IMPuDENCE OF THE REvoIUTIoNIsTs.
Two incidents Of this revolution illustrate very strk-
ingly tie arrogant assumption and impudeuce which
Slavery engenders. TIE first the unbushing as
sarance of tie Slave Propagandists after they were
fairly and overwhelmingly defeated at the Presidential
election in demsnd pg that the Republicans should not
only give up all that was won in the battle but great
deal mere than they would have gained bad they been
vctos and the Republicans the defeated party. This
they demanded in the Criteuden Compromise. The
second is the present position of Mr.. Alexander IL.
Stephens specify him, rather than jeff Davis, be-
Tor tlrOig oSeh
Of candid and liberal views He is low in arms
against the Constitution and deserving by s express
terms traitors death; yet, in bis public addresses, he
has the erontery to criticize the action of President
Lincoln, in calling out the militia to suppress this
beIIon, as uncoRstitptionoU" Such amazing impu-
dence is witbou! parallel in history, and could be ac-
aurod nowhere in the world except on the plantation.
SPIRIT OF THE TWO SECTIONS.
The South displays good deal of enthusiasm, but
saw there even in South Carolina nothing at all ap-
preaching this grand uprising Of the whole people,
which we now witness throughout the North II is
worth time to it. 1t is the proudest vindica-
ton of free institutions to find down through all the
srsca ions of politics this underlying primary for
nation Of loyalty and cheerful acquiesence in the right
of the majority, which is the only sure basis of
popular government. The spirit of the North is well
ilusta n the gallant old Bay State, where almost
every company without exception has voted to en-
list for the required three years, where thousands of
eoldiers are impaiently waiting, and imploring that
they NAV be called into the field, and where regiments
are displaying the banner Enlisted for three years,
and thirty if necessary" The universal feeling seems
TO be: Let us have this question settled permanently
az whatever cost" The North has taken a through
ticket, and will not turn back stop over at any of
the way stations. A. D. n.
