"Our Southern Brethren"

We arc sick Of the everlasting twadd'e
about " our Southern brethren " which has
been dinned in our ears day after day ever
since the commencement Of this Rebellion
Secession preachers have delivered long hom-
ili"s about them. Secession orators have
dila'ed upon them with spread Gag lie elcqucnce
Secession politicians in pc,ticoats have made
them the burden Of their conversation. And
have been. aud still are, the stock in trade of
seccSsionists generally. In the estimation of
these weak and wicked ai,lers and abetters OF
treason, it is a perfect justification of the
Rebellion that those engaged i'll it are ''our
Southern brethren" aud good and >uc lent
teason why they should escape scot free and
not be punished for thcir crimes. No matter
how guilty they are, OF how much suffering
they have brought upon all Of Us. they must
be permitted to 80 on in their wickedntS S.
.ecause they are " our Southern brethren. t"
they wage against the Government, we must
rcma in idle and make no effort to preserve it,
because they are " our Southern brethren. -
In a word, We must sit quietly down and see
our Government overturned. our dca rest rights
taken from us, our towns sacked and burned
| our property carried of aud destroyed. and
anarchy or tyranny inanguraod because the
men who are engaged in the dcmonlac trvcliy
are our Southern brchcIn."
1t is astonishing how people laying claim
I o good sense " i'll allow themselves to advance
such vapiI nonsense and mawklsh sentimen-
Ia liSm about :" our Southern BRETHREN" as do
iher Slmpa'hlzcrs and apologists. For to
such OF US as have read the history ui jos, phi,
| and ienlelnbt red how his brethren sold INN
to the lsEmselltcs, il matters lllle whether
these men who are plotting our ruin are or
are not our brethren. There being 50 is no
excuse FOL their making war upon the Gov
ernmcnl our fathers bcqucathtd us, and no
reason why We should permit them to work
both their and our destruction. We lave
reasoned with these Southern brethren of ou,s,
but they have given no heed to our reasoning
We have borne with them til iorbcarnnce is
no longer virtue. We must now give them
a good fratcrnal threshiug. and convince
them We are in earnest and will not submit
to be rode over roush-shod, even. by "our
| Southern brethren"

| have known but two alternatives: either to
succeed in what they undertake, or perish !;
and this rebellion will not be an exception
They will either succeed in crushing it, or
perish utterly as a nation. Every indication
round us goes to prove this. The popular
mind and heart are being educated to meet
their destiny unlinchingy, with an incon-
ccivable rapidity AS we'll might the puny
efforts of man attempt to stay the driving
thunder cloud, or roll back the rising tides
Of the ocean.
Then why stand We up, children of folly,
and cry 90 Peacc,'' when the Lord Of hosts is
educating the hearts of the people for the
great work He has placed before them,
which is to teach the proud swaycrs Of regal
sccpters that christianity in this nineteenth
century has taught man wisdom and virtue
enough to establish and sustain his own
government.
Ia the success of this rebellion rests the
hopes of kings and despotism, and from its
overthrow dates the downfall of Monarchy.
For this wise purpose God has built up this
nation with such magic rapidity. He has
poured the wealth of the world in her lap
He has CLEANED from the uttermost parts of
the earth the most daring courage and inge-
NOUS talents that belong to the hLman race,
and blended them in this nation; and ali this
wealth, all this talent, ingenuity and courage,
arc being drawn into the struggle for popular
institutions. This nation has been built up
by Providence for the advancement of His
great work. That great work is not the pro-
motion of rebellion and tyranny, but of civil
and religions liberty. Then go forward,
men Of Am"rcan beneath the fig Of yonr
country. 1t will prove pillar of fire leading
YOU to peace and safety, and as a cloud Of
protection from all harm.

Who arc the Aggressors 2

Let no one forget, in any contingency
whatever. that the Secession leaders are the
nagrcsSors IN the wal now raging in the land
and that upon their heads, beyond al! perad
venture, must rest the guilt of the awful con.
sequences. Although for months before Mr..
buchanan went out of office they had not
>crnpled to commit all sorts of overt acts. vet
let 1t never be forgotten that only tuo DAYS
after he had given place to his successor the
Coniedcrates passed an act calling for "one
hundred thousand men, and this was
nearly six weeks before their attack on Fort
Sumter.
Now. what besides, more than any other
act of the General Government was made use
OF to inliame the South what but the Presi.
dents call for seventy. five thousand "men
twenty-five thousand IN number less than
the ConIcderates had called for nearly 81,
ueekS be)ore!
And yet. in the face Of these astounding
iactS-Seldom thought of now in the hurry oil
greater events.-they have the hard:hood to
denounce the Government for lnaugurating
war: and the population Of the Seeded
States rush to the conflict. proclalming it a
holy war;" war to repel aggression"
In view of the undenabic facts in the
premises, in view of the fact that any consid-
cradle body of men, anywhere could be per
suadcd into the belief that they are the Sinned
against IN such a case, it would seem to he
the most astonishing ease of obliquity of iudg.
ment on record false belief. too that they
are ready to make good il, trial at arms,
and in submission to harhships unambcrc,l
Recurring to this, who can hope to convince
tanaticlsm utterly ohlvlous Of the facts in
the case; who can reason with men who are
determined to listen to nothing until well
beaten And this being go. hat is the USE
OF holding up naked and unarned hands
against myriad of madmen, aimed with
deadly weapons, who are blndly rushing
forward 10 destroy all who arc opposed to
them, at the hchest of set of unprincipled
and ambitious dcmagogugues, who seek all
occasions to inhame their passions to still
greater degree!
The truth is there can be no terms made
with such until they are literally beaten to a
stand still; and the nation may as we'll
accept the situation first as last. Bent on

ut their backs, soft words are wasted upon
them, and they will retort only with blows,
unless everything is yielded to them. Worked
up TO a pitch of insanity upon their particular

upon ordinary grounds, such as compel sub

when powerless to struggle longer. and let
the nation face up to such contingency
therefore, as to result inevitable.

Thy Will be Done.
By JouN @. EnyrrIKR.

We see not. know not all our way
Is night: with Thee alone is day.
From ont the troubled drift,
Above the storm our prayer we lift,
Thy will be done
The flesh may fail, the heart may faint,
But who are we to make complaint,
Or dare to plead in times like these,
The weakness of our love of ease :
Thy will be done
We take with solemn thankfulness
Our burden up, nor ask it less,
And count it joy that even we
May suffer, serve, or wait for Thee,
Thy will be done!
Though dim as yet in tint AND line,
We trace Thy pictures wise design,
Aud thank Thee that our age supplies
The dark relief Of sacrifice.
Thy will be don't
And If, in orr unworthiness,
Thy sacriticial wine we press.
lftrom Thy ordeal's heated bars
Our feet are scanned with crimson scars,
Thy will be done!
If, for the age to come, this hour
Oftrial hath vicarious power,
And, blest by Thee, our present pain
Be Libertys eternal gain,
Thy will he done!
Strike. Thou, the Master, we Thy keys,
The anthem of the destines
The minor of Thy lottier strain
Our hearts shall breathe the old refrain,
Thy will be done!
