Punishment of the Traitors.

. LID. LII I.fi - IT. II..
The assassin who shot the President would
be easily tried and punished, II he were TAX
en-. But, alas! his crime except in the H.
lustrious character Of his victim, was mol
greater than the crime which literally tor
tured many thousands Of Union prisoners ia
death. and made the names of the Anderson.
vile and Salisbury prisons the synonym Of
horror The massacre of Fort Pillow. though
the victims were among the despised and ro
jected of men, was attended with circumstan'
ces Of surprising atrocity which will make Il
memorable while the history Of these times
endures. These are only incidents OF tina,
foreshadowing crime which has made tho last
four years season Of prolonged sacrifice
taking the flower of the land for its victims,
and desolating with FIRE and sword the fairest
portion of its domains. The blood Of these
innumcrable victims is upon the heads of the
conspirators. JEFF. Davis might have rescued
our brave men from tho charnel houses to
which his subordinates consigned them, but
he refused. Robert e Leo might have avenged
the horrors OF Fort Pillow, but no refused.
Judge Campbell might have interceded for
the Union martyrs who lifted their thin hands
to him in dumb entrcaty, and then perished
before lie eyes, but he refused. Hunter, OF
Breckenridge, or Stevens, or Johnston, or
Mason, or any Of the eminent men who had
influence in tho councils of the conspiracy,
might have checked the atrocities Of which II
has been guilty, and lightened the imueasur.
able burden of wickedness it has assumed.
But they refused. They rewared rather the
instruments of this heart.rending cruelty,
and exulted in every fresh expedient Of tor.
turs which their ingenuity devised. Now IL
the present temper of the nation means any.
thing. the conspirators who have mortally
offended will be arraigncd and tried. and the
guilty will be punished according to their
deserts. They have escaped tho risks OF bat.
tie, to which their dupes and victims were
condemned. They will not escape the justice
Of n wrongcd and outraged nation to which
their lives arc forfeit; first for the act Of trea-
son. and second for every life sacrificed in con-
sequence Of that act. Let the traitor con.
sole himself with tho reflection that II crimes
like his escaped retrbution there would be
an end of oil government, and peace and SO.
curity would have no pla 20 in tho economy Of
the world. Nothing for revenge; hut for
the utmost Justice and the public safety
