BEGINNING TO SEE IT.-Even the Bos-
ton Courier, one of the most extreme of
the partisan Democratic papers, goes so
far as to concede that the destruction of
Slavery by the war is all right. 1t says:
The South rushed to arms especially to
protect the institution of Slavery, an
institution which paratively few Nor
thern men approve. The friends of State
rights in the North, as body, never de-
Tended Slavery upon its merits, but, bra
vely bearing the opprobrlum of doing SO,
which was inevitably thrust upon them by
their political antagonists, they faithfully
defended those constitutional rights that
gave to Slavery its security. But when
shareholders 60 to war, and especial hy
when they inaugurate Rebellion, thei
must expect their slaves to take the
chances and share the fate which war
may bring. To this doctrine every sensible
and practical man must assent. If th'
war is carried on until every negro il
set at large in this way, the owners mus

BE A Democratic cotemporary thinks
it is a difficult matter to decide what is
the best policy to pursue in relation to
the Administration. Not at all. The
road of duty pointed out, alike by patri-
otism and by sound policy, is, to touch
not, taste not, handle not. The farthest
point from it, the remotest place from
rendering any aid and comfort, is the
true duty of the Democracy. From the
crown of its head to the soles of its feet
it is ulcerous with corruption and trea-
son. Give it the support Millions Deity
gave Satan-kick it down out of power,
and Danish forever the scenes of crimes
