them the highest claim to our gratitude.
Not the partisan Of the Reconsideration,
we have better right to insist upon the
necessity Of sustaining the Gov9nment
IN view Of its patriotic course; and this
we propose to do, heartily, earnestly, de-
spite all hostile party organization, so
long as It shows patriotic purpose TO
maintain the integrity Of the Union and
Che Constitution.
There is no difficulty for the truly loyal
citizen in regard to this matter. for so late
IN the day as this il is impossible to
mystify any. AS the lamented Douglas
declared in the last speech he was privi-
legged to make: "There are only two sides
to the question. EUey man must be for
Tie United States Government or against il.
There can be no neutrals in this war /:
only patriots or traitors" And as Daniel
5. Dickinson told us long ago at will
be time enough to struggle over who shall
administer the Government when we are
sure we have one to administer"
We hope, then, to see the patriotic
people of Maryland still moving on
quietly and firmly as ever in the path
they seem to have marked out for them
selves. Too many greatinterests of theirs
are at stake to permit them to fritter
away those resources and energies in
conflicts with each other which should
20 TO sustain, as such, a great nationali-
ty. With the disloyal among them COM
PEELED by an overwhelming public senti-
ment to mine and countermine to carry
out if possible, their nefarious projects
against our nationality, il is for the truly
loyal to continue openly and resolutely
on the side of the Government with no
needless display indeed, but with de-
cided attitude which should leave the
disloyal nothing to hope for to the end of
the conflict.
What they may elect to do in relation
to great local interest ieopardized is
something for the people of the State
here to consider. No business of OUT
siders, there yet may arise such pressing
necessity to have it dealt with in some
manner that there will be little or no
chance to postpone discussion, no matter
how earnestly it might be desired. But
AS we intimated in the outset-let us
postpone every dispute, bury every ami
mostly, forget every thing, indeed for the
time being, which might seriously impair
our ability to stand up for the Govern
ment in its struggle with a murderous
rebellion.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Secession Carried out.

The test Of principle is in it's univer
sal application wherever it may be properly
applied.
The Rebel leaders urged certain States to
leave strong National Union TO form a
" Coniederacy." This they effected by a
claim of States rights-sovereign States had
the right, they said, to retire from the Union
But the very principle which they had re.
course to form their "Coniederacyr is its
weakness, and betrays their folly, or else
they will shamelessly violate 1t when it suits
their purpose to do SO. Acting upon this
right, North Carolina begins to tire of the
Contederacy Arkansas, albeit bitter to-
wards the North, is called upon by her Gov.
ernOr to come out on her" own hook"
in her own defence, aud likwise ignores or
defes the Confederate Government. The
principle is a bad rule, unless it will work
both ways. At once the rabid Rebel press
denrunce the Governor of Arkansas as a
traitor to the new Government.
The names Of immutabe ideas, with these
men are entirely relative. To leave the IN
ion was not treason in their eyes while 60
exercise what Governor RECTOR calls the
same right, in leaving the Confederucy, vir-
tualy, if not by enactmen. is.
The national Government, which is the
strong transcendent power Of our Uuion, is
lighting for the very thing which Secession,
having originally violated, is now contend
ing for Thus extremes are meeting But
the conduct Of the first Secession conven-
tons, in a number of the States, was true
forecast Of the real reasonable spirit which
is now being unmaske. They threatened
and cOwed the Union members to take these
States out and they will now as vigor
ously force them TO remain in the tolls OF the
new Government, as their armed power will
permit JEFFERSON DAVIS q Co, will pre-
sently assert that States rights are beautiful
in theory, but that the exigencies of the case
will not permit their present. operations ia

crime, it would move our pity Tor the very

ImPortant from North Carolina.
There are strong indications that the
State Convention, elected over one year
ago in that State, and now sitting al
Raleigh, will take decided action for re-
storing the State to her former Federal
relations.
The Newbern Progress states that a
convention at Raleigh voted down, by 81
TO 81, the infamous measure offered by
Kenneth Raynor, Furnishing severely any
one presuming 10 counsel, aid, or abet in
any proposition TO reinstate the old North
State in the Union.
One of the members made a strong
speech in favor Of free labor and the
policy Of encouraging emigration Of agri-
culturists by giving farms 20 actual set
tiers Members of the convention agi-
tate seriously the urging of the Federal
Government TO confiscate the estates of
the rebels, and sending committee TO
Washington therefor.
The Convention passed an ordinance
directing the Government TO discharge
all volunteers over 30 years of age.
The Raleigh Standard and Greensboro
Patriot advocate the election of VIM. A.
Graham for Governor.
Beauregard's official report of the bat

pise

We are gratiied TO hear that the
rebels in Southern Kentucky who have
been secretly preparing for some time past
TO enter into guerrilla opera tions, will be
attended to very shortly and with sever
ity. There are some traitors in Logan,
Todd, Christian, Trigg and Coldwell,
who are marked and will be heavily
dealt with. We urge the authorities of
Kentucky to be on the alert everywhere.
The rebels evidently hope to do great
deal of mischief with their hordes of
house breakers and horse thieves, to the
property of Union men. 1t is time that
a little blood-letting be introduced in
place of imposing Oaths and bonds. 1t
is part of a thorough rebels creed to
break either whenever he can aid his
cause. Let the rascals take their choice
between loyalty and determination
Kentucky must be purged of these trail
tors. We want our noble sister to stand
side by side with US during the dark
night of rebellion. Kentucky, to work,

The Canadian journals are coming

number Of a Montreal paper:
"The people that can raise and equip
such armies in year; build an impreg-
nable vessel Of war without model in
a hundred days, and win twenty or
thirty victories in the same time, can
take care Of themselves and preserve
their national life, their national domain,

II is said that Northern troops in hot
climates enjoy more robust health and
perform more work, under certain pre-
cautions as to health, than natives. We
call to mind that Col. lotion built the
Panama Railroad with Northern labo-
rers, after having vainly tried to use the
services of the resident population there.
Actual experience in Jamaica, under the
direction of Capt. Marryatt, and in At
RIGA, under DIR. Livingston, the great ex-
plorer, has proved the ability Of North
ern men to withstand the most deadly OF
the tropical miasmata. Capt. Marryatt
demonstrated the utility of wearing fan
mel next to the skin. Dr. Livingston
proved the value of quinine as a prophy-
Tactic. At Port Royal our troops use
quinine with whisky, in the proportion of
two grains Of powdered quinine dissolved
in half a gill of whisky, diluted with
half gill of water. This is taken in
the morning before eating, and again at
night, by troops exposed to malaria, and
is said that so far from promoting intern
perance it really gives a distaste for in
toxicating drinks

Secessionism is a species of insanity,
and a very bad species too. Who but a
crazy man would be for protracting a
struggle so utterly hopeless as that which
the Southern Confederacy is now waging?
Every man who contributes to the extern

in any way the rebel cause, is guilty be-
fore God, Of reckless wanton,c old blood

An exchange saws

On the Both May, 1861, it is said that
jeff Davis sent to Gen. Scott an ear of
corn, as typical of the straits TO which
the Union forces would speedily be re-
duced, if hey persisted in the invasion
of the sacred soil of Virginia.
Gen. Scott might now return Davis's
gift by sending him pair Of ear9-the

Sin always arrogates to itself the
widest license. A drunkard will drain
his cups from morning till night, but will
make terrible cutlery if a sober citizen
should take a dram. A gambler will
impoverish and ruin twenty families, and
yet will fill the town with his outcries
against quiet clergyman who has chanc-
ed to drive a shrewd bargain. A thor
Ough-bred and habitual villain always
holds honest men strictly to the path of
rectitude and fair dealing, So it is with
secessionism. It's followers are the most
inconsistent of men. While they are
warning against the very life of the ma
ton, and attempting to overthrow the
Constitution, they deny to the govern
ment the exercise of any power to save
itself from destruction. The rebels JUS
tify the exercise Of martial law by their
own officers, but deny the right of the
government to arrest and imprison no.
torious traitor who is trading and cor
responding with the enemy. The rebels
lay waste the country with guerrilla
bands, but deny the right of the govern
ment to enforce its authority with regular
armies. The rebels burn millions of dol
lars worth or private property, but deny
the right Of the government to touch a
dollars worthy of property belonging to
a notorious traitor in arms against itself.
The rebels confine our brave soldiers in
foul and dismal prisons, and shrek in
rage at the bare mention of the govern
ment arresting a robber, a murderer or an
alder of guerrilla operations. They fire
on flags of truce, they shell hospitals, they
assassinate men who cheer the Union
flag, they plant torpedoes in defiance of
the laws of civilized warfare, they use
blood-hounds to chase down loyal citi-
zens, they drive women and children
from their homes in East Tennessee, and
then they complain of the cruelty of our
government for combining such offenders
as BARROW and GUILD in Fort Mackinaw.
The rebels in violation of their solemn
covenant force soldiers back into the
army whose term has expired and who
have never got one dollar of pay, and
then in the next breath abuse our gov
eminent for not enforcing the fugitive
slave law for some minion of JOHN Mon
GAN. They refuse to let the planters sell
their crops, and then denounce our gov
eminent for disregarding the rights of
the people when il blockades the har-
bors of Charleston and Mobile. They
make the most abiect and craven appeals
TO England and France TO take them I'M
der monarchical protection and then
abuse the government as despotic and
tyrannical We might give a thousand
other instances, but these will suffice to
prove that nothing will please the rebels
which tends TO save the government, and
nothing will displease them which tends
to destroy IT, They are fully determined
TO be satisfied with no good act of our
government, or dissatisfied with any bad
act of their own usurpation. They would
curse the Savior IL be were a. Unionistand
glorify the Devil if he were for the rebel
lion, as he undoubtedly is. Who will
dare plead for this most unholy, incon-
