said:

Ii is not alone that our armies are defeated. The
painful truth ia manifested that the President Of
the United States and Generals IN the field

party whose object IL not the restoration Of this
Union, but the abolition of slavery Their fanati-
eism renders them unfit for the high duties of
statesi ansbp, and their sectional malice deprives
them Of the maguanimity essential in our imperial
Republic.
Our duty ia clear Let us animate and cheer our
soldiers in the field, contributing tc their wants and
swelling their numbers. At the same time. let
crush at the ballot box those reckless who are
ready to throw away their own liberties and de-
stroy the unity of the Republic, 10 that they may
wreak upon States which now and shall for
ever remain sister States the unntigate ed curse
Of abolition.

great General, but a statesman worthy Of the oc
casion and of the responsibility which he has AZ
sumed. The safety OF the country il entrusted to
him He is bound TO see that no insidious enemy
turks behind about his base of operations. His own
security aud the security OF his army are involved,
and the fate OF the republic itself IL at stake. He
is master OF the situation. He is the only man in
whom the troops and thu country have confidence
a. a General fur-the chief command of the army in
+he field. He has right to demand indemnity for
the past and security for the future. and he ought
not to rest satisfied till be is assured by facts not
mere PROMISES that his plans shall not be nterfered
with hereafter. The game is now in his hands, and
unless he plays his best trump and disposes etfeC.

Maryland, on which hang the destiniss OF the
American republic and of millions of the human
