GERRIr SsITH-This somewhat celebra ted
an,i-slavery teacher has recently put himself on
the record as an unconditional Unionist, in o
speech which is reported as follows
Z" He declared himself in favor Of putting
down the rebellion. Some good men wanted
tho constitution amended he was satisfied with
II as II was, and would not have 1t changed in
the least. Some men think the country too
large, and would like to reduce it's boundaries I;
but he liked Il, and would not have one rood
taken away-not even South Chrona. lie
would also be 10 favor Of putting down the re-
bellion Internationally, even II he knew that
slavery would come out stronger and more pow
erful than ever. His abolition friends will call
him TO tcsk for that remark but he would put
down the rebellion because II is wicked. Put
that down and the country, constitution and the
Union would take care Of itself. lie wanted no
DISCUSSIONS over what would be done with the
rebels or their slaves put down the rebellion,
regardless Of that point. lie did not want to
hear anything about war with European ma
tons pu, down the rebellion and the country
would take care Of that"

This estimate is doubtless too small, and the

Mn EDiroR i have just been reading Judge
Leayitt's reasons for refusing writ Of habeds
corpus in the case of C. Il. Vallandigham, and to
me they appear sound, Notwithstanding yourself
and other editors seem to take different view OF
the case view precisely agreeing with that OF
traitors and copperheads, both North and South
which does not, of course, prove it unsound
Nevertheless it Is well to examine our foundation
when ones enemies pronounce it sound. You
say, f." Gen. Burnside is as much bound TO respect
the rights Of Mr.. vallandigbam, as o citizen Of
Ohio, as Mr.. valandigham is to respecttte order
Of Gen. Burnside"
Allow me to ask if Mr.. yallandigham has any
rights, as citizen Of Ohio, or any other State,
while engaged in preaching treason, or in any way
giving aid and comfort TO the rebellion If
Southern traitors have forfeited their right to lib
erty, and ife even, by their treason, what shall be
said Of traitors at the North who are aiding and
comforting them ? Is not secret treason in Ohio
as bad as open treason in Virginia ? Is il not in
fnitely worse, because done under the garb Of
oyaltyP
Said Mr. Chandler, i" have some respect for
Southern traitors, who come out openly, and take
the chances OF the bullet and the halter, but |
have the most Superlatve contempt for Northern
traitors who, under the garb of loyalty, ere stab
bng their country in the dark" You seem to
think MIR. Vellaudlgiium has not perilfd the
country, and therefore should not have been ar
rested. Really, and shall we wait until treason
has become more formidable before arresting it :?
1t seems to me we had quite enough Of that in
Buchanans time. But is not the Nation most
eminenhy in peril, and quite as much from North
ern as Southern treason
You prefer that he should have been arrested,
II at all, by the civil law. But was be not arrested
virtually by the civil law, for it seems the Legis-
ature Of Ohio had passed a law sanctoning just
such arrests by military authority. You seem to
think he will gain sort Of martyrs crown.
think it will be very mrch like that gained by
Benedict Arnold 1t may have been bad policy
but some Of US fail to see the consistency OF send
ing our boys to bleed on the battlefield, and al
the same time clamor for the right Of citizenship
to our neighbors at home, who are giving aid ant
comfort to the rebels they are fighting There
seems to be fear that large portion Of the people
will not support the Government in such string
ent measures. Sir, il the people are not pre-
pared to support the Government in putting dowr
treason, both North and South, the sooner it il
known the better, for then we had better cal
home our army and make peace with the traitors
as best We may.
Yours for putting down traitors to Freedom

REMARKS.

We are quite glad TO receive the above commu.
nication and TO give it a place in our columns,
for, if we are wrong, either in principle or policy,
in our position respecting the immunites OF free
speech in a Democratic and constitutional form Of
Government, we shall most cheerfully confess il
when our error is clearly shown to US. We can
not allow our correspondent, however, TO put us
in any false position in this matter. Our objection
was not to Valandgham's punishment, but to the
method through which he was punished. The
question is not whether traitors in Ohio shall be
put down, but ho,o they shaIlbe put down. We
are in favor Of dealing with them by the civil law
aud the courts, instead of the military, where it
can be done, as in Ohio and Vermont, and we be-
lieye this to be strictly in accordance with the lib
critics Of the people, TO preserve which our free
Government was organized.
Let us put case to ties, the principle. Sup.
pose President Lincoln TO suddenly change bis
views respecting the cause Of the war, and become
converted to the opinion of DR.. Lord that abo-
litionism is the causative sntecedent" Of TIE re-
bellion. lie would then, no doubt, put some
military commander Of the pro-slavery type, i
such an one could be found, in command Of the
Department Of Vermont. This military comman.
der would Immediately proceed to denounc'
abolition talk as ncendiary, dangerous snt
reasonable. But our correspondent, whose ha
tired Of slavery is not Of the milk-and-water kind
would undoubtedly, in face Of the threats Of I
dungeon, still denounoe slavery as the sum o
all villanies'" lie would be soon, as conse
quence, waited upon by the military power, treC
by Court Martial, and sentenced to be transport
ed. Now will our correspondent say whether HI
thinks that would be in accordance with bis idea
Of free Government
We think our correspondent writes without du,
reflection when he says a traitor has no rights
A traitor is not an outlaw whom any one fndin,
may rightfully STAY. lie is to be punished To-
his treason like as murderers are to be punished
for their crimes, by the law. Even jeff Dav
has that right still left to him, unless the Govern
ment treats him as foreign enemy and not as
traitor, and, il he should be captured to day, h
could not rightfully be hung except after ,ra
by the civil courts The military could only pas
him over to the courts.

THE NORTH I
Yankee Raid on Warsaw.

We learn that q column Of Yankee cavalry and
mounted infantry entered Kenansvile on Saturday
night last having been sent out from Newborn by
way Of Trenton through Jones County into Duplin.
They proceeded to Warsaw, on the Wilmington
Road, some ten miles from Ksnansvilia thirty.6
miies south of God dyboroagh, and some sixty Ave
miles from this City. We learn they ent tae tsae.
graph wires and tore up several miles Of the Rail-
road. The estimate Of their plumbers, by Gen.
Whitehead, of Duplin, in dispatch to Gov. Vance,
is about 1000, with six pieces Of artillery. We
learn they seized horses and other property, and
destroyed Freel,cEs armory at Kenansville. If we
had any troops in that quarter, we presume their
pickets were surprised and captured
Some little excitement was caused by these re-
ports in this City on Sunday, and steps were taken
to give the enemy warm reception, if they should
sweep round in this direction. The seth militia
Col Stephenson, was called out regular troops
telegraphed for at Weldon, and COL Mallett's reg
iment of well,drilled conscripts were directed to
hold themselves in readiness
On Monday morning, at 9 o'clock, slarge meet
ing of our citizens was held Mayor Harrison in the
chair. Gov. Vance addressed the meeting in elo-
quent strains, advising the people to volunteer in
defence Of their homes; and Gov. Bragg followed,
| urging general enrolment. A committee was ap-
! pointed to superintend the enrolment, which is
rapidly and enthusiastically going forward.
The enemy, it is said declared it to be their pur-
pose when at Kenansville to proceed to Fayette-
vile or Raleigh. a,.
We shall give the latest news from this raid up
to the time Of going to press.
