rT- Gov Andrew, of Mass said in New York
the other day that the Government should not
have man from his State until change in the
command of the army was effected. So says the
Boston Courier.
Is not that treason of the rankest kndl 1t is
stated upon the streets but we will not vouch for
its correctness, that Gov. MORTON has SAID that
not another soldier should leave Indiana unless
some demands he has made upon the War De
partment are complied with. IL this be true, is
not such position rank dsloyalty?
Ii Governor MoRToS has the right to set up his
will against the General Government. has not
every other citizen equal authority to determine
whether be will obey the acquisitions of the Gov
eminent upon him. unless the war is conducted
to meet his notions. aud the Generals appointed
whom he thinks should command our armiess
Are not Governors ANDREW and MoRToS CARRYING
out the extreme Southern State rights doctrine,
which they have so earnestly condemned. and
which is the straight pathway to secessionismi
When the Governors of States attempt TO coerce
the Federal Government to pursue policy they
may dictate. assuming powers delegated to the
United States Government by the States. it is as
much an act OF rebellion as the refusal of the
seeding States to reorganze and yield to the
National authority.

The Journal Of yesterday. referring to those
who favored a dissolution of the Union before the
war began, SAYS:
That sentiment may have been rubbed out OF
them in the rough contact OF battle. but no man
Who has held IL should be trusted with any
duty that affects the life and power of the Gov

That sentiment was held by the editor of the
Journal and its adherents during the fall OF ls60
and the winter of ls6O-6l In evidence thereof
We quote the following from that paper:

Freedom OF Political Action.
re New York World saws:


Grave apprehensions have arisen. within the
last day or two, of an attempt to stife political
discussion and suppress that perfect freedom of
political action which the people of this country
have always heretofore enjoyed. and without
which the form of popular elections would be a
bitter aud degrading mockery 1t is incredible
that we are in any such danger II is incredible
that the Government would mediate, or that
manly and courageous people would for a single
day submit TO any abridgement of the freedom
OF elections, or OF the free canvassing necessary
for placing the questions in issue fairly before the
people. The American people would dishonor
their manhood and their lineage il they were
capable OF supposing these rights in serious dan
ger. We all know. from sympathy with each
other. that before these rights can lie crushed
among people trained We have been. every
street in our towns. and every valley and hillside
cultivated by our hardy yeomanry would run
with the blood OF determined men.
Ii Is true there are some few craven and some
lew passes among Us possessing no proper sense
OF the inestImable value OF this right. Those
who would tolerate the suppression Of free
speech. even in seiitious fanatic like Wendell
Phillips. are not sufficiently in sympathy with the
great American heart 10 understand that the right
about whose infringement they talk with such
hlppancy can never be in any real danger in this
country. IL is only men of feeble courage and
a feeble sense OF justice that can have an appre
hension on this score. All other American cit
gems know that they will exercise this inalienable
right. There IS not hemp enough on the CONT
nent 10 ang half Of those who will always ex
press their opinions freely rs they breathe the
air. There need be no fears that freedom OF 20
litical action is in any real danger from Govern
ment Interference.

One of the rebel Generals. upon paroing some
of the Union soldiers in Kentucky. told them to
ego home and vote the Republican ticket"
Whyr inquired one Of the paroled soldiers. In
reply the rebel officer stated that the only hope
the South had for securing its independence was
in the Republican party maintaining its control
Of the Federal Government. His idea was this:
Under certain contingencies the Republicans
would consent to a separation of the States.
They wouId be willing to let the rebel States
go" it they could not succeed in subjugating
them and freeing their slaves. On the other hand.
all the Democratic Conventions in the North
ern States had taken decided and strong ground
against the dissolution of the Union under any
circumstances. and If the Democratic party was
restored to power. il would adhere undeviatingly
TO a restoration Of the Union. For these reasons
the rebels desire the supremacy Of the Republi-
can party in the Government, and ,hey Influenced
the rebel General to advise the parolei Union
soldiers TO vote the Union ticket"

From de Montreal Gazett,

We repeat, we can see that it will give an oh
ject 10 the war much more definite than the pre-
tence which has hitherto characterized IL, and
which would excite foreign sympathy, il clear
way could be seen to the end. As We said. yes
terdav, think one of its objects is to appeal to
foreign sympathy on the question OF slavery so as
To prevent the recognition of the independence of
the South by the great Powers of Europe. The
fact of It's appearing as three months notice
gives rise TO this belief. We are also the more
inclined to question the motives which have
prompted it because it comes from men who. at
the beginning of the contest, were so liberal in
their offers to Shareholders liberal beyond the
point of selfreSpect, if they would only not Sc
cede. Ii comes just before the fall elections. and
must exercise a decisive influence upon them. IL
would appeal more TO foreign sympathies if il
recognized emancipation as a natural right OF
man, instead OF punishment for secession, while
the protection of slavery is in the same breath
offered, as reward for obedience 10 the Federal
Constitution. Its effect on the South will no
doubt be to embitter the war: to place before the
