FREE SPEECH.

Our readers are well aware that until
the Democratic rebellion, no anti-slayc-
ry man dare speak or write against
slavery in any the slave States, norin
many parts of the free States. When
the war broke out, all this was changed.
The Democrats then desired to preach
treason throughout the north, and when
this right was questioned, such a howl
for the freedom of speech and the press
as this party raised, the world had never
heard. We knew at the time that this
cry was hypocritical, and only meant
the right on one side-the right to
advocate the cause of treason. The
long ears of the Democratic animal are
beginning to stick out once more. The
old argument for mob law against anti
slavery sentiments thus set forth in the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
INrERMEDDLISG WITH SOUTHERN SOCIETY.
Says correspondent of the Gdrette:
"Whcn the Freedmen's Bureau Is smothered,
and the Federal bayonets arc withdrawn what
shall hinder the old treatment toward any who
shall carry Northern ideas south of the Ohi0?"
What should hinder Iii Society In one place as
much as in another Is of the people by whom 1t Is
constituted. Its rights arc their rights its inter
ess their interests and It's ordering Is thQir exclu

gotten rid OF, peacably If practicable, otherwise
lorcby No man would have been safe in New
England doing the equivalent of that which hun
dreds OF secret or open abolltionists did in the
Southern Suites for years before the war New
England was differently sluated had no class of
population that was suspected of being oombusli-
bic; offered no Inducements to the fOmcnters Of
Instructions and therefore New England was
eXemplary-had time to turn It's efforts to quar-
tcrs less iavorably Clrcumstanccd. The difference
In the condition was enough to account for the
difference IN the manners, without presuming any
special barbarlsm In Southern localities.
New England prOpagandism tended not only to
diyest Southern people Of their property, but So
cety of Its safety. Either of these Ollcnscs are
very we'll calculated to excite the passions Of men
and the latter especially by arrOlslng their fears
would naturally make them prompt and vindlct-
I've and 80 II should. II may be, that In some
localities, In consequence of feelings upon the
whole Justly entertained, some innocent persons
were brought to grief and suffered vlcariously
but II IL not probable all things considered, that
the sum of the punishment was greater than TIM
sum Of the desert.
II ls assumed to have been very audable mis-
sion for Northern men and women to 10 South
and inCite slaves to abscOnd or to teach them that
II was their duty to combine and In the cant Of the
day, strike for liberty" The assumption Is, In
every sense, false. Whatever may be the order Of
society, or OF the domestic relations In one place.
II Is not the concern of peoble belonging In an-
other. The interoping relOrmcr Is an ncendlary,
and deserves to bo punished In proportion to the
disturbance he seeks ia excite. Let the people Of
the North keep their Ideas ut home, with them
selves and they will keep cut of the way of doing
or meeting harm. Barbarous as they are, there Is
some sense and some Justice In the way the na-
tlyes OF New Zealand treat their missionaries
for the result always Is, ever In ghostly prOpa-
gandsm that either actually or symbOlically, one
party or the other has to be eaten. The North
has never yet done the negro any thing but injury,
and II never will and IL II has for him any mercy
In Its heart II will let him alone
