who are the Loyal, and who are

the DislOyal3
II is source Of honorable pride TO
contemplate the elements which consti-
tute the loyal portion Of our people, and
contrast them with the faction Of treason.
Loyalty can truly boast Of possessing
the material and substance which consti-
flutes State,-the "high-minded men"
who are the glory of all nations. Trea-
son on the contrary has gathered in its
Tetinue the frivolous, the ignorant, the
cOnceited, the apes of foreign aristocracy,
the dissolute, and the profigate. In
ninety-nine cases out Of hundred, men
of experience, cultivation, correct morals
and elevated principle, are hearty sup
pOrters Of the Union. In nine hundred and
ninety cases out of a thousand the
debauched, the reckless, the giddy yOta-
ries of fashion, the bankrupt in political
and pecuniary fortune, the would-be
aristocrats and the snobs who follow at
their heels, are the violent and malignant
enemies of the Union. A man who
makes his living by honest tabor is in the
great majority of cases loyal, while one
who looks on labor as degrading is equal
~ apt to be disloyal Who originated
and planned this rebellion? FLOYD,
CoBB, and JEFF DAVIS, men of wealth,
and the repudiators of public and private
debts, JUDAH BENJAMIN, who was COM
PEELED to leave college in boyhood for
base thefts from his school-mates, and
other political schemers whose large
fortunes enabled them to dance attend
ance on the Courts of London and Paris.
The vigorous and manly and classic
literature of the nation is loyal to the
core. The men who are honored abroad
in the learned circles of Europe as poets,
historians, jurists, and inventors, are
without exception, SO far as we recollect
at present, firm and jealous lOyalists
The literature of the rebellion is confined
TO few ranting stump speakers, of large
gable and little brains, and few edit
Ors who write atrocious falsehOOds in
English that would disgrace a kitchen
wench's first effort at a love-letter. On
the side of loyalty we have BANCROFT
EVERETT, PRENTICE, BRYANT, LoNGFEL-
Low, MITCHELL, DIR. BRECKINRmGE, NOT
LEY the historian, and grand editorial
corps Of great power and brilliancyt On
the side of treason we find Armageddon
and the Confederate Almanac and Primer,
the two last works being plagiarisms from
Yankee works The parallel or rather
the contrast is one which will fill the
patriotic heart with an honorable pride.
The rebels, with more truth than they
are aware of, often call this a revival of
the war between the Puritans and the
Cavaliers of England The two wars are
indeed alike The same issues appear
in both, the great issues of free govern
ment and monarchy. The leaders of
the two parties are similar in their Origin
and character. The voluptuous and
prohigate King Charles is no bad proto-
type of King JEFF, while OLIVER CRoM-'
WELL, bluff, rugged and straight forward,
is not unlike blunt and honest ABRAHAM
LINCOLN, who possesses more true manli-
ness and chivalry in his soul than all the
officers in the rebel army from BEAURE-
GARD TO IsHAM G.. HARRIS. When we
look at the rebel army we find it only
the reflection Of that Of King Charles,
both armies being made up Of aristocratic
leaders, followed by an idle, vicious, de-
moralized mob. The Union army, like
that Of CRoMwELL's, is made up of in
dusirious, sober, substantial, God-fearing
citizens. The loyal forces will as surely
destroy the rebel armies as the sturdy
Puritans destroyed the mob of King
Charles.
