Independence won by the sword and the
nusket will be ten times more precious and
valuable than independence WIRING from our
enemy through the aid secured by cotton, We
can whip the enemy. We will defea, all the

ders if 1t had not been for the traitors within
our own boundaries. We commenced the
struggle under every disadvantage. We could
not induce the Snbnissonists amongst Us to
take up arms until they had turned over the
common Government, with its army, lis navy,
~ treasury, It's ships, its munitions Of war, its
vast stores OF arms aud supplies, and is
the enemy. We first stripped our
selyes naked of every resource; we first
armed our enemies to the teeth and provide,

him the Government and its prerogatives, we
first put Il rope around our necks, and handed
A. TO that Government we armed it with
the semblanoe of regularity and of legal right
and authority; we furnished it with the brand
rebel 10 burn into orr foreheads; and then we
began the fight. All that folly, timidity, hest
lation, and disloyalty cond do to defeat a
cause in advance we did, and then we com
menced the struggle.
But we had right on onr side, and courage
morality, and religion, public honesty, ana
Providence. The people have risen sponra-
neonsly, and done all that patriotism and self.
sacrificing public spirit could do, to redeem
and retrieve the criminal faults of their poll
ticlans. No country ever had fewer Anani
ases or fewer Sapphiras. Our brave young
men have rushed to the field and onr Drawer
women have cheered and encouraged them in
al their steps, have tenderly dressed their
wounds and softly waited at their sick bed
sides.
Our rulers had deprived rs of or refused TO
provide ne with arms at the beginning. This
was all that we needed to secure success: aud
;trIns have seemed to drop down to us from
heaven. Within week past many thousands
of them. have been brought in to our shores
~ if piloted through blockading fleets by ali
angel. Our machinery for their manufacture,
alro, il all now in full play, and our country is
now in better state of defence than it has
been since the discovery of the continent.
What need have W for an ally IN Europe,
when we enjoy the aid Of such potential
ones at home. In our own right arms is our
sole defence, and the God of the brave,
honest, and faithful, as our all-suilicent ally,
In our trlsty muskets and rifles have we a
much more perfect security than in our cotton
and tobacro, aud when we look beyond these
tor countenance and support, let us cast our
view above into the benignant skies and not
abroad into the dens of European tyranny
and corruption. Such is the invocation to

of our Confederacy to-day.
