs
Wiley Edward, John c. Gray and VIM. T. An
drcws, have been to Washington to try and
induce the President to make change in the
Cabinet This proceeding 10 modest one. Mr.
Lincoln, we should say, is better qualified t.
decide who shall be his constitutional advisers
than small knot Of Boston capitalists. Our
Wall street financiers have also appointed q
committee composed of the following gentle
men:-John A. Stevens, George S. Coe, James
Gallatin, Moses Taylor and S. Williams, to con-
fer with the President. They do not 60 to
Washington, like the Boston committee, to die
tate to him whom he shall retain Or dismiss from
his Cabinet, but simply to recommend the infl-
sian of mere vigor and energy il the prosecu-
ton of the war.
The committees exercising these pretensions
Of interference with the government are new
institution among us. They had their
origin in tire delegations got up by
Greeley to prevent the retention Of Seward
in the Cabinet. To defeat the move, similar
committees were sent on by Stewards support
ers to endeavor to Dust Cameron and Welles.

Seward, of whom he is a rival for the Presi-

repetition Of the efforts in question. The
