One after another the pillars of the Union and the Constitution have been pulled dowu by these bad men; and at every expostulation from those who saw the danger, and were awake to the ends designed the tvraius ve claimed that it was all done in behal ;f the Union. "When the writ of Iml eus corpus was suspended, it was leleiiued on the ground of necessity to save the union; when slavery was. interfered with, the excuse was, that it war, a necessity to .save the union; when the mails were violated; it was claimed to be justified by necessity; when innocent men were seized and dragged away from home put upon trial before a tribunal uaknuvai to law it was urged that the public safety required it. When Minis ters of the 1 1 o el were deposed who re fused to bend the knee to the behests ot the ivraiit it was justified 011 the ground of purifying the chureh and making it conform to loyalty as interpreted by tyrants. "When the sovereignties of the States were invaded it was claimed that they should yield f r the pi'.rpose of having the union. When the currency was tampered with land the true slamlaru gold and sil ver were legislated to an equality with j;reenbacks.'' it wss justified 0:1 the score of saving the union. "When elections were interfere'! with and the right oi suffrage eomp'et'dy put at the option f military u-nrpcrs the union was to be saved thereby. When negroes were raised to the dignity, or rather, when white men were de-rided to a footing with neirro .soldiers it was to save the union. r-ar .tf'.er vc:ir the North has respoi.ded to the rail- of the President to save the imbm as lie siclare l, and yet imne of these things l-tv. s-:,V: 1 it.

That it was so made in order to deliver the country from the evils of a Federal ( Jovernmcnt, is known to every one who has read the history of the country." (xazttle. In the first place, strictly speaking wc never had a National (L)vernment. Our fJovernmeut is a Kederal, not a National system. It derives all its powers from the States. It can exercise no power that the States have not cxprcsly given to it. It is a nere Agent oftha States. The States are the principals to the constitu. tional compact The (!uU:s theory is a singular one, that the creature is supreme over the creator. Talk about the ;National" rovcrnmtnt being supreme, w heu I it has not the authority even to authorize I the collection cf a promissory note tiiven by one citizen of a State to another citizen of the same Stute. Talk about it be"j ing supreme, when it would tease to exist merely by the States not appointing Presidential elector:? or members of Congress. Hear Thomas JefTerson. We quote from the seventh volume of his works, page oöS. He say;-:: ''With respect to our State and Federal Jovcrnment, I do not think their relatione correctly understood by foreigners. The' generally suppose the former State subordinate to the latter. JUit this is ntt t.'tc V'TSr. They are co-ordinate departments of one single and integral whole. To the State governments are resti ve I all legi.-lation and administration in a Hairs which concern theirown citizens only, and to the Föderal (jovcrnment is given what ever concern foreigners r the citizens of other States -these functions alone are Federal. The one is the domestic, the other the reign branch of the same Government. There are only one or two cxcepli Iis to this partition of 'power.

O 7 i i nil. u, jtiaiiu.ii, .'iii.i, f,ii(i.', tu. x lie aforesaid Society wickedly proclaims a ''War I'olicy" in New York, Pennsylvania, and other States, while in the Western States it is for "iVaee.'

'Tims', John Smith is marked down as taking one copy of Thi tSt. L'-n's Jipnf,fi'rat', and Tom Jones two copies of Tlo i .linn, and so on; but a key to his register shows ihat the copy of the papers .signifies, a rifle or two revalvers, e. The members obligate tiiemcelves, to each operate in his own fetate, but in case cf arrest or detec tion, not to divulge his membership on s 7 ,1 1 . j p-'iin oj l'th lyt-.rtureV Jhe rules ol the Order declare that own State, but in case cf arrest or detec John Smith the plagued rascal I must stand to have his leu's twisted, his teeth knocked down his throat, his hair pulled, his fingers displaced, his eyes board out in short, suffer all manner of malpractice rather than '-let the cat out of the j bag!" And Tom Jones is expected, if hc not-s into a t hr the suite '' ohn Smith! TIl F-word of the first degree is said to "Nuohlac !., The signal of distress is given as "Ocuonr, Ovhonc, Ochonel' 'How are ye, me boy''" Members arc to wear certain kinds of cravats, with certain kinds of pins, and other paraphernalia. Kvcry man is expected, at least, upon all occasions to wear a shirt ! Rebellion in the North is to be precipitated; the persons of Governors to be seized ! Jiut think of some bloody member of the "Order ot American Knights' takinir into his arms the precious little person of our gay and festive Chief Magistrate, and running away with him, perhaps two thousand miles above Cairo, on the White Xile, in Africa to the land whence comes the gigantic Hypoporamus, which is one of the unique attractions in the Cataclysm of Wonder- ! And such stuff as this is telegraphed over the country by the Administration knaves to be swallowed duwn by Abolition fools The "loyal" papers say these developments "leaked out" too soon ! Bah! The whole thin is one of the humbims of the "working Uppers" of the Abolition party. The people may lo)k out for such noiiheuco as this from now until after the Presidential election. The "Bleeding Kansas" game uf lS.jfj to be re-onaetedj the secret machinations of the Secret Societies ;.f Abolitionism are to be covered up by raising a smoke about pretended cret s'JiL'tie.i in tin boiaocracv.

Ther is a Plot a deep laid Plot a determine 1 VIA scent in the Abolition ranks, and imblie in the ranks of the Demncney t-j defeat the re-election of Abraham iducohi through the ballot box. One of the public conimaudcrs of this horrible l'lot is 31jor (lencral John Charles Fremont ! the other leader of the Conspiraey to defeat the ,'Ulunlering J51ack guard" to use Greeley's language will be the. nominee of the Chicago Convcntion ! The entire people are in the Conspiracy, and the only ''signal of distress" manifested, is by the office holders ami public plunderers who alone will shout iOt'hui:e, O'-Jione, Oc ft on el Co'umlus ( O.) St'rfesnwn. V Canadian View oi fJiitolns ''To V ho:n il winy L,lnl'II., From the Quebec Chronicle. After the opening of negtiations which promised at least that a meeting would be accorded to the southern commissioners in a spirit of liberality and fairness, one of those infamous attempts to set all generous feeling at defiance, and to gite to the approach to peace its full quietus, Was addressed uTo whom it may concern." Why does not peace or war concern the whole nation? Docs the wretched old jester of the White House, amidst all the coarseness and ribaldry iu which his whole life appears to center, know nothing better than the concoction of so absurd and illdisguised aversion of the desire on the part of the South to treat. Have not his shoddy vampires had sufficient of the nation's life blood, that they will not be forced from the hold they have upon the carcass? How long will these people of the North shut their eyes to these glaring ' I in. I.w..iiwic V If.iW lnli.r Will tlieC liMld their aid to the blood thirsty Moloch that ravages their country with ruthless des-poti.-in and slaughter? Mr. Lincoln has never before done the South so great a service. Never have they been placed, in the eyes of the civilized world, favorably as the mean ami inhuman rejection of the desire to negotiate has aeeompli.died. A Canadian journal reports that several 'considerable droves of horse-, purchased in Wc.-tern Cauala, on Confederate account, have passed lown on the royal mail steamers luring the p:u;t few days, destiiicl Ibr Quebec. At that port, it is understood, they will be tdupped for a Mexican port, and thence pas.-cd overland into the Confederacy."

igh( Visions of tiic War. I cannot sleep! Why? Midnight is without a moon ! without stars ! The hour is sulleu and still. Why should a man sleep when all nature is quiet in the darkness? There is a world within a man not always in harmony with the world

without. What availeth a quiet j.illow to ! an unquiet spirit ? Mad thoughts of war , , : . . , rush through my brain! War between r j my countrymen ! between bone of mv bone, and ficsh of my flesh ! An ocean of blood ! mountains of dead ! My countrymen ! my friends ! Two bundled thous and widows ! Five hundred thousand orphans! O God, I shall go mad ! I am torn with alternate fits of rage and shame. All day I read of nothing but levies of troops; equipments of troops; the drafted; the conscripted. See nothing but soldiers marching and counter-marching in the detested and damnable evolutions of murderous war. Hateful sight! It burns into my eyeballs; it tortures my heart by day; freezes my blood. I carry the cursed vision to my pillow; night is made hideous. My brain is on fire. In agony I begin to pray. My prayers fall in broken ejaculations in curses. I call upon God to curse abolitionists, the authors of the ruin. I remember the commandment of the divine One, who said "love your enemies." I begin to pray fur them but my heart smites mo in the face. If I lned them. I should hate nryself. If I did not hate them, I should not love my country. I said this land was the abode of peace the abolitionist has made it one of war. We were a humane and enlightened people we lived in fellowship around the altars of our fathers he has driven us apart, ami thrown those altars down in blood. All nations feared and respected us. All nations despise us. Our name rose upon the people of the earth like tli2 sun after a night of storm he has made it a morn of blool. Our States stood forth as distinct and harmonious as the planets of heaven in their orbits he has set them Hying apart like meteors of fire. Alas! I remember the glowincr werds 1aV . .1 .11 (11. 1 .1 ...1 i 1 I " I'll i i l i 1 II 1.

Never shall I sec myself among the respectable personages of thy Areopagus; never shall 1 be pvc.-v'ut at the deliberations of thy Congress. I shall die without having seen the retreat of toleration, of manners, of laws, of virtue, and of freedom. My ashe will not be covered by a free and holy earth; but 1 shall have desired it; and my last breath shall bear to Heaven an ejacu lation for thy prosperity." Alas, good Abbe, rest quiet in thy grave ! Never more open thine eyes to look upon this wretched country ! O, fcck not to "be present at the deliberations d' our Coii'TOSs." Praw closer the mantle of the grave over thine eyes, that thou mayest not he humiliated by our own shame. O look not upon this doomed land! Thirty millions of white men lose their liberty in a bloody strife for negroes! Would that I had been iu the grave with th.ee, before mine eyes hal seen the desolation of my country! O, 0ol, in Thy wrath smite the foes of the white man ! Smile the enemies of my country ! Put lire in the hearts of Thy people; put steel into their hands! Teach them that they are not the sons of cowards, nor the descendants of slaves ! 0, give wrath to their strength ! Iet their thoughts be like flame, and their words like cannon balls! Let black anarchy perish! Let the usurpers and the despots die ! Pet my country live! Old duard. Abolition "Zanies." Mr. flreeley, in an article in the New York Tribune in regard to the late abortive peace negotiations at Niagara. Palls, says: 'If the South really knew the actual state of feeling at the North, the rebellion would not stand another month. The zmics in the loyal States who talk athuuuh a bruad empire could be subjected to mi lit ary execution supply the venomous, doperate traitors in Pixie with the very aliment they need; and we deeply regret that one f the resolves of the late Paltimore Convention seems calculated to yive them a lilt, (ieneral Fremont did a wise, generous, manly act. in stamping instead of standing on the wholesale confiscation' plank of the Cleaveland platform, thereby aiding t smooth the path to peace." ''any" is a word not in every day use. and there may be a few readers who tlo not understand its precise significance. According to Pr. Worcester's big Pi et i Hilary, a zany is "u fool;" "a merry-rndrew;?' "a buffoon;" "a clown." Pccause wc and other Pemoerats have denounced as savage ami inhuman the abolition doctrine oi' universal confiscation oi' tko rebel property, we have been denounced a- traitors" and ''rebel .ympithiy.cn."
