How WE ARE TO re TREATED VINES tbs
YANREEs CONQUER Us.-Mr. TrumbuA, in
hi, late speech in the U. S. Senate, said:
But what scems 80 embanass some
minds is the difficulty Of treating these
men both as citizens and traitors. These
rebels in the Southern States occupy just
exactly that position. When an nsur
rection assumes such formidable proper
tons as this has, and when armies are ar
raved against the government and against
each other. all the writers on international
law agree that the rebels are entitled to
be treated as belligerents and enemies ;
and we have been treating the rebels at
HE South as belligerents during the pres
ont war. We have sent flags of truce TO
them and taken them as prisoners, and
whenever a rebellion becomes OF such
magnitude as to be entitled to be calico a
civil war, the parties are to be governed
Inv the ordinary rules OF war Whlle u lasls'
oDI in the prosecution of such war the
COW ',nyornnent is bound to observe the same
Tnlos os il would observe in war with an
independent nation. But that does not
nrevent the government, after the war IS
over from irving as a traitor any person
that NAV be in its hands and that is the
way, take it, which this rebellion Is iinal-
| ly to be put down. Nobody expects to
trv all the 100000 men now in arms
AGAINST the government and hang them
though they are undoubtedly traitors
Rnt we will give them the rights OF bel
Iigerents. and take them as prisoners
of war. and when thev return to Their
LOYALTY again, those who have been Sc
dnced from it, we will release them; but
lie ring.leaders in this rebellion, the in
stigators Of 1t, the conspirators VINO nave
SET il on foot, will, trust, be brought to
the halter.

SPEAK Properly.

Frequently paragraphs are met with in the
papers, speaking of the g t,co wings of the
Democratic party One of these wings is
represented by those who supported the
Democratic platform and its nominee, Ste
phen A. Douglas; the other by those who
supported at that time General John C.
Breckinridge, c. S. A., and yet sustain him.
1t is well enough to have it understood that
there are not : two wings to the Democratic
party. A portion cf that party sloughed off
and went into the work of treason, and have
just the same right to call themselves Demo-
Gratis that the devil has to call himself an an
gel. We observe that certain politicians are
endeavoring to make up g fusion of these
/" two wings" Through the darkness and
secresy of this movement we think we descry
in the distance old Gwin, holding the bag for
the coming snipe The band of rebel SYM
pathizers in this State have yet to learn that
nobody wants any political afiliation with
them. We know of no Democrat who de-
sires it. Those who were Democrats in
1860 say that this "war" has got to be sus-
tanned and the country protected, and the
only way they can deal with the other
f" wing of the Democratic party, is as it was
dealt with at Donelson and Sugar Creek. Is
that clear enough?
