of the Baltimore american ,
which We transfer to our columns, and do
most earnestly recommend to the atten
tion of every man who loves his country,
to every man who can give Il thought to
her salvation Let all such read this
mastery exposition Of the true state of
the case; let those read il over and over
again weighing every word of it until its
demonstratve and convincing force shall
have so thoroughly incorporated itself
with their own minds that their every
thought and every feeling upon this mo
mentous subject shall be in perfect har-
mony with the conviction to which it so
irresistihly leads, In word, until every
man of us (saye only the wretched few
whose natures are such as to compel them
to cherish perverse sympathy with the
traitors who have plotted their country's |
ruin) shall have his understanding, his
heart and his will attuned To perfect union
with those noble words LET -HE ma

The most careless observer in the land
must have noted one result as the conse
uuencc of late events connected with the
war and that is the new determination,
amounting to the utmost sternnesS, of the
Unionsts to scout all those dreams of
Cancellation" erewhile much in vogue in
relation to "our mistaken brethren Of the
South Especially are these demenstra-
tions frequent and plain from the troops
called upon to endure every sort of hard
ship and danger in the field In infinite
ways almost it dcvclopes itself of late but
principally in that universal letter-writing
from the camps, the productions Of which
will, somehow, find their way into print
Nothing has done so much to cherish
and develop this indignant sentiment as
the i'll timed and foolish scorn with which
every kindly advance on the part of the
Union troops has been received whenever
they have been quartered in Rebel com
munties for whilst they might readily
forget and forgive the most fiery, although
open and manly hostility yet their pride
and good feelings wounded will thereafter
permit no compromise until madness and
folly, in the shape of inordlnate prtde, has
been humbled as it deserves to be
Studiously insulting all with whom it
e comes in contact Secession never fails to
, vaunt itself and there can be no alter
native left but determined crushing out
of the last vestige Of those accursed pre-
tensions which brought so much sorrow
and destruction of life to the nation
