ThreatenItins OF Rebellion I'm The

ThreatenIugs OF Rebellion In the North.
Another great curse Of the Administration has
been It's leniency to rebels. The volunteer feels
degraded, when posted at the door Of traitor TO
protect his property and his life. He bushes,
and his arm is unnerved when his General flat
ters, courts and protects those whose hearts and
purses are in the rebellion. And when he loses
an arm or leg or is so emaciated by disease as
to be unfit for service, he comes home, and he
tells The shameful story to his neighbors, that,
above all other errors dampens the ardor of the
faithful citizen.
II strikes us that the administration, knowing,
its errors and the serious effect they have had
upon the popular mind may have sought the
appeal of the Governors of the States to give
greater effect and weight TO the demand for an
other army. Owing to the benevolent interfer-
ence ofthe State Governments in behalf of their
volunteers, those disposed to enter the service
naturally have more confidence in them than in
| the National Administration.
| There is another and more serious view of the
case. An army may be required IN very short
time TO pa, do1r, another rebellion after he pres

The readers of the Times will free us from the
imputation of being alarmists, though constantly
putting the people on their guard. We were
among the first to warn the people to prepare for
the present rebellion and subsequent events JUS

bleeding country has certainly fallen upon evil
times, and is passing through the era of conrpir-
acies. We are reaping the awful and bloody
harvest of long years of political corruption and
GoD only knows when the fearful work will end
1t is well known that the Southern conspiracy
| had its branches all through the Northern States.
The Northern conspirators were bold and de-
fiant until the mighty uprising of the people
crushed them TO the earth. Vehemently did
they cry out against coercion, and hold the

i Many of these Northern conspirators fled to
! the South, and are in the rebel service. Others
! played the spy, and have time and again betray-
| ed our armies. Bright, who, after the fall of
Sumter, declared he could raise more soldiers for
the rebel cause in Indiana than he could for the
Lincoln Government, was suffered to remain in
the Senate during the most critical period of the
rebellion; and leading bold, audacious sympathi-
zers still hold their seats in Congress.
These men never were, never will be- loyal 10

They have again thrown of the cloak, and
speak boldly. They take the position of restor-
ing tho Union as it was" which means the ad-
grafton OF treason and nothing else. In their
public speeches, they exhibit the same sentiment
and the same spirit that characterized the seces-
sion party in the South at the commencement of
the rebellion. Everything must be sacrificed
TO the institution OF slavery, and he who does
not agree to the sacrifice, is an Abolitionist DO
itically, socially, and eternally accursed. AS
in the secession movement these declarations,
and the audacious spirit with which they are
hurled, are the SYMPTOMS of an armed organiza-
ton as yet hidden from sight
IN fact, one esten Governor has publicly an
nounced the existence of such organizations in
his State, and warned the people against all con-
neetiou with it. fthis be true, and it is our
most solemn conviction that tits, the organiza-
tion extends through all the States. The next
movement, as at the South, will be to carry the
election by force of arms To take possession of
the polls, and through armed mobs forbid a fair
expression, and by such means force against the
VIII ofthe people, class of men into the Con-
gress OF the United States who will sell Govern
ment, Constitution, Union and all, to the doubly
damned traitors ofthe South. Or, falling in that,
produce general state of anarchy throughout
the whole country.
1t is our opinion that such a conspiracy is in
! existence that ii is known to the leaders of the
Pie7cli' reDelilOll VINO are thus induced to pro-
long the war until after the fall elections; and we
think It not unlikely that the Governors of the
loyal States are convinced of the necessity of
preparing for the eXgency. Three hundred
thousand more men are not required to suppress
the Southern rebellion. The present army pro-
perly managed, is large enough for that good
work, but great work may be required, and
that shortly, to crush out another conspiracy,
more internal, and intended to be more bloody.
We have given the warning 1t is for the peo-
pie who love country more than party. peace
above war, to think and act
These are indeed serious times The perma-
nency of the Republic depends on the vigilance
OF every loyal citizen, and he who fails TO exer-
else that vigilence, is an obstacle in the preser-
walton OF his own liberties. More than ever does
anarchy stare us in the face.
