DISAPPOINTMENT and failure s beginning !
to stare rebellion in the face on every hand.
In fact disappointment has been a oronic |
disease from the commencement. The ordi-
nance of accession unanimously adopted by |
South Carolina, was initiated with far less
success, in its popular endorsement, by the
rest os the eeccded Statee. In many oil them
the armed hand of revolt was raise against
even the eonsummated treason. The Stare
aud Stripes long iloated dcduuty in certain
introctable districts of Georgia, Alabama,
Arkansas, Texas and North Carolina. lnI
several Of the seeded States the separating
act was passed by meager majorities in CON
ventlon, aud its Submission to the people
was refused. III other Instances, where tho
popular assent was couytcd thousands IN
dignautly absentcd themselves from the
polls. and the ordinance was ratified ly
faint majority Of the fractional vote cash.
In still other cases, the indications were
that the actual returns Of the ballot had been
suppressed, and forged oncs put forward.
II is susceptible of demonstration, from the
tabular reports of tho southern vote GO far
as taken, compared with the known voting
population of the South, that secession has
never yet received the support of tho ma
jority of the people Of Scceseu This isci
is further illustrated hy The pithllly small
vote cast for the so-callcd President and
Vice President of tho ConicdCraCy. Thus
the hope that the South would prove united
in the rebellion was disappointed at the out
set. Dsappointments have bccu the order
over since. They were d.sopr omtcd in &C.
curing foreign recognition; they were dis
appointed in prccipitating the bordcrStatce
they were disappointed az not finding di-
vided North; they were disappointed in the
ability of the Government to establish a
in the success Of their privatecre; they were
disappointed in starving us into submission
TO an acknowledgement of the bogus Com
federacy; and last, but not least, they were
wofully disappointed in the capture of their
foreign minister's" Where do we find them
now? Cut off from trade with Europe or
the grain growing and manufacturing North
and as unable to sell as to eut their cotton
This vauntcd staple was to have made it's
way 10 market, and the rcturus to have I'll
ed the rebel treasury. In the hope of this.
loans were freely made 10 the ContheiNoracy.
Upon such Il promise leets tho credit and fl
"ancial power of jeff Davis & Co,
Now we do not deny but that the rchels
have had some victories. but It Will require
greater strength to render them substa tiul
successes. In the West aloue they have Sc
riously assumed the offensive, but oven
there they have becu beaten and dr.>cn To-
an attitude Of defense. The defensive war
of the rebels is week by week becoming
more and more defensive. At present they
are encompassed, attacked and halasscd on
all sides. NJ ssouri, Western Virginia, the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts all witness the re.
sistlcss progress of the Federal armies. The
before Washington. If withdrawn from
thence, Virginia falls. But unless the con-
fedcrate army is partly or wholly withdrawn
from Virginia, and that speedily, every i'm
portant sea port in Scccssiu will be captur-
cd. The abandonment of Virginia would be
equally fatal to the inland strougholds of the
enemy; for the National ensign would then
move in triumph over Kentucky and Ten.
nessee, and thence TO the Gulf ON the South
and the Atlantic ON the East. The Nva
movement is an immense outllaulUug of al
the rebel armies, booming them to be attack
ed both in front and rear, and leaving them
only to choose whether they will present
their own front to the army of the feet, ol
20 that of the Potomac. Just cause, su.
perior numbers and wealth, the sympathy
and passive cooperation ol the world, pa
triotism, and unity in effort for the country
are certain to prevail, and are prevailing
over this insuriectiou of Il cotton a. listocra
cy against the free government of the Amcri
can people. In view of this state of things
it is pla My the duty OF every citizen to civ,
the Government his undiy.dcd aid and sup
port IN crushing this monster rebellion.
