Who are the Disturbersf

Every Democratic editor who dares to
question any ac. of the Administration
or the party in power, is forthwith arraign-
ed as a common disturber and sympa-
thiser with secession, and pointed out to
the mob or secret vigilance committee as
. proper subject to "spot" The Repu5-
lican press on the other hand. may taunt
and insult Democrats, freely discuss party
topics, and openly advocate revolutionary
measures tending to the overthrow of the
Constitution, and superceding the Presi-
dent" with impunity. The moment
jsDemocrat opens his mouth to utter party
sen ntiment, he is either promptly knock
ed down "-as the newspaper reporters
say-or Indignantly reminded that there
is "no party in this war p" all who
are not for the Administration are against
the Government" To show how these
pretences are justified by acts, we need
only point to the fact that through all our
present nationa. troubles the hand of party
prescription has not been stayed for mo-
ment by the Administration the political
guilotine is kept at work night and day at
Washington, decapitatiDg Democrats, and
the monies contributed oy patriotism to
support the Government against aggres>
sve war, is squandered upon partizan job
bers.
To show how no party" faith is OBJ
served towards Democrats, we copy indis-
criminately from a pile of exchanges before
US the following expressions of the Repub.
Hcan press-all recognized and influential
organs of their party.
The Dover, New Hampshire, Inquirer
says:
"The Southern troitors never would
have dared to make war upon the Union,
hid it not been for the aid ard comfort
achich they have received from the North
ern Democracy. These Democratic lead
ers have a fearful account to settle for
their part in this business, and it is un
douttedIy true that many Of them who
are now so rampant 'Jor wip;ng out the
South" and who are even complaining of
heIAdministration for the tenderness with
which it is dealing with the traitors, are
still Nth them at heart, and only take the
course Which they do through fear Of the
consequence.

opportunity, and should reverses occur to
the arms Of the Union, or anythinge else
turn up which may give them chance 20
play into the hands of their old friends,
they will be ready to do it. Such men
are known, and Will not be trusted. No
profession which they can now make will
be of any avail"
The Boston Atlas and Bee, the leading
Administration paper in New England,
says;
"The meaning of this fight is the doom
of slavery, and the sooner the government.
acts upon this idea, the less will be the
carnage.
The Hartford Press, the State ergan
of the Republicans in Connecticut, says:
1t is mistake to say that the Con-
federate States are in rebellion against the
government. The slavery in them is in
rebellion against republicanism and it is
the s3auery in them, and not the States,
that is to be sutjugated."
The N. Y. Times, which is regarded as
the special organ of Mr.. SEWARD, in New
York, makes the following pacific sugges>
tions
"Like Popery, slavery is incompatible
with the spirit of the age, or, in other
words, with liberty and civilization
Their progress is at an end, and fate or
Providence seems to have doomed then,
to speedy destruction, by the folly of
their devotees.
Last and least, the Mineral Point Trii
bune, of our own State, invites the loyal
Union men of the South, and the Demo
cracy of the North to this entertainment
"Should they again desire the shield
of the wings Of the American eagle-the
pTOtcCllO0 OF tilo american 0aO-aS we
have no doubt they will before the close
of the war, the term. will be such as to
settle forever the question of American
slavery. The time for compromise has
passed. The irrepressible conflict" will
cease to existwhen the question of negro
slavery is settled and not Till then. On
this point al! now agree; and the close
of the present conflict will fix the time
for the emancipation of every slave in the
land.
1--WE believe we but echo the senti>
ment of the entire North and many loyal
sons Of the South, when we say, make no
compromise with traitors except at the
end of hempen cord settle forever the
question Of chattle slavery, and make our
nation nation of freedom
These are but few specimens Of the
pervading sentiments and declarations of
the Republican party and yet these same
papers have the impudence to demand of
