Treason An the North.

OuT government refuses 10 allow such
newspapers as are openly in favor Of the
rebellion to have place in the nails
This is right. Common sense approves
it.
But treason is cunning. 1t is fertile
in expedients. In the. loyal States there
are managers of newspapers who. deeply
sympathizing with the rebellion, or cher
ishing deep anxiety to make money by
ostensibla sympathy with it, are wary and
prudent enough not to declare outright in
favor of it, and at the same time are doing
whatever they dare in the way Of promo
ting it. They are evidently performing
the work of the Knights Of the Golden
Circle. Their whole aim manifestly is to
commend themselves to rebel favor and
do rebel service. They make every effort
to renuer the United States government
odious, distorting its acts and misrepre-
senting and maligning its motives, and
publish whatever they can find that is
calculated to encourage the rebellion and
discourage the Uuion cause.
Now, in our opinion all such newspa.
pers should be as much excluded from the
mails as newspapers openly advocating
the rebellion. What traitor is not al.
lowed to do directly heishould no. be al
lowed to do indirectly. Crooked treason
is no better than the straight article. Let

SLAUGHTER OF OFFICIAL APPOINT

which has adjourned, failed to confirm
one hundred and forty appointments sent
into it by President Davis. These ap-

than skeleton organization. which we
suppose Congress was not disposed at this

from the hands Of traitors, and saving the
Union and the Constitution, which the
traitor oligarchy had doomed to destruc-
ton. Loyal men and true patriots, ON
the contrary, see in these suffcrings the
dreadful consequences Of this gigantic
and wicked rebellion, inaugurated under
the late Democratic Administration by
the powerful shareholders Of the South.
And while they realize that our Govern
ment and Union are worth oil this sacri-
fee of life and human suffering, they
are thankful that the Republican party,
under the lead of Mr.. Lincoln, saved the
country from the Vaccinations of traitors
and rallied loyal men of all parties to its
support. And they look ahead with calm
confidence to the utter overthrow of the
rebellion. the establishment of the IN

the condign punishment of the guilty
leaders Of the traitor hosts, and the infic-
ton Of a death dealing blow upon the
slave power-the guilty cause Of all our
woes. And in the hope and prospect that
under Providence this war will put slave

DENT LIyCOLS,s VIEW.

Some OF our readers will have noticed with
interest recent prominently published dis
patch Of Washington letter writer, whose
correctness has never been denied, announcing
that President Lincoln had, in a CONVEX
saton with Gen. Lane, declared that after
much deliberation no had come 10 th,
conclusion that he could not recognize
the existence OF Slavery in the Seeded
States. Slavery must be deemed to be
abolished within those States by the very ac-
ton of the State in seeding; and of course
there can be no return of fugi.yes from those
States, nor any constitutional recognition of the
institution.
IL is q matter for very seriOua congratua.
ton that the President has ut length discoy cred
the ground on which he can assume firm
stand in the face of the whole country; and on
which be can shape a consistent and decided
policy for his administration in relation to this
most momentous subject. 1t is still further a
reason for congratulaton that the policy thus
announced is ono which maintains consistency
both with constitutional obligations on the one
side and with tho rights Of man on the other.
