aAVEWE TRAITORS AMONG Usi

It has lust leaked out that a petition pray
ING for the entire abolition of slavery through
out the United States, has been secretly cir
culated in our city for signatures, for several
DAYS. One Of the faithful held the petition,
while another hunted up signers by getting
them excited at the atrocity OF the rebellion,
and at the shareholders as the cause of 1t ;
when, if be thought his subject was all right,
and he could be trusted with the secret, he
was marched of to headquarters and asked to
---sign'
The right of petition has always been re-
garded as sacred one, but in these times,
when our government is struggling for e1ls-
tence, and when the agitation Of that ques-
ton is weakening the hands Of the loyal men
in the border states and strengthening the
rebellion by enabling its leaders to keep up
the delusiou in the minds OF their followers,
that this war is nothing "but a John Brown
raid on magnificent scale All such acts
are reasonable in effect, if not in intent, and
their authors belong in Fort Lafayette as rich.
" as the traitors themselves.
1t is INDUSTRIOUS that few crazy-hcaded alb
olitionists should get up their secret petitions
and have them presented to congress thus
creating the impression that such are tn
sentiments of S respectable number Of our peo
ale, while everybody knows that one tourt
the efforth the effort would get up remon
STRANGE from our loyal people which woul'
oonsign such petitions to utter insignitcanc
and intamy.
1t is time for loyal men to lay aside thei
lethargy in such matters, and we are happ
to hear that arrangements have been mad
to procure a copy of the petition alluded to
for publication, US soon as presented, so tina
our people may know who among us al
thrusting this frebrand into the coniIagratio
which is threatening our very existence, 81
then determine what action should be take
to counterfeit their malign influence.
