Strange Notions.

o.
HS"Ohl Liberty, what crimes are commit
tad in this na,ne," was the exclamation of a
celebrated Partisan Lady, when brought by
Loyal pooplep of Paris, to the Guillotine,
where she'was beheaded upon vague, gener-
al, underlined and indefenGble charge of dis
loyalty" II 2.srh-r1. sgs l--5,
The scenes through which We have lately
passed, bear no small remembrance to the
"Reigu Of fTerror" in France. There the worst
crimes were committed and went unwhipped
Of justice, in the name of "Liberty." How
like some of the scenes we have witnessed
were those dreadful days in France.
1t was only necessary to cry "Union" and
man was safe in the preparation of any viii
lainy. In tie name Of "Union," men were
stoned in the streets, rotten-egged in daylight
houses were demolished, and families driven
into exile. The public authorities pass these
offenders daily and kso'o hem, but they do
not punish, because they cried Union"
The Administration at Washington has
raised storm of Indignation all over the coun-
try at its shameless abuse of power and NAL
administration, aud some Of our contempora-
rics tell US that we are TRAITORS in denoun-
cling the abuse of authority, and the prostitu-
ton Of its power by the Administration, be-
cause all was done in the name of the
"Upion"
And in order further to deceive the people
as to their true condition, and prevent can
did and impartial examination of public af-
fairs, these same contemporaries Of ours, now
tell us, that We ought to write against the re-
bsllion aud not against "loyal" men like Lin
coin & Co.
Now what good sense is there in trying to
write down the Rebellion. We have been
fighting it down for two years, and it still lives.
The people have held meetings and tried to
speak it down, they have cndeavored to Re
solre il out Of existance, and to Legisateit 1t in-
to death, but it still lives. Are the rights Of
the people to be trampled under foot, and the
substance of the nation plundered and squan-
dered on contraband niggers, because there is
q Rebellion in the land'
II the people are to know nothing about
their condition, and hear nothing about the
maladministration Of their rulers in times of
civil strife and rebellion, then it will hereafter
only be necessary for the most corrupt men,
when once clothed with power, to drive por-
tisn of the country into Rebellion, and under
the hateful doctrines of our contem poraries
they can go on, run riot over the liberties Of
the people, plunder the plow,nen, and bcggar
the yoemanry of the land, and whoeven writas
a line against them, will be speedily put in
chains and prisons. Truly Lincoln, Abolition
ism & Co., have put strange notions IN some
peoples Trains,

"a Wall of Despair"

eB> The Emancipation Proclamation of
Honest Abe" is not working out the saliva
tion of the Union instanter, as was predicted
by the Abolition leaders, and hoped for by
the "small fry negro svmpathisers, Al
redy we hear the "Wail of Despair" -1,,other
Ninety days" is allotted in which to "crush
out the rebellion, after which, the belief is
avowed, that the contest becomes we'll nigh
hopeless, and willingness is expressed to
accept disuniou as necessity" The n.
\. Tribune, on this point says: "if three months
more Of earnest fighting sAGA not serve to make a
serios' Impression on TIE retels-if the end of
that term shall find us no further advanced
than its beginning-if some malignant fate
has dccreed that the blood and treasure of the
nation shall ever be squandered in fruitless
sAorts-!a US bow to our destiny and make the best

Historical Parallels.

BG-It was said Of King George, by tee
trainers of the Declaration of independence,
and formspart of that noble Instrument, that;
"He has erected a multitude of ne,0 Offices
and sent hither swsrms, of officers, to ha,Tass
the people and eat out their substance"
Father Abraham is following close in his
footsteps. Ifany doubt it, contemplate we
pray you,-contemplate the "Board Of Trade" !"
debating to the people on what terms they
shall buy and sell, aud who may, and who
shall not, receive and enjoy the goods he has
bought and paid for, sitting the trade of the
town, and driving purchasers away from the
doors of business.
Behold the "Revenue Aids"-prying into
bale, box and bundle -detaining the goods of
other people at the Depots-denying tothe
purchaser the fruits ofhis money and purchase
imposing test oaths-trying the "loyalty"
of the people by standards unknown 70 the
laws of the land. but existing only in their
own individual, ard not too highly polished,
minds-and measuring the fitness of men, wo-
men, and children to receive and take their
own, and peaceably pursue their honest avoca-
tions, by a whispered tale pourd into their ears
by some rival in business-soine wretch cove
tous of the peace and prosperity of Lis neigh
Dor.
Surely "Abe" has improved on this He
has not euly erected multitude Of "ne,c off
ees" and "sent hither swarms of officers to har-
rass the people, and eat out their substance"
but he is refusing to many any substance to be
eaten eut We judge some people, ere long,
will discover that there is hereafter.
