In was not becanse slavery was i'm.
moral that we fought over il, bnt be.
canse while II continued either slave
labor or free labor Mnst become un.
profitable. All this shows one i'm.
p0rtant truth that IL startling in ita
realitv--namely, that imitation means
war. Imitation means war--civil war
pressed upon the Atlantic States by
the West and Scuthwest.--Ner Tork
Herald.
IfAny luckless paper from the rural
s'desstrictss had published such scnti.
ments IA the above cditoriaily, COM
inission Of lnnacy would have been in
session on the editors case in no time,
and Ii perchance the verdict had been
in favor Of society, then The next cx-
planatory theory would have been
that old "Nick' had taken up his abode
in that sanctum.
There is no more responsible bust
meas calling iii indeed there are any
equal to iD than that of directing and
moulding public opinion through tho
great journals of the country. IL this
country shall, again suffer in the throes
Of rebellion, The responsibility
therefor will rest very greatly upon
say two score OF our metropolitan
journals, and it is a burning shame and
Disgrace that any great paper Of the
country should have the audacity and
impudencc to say that the action OF
Congress on financial matters means
war. Such conduct is perverscnesl
and comes or the Devil.
