''suppOrt OF the Government,


Whenever we hear reason assigned in
justification of the tyranny exercised by the
adherents to the party in power, it is claimed
to be in Support of the Government" and
while the mad waves Of political passion and
frenzy are running to such heighth, il may
not be amiss to examine this claim in the
calm light of reason and truth. The history
of the world evinces the remarkable truth or
a gradual withdrawal from aud losing sight Of
first principles upon which institutions have
originally been founded; and all the efforts of
conservatism have been Intellectual to prevent
this tendency to oblivion and decay. The
Jewish people, once powerful and mighty as
nation, gradually lost sight OF the true spirit
of their laws and original principles of gov
ernment, until they saw nothing more efica.
cious in its support, than the powers of force,
and coercion, in their efforts to perpetuate it
But time has taught them the deplorable truth
that the gerymeans used bythem in their blind
ness, passion and rage, were the very mesus
which hastened their earlier destruction. They
failed to see that the available power Of their
acknowledged ruler was not to be found in
violent tornado; the earthquake, and sweep
ing conaagration; as the party in power must
yet come to see that the effective aud availa-
BILE powers Of the Government are not to be
found in the wild torrent of passion and rage;

loved Constitution, nor the 6eres conaagra-
ton Of civil war The force of opinion is
truly great, and no monarch ever welded
more despotic sway over his subjects; and
however wrong, or incorrect those opinion 5
time may have proven to be, they proved
equally effective for the time being in ac
complishing the end for which il was created.
Hence il is that this constant yilli6cation
slander and abuse, are INDUCED in so constant
ly against those whoIdiffer in opinion as to III a
wisdom aud policy of the Administration aud
who are bsrated and condemned by them as
being opposed to the Government, We thus
see the fact evnced that they too have
wholly lost sight of the first principles upon
which our Republic was founded IN drawing
no distinction between the Administration aud

As "the heir of the aspirations of John
Brown" it was as little as Mr.. Lincoln
could do to join in the applause.
If MIR. Thompson expects to travel
much over the country and wishes to enjoy
the same, we would suggest to him that
the less he says about crushing Democrats
from the land the betterit will be for his
health. George Thompson, indeed, ,-the
English Abolitionist Let him beware
how he insults the Democracy Aboli-

driven in disgrace from the land he has

the north side of the North Anna, on Thurs
day night. and moved towards Hanover
town, the place designated for the crossing
of the Pamunkey.
Ats o'clock yesterday CFriday) morning,
Sheridan, with the First and Second Divi-
sions of Cavalry, took possession Of Han
over Ferry and Hanovertown, finding there
only Rebel vidette.
The First Division of the Sixth Corps
arrived at 10 o'clock A. NJ, and he now
holds the place with a sufficient force of
cavalry, infantry and artillery to resist any
attack likely to be made upon him.
The remainder of the corps are pressing
forward with rapidly.
The weather is fine and the roads per-
feet.
A later dispatch, dated at ! o'clock this
morning (the 2sth) from the headquarters
at Magahick Church has also been received.
1t reports that everything goes on finely.
The weather is clear and cool. The troops
come up rapid and in great spirit, and the
army will be beyond the Pamunkey by
noon.
Breckenridge is at Hanover Court House
with force variously eliminated at 5000
to 10000. Wickham's and Lomax's bri-
gades Of cavalry are also there.
The dispatch further states that after
selling Hanover Ferry, yesterday, General
Torbert captured IS cavalry. including six
officers; that the Rebel cavalry is exceed
ngly-demoralized, and fees before ours on
every occasion.
A dispatch from General Sherman, dated
May 28th, 6 A NJ, near Dallas, reports
that the enemy, discovering his move to
turn Altoona, moved to meet our forces at
Dallas
Our columns met the enemy about one
mile east of the Point on Vine Creek, and
we pushed them back about three miles, to
the point where the roads fork to Atlanta
and Marietta.
Here johnson has chosen strong line,
and made hasty but strong parapets of lum-
Der and earth.
General Sherman's right is at Dallas. and
the centre about there miles north. There
are no roads of any consequence.
We have had many sharp encounters,
but nothing decisive.
No Dispatches from any other field OF
operations have been received to-day.
