WHAT MUST WE SUPPORT?

But you say "unanmity of support is es-
sential to the very life of the nation.'' -
Support of what? Laws and acts subvertive
of the Government? Laws and acts in di-
rect and palpable contravention of the Con-
stitution? Laws and acts outside of the
Constitution? Laws and acts outside Of the
Constitution? Wherein the fundamental
law of the Government, the Constitution,
does the President, one of the administra-
tors Of the Supreme Law, 6nd his authori
ty for emancipation proclamation? Where
for his usarpation of the power to suspend
the habeas corpus? Where for the con6s-
cation acts? Where for his authority to ar
rest and incarcerate citizens2 These are all
acts of the Administration, not of the
Government; they are acts subsersive cf the
Government; acts that are 'paralyzing and
are undermining the Government; acts
that are dividing the people of the North +,
alarming them for the safety of the Consti-
tuition, the Government, and arousing them
to call their servants, the Administrators,
to account.
1t is on such confouudng of terms as this,
of government a7d Administration, that YOU
charge "extreme and radical purposes" up.
on those who rally in support Oh the Gov
ernment.
You must excuse me, dear sir, if say
that your letter, to so great an extent based
upon the popular fsllacies Of the day, is it
self proof of the necessity of just such a
Society as we have formed; because If minds
like yours, ,in tellIgent reflective, ingenious,
and Conscientious are so much at fault on
the fundamental principles of our institu-
tions what must bs inferred of the mind:
of others less intelligent, who imbibe theiI
opinions, and mould their actions. from the
prejudiced aud befogged intellects con-
trolling the fanatical avenues to public

By the manner to which you allude to
the "extreme radicalism and intidelity of
the Garrison stamp" l am glad to find we
have a common stand point from which to
view a portion of the field. Look at that
dark conctave of conspirators, freedom
shriekers, Bible-spuners, fierce, implacable,
headstrong, denunciatory. Constitution and
U Union haters, ncisy. factious. breathing forth
threatening and laughter against all who
venture difference of opinion from them,

sonments and hangings. bloodthirsty-a

found in the vocabulary of wickedness, 90

maury on the Pence Movement.
II. 8. Maury. the rebel agent in England,
has written letter to the London Tines, in
which he thus gives his views Of the Peace
movement. After enumcratlng the prospects
OF the South, he Gays:
Othert agents hare to be called into play.
What arc theys Let u8 inquire. They are,
divisions in the camp ot the enemy, disscn-
sions among the people Of the North. There
Is already peace party there. All the en-
ba,rassments with which .that party can sur
rourd Mr. Lincoln. and all the difficulties that
It can throw in the Way Of the War party IN
and comfort to the South.
. As an offset, then, against the tide Of mill
tary reye1ses which IN tho first weeks Of July
ran 50 strong ogafnst the Sonth, and from
which our friends in England seem to have
not recovered, let us look to those agencies
progress has been nade on the road to peace,
and consequently In our favor, notwithstand-
Ing these military reverses.
Notwithstanding these, the war is becom-
Ing more and more unpopular In the North.
IN proof Of this point to the conduct Of the
Pcnnsylvanians during Lees invasion of that
State, to the riots In New York, to the organ
lied resistance to the war in Ohio, and to
other circumstances with which the English
pnhlic have been made acquainted BY the
newpapcr presa.
:: New: York is threatening armed resistance
to the Federal Governments. New York IL
becoming the champion Of States rights in
the North, and to that extent Is taking South
en ground. Mr. Lincoln has not on1y judged
It expedient to unmuzzle the press in New
YORK., and deemed it prudent to give vent to
free spcech there, but he is evidently afraid to
enforce the CONSUMPTION in the Empire State.
The Conscrfptiou act itself, moreover seems
to be so abortive throughout Yankee-laud
generally, that he cannot now muster forces
enough to follow up his July successes.
Va1landigham wits and watchessoyar the
border, pleaged-if elected Governor Of the
State Of Ohio--to array 1t against Llnro1n and
cult Of the election there will be cannot
tell; bnt the canvuss is going Oh, and ne
know that opposition to Lincoln and his war
party is growing more and more popular
every day, and throughout the whole North.

YAzoo RIVER, April 16.
SIR:-We have been threatened some
time past with an attack from the Arkan-
sas rebels, in steamers. Every provision
was made to meet it,
Lieut.. Col. Selfridge saw the difficulty
in defending the mouths of the Arkansas
and White rivers, while kept so far apart
by the useless force on the land proposed
to be cut. l ordered him to do so. He
passed through with his vessels twenty
four hours after. We cut the land thus
saving distance of over ten miles. The
mouths of the Arkansas and White rivers
are now brought close together and
small force can defend both.
One of the worst points for guerillas is
also cut off, as these pests of the human
race could from the isthmus attack vessel
on the one side and be ready to meet her
on the other as she came around, the dis
lance being ten miles around and half
mile across / have force enough at the
Arkansas and White rivers to prevent
any attack.

FROM HARRISBURG.

Special Dispatch to The Saint Paul Pioneer.
New YORK, April %.
A dispatch from Harrisburg, dated to-
day, states that many contradictory reports
are in circulation in relation to the rebel
raid. There is no doubt that the rebels
have taken Morgantown, occupying it with
some 4, 900 to 5000 troops under Jenkins.
Our troops are in motion to intercept him,
and artillery to aid them is being sent from
Harrisburg. Another dispatch from Union
town, Pennsylvania, says that the rebel
flag is floating over Morgantown, and that
the men, women and children in that
neighborhood are flying in all directions
Pittsburg is thought to be in some danger.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad between
Cumberland and Grafton is destroyed.

It seems to be certain that General Hooker
will not offer battle under the heights of Fred
ericksburg, making that memorable PLATA. an.

not probable that tha.rebslA will accert battle
in any other position, apd, we may therefnse
expect our advance, or their retreat and proh.
