The Northern Voice.

We have already published various ex-
tracts from several OF the leading journals OF
the North. going To show that the design and
purpose of the Federal Administration ana
the people of the non-slaveholding States OF
the Union is to overrun and subJugate
the Southern States. We now add an artl-
Gle from the Chicago Journal of the 18TH,
which assumes to speak for the Northwest.
We give it with its own emphasis:
"CoRRECr THAT MIsTAKE.-We see quite a
nnmher of our Southern exchanges are quo
ting our remarks, made "before the war" to
the effect that there was factlon OF NORTH
ern Democrats disposed to sympathize with
the Secessionists-and taking these remarks
for their text clay the flattering JUNCTION to
their .oulsD that there is formidable party
at the Northwest who will, if necessary,
Hoht with and for the SecessioniSts, and
against the Government.
Now we wish to whisper very loud word
or two into the ears of those of our Southern
cotemporaries who have thus deluded them
selves.
A week or two ago, when we penned the
remarks referred to, there was party mere
that did. in a degree, sympathize with the
Seeessionists-but there ls no saich parry mere
nolc.
And let US assure ell our southern cotem-
Dorsries. and all the Southern people, that
since the rash and uDjustifable assault upon
the Government by the Secessionists, when
Fort Sumter was fired upon and Its garrison
forced to surrender, for no otner reason Dut
because the Government proposed to provide
the garrison with food enough to keep them
from starving TO death, there Is only one party
and one feeling among the people Of the hoTth-
Wea-and that party and that feeling IS una IN
fapor of calling TO an account the TdtdTs fcho
hare committed the outrage upon the american
flag. .o,,;,,o, o
policy of peace, of compromise, OF concllla-
ton or concession, has been swallowed up Id
the one general and all-pervadlng impulse OF
war, by traitors, against the GoVerhinen'.
we know not of one man-not one-in the
whole North West, who ls not now heartlly
and resoiuteIy in favor of maintaining the
Government and the Union, and crushlng
out, at all hazards, the presumptuous and
wicked rebels at the South"
From all quarters Of the non-slaveholdlng
States the cry comes up, in substance and
effect. "erllsh cut the rebels al all hazards" We
hear no dissenting voice. Cancellation, COM
promise, concession have died upon Northern
Iips. No hand holds out the flag OF peace.
Every avenue of hope seems doubly closed
and every tongue reiterates the cry of " vim
dictate the powers of the Government, and
crush out the rebels at all hazards" For
reasons often heretofore stated and urged we
have opposed this war of subjugation, but
we are now left no alternative but to submit
to its bloody and inhuman course, or to re-
sist it. Tennessee can ask no time to con-
slider which she will take.

was to invite the Government of the United
States to a friendly consideration of the re-
lations between the United States and the
seven States lately of the Federal Union, but
now separated from it by the sovereign will
of their people, growing out of the pregnant
and undeniable fact that those people have
rejected the authority of the United States
