Call back your sons, repeat, or crusl
\ this inslduous monster at home and The
rebellion abroad together. Rebellion
has lost faith in expected foreign recog-
milton. It's miserable sympathizers in
England lack courage to come 10 time

regular lineal descendent Of the harden

rests In the aid and sympathy it can
command in the loyal States, 10 save il
from the condign punishment and igno-
bic end which awaits it, and looks more
to the success Of this ticket to day than
to the exploits of Stonewall Jackson.
Call back your sons, | say again, or
crush this political hope OF rebellion at
home. When this hideous monster sees
us unite as one man, in one common
purpose to crush it, it will yield but
until then it will struggle on, like the
writings OF venomous serpent, till ex-
terminated. 1t would long since have
yielded, but for hope of propositions Of
peace from political quarters, and terms
of accommodation and but for seeing
the executive denounced for unconstitu-
tional acts. and party rising up oppos-
ing the war in effect if not in name-foG
rebel leaders understand the matter in all
its bearings.
Alas how many brave spirits have
been quenched forever because of ibis
shameful, sinful division-by reason Of
this miserable political ambition to rise

Office aud spoils. But God will bring
its actors to judgment. Every house

You cannot restore her child, but you

The winds moan. aud the leaves rustic,
