war, and conspicuous since the war began for
be.ligereut and ferocious couusels, who has
volunteered to put his person in peril By CON-
| lag to the scene Of action and sharing the
nardships Of the camp, and the dangers of
the field.
| The Abolitionists proper have absolutely no
military representative in the war. They
have cried aloud and spared not, but neither
| tho Massachusetts, fanatics nor the Western
| Reserve Of Ohio have taken the forefront Of
the battle. Gems. BUTLER, CADwALLABER,
| PATTERSON, and other officers, are old Demo
| Gratis, as are most Of the rank and flo. There
is Only this to be said in their favor, that they
had no agency in bringing on the war, bu. this
merit is more than balanced by the plianey
| with which they have yielded themselves to
become the bloody tools of despot, and the
| mercenary motives which have led to their
| support of this abominable invasion. But
| where are the men who have fomented these
| troubles for long years, who have sown the
seed of malice, hatred and all uncharitable-
| ness in the Northern mind, who are shoutin 6
at the top Of their voices for war to the knife,
! for hanging prisoners and contscation Of pro
perty? Where is HENRY WARD BEEogER p
Why don't he come, as old Jorg BaowN asked,
and maintain his doctrine here in person ?
| Where are his co-laborers of the press? The
leading Republican and Abolition journals OF
the Northern cities have labored for years to
bring on the present state of things, but now
that they have succeeded, why do they not
| face the music, So large is the force Of per
sons engaged in each of the leading offices Of
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati,
&C., that, in times Of peace, it is not uncom-
mon to hear Of an entire volunteer company
being raised by single printing establish
| ment. Such a paper as the New y ork Tribune
| has an editorial staff of some fifteen or twenty
| young men, in the full vigor Of life and
| siren 9Th, most Of them having no duties or
| obligations of any kind to repress their mill
tary ardor. Yet this Tribune, which is the
NEST incendiary, vindictive, and demoniac
| sheet in America, which has done more than
| all the rest of the Northern press to infame
| the Northern mind to its present frenzy, which
| bowls every day for blood which, if sanguin
AIRY words could take off heads like an axe,
| would surpass in one day all the achievements
| of the guillotine during the Frer ch Keyoiu-
ton, has not contributed single man to the
| entertainment Of shell, shot, bayonet and can
| nan, to which it has so persistently urged lis
countrymen. Its editors, secure from The ap-
proach of war, spend their days in heaping
| tho al,ar of Mars and thCir
| nights in devotions ut the shrine of Bacchus.
| The same is true as far as our knowledge ex-
tends, of every single Republican and Adolf
ten newspaper in the whole North. Where is
RAYMOND, Of the Times, who promised that
| Richmond should be taken ere this, by two
| weil-apponted armies, each consisting Of
twenty five thousand men, one marching from
| Alexandria, and the other from Old Point, ito
which an army could be easily transported
from James river" Oh, marvellous hero OF
the quadrilateral, planner OF campaigns

| offered his yacht Rebecca, TO the service Of
LINCOLN, to be armed with Dahlgren'S and
commanded by the youthful BENNETT? What
| has become of Rebecca? Where is that man

Aud what is true of the Press is true of
those who have far more responsibility for the
present state of things--the Politicians. For
nearly quarter of century they have used
the anti-slavery sentiment as hobby to ride
into power. They have been busy, first in
counting and then in building up and eniarg-
ing and strengthening an anti-slavery and
anti Southern party. Sries Of aggressions
upon the South, such as we never suffered
from Great Britain, reached their climax at
last in the open, infamous and successful at
