ton party is composed mainly Of d.sci-
piles of the puIitaus and students of
French red rcpublicanism but the per-
sonal bravery which distinguished, though
it could not redeem, the cruel excesscs Of
the Roundheads and the red republicans,
is altogether omitted in the character Of
an abolitionist. The abolilionst would
have blood but he is not man enough to
shed it in fair fight as did CromwelPs
bigols and the heroes of the barricades-
The aboiilionisls demand that the hearth
stones Of the South be desolated with fire
and sword, and denOunce General Nc.

Of their own in battles fol the Union
They prefer rather the safe carnage of the
pen or the rOstrum, ard war only upon
tn ose whose sex or position makes retail
alton impossible. Our abolition party Of
blood is composed of such men as those
who manged the dead bodies of Marie
Antonetto, Madame Roland and Char

them by attacking mothers, wives and

TREASON AND PRAYINc.-Gn the dis,
patches from Washington, as published
in the abolition paper of this city occur
two paragraphs Of startling significance
They read thus:
lst. A clergyman who refused to read a
prayer for the President was arrested to-
day.
Arrested for wha}? Arrested because

opinions hostile to the policy of the Pres.
dent. Now look at the other:
ID DR.. Cheeyer preached on the inyir
tation OF forty Congressman, to a crowded
audience in the House of Representatives
to-day. He likened the slave States to !
HerOd's wife, and the border States tcI
Horodas, who danced before the King at
the White House, and made him promise
to give what she wanted. Shall tho price
OF their loyalty be paid? Shall slavery
bo left untouched? were his questions.
On tho same day, and at the same hour
that the officers Of Justice were Selling
and hurrying to prison, rs q dangerous On. |

Dr. Chocver was preaching in the Nation. /
al Hall, and likenng that same President
to lleiod, who, through his rash promise |
to dancing girl, had sacrificed the life of
the Baptist. Our tastes and opinions, .
may differ from those of other persons. but
we cannot refrain from saying that ether
