What is Treason?

Those who sympathize with the South
ern COnfederacy, as they are pleased to
term the rebel association, complain hat
papers in support Of the Government ap-
ply harsh epithets in using the terms
TRAITORS, +" "treason," SC. So far as we
are concerned, we are not disposed to
use harsh expressions in speaking of men.
The Constitution of the United States,
however, defines treason to be "levying
war against the Government" and a
traitor to be one who "giUes aid and
comfort" to the enemies of the govern
ment. Now, when we speak of the war
against the government we can find no
other expression in the English language
to convey our meaning than the word
treason end when VIC speak Of those who

FIeelng rom Missouri.

Within the past week a great number
IF families have crossed The river at this
place. leaving Missouri on account of the
troubles. Let all Union men, or even
free Sta tie men leave Missouri, and she
will at once be twenty years in the de-
cline. We hope TO see them however IN
stead of leaving, stand firm for their rights
This is no time for yielding or backing
down. This thing is going to be settled
in favor of the Union, and when settled
will be forever settled. Mark that!
Treason will never raise its head in our
land again.
It Is a mistaken notion a great many
naturally Union men in Missouri have
fallen into. They have concluded that
Missouri was bound to seceede anyhow
and as they were residents. and all their
property was there, it was policy to fall
in the current and go in for secession too.
The idea Of ClaIb Jackson handing
Missouri over to JEFF. Davis may as well
be given up first as last. 1t never can be
done. The general government intends
that Union men and interests In Missouri
shall be protected ; they need have no
fears; stand firm, and all viii be right
in the end.

Alarm in Virginia.

A telegraphic dispatch from Washing
ton to the New York Herald says:
"a gentleman who has Just arrived
from Richmond, having left there day be-
fore Yesterday states that the people are
getting greatly alarmed. The vigorous
and determined policy of the %administra-
ton toWards the South together with the
unanimous feeling through the North in
sustaining and maintaining the COVE m
meet has caused the people to pause and
consider whittier they are drifting. He
SAYS it was understood before he left that
President Davis had notified the Govern
ors of all the border slave States who are
acting with the Confederate Government
10 repair Immediately to Montgomery
The object of this movement it is said
was for the purpose Of confering together
upon the momentus issues before them.
1t was believed by the more moderate
portion of the people of Richmond that an
effort would be made for an armistice
with a view of seeing if some plan of
settlement could not be agreed upon.--
Several prominet gentlemen from Mary
land, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee,
were exerting their good offices to bring
it about.
The announcement that the government
contemplated an invasion Of the Southern
states. for the purpose of possessing and
retaking the property which had been
stolen from the United States In the sew
eral States caused considerable consler-
nation. It presented to them the condi-
tion of affairs in an entirely different
aspect"

The Real Issue.

1890
We have great respect for the opinions
of those who differ with us politically or
upon any sensible question having two
sides. But we have no patience with, or
confidence whatever, in intelligent men
who at this day, and in the present state
Of affairs; when the "hoofs and horns"
of the monster treason are Enthusiastically
visible to the naked eye," talk about this
'war of sections,'' ''this political war;"
"this aggressive wal of the Administra-
ton" "lhis war against slavery" and all
that kind of stuff. Its all bosh. and be
who utterS it we can but regard as either
w)sully ignorant of the true causes of
the present unhappy condition of the
country, or is at heart a traitor. The
real issue is, that Jeff Davis & Coal
ways traitOrs-are seeking to destroy this
government and give US a monarchial one
in its stead while the administration,
sustained, thank God, by patriots of ev-
cry political stripe, are endeavoring to.
uphold and sustain it. Nobody wants or
intends to fight the South as a section, or
any other section. or to interfere with
property or rights of individuals or states,
be hat slaves or cattle. But simply to
enforce the laws and maintain the Con-
stitution. In doing this no mans rights,
liberties or property are interfered with ;
but, on the contrary, are protected and
preserved. AS American citizens we
have been taught 10 regard our relig-
ious, educational, social, and political
Liberties and privileges as sacred as life
itself. These cannot be enjoyed under
any other than a tree, republican form of
government. To perpetuate these, then.
our government must be upheld and pre-
served.
Our position is, that it matters not
what party is in power, or who is Pres
ident, or from whence or when the at
tack against the Government came it is
the duty of every patriot to sustain it and
crush out treason.

SARZA-We have long supposed this celebrated drug
had come to an explodedhumbug, but we are assuredby
those skilled in the healing art, that not the Sarsapa-
rilla itself is to be blamed for this conclusion, but the
miserable worthless preparations which contain about
as much Of its real virtues as they do Of Gold dust
It is a commercial fact that almost all Of the Sarsapa-
rilla gatheredi in the world is consumed in the old coun-
tries or Europe, where the science Of medicine has
reached its highest perfection, and where they know
the best what to employ for the mastery Of disease
Hence we are glad to ind that we are now to have a
compound Of this excellent Alternative, which can be re-
lied on, and our community will not need to be assured
that anything Doctor AVER makes is worthy Of their
confidence. He has been for years c Igaged in eliminat
ing this remedy (see advertising columns) designing to
make this chief d'OuUre which should add the crown
nine glory to his already enviable reputation-AmeTf-

VIRerNrA VS.. KEsTUcKY.-It has been
a generally received opinion that when
ever the Ancient Dominion took snuff,
Kentucky (herdaughter) would most duti-
fully sneeze. That's an old fogy idea,
and ought 10 be laid aside. Kentucky
will never permit a rabid and fanatical
minority TO saddle her with secession and
bully her ont Of the Union, as Virginia
was saddled and bullied. Never; no
never. The Union men Of Kentucky
will not consent to be transferred TO JEFF.
Davis like so many chaltels. Mind that.
IF any such attempt Is made in this State,
It wiH be the signal for ciUil a and the
Union men wiH rise IN their might and
crush out and Wipe out the last resfige Of
seceSsi0nism an Kentucky. ON THAT
THEY ARE DETERMINED. They
have stood about as much as they can al
ready. Better not crowd them too far.
TIE True IssUE.-The disunion pa
pers and orators are trying to make the
present state of public affairs a personal
matter between JEFF. Davis and Abe
Lincoln. They hope in this way to enlist
Southern sympathy, and gerrymander
Kentucky out Of the Union. Il will not
do. The true issue Is: Shall this govern
ment be broken up because Breckenridge
was not elected President, and we 60 into

The ST, Louis Afrair.-The PRONE

The st. Louis AfTaiF.-The prompt
and successful action of the United States
troops at St. Louis has had a mos, bene-
fetal effect, and probably saved the state.
Missourians are weH acquainted with
Gen. Harvey and know that when he
says he's going to do anything, he'll do
it. We extract from a letter, dated St.
Joseph, Mo-, of May Is.
The military movements at St Louis
has knocked the starch out of the rebels
in this vicinity. The State troops, ubout
200 in number, mostly armed with arms
stolen from the government arsenal, near
Liberty, have been encamped in this
place since the Sd of this monlh.---
This morning quite a stir was observed
in their camp, and Major Smith who
was in command, scud and left Jeff
Thompson in charge. One-third Of their
men seeded also, and the rest became
frightened, struck their tents and put OFT
for the country, where they could have a
better chance to run if anybody should
get after them. l think the movement
at St. Louis has had a happy effect, and
has saved the State.
