We quote from the Journal of yes terdjr, 0 tint it 111 a j be aecu we do it no injus tice: Those who thought our esp-nure of the treasonable "Mutual Protection" fas humbug, o.' n lrihtenel fatter of ho rue over sensitive patriot, will e now that the eridence is petting strong and tlti'.k and terrible. The names of ttome of the "League" are weil known, and they may find oori that treason, ecret or ojhjii, is an unsafe ame to play at. For months the editor of the Journal litis ad-Tl-ed hi.s readers and the public that he ha been in po.s.esjion of information that a treasonabie League" lias been in existence, in operation, throughout Indisn and the loyal States, und that the names of some of iu members are well known, vet that information it with hold from the public. He can, with the utmo-t indifference, see the fu.e lighted and burning which is to fire the magazine that, in iLj explosion, will destroy life and property, and yet refuse to glre the Alarm which would prevent the catajtrophy or modify the damage. Can there be imagined a more cold hearted counlre! than one who would occupy such a position? And the man who pretends to have tuch infurm ition, in fact advertises to the world that he has, is not a whit better than he who knows that the design exists to fire Uis neighbor's dwelling, yet fails to give the alarm or information which would prevent ita destruction or even injury. If the Journal h id any evidence whatever that a treasonable "Mutual Protection" iengTie existed in Indiana it would have given it to the world, but it had none The charge was a slander, manufactured out of whole cloth, m ide t t advance partisan schemes.

and for Mich a motive the Journal became the ;

slanderer knowingly and wilfully. Yesterday the Journal reproduces a letter.

On Thursday Senator ; Lath am, in the Srnatc, offered a resolution w hich . hail (or iU object the production of this letter from , the files of the Sute Department and which it is said was accidentally intercepted. This "docu ment" implicates ex President I'll eck as a mem- , berof the "league," and states that at its date.! October 5th, IMiI, the "cause is miking good! propres" in Indiana. Upon such evident e the Jomrmml reiterate it charge trmt treasonable , "Mutual Protection" league exists in Indiana "treason as rownrdlr Hi it malignant all through the Northern States' This is tjiervilence that it term "strong ni thick an-I terrble."

A a loyal citizen, if he is ?Uih, it is his duty to mike this exposure. We call upon him, a we have rri eate.H v lot.e. to give the names of some of the treasonable "LeAuw" which are known to him.

Now if any indiviJual in that locali tr had receive! and Merit awsy within a thort time sixty letters, of cour.-e it must be knoan at the postoffice, and, as far as we can learn, this tet also failed. Again, we have already, in a former paper, showu that its reference to President Pierce was wholly false in every particular. This makes Tour different tets, which, being applied, demonstrated beyond the possibility ol a doubt that the letter was not genuine, and could only have been fabricated for base purposes. Yet, notwithstanding all this, Mr. Hopkins was an e-ted while in this city, and his trunk and papers sent to Washington, and himself to Fort Warren, and after re tnaininr in the prison three or four mouths, was released without examination, und without trial, ahowing that the Department, on their own examination of the case, found nothing against him. If the department at Washington had placel any confidence iu the letter, irAy did thru not atrtft 1'rrtident Vitrcr? He was the man to arrest, not an obcure individual, located in an ob fcure part of a loyal State, far from the revolted States and from any opirtunity to aid the rebels in arms. Oh, there a black and damning tec ord, in this matter, against xome of the United States KcpuhlicJU oilicials In this Slate, which pome Jay w ill be brought to light. Whether the artet was from malicious or mercenary motives, or both combined, will some day appear. It is

ftem to be worthy of some reflection. If, however, as neems probable, tl is questior. is to be forced upon us at the election next August if the choice of Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of State if the election o! members of the Legislature, by whom two Senators iu Congress are to be chosen if the election of nine representatives in Congress are all to be decided on this i.ue. we say let it come. If our people can provide the ways and means to pty titty millions ol dollars, or even the half of that sum the Federal Government assuming to pay the other half before our slaves can be turned loose upon the country, and candidates can be found to put the election on this issue, let them come forth and stand by this tax. The men vho espouse this doctiiue profess great revetet.ee for the Constitution and law, and make a parade of their morality. It mav not be the most judicious time for such a conte.-t. but if forced to the issue the friends of the Constitution and the rights!" the people of Missouri will meet it.

violations of constitutional rights w Inch ever 1 devot on to the Constitution is concerned, and

disgraced the annals of a free people.

In tegard to Mr. Hopkins we will say we neither know him or cure tor him, except as w. care for the great constitutional rights which have been .so grossly violated in his person without any pressing national or State exigency requiring it We have never seen him, have never written to him, in fact, neither of tlie editors ol this paper, until his arrest, knew that there was such a man in existence. He h.s never corres Minded w ith this paper, as charged, since it came into the hands of the present proprietors, nor do we believe he ever did before. If he was guilty of disloyalty he ought to have been punished, but he should have had the privilege accorded to all freemen, of meeting his accusers face to face. Uut this is a digression. The letter, as we have conclusively shown, is a fabrication. There was a design in writing it. We believe it was written in this city and is 11 part of a conspiracy which we will be able to show up iua few days, and fasten the guilt where it belongs. A Tremendous Conflict in Prospect A correspondent of the Louisville Journal, whom it eays is "a finely educated Northern cit-

ien," writes us follows from Nashville, under'

date of the 'J Ith inst: No close o1e. ver of the movements and counter movements of the armies of the two belligerents lor the past few weeks can doubt that a battle is soon to be fought, which, in magnitude and destruction of life, lias as yet had no parallel in the w holecourse ol this inguinal v stiile. The Confederates aie marshalling their hoiits from the Potomac to the Indian Territory, and from Island No. 10 to the Southern Gulf, llraxtoti J&ragg comes from his lonesome prison at Pensa cola and Mobile Hay, bringing his well drill ed if not well disciplined army of artillerists to the number of thirty thousand. Kvans, the Georgian, comes from Manassas with the flower of that army, who fought us last July iu numbers about forty thousand. Johnston, the renowned Albert Sidney, t)f Mormon and Bowling Green notoriety, with his army, which a sdiort month since tied in such a panic through this quiet city, bast restored order to his command and bow comes to wipe out the dishonor ot that 11 edit with about twenty thousand men. Then comes Kev. General Polk, marshaling his hell hounds from Columbus and the river batteries, in all about thirtv thousand. Then they haenu merous other Generals w ith numerous other hosts from the various States of the southwest, till tl.e rebels have concentrated a force, whose right wing rests at Deratnr, Ala., and left at Island No. 10 in the Mississippi river, the whole forming a semicircle of atout two hundred thousand men under the be-t rebel Gen. Pierre Totitant leau regard. Their forces are weil arranged to take advantage of a victory, which they expect will surely crown their einieavors; and indeed they have an army more foi midab'.e iu all respects than iinv we have vet encountered. Ueaure

upon them, and upon no little knot of fanatics, must the President and his Cabinet rely for sup ort through the perils that await them in the future. If a restored Union is indeed the grand desideratum, and not impracticable schemes of emancipation and colonization, the best manner of proceeding is to continue to deal fairly with the confiding border States is the strongest argument that can be put forward t convince those further South. That infinite mischief has been done already by the legislation tolerated ul Washington, if not encouraged there, is mostap patent! And minchuj in this case means m re bloodshed, mote ruin, more of all evil that effects a common country; because it is ot such legislation that material is furnished for vile men to still further influence their dupes to their du struction. Who can tell, in this coiiiiec.iou, the murderous results of one act of fanaticism the silly and mad "proclain ition" of Gen. Phelps, mi ollicer ot the Government, operating in Louisiana. We hear, indeed, that the Government f rowned uoii the criminal f olly in that inst nice; but what It's.s was that "proclamation" as calcu I. Med to stir up sedition than the appeals of Yancey or Wise, or any other arch traitor, and why tolerate at Washington action from leading fanatics in no whit less mischievous and deplorable? The course is plain. Only a strict adherence to the Constitution can save us; and upon that adherence the loyal have a right to insist. For tun atcly for all, theiu is no ambiguity about that great instrument no prolixity; and when fanati cism would attempt to wrest its provisions to impracticable and w icked purposes, it must be fear-le.-aly and promptly rebuked. l?et ween an alliance with such at:d the loyal let the lines be plainly drawn, for only the loyal are sufficient in numbers to light the great battle of the Union. To icly upon extremists anywhere is madness. One set have tried it in the South let not the Government imitate their example in the loval States. That the Capital of the nation has been abused of late by being made the headquarters of a pestilent faction is to be deplored, and that its intluesec has already been felt must be acknowl edged. Hut w e hope and trust f or something better iu the future, because conservative men, on whom largely rests the fate of the nation, must hive learned the evil of such a condition of things, manifested, to a certain degree, in the outspoken condemnation elicited from so manv

quarters.

We repeat, let us hope for the best. .-

XV hut Dors lite South Want! We look to a restoration of the Union. For that our soldiers die. For that the North is w illing to pay. For that we should be ready to make all necessary sacrifices.

Kichardson, thsn whom a truer ptitriot doca n t exist, on the subject of his declination of the office of Hrigdier General, tendTel him by the President, says: "The greatest battle for constitutional liferty is to fe fonpht in Congress, and before the jeople." The rebellion cm be crusheJ by the trong p)wertifthe people futaining the "arm of the Government. There is a greater battle than that to be fought. The hosts of the enemy are collecting in force to assault thestronghol Is ot the Constitution. Kv en now the attack is made. The Sumners, the Lovejoys, the Chandlers, are marshalling their troops and the ran guard has already opened fire upon the constitutional bulwarks. Kichardson was right when he said the "greit est battle was to be fought in Congress and before the peop'e." The party in power, exercising that power to consummate a long cheri.-hed plan for a war upon Southern institutions, like the Hritish government, seize upon this season of the nation's great calamity, as the time when it can be accomplished, and trampling upon legal and cons'ilutional right, and treating the Constitution itself as "an agreement with death and a covenant with hell," propose to prosecute their schemes to a bad success, at whatever hazard. Congressional enactments are to be the method proposed as the groundwork of the movement. This will give them color of law foi future pro ceedings If their view in this matter can be cairied out in Congress, it gives this clan of tousjiir itors the command of the army and navy, and who doubts tint the w hole immense power which thev thus could wield, would be exerted to ciush out, not the rebellion, but the institutions of the South. Tcv value the liberty of the lave above the rights of freemen. They value the success of their own pla;s more than they value the Union, and to-day the leaders of that unscrupulous faction w ould rather that the Union frhould be blown to a thousand disintegrated atoms and slavery de.'troved than that the conntry should be restored to its original condition under the old Constitution. Such men are earnestly laboring to get ossession of the Government. No means will be left untried to accomplish this end. Threats, deception und chicanery w ill not be too low in the scale of corruption to escape their notice. This is that "greater battle for constitutional liberty in Congress" to which Mr. Kichardson alludes. He is right in supposing that he is needed there more than he is in Virginia or iu Tennessee. Hundreds of thousands of brave and patriotic men are thete to drive rebellion into tlie Gulf. Putin Congress where are the hosts to deiend tlie Constitution? Hut there are a few gallant hearts that will battle to the last, and if corruption and fraud shall prevail, if sectional fanaticism shall rule theie, unci the battle there be lost to the supporters of the Constitution, then an apjeal to the people will be made by tho-e valiant and patriotic souls, and the great battle there must be finally fought. Prophetically true were the words e have quoted from Mr. Kichardson, and wise and patriotic wa he to forego the honors offered that he might fight the battles of his country iu a position where he was most needed.

DRY COODS.

Tlie .'VI 11 acli titelt Convention. We complete to day the publication of a sketch of-the Massachusetts Convention which ratified the United States Constitution. This abridcement of the long and interesting debates will serve to show tho.se who have read it what weie the jaiints of special difficulty iu forming a Union of tlie States, perhaps quite as well us would a sketch of the Federal Convention itself. It was manifest that no Union could be had so loni; 11s any one State insisted on the adoption of its institutions for all tlie country, ami it w as only y yielding one and another desire bv one and another State that a Union of all was at l ist effected. There were some points iu this Mass.i chusetts Convention worthy of special notice in our own time. Some radical men in that Slate opjiosed Washington because of his views on slav cry, and one man in the Convention expressed the opinion that Washington was depreciated fifty pet cent, in his estimation by the fact of his owning slaves. It will also be remarked by readers of this debate that there was an "on to Uit-hnoind'' party iu revolutionary times, and that Washington was attacked, as Mt.CIelhin is now at&fked, for not moving on when the outcry of ceitain xditiciuns demanded it. The nation has cau.e Vi he grateful, as tlie writer 01 this abridgement remarks, that a Union was formed w ith slav eholders like Washington, and also it is to be remembered now with devout thanks that he was able to resist the "hounding on" of the radical men in his time, and he was not dejajsed from his command for offending them by his re fusil. We would be glad to see, in these times, a che ip edition of the Madison papers, relating to

the Federal Convention. It would be a most de sirable work to place in the hands of the people now, and we suggest it for the benefit of any enterprising publisher. It is very inqiortant that the spirit of the i rimers of the Constitution should be revived among us. A new isrn has been lately introduced into American politics. It may be styled unity-ism in opisitioi. to tlie Union. The proposal to make tlie nation homogeneous, and the principle is that the Union can only be perma nent as tlie nation becomes a unit in institutions and opinions. The next step would lead us to one reiigion, and the same men would demand that we all worship God alike. They will argue that Protestants and Catholics can not unite in a Government unless they make a coalescing institution in their religion. Politically, this new dogma tends to :t consolidated government with a despotic head. Radicalism demands a universal concession to itself, a bowing down of nil men to ; it tenents. This doctrine is taught abundantly by imported Republicans from Europe. It was j laid dow n by Carl Schurz two weeks ao and applauded by his audience. The best refutation it could have would he a study of the delates in the Federal Convention where the Union was formed 0:1 the grand foundation of mutual concession?. Jiifir. of Com. m m 1 Wknpkli. Phillips in Troihi k. The eg-no- i inhiiou- reception of Wended Phillipps at Cincin- j rati is objectionable on abstract principles, both 1 in ordinary and extraordinary times. Fietdotn J of speech is the most valued birthright of every , citizen. Hut ev en Phillips, like Jell. Dav is, must ; concede that it is not site to talk o: fight against ; the Constitution at a distance from the meridian of Washington and out of sight of the hills of; Congress. A. Y. isun.
