revolution thus threatening another revolu-
ton unless ths negroes Of the South were given
the right of the elective franchise. But to
make bis point stiil stronger, he asks, GDo
you want % see them (negroos) submit forever,
and not rise for their righisy" and then, by way
of clincher, adds, 'If they mover gst their
rights, or get them by new revolution, it viii
be in either event our fault" Could impudence
go further? Can rank disunionists or even
Southern traitors say moref
Those sentences, which aro only few among
the many, arc sufficient to stamp the whole
affair with treason of the rankest kind.
Under all this revolutionary talk sat
Senator Pomeroy, the right hand man
OF Chase, and when called upon, publicly en-
dorsed every word and gave It his hearty
approval. Now, wc have learned many sad
lessons during our civil war. II there is any
thing which the events OF the last four years
have demonstrated and proved. it is tho detri-
ment to tho public service in allowing the
Northern secessionists to hold their meetings in
our midst Events have forcibly shown that
they aided and strengthened the rebellion, pro
longed the war, and, in fact, prepared by their
teaching and practice one of their own class
for the assassination Of our Presidcnt The
Northern .oopperhead seccessionists aided the
rebellion, and did it more service than if they
had shouldered tho musket and entered the
rebel armies These radical Jacobins, now
that the rebellion is crushed, are only initiating
the plan Of the copperheadp and aim not only
to prolong the contest, but to inauguratc q
social war. Between the two factions they will
bring the country to bankruptcy and ruin it
allowed to pursue their course unmolested. We
have seen the evils of permitting tho copper
heads to carry out their schemes, and the Presi-
dent owes it to the country to arrest and incar-
cerate these Fancuil Hall Jacobins-orator
Beecher, Dana and Pomeroy included. No
matter If the latter is United States Senator;
80 was Davis, Benjamin, and numerous other
leaders, when they commenced spouting
treason. Had they been arrested when they
defed the government in the Senate the
rebellion might have been nipped in the
bud so with this new revolution and social
war which tho Jacobins are trying to inaugu-
rate. A few months imprisonment of the
leaders in one Of our forts, with hard tack
diet, will break up this insurrcction, and save
the country vast of amount Of trouble and
treasure.

TIE FIRST AND TIE LAST Gun or THE RsrEr-
IaoN.--It appears that she first and the last gun
of the rebellion were fired by The same man
tbat old and unfortunate fanatic on Southern
State rights, Edmund Eri1in, Of Virginia. The
first gun for his iancied millennium Of a South
cyn confederacy was fred by him at Fort Sum-
ter in April, 1861; the last was fred by the
same hand, through his own head, in June,
1865. His name will thus go down to future
generations as n striking illustration of that
insane enthusiasm with which the leaders OF
the late rebellion plunged into it, and of The
terrible remorse with which tho living among
them at the end of the struggle came out Of it.
