, Natural History, that there are only two
animals that hiss: the viper, by s reason of
its venom, and the goose, for its simpli-
city. l think the present instance is
an exception, and the whistler is gosling.

holy horror of coercion. Why, force and
terror have coerced the South into her
present position, and nothing but force
and power will bring her back. You were
eoeree9d by the violence aud force os seces4
sion, and the spirit of secession must be sub
dued aud controlled by force. The strong
arm OF the Government must be barred and
Justice must do her work. Wemay as we'll

have matters gone on heretofOrs7 Why,
when the Union army came here the first
to run 10 1t for protection aud privileges
were secessionists, who got promises of pro-
lection IL they would remain neutral On.

terrified with threats of vengeance if the
rebel army should return. The secession
ist was protected by the Uuion army, and
was equally conf lent of protection should
the rebel army return SO he felt perfectly
easy. The Union man dreaded utter ruin,
should reverse occur, and was filed with
perpetual alarm. So, under this strange
policy, the rebel had tt0O guarantees, Rnd
