How the People Of the South have
been Deceived.

Somebody is responsible for great deal o.
tho difficulty now troubling US as nation,
and among them are the parties who have
deceived the South respecting the feelings of
the Northern people. On the one hand they
have been made to believe that the Republi-
can party was an abolition party, and on the
other that the Democracy of the North would
stand by them in any and all emergencies.
When the present rebellion was planned, it
was in view of aid from the North. But
when they found that Senator D,uglas hld
ard in quick succession it was followed up
with the news that Ex- President Buchanan
participates in the general determination to
sustain the government at Washington that
General Cass had contributed liOerally TO
large subscription for the equipment of the
Michigan quota of volunteers called out by
President Lincoln that Ex President Fill
more presided, at Buffalo, over a meeting
called to aid the Government in ths enforce-
ment of the laws: that Gov. S0rsgue, of
Rhode Island, just re>eected by a large ma
jority over Republican competitor, had
rendered regiment of troops to aid Lincoln,
and offered to command it himself-they
were struck with amazsment and charge GER
tain parties and certian public journals with
having deceived them
But this is net all. Northern men in the
past have misled Southern leaders, but these
leaders have carried it still fprther and mis-
led their people. For instance such men as
Con. Wise and others, to induce Virginia
and the border States 20 sece1e, have know
ingly and Intentionally misrepresented the
feelings of the Northern leaders. A short
time ago, Gov. Wise, in speech announced
that he knew g Gen. Scott had resigned in
consequence of the secession of Virgiuia, and
that he was only detained in Washington by
the personal entreaties of President Lincoln
that Lincoln was drunk when he had con-
santed to issue the proclamation calling for
10000 men, and had been made so by the
extreme Republicans before he had consent
ed to sign it. Wise further said that there
was no doubt that Lincoln was badly scared,
and that he would soon yield the capital
The Virginians had but to hold out firmly,
and the independence of the Confederate
States would be accomplished with little or
no bloodshed. ~ Columbia Republica1.

To End in Compromise.

When the Government made its first effort
to check the rebe lion, that Ias become such
terror in the South. the allies Of sedition in
the North denounced the legitimate means
of the Administration to vindicate its author
jty and enforce the law, as coercion, and de-
cared that the difficulty could only be adjus-
ted by compromise. Compromising right,
while the wrong dosr was secretly engaged
in consolidating his power to usurp the au-
thority of the Govern ment, was one of the
plans adopted by the leaders OF the present
secession NOV ement to achieve success, and
now that these plans are about to fail, they
are also about 10 try their old game of COM
promise, to escape the penalty of the laws
they have violated, and get rid of the res
possibility they have assumed in arraying
themselves against the government, in tram
pling on its laws. and arming themselves to
destroy its political, civil and religious exist
ence. We are now grayely informed that
John j. Crittenden is preparing another
compromise, to be submitted in the approach
ing session of Congress, but the public SO far
Crittenden will propose to restore the eoun
try to peace, business to pros perity and, and
still preserve the dignity of our forms of gov
ernment. We are at loss. too. to under
stand how the two principles of government
the one adopted by the patriots of the rev.
olution, amid prayer confidence and frien j. .
ship. and the othes proclaimed by the par
asites of this rebellion, amid the destruction
of private property and the desecration of
public law and order-we are at q loss to
understand how a compromise is to restore
peace and perpetuity between such opposite
and beligerant principles, without effecting
the staoiiisy ofa pure Government unless the
evil is utterly and forever crushed out. We
are at loss how compromise can be effect
ed, by which the assassin, the plunderer and
the usur2er can be set free, and the consti-
:ution and laws maintain their prestige and
their power. If such compromise can be
effected, If the deliberations of the approach
ing session Of Congress are to result in no
greater benefit to this country than a compro-
mise, we will forever be compelled to mourn
the policy that convened it, and deplore the
diplomacy and craftsmanship that dictated
such an adjustment of our difficulties. Com
promise now will only entail confusion here
after. Compromise with traitors will infuse
irto treason the concious power of influence
and ability, to rise in arms again, when AN
bition becomes dissatisfied with the Constitu>
tional preferences of the people. Compro
mise with an armed rebellion, that has poll
Iuted its path with crimes, and stained its
banner with the blood of free and innocent
men, would notonly forever destroy the abil-
ty of man for self government, but it would
affect tie power ofall government, and rem

pieable person which have not been made
kuown to the American public at large, and
which seem, TO ne, 81 be worth communlca-

AFTER THE BATTLE.

The drums are mufied; the bugles are still
And bearers of stand ards swerve back with a
thrill
Where the sheaves of the dead bar the way;
For great field is reaped Heavens garners to
fill,
And stern death holds his harvest to-day
There's voice in the winds like pirit's low
/. Tis the muster roll sounding and who shall re-
ply?
Not those whose wan faces glare white to the sky,
With eyes fixed so steadfast and dimly,
As they wait that last trump which they may not
defy,
Whose hands the sword hilt so grizzly.
The brave heads, late lifted, are solemnly bowed !,
And the riderless chargers stand quivering and
cowed.
AS the burial requiem is chanted aloud,
The groans of the death-stricken drowning;
While victory looks on, like queen, pale and
proud,
Who awaits till tomorrow her crowning.
There is no mocking blazon, clay sinks to clay.
The vain pomps Of the peace time are all swep pit
away
In the terrible face of the dread battle day
Nor collins nor shroudngs are here;
Only relics that lay where thickest the fray
A rent casque and headless spear
Far away, tramp on tramp, peals the march of
the foe
Like storm waves retreating-spent, ftfuI and
slow,
With sounds like their spirits that faint as they
By yon red glowing river, whose waters
Shall drink with sorrow the land where they flow
To the eyes of her desolate daughters
They are ied-they are gone but Oh not as they
came,
In the pride of those numbers they staked on the
game;
Nosmore shall they stand on the vanguard of fame,
\ ever lift the stained sword which they drew
Never more shall they boastof glorious name,
Never march with the leal and the true.
Where the wreck of our legions lay stranded and
torn,
They stole on our ranks in the mists of the morn
Like the Giant of Gaza their strength it shorn
Ere those mists rolled up to the sky;
From the fash of our ST eel new day break SEEM
ed born,
AS we rung up-to conquer or die
The tumult is silenced, the death lots are cast,
And the heroes of battle are sumbeling at last,
Do you dream of yon pale form that rode on the
blast?
Would ye free it once more, ye brave?
Yes the broad road to hon or is red where ye
passed.
And of glory ye asked-but grave.
