MISCELLANEOUS.
Northern COwardice ami Southern
Loyalty.

Wonders never cease. Constant remind
ers show the American people how
"Naugt endure but mutability"
John Van Buren, the free solier, goes
about the State of New York like party
Jester, whining for peace and imploring the
outraged loyalty of the nation to cringingly
say to the treaSon-Stained and blood-crim-
soned rebel States, wayward sisters, go in
peace" Horatio Seymour, Fernando Wood,
James Brady, Isaiah Ryndcrs, and masses
of the roughs and fighting men of the New
York Democracy, many Of whom are refu-
gees from the oppression of England, join
hands with white livered conservatives like
James Brooks, and this precious set devote
their days and nights to the most abject
cowardice and trucking to traitors in arms
while with glee they proclaim every lying
word spoken against the Union by the
British press. o! days of shame Where
now are the bravocs who once thought the
United States ought to nave " fifty-four
forty or fght?" Where are those heroes
who thought we ought to steel Cuba and
whip Spain if she said word? Where are
the idolators of 6 Manifest Destiny?'' Why
they are pretending to shake in their shoes
because they fancy Spain is angered at the
burning of a ship on the coast Of Cuba by
an American commander They are reit-
Grating every contemplate fling of the Lon
don Times at our Chief Magistrate! They
pretend to be awe-struck at the power of
the traitors who are now attempting to OBJ
literate the stars and stripes from the flags
OF the nations! Yes, while the Republic is
bleeding at every pore from the assaults of
traitors, and when every true man in the
country is barring his right arm in her de-
fence, they are here, within the shadow of
Independence Hall, under the leadership OF
their g Chairman of the Committee on Town
Meetings." closing their eyes to their bleed
ing country and insulted flag, and are de.
nOuncing, like Beauregard, the "Abolition.
ht'." They have betrayed our soldiers al
the polls, and gathered their forces to re
peat the cowardly stab in the back in New
York, New Jersey, and wherever they ge
an opportunity. Their most distinguished
lawyers, instead of raising their voices fo
the perpetuity of the Union and the punish
ment of crime, are stealthily moving off t.
Fort Warren, to attempt to let loose upor
the country suspected traitors. Instead o
aiding loyal men at the South to regail
their rights, they are attempting to "righ
the wrongs" Of justly punished spies ant
traitors; instead of comforting the affiicte
soldiers in the hospitals, they are in the cell
of ffelons, pouring the balm of consolatio
into the ears of those who tried to destro
their country.
But, on the other hand, while the Brecl
inridgers of the North are deaf to the voic
of their country, see how nobly the 10y;
refugees of the South put them to shame
A few days ago these brave victims
Southern oppression held a meeting in tn
Cooper Institute, New York Addresst
were made by Hon. A. J. Hamilton,
Texas; the Rev. w. b. Carter, of Tenn.
L. j. Boynton, Esq, of Fla. and the Rev
Mr.. Hoye, of Miss.
The orators announced that at NEE
