Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1861-03-22

The BALTIMORE Sun, to-day, moderates the
wrath Of Its treachery, and ventures upon the see
Of much calmer discussion than usual with II oil
late. II essays TO consider the question Of "Our
troubles" in something of the spirit which char
ecterized It's columns when Ii enjoyed the conf.
dence Of those in this region who have some
thing to lose by the existence Of the state OF
anarchy IL has Of late sought so vehemently to
bring upon It's neighbors and patrons. II argues
that "Our troubles" arise from ''the assertion by
the Republican party Of a rule with regard to the
Territories Inconsistent with the decision Of the
Supreme Court in the bred Scott case"
Were this true, In view Of the factt that the South
have now positively nothing whatever practical
and substantial in issue in the Territories and of
the further fact that the South will not have a
negro to spare for hundred years, to be taken
Into any existing L. s. Territories, we should look
for avery speedy settlement of sour troubles ~ In
the judgment Of all friends Of the Union, as well
as according TO the proclamations Of the leaders
Of disunion in the recusant states, however, our
troubles have a very different origin, indeed
They attribute them to the persistent labors of
disunion politicians for thirty years past to accom-
Plish just what has been accomplished-for the
sake Of destroying the Union. They have at
length been able to accomplish their end only by
momentarily Grazing the people Of the seeded
States TO extent which afforded the conspirators
an opportunity robbing them their distinctive
American liberties, which they continue TO with
hold from them unce: various firnsy pretexts by
the threats OF the presses under their CONTROL and
oy the arms Of the mobs that stand everywhere
ready 10 execute summary vengeance on all who
dare clamor for restoration Of their rights as In
dividuals enjoyed under the Government Of the
United States. Thus have "our troubles" ORR
ginated, and only thus.
The Baltimore Sra need give itself no pre-
tended uneasiness whatever relative to the policy
towards the recusant States which the Admins
Uation will pursue-so far the question Of war
and peace 10 concerned. II will take much to
make It's constant readers believe that It Is not as
earnestly anxious the Charleston lsycxrv
itself, that tbs Administrators policy in that
Connection shall be directly the reverse Of what
al now realize IL 70 be-the policy Of letting them
alone, severely.
"War In the Southern (seceded) States, will
come, however, very soon, though not as the Sun
would have 1, come-between the General Gov.
eminent and the authority Of the oligarchy; but
between the latter, and the masses whose liberties
they have struck down, and on whom they are
now seeking to fasten the shsckles Of Glars infer-
GRITTY, they have been forging for them for thirty
years past.
The illegitimats excitement of secession is fast
dying away In tbs South, and In place Of II there
u arising Legitimate excitement over the tenfold
taxation to be endured In payment for the whistle
Of the revolutionary attempt to reduce the masses
In all the seeded States industrially, socially.
and Intellectually, to the condition in which the
masses in South Carolina have been kept for half
century for her oligarchy's benent. Also, over
the destruction Of the liberty Of speech the liberty
Of the press, and the destruction of every indus
trial pursuit In thoss States, except the one-plant
Ing with large forces Of negroes-for whose NOM
inal benefit the consprators plotted and plundered
This legitimate excitement is rapidly coming to
Ia proper dsaoxsnssst.
The Administration here evidently realize that
their policy is but to keep hands of our troubles,
relying upon the sober second thought Of the de-
osived. maltreated, robbed, and 90 suddenly en-
slaved masses In the seeded States, to vindica,e
shortly the blood Of American freemen tina,
courses la their veins.
