Northern T'Rsrs.
Bold Talk at The North.


The New York Times make:
an admission that we had hardly
expected from such "a quarter
when it says; "Another. year may
see anarchy and civil war extend
ed even through the7Free States
and the Southern Confederacy tn
umphant aud unassailable."
The same issue of the Times, the
31st ult., quotes the following pas
sages from speeches lately made in
that city by supporters of the Sey.
mour ticket. though it does not
name the speakers:
II am going to Washington, and
when / reach there l will 60 to the
President. | will tell him that
without change of measures, 50
help me God, we will have a
change of men.
Hear another prominent Sey-
mourlte:
"If we elect Seymour, we in
tend to have this cursed war stopped
instantly, whether Lincoln agrees
to it or not, and if we carry the
next House of R representatives. we
will have it together OH the 4th of
March next at Washington, wheth-
er the President calls it or not
This infamous war on our South
em brethren shall come to an end.
The New York World, of the
same date boldly declares:
eve have seen, one after anoth-
er, our most precious liberties
insolently trampled upon; our most
sacred rights made the plaything
of petty tyrants dressed in a little
brief authority. We, have been
called TRAITORS for exercising the
function of reason, and sympathi-
.sers "with rebellion" for denoun-
cling the imcapac,ty of those who
have suffered rebellion to riot in
victory. But there is a limit to
everything The sleeping lion
in this case is no fiction; nor has
he ever really been asleep. The IL
on has been patient because he
has been deceived" -
OF Lincoln's emancipation Proc
lamation the same Journal says
1--WE repeat our statement that
the emancipation proclamation is
a virtual confession Of inability to
conquer the South by fair fighting.
1t is a disgraceful acknowledge
ment of military weakness made by
an administration that is welding
(allowance being made for the ma
w, open ports, = superior wealth,
and mechanical skill) quadruple
the military resources of the South
and finds itself overmatched -
There is no more humiliating
spectacle in history than this exhl-
bition of moral abjectness.-
While the administration had
hope of success by legitimate war
fare it never thought of emanci-
nation. But it was at last made
to believe that there is no other
way to succeed-a pusillanimous
conclusion which bears the same re-
lation to real vigcr that MIR. Chase 5
shinplasters do to real money"
We find in the same copy of the
World q letter from Charles o.
Conner, the distinguished orator
and intrepid politician, written in
favor of James Brooks, of the Ex-
press, to Congress, that gentleman
being a candidate for the Sth de-
strict. Mr.. O'Conner says:
"Three unconstitutional and des-
potic acts have been before the
American people for about thirty
days receiving Judgment. One
threatens to subvert existing social
relations in the South; the other
two, by their purport, at once and
Immediately consign to bondage, at
the footstool of an arbitrary and
irresponsible power, all the inhab- i''te
itants of the North. Our whole
community, men, women and chill
dren, whelmed in one common
doom. The. calm speech and
measured pace of age, the gay con,
verse and light step of jocund
youth, must alike fall into accord
