The Satanic JacObin Clubs at Work to
Overthrow the Government.

The Satanic JacObin Clubs at Work to
| Overthrow the Government.
| We learn from the Boston LiberotOr that a
meeting was recently held in Massachusetts, Of
Jacobin revolutionary club to "supersede"
the President, as was recommended in the be-
| ginning of the war by the Little villain" o.
| the New York Times, and as has been openly
threatened by the Tribune and other abolition
journals frequently since. The government has
been also warned publicly by audacious dema-
gogues in Congress and by itinerant lecturers
that it stands upon precipce, liable to be
dashed to pieces at any moment unless it will
yield to their fanatical one idea Intimations
OF an equally menacing nature have been made
in secret to the President and his Cabinet by the
leaders of the JacObin clubs. The object of
these threats is to intimidate the President into
a compliance with their Infamous demands.
One portion of the agencies used by the
clubs is the manufacture of public opinion by
means of lectures in favor of their revolution
ary views, and instilling them among the gene
rails and subordinate officers of the army, in
order to corrupt their minds and render them
disloyal to the government and the constitu-
tion. Washington has been specially selected
for the purpose, and the Smithsonian Institute
is prostituted to the treason. Already Brownson,
Charming, Sumner and Greeley have lectured,
and the next is to be Cheever then Beecher,
Curtis and Wendell Phillips. Such are the
dyed in the wool abolition propagandists who,
at the very seat of government are tainting the

IDEAS
An account Of Greeleys performance is
given by fellow conspirator in the New York
Times, which endorses the conspirator. "With
the Northern army" says the writer, "the lee
ture system has also invaded the capital, and
has already become so thoroughly acclimated
as to flourish vigorously. Several Of the most
radical of the Northern anti-slavery men have
lectured acceptably to large audiences bring
ing warm responses for their sentiments and a
full exchequer to the association" As to
Greeley's lecture he says:-"Ihe broader the
distinctions he dre,o bet,oeen slavery and freedom
the more decidedly he proclaimed that the ,oar
could not succeed until the administration looked
! the beQigerents in the eye and said, they are
slare propagondists, not rebels the more ,oarm
and spontaneous acds the applause" Ii
we did not know the character of the
cate the nature of their sentiments. And lest
there should be any doubt on that point or
about the general complexion Of the audience.
which consisted of representative men from
every Northern State, and having in front
goodly numbers of Congressman and civic
magnates and army officers of distinction" we
are informed that "an avalanche, loud, pro-
longed and overpowerng, welcomed the Incl
dental mention of the name of Fremont"
1t is evident that the design of this organi
zation is reasonable, and it ought to be put
down by the strong hand of the government.
If it is not suppressed it may do infinite mis-
chief. 1t may lead to serious disturbances at
the North, and if not checked in time it may
ALLEVIATE from the support of the government
and the war thousands who have been hitherto
Jealous friends. There is greater necessity
for shutting up the abolition traitors than the
secession traitors at the North. They must be
squelched; otherwise the Southern people
will never give the North credit for sim
cerity when it proclaims its purpose to re-
spect the constitutional rights of the South.
As long as these men are tolerated we need
not expect the submission of the rebellious
States. 1t was the Satanic proceedings of the
abolitionists for the last thirty years that cul-
minated in the disruption of the Union, which
it was their custom to pronounce "a covenant
with death and an agreement with HE'LL" and
now they are doing their utmost to prevent a
healing of the breach. They have created civil
war; and their desire is to perpetuate it for ages
if they cannot carry out their fanatical princi-
pies. But the people will not pay for such
music, and the sooner this narrow-minded sect
retreat from their dangerous position the better
for themselves. AS their motto is "nO COM
promise" the people must crush them in their
own defence. AS the Jacobin clubs destroyed
the republic in the French Revolution, and
caused it to result in despotism, in order to
escape from anarchy, so will their successors
among us subvert the American republic, over
throw all law and order and produce either a
military tyranny or chaos and confusion out of
the ruins of the government, If they are per-
mtted to have scope and verge enough for
their designs.
The country, however, will be glad to find
| that the President and his Cabinet are firm.
Even the abolition journals admit it. The New
| York Times of yesterday has the following in
| formation for its readers:-"A radical republi-
| can member of Congress had private inter-
| view with the President recently, in which the
latter avowed his fixed determination to oppose
any measure Of general emancipation, or for
| arming confiscated slaves of rebels" This is
what might be expected from the antecedents
of Mr. Lincoln since his accession to Office, and
from the conscientious regard for his oath Of an
honest man. The operations of the army in the
field are one thing, and the conditions Of peace
are another Slaves in the service Of the enc.
