VERY TERRlBIE. The Constitution (Clsgett's)
is afraid that the1 Southern States will be laid
waste by the barbaric butcheringC Of the whites
by the blacks It sheds Q whole column of
maudlin tears over the fearful prospect it gloom.
lily paints for its own dedication. But the Con.
stitution and its '.nigger" loving editor had no
word Of pity for the people of Pennsylvania,
whom the chivalrous Lee and pious Jackson
threatened to overrun with fire and sword, and
consign to the tender mercies of their gang of
reprobates! All this, We suppose, was right in
the opinion of the loyal Constitution, since it
did not take the trouble to condemn it. Clagett
ought to remember that if the negroes should
choose to rebel, it is their masters who are
teaching them the lesson. As for any barbar-
ism they may display, it will be exceedingly diff
cult for them to equal their masters in that re-
spect. II
There is infinitely more hope of negro's pro.
wing humane than Of their despotic and soul
killing drivers, who, like other sayages talk of
their chivalry. But if there is any danger, it is
easily averted. All the South has to do is to Law
down its arms, and submit itself to the Consti-
tuition and the law. If they won't do that, it is
not our fault if they suffer, nor are we anxious
about the measure of their punishment.

To be Watched.

There is not among the leaders of the So
called Democratic (Aahony) party either live
or an outspoken loyal man. They are without
an exception played out politicians, Of exceeding.
~ 6shy antecedents, without character in the
present or hope in the future. As regards their
loyalty the most favorable thing We ever heard
Of any of them was negative declaration of
ignorance. Here and there man is willing to
say he don't know them to be traitors-no
thinking man is willing to say he has seen evil
dence ofloyalty. And this at time in which, il
ever, loyal men should be true to the country
and show their faith by their works
These controlling spirits in Burlington are
heart and soul on the side of rebellion according
to their acts. They are endorsers of and co
workers with Dennis Mahony. They take his
paper, nearly every one Of them. They labored
with and induced every Democrat in the Board
Of Supervisors to vote against the bounty to our
soldiers They have labored to prevent appro-
priations for the relief Of the families of soldiera
They now curse the Eugish nation because it
does not interfere to stop the war. Their great
concern is that the rebellion will be put down,
their friends compelled to submit and loose
their property in slaves The President's Pro-
clamation has thrown them off their guard
They see in it the speedy overthrow Of the rebel.
lion and cannot conceal their sympathy for it.
They will find out some of these days that loyal
Democrats as well IS Republicans are watching
them.

the battery is ours, only to be again taken

And as closing remark he adds:
Whatever of credit is due to other regiments,
the palm of glory in this battle must be awarded

A SWEET MORSEL {!

, A SWEET MORSEL!
The Chicago Times, the great mouth-piece Of
the traitors in the North West, says, sit is not
the Southern States, but the Southern people,
who are in rebellion" This is a new tune-an
entire change of the secesh programme. When
the rebellion broke out, every body viii remem.
Der what long, labored and countless articles
filed up the sympathizing press, for the pur-
pose of proving that the rebellion was the act
Of the States, and, being set on foot by State
authority, the United States, the Union, could
do nothing whatever to put it down, or, in the
phrase Of the day, could not eoerce a State SOW
ereignty. None of us have forgot all the trash
with which We were flooded at that time. Now,
the Times comes round, and lays the sin entire
" upon the people, and asserts further that tae
Southern States with ell their institutions, stli
stand, part and parcel of the, Federal System.
It goes on and at last admits that "Slaves may
be treated - any other property" but, It says,
"Slavs-y, al system, cannot be ssriche" dorm,
for tie indsp,staJle reason that iis State instit,s-
ton !" The Times takes al this trouble, CON-
pletely reverees oil its past assertions and con.
fesses it 70 be a. lawful to confscate slaves %
any other, property, in order to make:a preten-
ded argument sgainst the Emancipation policy
indicated BY the Presidents Proclamation. and
in favor Of psrpetuating the SLAVE SYs1sx
Probably it will not be long before it will
discover that IT. argument is untenable, and
hurts its cause quite as decidedly as its antico-
ercion doctrines. Meanwhile let the people re-
member that ONE of the reasons why these
denounce the Emancipation
policy, is because they are in favor of the Sla,s
Systen, and, with their Southern brethren, think
1 blessing which, like the religion of our Di-
vine Teacher, should be extended over all the
world! II is the cause, alone, which urges them

ows are 60 anxious about the perpetaity Of this
nfernal system, which has not merely barbariz-

Isn't it delightful doctrine to be urged by
men who say they are Democrats, to those who,

The LINE DRAwN.-The Presidents procla-
nations have at last drawn the line of distinc.
ton between patriots and the disloyal sympa-.
thizers with the foulest revolt that blackens and
dishonors the. annals of mankind. They who
revere and love the institutions which have
made this agreat, happy and prosperous people,
cannot but approve any and every measure
which seems calculated to bring upon the most
horrible treason Of the South punishment in
some degree proportionste to its deserta True
men and patriots can have no sentiment other
than detestation for those Who have plunged
the nation into its present terrible condition Of
intestine warfare. just in proportion Is they
value the blessings Of our free and benefcent
institutions, viii be the heartiness of their ha-
tired towards those whose madness and malevo-
lence are aiming at their utter destruction. The
good can see,that the wickedness Of this attempt
must b psnished They understand that such
punishment must be in proportion to the enor'.
nifty of the crime committed against the nation
and humanity, and that anything short Of this,
is but offering premium to Ill who may In the
future attempt . repetition Of the same crime,
and again deluge the country in the blood OF
its own sons. 49,,
There is no possible apology for treason IN
this country. Where the people choose their
lawmakers, ard determine, the measures and
policies of the Government BY their own votes
treason and revolt are mere wanton wickednees
and az ine1piicable as the revolt OF the angels
in Heaven, and deserve ss great and signal
punishment. aiiF as7al q 1Hk
Such being the, character Of this hideous Re
bellion how is it that any man not himself linked
with it, and at heart part Of it, can attempt to
pslliate and excuse it! Those who do this,
plainly indicate where their hearts and wishes
are. When they denounce those who are striving
to save the country, do they do SO because they
love the country, or because they desire the
success Of those who are striving with such dew
lsh malice to sever and destroy it, There can
Re but one reply to these questions. They are
lisloyaL They condemn the proclamations be.
,ause they are disloyal. The line is drawn
Hereafter there will be no trouble in designating
hem. They can no longer praise the Presi-
lent and condemn bis supporters. These stand
ogether. The only distinction now 10 between
hose who stand by the Administration and
hose Who oppose it The former are the Union
nen-the patriots; the latter are those who |
vould hurrah for JEFF Davis il they dared.
