me Democracy II IAs Free States.

It's very common at the present time for the
Southern papers In the interest Of their rebel-
lion TO charge Northern Democrats, formerly
the eteddfast f,iepds Of The South. and still the
defsndsrs Of the Constitutional iighls Of every
section, Win iIosnsialsucy. bslfaysr Of conf
deucs, Snd SdepArtoss from the faith offormer
days. In noticing this fact, the New York
Rpsaiss Poet, a. Republican journal. has some
remarks which We copy below. 1t Is not our
habit TO copy from an optobsnt . vindicatlon
or defence Of the position Of our party, and We
would not do Il In this Instance, but for the;facl
that, thereby, NO. offer evidence Of the most
conclusive character, and from source very
high in the Republican ranks. that the De-
mocracy have always been attached to the Union
and have regarded Il tas the palladium Of our Con-
stitutlon and Liberty, and the bulwsfk Of oui
peace, safety and prosperity. The sentiment
lof reverence for the Union, peculiar to the Dem
oerats Of the Free States, 10 not the result o.
fear produced in the way suggested BY the
Evening Post. or Of . Southern political educa-
ton, but necessarily arises from their conviction
Of the indispensable necessity for that Union,
under which we have grown 90 wonderfully as
people, and their sense Of justice to all sections
| The danger to the Union, which Democrats
have apprshsnded, and which they have time
and again predicted, II sectional agitation was
not rebuked, has caused 10 their minds fear and
apprehension, and hence they have made Her.
culean Efforts and untold sacrifices, to quell the
angry strife and put down agitation; but all their
efforts and sacrifices having failed, and all
prospects ofs peaceful solution Of our national
difficulties being stan end, the Democrats &C
cept the terrible alternative, and now throw
their united influence into the scale to put down
rebellion by force. We must not, however,
extend our remarks further, as we have not the
space to spare, but here introduce portion Of
the article from the EDenils Post:

The southern leaders have always insisted much upon

Signs Of Treason.

The Journal Of yesterday morning quotes
with commendation an article from the Cinoin.
nail Pssss, which concludes with these words
"They Northern consplraton] talk Of the dangers
losses and expenses to which The North has been subjected
through Its rejection Of the compromises denoupce Tho
President for having in calling forth troops exceeds
hs constitutional authority; and endeavor TO create
papics by Iepresenting that England and France
sisns BY which ths traor. r. Tor among sy bs inoen.
One Of the signs. then, according to the Prssi
and the Journal, by which Northern traitor
may be known, Is that he "endeavors to create
panics by representing that England and France
are abou. to interfere in our controversy" Bot
in the very same paper In which the above quo.
ration from the Press Is printed and praised, the
Journal has leading editorial which opens
thus: t-a
70 draw encouragement from the present tone Of Englsh
feeling toward America Neither 10 the Parliament, nor
10 the public Journals Of the EDgsh people. % any
but whatever aid and comfort can given to the Con.
federate States by the English press 10 the way Of dis
panrIng eonnen, aud unfrendy prophecies a. %
sufe q the Union, n very ehee'fay given. g -'.q
The Journal goes on 10 this strain ia an ar,
ticle Of considerable length, In which Il makes
long extracts from the London Times to sustain
its reasonable position that neither ia the Par.
lament, nor In the public journals Of the Eng
lish people. is any sympathy with the American
government manifested" The general tenor of
the Journals extracts from the Times, and Its
oommenis thereon, i to show that England is
probably bent, to use iss own language, on ''glv,
ing aid and comfort 10 ths Insurgents in THE
country 4. i''ti W O .po,sI
The Journal may bo right in its conclusions
as to the position Of England toward this ooun-
Try, though We think Il rather hasty in drawing
IL infsrenees. Bat the serious aspect Of the
caso Il, that the PRONUNCIATION Of such sena-
ments, In regard 70 the intentions Of she Eng
lish Government, fixes upon shs Journal 90.
coriing 70 lie own authority and that Of the !
