This anticipated the John Brown raid into
Virginia, which had so much to do with produc
ing the civil war, and is the model Of all the
John Brown songs since sung by the antislayery
fanatics Indeed, John Brown himself was bu,
an emanation of the atrocious principles pro
pagated by the Tribune, wien it called our
sacred flag "a Haunting lie = and "a polluted
rag and dared to urge all who could to tear
it down, destroy it and sink it in the waves
What more could JET Davis do than this
Have not John Brown and JEFF. Davis alike
borrowed their inspiration from this hymn to
treason! II It was just to hang a Southern
man at Now Orleans for tearing down the Stars
who cxhorts to the black deed?
But it is not in verse alone that the Tribune
philosophers have advocated the breaking M
Of the Union and the .urling OF its flag. The
following extracts will show what they are
capable Of doing in plain prose-

From the Tribune Of February %, 1851
We have repeatedly said and we once more insist that
the great principle ombodod by Jefferson in the Dcclara
ton OF American hide psndence, that governments de-
rive their s power rom the consent of ,ho governed

Whenever Il shall be clear that s great body Of the
Southern people have become concGsvey aenaiod from
tho umon and anxious TO escape from H. We will d. our
best TO forward their views
The tendency Of these editorial articles was to
induce the Southern States which had taken
the initiatory steps in the road to epen treason
and rebellion to continue in their course till
they finally succeeded in throwing OFF the yoke.
The Tribune justified secession and separation
upon the principles Of the Declaration Of Indc-
psndence and the practice Of our Revolutionary
fathers Of l776. The Tribune was known at

as well as multitudcs Of the people, concluded
that neither Mr.. Lincoln's administration nor
the party IN power would have any objection

the organ Of Northern disunion till they had
SO far committed themselves that IL was more
difficult for them to retrace their steps than to

oonspirators had thus Jared the Southern
States TO their destruction, and tbs wsr
