New-YOrk TO use their great power and infu'
enco to uphold the Southern Conedcracy. II
declared:

The next day, it made this appeal more cOmPre-
hensivc, and said:

Thus FAR i. had maintained that "cyerything
the rebels demanded should be granted them; that
the Union was dissolved and no cOcrciye meas
ures should be permitted to restore its integrity;
that the Government would be compelled by force,
if need be, to relrain from such measures; that
the Southern COnlederacy should be ocknowl-
edged, aud it called upon the people OF this city to
dsmaRd it in public meetings Only one step was
needcd-that The Herald should advocate re-
belon in this state, and propose its annexation TO
the JEFF. Davis Olgarchy. 1t was MOI backward
in giving this final evidence Of its reasonable dig
position. On the 18th Of February, little more
than a fortnight before Mr.. LincOlns Inaugural
lion, it said:

We have taken only here and there sentence
to show the drift Of The HerGid during the
Winter The evidence could be gathered TO a
length that would I'll columns were it neces'
sary, but this ia enough. 1t was therefore
that a body of citizens waited upon IL editor and
demanded on the 10th Of April that he should
show the American flag. What truth there Is in
its assertion that il has " ever been for the
Unon and against all SecessiOnists" these few
random extracts show. Its avOWal that ID mas
4" not changed its course and that IL " has
" been consistent from the beginning" we ac-
cept in the fullest manner. Wo believe that it
is at this moment ss thoroughly in favor Of the
rebellion 40 sincerely determined to do all in
its power TO destroy the Union, aud as heartily
opposed to the Government and the war, as it
was last Winter. Its persistent attacks upon
loyal newspapers, its constant demands for their
suppression are made with the cole hope OF
goading tho people and the Government to
rush, in some moment offrcnzy and dsappoint-
ment into acts which shall prove their ruin
It's purpose ia to overthrow reason and deihrone
law, that In the universal chaos rebellion may
triumph.
