TREACHERY SAFER THAN TREASON,

"Treason against the United States"
says the constitution, "shall consist only
in levyipg war against them, or in adher
ing to their enemies, giving them aid and
comfort" The Democratic party at the
South has long determined to establish
the principle Of exclusive independence
Of the States against all interference by
the Federal government. Before the war
this doctrine was commended to the peo-
pie by the fact of large population
held in bondage whose liberty might be-
affected through such intervention. The
attempt to establish this doctrine by force
Of arms was unsuccessful, and there is no
peculiar reason why the Southern States
may not accept the dominant doctrine of
the sovereignty of the whole people of
the Union. Yet we have seen the Democ-
racy steadily persist in attempting to
establish State sovereignty in another
way, equally effective and far safer to the
parties engaged in the effort The plan
has been
l. To profess ''our devotion to the con-
stitution of the United States, with its
amendments universally accepted as q
final settlement of the controversies that
engendered civil war;"
2. To nominate presidential candidate
and ticket who deny the right of the Fed
eral government to intervene for the pro-
lection of it's citizens resident within the
States.
8. To compel by physical intimidation,
business and social prescription, the solidi-
6cation of the late Confederate States in
favor of the Democratic candidates and
doctrine
1t is obvious that with the success of
this political conspiracy, the separate
States would be again sovereign, separate
md Independent of the na..on. State |

fleet to the objects of the conspiracy, and

pledge of the Democratic party may be

world goes It costs more to punish those
who do evil than would be necessary to
feed and clothe tho poor. This condition
of things can not be changed in mo-
ment There are evil men among Us who
will not forsake their evil ways. but such
men should be sent to the rear and not
placed as leaders. Let the people think
better of themselves, and do better; suffer
tho curtailment of no mans rights, en-
courage no violent men, uphold the law
and put down crime. and we shall COM
mence the building here Of an earthly
paradise that shall attract to it good
men and earnest workers from all parts of
the world. Let the good resolutions and
the good acts begin to-day, and continue,
and we shall have the wish and the fact
. happy new year.

made to effect exactly what successful
revolution could do.
It is greatly to be regretted that part
80 little in accordance with the sincerity
Of American character, or the Wanted
chivalry of the Southern people should
have been developed in the desperate
effort to escape from national supremacy
through the non-execution of the Federal
laws. It will be also very fortunate for
the country if the execution of this policy
shall be confined exclusively to the po-
litical treachery Of protesting the &C.
ceptance Of principles which conspiracy
has been thus found to annul. The ques-
ton seems now pending in the Demo-
cratic party whether to resort to force of
arms to install the agent adopted to repeal
the platform pledges which We have
quoted. 1t is very gratifying to see people
who manifested such determination to get
out of the Union, now placing the refusal
to entrust them with the administration
of the Union upon the issue of civil war.
Such zeal passes understanding, yet may
serve to convince the world of the re-
stored allegiance of those who, to secure
the existence of the Union, would "crush
its bones and drink its blood" But we
must deal with the dangerous treachery
of pretending to accept the final settle
ment of the controversies that engendered
civil war, and then to agitate another
civil war to effect the repeal of the doc
trine established and acknowledged in the
final settlement
This treachery will be found safer than
treason if it shall stop this side of '.levy-
ing war against" the United States. All
manner of defamation may be uttered
with impunity in print or speech. Every
species of intimidation may be practiced
by night riding and prescription in bust
ness or in social intercourse. Riots may
be suppressed, murders referred to the
courts for trial. These offenses are indi-
vidual, and may be met with the personal
penalties which the laws prescribe. To
''levy war" against the government is
fraught with consequences far more
serious. There are ultimate penalties
which may result, which it is to be
hoped for the msgnanimous reputation |
Of the nation may never be enforced, but
which may be apprehended, by which
even political party may fall under in the
next civil wal. Political treachery to pub
ished pledges has nothing to fear from
he laws. Freedom Of speech and opinion
IS sacred with Republicans. If, however,
his party possibly passes into civil war,
{ may be as we'll to reflect that the law
will be enforced. The pledge of final set
cement, thus resisted and evaded, will be
made binding, if the nation possesses the
,ower to protect its own life and punish
ny who may by open force or treachery
tempt its destruction.

The following notice Of DR.. DABNEY'S
recent work is copied from the July No.
of the British Quarterly Rsvisw (eyangeli-
caD, noticed by lis on Saturday: .-
! The SenSualiStic Philosophy of the Nine
tenth Century. BY ROBERT l.. DABNEY,
D. D., LII. D., Professor OF Divinity in
| Union Theological Seminary of the Pres
| byterian Church OF the South, Prince
Edward, Va, sc.
We suppose this is intended to be 4 popJ-
lar work, and philosophical calmncs> ard
scientific precision may not have been aimed
ut by the writer. But DR.. DABNEY writes
in so heated Il spirit and uses such yehe-
ment language that what ought to be phi
| losophical treatise reads like theological
malediction. The very name OF the book
| illustrates this. Hard words break no bones,
but neither they do any good; and why
apply the word "scnsualisHc" to Il philoso-
ply which for many years has been accu-
rately and much less Extensively designated
as sensationalism When we read Dr..
DABNEY's opening sentences we despaired OF
his work, so far as philosophy is concerned.
His second sentence runs thus: sWe shall
"see that it is a Just charge against the SEN
"sualistic philosophy that it not seldom in
"clineS its advocates TO this dominion ol
"beastly lllsts." Is there any possible cX-
cuse for this sort OF writing? 1t injuries the
cause OF those who have most at heart the
scientific reputation Of sensationalism in
philosophical spirit. We regret this all the
more-for this fault OF temper and treat
ment peryades the book-because Dr.. DAB
NEY dis plays considerable acuteness in many
OF his analyses, in his exposition Of the de-
fects Of the various systems OF, to use a long
term, Evolutionary Materialism; and espe-
cially in his criticisms OF the principles and
positions of those thinkers whose doctrine
of the relatively Of knowledge lead them 10
gically, il not always really, to sceptical
nescience. There is nothing new in his expo.
sure Of the falacies Of the late Sir WILLIAM
HAMILTON and the late DR.. MANsEL's views
regarding the infinite and the. absolute
but the criticism is keen and incisiye,
and the points are clearly taken.
We laye every sympathy also with
the exposure of the illogical conclusions OF
Mr.. HERBERT SPENCER, whose philosophy,
in our opinion, is vastly oyerrated; but no
treatment OF the English "sensualistic' y
philosophy will be complete without also
