Th Miir.iWly of Ihe MaUrr.
No one can have failed to obsrrvo how
resoliitclv the advocates of secession ignore
tluv moral view of the present contest in
(lie Tinted States. Tluv discuss, or, at
least, iiuikii a show of discussing, its politi
nil, socjal, and economical bearings; but of
the morality "f the, matter Ihey have hoth
ing to say. They prefer not to consider
llio considerations of religious duly in
volved in it: and to hear them talk vocif
erously and exclusively about the. strictly
material features of the struggle, one might
be led to believe that there was no moral
it y in it
This is the prime error of secession the
fundamental falsehood upon which it has
erected its whom superstructure of heresy,
iniipiily, and untruth.
Can it be true that there is no right or
I wrong in tins contest: - that lucre is no
great moral principle involved in it? - that
it is mi rely a cunllict of inter, sis, in which
a sordid cvpedioncy is to be Ihe guide? Is
it true that a citizen may, without violence
to right, choosu whichever side he inclines
to, without consulting his conscience, and
without the fear of offending his Hod? Is
it a mere game of skill, or n mere trial of
strength, in which we may range ourselves
on this side or that, according to the die'-

X.i General, since the beginning of this
wicked rebellion, has been treated with tne
distinguished forbearance and consideration
khown Fremont. PutUrson was dismissed
without a hearing, liutler was taken from

short notice. Other ofiieers, like Harney,
Wool, and many we could name, have
been bandied about from pillar to post like
so many wooden pins- I!ut Fremont and
his depnrtinciit were visited by two mem

We snpttoso no man could or would
charge Fremont with cowardice or lack of

not the only Hchiral who has those neces

near Fredericktown. in Madison county,
which resulted in Ihe defeat of the forces

third serious engagement between the op

next after Lexington. This time, instead
