90 so far as to say that .'the LAW
would not reach him. This is TRUE.
He is no violator of law, and it was
because they felt the sting of the ar
rows Of truth launched against the
most corrupt Administration that ever
administered the American Govern
ment that they violated cYery princi-
pie Of liberty in amestiug him.
Tried by a court composed of Demo-
cratic officers" as if man who had
even Zone drop of Dcmocrotic blood
in his veins could thus bow the neck
to a dcspotism. Shame!
The nominee of the Copperhcad
party for Governor, us the public
know, was arrested for preaching trca-
son.
Under the new regime, criticizing
the acts Of Government officials is
treason. As Etheridge says, loyalty
is summed up in the question-''who
is the greatest philosopher and states
man; who the wiSest and most religious
man; who the greatest military strate-
gist the world has ever seen; if to
all these the response is-Abraham
Lincoln, Esq, the man is loyal; no.
body but copperhead Or traitor
would answer negatively" Oh, in
comparable President! The wisdom
of twenty generations arc crowded in
thy mighty brain. Washington and
Jefferson, and their Administrations,
too, might be criticized; but Lincoln,
greatest, wisest and best, who could
ever doubt the wisdom or expediency
of ANY action He could take? Do
the gods err?
He boasted in his public speeches,
that he had never voted, while in Con-
gress, man or dollar to carry on
the war for the suppression of the re-
bellion.
So says the Republican, and the
Richmond Enquirer gives him the
same cold shoulder because it says he
has voted supplies for the war. Vcri-
ly they are in league.
lie is opposed to the continuance of
the war for that purpose.
Mr.. Vallandigham very much doubts
whether the war is being conducted
for thatpurpose, and if the Republican
man would read the letter of the Gov
crnor of the great loyal State of New
York in regard to Vallandigham' $
arrest, he would see that others were
in the same predicament.
And would bring it to a close by a
dishonorable compromise-by yield
ing to the rebels all they ask.
Yet Mr.. Nallandigham asserts in
all his speeches that he is in favor of
none but an honorable peace, and
when he offered to prove to the Inqui-
sition which sat in mock judgment On
him, that this Administration had RE-
FUSED offers Of an honorable peace and
compromise, they would not listen to
him, but STRUCK THIS ITEM from the
specification. AS the lamented Doug
las said, "tho Republican party is the
sole obstacle to an honorable compro-
mise"
But We have given enough to show
the spirit Of the article. The calm,
sober, thinking portion of the comma.
nifty, who are not wild with fanaticism,
can see the way in which the Aboli,
ton press seek to conduct the present
canvass. They do not wish the Union
restored-they are afraid it will be
and they labor with all their power to
give 'Eaid and comfort to the rebellion
by telling the people of the South that
the majority Of the people of the
! North favor the rebellion and are in
sympathy with them. Such men
would rend the nation in thousand
fragments merely to secure the spoil;
of Office. They are now laboring tc
create CIVIL WAR, by exciting bitter
ness and hatred between the parties
who differ in regard to the manner in
which the Government shall be con-
Quoted. The attentive reader will no
fail to perceive that they are initiating
the Secessionists of the South in theil
efforts to stife free press and free
speech, that they may have thing
their own way.
But the hour of retribution WILL
come. THEY will yet drink the pois-
onous chalice they have prepared for
the lips of Others. The day comes
when others will have the say as tc
who shall be considered dangerous and
be arrested. Abolitionism is destruc-
