which the Tribune, Post, Independent, Anti
| Slavery Standard and Liberator are continually
making his name their watchword, in their pre-
sent assaults upon the government. Even the
Mayoralty election is made by the abolition
lists to rcvolve round the same noxious
dyke, and Johnson were found associated
together, evening before last, as vice
presidents of meeting which endorsed the
course of Fremont, thus virtually denouncing
Mr.. Lincoln and his measures All this while,

gentleman, in not protesting in the most solemn
manner, against the employment of his name as
rallying point for discomfort and disloyalty.
says not word, allows the evil to grow daily
more widespread, and strengthens, by taci
connivance, the hands of those who for thirty
years have been conspiring for the overthrow
of the constitution and the laws.
General Fremont was court martallcd seve-
raj years ago, for disobediencc Of the orders of
his superior in command, and was cashiered for
/ the offence. Polk restored him to his position
| in the army, to the great dissatisfaction
of his fellow officers who regarded
the example as dangerous to military dis
cipline. The extreme gentleness, forbearance,
and moderation of President Lincoln have,
| haratofora nrayapfad HIS haipr on h;acfad IN a
second trial, which without the shadow of
doubt would result in his utter disgrace. The
conservative masses of the community in the
North are beginning, however, to ask how much
longer impunity is to be allowed by the govern
ment in his individual case, while so many Of
tenders of an inferior order, are called to ac-
count and punished. Public sentiment is out
ragged, and the cause Of loyalty suffers detri-
ment by the rampant outcries that have been
lately heard. in so many directions, for a reoI-
ganization of the country on an anti-slavery
basis and the revision of the constitution in such
a manner as to preclude the possibility Of per-
manent restoration Of the integrity of the Union.
The daily TRADES of the Tribune, Times, Post and
| other abolition newspapers: the efforts of such
incendiarics as Senator Sumner to misrcpresent
the views and intentions of the Washington au-
thorities; the efforts that are making to procure
the arming of slaves against their masters;
together with the covert sneers and implied CEN
sure. which of late have developed into out
right abuse of the single minded. conscientious
and patriotic policy that has been pursued by
the President of the United States. are all Gre
ating an alarm which can only be checked by
prompt and efficient measures to put stop to
the progress Of such disloyalty
Nine-tenths Of the people in the loyal States
applaud and admire the course that has been
pursued by the administration: and the unparal-
leled energy it has displayed in putting down
the Southern rebellion, has met with nearly uni
versal approval. The number of abolition NAL
contents is few, but nothing can exceed the insult
ferablc character Of their arrogance, their men
dacity, or the restcssness with which they strain
every nerve to accomplish their nefarious OBJ
jects. For thirty years they have remained true
to the single motto that the constitution of the
United States is "a league with hell and cove
nant with DEATH" It continues to be their prn-
mont as their standard bearer. 1t requires but
one word however, and one effective coup d'etot
to crush out their Vaccinations forever. and
these are what are now looked for by the people
from the Washington government.

Is fully in sympathy with any practicable scheme
which may DO presented for the cxrpaton Of this ma
tonal evil and will accept such result as the only con.
sstent issue Of this contest between civilization and
barbarsm.
Now, here the Hon. George Opdyke, as first
Vice President Of this meeting, places himself
on the Fremont platform, in direct antagonism
to the war policy of the government. The
emancipation proclamation Of Fremont was re-
tracted and his war policy in Missouri was
modified under the Presidents instructions, SO
as to hold subject to confscation the slaves of
rebel masters. but not to emancipate them.
The Presidents instructions were in pursuance
of the law of Congress on the subject and that
law was doubtless shaped TO meet the con-
servative views Of The President. This Cooper
Institute abolition resolution. therefore. is but
the development Of the great design of the
aboltionists to make this war crusade against
slavery, or to dsorganize and break down our
federal administration and the constitution and
government of the United States. Is the city of
New York prepared to enter into this abolition
crusade? If SO, the election of Opdyke rs our
Mayor, on the abolition platform, will 90 long
