and emphatically stated in the Eveaing Journal
in the following words:-"It (7ribune) invited
secession; it encouraged the Gulf States to
rebel; It declared that when the people of five
or SIX States made up their mind pretty unani-
mously to 60 out of the Union there was no
power to prevent them doing so; and, having
settled the question in its arrogant and
dictatorial manner that they had right to Sc
cede, it followed up the work of disunion in
successful efforts to drive the border States
out with them" This statement is conclusively
proved by reference to the Tribune files.
This is the journal that, when it had driven
as many States as possible into the 30 called
Southern confederacy, cried "Down with the
administration" of its own choice, assisted in
driving our army into its Manassas, and is now
urging the war cry of emancipation of slaves
Its emancipation banner is but another degree
Of its abolition heresy SO long and so persistent
ly advocated until the country is plunged into
a war; and our government is obliged to main
tain the Union by force of arms, if at all. We
trust that the administration has learned, by
adopting the "Onward to Richmond" clamor,
not to heed this last disunion and anarchical cry
Of the incendiary press. Should they again
yield, worse than Manassas awaits them.
proclaim ation of emancipation, in the LANGUAGE
Of the World, would bring sure and irretriev
able defeat from the day on which it was pro-
mulgated." Two-thirds OF the army would
refuse to march another step or serve an
other day in such a crusade. None but
abOlitionists would enlist, our capitalists would
cease to furnish means, and there would be a
fearful revolutionary party started at the
North. 1t would, in fact, plunge the country
into general anarchy. Our readers can readi-
tire programme of the abolition agitators and
their press for the last nine months and can be
clearly traced through all the stages of the pre-
sent national troubles. Let us hope that the
government will look upon all such appeals as
only another dsunion dodge, and proceed
steadily, theoretically and faithfully to restore
the Union to its former peace and harmony by
putting down the armed rebels of the South and
their abolition allies Of the North.

Elsewhere will be found remonstrance
from the pastor of the Armenian Protestant
church at Constantinople against certain mis-
statements of the American missionaries. It
was originally addressed to the editor of the o.
serrer-a religious paper published here-who
refused to publish it, because cit would create
a commOtion in the religious world" We can
easily appreciate the motives of our contempt
rary, as well as Of the other religious journals
which were unwilling to admit the document
into their columns, for that religio potico close
corporation designated the A. B. G. F. M. is
already much embarrassed by the condition Of
the country, and can i'll afford to have any in
quiry instituted into the conduct and dOings of
its agents abroad. Hence the religious press
cannot publish any reports save those made by
the missionaries of their own operations. But
We, not being in the same category, feel our
selves at liberty topromulgate such intelligence
to the Christian public as it is important for
them to know, and the more particularly from
the great interest which it must possess for
those who have already seeded from the A. B.
GEM.
Sometime ago we published the history of
gramme was the CONVEX sion Of the heather
populations to Christianity. But after having
maintained agents abroad for many years with
little success, the field of operations was trans
1erred to the semi-civiized, OF, in cant phraseo
logy, to the "nomnal Christians" of the
East The Greeks proved but stumbling blocks
and rocks of offence to them; the Armenians
on the contrary, received the missionaries with
friendship, so that their efforts were not without
success among the latter people. But the ultra
fanatics, as usual, insisted upon extremes-the
work should be not that of enlightenment and
civilization, but of absolute propagandism and
proselytism; consequently schism was created
in the Armenian church, small portion Of
which was induced to secede, under the demo-
mination of Protestant Armenans. Some of
these organized church in Pera, near Con-
stantinople, and not being able to complete the
funds for the erection of an edifice, the pastor
was sent to Europe and America to collect mo-
ney. He was well received in Prussia and
England, and was assured that efforts would be
made in his behalf. He then came to America,
as was announced in our columns at the time
But when the missionaries, notwithstanding
their recommendations, perceived that the
Christian public were much interested in the
cause which the Armenian pastor was advocat-
ing, they began to fear that the patronage which
might be extended to this church would render
it independent of their own Jurisdiction. A
message was despatched by the missionaries ct
Constantinople to the Board to inform the pas
tor and the public that all the money had been
collected in Prussia. The consequence was
that the pastor was obliged to return home
empty handed. The report about Prussia
proved to be entirely unfounded, and the mis-
sionaries, with view to put quietus upon the
matter, endeavored to disparage the Pera
