have seen Of it, it seems to have been

&c. One of our exchanges, the Buffalo
Courier is alarmed, lest such pictures of
hell will "make men unbclievers." Let
his anxious spirit be reassurcl! 1t is a
kind of "unbelief' that oue-sixtieth part
of minute in that other world will for
ever cure the unbeliever Of Lincoln's war,
into which we were pushed by Seward and
his co-concpirators for the destruction of
the noble fabric of government we inheri-
ted, and the ruin of the people, brought
multitudas of men bac, to the old orthodox
belief about hell. Many to whom fire,
stencil, &c. for the b ,dy, aal torture for
the soul, to all eternity, was hard doc

any system of universe that included the
wretches that started, and are keeping up
this horrible revolution would 'be incom-

that are fixed in their hate, where they

WHY NOT Try Holt Now that Con-
over is convicted Of PERJURY, why should
not Joe Holt, the head of the so-called
BuI Ieau of Military Justice, be put upon
trial? Why tryl and convict the mere
tool and agent and let the principal go
free? All that Conovor did was to conf
ply with the demands of Holt. lie was
furnished with the money by Holt, with
which to procure witnesses, in order to
prove that Davis was connected with the
assassination of Lincoln. He made such
a bungling job of it. that he exposed his
guilt, and compelled his employers to
make show of virtue by abandoning and
prosecutingss him. Suborners are every
whit as criminal as the principals, aud as
richly deserve punishment. They always
flourish where legal courts are suppressed
by lynch law ormilitary commissions. In
such times and places suborners and COM

REpUKn TO THE RADICAL DEsrRUcTrvEs.
We think it is vain for the republicans.
of Maryland to seek the interposition of
Congress to save them from the consc-
qucncess shortegihted policy. Congress
has no more right to interfere with the
State government of Maryland than it has
to interfere with that of Illinois, and :in
our opinion such proposition should be
frowned down, as asking for precedent
fatal to the security of every right with
which the States are clothed. and subver-
sive of th, fundamental doctrines of the
republic. If Congress may interfere with
Maryland because she is ruled by party
with which it has m sympathy. then it
may also interior in the case of Connect

Should get pt>S <son of the government
in 1868 they, "rnld, with such precc-
dent before 'i!rn, 60 to work fand recon
struct the government Of every State un-
der republican control TO establish such
precedent would be equivalent to q
dissolution of every State government
or, rather to reclamation Of the power
Of Congress to disso We every State govcrn-
ment, whose politics might not suit it,
and set up new one iii its stead. Ii is
more important to preserve government
of law than it is to remove temporary
evil by sweeping away the safe guards
of liberty.
The wild scheme of rcconstructing
Maryland BY Congressional action should
therefore meet with no favor from men
who respect principles Of constitutional
liberty. When Maryland and Delaware
I'D Kentucky become the only States in
the u.t>n that deny the ballot to the black
man, 1T vii! nvt require many years to Sc
