THE DlERERENGE.

Throughout all the region which owns the
sway Of JEFF. Davis, no voice OF opposition dare
utter itself, whether orally or through tie press.
A de.potsm of the worst kiDd-.be despotism Of
A ferocious and brutal mob-ietters every tongue
and every type. To atteppt to issue Union
journal, however moderate 10 tone and guarded
in expression, in any city of Jetldcm, would be
rs stark mad as TO preach against the slave
trade in tho kingdom Of Dahomey. The estab-
li.hment would DO broken up and the editor
killed before he could issue a second number.
French or Austrian censorship is mild aud liberal
compared with this rule Of the revolver aud
bowie-knife.
Now mark the contrast
In the loyal and intensely Union City Of New
York, there are two sheets issued daily that are
thoroughly in sympathy and interest with the
Rebels. They do their utmost to paralyze aud
belitte the heroic efforts put forth by the People
of the North to upheld the Federal Government
aed crush out tho Rebellion. Whateyer can be
aid to discourage the National movement and
bring the War to a close dlsgraceful 10 the loyal
States, is freely uttered by these journals; both
Of them utterly unmolosted and not onl pro-
tected by tie Police, but one of them draws
it's sustenance in large measure from our Munich
pal Treasury There are two or three other Of
our city journals that are really in sympathy with
the Rebels, bat do not So openly avow the fact
Tie Freedom Of the Press is here as fully ac
corded to Rebels as to Patriots, and We trust
ever will be.
Turn now to Baltimore:
That city i. held by the Union forces, /, com.
manded by the gus OF Fort Mcfienry, and is
m effect il not in name under martial law. It's
Commissioners aud Chief Of Police are under
arrest charged with treason, and the peace Of
the city is kept by 40 Army Colonel acting as
Provost Marshal The Rebellion is still strong
there. especially among the mercantile aud
wealthy class, has murdered Federal soldiers in
the streets, broken up all connection with the
North BY Railroad or Telegraph. md for time
kent the City OF Washington virtually in a
state Of siege. Nobody doubts that any decided
success Of JEFF. Davis's arms, but especially any
advance into Maryland, would be seconded by a
desperate rising in Batmore--or certainly would
hive been had not the control Of her Police been
wrested from Rebel hands.
Yet 10 that City Of Baltimore are published
at least three daily journals that constantly and
openly assail the Government and manifest in-
tense sympathy with the Rebels. Two OF them
are able and subtle, and oil three as bitter as
need be. The President Of the United States is
constantly assailed ia their columns in terms
which imply contempt us well as hatred No
act is omitted, 10 art untred, calculated to eIs
borrau and prejndce the Government and give
aid and comfort to Treason.
We rejoice in the contrast thus presented ana
trust il may continue. As God divided the light
from the darkness so let them stand IN contrast
forever. Oars is the side of Freedom, and 1t
does not represS hostile criticism, for it has no
need TO fear it, Theirs is the cause OF DesPotlsn,
and the means must conform to the end.
