One good thing c,ine out of Gov. Stewards
coursr last Winter, and il was worth more than
all that was done IN that trying period. His
defense Of R.pubIcauism 10 his great january
speech, and in his mast-rly frbate with Senator
Mason, wac carried t every man who could
read in rho Slave States by the very Journals
that used to denounce m without stint as the

REPUBLICAN POSThhSTEhS.
From Our Own Conc-pon5en.
baltimore, April 10, 1861.
The city il quietly await ny the deo0uement
OF the recent majestic exhibition Of Executive
power by the Federal Government, in the full
belief that it win strike terror into the hearts of
toe Rebels. But few hereabout believe that JEFF
Davis will assume the responsibility of naugu-
rating a contest Of foroe.
Notwithstanding the passage Of Gov. Wi.es
resolution by the Virginia Convention, assuming
to recognize, in tbs nauc OF the people OF that
State who voted down Secession last February
by majority OF $1,000, tue Independence Of
the JEFF. Davis Negro Heptarcby, the conspira-
tors will hnd, whenever they dare submit the
question of recognition to their masters, that
they will be Overw oelmed.
TIE apoloeists Of Rebellion and Secession
notice, are out open-noutbed ia the prees, trying
10 parry the constitutional efforts of the Presi-
dent 10 execute the laws, and are insisting that
the receet military and naval preparations are
not aimed at all at tho Montgomery Rebellion,
but are merely for defense. How conscience
doth make towards of us all when engaged in q
bad cause lhese uPOioSsts WIN soou n"fo aH-
other string toplay upon.
"The Fugtise Slave law can never be exc
cuted," used to N the outcry of the Rebels when
they held the reina Of power in Washington, and
they purposely kept this question open for po-
Itcal agitation. See how Mr.. Lincolns Admin
istraton executes it, oven in Illinois 30 terri
bic hos the certainty Of its execution becope, IN
the eyes of the fugitises themselves, that they
are flying to Victori&s fee doniinions BY
hundreds.
Since the power of the Federal Government
can exert such mighty influence in the execu-
ton 81 single case, under this odious law, 1T is
to be hoped that il will be directed ere long
toward the protection Of citizens ,of the United
States in Negrodom from the savage Violence
