also punished articles sill more reprehensible and

The Position of the National yeitu,,.
Inc National Ze,fHy thus defines its position on
the question of freedom Of The press. The efforts
tnat nave been made BY certain portion of the
war press to lncite mob violence against that Jour-
nal have called forth these remarks:
No threats or dcnunciations can deter uz from,
running our se-mPosed duties and faithfully la
o"rihg ior what we c0uscientiouSy believe to be
Just and holy cause.-The cause Of the freednrn oF

the people as to your real character and designs

w nat we did try TO impress upon the minds of our
reno" citizens was the necessity Of putting down
that clique of N0rthorn Abolition dsunionists
whose perniciuus doctrines and traitOrous ntrigues
have provoked this civil war, and who now carry
1t on Tor the sake Of punder and personal aggran-
dlZement.' We nave called attenti0n to the over
weenng ambition, to the infamous greed of gain
ana power ot those sham patriotic politicians who
propose to restore by force a Union which their
conduct has severed. They are the real enemies
OF the Northern people, and if they were disposed
of-politicay dead and buried-thcre would be
nothing to prevent a satisfactory reunion of the
two sections Of this glorious and happy coun-
try.
"They know that they cannot conquer the
South; but they need a convenient preense to raise
standing armies, and to assume dictatorial powers
for the purpose of subduing and ensaving the
masses of the North, whose Just wrath they have
incurred, and whose future Judgment they dread"
