Year: 1862

The toue Of the Eastern journals and the
conduct of certain public men in the Atlantic
section, go to prove that the nation Is now 60
ing through the most dangerous crisis It has
ever experienced. The menacing danger is not
from rebel forces, for they could easily be de
feated and dispersed if it were not for the acts
Of pretended friends ueither is the great dan
ger 10 be apprehended from those IN the loyal
States who sympathize with the uublusbing
treason Of the South. The danger is 10 be
seen in the fact that powerful and unscrupu-
lous class Of men have more regard for partisan
ideas than anything else with them partisan
ship outweighs patriotism; they would sooner
see the country ruined Than fail 10 gain a cher
i>bed partisan object. This class of men are
those who gave tone. power vitality and force
to the old Republican organization, which or
gauization placed the present National Ad-
ministraiion in power. This class Of men now
seek 10 control the Administration and 10
make the armies Of the republic instruments
10 accomplish long cherished political object;
clamor seuselessly for that object without ap-
pearing TO have any practical idea Of how ii is
to be obtained; they would sooner SEE the
Union sundered into thousand atoms than to
see the authority Of the Federal Government
fully restored. if under the restora' ion negro
slavery is TO have q shadow Of an existence.

The control Of Fremont; IN the attempts of

led by one of their Governors, independent of
the Government at Washington in their va
rious attempts 10 take the management Of the
war out Of the hands Of tie Constitutional
Government OF the country and place it under
the control Of Independent communities, of fan
atical Jacobirs, who have no practical ideas
of either war or peace policy. Ii is the per
sistent Vaccinations of these radicals, bounded
on by such prints as The New York Times and
Post and led by such men as Sumner. Phillips
and " Wade, that have caused the recent alarm
ing rise in the price Of gold. The capitalists
OF the nation view their movements and
strength with alarm, aud cautious, timid capi
tal-hard earned capitals hiding in places
of security, where it may safely weather the
threatened storm, should il burst upon the IA
ton; and hence it is that gold to day com
mands an alarming high price.


The great, and almost the only danger now
threatening the nation is from the source al,u
ded to. If the Vaccinations OF the radicals
succeed, the days of the republic are numbered.


1t remains to be seen whether the ability of
the Government and the intelligence and pa
triotism of the masses are sufficient TO hold the
mischefmakers in check. II they are, the
country will pass out of the present most
threatening crisis and the nation become more
just, glorious aud powerful than ever. Lincoln
has thus far set himself firmly against the pre-
tensions of these mischief makers all of the
best men OF the country must rally TO his sup,
port, and defend the President of the United
States and the country from the assaults of
that faction through whose infuence Lincoln
was made President-I 5 F. Journal.
