-nAsrs 10 II LET ALONE.

JEFF. Dsris, the chief Of the Rebels, tells
o. in bis message to the Confederate Con-
sres., that call they want nov IL TO be ies
Alone" Alase number Of Harpss's Weekly
contains "earsoon" happily illustrative OF
the beautiful effects Of this policy OF the
rebels. Ii represents JEFF. Davis psrehed
On Uncle Sans apple-iree-his pockets and
hand. fell Of golden fruit. Old Abe in the
foreground, has Just discovered the poacher,
and is about to bring bis "maskes" to bear
upon JEFF. for the purpose Of ''bringing him
down., snd preventing further deprsdasions
Of this character. Discovering the position
Of Old Abe, and intri.ively eomprehending
his design, JEFF. in the mildess Of tones, and
With the most innocent look Imaginable
cries out, "Don's shoot, Mr.. Lincein-all !
wan. 10 to be let alone"
There are men even in Council Bluffs, who
take the same ground as that occupied BY
JEFF. Davis. They want the traitors s'les
alone" The United States should be 'for-
bearing "-they should allow the traitors to
muster their forces in the National Capital
to seize the pablo buildings and archives
--min.s, arsenals, custom houses, navy
yards, and whatsoever else they covst be-
longing TO the Government. The Govern
meus should submit. to any and every indig-
nifty and outrage it suits the madness,
cupidity or caprice of the Confederate Rebels
to indulge in, rather than to stake up arms
against" them, and maintain its own su-
premaey. "To be let alone" is all the
immunity the murderer asks-'tis all the
highwayman or the pirate asks-in fact, 'tis
all any offender agains. the majesty Of
the Law, could ask. II that plea were
graussd-.he Occupation" Of Government,
of society, Of law-would be "gone," and
every person would carry his f'life on his
sleeve"
This Government, We feel sure, has no
purpose in the least degree consonant with
the wishes Of JEFF. Davis, and his confed-
crate crew. lie must pursue his rebellious
designs hereafter, with the full knowledge
tina, bis plea to be "let alone," meets with
not even the faintest recognition by the
Government. Indeed, JEFF. Davis, will soon
learn that the Confederate Rebels uM not
be let alone nor, until ''vessel, mint, arsenal,
navy yard, fors-every dollars worth and
every foot Of property stolen from the Gov.
eminent and private individuals is restored
and compensated for. No cessation now Of
the war, which the rebels were the frs. to
begin, until everywhere within the area oc.
cupied by the thirty. four States of the
Union the Stars and Stripes float in thei,
beauty, and the Constitution Of the Untct
States is openly recognized and the laws Of
the same unhesitatingly obeyed. If thu
rebels want to be let alone they must openly
proclaim their submission to the Fedora
Government and make full atonemeat ant
restitution for the wrongs they have inflicted
upon it," The Government will meet fore.
with .foree-though ballo.-box repudiator:
and traitors do inveigh against the 'horrid'
proceeding.

CT The Des Moines Register, in speak
ing of the spiking of the guns at Fort Kear-
ney, says: elm order to give greater sense
of security on the border, and guard against
the treachery of an officer who should be
removed Immediately, Gov. LAKEWOOD has
sent to Iowa City for an eight pound field
piece, with shot, &c, forty sabres, forty
Colts Navy revolvers, and muskets enough
to furnish full company. These arms will
be placed in charge of volunteers at Council
Bluffs for the defense of the border"

The Tres Of the JEFF. Davis rebellion are
kept up By the gro..est misrepresentation.
The mssses Of the South are ignorant, prsja-
diced, unreaecsine, and are imposed upon
By their orators and editors. They are tod
that the Union il dissolved-thas instead OF
sheU United States there are Northern and .
Southern Confederacy-over one the Adolf
ZIONIST Lincoln reigns-over the other Jed
Davis is President. Like young birds that
have never been out Of their nests, they
receive whatever is offered them, and s"ai'
loz without question, wsrm, bug, or snai.
They are told that the present war, provoked
By traitors and prosecuted BY the Govern
men. for its own preservation, is an unjust
wars crusade against the institution Of
slaver,-xaged for the subjugation Of the
South and for the purpose OF freeing the
negroes and eqaaliuing them politically and
socially with the whites.
The masses of the South are also led to
perhaps usder the influence OF bad
whiskey-that No:thern yaior IS myth
that one Southern man can overmateh
dozen Northern men. Intelligent men,
South, know too we'll the history OF our
country to be so duped: for well do the
battle fields Of Concord, Lexington, and
Bunker Hill attest the pluck Of Yankees
and the late gallant stand of Massachusetts,
men in the streets Of Baltimore, when out
numbered by a mob Of drunken demons,
attests that the Northern men of 1851 are
as brave as their fathers were.
If the Southern men believe that the
Northern men will not fight, let them just
witness New York fremen's riot and they
will see what chld's play the toughest
fighting is regarded.
Northern volunteers are all hardy sons Of
toll, with limbs of iron, from the pillow and
workshop. The rebel troops are loafers,
and spoiled and dissipated sons Of fortune.
consumptiyes, debauchees, their arms and
legs weak as pipe-stems, and who never in
their lives underwent greater privation thar
to be deprived of whiskey for limited
length of time. The Dragging of the rebel:
indicates their weakness as well as show:
how greatly they misapprehend Northern
valor and Northern strength. By the end OF
the presen. war against traitors, they viii
learn to distinguish between forbearance ant
cowardice, and learn that forbearance ant
bravery are of the closest kin. The Gov.
eminent has in every conflict, so far, til
umphed. Who can doubt Of its triumph
over JEFF. Davis gang Of rebels?
Already are the rebel ambassadors, sen
ou: to Europe for recognition, money ant
munitions Of war, returning as best the,
can, disgraced in the eyes Of the world
without recognition, without m oney,
