THE NATIONAL FOLLY.

The astounding folly which rejects tue
aid Of the loyal blacks Of the South, in put.
ling down this internal rebellion against
the constitution and the laws, will be Il
matter Of increasing wonder to future gen
crations, wherever the history Of the CON
test is read. That any party, in o great
national cxigcncy, could be so criulinal1y
pc1verse; that any commanding general
could he SO careless Of the comfort and the
lives of his men, that any Administration
could he SO short-sighted, rs to say, as the
Democratic party, nearly all our Generals
and the Republican Administration do now
soy, to tender fthe toll and blood Of black
men who are burning to earn their freedom,

"told thousands Of lives yet to spare, and
"until they arc exhausted, We shoot

Nc have such profound confidence
in the masses Of the Democracy Of the
North-in their love for the Union, in
their desire TO put down the rebellion, and
in their steady adherence to the forms Of
Republican Government as represented by
the Administration now in power-th We
are free to affirm that when they sec the
real purpose Of their leaders like Vallan-
digham, VOORHEES, & Co, they will leave
them standing alone on their infamy, more
