There oAe rqJJle" said arebol dress

as the long procession of citizen yolun-
teers passed along the streets with the
Stars and Stripes floating at their head.
Rabble, indeed! And what have the
working men and mechanics of this city
done to these new-made noblemen Of
ours that they should be reproachcd as
rabble? Have they not made these very
purse-proud creatures rich, and minister
ed continually to their comfort? Have
not the poor laboring men been the bene-
factors OF this and all other countries?
All, men whose hardened hands have
never counted the gains of extortion and
heartless oppression, hold up your heads
like true men, and be not abashed by the
insulting ieers Of those who are living
witnesses that wealth and principle do
not always go together. "Thae 20 the
rab5le" Rabbe Rabble masons, rabble
carpenters, rabble smiths, rabble printers
and rabble tailors We think we saw
some rabble lawyers, doctors and mer-
chants also in The procession; men whose
hearts are open TO all honest men, and
who have brains and principle as well as
wealth, and who seorn to affiliate with
traitors. Loyal men of Nashville, tell
your hrainless villiilers that you have
weapons for the defence Of your wives
and children, and that while .ycu scorn
to handy words with would-be aristo-
crat, you have strength to put twice your
number to inglorious flight if they are Of
sueh material as your former masters, or
those who claimed to be your masters.

We sometimes think that the Admin
istration at Washington hasno Qar policy.
1t seems to have sent out four hundred
thousand soldiers into the field, who, on
entering the enemy's country, are to dis
perse in small squads of two or three
hundred, administer the oath to returned
rebel soldiers, aud make constitutional
and conservative arguments TO traitors,
who care no more for the constitution
than they do for last years almanac, and
who hate conservatism worse than good
christian hates the devil Unluckily for
this kid-gloved system of warfare, while
our speakers are in the "height of their
great argument" the bullet of guerrilla
silences their harangue forever. We are
killing up the finest body Of men ever
mustered in the field TO crafty the logic
of conservative editors and Congressman,
and to protect the peculiar Institution"
OF infatuated and implacable rebels.
Force, force, is what is needed. Con-
servatism has shed an ocean Of needless
blood already, and il is time that its i'm
becility was showed aside by something
with muscle and sinew on its bones.
Either the loyal men of the Union or the
