TO THE RREACR!

Freemen of the North! Peace-loving and law
abiding citizens Of our country Ye who stand
upon the glorious platform of "the Union, the
Constitution and the Enforcement of the Laws, "
and who have borne and forborne with traitors
in arms against them, until forbearance has
ceased to be a virtue, the crisis is now upon
you The Fort upon whose defense your
hearts were set with an intense and all-absOrb-
ing enthusiasm, has been surrendered to traitors,
and the flag "of beauty and of glory" at the
sight of which every true Americans heart
swells with Tridc, has been dishonored. 1t has
been struck to those whose sworn duty it was to
uphold it against foreign and domestic enemies.
Is there man worthy the name of an Ameri-
can whose soul does not burn with Indignation
deep at this insult to that sacred emblem which
he has been taught to love and honor?
This damnng blot upon our national es-
cutcheon must be wiped out Treason must
lie crushed with the strong urn of this Govern
ment, and the majesty of the laws yndicatcd il
need be, by million of men, at the point ofthc
bayon aud at the cannon's mouth The time
f,r aIreal. for argument, for concliation, has
gone with the surrender of Sumter! Let the
tocsin now sound, and from every hill and val.
ley, from lake and river from mountain and
prairie, throughout all the loyal and true States
let patriots rally to the call of their county
resolved that this stain upon our flag shall be
atoned for, that the supremacy of this UniOl
sha1 be maintained and its laws sha2 be en-,
forced, be the consequences what they may. We
be to those who shall attempt to Withstand the
tempest of a nations wrath .--Ci,,cinnd6 Gaz.

PAY Your SMALL DEBTs.--Ths is good advice,
and there never a time when it is more
solemn duty. When the small debts paid
there is general confidence among home
people, and the wheels of trade move regularly
and easily. Besides. it is the small debts which
control all the big ones. and which mnst materially
affect trade. None paying to enemies, but
all should make special effort to pay their small
debts to their friends ffor no other than that
itdiuses good spirits, gives confidence and greases
he wheels of trade all which are necessary and
indispensable at the present time. Let all pay up,
and all will feel better and thus promote the com
mon veal. Pay up, but especially pay all small
debts.
