This extract speaks for ITSELF 1t needs no
expounding. Who is there among the work
ingmen of the North who does not feel himself
to be the equal, in all that makes the man, OF
these proud and imperious rebelsP Who is

while this pride remains unhjmblcd? No one.
we venture to say, who has drop OF the blood
of Revolutionary fathers in his veins No one
who has a spark of manly spirit.
This is no time to discuss the cause of the
war, or to attempt to shrk the duty Of citizens
upon any party pretext. He who does this is
incapable of entertaining patriotic emotion, if
he is not secretly traitor his country. Dem
Gratis may honestly believe that their opponents
have brought on this or sis by agitating the
slavery question, and Republicans may be equal
ly clear in their belief that the concessions of
the Northern Democracy to the constantly in
creasing demands of the slave interest have
produced all of these evils. Both may honest
ly entertain these opinions, but neither can
withhold their support from the Government in
this its hour of trial, without showing them
selves unworthy of its protection and of the
benefits of free institutions. Those who stand
aloof from this struggle, Withholding their SYM
pathy from the brave men in the field, seeking
to make division of public sentiment, and to
perpetuate party dissensions. had better emf
CRATE to the South, where their Unborn servilty
will be properly appreciated.
Let the support of the Government be made
an individual duty Those who are young,
strong and able bodied should ask themselves
whether it not their duty to take up arms in its
defense Those who cannot leave without a
ruinous sacrifice either of health or business,
should cheerfully and literally pay their taxes
and aid the families of the brave men who have
gone TO the field of battle. And all, even
women and children, may help to propagate
that patriotism and love Of country which will
give to the army more and better men for SOL
ders than could be drawn forth by the highest
bounties.-BOston Jolunai
