This reminds us of the ancient maiden, when stoves were first put up in buildings and

WENDELL PHILLIPS, the great war horse of the radical party in power, made a speech in BEECHER'S Political Synagogue, in 1862, in which he declared:

"This is not a war of sections-it is a war of ideas-ending only when one idea strangles another, and not before. Peace comes when freedom holds the helm, and not before. Now, I would accept anything on the anti-slavery basis. I would accept separation. I would accept compromise. I would accept Union [the last and least with PHILLIPS]. I would accept peace, and pay the whole Confederate debt, at par, on the anti-slavery basis."

We assert, without fear of contradiction, that the class of Radicals from whose speeches and resolves we have so liberally quoted, and shall yet quote, have more influence over the Administration to-day, and the shaping its policy, than all those who style themselves "Conservative Republicans," combined, It was the clamors of the Radicals that forced from the President the Proclamation, but a few days after he refused to issue it.

Let us inquire the whereabouts and status of some of the leading Abolitionists.

Where, to-day, is OWEN LOVEJOY, the man who moved to table a resolution which ignored the establishment of a despotism on the ruins of this Government?

A member of the American Congress.

Where are the seventy-eight Republicans who voted with OWEN LOVEJOY to table said resolution?

High in the Republican synagogue.

Where, to-day, is THADEUS STEVENS, who scouted the idea that he obeyed his oath to support the Constitution, in voting to dismember Virginia?

Chairman of the most important committee in the American House of Representatives.

Where, to-day, is BINGHAM, the man who declared that slavery or the Union must perish?

In Congress, a leader among the "loyal." Where, to-day, is N. P. BANKS, whose easy loyalty would "let the Union slide?''

A Major General in the loyal army. Where to-day is CASSIUS M. CLAY, who refused to fight for his country, unless he could

Where is Senator WADE, who declared, there have his way about slavery? was no Union?

First appointed Minister to Russia, then In the United States Senate, as one of the honored with the commission and salary of a President's constitutional advisers.

Where is Senator HALE, who in 1850, introduced petitions for a dissolution of the Union? In the United States Senate, as one of the President's constitutional advisers.

Where is CHARLES SUMNER, who said at Worcester, the 7th of September, 1854, that it was the duty of the people to resist a law, even after it was decided constitutional by the highest Federal Court?

In the United States Senate, re-elected as one of the President's constitutional advisers. Where is Mr. SEWARD, the author of the "Irrepressible Conflict," and who voted to receive a petition for Dissolution of the Union, in 1848?

In Mr. LINCOLN's Cabinet.

Where, to-day, do you find the man who declared that any people had the right to revolutionize their Government, and establish another-who pronounced the Mexican war a wicked war, and declared that this Union could "not exist half free and half slave," and bestows the blessings of his power on those who have for over a quarter of a century denounced the Government of our fathers?

Acting as President of the United States!

Major General, with plenty to eat and nothing to do.

Where have you found ANSON BURLINGGAME, the Abolitionist who declared for a new Constitution, a new bible-a new GOD-in short, a new deal all round?

Appointed by Mr. LINCOLN to drink tea and eat ornamental mince pies in the Celestial Empire.

Where to-day do you find JOSHUA R. GIDDINGS, who in 1848 introduced a petition for the dissolution of the Union?

As Mr. LINCOLN's Consul to the Canadas. Where do you find HANNIBAL HAMLIN, the Vice President of the United States?

Leaving the presiding officer's chair to welcome WENDELL PHILLIPS upon the floor of the Senate, a courtesy rarely accorded to any civilian.

Where to-day do you find HORACE GREELEY, the man who stigmatized the American flag as a "flaunting lie," and cried, "tear it down?" As the editor of the leading Republican paper in America.

Where now is WM. LLOYD GARRISON, who pronounced our Constitution a "covenant with death, an agreement with hell?"

You will find him feted by Republicans, and, mobbing persons; by the arrest and imprisonaddressing "loyal Union" meetings!

Thus, we might go on ad infinitum, and show that each and every one from whom we have quoted “disloyal,” “disunion,” and "treasonable" sentiments, are now high in the confidence and employ of the party in power. Why, as WENDELL PHILLIPS said, the Republicans "don't know their own faces." They are now even ahead of the abolitionists of old. One cannot find a leading Republican of to-day who will acknowledge he would be in favor of the old Union which GARRISON declared to be a "covenant with death, an agreement with hell" -they and GARRISON believe the same thing now, and the reason that GARRISON has not some pet office, is, that he is honest in his denunciations of our Union, and will not take an oath to support the Constitution, while his Republican co-workers will, with a mental reservation to destroy it.

SUPERSTITION AND INTOLERANCE.

A man's peculiar natural characteristics are not guaged by his belief, but his belief, whim or caprice, are often the offsprings of his natural, or national characteristics. What a vast difference have we always observed between the two great leading parties of this country, even from its earliest period. The Federals, in power from 1796 to 1800, were arrogant, conceited and intolerant. They could not bear to tolerate the least opposition to, or criticism upon their measures. No matter how wild or destructive those measures, all must tamely acquiesce, without complaint. The sedition law was the offspring of this partizan reticence. Opposition was sure to call down on the victim, persecution.

Nor did the Federals waive this intolerance when they went out of power, but they kept it up, insisting on their prerogative to force obedience to their behests, and more than tolerance of their dogmas.

Nor has this particular characteristic forsaken that classification of men to the present hour. Witness their inflamatory denunciations of all those who do not endorse their every extreme idiosyncracy. You must believe that slavery ought to be abolished, constitution or no constitution, or you are a "traitor." You must believe that it is right, and a "military necessity," to put down and silence all criticism on public measures, by suppressing and

ment of dissentients, under the law of "suspected persons." You must believe that the constitution is a "covenant with death" and the Union a "league with hell,” or you are a "secessionist." If you believe in the "Union as it was, and the constitution as it is," including the article providing for amendments, you are a "copperhead." In short, if you do not endorse every act of the Administration, as just and proper, you "oppose the war," and ought to be sent "over the lines."

Such is the spirit of intolerance of that class of persons who have always opposed the Democracy-with a few honorable exceptions. Not so with the Democracy, for no recording

of history has shown or can show that during the Democratic adminisiration of Mr. JEFFERSON, when we were threatened with a war with France, that any opponent was arrested, and punished without "due process of law"-and under the Democratic administration of Mr. MADISON, when the nation was in a death-like grapple with the most powerful nation on the globe-no arbitrary arrests were made-no newspapers suppressed -- no printing offices mobbed--no system of provost marshals to intimidate, annoy and arrest people, without charge or accusation--no indemnifying acts to shield officers guilty of striking down civil and personal liberty without cause-no deportation beyond our lines. In short, none of those intolerant, revolutionary means were resorted to, although, as we have shown in these pages, there was abundant cause for the most energetic and summary measures, Mr. MapISON might have arrested thousands of leading, wealthy and influential citizens of the Eastern States, with specific charges of treason and misprison of treason, and been content to have rested the prosecution in open court on their own published acts, resolves and speeches.

But Mr. MADISON did not do it. And herein consists the great difference between the characteristics of the two great parties of this country. The present party in power-intolerant and proscriptive as their Federal sires, have made thousands of arrests-most of which had not the merit of being based on charges, even, and none of which, so far as we have ever been able to learn, have ever been followed by proof that treason was either committed or intended.

BLUE LIGHTS AND BLUE LAWS.

And before we introduce our "ancient tes-ready been put to death-eight more were untimony," we wish to enter our protest against that indiscriminate denunciation against our Puritan fathers, which many indulge. The Mayflower brought many good, As the Puritans passed blue laws, the better liberal and generous spirits as well as bad, to silence opposition to their illiberal ideas and illiberal, arrogant and intolerent ones. That dogmas, so their progeny burned blue lights to early lump of emigration was leavened with a signal the enemy in war, and thus at times in fair proportion of Democracy, from which our history, have rendered the cause of persprang many of the leading, liberal Democrat-sonal rights and civil liberty, to say nothing of

ic ideas of our age. They were the pioneers of those free and liberal ideas that have for the most part governed our people for nearly two centuries.

But a large majority of the early Puritans were bigoted and intolerent, and to trace the genealogy of the illiberal and intolerent ideas of the present age to their proper source, we copy from an old work written in the latter part of the 17th century:

"The Quakers were whipped, branded, had their ears cut off, their tongues bored with hot irons, and were banished upon pain of death, in case of their return, and actually executed upon the gallows."

At a subsequent date, says another work: "The Quakers prosecuted the Protestants with all manner of cruel atrocities," &c.

National existence, blue indeed.

Among the laws alluded to in this early history, were the following:

"No one shall travel, cook victuals, make beds, sweep house, cut hair, or shave on the Sabbath day.

"If any man shall kiss his wife, or wife her husband, on the Lord's day, the party in fault shall be punished at the discretion of the court, or magistrate.

"No woman shall kiss her child on the Sabbath or fasting day."

To these provisions of law, the historian appends the following note:

[ocr errors]

'A gentleman, after an absence of some months, reached home on the Sabbath, and meeting his wife at the door, kissed her with an appetite, and for his temerity in violating the law, the next day was arraigned before the court, and fined, for so palpable a breach of the law on the Lord's day."
