The sudden effect produced among
some of he ablest and most euSittesS
ed sf the ndicals, by the late brief
teply of The President. to Horsce Gree
ley's address, in the name Of twenty
millions Of people, Is one Of the remsr-
kable signs Of the times. These pee
pie have, for nine months, been crea-
ting the impression that those who
talked about the restoration of the
Union, without the destruction of sla-
very, were traitors in disguise. All
the penny whistle AbolitiOnists took
up this key,nOte,, and played upon It, |
upon all occasions, up until the. ap-
pearance Of the Presidents late com
mupicatiOn. When Wei in eurhunble
way, ventured to express the opinion
that the war should be conducted for
the maintenance of the constitution
and the restoration of the Union, bla>
tant, abolitionism Immediately said,
''Thatmeans bringing jeff Davis back
to the Senate" How many scores of
times has the Gazette and its white
eyed and sickH complicated followers
"screamedo out sympathy with traitors
when one was heard to express more
concern for the Union than he did for
abolitionism? Slavery is the cause of
the war, these fanatics reiterated, and
it must be first put down, let what
may follow. When moderate men
eontended for the prosecution of the
war simply for the crushing out of the
rebels, letting slavery take its chances
of annihilation with everything else
which stood in the way of our success,
the fanatics cried out sympathy with
slavery" In short, the unfortunate
man who was not mere abolitionist,
looking to the:simple question of the
destruction of slavery and nothing
else, was o man to be watched as being
dangerous to the government, and mas
ny a one was. watched accordingly
IF these fanatics we're susceptible Of
shame, they would, after the publica-
ton of the Presidents rebuke to the
insolence of Greeley, have issued q
call for convention of their numbers
and appointed a committee of athletic
contrabands to inAict personal chas.
tisen ent upon each Of their miserable
bodies. After all the mischief they
have done, they should make voluntary
atonement. Read the following lines
from Old Abe's rejoider to the Aboli-
ton Chief: e.a s@sa.t ae saas
my paramount object is to save the Union
and not either to save or destroy slavery
How many times have Democrats
and Democratic Conventions been aes
cused of disloyalty for the expression
of this very sentiment? Still, aftel
sixteen months experience, the head
of the nation has to adopt it as tn,
only way to save this Union from ut
ter destruction. ~5s.
Our object was to show the senti
ment in high quarters since the appear

New York Evening Post, confessedly
, the ablest of the radicalpress, furnish

: provincial papers of its party, in
!. late article, commences in this way:
sThe President is entitled to the grs titud

The Evening Post here falls in along
side with the President, and gives 9Th

The allusion to the "discontented Den

look upon slavery with such "sacret
