'nr,.-d this meeiipg are firm, must in due

large smount of patriotism and devotion to

ssys. 1t is for the perpetuation of free con-
".tjtutional Government, and for this only,
';hst the country has been so willing to ex-
"hsust its best blood and place its vast re-
sources at the disposal of the Federal all
"thori,y. God forbid that the American peo-
"p!s should allow the strength thus impaired
70 be turhad aSains. themselves and mill
"tary despoii6m erected on the ruins of public
'libery' s., so! Il is all right 30 long as
tue d:sp9tisn is marshalling iis hosts against
the Liberties Of the South. Mr.. Hunt and his
eolaborsrs will contribute their "bas. blood
aua the vast resources of the country for that
uertorious purpose but God forbid !' heex-
claims, that ''ths strength thus impaired"
should be turned against the Northern people
themselves
Wha, do these people mean Is there one

0Ia kind Of justice for them and another for

too good to be slaves How can they coolly

ihay a9e airceie, ana really think the attempt

Thus viewing the Inconsistency Of these
psrsons-their truly Puritan position OF sell

mat bold assertion Of Hunt, On tho 'houss.
'ops, taat 40 New Yorker "shall be deprived
o'h lie, liberty, or property, without process OF
law" 1t is sort of dare to Lincoln, uttered
,a'her taanliDgly, and calculated to provoke him

enough to defend herself We doubt it.
