From The Baltimore American
We have had occasion to notice the fact that
when civil war fairly developed itself in all its
huge and frightful proportions, il had the effect,
temporarily, Of appalling the extremists Of the
North. who had done so much 10 bring It on
They became all at once tame, deferential 70
that universal public sentiment which, at one
time. manifested a purpose 10 take them to task
for their mischieVous deeds. For a brief period
the aroused and indignant loyalty of the land,
startled from its dreams Of perpetual peace,
glared around, as II uucertaln whether TO let
its vengeance alight upon secession or abo-
Gtion. or both, and when, At length, the hest
tstine and alarmed utterances of Charles
Sumner and his troupe, protesting their pati-
ote intentions, were admitted, the whole pariy
sbreAthed ireer and easier as tLey fell to work to
assimilate themselves, 1t possible, to the spirit Of
devotion 70 the country which prevailed. Slow
", defe1entiaily, they made their way TO the
front, and not content with being tolerated, they
speedily sought to dictate aud, 1t last, net con
tent with mere dictation they came 10 t%yrsnnisa.
They dominee1ed they insulted they assumed
to be the eonscience-keepsis OF President and
people and bringing the most vile and fanatieL
of their spouters to occupy the lecture rooms
of Washington, aud even 90 pollute tho capital
| itself. they dreamed OF q dominion not more
( vast in It's extent than that which, az
the other extreme, had dszzled the visions Of
Rhett and his followers, Aud SO proud aud con
| hdeut did they become at this epoch that they
made nothing Of insulting Congress, and badger
inc the President just as opportunity served
whilst the most daring of them, Ike Wendell
! Phillips aud Governor Andrew, were found alb
| solntelv defying the government out and cut,
unless it would abjectly lend itself to their IA
natical purpose. All mus remember-in this
| onnection-the speech Of Wendell Phillips al
Cincinnati, and the dictum Of Governor An
drew, as q condition upon which troops would
be furnished by Massachusetts, in certain con-
/ tingency.
Well, their reign has been very successful, all
these things duly considered, and their i~nsolence
has exactly kept pace with their success. Il
was nothing for them to loftily snUb the border
States, aud to d~enounce the Union men here
and in Kentucky, ns quite unworthy of being
listened to or trusted when, in Truth, the patri-
otism which has survived its fearful ordeal here,
all discerning men knew was SIS gold tried IN
the FIRE" And now, as everything, it IS said,
must have its day" SUmnerism seems to have
reached its elimination, seems to be threatened
once more with an eclipse.
Foolishly melting intrigues against the Army
of the Potomac, abolition forgot its old weak
ness in its temporary triumphs and giving the
Breckenridge Democracy q chance, which they
are glad to seize, to make their offensive follies
tell against them, their sins are reflected upon
the Union party, because Gs we have shown,
they have been permitted to bluster as iTs repre-
sentatives-tohieh they are not.
1t is true that the abolition faction begin to
show a ~glimmeTing Of returning sense begin
to recognize their own weakness. WA Dem
Ocrats will do them, since all may be lost IN
less concession is made, and Fernando Wood
be seated astride their shoulders, with the Union
men standing off disguised, and looking on. 10
this the extremists have been travelling in a cir
Gle, snd are becoming IS dOcile as they were be-
fore their high fantasies in storming the capital
with lecturers so many months ago. But Whist
= pity it is that the sins CT such are to be visited
to some degree upon the country, upon the
Union party proper, because matters were not
strsitened long ago.
There is = CLEAN of hope Notwithstanding ali
this. The late elections indicate clearly enough
that the extremists of both organizations are 10
be beaten, particularly when we see Mr.. Speak
er Grow left at home, IS the representative Of
one side, and the notorious YsllsndighGu get
ting his quietus, as the champion Of the other.
We have faith that the people will, in this mat
ter, come to the rescue, since they know that
compromise IS dissolution, 0jShonOr and ruin,
Give us mon, Their, no matter what their old
party associations have been, who are for fight
ing uGtil the rebellion is broken up who know
what is demanded BY the ezigeucies Of the
great occasion. Aud so long as Dickinson is
trf. IN Iue Empire State to oppose Fernando
Wood so long IS the people maintain their
present horror Of any Ps,ched-up peace, ard
the gallant regiments from there under such
men as CorcOran file through our streets on
their WGy 10 the battlefield. We need have lit
tie OF L. fears bat that out of all these attempted
complications for the benefit Of The denagog1es,
VIII come. in the end, safety. Rsdics.ism and
dislOyalty both need rebuking and, it is, psT
heps, for the good of the country that even at
such a time as this they should not escape.
Both have lone what they could to provoke it.
and both must be put doWn by the great masses
of the loyal of tbs land, il the country is to Be
saved.
