1uttsring Treason.

Some two or three weeks since. We
psnned an article speaking Of the immi
nent danger. to be apprehended from
Northern traitors. We then had pri-
vate advices (as we'll IS public) which
justified the fear; and ,he only reason
that blood has not been shed in the
North is because traitors have not re-
ceived their deserts.
We assert now, that treason is rank
and deadly at the North. The families
Of solanseers are alarmed for their SAFE
". rhae their husbands. fathers and bro
TIERS are in the army and secessionists
all around them at home. This 10 the
case in several localities in Indian, and
Illinois where nearly all the loyal men
have volunteered. and the rebels left at
home are becoming bold in the utter
ance of their treason. And these fami.
lies have grounds for their fears. II
these Northern traitors were no. COW.
ards. there would be open rebellion TO-
day in the Free States.
The muttsrings We hear po,tend the
coming storm; and unless Union victo-
ries. or the decided stand of our armies
cover the rebels of the North. we shall
yet have trouble with them. The uni.
ted, outspoken sentiments of the army
has already :old with favorable effect
upon these miserable allies Of JEFF. Da-
Wis. II isa voice of rebuke that comes
with the tones Of thunder upon the
plotting enemies Of the nation, and
they quail before it, as all towards
quake when the hour of trial comes
But still We hear the mutterings. and
the evil hour may yet come when these
vilest of treason's crew will need TO be
suppressed with the shedding Of their
blood.
In this connection the following from
the Albany correspondent Of the N. Y
Tribune, at the close of a comnunica
ton in reference TO the recent contes
ter the Speakership for the Assembl!
in that State, is in point.
''These are facts of general notoriety
They are Of wide and deep significance
The 6res Of revolution shoulder be

Motive Makes the Difference.

The question is asked: "Eias not
every man the privilege to condemn
the policy of the administration ! and
one man rs much as another :"
We answer: Every man has . right
10 condemn any course Of policy OF any
administration, If his motive is good.
and he seeks the welfare of the country;
but no man has a right 10 condemn
when his object is to weaken and des-
troy the government. 1t is the motive
that justiies or condemns.
Hence. . known loyal man may say
things of the policy Of tn. administra'
ton with perfect propriety. when il
the same words we're spoken by q
sympathiser with the rebellion. it would
be rank treason.
The reason is plain. Tie former
uses the language to benefit the coun'
try and help the admin. tration to re-
form. or to adopt more efficient policy
while the latter uses it TO destroy con
tidence and engender disloyalty toward'
the government. The one does a com
mendable act; the other deserves
punishment for a crime.
This is plain English and plain truth
and from the premises We draw thi
conclusion: II an individual loves jeff
Davis rule better than that of the Ioya
government of the land let him go dow
into reLeldom TO proclaim his prefer
ence for the former or illuminate hi
denunciations of the latter.

sent difficulties. In 1860. just after

miited the doctrine Of Secession as

States 10 60 out Of the Union If they
