Cincinnati daily press. [volume] (Cincinnati [Ohio]) 1860-1862, 1861-04-24

The newspapers Of Richmond, Virginia.
the Eaas,iaey in'particular, are mauifesting
an uncommon anxiety to have demonstra
ton made by the Confederate Army upon
the border cities of The North, and especially
upon Cincinnati We gave yesterday an ar
tiele from The Examiner, and copy the fol.
loving hicb appeared in the same journal
on the l7;h inst: i' ta
"6TTHcH.HG NORTHERN Cries We trust
that the south Will suOn be in n condition 70

game Of iDvssion which Alb aham Liucolu
has il anRurated is not one which two cIn
plsy si."
V That particular grudpe the editor of the
Eaomin6' has against the Northern border
cities, or why be should desire them to he
destruetvely invad,d, We are at a loss to
understand. That individual was in this
city last Summer, and was kindly treated
by the members Oftbe press and the people.
His indu aye acquaintance with the tOpOgra-
ply oftbe city aud vicinity YOU d seem to
indicate that his visit was N n4de with view
10 ascertain the points ut which it might be
open to attack by Southern army. While
We supposed ourselves TO be entertaining
llow.ci,izen, it appears that we may have
betn haIborirgs spy. Thisis certainly not
very honorable TO the man nor to the pro-
ftssion.
The city Of Cincinnati is arming purely
for prots c,ion. There is no intention nor
wish t. advance a siugle step further than is
Necessary for defensive purposes. The de-
sTe 10 invade or subdue any place or people
does not exist among u.s. The State of Ono,
being 10y al to the nation. cheerfully sends
her quota of troops TO defend its cap. tai,
upon Fequisition of the paramount Govern
meDt; but to that Government and lis
sImies the labor of such defense is con-
mitted. Beyor d the interest which all must
feel in a common cause, Cincinnati has no
share in the Adventure
The minute information which these Jour
nsls, in various ways, exhibit of curreut
events aud transactions in Cincinnati, indi
cate upDistskshly that their conductors or
some body in their confidence are in constant
Communication with persons here. We
have spies among US who are watching our
moVeDeDts, and keeping the leaders South
thoroughly informed of every feature of our
condition aud every Thing that occurs. This
can not he prevented, though we are irC ined
TO think, If any of these treacherous gentry
Should bsPpen to get detected, measures
petty efItctual would be taken to stop his
TsIiOps for the future
These evidences of the spirit of the South
should teach us vigilance Although we
ere not the enemies Of that people, they
make DO CoBcealment of the fact tha At they
are ours When they talk of defending the
South, they mean invading the North. The
wealth Of these 'populOus hives" awskens
the cuPidity Of their loose and prOhisats
population aud they long for the means
and the opportunity to smoke out the in
hsbitaBts and seize the boards of wealth
which they imagine them TO contain. It is
to be hoped that when they come, we shall
be prepared to teach them that although the
hives and their boards are here, there are
stbgs which will make dangerous every at
b mpt at their invasion.
