THE DIsAPPOINTMENTs OF THE
| saaH TRAITORS. lafsT91
| The traitors who are now in arms a.
gainst their country are not to be envied.
In their case the stings Of conscience must
be quickened by constantly recurring re-
cognition of the fact that Providence is a.
gainst them. Every thing they have tried
has failed; every project they set their
heart upon has ended disastrously. From
the day their friend. the hoary dotard Bu-
chanan. vacated the post he disgraced, the
hand of God has lain heavily on them and
theirs. f sa fs.s e..a re ,.fs
They commenced their rebellion with
the no.ion-encoursged somewhat by
presses and persons here-that substan-
tial portion Of the Northern people would
side with them in their rebellion. From
that delusion they have been rudely awak-
ened by imposing musters of Northern
Democrats in support of the Union, and
by the ignominous surrender of such
pseudo Democrats as Benjamin Wood
and others. who presumed for time to
abet them in their treason. They know
now that twenty millions OF freemen-aid-
ed by the majority Of the people Of Mary
land, Kentucky. Delaware, and Missouri
are decidedly against them.
They believe.l-as the letters of the spe-
cial correspondent of the Times show-that
neither Great Britain nor France would
suffer the cotton ports to be blockaded.-
Europe. they boasted in their meanness.
would come to their relief, and would raise
the blockade. In this they have been most
cgregiously disappointed. Neither Eng
land nor France evince the slightest ten
dency to interfere with the blockade. In
fact. they have no motive for doing so;
for their trouble is not so much the want
of cotton as the want of marke.-at the
North-for their manufactured goods
Cotton they can dispense with If they can
not sell cotton cloths. The fluffy poten-
tate" has been elected from his throne
His power depended upon the readiness of
the North to consume the products of the
looms of Manchester and Lowell The
North has ceased to consume. and the ty-
rant whose sovereignty rested upon the
slavery of four millions Of human beings,
tumbles helplessly to the earth England
and France will not disturb the blockade
and this the South knows by this time.
The traitors were satisfied that they
would this summer hold Washington
One Walker. who figured as "Secrc-
iary Of War" of the rebels. announced
| in April that they would seize Wash
liugton by May, and the Creole Beauregard
fixed upon the 10th of October as the time
when he world be. in possession. The
arch traitor. Jefferson Davis. sent word to
keep his pew in church for him. as his
family would want it this summer So
long as Buchanan was President there was
some ground for these expectations That
miserable old man labored so strenuously
on behalf Of the rebels. and there were so
many other traitors in every Government
office. that it was natural the insurgents
should hope TO win possession of the .capi-
tai. That prize is now beyond thei- reach.
No city in the world is so well fortified as
Washington. All the Sighting men in the
South cannot take it. This must be Bit
ter disappointment.
1t was confidently announced that the
secession Of the cotton States would be
the ruin. commercially and financially. of
the North. The fact is that stocks have
risen from 10 to 20 per cent since the war
began; business has improved in every d.
rcction; our banks hold twice as much spe.
Gle as they did year acc, our exports are
'ncre".s..ang and our imports are diminish
ing; money is abundant. food is cheap. the
demand for labor is in excess of the snp-
ply. and the great cities of the North.
New York. Chicago. Cincinnati. Boston.
Buffalo. Philadelphia. etc., were never
more busy than they are at present. 1t is
now evident that our Northern people
have accommodated themselves to the war.
They have made up their minds to the
temporary loss OF the Southern markets,
and they find they can get along without
them.l The North is really richer today
than it was twelve months ago. This is
another substantial disappointment.
These failures must operate rather un-
! pleasantly upon the spirits of the leaders
of the Southern treason. They will pro-
duce no effect upon their slbjects--white
and black--because Southern newspapers
are not suffered to tellthe truth. But such
men as Davis. T,ombs. Stephens. Benja-
min. Hunter. Brown. etc.. must begin to
see that their cause is hopeless They have
succeeded in nothing but in alternating their
Northern friends. weakening slavery in
the Border States. impoverishing the en-
tire Son,h. rousing the slaves to notions
of emancipation. destroying the credit of
Sothern States. ruining forever the politi-
cal power Of the slave institution, stimu-
lating the growth Of cotton, all over the
world. teaching tho North its indepen-
denee of the South. and imbuing the whole
civilized world with thorough convic-
ton Of the brutality. dishonesty and rot
tenDess of society ''bssed on the corner
stone of human slavery In every thing
else they have failed How long will they
persist in the faiIure?--Harpers Weekly.
