The Watchwords of Fanatics

Owe want to see whether we have Gov
srnment :" cries a crazy federal enthusiast. -
Well, you can try the experiment, if you think
It will pay for the amount OF human lives that
YOU will sacrifice in the attempt ifyou think
your curiosity ought to be gratifed at the ex-
Pense of broken hearts, waling'' widows and
pe!ishing orphans. are you a Christian, or
barbarian
'THE GOVERNMENT MUST HOLD THE FEDERAL
PROPERTY !" shrieks another candidate for the
Insane Asylum. Well, if few worthless shells
that can be battered 70 pieces IN few hours.
a few useless Custom Houses that do not pay
the salaries of the officials posted there, are
worth more than the peace, the business and
the lives OF American citizens, drive ahead.
Are you another Don Quixotte2

Applying the Gag.

There are certain journals in the interest Of
the present blind and infatuated Adminisira-
ton that ought to be extirpaled from the soil
of newspaperdom. Among these is that men
dacious and pernicious publication issued un-
der the style and title of the Philadelphia
EUening Bulletin. In its issue of the llth
inst, this organ par excellence of the Philadel-
phia Abolitionists and Republicans, treats its
readers TO an article limiting that freedom of
opinion in regard 10 the unnecessary, unnatu-
raj and unholy war made by Abraham LIN
coin upon the people Of the South, would be
cuIbed and silenced by 'qhe powers that be-"
and that private citizens as well as public
speakers and the newspaper press would be
muzzled against the utuerance of criticisms on
the policy of making such war. What do
the llberty-loving, free and independent c;t-
zens Of Pennsylvania think of doctrine like
this Are we to have another sedition law,
under which our f3refathers suffered IN the
days OF John Adams Is our Government to
be turned into military despotism, and are
the authorities at WashIngton,about to play the
part of The butchers ofthe French Revolution
For'our part though Lincoln, Seward and Chase
may aspire TO rival the infamy of Danton, Ro-
bespierre and Marat, and may erect another
guIllotne TO establish their reign of terror, our
motto shall ever be, as il now is, "FREEDom OF
THoUGHT AND OPINION -

Our voice is still for Peace.

We wish the Government at Washington no
Ill luck in its battle with the South. I, is as
sad and melancholy news to us to hear of the
defeat and slaughter of the u. S. troops as II
can be TO any other American citizen. But
we ask OF the Government at Washington that
1t call upon the men who favored and justified
the making OF this war, when it is in need OF
troops to fight its battles. We are for peace
War cannot settle the difficulties between the
North and the South, Years oil blood NAV
roll away, but the fight will not be ended until
IL is concluded BY treaty Of peace. Why not
make that treaty now! II could have been
done ere this, and can be Done now, If only our
rulers at Washington were not blind to .he in
tefesis OF the country.

The Responsibility.

The Administration journals with the coolest
sang froid imaginable, assert that the fratric-
dal var with the South, was commenced BY
the Southern forces. History will record the
TACT that it was the trickery and chicanery of
Abraham Lincoln that caused The first shot to
De fired. The telegraphic dispatches show
shat while the South were not desirous of blood
shed, the bad faith OF the Government at
Washington Toward the authorities at Mont
gomery, IN sending their spy, Mr.. Fox, under
the guise OF pacific visitor 10 Fort Sumter, to
concoct a plan for the reinforcement OF that
Fort, which they were about TO carry out, in
the lace OF their seml-ofiicial assurances that
they intended to withdraw Maj. Anderson and
his men, caused the attack which has resulted
in the surrender of Fort Sumter We do not
make this statement to defend the conduct of
The SoutherneTs,f ,for we maintain that war like
this, no matter by what party commenced, is
wrong and unnatural but we say let "justice
