Words in season.

The " Lounger," in the last number Of
Harpers' Weekly, says;
"t Let us suppress the abolitionists, cries
some slack-witted orator, and the rebel
lion will end Ofcourse it will, you dear
soul; and if all your fellow citizens had
been of your calibre and kidney, there
would have been no rebellion at all. If
Hampden and his friends had said, Let us
suppress these fellows who cry out against
ship-money,' England would have quietly
submitted to the tyranny of the Stuarts.-
If Otis and Patrick Henry had shouted
Hurrah for King George and the Stamp
Act there would have been no bloody re-
volution. IfMirabeau and the French peo-
pie had beloved, Hurrah for starvation /;
aristocrats foreverp all the trouble in
France would have been speedily ended.
To be sure, every right would have been
annihilated, every liberty destroyed, and a
few rich and remorseless people would
have governed France, but there would have
been no difficulty except moral rot and
general national decay.
LET us suppress the abOlitionists.' But
suppose you begin at the beginning. First
subdue the common sense Of the people Of
the country; then you may subdue those
who influence it. 1t is not what you call,
with an amusing persistence, abolitiOnism,
which caused the var, but the opening of
the eyes of the people, so that they see. The
people of the country kn2W perfectly well
that slavery is at the bottom Of this rebel
lion. If there had been no slavery there
would have been no war; just as there would
have been no abolitiopism. The temperance
movement sprung from drunkenness; and
when drunken man tries to kill his wife
don't you think that the teetotalers are
responsible for it?
"Slavery was trying to kill the country.
It had almost succeeded. Watch watchP
shouted the aboitionists. Slavery, mad
dened that its crime was discovered, shot
and stabbed right and left. There there /
cry the sensible Wicklife and company
this comes Of calling the watch Why the
devil can't you hold your tongues Let
US suppress those fellows who cry watch /
watch and all win be quiet againl
'Certsinly, dead dog or dead nation
are both perfectly quiet And nation of
freemen throttled, with its own consent by
a slave system ikeours, is the deadest and
meanest of all dead dogs"

Senator Pomeroy, Of Kansas, has issued
an address to the eOlOred people Of the
United States, urging colonization upon
them he has been entrusted, by the Pres
ident, with the supervision Of the work,
and proposes to make thorough trial of the
scheme. He tells the free colOred people Of
the country that the President has signi-
-ded his desire TO carry out, fully, to the
p letter and spirit Of the late act of Congress,
the desire Of the national legislature,
which made an appropriation to facilitate
their emigration and settlement in some
locality outside these States. Mr.. POme-
roy proposes on the first day of October
next, 10 take with him one hundred color
ed men as pioneers in this movement, who,
with their families, may equal the num-
81. Der offve hundred souls, and for whose ben
eftthe appropriations in the acts Of Con-
Rress were made. The President will pro-
vide the means Of transportation and the
protection Of the settlement. Being famil-
lar with organizing and settling the early
> emigration to his own State (Kansas) he
indulges the hope that that experience
may be msde serviceable to them.
Chiriqui, the region which has been Sc
lscted for this experiment in colonization,
lies in Costa Riea, one of the most -four
. ishing Of the Central American States, and
is indiferently the name Of a lagoon, a
river and an archipelago. The archipela-
20 separates this lagoon from the Carib-
lLE bean sea. The lagoon has three entrances
from the sea, and is capable of accOmmO-
H5z dating ships Of the largest class. tex
tends for ninety miles along the coast, and
from forty to fifty miles inland. It is
about one weeks sail from Washington

n mind, who desire to join this first expedi-
don, are requested to send their names,

lies, and their pOstOfice address to S. c.

- RnaneIpaIIon PoIIeI

In view Of the reported preparation by
the President Of an emancipation prOola-
nation, the Toronto Globe has an able ar
Hele strongly fayOring that policy, and
showing not only its advantages but its
go Necessity, Il says that from the commence
ment Of the war, it has been perfectly evil
udent that the Northern States held in their
q hsndt mighty weapon to WELD against the
South in the institution Of slavery. They
had itin their power to withdraw from SOO,-
900 to ], 600 600 active laborers Of the force
Of their opponent and 70 enlist them in
3 their own cause. They were deferred from
employing this instrument by the prO-slA-
veuism existing at the North, rivetted
into the minds Of large classes Of thepeO-
pie BY a long course Of subserviency to the
slaveOcracy Of the South, and by the natu-
raj repugnanee which the friends Of the
Union in the slave States necessarily felt
towards measure which was designed to
take from them their property and subvert
their institutions. But the abolitiOnists of
the North have had during the war, i'm
mense advantages in overcoming the re-
sistanoe Of the slavery loving fellow oit-
sens. They bayehad distinct policy to
7ndvOeate, that Of emancipation as means
Of bringing lhe war to a close an end ear
nestly desired by al parties The slavery
lovers have only had to urge the imprOpri-
ETY. Of destroying the institutions and
taking away the property Of rebels against
the national government, and the possible
danger arising from the Dissatisfaction
which measure Of emancipation would
produce among the lOyalists Of the border
States The former argument was very
weak, but the latter has weighed heavily in
the minds even Of those who were con-
WINGED that ere the war was closed, sla-
very must be brought to an end, and the
result has been that, up to thepresent time
the ultimate remedy, emancipation, has not
been approved, either by the authorities or
by the masses Of the people. The estrength
displayed by the Southern revOlutOnists
during the last two months, has however,
immensely quickened the perception of
the Northern people. They see that to
conquer and keep in subjugatiOn the people
81 Of the South is absolutely impossible 50
long as the whites have four millions of
slaves to work for and feed them. They
see that to secure peace after conquest it
is necessary that the whole organization
Of society in the Southern States should be
changed, and slowly but surely public
opinion has risen to the point which Pres
ident Lincoln is said to have reached.

The Rebel EmbassadOr ut Niagara Falls.
As the telegraph has stated, the distin-
guished rebel who arrived at Niagara Falls
was Geo. N. Saunders and not Yancey. The
following note to the N. 7. Tribune tells
how he was received at the Clifton House
BUFFALO, August %, 1862
We hear to-day by tourists returned from
Niagara Falls, that last evening a way
worn, long haired extremely seedy, and more
dirty man, importuned the ferry-man at
the foot of the Staircase to row him across
the river Money and entreaty bought
the passage TO the Canadian shore. The
travel worn climbed the road to the Clifton
House, the great Northern asylum for
euigre secesh. His entrance into the busi-
ness Office Of the Hotel was frowned at by
the official proprietors and funkies on duty
there. The haggard and dirty one stalked
up to the desk, and demanded to be con-
Quoted to Ex-Governor Morehead, Of Ken
lucky. The official proprietors, moderate
ly stunned by the request, entered into du-
tiful debate with the stranger whose raj
ment shocked while his imperiousness of
voice swed them. They compromised the
question raised between the dignity Of their
hotel and the poverty of a traveller, whom
poverty had not humiliated, by calling
Governor Morehead down stairs instead Of
conducting the man up. The recognition
of the stranger by the Governor was not
long delayed. my Godi is this your"
said he with great feeling, clasping him by
the hand, walk right up stairs" Within
an hour it was buzzed through the secesh
corridors of the house that ambassador
Yancey was closeted with Gov. MOrehead
that he had safely come up from Rich
mond through friendly Baltimore, and
was on his way to England.

Rebel Dc.Ian.--MooloIlan, Pope and Hal

keCks
Washington Correspondence n. Y. Herald.l
Secession sympathizers in this city, who
have hitherto exhibited an astonishing
correctness In their predictions Of the
movements Of the rebel army, assert that
the attack upon the Union army now sta
toned on the RappshannOok is only inten-
ded to occupy II while large force under
Jackson is passing round by Winchester
with view Of crossing, in the vicinity OF
Leesburg, into Maryland, in order to
menace shis city. In the meantime, how
ever, reinforcements have been forwarded
10 Gen. Pope, and with the force now
threatening the north Of Richmond 1t Is
believed that General Lee rebel army can
be utterly routed, and the Union army be
left free to attend to Jackson whenever he
may turn up,
The force which made the attack upon
the trains at Catlett's station is believed TO
be scouting party Of Stuarts cavalry, ia
miliar with the country, and executing q
dashing adventure, similar TO their pas
sage around the rear of McClellan's army
on the peninsula. Guerrilla parties have
evidently sprung up to a considerable
extent throughout the country between
here and Winchester. 1t is stated that
last night one Of these bands paid a visit
10 the vicinity Of Hunters Chapel, within
five or six miles Of this city, and seized
and carried off six persons. To-day Union
pickets have been thrown out in consider
able strength, in all directions, for several
miles from this city.
No apprehension is entertained here of
any disaster to the Union armies, and 1t
is believed that within a few days the
forces at the command of General Halleck
will be sufficient to overwhelm the rebel
army.
A difficulty is apprehended in regard to
the relative rank and command Of Gen
erals Mcclellan and Pope, upon the en-
trance Of the former into the Department
of Virginia, which has been assigned to
General Pope. An order was issued some
time ago to the effect that armies passing
through department should romain under
the independent command Of officers
having control Of them; but, as General
McClellan's army is to operate in the De-
partment of Virginia, it win become neces-
sary either to make a change in the de-
partment or leave General Mcclellan sub
ordinate to General Pope. In the latter
event General Mcclellan would probably
resign. It is intimated, however, that this
difficulty will be avoided by Gen. Halleck
assuming personally the command of that
department. It appears to be a settled
fact that General McClellan's army is to
remain unit. The portion Of it landed
at Aqua creek is to be moved so as to
unite with the forces landed at Alexandria.
They were divided in order TO insure more
rapid transportation.

Narrow Escape Of Gen. hanks.

Correspondents n. \. tribune
Gen. Banks had very narrow. escape
from death during the engagement Of his
troops on Saturday morning, on the ex-
treme right of our line He was leaning
against tree watching the progress Of the
fight, when Tihed shot from rebel bat
terry struck the tree about eighteen inches
above his head, cutting it clean in two.
With his usual good fortune he escaped in
jury, even from splinters. I found the
General on Friday afternoon, lying in the
shade of tree, with his staff about him,
and the horses picketed close by. He is
looking pale and thin, and his leg is still
stiff from the effect of his recent injury.
Until Friday, he had ridden in an ambu-
lance from place to place, but on that day
he mounted his horse and directed the
movements Of his corps in person. From
him I got the true version Of the accident
which happened in the hard battle Of
Slaughter Mountain. II seems that he and
his staff were lying on the ground, as l
found them on Friday, when sudden dash
was made in their direction by some rebel
cavalry. The tumult frightened the staff
horses, and a large powerful animal be-
longing to the General becoming seriously
scared at the discharge Of pistols, gave a
sudden plunge forward, and, striking the
General with great force in the hip, threw
him down and bruised him severely.

with the request that he would permit the

swered the General-in-Chief, "If every
man but one in that regiment were killed,
and he was lame drummer boy, I would
