cesses have o right to hold meetings and make
harangues wherein every effort to sustain the
Government of the Union is maligned and con-
temped. and determination to resist the draft,
TO repudiate the public debt, and TO cmbarrnss
and cripple in every way the National
authorities is proclaimed amid thunderS oil ap-
plause.
Doubtless, Free Speech, like every other
good thing, may be "run into the ground.
If. for instance, Lee and Beauregard were to.
day besiegiDg our city, we do not believe 1t
would be incumbent on the general command
ing here to suffer tho continued publication OF
such Comprehend sheets as The World aud
DAILY Nars. II would be just az reasonable
to require him to give Ben. Wood control OF
his magazines md make Rynders his Chief of
Artillery. There are exigcncies which make
their own laws, and which override individual
right. at the stern demand of the public safety.
We do not believe even Seymour would con-
teud that journal and club openly, ayow-
eddy, devoted to the cause Of the Sln' oholders'
Rebellion would have right to exist here NJ
this crisis; yet The Caucasian makes no DIS
guse Of lbs entire sympathy with that Re-
bellion, ard supports Seymour distinctly on its
platform. And if you say that Journal
aro,cediy in the Rebel interest has no right to
exist here in such an cxigcncy, you will find IT
very difficult logically to justify the publication
of one Ike The Nc,oS or the UoHd.
That Saul when ho finds himself in
such strange company a. that Of tho prophets,
should oyeract his new part to the verge OF
carcature. is in the nature Of things. But
then be ought always to keep bis new, strange
character distinct from the woll-hnOwn old
one. or lie will be certain to make q botch Of
nc, and injure the cause he means to subseryc.
This truth was strikIDgly illustrated at Wood
Vallandigham " Free Speech" meeting on
Monday evening by the renowned aud illuslri.
