Such are the false cOunsels OF the traitors
who have democracy upon upon their lips, and
despotism in their hearts. To the North they are
full Of profe ssons Of attachment to republican in
,titutions full Of hcnied words full Of soft blaodish
nent and all for the fell purpose of beguling their
desired victim on TO self sbasement the most bitter
and niamy the most blasting To the North il is Yield.
Yield Yield to the South d to Slavery. Give all that
10 sskcd-gve all to-day and all tomorrow, but peace
with Slavery at any price. Submit, Submit, Submit,

IL there then no Northl Is the spirit OF northern
independence fed forever Are we all traitors and
poltreons together Is there maDliuess, no back
bone left Is there sterling spirit of independence
among our Democratic brethrent to rise and suite down

ossifedi Is Democracy but whited sepulcher filled
only with dead mems bonesl Are these mere ma
chimes or ghosts who, in the shape OF men, annually
carry their millions of votes to the ballotboxl
We have an undimmed faith that we shall behold a
universal uprising Of the people Of the North in beh lf
of their rights, in behalf Of their posety in
behalf of genuine Democracy, and in utter cOndemua-

We no longer look for lovers of Justice for the sd
