the fact that West Virginia has never yet
even pretended TO acquiesce in Seces'lon-that
East Tennessee voted and stood for the Union
until, isolated from all Union support, she was
hodden under the foot of soldiery foreign to
her soil-that after Thousands Of them have
been butchered aud tens Of thousands have
fed, our armies still find Unonists in every
State-that the Black population of the South,
nearly Four Millions in number, are found
spontaneously, enthusiastically for the Union,
and ready to do and dare in its de-
fepse-that tens Of thousands Of White citizens
in New. Orleans, Memphis, &C., have lately
renewed their allegiance to the United States
and that the overthrow of Slavery in any
State or district is there practically the over
throw of the Rebellion. Were Slavery dead

THE WAR

Border State men do not share the tender solicit
tude of Northern Seymour Democrats about confe-
eating the property OF notorious Rebels. Tbs Union
men of Kentucky are greatly dissatisfied because
the Government does moi authorize contribution
10 be levied upon wealthy Secessionists to prevent
The starvation of the loys people of the mountains
and border counties, who have been stripped Of
everything by the raids Of Morgan, Bragg, Smith
g. Co.
Stirring events may soon be heard of along the
Mississippi Between IS 600 and $4,000 troops have
passed down the river witnin the last two weeks to
Memphis aud Helena--Inost of them to the former.
Il is understood that Gen. SherDan, at present ID
Memphis, will cooperate with Gen. Grant, now
moving against the enemy in Mississippi.
There is great activity on Governors Island
and at all the 70 tiication IN this harbor. Immense
guns ammunition, &c., are collected, and prepara

Tennessee have an Independent value, no doubt,
Init they were meant 70 be also the base from
which to annex the territory lying next north
of Mason and Dixon's line. Southern Indiana
and Illinois are largely settled from the South.
They are attached to it by old memories, BY
family connections by sympathies; in meas.
IRE by interests Such ties are never without
influence on political action. 1t concerns US to
be careful that, in the progress OF the war;
we lose no hold which we rightfully have end
can retain upon these sections. Not until the
control Of the Mississippi is finally reposed In
the hands of the Federal Government can we
be sure that all the people of these States vii
see clearly that their interests and their 10y
atty are identical, not opposite. They laughed
Mt the proclamation of Bragg, because it was
based on no military success. If it bad been
issued from camp north of tho Ohio, it
might have met different reception.
But while the Mississippi is essential to the
North. West, and the restoration OF its South
ern markets not less so, the possession oil
tho river il of the utmost consequence
as one means to the speedest extinction
of the Rebellion; not only to the conquest OF
tue rebellions States but to the prevention OF
the spread of armed resistance beyond their
borders, and TO the capture or annlhllatlon OF
the Rebel armies. Especially for this purpose
tho western bank is valuable. With that
wholly in our possession, it would in the flrst
place render navigation secure by the help oil
telegraph communication aud OF the fleets OF
gunboats which we are nearly ready to launch
on its waters More than this, The river would
then become the impossible barrier beyond
which the Rebellion could neither extend nor
escape. Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana
are already nearly overrun that their com
pete snbjugat,on is work oil no long
time. Texas becomes at once unable
10 retain its connection with q Government
from which it is territoriay separated and the
Union cause gathers strength OF iiseIi-nceds

schemes of couquest aud annexation OF Mexico
and Of the States which border the Gull. tall
helplcssly to pieces, and there is lef: to the
Rebels no longer the hope Of refuge which Texas
aud Mexico have hitherto held out. The eastern
bank may be regained at leisure, if tue western
is inyiucby Lcd while the Rebel armies in the
East are shattered. Aud when once the Fedc-
raj power il VIGOROUSLY established on BON
banks aud along the whole course of The MlS'
sissippi, i, must be plain even to Rebel obst'-
loacy and blindness, that the erection OF an H.
dependent scuthern Confederacy las ceased to
be possible.

trusted, Consider that any day may decide
the fate of the Nation and that we have
reached a crisis when a withdrawal of conf
dence from the Nations rulers is but ono stei'
from National ruin.
If Mr.. Seymour were required to state dis
tinctly what he means by his impeachment, he
would probably point to the arrests of suspected
traitors which have been made on the Presi-
dents order, md the denial to the arrested OF
the privilege of the writ of babeas corpus
That some of these arrests have been uDneces-
sary and mistaken, we long ago asserted; that
the President ever ordered an arrest to DO
made wantonly and wickedly, Mr.. Seymour
cannot believe. The indictment, stripped OF
rhetorical exaggeration, amounts to this: At
time when the whole land is honey combed
with treasOn-when agents and allies OF the
Rebels daily traverse the loyal States, spying,
Communicating with their fellows. purchasing
needed supplies for the Rebel armies, and dis
patching messengers and letters TO Richmond
and other Rebel strongtolds almost daily, some
three or four hundred persons have been ar
rested and detained few days or even weeks
upon suspicion of reasonable practices, OF
whom q dozen may not have been guilty. and
many more WHO were really giving aid ana
comfort to the enemy could not be convicted
of the crime.
Is this matter on which to impeach an
Administration IN times like those Suppose a

suspicon-whut of il For our own part We feel
that if the President could, by putting Us in
Fort Lafayette and keeping us There. with five
hundred more Ike us, purge the loyal States
of traitor emissaries and thereby hasten by q
single month tho overthrow Of the Rebellion,
we should joyfully be So imprisoned, aud would
not ask for q habeas corpus. We should be
glad. at such small cost, TO contribute to The
discontinue of the most stupendous crime o.
our century.
Is this surrcndering Liberty Is it over
riding the Constitution To our mind, JUS
the contrary 1t IS the triumph of the Rebel
Ion that threatens Liberty, not Of few por
sons Tor few days, but oil our country iOi
many years. And the Constitution, where II
says that d" the privilege OF the writ OF habea'
corpus shall not be suspended unless when, II
cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety
muy sequire it," clearly implies that 1t may be
suspended in such cases. Such suspension II
not, then, overriding the Constitution: 1t II
aulho.zed and justified by the Constitution
And while we agree with most who hav,

should be authorized by Congress when prAcu

We receive letters from British friends ap-
pealing to us, in behalf OF the Peace principles
we cherish, for our influence in favor Of a close
of our terrible Civil War, and wondering why
we are so hostile 70 Mediation or Intervention
in behalf Of Peace To these. We here make
brief answer:
We are not opposed TO Mediation, nor even
to Arbitration. Ii to-day thoroughly upright,
capable, intelligent, impartial arbiier could be-

tween the Inion,t, aud the Rebels could be-

would not have dolc 10.

and then ask TO be considered impartial arbi-
ters 10 be employed for is peaceful adjustment.
We, on the other hand, mnlntain that the
Rebellion is the work Of an ambitious oigarchy
and its satellites who we've never d majority
of tie People of the South-that they were
fairly voted down in the conventional elections
Of the Slave States during the Winter OF
I5GO-l-that they did not venture, even in
South Carolina, to submit the Ordinance Of
Secession to a vote Of the Ie0pe-tbat the
Unionists had no fair hearing in view Of those
proceeding violence, denunciatioD, incnaces
and opprobriOus epithets produced what was
called Secession, whereby the great majority OF
those who seemed to unite in The proceedings
meant nothing moreihan TO bully the Free states,
and especially the Republican, party into new
concessions and guarantee to Slavery. Such
were tbs object and end of the great
minority Of nominal Secessionsts, While the
Unionists of the Slave States Outnumbered all
their opponents down TO the hour wherein the
traitors, in order to compel at least an outward
adhesion to their standard, plunged tue country
into civil war.
"Bat you don't deny that majority of the
Southern People are nOio partisans OF Secession 7"
Yes we do deny it. We know well that
Southern Unionists were shot like wolves aud
hung like dogs for months after the lombard
