While all loyal men will rejoice at this prompt
al vigorous action, the malcoptents will be at
last convinced that they have nothing to hope
from the efforts of q few northern traitors, who
vainly oppose themselves to the will Of the na-
ton, and set up their feeble sophistries in Con-
gress with not the slightest effect. a. :,
We are glad that such persons ns Messr, VAL
landigham, Burnett and Kennedy are patiently
iistenedotosq Weccan forgive any trsasohable
speech whseh draws out so sdmirable a retort a.
that OF Mr.. Mallory upon his colleague Burnett:
and as, fortunately, Con sress sits with open
doors, no one can object to any exposure which
thethalf dozen traitors there may make Of shem-
selves. They oan do no harm to the cause; but,
on the contrary, their efforts only show how
weak sea theyy1 they 1are4IS: 7: Eve Post. gb gbn,S y

people say that, as we can never consaer the
rebels, we had better stop just where We are
and make peace With them. But We can CONQUER
them.t Admitting, however, 5thzt we cannot,
there Is still good reason for not making peace
TIL we r. have tirst demonstrated our ability to
invade them, to overrun their territorY. and
have made them understand that IN any future
contest they will get, the worst Of the bargain.
majority Of the Southern rebels stiif believe
that the great body Oi our people are 1 nercen-
aryy canning set Of cheats in trade, and hypo-
crits in religion, mere .peddlers and swipdlers,
destitute OF courage and all manly qualities,
who dare not fight, and for each half dozen Of
| whom one Southern "geBtlemaiii" iss 1 match,
whether In guerrilla f0rsy or jpitched battle.
Now, If we hope hereafter to live on any solera.
BILE terms sith these people, either under one
Constitution two, this ingrsined sentiment Of
Southern superiority must, during this war, be
| washed out in the blood Of the traitors below
the Ohio and Potomac. There isno alternative
| lett but to conquer them or be subdued by them.
| II We yield without contest commensurate
with the greatness Of the occasion and the vast
armament We are putting into the field, then let
US be assured that the arrogsnee beresofors
