The Herald il never at loss either to invent
something. or put something in motion, whereby
It may aid the cause of treason and Secession.
lite natural procl'ity to any sort Of vlainy
lends it sort of preternatural, or rather
mira natural energy on behalf Of the gigaBtic
crime Of JEFF. Davis and his compeers. Through
the Winter and Spring months The Herald
seemingly exhausted itself in IL persistent
efforts, never pretermitted Tor a single day,
fret to bully the North into the adoption OF
the Montgomery Constitution a. a substitute
for, aud an improvement upon the Constitution
Of the United States, and second, on fldipg
that impossible, to frignten the North, and es-
peeialy this city, into q recognition Of JEFF.
Dayiss bastard republic. Warned by mob
that the people would no longer tolerate this
open adhesion % the enemies oC the Union,
The Herald ordered away the Secession flag
that hung draped over the door of the editor
in-cLief bid the set of those colors il had or
dered to adorn the building in celebration Of
the triumph Of treason, and the rising Of the
cOnspirators in this city who were TO hold is
for JEFF Davis, borrowed o United States
flag, hung it out of the window, and there
after chsDged-its tactics.
IL changed is tactics, but not its principles;
and ever since has continued just as firm q
friend Of the traitors as ever, while pretending
to support the UnoH. Ia the Summer, before
any other journal Lad thought even of men,
tioning the subject The Herald filed column
after column, day after day, with q vehement
advocacy of the immediate abolition of Slavery,
only because it believed that to raise such an
issue would draw OF support from the Govern
ment, make the war unpopular, and finally
bring about dishOnorable peace, ard secure
the triumph of treason and disuuion. But this
method Of advancing The cause il has ct heart it
soon abandoned, as It found that the loyal people
of the North were seriously considering whether
the abolition of Slavery must not follow the
advance Of the army into the Rebel States ss
an inevitable military necessity. And from that
time to this moment it has done nothing but
denounce any interference with Slavery, and
endeayor 10 Arouse forgotten prejudice against
Anti. Slavery people, because it knows that tho
Rebels are not utterly without hope so long as
that Internal system, the cause OF this war, as
well ss the root of so much else that is evil,
and the bane Of our prosperity, remains un-
touched.
But so long Us The Herald does nothing but
reason from its owe resources, 1t doesn't much
matter, for. except possibly The Day Book,
i has less influence than any other daily
printed sheet within the compass Of the thirty
Jour States--uuless, indeed. that can be called
which is exercised by the mailing Of
some dirty csrrion bird to an old bsu.door.
But sometimes when it undertakes TO deal with
acts, it is worth while TO expose lite blunders
and lice. Its last thing of this sort is 10 inter-
polate one of its forgeres intO treaty. les

Before the eminent lawyer" if there is
any such person in the case, had sent such
letter to the Secretary of State, or permitted
it to be made public, he would, if be valued
his own reputation, have taken the trouble TO
step into any good-sized library and consult
any History Of Louisiana, and look al the
treaty itself. Article 9TH Of the Treaty Tor the
cesson of that territory to the United States
provides that "as it is recipToCaliy advants-
