The LONELINESS Gf Harmony
since the outbreak of this Southern rebellion we
nave not neglected the duty of marking and expos-
ing the disnrganizing schemes and movements of
me radica abolition wing OF the Republican party,
" have shown that the bloody instructions of the
N N {" ofk Tribune, the sueakng iocendiarism of
the Times, and the undiluted aboitiopism of tho
independent, the Anti-Slqrery Standard, and the
Boston Ltberdtor, all directed to the same OBJ

the tour millions OF slaves of the South by force of
arms; or the adoption of lloyd Garrison's ultima

elements of disorder aud violence in the North and
especially in this city. He is eager for more riots
for more such mobs as compelled him. not long aro
to stop advocating the cause of secession and to
hoist the Union flag. He iuvokes public jndipna-

Jealous in stirring up hate against the Times and
Tribune. OF course he does it BY Iying-by false |
hoods OF the most barefaced and ilnpudent sort /
1t would not be in character for him to tell the

a Censorship for the Press
who is TO be the Judge whether newspaper |
shall be published or not? Who shall determine |
whether the issues Of journal shall be carried |
through the mails? Shall there be a censor of the
press in every locality where newsnaper is nuh. |
shed, or will the Administration appoint some one
to whom every article shall be submitted for ap-
prova before it is published? Must we support |
with hearty good will every measure and act of |
the Administration. whether we think it right !
proper. and judicious not? Such seems to be
the determination of the authorities at Washing
have quoted
Who is TO be the judge when the law is violated |
here, where there is war? Surely not military !

the Administration will not enter upon this course,

side with periis which should make the stoutest |
