humanity can read the malignant, bloouth,rsiy
TRADES which appear, from day 10 csy, ia III
columns of some of the republican journ IL
Of this city, without being filled VITA hocfor
and disgust. The people Of The North, are
unit, in their determination to mase any sacri-
flee Of men end money, for The sake q rcstor-
ing the unity and integrity of the republic.
To accomplish this object, prompt ard vigorous
me assures are expected from the government,
and that the war which has begun, shall be
carried on with energy, until rebellion has
been crushed out wherever it exists. The
wibss # the terrorist newspapers DO not,
however, end in this. They express vim
dictiye malice, and revepgefIi cruelty.
which exhaust the whole vocabulary OF exc
Grafton and menace. The daily calls foe car
mage, during the French Revolution by Marat,
in the Ani da People, We're not more savage
.nd brutal in their spirit, than many articles
that have recently appeared in the portion of
he press we refer 70.
The charitable aspirations Of one of our
aboltioDist contemporaries, broke forGh,
DAYS ago, in the words:-"Whan the rebel
lioUs traitors are overwhelmed in tho
field, and scattered like leaves before an
angry VIVID, it must not be to re
turn to peaceful and contented homes They
must find poverty al their fcesides, md see
priyatior in the anxious eyes Of motssrs, AID
the rags of children" Another paper calls,
virtually for The punishment Of ali individuals
al the South, by hanging, and the coriiscssion
Of eyerybody's property IN the seeding
States. "Ricbmond," says another, "must
be laid in ashes;' and as for Baltimore, ait
must become heap OF cinders and ashes,' ann
its inhabitants ought either to be slsugotersd d,
or scattered to the winds, on account of the
mob asoendsncy that recently prevailed there.
Virginia and Maryland deserve to be "laid
waste and made desolate," aud " five hundred
thousand troops" should "pour down FROM
the NORTH leaving desert track behind
them," to averge the injured majesty of the
Marats ard Robespierres Of the press. Sub
mission on the part of the South, would
not satisfy these bloody journalists of the
republican party. Far from it. They cry
ont; We mean not merely to conquer, bu. to
subjusate'
The people of the North are prepared for no
sucb extremities AS the brutal, blood
thirsty journals of the abolitiorist school
suggest They have not entered into a
conflict with the South, to humiliate
and aubdue the loyal people there, bat
10 preserve tie unity aud integrity of tte
republic against all traitors. Ideas Of re-
vcnge, carnage messacres, reducing towns
10 ashes, end populations TO poverty, have
not entered into their caloulat!ona, excepting 50

The wealth aud strength of the loyal States OF
the Union, have been placed at the disposal Of
the government, rot for purposes Of subjuga
tion, but to oyerawe rebels, wherever they may
show themselves, and 20 restore the republic
TO its pristine grandeur and integrity. I'VE

!, bis inaugural, addressing the people of the

!. The government will not assal you. Though
passion may have strained, it must not break
cur bonds of affection" Mr. Lincoln then
hoped thai the seeding States would return to
their allegiance If they failed to do 50, he

to hold, occupy ard possess the property and
lect the duties and imposts; but, beyond what
may be necessary for these objects, there will
be no invasion-no using of force against or
among the people anywhere" In one word 1t
Mas bis intention, and il is still the purpose Of
The administration, to regard loyal citizens of

traitors with arms in their hands.
The immense display of strength which ia

armies that ere being brought into the field;
