1.-THE CRIME OF THE AGE.,,
The republican will excuse us or using
its own words in rebdking the atrocious
crime perpetrated by its own party and
allies. the secessionistslsf he Dpsth. The
greatest trial ever committed II humanity,
was the Republican and tedsrAtlye form Of
free government, secured ~ union Of sep.
crate and equal States under ono cons.itu-
tion, and the abuse or violation oftllat "lrast
is Of necessity the preparation Of great
crime. Men who aspire to influential and
leading positions in the nation, and BY fair
speeches and loud protestations Of patriotic
devotion 10 the national good, 50 Tar gain the
public confidence as TO give, direction % the
popular mind, and then abuse and betray
that confidence Tor purposes Of personal as
srandizement. or private revenge sacrificing
the general welfare 10 their own selfish ends
incur the guilt Of q crime from which any
common william might justly turn away
with sickenins disgust. No common foospad
or private assassin, no pirate or horse thief
brca'hs so foul q breath or pollu:es the Cir
with SO loathsome an effluvia, as the despi-
cable ,niscrcants to whom We refer.
ut has bcc. the calamity Of the world and
the rcproach Of humanity, that At various
riods-:intcryals sometimes long and
sometimes shortcr--thcre have come upon
the surface Of soci.ty, classes Of men, fitted
both by nature anil education, for the per-
formance Of deeds Of the protoundest mean
ness and the broadest villainy They present
tho eliminating points Of national wicked
ness; they fell upon the world IS the plaques
fell. upon Egypt, involving alike in the con.
sequences Of their wickedness the innocent
and the gritty, spreading at once the poison
Of their prime pies and tho curse Of their
example most whers they are least under
Stood"
Such are the abolitionists Of the country;
they justify their disgusting conspiracy 70
overthrow law BY multiplying the decisiioas
oecourts, and subvert the governnek b.
6rays against the pe1ceable siielall
zens Of neighboring States, under tho tanat-
ical pretonse Of loving freedom. Tl.ey in
yolye all in common ruin, because they ars to-
ignorant or blipded TO know tho chanctse. Of
the evils thsy q ~
they .advocate.
By the spccious justice Of their .dognaa,
viewed as abstract propositions unmindaal
Of the history Of the world, o. Of this Re-
public and its constitution, they have literally
poiso: ed the public mind and educated mon
to degree Of bloody HgOtry, fitly illustrs.
ted by the cruel prosecutions Of the reigns Of
Mary and Exzebcth Of England.

tude compared with tho inch Win, Is ID
vance their private ends, seek to ps1ngis ths
nation into confusion and blood? Languages

Not having any pcnoft the kind required !,
we take the liberty Of using our neighbor's
in order to do adequate justice 70 the men
who would convulse the country ia civil
war with untold horrors. to punish a.p%ople
that th,y.lave no business to interfere with;
and for o purpose 90 meddlesome, aggressive
and impairment, thatit deseaeps more u ,he
cowardice af tho assas>in than the cnusaee
ofthe citizen in defence Of . right. i':ss,
Our ncislbor has drawn the picture, and
we have filed in the characters, and We
submit to intelligent men-and We hope T.
to class our neighbor with these hut With.
q particle. Of patriotism LEFT, il il is net wiser
to moderate the heat Of prejudice within
the circle Of our naucnce, than 70 increase
and Intensity it. Is it not better TO- lecture
the men who we have within tie hearing of
our voices, than to rail out maledictions
against those far distant It IS not quite q
brave, aud FAR moro honest and effective
We advise our neighbor to go. South aud do
his brave talking to the persons he delights
TO abuse. He may modify his view, i little
in that locality. H. = 's.. ! ~ 'N' ~ ), y. &
