Again we c~onjure the friends of the Pence
party to abstain from all action that may not
have the fullest sanction of the law. While
we would not have them resign one privilege
OF al American citizen, yet We would not
have them strain the law = hairs breadth 10
support their dearest rights. Leave the dc.
s%truction Of private property, the tarring and
feathcriug, the violence, the mobbing, the
trampling upon the Constitution, the breaking
up OF peaceable gatherings, the threats, the
denunciations, and the outragcs, to the part
sans of the Administration. To speak ones
honest convictions freely and boldly, but al
vays with dccency aud with respect Tor the
opinions of others, is not illegal and we have
sufficient faith in the strength and determine
ton of the Peace party to believe that even
without d representative press they can make
Roadway against uSurpation and taiiatlcisln,
and redeem their country from anarchy anu
ruin, without violating ore principle OF pro-
priety, equity, morality or law.

We find the following manly and ontspoken
notice from its proprietor. No ulan who has
any genuine sense Of right, or appreciation Of
public freedom, can fail to respond, with his
whole heart, to the fearless and independent
spiri, with which it is animated. In the mad
mesa which is upon us, such a spirit, it is true,
may be bent, but it can never be broken. No
government, since the freedom Of the press
began, ever entered into f contest with Tree
speech without being overcome. History has
no record of any other result. II the govern.
