Tur UsuRrrH's MESSAGE "A umiag
that The | suTper's Message 10 the Old Cone
gre@ u llie North ia, been correctly in
icrpretcl By the telegraph, We confess tlat
We leel llule disposition 70 devote 70 itany
lcr glloned remarks The public mind 81
the South has been pretty well prepared,
by the ouigiyings Of the ,Iacobin press, for
tie l3aihsome mass Of ia,sehood, vindic-
titenc.s and hypocrisy with which the Old
periurer lus ins1llcd the common iutelli-
gence and civilization Of the age We do
mol care to follow the message through lis
tortuous windings, and expose lis deccitluI
assumptions. It's Jesuitical doctrines and
pretenses, its boasiful yaporings, its bru-
tish tone. and its beathen Indifference to
the agonics Of the people Of the North,
and the general stupidity bloodthirs'iness
and Iunacy which il exhibits. All these
are apparent, and must strike the minds
Of all enlightened men the world over
with amazement, disgust and horror.
Ii is said that this creature, Lincoln,
this vulgar savage, who seems 70 be MAX
ing desperate efforts TO initiate the Neros
and Caligulas Of old, and who appears to
be desirou, Of Witnessing the general con-
flagraiion Of the whole country formerly
known a. the United States, now composed
OF the Confederate States and the Lincoln
Empire, takes opates daily which keep
him in 4 state Of general stupor, induced
originally to make him sleep, and kept up
for some similar purpose. We know moi
the truth of these ayernents, but II seems
10 us that this message gives them some
pausibiily. If this be so, the idea of Il
Paris paper that lac is actually in a state
of mental hlllucinaton or lunacy may
prove TO be the literal fact But if he is
mad, there is method in his madness, too
much TO relieve him from bearing The just
responsibility Of his acts, for which history
and postcrity will assuredly hold him to a
rigid account. Throughout the South
the message will be read with disgust
and indignation. If il were meant to
intimidate her people by great display
Of resources on paper, to be hereafter
perhaps available, it will most signally
fail. On the contrary, it will rouse 70 4
still higher pitch the opposition TO the des-
potic Government at Washington, and in
tensify The determination throughout the
| Confederate States never TO yield to its
infamous usurpations and Draconian cru
cites.
BIT how about its effects in the North Z
| That remains TO be seem but unless we
greatly mistake, this bloody missive Of A..
Lincoln, drunk or sober, sane or lunatic,
will have in the North just the opposite
effect 10 that which he intends it shall
have. Unless we err, it will be the signal
for the gathering together of the elements
and the bursting of the storm against him
and his aiders which has been gradually
appearing upon the horizon there. twill
not surprise us if the opponents Of the at
rocious sentiments and sanguinary deeds
of the Government do openly take their
stand and defy it; and it will not surprise
us il, ere long, force there be met by force,
if The stupcndous folly and iniquity Of the
head conspirators indicated in the message
be attempted TO be carried out. This re-
suit was actually limited at by an infuen-
tial Northern paper before the appearance
of the Dictalor's document 70 his Con
gress. Forced loans and drafting, the on
ly possible ways by which the central des-
potism can obtain money and men for a
hopeless purpose, and simply TO deluge the
land in an ocean Of fraternal blood, TO glut
the vengeance Of a perjured despot and his
yassals, must create Il stain which il is i'm
possible for the public mind long 10 endure,
and an open revolt must follow persist
ence in such course.
