SATURDAY, MARCH II, 1865

Some years ago Mr.. Seward uttered
an opinion that there were duties
which men owed to their race superior
70 constitutions. The secession and
disuniou leaders Immediately seized
upon this declaration, and denounced
it as higher law doctrine" which,
as they prcfessed to think, deserved
particular condemnation. Mr.. Seward
was q leading republican, and they s.
sumed that his opinions were the opin-
ions of his party. he and they were
opposed to slavery, and if they should
get possession Of the government they
would carry out the higher law doc
trine," destroy the constitutional guar
antics of slavery, and abolish the instr
tuition. So necessarily did they harp
upon this theme, that the idea of thigh
er law" became q terrible spectre in the
minds of Southern people. Some
thought they saw in it loss Of property
and abridgement Of sacred rights and
privileges, whilst the more ignorant
imagined it threatened war, pestilence
and famine. It became one Of the po-
tent levers by the use Of which society
was upturned, and the Southern States
plunged into causeless rebellion.
Who would have thought, in view Of
these facts, that in the midst of the re-
bellion, disuniOnists would themselves
proclaim q higher law" and urge its
enforcement for the salvation Of their
rights. Yet, this has been the case.
The Richmond Enquire, the organ of
the disunion leaders at the capital Of
Virginia, finding that the rebel Senate
would not consent to violate the rebel
Constitution, and the cardinal principle
of the government, by making soldiers
ofslsVes, advised the President to assume
the power TO SO use the slave, assert
ing that the emergency authorized the
exercise of this higher law that the lib,
critics OF the rebel States might be pre-
served "The public safety" it declar-
ed, "is imperative IS above LAWS and
CONSTITUTION, and if mistaken respect
for the laws and the Constitution per
mits the public safety to be compro-
missed, there will attach an awful
responsibility to the Executive. These
States" it continued, land this cause
stand to-day in need Of DICTAToR--of
q man who will take the power of the
people, and use it for their preserva.
ton" And this is urged in the rebel
capital without rebuke from any quar-
ter. The higher law doctrine" never
assumed a more repulsive or odious
form. 1t is a vast stride beyond the
simple enunciation of Mr. Seward,
which 50 alarmed the pro-slavery and
secession politicians, Il takes the
guise of good intention-the preser-
walton of the people-but to manaele
and enslave them. But when did
tyranny, about to encroach upon human
liberty ever disclose its real objects,
until the victim was within its power
This call for the exercise of higher
law is but another of many instances
of Southern monstrosity developed by
the rebellion. Shame upon the apos-
tates and hypOcrites who would resort
