Mr.. EDITOR:-Looking into that
standard work upon Christianity,
morals and civilization, politics,
political economy, mobocracy and
throat cutting, yclept the "Eaton
Register" my attention was at
tracted by an editorial devoted to
the moral and political culture of
Mr.. Vallandigham, winding up in
these rather significant, and appa.
rently oraculous words and senten-
ces: "Wait q little longer. A few
months more, and ifhe changes not
his time, the government will lay
its hands upon him and all such as
he is. The day when men will not
be allowed to trumpet their base
tleachery in the NortI, is most
rapidly approaching"
While my mind was yet laboring
to recover from the shock produced
by the reading of the article, and,
if possible, to convince myself that
the Register" was not the official
organ OF Francis Joseph of Aus.
tria, | was struck by the fact that
this editor, who is surely nothing
more than an expounder of the
Abrahamic faith, was, IN numerous
instances, claiming with apparent
guSto and pride that his party was

zeal sense, refers exclusively and
alone to the relation subsisting be.
tween a Prince or Sovereign and
his subjects, Now, sir, whatever
our form of government may be at
present, or whatever of change may
be reserved for US i. the future,
can any sane man doubt that the
editor Of the, Register" expects us
sin a few months more to be un-
der a military despotism. And,
indeed, | ask upon what other n.y.
pothesis can we explain the secret
midnight meetings of that marty
throughout the entire country /;
their destruction by mob violence of
Democratic printing Offices; their
imprisonment of prominent Demo.
Gratis, and their recent Congress
sionaI e%nactments, placing in the
hands of the President absolute
power over the property, the liber-
ty and the life of every man, wo-
man and child in the States. Are
we not something more than drift
ing in that direction? Ard need
any one be surprised if, at least, a
bloody attempt shall be ma lie to
verify his prediction by building
upon the ruins of the great Repub-
lie a hateful monarchy or despotism.
of some sort? These questions are
submitted in good faith, for the
candid consideration of yourself
and your readers.
