THE ORGANS AND CONFESSIONS OF THE
GOSSPIRATORS.


There can be .o:bng gratifying to the friends
Of the Union and Of the National Democracy, than
the complete change which has taken place in the
tone Of the disunion press, aordng as it does, con
cusve evidence Of the defeat Of the faction which it
represents. When they first sprung their mine, and
for few weeks believed that they had blown the AID
minisratiou aud the Democracy sky.high, they were
e1ultaut and defiant In their tone. Especially did

pretend TO assert that the Cotton States" are
with them In their ferooious assaults upon the
Democracy. Their geoans burst forth in spite
of all their attempts TO bea. their disappointment
and troubles with becoming forttude. There ia not
a voice Of exultation among them. They expected
TO ind the Cotton States easy victims, but the Ma
tional Democracy have crushed them out as easily
