OF all the wees, hypocrisy is the most detest
able. because with its covert deceit or its open
lying is mingled the most abect cowardice. II
has the malice of villai y without the courage
that preserves it from contempt, and it's evil de-
signs it covers up with the garb of friendship OF
piety. Such we have always esteemed The
Journal of Commerce.. While pretending to e1'
trema sanctimony, and Wanting 10 itself
holiness far above the common. place virtue Of
its neiphbors. it has been distinguished for its
interruptions dishonesty in its treatment of political
afIairs and for the most utter disregard of truth
in dealing with political opponents. We need go
no further back than yesterday for evidence OF
tho charges We bring against it. Its wicked and
false spirit even its fears could not prevent 1t
from showing in the morning paper, though still
under the pretense of patriotism, while prao-
teal display of pretended patriotism and its by
pocrisy was given later in the day, when with
most ludcrous haste it ran up the American
flag at the bidding Of mob. One can hardly
help feeling sort Of pity for ones fellow crea-
lures when their necessities and dispositions re-
duce them to such abject exhibitions.
Tie Journal of yesterday morning reiterates
the falsehood that this war is one created by the
present Administration. The lie is bold one
even for that INSCRIPTIONS paper, and hardly
shows its usual cunning. 1t should have waited
at least till some new and startling event had
drawn mems minds from the contemplation OF
the fact, that war had. within week. been
opened by IN attack of the rebels in and about
Charleston upon a fort occupied by United
States garrison, and that that fort had been re-
duced BY this onslaught OF an army of lO.OOo
men upon a handful of half starved soldiers mum
boring only 100. And this attack was utterly
unprovoked except by q notice from the Admin
isiration at Washington that IT desired to Iced
that garrison. The Dispatch announcing this
was intercepted by The Journals friends. and
Major Anderson was sent, instead of bread aud
meat. hot shot and shells And with such facts
az these still fresh in mems minds, when not
even time has been allowed to those poor be-
eaguered men to reach this port, The Journal
daros to accuse Nr. Lincoln aud his Cabinet OF
having decided In favor of war At any rate,
among the happy results OF the struggle, now
that it has come, We may rejoice that the spirit
of patriotism has opened the eyes of the people
to the character OF such papers % The Journal
Of Commsroe.

The Herald characterizes the reports which
appeared in the journals Of Tuesday, in regard
to the striking demonstration Of popular dis
favor with which it was visited on the day
previous, as false, mean, and malicious. SO far
as TIE TRIBUNE is concerned, we have only to
say that every word which We stated is literally
true We abstnined from mentioning in our
issue of Monday that The Herah expected an
attack GA Sunday night, and that police force
was kept in reserve in the downtown stations,
ready to protect it if necessary, lest by so dong
the threatened attack might be precpitated.
But on Monday the popular manifestation was so
broad and uDmistakable that we could not, as
chronclers of the times. ignore it. It's effect
upon The Herald was made strikiDgly manifest
in it's tone next day, and yesterday 1T went so
far nc to say: " In regard TO the display OF the
" American flag, no one asked us to do so. IL
Z" was unnecessary to take that trouble. The
GLORIOUS flag of the Union is our flag, aud
Z" long may it wave" II was perhaps unIortu-
nate for The Herald that when the people
gathered and demanded the raising OF the Amer
can flag it was obliged to send out and purchase
a supply, having day or two before, in antci-
patton of very different feeling among the
people, provided itself with set Of Secession

importing thu laws sreeuting them. be is clearly
sworn to that; II you don't mean this it is no
matter whether you mean anything or nothing.
And. as that same Artic,.:s begins by saying 1.-THE
Executive power mot a part of i'll shall be
" vested in President of the United States, q"
we cannot imagine what our correspondent would
be driving at. We hold distinctly rus position:
that the President is expressly charged with the
duty of maintaining the Union aud enforcing tue
laws, and that no has no right to shrink IRON
the discharge of this duty. National Con'en'
ton may possibly have power to dissolve thS
Union or iegaze its ACKNOWLEDGMENT; but neither
the President nor Congress has any such right.
They must obey and uphold the Constitution as
they find it, When, therefore, the Secesslonlsts
ask, "Why don't you let us go peaceally ~
the most obvious answer is-Becausc tbe Consti.
tuition gives no one poteer to do it, while it en-
pre,sly imposes on the President solemn obi
cation TO uphold the Union and enforce the laws
