Never has there been time in the his
tory of our Government when more decis
i've action is needed ihan the present, and
yet iisdoes seem that imbeciliiy and logged
.slowness marks every movement on the
part of the Government. The people are
awake to the momentous issues that have
been forced upon them andthey are ready
self sacrificing men, bot We are not willing
that they should go forth 10 meet certain
death, either at the hands of mob or by
starvation. Every day we hear of trained
and educated officers, who should have led
our hosts on 10 victory, being allowed 10
resign and Join themselves to the traitors,
when they should have been dismissed the
service, ard al once be treated to halter
or shut up in prison, where they could
learr wisdom by calm reflection. These
are not the times to temporize with any
one. We need action-6rm, determined
right action, Mt the right time and in the
right place. Hitherto they have been tam

fatally, ii will be because the people have
found out and applied the remedy.
The best and ablest Generals in the SER
vice appear TO be kept in state of mac
:ivity, and the highway TO our capital is
impeded by host OF insurgents, who should
be swept out of the way al blow, and our
armies, if necessary, should walk over their
dead bodies. There should be no more
pafleying with traitors, or pretended friend s;
no bargainings, or arrangements, or obtain
ing permissions 10 march our forces through
any territory of the United States. The
Government has The right, by law and the
Constitution, to pass its troops through any
Stale in The Union, and when they are
resisted, it is rebellion as much as If they
had adopted pretended ordinance of Sc
cession. If Baltimore, or the whole of
Maryland, resist the Government, let The
troops be ordered TO march upon her at
once, and, if they wish 10 feel vengeance
of violated law, crash her out of existence
al a single blow. Ii were far better that d
dozen such places should be rendered
desert and habitation for bats and owls,
than that the Government should be pre-
vented from exercising its just and lesit-
mate functions in preserving its existence
and protecting its citizens.

do nothing 10 diminish or discourage it,
We understand well their position. They
are for the country for Tie Union and there
lore for the Government-and in all pracii-
cal duties they are with US and for US But
wiren time fensws the opportunity for the
indulgence of party conflicts, they will still
be Dem ocrats and If on that arena they
should take up the broken link of contro-
versy, il would be all right. We should
expect the Republicans TO be held TO strict
accountability for their use of powder in
the meantime, ard should joinssue thereon.
But not now-the waiver is complete on
all sides. One all prevailing spirit makes
us a unit In the defence of the Government

The FIae we Fight Under ?

Now that we are in the midst of war,
we see no other honorable conrse for pa
trfotic and national men but to sustain The
constituted anthorities.oi.the country in the
exercise OF their legitimate authorities; :; to
keep uo the public credit; TO let the heart
swell with honor and. gratitude toward the
brave who bear worihily on and up the
flag of oar nation. The old banner that
Washington and Jackson bore will wave
over them and lead them on 10 triumph. II
is the duty of all good citizens in this crisis,
10 stand By the Government, no matter who is
at the helm, and. fight it through. After
the havoc of war has ragged, thefe will come
time for the healing work OF peace
Sooneror later, the good sense, patriotism
and intelligence Of :he people will bring all
things right, and put an end TO this most
unnatural strife.
We have been of the opinion that if diff
ferent cosrse had been pursued, all these
difficulties could have been adjusted with
out recourse 10 The sword. But a discuss.
ion of hat might have been done can do
hand Of every man who loves the flag OF
his country and wishes the Republic pre-
served, 10 stand squarely on the side of the
constituted authorities, in defence OF our ma
| tional honor aud The existence oil. our Union.
Feeling thus, we have raised the 'Stars
and Stripes" 10 our masthead, Inscribed
/ with the Constitution of our county
Whilst prosecuting the war, however, we
are for holding out the olive branch of peace
and avaiing ourselves of the first favorable
opportunity 10 bring about Compromise
aud re Union War is fearful, terrible
Calamity and :he sooner we can bring il 10
close, the better for all sides. After this is
accomplished aud The people have united
to rescue The Country from anarchy, it will
be time enough to attend TO those who
have contributed in very great degree to
bring about this conflict.
Our motto is: OUR COUNTRY OUR
WuoLE COUNTRY, OUR UNION AND OUR Cor
sTITUfIoN.
Our country's Flag lit has ever been
sustained by true and loyal Democracy,
who have been lis bulwark and defence in
every peril They will not lorsake it now,
the dread hour which they have labored so
faithfully to avert. May God grant that it
may yet wave
Der Union OF hearts and Union OF hands,
Ger Union OF trade and Union OF lands,
Which factions may ne'er again sever ;
Ger Union OF hopes and a Union of fears,
Ger Union OF ages eternal in years,

THE WAR.

The gentlemen who have charge of The

and good Judgement that the war rs one
waged against the South by the Government.

of taking possession oi the Federal Capital
By JefT Davis.
The people of the Northern States never
would have allowed coercion TO be used
towards the Gull States il they had acted
with the slightest regard to decency. They
knew that vi were banded together under
q written Constitution, and that il they had
grievances TO be redressed there was a ie-
gal and q constitutional way 10 redress
them, and il the differences between the
two sections OF the country were found to
be irreconcilable the Constitution could
have been so amended as TO allow OF a legal,
constitutional, and peaceabIe settlement
but TO this the Gulf States would not agree,
and in violation OF their faith, of the Nation
al compact, and of the oath so many oflhem
had taken to support that Constitution. they
commenced an aggressive war on the Gov
eminent, and This, and this alone it was
that has united the whole of :he Northern
people as one man to sustain their noble
and beloved form OF Government.
They equally mistake if they suppose now
that We intend to sutiuea.e The South, so
that We may rule over them. This i not
should prove TO be so, the people would not
sustain the Administration. The people
intend 10 vindicale The honor OF the Ameri-
can flag, and to>susisin the Government in
the possession of The Federal Capital in the
same manner as il was bequeaIhed 10 them
bysheir fathers and, that being done. the
Gulf States may GO by themselves and

and destruction. as they inevitably will, un-

Fascality of the movement, and who are
cowed down by ruthless mob; but II they
are .irue 10 themselves, when reason re-
sumss lis sway and the sober second
thought oil the people begins TO act, they
will be able, without our help, to hang the
traitors, and ge-instate the States in their
former maichless grandeur. We wage no

and, God helping rs, we will never lay
