ky, can stand before the sober men of the
North enraged by listening to taunts of
cowardice, stung By the memory OF I'M
counted insults and outrages, and bent up
on the annihilation of treason.
1t is well, at starting, to know what our
power of holding on" is. We have got.
in the first place, the ''sinews of war.
This is very important item, and enough,
of itself, to settle the question. The Con-
federate States are lamentably deficient in
money, and they have no credit. The arch
repudiator of Mississippi, JEFF. Davis, is the
President of the Confederacy. They can
get no money abroad; they can get no mon
ey at the North; and they have not enough
among themselves to carry on formidable
war for any grea: length of time. 1t Is
stated by the New York Tribune, on what
it deems undoubted personal authority; that
jeff. Davis q Co. have ii in contemplation
to seize the coin and other convertible assets
| in the vaults of the banks of the seeded
States. One bank in Mobile has already
taken the alarm, and has removed its avail
able means to New York city. Many indl-
viduals, suspected of having considerable
money, have left the seeded States, and
others are preparing to follow. The loans
thus far have been forced loans. The peo-
pie are, in fact, poor, and unable to pay the
debts which they owe to the North to-day.
A part of Mississippi seems to be starving
for food There is money enough IL the
city and State of New York to buy out the
whole of Secessia. Now this movement is
in the hands of very desperate men, who
are determined TO play a very desperate
game, and while money can be had by steal
ing it, they will get it; but there is an end
to the pile, and then they will be done.
Again, we have about eight white men tc
their one, and no niggers to take care of
1t is easier for US to raise, and put into the
j field, and keep there, 10000 men than fol
them to raise and support $4,000 men. We
are speaking now simply of those State:
which have already seeded. All of thu
border States cannot possibly secede. Ma
ryland is contributing her quota for thu
preservation of the federal capital. Nilsson
ri cannot 90 out, nor can Delaware. W.
doubt very much whether any of the Dor
) der States will go out. The seceders ma,
get some money and more mon from them
! bet even if al should go out, we still mum
y ber-devoted to the Union and the Consti
d tution-two to their one. This is a grea
advantage, and will tell in the long run
We can carry on our agricultural and me
;. chanical industry and earn money while W
. spend it.
. Again, we have navy, and the COnfed
crate States have none. We can blockad
> their ports and they cannot help themselve:
l. We can drive all their produce through GU
y own territory and grow rich on the bus
ness. We have a tariff that will pay til
!, ordinary expenses of the Government, an
u credit abroad and at home. We have shop

: the rebels turn against us, the balls whic
they fire at US, and the powder that impe

can make, in private and public armorie
IL all we want. We can clothe our soldier
, and they cannot even make the clothin

Already there have been offers of mo-

and loan of hundred millions could
u readily negotiated. The truth is that Il
- capital of this country and of other coul
tries is interested in the maintenance of Il
u Government of the United States, and il
- terested in crushing out the rebellion.
T Still again, we are on the side of the Go
eminent and of humanity, and we have Il
in moral power of the world with US. Y

re- situations. With all these things upon O.
