Our iolsFraphic despatches inioFm US that

North, but that it does not give entire salts
faction 70 the south. We need not say that
we rejoice to know that traitors do not ap
prove Of e. We should be very, very sorry
ifthey did They regard Il as adeclaration
Of war against treason, and such, in our judg-
ment It may very properly be considered
Thank 1Od il is such declaration. Corrup-
ton, outrage, wrong and treason have ruled
our country long enough, and we are deeply
sincerely thankful that an honest, PATRIOTIC
country-loVing man once more holds the reins
Of government. tlal
We are not unmindful Of the fact that the
brave utterances Of Mr.. Lincoln may lead to
civil strife. It will be no surprise 70 us 70
learn that Southern traitors have attacked
the federal government But, thank God,
the responsibility for civil war will rest with
che traitors aud no with the Government
And again, thank God, the Northern people
are now a unit in their discrimination 70

The address Of NJ. Lincoln is worthy Of
him, WORTHY Of his party worthy Of an
American Preside IT, Once more the respect
Of the world is ours. II the mad scheme OF
the traitors is to be eartia d out, We shall
look for an early attack upon Bort sumter.
We have no fears for the result We would
not be surprised 10 bear that aid has been
already sent to Anderson. And when It is
sent, BY order Of Abraham Lincoln, Il tDiH get

affair, but genuine reinforcement.
We are no believers to peaoeabs secession.
We do not believe that this Government can
or will be destroyed by INK Blood built it
and blood alone will destroy it or make il
stronger. Il will not be destroyed. Just
revolution might be, as it has often been sue
eessfuL But Southern treason has no jus
ti6caiion---no excuse; and the mad, wicked
scheme of the Sec .ders viii result in &c ig-
nominous failure. A Southern Confederacy,
based on human bondage, is q drunksra' 8
dream The DaVises, Ianeeys gRhetts, Ben

will dance on nothing yet, and leave a
memory, that all the world viii scorn.
| Mr.. Lincoln has declared his purpose to per-

avoid the conclusion that traitors viii yet
and speedily, plunge ths country in civil war.
| We of the North conscious Of having done
our Southern brethren no wrong, and loving
our free form Of government more than life,
will not tamely submit to its overthrow by
men who have no higher object then more

We ofths North will stand BY our glorious
President In his efforts to defend and uphold
our Government, and in the darkest hour Of
the conAic, that may ensue we shall never
be without firm faith in the triumph Of the
