From the Tribune.
The World snarling at our arguments for the
abolition of hanging, says:- Iii
1--WE warn the tribune people that capital punish.
cannot be abolished before the rultion of their
internal radical schemes, II they their desperate
political the standard of rebellion, II
will be at the imminent risk of their necksj and no
amount of editorial whining in advance VIII do them
any good Ii the radicals have their minds made up
for treason, they must be prepared 10 meet all It's
consequences hanging included"
Very well. The tribune has no objection. 1t
never complained when your sort of people hung
old John Brown. If our sort conspre and fight
to overthrow the republic, give them the full
measure of the law. But what do you propose
to do with the Democratic traitors like James G.
Faulkner, who, while drawing large salaries
from the Treasury of the Union, were pre-
pairing the Courts to which they were accredited
for premature recognition of the Southern
CoDiederacy?
What with Democratic traitors like Gustavus
W, Smith and Mansfield Lowell, who aban-
aOned important offices in our city to fight in
the Rebel armies tor the dissolution OF the
Union9
Connecticut and his compeer from Ohio who
soon after Bull Run made their way clandes.
timely into the ContederacY, and did their little
utmost 70 secure its triumph over the Union9
What with the Indiana Democrats who piloted
John Morgan's ana other Rebel raiders to in
wade their own State, and plunder its people of
horses and food? ana what of the Pennsylvania
Democrats who piloted the Rebel vanguard to
Ghambersburg and Gettysburg .0. .-..
What with Pemberton, Gardner, and other
Northern Democrats, who enlisted in the Rebel
armies, and rose to high commands?
What with Clement l.. Vallandigham, the
Democratic leader, of whom Mr.. John b. Jones,
in his Rebel War Clerks Diary" thus makes
record:-
Jane %, 1S63.-To-day, L saw the memorandum
of MIR. Ould of the conversation held with Mr.. Vat
landRham, for file in the archives He says, If we
can only no out this year, the Peace party of the
North would sweep the Lincoln dynasty out of ex-
istence' He seems to have thought that our cause
was sinking and feared we would submit which
would, OF course, be rmnous TO his party"
What with Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan
jeremiah s. Black, Thomas H. Seymour, William
B. Reed, Francis W. Hughes, and ever so many
other Northern Democrats whose acts and words
proved them in sympathy with the Rebels
throughout our great struggle?
What with the Hon. Ben. Wood, reelected to
Congress by Tammany Hall in the very agony OF
that struggle, while he was notoriously in fell
1owship and communion with the Rebels
throughout, and who was supplied by them
with 900 at one time 1--WE know not how
much at others) to enable him to carry out
their common purposes 0...
Understand that we make ne objection to the
hanging of radicals If they prove traitors to their
country. Give them all that the law allows
punishment of those conspicuous Democrats
who were implacablv and actively hostile-not
to the Administration, but TO the Government
during it's long, arduous, doubtful struggle with
red.handed treason from 1861 TO 1866? Speak
out!
