" On Saturday morning Gen. Sheridan's in

falling Mcclellan would be in the same pre-

Great depression continued in English

mainly to heavy losses on cotton. Walker,
Colesworth d Co., of Liverpool, and Ollrichs

Sumter and hostilities had commenced. the Jour
nal stated that it had seen reason to change
the opinions It had expressed. and il was then
willing to let the dissatisfied States go, upon the
condition that they should first lay down their
arms. 1aa ssa ~
Such is the record of paper that, with az
fected innocency, lectures for affirming the
right of Mr.. LONG to express his convic-
tons as to the true policy of the nation in the
present crisis 1t may have been impolitic or
inexpedent for him to have done so and his
views may be erroneous, but his right to express
them cannot be questioned. He advocated no
proposition to destroy the Government, but on
the other hand the policy that be thought would
best preserve it. If, as the Journal charges,
Mr.. Lone committed crime, what deep-dyed
criminal must be the Journal man. He did all
in his power to encourage secession by pledgng the
dissatisfied States that not a man north of Mason
and Dixon s Line would oppose their leaving. And
then after those States had ceceded with full real
izaton of the terrible calamtes which follew civil
war, he turns around and advocates coercion"
to the subjugation not only, but the extermiua
ton of the very people he invited out OF the
Union with the assurance that he would sustain
them il so doing We pity the man whose
moral degradation can reach such depth of in
fanny. We cannot see how he can look upon the
desolation that the war has already occasioned
without suffering the psngs of remorse.
The original Abolitionists, like GARRISON,
SUMNER and CHASE, occupy an equally incon-
sistent position They where the original advo-
Gates of disunion from the slave States. But
when separation was proffered and attempted,
then they advocated coercion" to force their re-
turn and submission to the Union.
We make these remarks not to justify or apollo
gize for Mr. LONG, but to hold up to merited
scorn and contempt the men who, with the guilt
Of disunion upon their souls. charge those who
cannot now subscribe to their policy with dis
loyalty" and treason" But enough for to day
