WHO SYMPATHIZE WITH THE SOUTH

There is no person at the North who loves
hls country and his flag, that sympathizes with
treason or rebellion. Secession has had few,
If any, advocates or apologists bere. There
are certain journals which have been studious-
ly represented as conniVing at secession, but
which nevertheless, have vigorously opposed it
from the first. They have warned, advised,
and expostulated with the South, against any
such suicidal step, for they deemed the Union
paramount TO everything else. There are those
here who have been charged as sympathizing
WITH the South, becau Sc, deprecating civil
war-and such a civil war as can only be fought
by Americans-they have earnestly advocated
policy of peace, concllat;on, mutual concess-
ion, in hope that the integrity of the Union
might be preserved thereby. But if hope IS
extinguished and if civil war has become the
only alternative, there is but one course to be
pursued. Our firesides are here; our flag, our
country, our government, are here; and it is our
duty land we accept it as such,) to protect
those freside8, to defend that flag, and sustain
that Government.
We have prayed that this cup of bitterness
might never be filled. We hoped that our
Southern brethren might either be brought back
TO their former voluntary position in the Union
OF else be. permitted togo in peace. Rather thar
civil war, we would have had those who chafec
under the rule of the U. S. Government, recog
nized as an independent Contederacy,yet living
in amity, aud allied to US by all those interests
which have bound US hitherto. But another
destiny seems to await us. At all events. We
are vigorously preparing for war. and must con
tinue to prepare for it. True, the South ha
not yet invaded the free States at any point
J There have been rumors of an attack upoI

The Cabinet was in session until late hour

morning the scene at the War Department
was quite exciting. The mastering is still
going on and according to official accounts,
a quarter of a million Of soldiers have been
already offered to government in support Of
the Union.
The government has received adyices from
England and France, stating that the Con
Tolerate government would not be recognized,
unless first by the United States. Letters
from monied men Of Europe say they have no
sympathy with the South and no confdonc,

A SCENE AT THE WHITE lToUsE.--
New York Heraids correspondent says that
while Senator Baker OF Oregon, was at the
White House, Saturday morning, by Presi-
dent Lincoln's invitation to breakfast, a large
number Of Californians called to discuss their
state appointments to office. Mr.. Lincoln re-
ceived them with Senator Baker by his side
One Of them presented protest against Mr.
Baker having anything TO say in regard to the
California appointments. Mr. Simonton, edi-
tor Of the San Francisco Bulletin read an ad-
dress, rejecting severely on Mr.. Baker and
his friends, and using disrespectlul language
towards the president. Mr.. Lincoln took the
manuscript, crushed it in his hand, and threw
il into the fire then turning to the Califor-
mans, he said Z" | will destroy this in the
presence Of the parties who brought it. The
protest is more respectful, aud that ! will file
for consideration. Col. Baker have known

attack upon him is unjust, and not borne out
by the facts lie then minated to the pro
testants that they could 60.

Eleventh Annual Fair Of the Vermont State
Agricultural Society, will be held at Rutland,
on the 10th, 18th, 10Th and 18th days Of
September. Rutland has heretofore proved
to be one of the best towns in the State for a
successful exhibition, and with the increased
facilities furnished by its new fair ground,
and under the energetic administration ofGen.
Baxter, we confidently predict an exhibition
that will surpass all its predecessors. The
Hon. Cassius NJ. Clay, of Kentucky, had ac-
cepted an invitation to deliver the annual adj
dress, but his subsequent acceptance OF dip

him from meeting his engagement. We should
