representation, vitupcration and abuse, and
whose columns are replete with sentiments like
those we have just quoted, Il Is q mistake to
suppose that the great defeat OF the Democrat
ic party in the Presidential Election of 20 was
what Is fast killing It. II might and doubtless
would have rallied from the effects Of that, with
even increased vitality and vigor. but for the
reasonable conduct of its quondam leaders.
They have gone too far, and now the people,
we mean the rank and file Of the party refuse
to follow SO base lead. Does any one ask,
how these false hearted leaders may be known!
Easily-apply the old scripture rule-"by their
fruits &c." They cannot conceal themselves.
Look at their record. As the history and ex-
perience Of yesterday join hands with the de-
tectivc of to-day, and leads him through oil
the devious paths Of crime, so that however in
tricate or involved their sinuosity, he is gen.
orally enabled with certainty and precision to
unfold not alone the act, but even the intent OF
the guilty; so he who now would know the
identity and full purpose OF Northern traitors
has but to read their past record, and remem-
Der their past acts,-unlike the record Of very
many good men, It is thoroughly CONSISTENT
They were the first to shout in favor Of plum
dering poor Me1ico,-the first and loudest TO
cry claw and order''-when citizens of Ohio
and Massachusetts, were legally kidnapped, and
hurried away without trial,-but last and
least to object at all, when our country was
being pillaged and plundered, robbed and as
sassinated; men, who betrayed the Govern
mcnt, while in its confidence, cried STOP"
when it first lifted its hand in scf.defensc-
murmurcd and threatened when thraitors were
allowed to slip through the far too lenicnt hand
of the law, because they were interfercd with

armed insurgents - and now finally shout
"peace upon any terms" "thc heart Of the

The Attack on Charleston Delayed
by Storm.
Coles Island In Possession OF Federal
Troops.

New York, April 7.
The Hilton Head correspondent of tho
Tribune. under date Of March 81, states that
rough weather Is now the only obstacle to
the immediate consummation of the agrees
i've plans Of General Hunter and Admiral
Du POnt. We confidently look for the sail
ing OF the last of the iron clads remaining in
port and tho fleet Of transports for the point
Of attack in the course Of the next three days
ut larthest.
The Keokuk has shown better sca going
qualities than the Monitors on the voyage
hither. She came through from Fortress
Monroe in 10 hours. with but little assis-
lance from the towing steamer. She mado
rs many rs seven knots nm hour, although
the highest capacity Of her engines was not
tried. Her machinery was but lightly disar-
ranged. Several Of the surf boats, prepared
for the expedition. were wrecked by the storm
on the beach last night. Their loss. however,
will not result in any detention. Gen.
Hunters flag ship will be the Ben Dcford.
The admiral will have tho Wash here, and
personally direct the movements of tho iron
clads from the Ironsides
The correspondent ol the Herald writing
from Coles Illand, S. O., nine miles from
Charleston. 2S,h ult.. states that the lOOth
New York regiment has landed and taken
possession Of that Island, which is ut tho
confluence Of Stone and Fally rivers, and
connected with James Island by causeway.
On the 18th scouting party went toward
Charleston, obtaining excellent views Of tho
rebel forts, batteries and forces James
Island is heavily fortified. An attack was
expected from the rebels momcntarily.

The Question Properly Stated.

At meeting Of the Union League Of Phil
adclphia, on Monday evening, March ODD,
the members were addressed by speakers
from the Border States, whose words had no
uncertain sound. Adjutant General Harring-
ton of Delaware, said:
"Tbe line between loyalty and disloyalty
had been distinctly drawn. We demand of
our citizens that they shall give up every
thing which stands in the way Of the Gov
crnment. We would rather DO called an Alb
olitionist than submit to treason and trcach-
cry against tho Government. Wehayc como
to regard slavery as the cause of the REBEL
ion, and it has never been blessing to us or
anybody else. We have found that where
slavery is strong, rebellion is strong"
He was happy, he went on to say. to
live in such crisis. He thought that the
nation would come out Of the trial purer,
brighter, holier, and without the stain of
slavery upon the flag Of our country. Loud
applausc.l
Colonel Wilmer, of Kent county, was the
next speaker. Ho announced himself q slave.
holder, but he expressed it as his opinion
that the political condition of his State was
caused by slavery. If the Union could not
DO restored with slavery, then he would lot
his own negroes go, and those Of others. Hc
was willing that the Legislature of Della
ware should pass measure for the abolition
of slavery without compensation. He would
rather have the unconditional abolition Of
slavery in Delaware than that another person
should pay for his slaves.

Then, fourthly, the proclamation Is a meas
ure of the Government.-our Government
the Government OF our fathers, venerated by
all, who venerate their memories,-a Govern
ment administered by rulers chosen by the
people in the manner prescribed in the Consti-
tuition which those fathers made for US; ana
We are bound to abide by that proclamation
and support il. by all our love OF our country
and our gratitude for the freedom, prosperity
and happiness, we have enjoyed under that
Constitution and Government, at least until
other rulers are chosen in the same manner and
rescind it. And il must be born in mind, that
the rebellion is not n war against our rulers,
but war against our OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
the Union itself
And lastly, the proclamation cannot by any
possibility ipjurc any one-or any thing, but
the confederacy and those under its despotic
sway. and, therefore, opposition to 1t can only
spring from love of the confederacy and the
rebel cause, and gross infdclity to our coun-
try.
Now, then, give to the people an infalible
test of the traitor, and say to them: If you
hear man deuounce the Presidents procla-
nation Of freedom,-or if he tells you. "that
this Is only an Abolition war, that the Republic
cans made il, and may fight it out" or If he
takes up the wall OF JEFF. Davis, and says "the
proclamation was designed to incitc the slaves
to rise and murder the women and children OF
the South" set that man down as friend OF
the confederacy and an enemy to their own
goyernment;-you cannot mistake. Il.

been strengthened by the repels, who have
moved their heavy guns from the river front
To the rear Of Vicksburg, and substituted
"Quakers" in their place.
