on our streets Duty OF our .. :.
We Published, yesterday, the excellent
letter Of Hon. Edward Everett, enjoiuing
upon every loyal community the duty Of
locking amer emIGsariss Of secession, In
the shape Of trsaeherOuS newspapers. We
presume that bat few true men Wto read
that letter, dIssenIed from the views eE-
pressed. We would have very little faith
10 the UniopIsm Of any man who did,
Thanks to kind Providence, we have no
secession newspapers, Of a homo growth,
among Us 70 look amer. But We have
what 10 nsarIy as bad. We have foreign
sses.sIoa sheets imported daily into our
uIdSi, and sold largely on our streets
And we deSIrs now to bring the nuisance
70 tue attention Of those whose duty It Is
to look into Il aud put a stop to 1t. The
Baltimore SGH aud Exchange, the Louisville
cspisT, and the New York Ns.ss and Day.
Book, are brought aud sold here with i'm
puniiy. They are papers that our citizens
would not permit|o be published here for
q dayi aud jet, ltraugely enough, their
sale IL allowed. The thing should be at
once stopped Their columns are 6lled
with the raaksst poison Of treason. Their
whole mission 10 10 sap. undermine and
destroy the Union sentiment 10 the border
States, one or two Of them pretend to be
peace sheets, and they Whine about the
war, and .stsalthly and steadily inoeulate
the mind Of the innocent reader with the
talnt Of secession.
This Il no time now to mlneS mattCrs,-.
The hour for u vigorous vIndIeAtion Of the
Unlon has fully come. Already has 1t
bsea burtfuily delayed. No odds what this
aud that traitor may say-the time has
come when not one Of these peatileut aud
desperate sheets should be allowed inside
this city. The men who sell them should
be held 70 the same accountability that
they would incur for selling immoral cards
Of books. No doubt they are sold thought
Iessly aud blnmeiesSly thus fAr-bat that
IL neither here nor there--tbe sale should
be stopped short on or course the trait
orS will howl about it. What Is it that
Unlou men do for the preservation Of the
UnIou that they 10 not howl att They
howlsd At the President for calling for
troops In April last. They hOwIed at him
Tor the bIoekade-for the suspension Of the
habsaS corpus writ-for Invading our "sa-
cred soir'-for supplying the Kentucky
unlon men with arms-for stopping con.
trahaud shIpmsntS-aua for everything else
that be has done. There is nothing that
be could do-nor that the Union men any
where could do, that they would not howl
at Bat what does 1t mattsri Let them
howl to their hearts eOntsnt-Ouly let the
Union men push right on and strike right
home at the schemes aud plans aud plots
Of the iueendiaries At every turn aud 10
every shape.
We hope 70 see immediate and effective
steps takSn for the prompt radiance Of
these poisonous sheets from thiS commute
y. Let the Union men bring every one Of
them TO the attention Of the authorities,
and urge prompt action 10 reference to
them. Too long our people have been
Slow and patient
