VAR! War ! wAR!l!--ouR Posl1IoN..1 IN THIS
CRISs.
Cur teiegraphic dispatches Of Friday eve-
ming inform us that war has actually com
meDced ~ Charleston; that fort belonging
tosthe United States has been wontonly at.
tackled by An organised band Of revolution
lists. However much We may regret such q
national calamity - this, and deplore the
fact that an assault should be made upon
this Government, we wish it to be distinctly
understood that We believe no man who ex-
ercises the right Of outrage, and no journal
which pretends TO discuss the political Issues
Of the day, has any right to remain neutral
in such crisis a. this; and No assure our
readers that Ne are for SUSTAINING OUR
GOVERNMENT AT ALL HAZARDS-that
lnsurreotion and Treason ought to be put
down-and that We SHALL SUSTAIN THE

We find this passage 10 an editorial article
in the Boston Post:
The uprising is tremendous; and we'll
would it DO for each good citizen, South and
North, to feel this invasion Of the public or.
der at Sumter 40 HE own personal concern.
In reality it 10 30. There IL left no CHOICE
but between . support Of the government
and anarchy The rising shows that this 10

hours' noticel Nor il this all. Capitalists
stand ready to tender millions upon millions
OF money to sustain the grand government OF
the Fathers. Thus the civilized world will
see the mighty energy of free people, sup.
plying in full measure the sinews OF war,
mon and money, out Of loyalty to the -.
premacy OF Law.
Patriotic oitisens! choose you which you
will serve, the worlds best hope, our noble
republican government, or that bottomlose
pit, social anarchy. Adjourn other issues
until this self-preserving Issue 10 settled.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer, l3th.]
From the dispatches it appears that the
Southern army commenced the attack upon
Fort Sumter, and before any hostile dem
onstraton had been made upon them. Thew
broke the status quo which has 20 long pre-
vailed, and upon them clearly rests the i'm !.
mediate responsibility for the bloody strife
which has been inaugurated. They are the
aggressors in fret breaking. the peace, and
will receive the indignant condemnation OF
ell patriots. The onus Of fault they cannot
shake Of.
While We look to the future with dread
and apprehension, while wo deplore the sad
state of things which exists: We reiterate Q
sentiment We have before expressed-that IL
war and bloodshed rage throughout the land
making it desolate, our sympathies will be
with the stars and stripes. We hope no dis.
honor will fall upon that, happen whatever
may.
LLxoRg's SPEECH At BUFFALO.
The following 10 from the speech Of Mr..
Fillmore At Buffalo on the lA.h .-
But, my fellow. citisens, this is no time for
any man TO shrink from tho responsibility
which events have oas upon him. We have
reached crisis 10 the history Of this coun-
try when no man, bewcver humble HE rank
or limited bis influence, has right to stand
neutral. Civil war has been inangurated.
and Ne maat fight it out The Government
calls for aid, and 20 must give it, Our ia.
st,tutions are 10 danger, and No must defend
them. Il u no time now TO inquire BY whose
fault or folly this state Of things has been
prodnced. The Ship Of State 10 10 the break
