What do these.people meant, Isthers-
one kind Of liberty for them, and another
for US? One kind Of justice for them, and
another for use Or are we unworthy to be
free, and they too good to be slsvesr How
can they coolly and unblushingly applaud
the invasion ofthe South. and'reprobate the
arbitrary arrests Of TIE North Are YAM

Il isrght toimprison, Stay, ard persecute in,
all conceivable modes, the people Of the
S6uth, drive their.women and children from
their homes, destroy and rob ana steal their
property, and desolate their land !; while
merely to dsprives Northern man Of liberty
is an outrage so great a. to threaten thc.l'b~
critics Of the whole North, and to demand
the universal execration! Are these dis
tinctions hypocritical, or do Gov. Seymour
sid others think them justf If pretended
and merely thrown out to make fair weather
with Licoln, Seymour & Co. are not only
dishonest, but too cowardly to resist, even,

consistent. They are for despot,sm -fo'
submission to its authority everywhere and
