THE ilGLTARy PoLGCY OF THE NoRrH-Under this
caption the Charleston Mercury says:
The northern government appears to he now actua-
ted BY simple state of necessity Having gone cer-
tain length, there is step backwards The admins
tratiqn cannot pause 1t must at once push forward
The reahOns for aggressive warfare are several
l. Delay is eating out their substance. They are now
living at the rate of million of dollars day They
are making (over their consumption) nothing. They
living their capital and deprived of the income
and profits Of southern trade that captalh has bottom
They mist very speedily subiugate us be bankrupt
Impoverished individually, and bankrupt a nation
They have stakcd on desperate venture, and must
stand the hazard of the die"
2 administration neither restrain their troops
in order nor direct control northern public opinion
Having sed the storm, the government is driven for
ward TO immediate action.
B Delly is fatal to their foreign relations. Their
selfish cdmmeEeal policy makes friends. Already
their tesency aud long delay have forfeited the conf
dence ofEurope in their boasted power and capacity
carry ous their programme of southern subjugation-
Further delay their part IS to firmly establish the
opinion Of Europe in the dc facto existence Of the gov
ernment b the Confederate States and the commercial
benefits df an alliance The government at Washing
ton is under whip and spur Impending party shpwreck
and national humiliation and ruin prick them on thcir
mad ard desperate They must plunge forward
even though they 'lct down" or fall dead in the effort
ABRAJE MAN.-Attempts having been made to silence

which, after recting the facts, he saws:
More tlian that will now say to Mr.. Hntchins aud
all others who desire suppress freedom of speech and
the pres, that am native born citizen Of the United
States and of New Hampshire entitled to all the rights
privegesand protection hch the constitution of both
governments give and that will maintain those rights
at all hazards
If this civil war brought upon our devoted country
by the political abolition party existing among US sus
pends the rights and liberties of the people, and intro
duccs the cign of anarchy and nobocratc violence in
the place Of the law, want to know it.
If fneeesRary am ready have the matter tested IN
my person. And now proclaim to all who are dis
posed to sppGess the freedom Of my press by violence
that am iesoIved to maintain and defend it, and to de
fend my property and person, while have a breath Of
life in my pody, or a drop OF blood in my veins.
This is my firm and resolute purposes for this am
prepared and mobocITtc frienGsnoy govern themselves
accordingly
/ If fall in such cause know shall have avengers
enough abe people of this country have yet be-
come sd dead to the sacred birthFght of liberty he
queathed to them BY fathers see it violated in
the personof the humbles citizen, and not avengc the
outrage lfthey have they become unworthy Of the
freedom which they enjoy and the republic is not worth
