There are two three newspapers in Oeorris vhose
columns are continually filled with warnings and threaten
!ngs against every demonstration Of the people why

substance the language which those profess to be in
the confidence OF the administration who publish by
authority" have been holding TO The people for several
years and the people, with enduring patience and
confidence In their rulers beyond that exhibited by any
on or people on which the shone have trusted
ana PAID and fought and suffered, without complaining
until many OF them have little left but their lives
and their honor In these trying times many wise and
see whittier we are drifting; to overhaul the records
and see Il we can who has been true and faithful the
cause and who has been acting for himself
We hear none talk OF dosorng great and glorious
abuses, and giving now direction to things that are
going wrong: And who are the men that would deny
the people tho right of looking their own aarsY
Are they not most Of them who have comfortable
omces under tbs administration where, free from dan
they gathering up large fortunes out Of the suf
fering peopcs These fear the people, and well thew
may. They do want the books overhauled. They
not want to give an account of their stewardship for
Tear they may no longer be permitted to bo steward
They want things to rock on; they are doing well
enough But the people have begun to find them out
and hence they fear the people. We have not urged
convention OF the people, because we could not
see how such convention would assist in prosecut
Ing the war In which we are engaged to honora-
BILE issue; and to do that we were willing to
suffer and forbear as long as suffering would do any
good But Il the people want sntion 1t is their
right and their privilege and afraid to trust
them II there is any foundation for the report put
forth by some Of the administration journals that there

away to England, France and Spain and turn as over
TO colonial vassasgS TO those Powers Certainly the
people ezve right TO be heard In convention before the
transfer Is made Or II that other report true that
rulers have received proposals of recognition condi-
ton OF the abolition Of slavery then the people should
be heard in convention before any such bargain made
Tor neither the President Congress- nor both to-
gether have any right power to abolish slavery with
Out tho consent OF the people But why should the ad
ministraton journals entertain such great jealousy and
distrust Of the peopief
They certainly capable Of Judging Of their own

believe there any danger Of their doing anything
venon Djure these editors unless their interest is sep
erate and distinct from the rest Of the people2 This
eaousy and distrust Of the people, by who profess
70 be In the councils Of the administration is calculated
70 alarm the people and to them TO fear that all Is
not right With the present lights before we do not
see what good convention would do. But things may

One editor goes on through long and very absurd
