A War of Aggression---Freeing the Slaves
...COnfiScation.

---COntlScatlon.
AT the commencement Of the Secession
difficulties, the administration of Mr.. Lincoln
professed very peaceful intentions; they were
only dcsrous Of "enforcing the laws" "pro-
tectng the public property" &C.. but it was
soon stated that the ultra Republican element
had obtained the ascendancy in the Cabinet,
and it at once became evident that a war of
aggression upon the South was to be nau
gurated. This was openly proclaimed by
Col. Baker, in his speech at New York.
Troops having been called out, under pre-
tence that they were needed to protect the
Federal Capital it is now apparent that they
are to be used for an entirely different pur-
pose. What that purpose is, may perhaps
be learned from the following extract from
an editorial article published in the New
York Tribune, April 23d, under the head of
"Confscalion" What will all true Union
men say TO such damnable insinualons and
propositions? Butte Democrat.
Especially let Maryland and Virginia look
to it, Tor as they are greater sinners so their
punishment will lie heavier than that of
others. Virginia is rich an beautiful State,
the very garden of the Confederacy. But it
is a garden that is doomed to be God deal
tramped, and its paths, its beds and its
boundaries are likely to be pretty completely
obiterated before we have done with it,
1t has what it is pleased to call property in
men, which will probably take care of itself
in the struggle, waiting hat in hand for any
new conner disposed TO give fair days
wages for fair days work But it has
other property-property in houses, in lands,
in mines, in forests, in country and town,
which will need to be taken possession of
and equally cared for The rebels of that
State and Of Maryland may not fatter them
selves that they can enter upon war against
the Government, and afterward return to
quiet and peaceful homes. They choose to
play the part of traitors and they must suffer
the penalty. The worn out race of emascu-
lated First Families must give place to the
sturdier people, whose pioneers are now on
their way to Washington at this moment in
regiments An allotment of land in Vrgi
MIA will te fitting reward to the brave
fellows who have gone to fight their coun
try's battles, and Maryland and Virginia,
free States, inspired with Northern vigor,
may start anew in the race for prosperity
and power.

The whole tendency Of the private letters

One Of the editors Of the Cincinnati CONNER

writes to that paper as follows:
Eighteen miles east Of Carbonate lies the
town OF Marion, the bot bed Of secession in
Egypt, from whence a company Of ragamuf-
ms left not long since. There is no doubt but
there is a strong secession feeling in parts OF
Southern Illinois. While but one organized
company has left the State, recruiting for the
confederate forces has been and is vet carried
on IN portions OF Southern Illinois, and large
numbers have quietly left the Staie in SQUADS
OF half a dozen and gone to Memphis. Il will
need a few hangings to put an end to this,D
there are thousands Of good and true men
al! through Southern Indiana and Winoia who
believe the South is right, and d-nouncs the
unhoiy var noW being waged against her, and
many OF whom will vet give US their active aid
and sympathy. Before many more months
