ed Neither is there the least shadow of
evidence that the government has any
such design in prosecuting it to a success
full termination The evidence is wanting
that the government has any other design
than to defend itself against the argres-
sions of those who would destroy its force
and purity. 1t is neither fighting for or
against the institution of slavery The
war was commenced by shareholders, and
against shareholders tie government has
to contend, and not against their peculiar
institution Their lives their property
and their rights were protected by the
Constitution which they have violated, and
if by their own indiscretion and temerity
they have rendered those rights less Sc
cure, on their heads rests the blame. They
have only to return To their allegiance to
the government to secure every constitu-
tional protection that is enjoyed by loyal
citizens in every portion of the Union,
While the South remains in a state of
rebellion, their lives and property are in
secure, and should the institution of slav-
cry become damaged or even annihilated,
as one Of the results of their rebellion
they can cast the blame on nc other heads
than their own. There are undoubtedly
men in the North and perhaps in the
South, who would gladly become instru-
mental in causing instruction and blood
shed in the slaveholding States. But thus
far they ave been held in check by the
wisdom of the Administration. Whether
it will be able to restain those rash fanat-
les through protracted war is question
able. But we have no doubt of its design
as far as possible, to prevent such acts OF
violence, or of its determination to punish
the perpetrators of instructions as rigor-
ousl y as is its duty to punish traitors and
rebels

Secession Publications.

1t is with no small degree of pleasure,
In the present crisis of our country, when
the very existence of our government is
threatened by traitors and rebels, that we
find a vast majority of the Democratic
party and Democratic journals-those that
opposed with much bitterness the election
of Mr.. Lincoln, as well as those of a mild
character-havc nobly, and with a spir it
of patriotism of which we are justly prou i.
thrown aside all party issues and come up
manfully and with right good will. to
the support of the Government in main
tanning its authority and integrity. We
cheertully pay to such our tribute of APP
"-noia tinn md -ne,an+
There are, however few executions TO
this fair record Among the newspapers
on our exchange lis, we could name few
that are held in check by public sentiment
from utterlnS open secession doctrines,
but that have scarce a word of disappro-
oatlon OF the course of Southern rebels
and traitors. Others there are. that with
more holdness, speak out, in language not
10 be misunderstood, their svmpathies for
the secessionists, and lose no opportunity
Tor consuming the course of the Admins
tratlon IN its cndeavors to suppress re-
bellion.
Among the latter class the most promi-
nent that have come within our notice, are
the Dubuque Hera!d and the New York
Day Book, and we regret to add that each
finds its admirers and supporters, even in
this community. The boy Book is a
spitetul, malicious and traitorous sheet, of
as much bitterness as the Memphis 1pDeol
or the Charleston Mercury The HeraM
processes to favor the Union cause, and at
the same time breaches doctrines that
would be admired in Richmond or Mont
somery- The circulation Of such papers
Is tolerated IN the North where the free
dom of speech and the press is respected.
In the South, the paper that would utter
sentiments unfriendly to the government
OF jeff Davis, as these papers do towards
the Union, would subject its editor to a
coat Of tar and feathers, and the Office
from which it was issued to certain de-
stfuction. Such is, and such has ever
been the difference between northern and
southern toleration In the north. men
utter their sentiments freely and openly,
without fear of moleStation. In the south
the man that speaks. or is suspected of
entertaining sentiments not approved by
by the oli@archy, must pay the penalty,
often with his life.
