MAN P SPEAK OR DIE" /
We cali the particular attention of the

following article. 1t is from the leading or

calling DI. kingsley an A5olitiouist''
DISGUISED TREASON.

The evidence accumulates that there is'a
| party in the North, small though it may be,
| which has all along sympathized with trea-
son all the tune rejoiced in everything un-
favorable to the success OF the Federal arms,
all the time afforded what aid and comfort
il dared to the couse ofdisunion. This par
" hasits leaders aud its organs, both claim
ing to be for the Union, that they may carry
out their plans without being suspected. 1t
does not desire the destruction Of the Union
for its own sake, any more han Davis, or
Toombs, or Yancey does. II is a party
which hopes, through a united South and
divided North, to control the destinies Of
this country. In order to unite the South
and divide the North IL Is q pro stucery par
ty. Judging from the past it expects to
succeed in the future by dividing Northern
counscls. The party correctly judges that
on account Of certain commercial relations
there will always be a class of Northern
people who will sympathize with slavery,
because in SO doing they will make more
money that this will he an influential class
ON account Of its wealth and locations in the
a great cities. Hence, tho party has resolved
Ito bow down to slavery and worship thii
heather god. II is a fundamental doctrin,
= with them that slavery must be preserved
perpctuated, extended, and whatever is OPP
posed to slavery must fall. If the UnioI
Q can be made serviceable to the slave inter
A est, why then il is all right; if not, it is al
y wrong. Ii a man is Internationally for tn,
o Union all the time, whether slavery survive
or perisbes, he must be denounced as an al
n olitionist, a believer in the social equality o
a the races. This party will be u peace part
or war party just as will subserve the intel
y ests Of slavery. While the North is like
l. to crush the treason Of the South it will
"a a peace party, because slavery will suff,
if the rebels are subdued on their wi sol
But If there should arise o likelihood that
10 foreign war would cause several powerf
,s- European nations to take sides with the re
to els against the Union, then the voice of Il
I people will be for war.

re- This same party, knowing that a stupe
dous war cannot be carried on witbo
money, and that the money can not be h
a@ without taxation, will raise a great hue a
pW cr, about fayaa A prnfasaal rpuor1
", the dear people will be the cloak of their
bv cret treason. Losses and revorses on I
~ part of the loyal army will be paraded so
iau to be as dishcarteniDg as possible. In sho
ect whatever is best calculated to sweep frt
md the earth the vilest rebellion the earth e,
tad saw, will be condemned by the party, a
all that will aid and abet the treason will
ceive open or covert support. Knowing Il
me slavery is the very life and soul OF the
les, bellion, they manifest more anxiety for
mr.. safety than for the preservation of the I'M
itself. This party will DO the first to sugg
10 and support the most humiliating and {
ju- graceful compromise. 1t will urge that
must concede more than has yet been G
an coded to slavery.
7 he country is noto IN more danger,
lin our humble opinion, from this purity n
on from those ,pho openly apow Their pusI
INKS Of tearing tho Republic 10 pieces. For, wi
,.., the latter boldly proclaim their unwaver
~ purpose, we know where TO find them;
. he former, by fair professions, seek to dec
lie, those they intend to betray. The man W
and at this date, after all that has transpiret
open the eyes Of our people to the unspe
lua- able wickedness of the slave power, does
cot openly and abroad prefer the preserva
an Of the Union to the preservation of slav,
lends all his influence on the side Of the
bcllion.
