THERE WILL BE No DISSENT


Had the Government declared, at the outset
Of the Rebellion, its purpose to regard no loyal
person as rghtiully ensayed by traitor. no
one who pretended to be loyal would have
thought Of questioning the Legality or the policy
Of that position. Had il sustained Gen. Free
monts Proclamation TO that effect, no hearty
Tnionist would have minated serious dissent
And, now that it is manifest that the use of
the slaves OF Rebels TO put down the Rebellion
must aud will be boldly ayowed and thoroughly
prosecuted, all loyal opposition is being sud
denly hushed. Here is timely letter from
that conservative and compromising veteran
the Editor of The Albany EreniHg Journal:
