.ryrannyv North "a south.


We have now practically, in this country,
what may be considered two rival Govern
ments-the old Union and the new one;
and without recognizing the right of the
latter to legal existence, it is curious to
contrast their wonderful difference in the
only point which could give reasonable
excuse for the disseyerance oftbe nation
We allude to the pretext that the Federal
9 5vernment is, or possibly may be, unjust
and tyrannical in its treatment of the "Con-
federate States" No one who stops to
inquire for moment how our National
Government has acted toward the Cotton
States since the Secession movement com
menced, on the one hand, and how the
leaders of that movement, on the other,
have acted toward the people over whose
destinies they have assumed complete con
troll, can fail to be deeply impressed with
the forbearance, gentleness, and liberality
Of the former and the tyranny, oppression,
and disregard of the Interests, wishes, and
feelings Of a large minority, Of the latter.
He who, in the seeding States, attempts
to rebel against their selfconstituted lead
ers. to earnestly demonstrate against their
hast, and infamous conduct, or to refuse
implicit obedience to their exacting DEGREES,
may consider himself fortunate if a drum
head oourt-martial does not speedily order
him to be killed, or Secession mob hang
him up without trial, upon the nearest tree.
Coercion of the worst kind marks every
step of the progress of the Southern Con
federacy. Gaining little color of author
ity at the outset, by the votes of deluded
people, at time when their passions were
artfullv inhamed, and their sober judgments
led astray or sienced bv intimidation, step
by step the citizens are being bound hand
and foot; and without fair chance Of ex-
pressing their wises, or, indeed, of fully
compromising the measures OF those who
assume 10 be their masters, radical political
changes are made as rapidly as Govern
ments were destroyed and constructed IN
revolutionary France, before the advent of
the great Napoleon, while $, stem Of ter
rorism akin to that of Robespiere, Danton,
and Marat is reported to sti1e the popular
voice, and to suppress criticism and oppo-
sition. Yet thsre are the men-with their
hands reeking with the guilt Of a spoliation
of the revenues and the public property of
our Government. their consciences scared
with the crime OF siolathg their solemn
oaths to support it, and their whole move
ment based upon the most shameless and
reckless disregard Of the wishes and senti-
ments of large portion Of the people they
assume to control that was ever witnessed
in republican country-that start the
cry Of tyranny against our own lenient
and benefcent Federal Government, and
denounce even the slightest attempt TO en-
force its unquestionable legal rights and
powers as terrible species Of despnt;snl.

From Caiifornia-The Death Of

SAN FRASCfsCO, Oct %, 1861
The announcement Of the completion of the tele.
graph at o'clock last evening sent thrill of joy
through the community. Preparations for firing a
salute, and other demonstrations in honor OF the
event, were in readiness, when the dispatch from
the East announced the death of Col. Baker, whom
almost every citizen here regarded as a personal
friend. Universal joy was thus changed to sorrow,
and the celebration postponed.
