The Two Principal Inccndiary Journals

Law.
Our contemporary, the Tribune, is at its old
tricks again. The warning it received less
than month ago, from the general copdemna-
ton by the public of its bogus Washington
dispatches seems to have taught it no perma-
nent lessons. The Jacobn incendiaries of that
journal can no more give over rcsorting, to fc-
titiOus letters, manufactured in their own Office
to produce an ephemeral sensation, than a con-
firmed topper can abandon the use of alcoholic
drinks. False letters from Kansas succeeded
the SlievegammOn iabricatiOns; and u series of
the most monstrOus epistOlary inventions that
ever were palmcd off on credulous abolition
readers preceded, for several weeks the bonn
bardment of Fort Sumter. The latest of its
lodges and perhaps not the least dangerous, is
to be found in pretended letters from North
Carolina, Kentucky and the District Of CO.
lumbia, in its issues of yesterday and the day
previous They tend directly towards the Sc
paration of the Union into two republics, and
are as pernicious as the diurnal diatribes of the
is that the latter paper advocates openly what
the former works for covertly.
The especial correspondent" of the Tribune
from Gatesvlle, North Carolina, has got
hold of confidential "Belshazzar'' who
sees "handwritings upon the wall''-not
an extraordinary phenomenon in fits of
both physical and political delirium! The said
Belshazzar, safely ensconced from harm at
his desk in Spruce street, affects, with the in
tegrity of Mesmerite medium, to hear 'sof rt,-
mors of slave instruction, all the way south
ward-in South Carolina and Alabama--and
believes that the whole Southern fabric is I'M
derlaid by subterranean fires that may blaze
forth ruinously at any moment The slave
owners, says the pseudo-correspondent ''trem-
BILE in their Shoes" and " Drunkenness con-
cubinage," and cruelty vie with each other
in expressing "with horse and
buggy"-for the letter writer does not name
any other victim in his specifications of bru-
tality. All this is poured forth with the same
old sonorous Tribune fervor, which has always
distinguished its highest horse attempts at gull
ing, dementing, and misleading the public. 1t
means just what the Ne,es does when it pitches
into the administration for carrying on war to
suppress rebellion, and its "cry of horror in
the ears of abOlitiOnists has precisely the same
effect as the Indignant denuncations' of Mr.
Lincoln 'satrocities in the columns of the axowed
secession paper
We respectfully warm both the Tribune and
the Neos that these things will not do. The
people are in dead, serious earnest in their at
tempts to re-establish the Union upon consti-
tutional basis They will not be diverted from
their object by either sunderland abolition sepa-
rationsm, OF by secession undisguiscd The
talk about slave instructions, in which the
Jacobins of the Tribune indulge, through
the reflected medium of false CORES
pondence, is INDUSTRIOUS and absurd. There
never was q period when the slaves Of the
South were so quiescent, so well treated, and
so little disposed to rebellion against their
masters. Surrounded by soldiers. with every
town aud hamlet excited by the din of arms,
they could not revolt against their owners
were the provocation never so great. Should
they do so, their rashness would be deplored
and condemned by every good citizen North
and South. On the other hand the assertions
of the Ne,cs-so assiduously promulgated that
every measure of the government is "a high
handed act of usurpaton," and that justice de-
mands that the seeded States should be permitted
to stand aloof from the rest, find no response in
the popular heart Both papers must be taught
u lesson, and the sooner it Is begun the better.
General Banks has proclaimed martial law
in Maryland, and General Fremont has followed
his example in Missouri Newspapers have been
summarily suppressed in st. Louis for promul-
eating doctrines not half so dangerous as daily
appear in the Tribune and Ne,rs. 1t would be
well for the government to organize thoroughly
the military force in this State, and to proclaim
martial law here and its first step should be to
suppress these two organs of secession, and
separation which are endeavoriHg 10 do SO
/ much harm.
