human race than any var which has taken
place since the dawn of creation, every
obstacle Of success should be promptly

One great obstacle in the way Of 4 com.
plete success is the liberation in our midst
of the publication and circulation Of treas
ouable Newspapers, which, not daring in
the loyal States. 10 advocate open Treason
and War against the General GoTeruueDt,
are eovertly seeking the same end by TO-
menting party prejudice against the Gov
eminent; enGeAVoring the excite alarm
about great National Debt and ruinous
taxation; TO bring the Government paper
| currency now in circulation into discrediI
and disrepute; advocating Peace upon any
terms by disgraceful compromise, and 10
various ways exciting opposition to the War
and steAlthily spreading spirit of disaf-
fiction amoug the peOple aud in the army,
aud poisoning the minds of both against the
Government; endeavoring to distract, di.

War, VIXEN the voice of reason is drowned
amid the elApgor of arms, when men form
