HISTORY.
Tie ;uInrc historian" Of America, when he
comes to write the chapter on the rebellion Of
1861. will do Justice and conSign 10 infamy, the
names Of those persons who assembled in New
York, in April, 10 consider tie subject Of super
seding President Lincoln, before be was six
waeks in Office, and Of established Provi-
sional Government. The men who attended
that gathering were Republicans, and Of that
branch Of the party who have now SO much 10
say about "traitorS" They went so far as to
name the man who was to supercedc the Presi-
dent; and they dcpuled one Of the party
editors to feel the public pIl;e. The editor
sent forth the !rtlrr in The form Of pro.
position to overthrow the President. We
exposed and denounced this reasonable con-
duct at the time but the propositions Of the
were so monstrous that The peo.
ple were unwilling to believe them Of more
moment than an outburst OF excitement Incl
dent to the fall of Fort Sumter. We now re-
assert that Ineeling was held in New York,
in April last, and HE question Of the over
throw Of President Lincoln was discussed. -
Let the lnan who has it in his mind 10 write
the history OF the rebellion, gather the facts.
We cali attention at this time to these facts,
because We notice much scolding in certain Of
the New York journals, because the Democrats
of New York and Ohio hive declined the Re.
publican invitation to dissolve the old national
party. This is all - Boston Courier. l4M.

deal with them as they exist. What object
can there be in denouncing the Secessionists Of
The South and placing them in the same cate.
CORY with the atoitionists Of the North, if
more than nineteen twentieths OF the people
Of the ecveo seceded States are Secessionists?
Now what ere the facts in the case?

people Of the eleven Confederate States are in
the cause of their independence Of the Federal
