And they had long before been instructed by
The Express that in case one of their organs
should suffer from lawless violence, they should
revenge the outrage by an attack on The
TRIBUNE.
But we 90 not concur in that teaching
whether in letter or spirit. 1t is wrong, per-
nicious, dangerous We live in land Of laws;
and the punishment Of any ofiense should be
visited on the peIpetrator, not on somebody else
whom we may choose to hold responsible for it.
We would have no ono assal The Express or
any other Copperhead concern, because Cop
perhead mob tried hard to destroy The TRIB-

not for civilized Christian country. Punish
those who commit outrageS; withdraw conf
dence and favor from all who incite or justify
them. Leave violence and burglary to those
who find them congenial; but let no good citi-
zen give his sanction TO this mOnstrous doctrine
Of retaliation on the evil-docrs, but on
those who are constructively held to have in
cited them. Mr.. VS. doctrine would inaugu-
rate general resort TO burglary, arson and

GEN. sHEK.MAN's EXPEDITION.

A clear notion of whatSGcn. Shennan's expo
dition was meant to accomplish, and of what it
did accomplish, may DO got from the extended
aud interesting account which We print this
morning IN other columns. An effort has been
made to convey the impression by dispatches
from Washington that Gen. Sherman did all he
undertook or meant to do; that he had no other
purpose than to destroy railroads and Rebel
supplies, on the line of his march; and that
his campaign contemplated from the start re-
turn to Vicksburg after just such raid as has
been completed. But VIC arc at loss to
know what harm it would have done to tell the
truth in matter SO simple as this. If the pub
lie had been honestly informed that Gen. Sher.
man started fox SELMA, Alabama, and that the

The right Of the People of the United States
not being slaves or suspected Of any criminal
offense or intent, to pass freely from one por-
ton Of their country TO another, is very soon to
be affirmed or denied by the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes by its action on the bill to mitigate
the monopoly OF The Camden aud Amboy Rail
road. The right Of Congress TO " establish Post
Roads, and TO regulate Commerce among tho
several States" is expressly and in terms con-
ierTed by the Constitution. II has been repeat
edly and most belefcially exercised when
it seemed TO trench on the general rights
OF property. In the present case, it does
nothing Of the sort. II takes from the
Camden and Amboy Company nothing which il
ever ought TO have hGd-nothing which the
Legislature of New-Jersey had ever any right
to bc5tow. What the Company Will lose by
the passage Of this bill is the power to compel
persons to pass over their road who can travel
cheaper and more agreeably on another route.
This is not a right-nerer could BIO made a
rights simply an abuse, a public nuisance,
which tho Federal Constitution has wisely
clothed Congress with power to abste. We
pray that said power be promptly and firmly
exercised

The Gold bill was debated at length in the
House yesterday, the Gamblers desperately
striving to defeat it, and talking long enough to
prevent vote No new points were made, cX-
cept the very remarkable statement put forth on
the authority ofletters from New-Yofk. 1t was
asserted that the passage Of the bill would raise
the price Of gold. The impudence OF the asser-
ton is magnificent, in the face Of the figures
which the msrhet showed last week. Mr.. Bout
well Of Massachusetts took sides with Ohio Cox
against the measure, but We discover IN his
speech no justification OF 80 extraordinary an al
lance. Other members were doubtful OF giving
so much power TO the Secretary. They prefer
to leave ii in the hands Of the Gold Gamblers.
The bill is fought 20 obsiinately, and with such
resources, and by such lobby, that Its passage
is considered doubtful. But We shall not yet
believe the House has the courage to defy tho
country on question so vital to It's interests.

Mr.. yALLANDiGHAM's RAID.

Mr.. &. l.. NallandghHm in letter printed
in our last, from bis Canada retreat, issues q
general order for the commencement Of u civil
war in the Loyal States in the interest of his
friend JEFF Davis. The excuse for this mani
fcs,o Is an attack By Union soldiers Oh the Office
of The Dayton Empire, the Copperhead organ
ut Mr.. VS. home. which, with all similar
wrongs, no proposes to have resented as fol-
lows:
But these oowardy acts cannot always be guarded
against. And they do not primarily come from the
soldiers There H. therefore but oae remedy for past
and preventive Of future injuries and that H. instant
summary and ample r.prsss upon the persons and
property Of the uien at home who. BY language and
conduct always melting 10 These outTnges. No
legal military punishment Is ever inflicted upon the
immediate instruments. Retaliation therefore Is the
only ard rightful Fomody in times Ike these.
Il speak ad'i.eGy, AND recommend il 10 al cases
hereafter"
We decidedly object to this doctrine. Here
are our reasons:
Tie destruction Of THE TRIBUNE Office, long
threatened by Mr.. VS. and Gov. Scymour's
4" friends" was actually and formidably at
tempted last July. On the morning Of the 18th,
tremendous riots were commenced mp town, and
Immediately crowds of bowling, ftrocious Cop
perheads began to gather in front Of and make
violent demonstrations against our office. The
word few all over town, and was generally be-
Gcyed, that The TRIBUNE establishment would
be ia ruins and the Editor dead man within
twenty four hours. At an early hour Of the
evening, o rush was made into our building, the
windows and fixtures Of our publication-room
smashed, and fire set TO piles Of paper therein,
with Wow to our complete destruction. The
Police promptly appeared and drove out the
incendary burglars, and We armed our building
so soon as We could thereafter. Thencefonh,
We stood on the Defensive; and it would have
cost something to sack or burn our building
An angry mob surrounded and threatened il for
the next day or two; but no one veutured TO
break in.
Now il il fact that several Of our immediate
contemporaries pursued course throughout
those riots that seemed directly calculated to
incte and impel the rioters to persevere in their
evil ways. They talked Of their doings as
1.-THE Uprising of the People," &C., &c, as if
they did not know that every villain engaged in
these riots would have chcered Justify had
victorious Confederate army. One Hundred
Thousand strong, been marching up Broadway
at that moment, with JEFF. Davis, Lee and
Beauregard at its head. To large portion of
the New-York Press are the rioters indebted for
effective cooperation in their foyay upon US.

obtain an immediate understanding between the
supporters OF both nominees, in order that they
may coaesce aud unite upon such Convention.
