Thc subjugation of the South.

20 application Whatever TO any attitude that
has been assumed by the Government ou-
thnrilies and it is. moreover, a term intended
to dcmoralize and destroy the Union senti-
ment which is sweeping through the State
If the enemies Of our country could succeed
in changing the issue from what it really is,
viz: an effort of the Government TO put down
rebellion and treason, and make men believe
that it is an effort Of the North to suljugate
the South, they would have accomplished the
great work Of oycrthrowing the Govern
ment; for right-tlinking men at the North
would revolt at the thought an unproyokcd
war Of one section upon another But for
tunately for the cause of right, the people
are doing their own thinking in relation to
the matter, and have, very generally read
the history Of the past six months RS carefully
and intelgently as have the mischief making
mouth-iiiends of the Union of whom We
write.
a struggle for the rrcser,aton Of the
American Union is neither Black Republic
can fight for the retaining Of the apoils Of
Office nor /, it fight of the North against
the South The nation embraces thirty-iour
States, and in every State there are loyal
citizens In portion Of the States thele
are individuals who are false TO their nlcsi-
auce. Large bodies of these are in arms, and
thier cheftain, not content with overriding the
Federal authority within the so-callcd South
ern Confederacy, threatens an invasion or the
Federal Capital, and the actual seizure Of the
National buildings and the public archives
These threats have caused the Union men in
all OF the States whore they could be heard,
to rally in solid column in support Of the
National honor and for the preservation Of
the Union. The fact that the President of
the United States is a Republican, is now be-
ing used by the enemy to deter weak-nindcd
persons fson speaking out their national SEN
timcuts. Every man who can be ailenced at
this dreadful crisis, is gain for the diaholcal
cause Of treason. Tho Seeessionists nnd their
tools ask Southern Union men if they will
help Abolitionists conquer their brethren
They ask Northern men if they will consent
to an attempt at "suGjugating the South
When they represent this Government as oc-
cupying such position, when they say that
Union meetings and Union Clubs mean sub.
jugation Of the South by declaring for the
supremacy Of the Federal Government, with
in the limits Of the Constitution, they speak
the words Of falaehood with the tongues of
scrpeuts. They are filed with the spirit of
mischief and with honeyod words of "peacc"
upon their lips, their hearts are filled with
delight at the thought Of the blood and earn
age which they vcinly hope is TO end only in
the downfall of the Republic. They desire
Californians TO remain neutral, but, if they
must take sides, to shout hosannns to the
leader of the rebels. They denounce as
Black Republicans every man who procams
himself uacoadaioualy on the side of the
Nation, while they class rampant Secession
lists Qike those who recently interrupted
Senator Latham at Sacramento with cheers

ton Of the South, and yet every man knows
that when they heard Of the taking Of Fort
Sumter their faces were bcaming with de-
light They long to hear the news that the
minions cf the clustering Davis have seized
the Capitol at Washington, and vet they
have the brazen impulence to whine about
invasion. STEPPED to the lips in treason, and
hating, with tigcr-like ferocity, those who
Defend instead Of assailiug the Government,
they prate, in maudlin tones of "peace for
the sake of union.' They woald have the
Government rcpose in quiet while boyoncts
and swords are cleaning in ihc ranks Of lis
foes; and because it does not pursue so con-
course, they ale Mortified and
alarmed. They are like 4 man who tries TO
end fight between two others 10y holding
one for the other to pummel Such fight
would soon be ended. Everything done 10y
the traitors is. if they are to be believed, the
necessary consequence Of some misdeed of
the Governments Every step of the former
is all right, in their estimation. Such crea-
lures cannot be dangerous in any intelligent
community, for none but fools can be cor
rupted by such false and absurd nonsense as
they use in advocating their cause
The Government of jhe United States has
strength enough to destroy rebellion, for its
strength is the strength Of its loyal citizens.
The South never will be subjugatcd, but it
will be purged of traitors. Its substance
has long been consumed by self constituted
dictators, and IL longs for relief. The pco
pie who are now compelled TO eerve jeff Da
Wis will not always be left unprotected by
the Government to which they would fain
be true. The South will yet be free from the
of those who, though they rule,
were ncrer elected 6yhe people. That bright
day may be distant, but it will surely come.
The South is nor " suljugatcd" by the Sc
cret tribunal at Montgomery, Alabama, which
calls itself a Congress; but the rights Of the
people viii not always be thus tramplcd
upon, to crafty the mounting ambition of the
few The friends of the Union are the friends
and not the enemies of the South. 1t is the
sympGthizers with jeff Davis who glory in
the "sutjugation of the Southern people
GREAT OurRAGE--The organ Of the Sc
