Stru- mg for liberty and determined net to sub mit to a. tyranny attempted to be fastened upoa these malcontents rrofss. to bo alarmed lest that our Government, which J.aa been inaugurated to resist this tyranny ard wrong, frhotdd itself practice injustice and op pression "pon its citizens.

It U enough to saddf.n the ht-art to witnpys .the daily attardes which via being inad upon th Government in va rious ways froin certain quarter.-. Every m.vrmer:t is nngrrerouIy if not maliciously ctiticijcd, and nothing dons by tho Gorrn ruet kceir.s to give t-atirfactim to this claps. Men who profres to be. the exemplars of loy alty, neyertbelc-ss encourage disloyalty by illr timed criticism, and in giving verst to centi n.tLtU whi :h they claim to bo for the protec tion of tho people against the onoroaclrjier.ta of the Government upon their lights. Tho outrpoken tory, who ceaipiair.s of tb.o Government bc-cause r.t heart he hates it, can bo reached by tha laws enacted for his pun ishment ; while the croaker, the stirrer np of dis?uti-faction and repugnanca to the Gov ernment, is allowed the Iargcot liberty. Everything in turn has been complained of buc the currency has come in for the largest share. The currency the currency ey these disparagers of every thing, is ruined l.cyor.d redemption gross misman agement on the part of the Government has rendered the currency worthless. Is- this true ? Or, in the fair invtetiration cf the fuLject, are not "we tho people" g'uilty of tho charge of destroying the value of our Government money ? The Government has issued no more money than was de.n;audrd by the people. Much les-, it is true, wuuld "have been better, and been sufficient, if tho people had been less greedy. Cut the dvsirc to grow rich, and the uuwiliingnes to tako a farewell look at the " llesh potg of Esypt," hro brought upon us tho financial troubles which are unjustly charged to the Government. Yankeo a:-d foreign luxuries were called for by tho rich and prosperous ; and iu order to gratify thse demands, all sorts of costrivan caa were resorted to for " niDninir the block ade," in order to import them-; and with. this "runrdng," began tho depreciation of cur money. The Government discour.tenar.cad t " lavor- I , t)eca,uu Jt StiUed- their pampered pride I extravagance. As luxuiifs wen smusded in, gold was conveyed out ; until the precioua metal, from the en'ormcus trade demand for it, was enabled to put its foot upon Confederate mony. Gold ony would buy foreign and Yauseo luxuries ; and the hohl, rs of gold, knowing this fact, detr.ai dd enormously large prices for it. Cy this means the Southern pecpld, or pome of them, have, by th ir own ( folly, elevated gold to a position far ab.ve its merits; and if Confederate money. Is worth but little, they, and not the Government, have made it so. Had there bum no blockade run ning except on Government aeconnt for mu fdtions of war and supplies for our armv, Confederate njoncy 9vou!d not have been placed at the disparaging discount of twenty fivo dollars for one dollar in gold and the country woujd have bceii much farther ad vanced oa the road to independence. .r The publication of Stanton's lying war bulletins in Southern papers, and the copying cfs.. much from northern journals of Yankee success and Confederate defeats, known lo be without any foundation in,trnth, we think very questionable policy. Their perusal tends to the excitement of feir and alarm among our pinple, for whon time is no occasion A gentleman remarked to in yesterday, that he had n ,i 1 so much of n.n ther i victories lately, taken from the ivj.-iher.i piinls, th-r. in snite of hi knowledge to en's contrary, ho . fourd himself behaving them to be true. It would be well, vo respectfully submit. that the avalaucho of Y aukeo falsehoods poured upon Southern readers through South- rn prints, be at least 'reduced in quantity, and that what is iver., be accompanied by the announcement that they are fal.se, exag gerated or true, a i!- case may be. Tho di'l'culty in arriving at wbati true in the news, U hard enough, without confusing our people with Yankee fakthoeds We regrn to see fro n our ' i . . . religious C2- mauges, tnat most of them are reduced to the gre-i c,t sir.dts to keep their heads above water. This is lamentable. .Never did we need more than now their elevating moral in fluence in giviug tone lu public sentiment. We exchange with papers of every denomina tion, and can truthfully say, amongst our long list cf exchanges wo place religious papers first, and wo "have been indebted to them frr some of the best productions that have ever graced cur columns. Shame on any denomination that will not tustain its Church papers ! What is the pitiful sum of $20 or even $40 per auuum, compared with the good secured ? .
