opposing the Administration.

The ultra anti.slavery men Of the North
begin to show their opposition to Mr. Lin
coin. The Liberotor and 1nh- ,Siayery
Standard do not disguise their CON
tempt for the present Administration; and
papers like the New York Eadependcm the
Trijune, the times, and others, follow at
a greater or less distance behind. There
is host Of them that show that only the
opportunity is needed for them to spea k
as they never before have.-Newburyport
Mass Herold. '.
1t is the coduct of these men and presses
which has done as much to involve our
country in its present difficulties as the ac-
tion of the Southern rebels; and the trait
orous language OF the Boston LiJerator
every week-of Phillips, whenever he
speaks, and of Sumner and all others Of
their ilk, is as revolutionary politically de-
moralizng and tends as directly to involv-
the nation in general anarchy, as any ut
tered South Of Mason and Dixon's line
The brazcn declaration of the Boston Lib
orator which has stood at the head of its
column for years and years in large and
conspicuous type, that "1he United States
Constitution is covenant utih tie Devil
and a teogue WiM HeH," is constant in
suit to the Government of the country, an
Infamous libel upon the achieves of our
nations independence, and daring and
insolent invitation and encouragement to
the sedition which is now cursing our land
with misery, and expressing it with sor-
row. We were told by this class of men
when the consequences of their conduct
was predicted many years, that the Union
was in no danger, civil conflict was i'm.
possible, the first Indications of violent
revolt would be repressed by overwhelm-
ing power, the social intercourse between
the States and the reciprocity of trade
were mere bagatelles, the negro was all
that was worthy of consideration, tn at it
was our duty to regulate the domestic in
stitutions Of our neighbors-the morals Of
our companions were the subjects that lay
upon our conciences, not our own short
comings-we had but to revile our fellow
men to gain the kingdom of Heaven and
secure a millennium. hese were the prom
ises made by those whose action has been
one of the principal causes of the over
shadowing calamities now upon us-who
have obliged us to cover our peaceful hills
with armed men, our fertile valleys with
weapons Of death, and to color our rivers
with blood-who have taken from the la
borer his employment, the merchant from
his mart of trade, and imposed upon the
whole people burden of debt and taxa
tion which must be answered in the sweat
of their children. Shall the counsels of
such demagogues be listened to longer ?
Shall the incendiaries who have applied
the torch to the fabric bequeathcd to us by
our fathers, be suffered to add fuel to the
flame which threatens to consume all and
no remonstrance be offered Will it be
permitted that the arm of the Government
sball be palsied by the dictation of he all
thors of the mischief No, no; unless the
American people are bereft of reason and
are doomed to destruction. Then let the
public voice be uttered with a Significance
that shall admit of no doubt of its earn
estness in condemnation-aye execration
of all who would render this war any
thing but war for the preservation of the
Constitution and restoration of the
Government-of all who refuse to sustain
the President in his efforts tc save the
country in the manner Congress has di-
rected. .-BOSt0R Post
