The DAILY News SUsPENDED.--We are grail
fed to announce to the public that the Hon.
Ben. Woods disreputable and Improbable
peace organ, the Daily Ne,os, has given up the
ghost. 1t was all wrong, couldn't get right,
and public opinion was too strong for 1t. 1t
has died and made no sign, and doubtless that
other mysterious secession peace organ, the
Day Book, will soon go the same way. The
Journal Of Commerce, having got rid of its old
hidebound and bigoted Puritanical cotton pa
triot, Hallock, is now getting away from the
breakers of treason, and is learning as well as
could be expected how to "keep step to the
music of the Union" But this is not sufficient
The unity of the Union cause demands some
thing more than the suppression of Northern
peace newspapers of secession proclivities. Our
abolition journals are ding much mischief. The
Anti-Slaue,y Standard for instance, down to its
latest issue, advocates war policy in violation
of the constitution and laws of the United
States and the Independent is doing the same
thing, while the Tribune and Times are steadily
drifting in the same direction. For the sake of
harmony among our people all these rampant
abolition organs should be held to the stern
necessities of the war, or they should be
sienced.

must be held in check by the strong arm of the

get up dangerous and disorganizing agitation
in the North on this very question of emanclpa-

years have been the most useful allies to the
secession conspiracy, which has ripened in'o
this Southern rebellion. they should now be
vgilantly watched and severely punished IN all
their movements calculated to weaken the go
