ecutlve hrandh ot tlie 0ovefnTnent also has
issued Z solemn Siteuiat q Foreign nations
setting forth that the war was not to inter
fere with the domestic relations of the
States, and that after it closed, slavery, as
one Of the institutions of the States in re-
bellion, would remain Just in the position
it held before hostilities commended No !
the threat is not for failure 70 restore the
Union, but for closing the rebellion SO as
I" 70 gigs slqperya a neiO lease Of Ve!"
That is the : result n Ii slavery be per-
petuated, no matter if that be the only
terms upon which the Union can Be pre-
served, then the North must be Z desolated
with civil war !" "Letthe Union slide :"
if necessary slavery must perish at any
consequence la sga ya4 1 t.ia. 't"'
Can it be that such doctrines are advo-
Gated by those claiming TO be patriots ?
who call themselves, (" unconditional UuiOn
men," and fling the epithet of " traitor "
/ ~ bNefJ OHo WHO iIOkft Ittcth III Po-
litical sentiments Il? And can it be that we
are threatened with civil iCar if we do not
sacrifice all our dearest interests in this
Government for the sake Of the negro /?
These things are hard to believe, and we
could not believe them had we not the ev-

Let us look at the advice given in, and
the spirit of the second paragraph. Ger
tain papers ought 10 te suppressed" "by
the personal efforts of the people Of their
respective cities !" For what? We are
left to infer for advocating what is de-
nOunced in the preceding part of the ar
ticle-i.s o. restoration oflhe Union, gih
the continuance of sl4beryl 1t is no crime
we believe to advocate any measure ofpub-
lie policy in print or out OF it. No; and no
legal punishment is here threatened; .bnt
the wild irresponsible action of mobS is to
be called up to crush out those who differ
in politics. Again, the same story, re-
peated over and over by the Republican
press, the same in Wisconsin as in Ohio,
mob law is invoked and threatened
Where Abolitionism reigns there the
laws must be silent, liberty abolished
property destroyed and life put inperil
Nothing is tolerated by, nothing is sacred
before, that fell spirit Of fanaticism and
discord, which having taken possession o.
/ the minds of men dries up the fountains
Of honor and justice and humanity il
I their breasts, and which, having broodet
: with dark wings over eur beloved country
/, has rendered it one wild scene Of desola
tion and woe Ii'a by. -'''' ''
The Register says it ''well knows" 0
! what it is talking and puts in the tyrant'i
. plea of neesssity--''the exigencies of tn
times demand these measures" Does i
ls,.'well know the result which would fol

had down this way a practical application

le, he. too, is mistaken now, if he beliey
