The following is from the New York
Tribune:

eyes o. mothers and The rags Of children. 1t is
little enough the slaves will do when mas
tiers are at the wars, and TO be idle and
wasteful is the least harmful thing in
which they are likely to engage them
selves"
The following is from the Cincinnati
Press paper which has steadfastly OPP
posed Northern fanaticism, and is now
only stating a .fact as a fact
"The South is little aware of the fire
which it has kindlcd in the North. If
the South has undergone a revolution,
time will show that the North has under
| SOHc oilc Hl>O-tNiiHllN NHNt cuull-
| ly inimical to future unity and tranquil
ty. They who mix much with the people
can not but have remarked that so far as
the North at least is concerned the North
and the South are drifting away from
each other with fearful rapidity. The old
Technology and modes of expression re-
main: but they are borrowing new and
less pacific meanings. Men who, few
weeks ago were clamorous for concession
and compromise, who raised their voices
in favor OF peace, at any sacrifice, and
whose solictude for the permancncy of
Southern institutions" would have re-
| freshed the heart of the most ultra slave
ry propaganda, now pledge themselves
to 1.-The support of the Union at all haz-
ards and in all Notwithstanding by
this the approval OF any measures to pun
ish the South for its arrogance, and any
disturbance of its domestic relations
which shall be necessary to force it to
keep the peace in the future.
The North is becoming abolitionized:
not the right-thinking men, but the half
thinking ones who constitute the MAORI
ty, and represent that degree of political
wisdom which Governments carry into
effect. The reasoning which leads these
men to that condition of mind is short,
and, to them, conclusive. Slavery, say
they, has been the cause of all the politi-
cal agitations which we have experience
ed. 1t mas pcrpetually threatened to di-
vide the nation and kindle the torch of
civil war between the discovered sections,
and kept us in continual fear that its
threats would be accomplished. 1t has
alienated one body of the people of the
nation from another, been the means of
| ;,,a i.t,,
who, at our expense, have lorded it over
us and who have, at length, to so high a
pitch has their arrogance arisen, attempt
ed by violent means to reduce us TO sub
lection. If slavery had not existed these
things would not have happened; there
fore slavery must cease to exist and it is
the mission of the North to bring it to
an end"
a few days ago significant convoca-
ton was held at Cleveland, Ohio. 1t con-
sisted of the following persons: Governor
Dennison of Ohio, Governor Curtin of
Pennsylvania, Governor Randall of Wis
consn, Governor Blair of Michigan, and
Governor Morton of Indiana. Governor
Morgan of New York represented by
Hon. John Bigelow, and Governor Yates
of Illinois by Ex-Governor Augustus Koer-
ner. These functonaries were assembled
to consider of the best mode of asserting
tho supremacy Of the abolition power, un-
der the guise of sustaining the American
flag, whose stars have been appropriated
by the North, and the "stripes" attempt
ed to be imposed upon the South. Dur
ing their neiarious sitting, they were sere-
naded and several of them made speech
| es.
Gov. Denison said: Gle was thankful
for this expression of interest and assur-
ed them that his heart was with them in
these troublous times. The time for
speaking had passed, aad the time for ac-
ton had come, and he would use all the
power in his hands to maintain the honor
of the American flag He said to them in
the name of Ohio that rebellion shall be
put down, treason shall be crushed out,
let come what will" Immense applause. I
Governor Randall, said:
Fellow Citizens of Ohio: az thank
you for the honor you have conferred up
on me, and upon the State which repre-
sent, by thus calling me out. We have
been in the habit of saying that the
strength Of the Government was in the
ten thousand chords which bind together
the people Of our land but now tins is
oil changed, and without fault of ours
Rebellion and treason are abroad in our
land. We know where this commenced,
and we know, too, where it must end
There is but one course for us to pursue,
and that should be followed We should
transport an army down the Mississippi
and blaze broad track through the whole
South, from Montgomery to Charleston.
Loud cheers. Charleston should be
RACED till not one stone is left upon an
| other till there is no nlace left for fin n
