1t is good thing that there is no more than

Treason and DisuniOn in 1Si6,

A writer in the Elmra Go@ettc makes the
following extract from the New York Tri
bane, June 9th, 1916, from the proceedings
of a convention held the day previous in
Fanieul Hall:
Resolped, That if the Governor or the
Legislature of this Commonwealth shall do
any act to aid the Government of the United
States, in prosecuting the infamous invasion
of Mexican territory and rights, obey its
requlstlon tor troops, or co operate in any
way to assist in this war or give it coune
nance, they will deserve the contempt of all
honest men, and be recreant to duty, to
liberty, and to the Constitution.
ReSol0ed, That we, the people of Massa-
chusetts, do here now de deiberately assert that
there is no longer Union of the States, a
National Constitution, National Executive,
that no citizen of these States is under any
kind of Obligations, of patriotism or honor
to aid the act Of unparalled outrage upon Il
sister republic; that participation in this
war is an act OF conspiracy with maurauders
and murderers against the nation and that
we announce for ourselves, and recommend
to our fellow citizens the adoption of these
three measures as alone suitable in the pres
ent crisis:
/. Individually and collectively to pledge
ourselves in no way to countenance, encour
age, or aid this inhuman or imHious robbery
of Mexico
2. individually and collectively to pledge
our contributions to support the families OF
those who, being drafted for this war, refuse
to serve and take the penalty.
3. To meet in primary assemblies of the
people, and in county, State and general con
vention. for the end of re!establishing the
PROSTATE Republic; of forming a new bond
of Union Of tieemen only of adopting new
Constitution which shall be founded upon
principles of universal justice, and fitted in
all its articles to secure equal rights Of every
citizen to "life, liberty and pursuit of happi
ness" and Of organizing the people into a
nation which God in his providence design
ed us to be, a nation Of united freemen.

What Abolitionism has Done.

The Detroit Free Press Tells the country
what aboiitlonlsm has done, as follows:
"Aboliuonism is potent for evil but DOW
erless for good. We challenge any mau to
point to single benefit it has conferred up
on the country, or a single slave whose con-
dition it has alevaed. Without its danger
Gus teachings southern conspirators would
have been without weapons to accomplish
their internal purposes. 1t is without excuse.
Its aims are founded on a mistaken philan-
thropy
The means which it proposes for the &C,
compIlshment of these aims are reprehensi-
be and base. There is no end to the evil it
has brought upon the country 1t has pois,
oned the fountains of the public prosperity.
1t has aroused the passions of the people to
frenzy. 1t has estranged, made bitter and
lasting enmty between the people of the
northern and southern sections of our coun.
try. 1t malgns the memory Of those purest
of statesmen, The founders of our free in
sttutons, and finally in tanning the flame of
excitement, in opposing all compromises by
which our present complications might have
been avoided, its parlizans have large
share of the responsibility Of bringing the
present war upon the country with all its in
Vulnerable evils and the end whereof no man
can torsee. If anything is to be abolished
we say by all means let it be aboli.

and conservative men everywhere to unite

ter this fashion!

coin has already received the stigma of the
savehound of Illinois" 1--WE have a right
TO proclaim loudly" it continues "aoanst
the infamy with which be has vio'at~, the
Constitution" Yet it adds that "lhe Con
stitution of the United States was acursed
with curse as soon as il was made" and
calls on Congress to lose no time in enact
ing the total abolition of slavery uncondi-
tiona, throughout the country" 1t spits
out venom against the FLAG of the Union,
and asserts that "the eagle of the United
States is very deformecl, obscene, thievish,
gluttonous and cruel beast" and says mot the
the slightest faith ought to be put in this
foul, lazy, creature" The Anh- .Slo0Gy
Standard calls the Chief Magistrate the "un-
looked for assistant of Davis and BeauregarW
and accuses him of having "quenched the
enthusiasm of the people, and done more to
paralyse the Northern arm than all the sue.
cesses Of the Abolitonists
If the editors of these prints and many
others like them, can speak thus of the Ad
ministration, while Mr.. johnson is punished
the public will naturally conclude that a
carte blanche is allowed Abolitionists to abuse
the Government as much as they please, and
that freedom Of speech is special luxury for
their benefit exclusively. Very few persons,
we assure the Administration, will admire
favoriteism and partiaIity.

An Ger True Picture.

The Boston He,aM GndependenD in re-
fering to the extraordinary zeal of diIapdal
ted, rejected, crippled and seedy politicians
for the war, and the rejection of all partysm
for the sake of the Union, makes The follow
ing remarks:
"You will find the trading politician at all
public gatherings, read Y to preside or to
make q speech. He is intensely patriotic
about the war, or whatever happens to be
popular at the time. His zeal is unbound
ed. lie is ready to sacrifice himself for his
country He is done with party. lie can
not stoop to any thing which would appear
Ike partizanship- he. He wants the
people to come together, and throw over
board The men who entertain honest opinions,
and vote accordingly, and all unite upon the
political trader. lie is the chap for the
crisis There is no party smell about him.
lie is willing to unite with anybody and
everybody to accomplish The great purposes
had in view by the people. He is ready to
make himself generally useful in arranging
the plans and details of the no party affair,
and, when it is all fixed, you will see the no.
party trading politician uas got the Office
which pays the best assigned to himself. But
his patriotism knows no bounds He is
sound on the goose, which is made more ap,
parent by the violence he uses in denouncing
theman and men who have been so foolish
as to have fixed opinions, and so ,erdant as
to believe him honest in the advocacy of
doctrine"
The Placer herald., 1861-12-28

The PRoGREss OF THE WAR-SIowly but
surely is the march of the war toward abo
itionsm When the New York Times,
more bold than the rest of the republican
papers, declared months ago in favor of con-
fscation, and abolition, as a means of con
quering peace, the Republican press declarl
ed that the Times did not represent their
party; they secuted the idea and Indignantly
hurled back the charge when it was made
against them. Now, they have discovered
that as the Union is worth more than slave
rv, therefore, general, sweeping emancipa
ton act by the Federal Government would
be right and proper. Republican Congress-
men are ready for the measure. They are
ripe for it now, and but for the eau ion of
the more conservative among them, they
would hail it with joy. No one, who has
watched the progress Of the war, doubts that
the Republicans would gladly at any time
have converted it into a crusade against sla-
very, if they had dared, and that they were
only waiting for such time as they thought
the people would submit to it.-Erpress.
General Jim Lane says his Brigade will
"foow him to hell" if he but says the word.
That would depend upon whether there was
ANYTHING to steal in that locality.

The EFFEcr ON Mr.. LINCOLN "A cor
respondent Of the ST. Louis Republican wri
ting from Washington, thus describes the
effect of care on Mr.. Lincoln:
You must see the President to have any
adequate conception Of how dreadfuIly the
heavy complication of affairs which have
thckened around him have exhausted even
his immense physical powers. See him and
then you will have very vivid conception
of tired giant. See him, and then you
will have some idea how Atlas looked ust
after he had lifted the world upon his shouh
ders One never thinks Of the immense
mental labor and haunting care that has ac-
cumulated so heavily since his Inauguration.
II you saw him then, you should see him
now; and if you ever thought it pleasant
thing to be President, you will Immediately
abandon that extravagant idea.
