wonder, some reason to think there is a basis
of truth for this report, | do not feel the same

SAID to be Italians, were TO have been posted

the Emperor was to be passing,
If one failed in carrying out his object, the
second was to have made an attempt to accom-

to have taken bis place, and so on till one of
the fifteen had succeeded. l have also heard,

that the Government are in state of great

LOYALTY AND DISLOYALTY.-Ih journal Of
Commerce says:
" We have a remarkable state of affairs now
exhibited in this country. That party spirit
against which all the great and good men of
old time warned the citizens OF the American
Republic. but which humanity, perhaps, must
fall into, has led US to an opening of a cam
paign il which one party pronounces the other
traitorous and rebellions This is the highest
fever OF party spirit. 1t would lead at the next
step to battle for personal safety. since the
party thus denouncing its opponents must
necessarily insist on the propriety of imprison
Ing and executing the traitors, while the latter
if they believe themselves loyal. must necessa-
rily demand that their trial be held in due
form of law. and Justify resistance to all at
tempts at executing them without regular pro-
cess. conviction and sentence.
There stands the fact in the history of Amer
lea, that two great portions were engaged in
civil war, and one of those portions being divi
ded into two parties on the questions growing
out OF the war one party pronounces the other
a rebelliouS and traitor0us party.

should control the war? Never was a more
Tremendous Tebuke given in the madness of
abolition radicalism than it has received 10 the
result of these elections Now. as heretofore
the abolition leaders have eudeavored to keep
back all the real issues out of sight and per
suade the people that the question before them
was a question of loyalty or treason. Bat with
that issue offered by the radicals the people
have chosen the side which the politicians called
treason. and the terrible truth stares these men
IN the face that they have been telling Europe
and the South that a majority of the men Of
the Northern States were actually IN sympa
