plate the elements which constitute the LOYAL
portion Of our people, and contrast them with
the faction Of treason. Loyalty can truly boast
Of possessing the material and substance whicl,

who are the glory Of all nations. Treason on
the contrary, has gathered in it's retinue the
frivolous, the ignorant, the conceited, the apes
Of foreign aristocracy, the disolute and the

who follow at their heels, are the violent and
malignant enemies Of the union. A man who
makes his living by honest labor is in tile
great majority Of cases loyal, while one who
looks on laber as degrading il sequally apt to be
disloyal. Who originated and planned this re-
bellion! Floyd, Cobb and JEFF. Davis, men Of
wealth and the repudiators Of public aud pri.

dance attendance 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 his
torians, jurists, and inventors, are without ex-
ception, as far as we recollect at present, firm
and jealous loyalists. The literature of the
rebellion is confined to the few rant:ng stump
speakers, of large gsbble and little brains, and
. Few editors who write atroci0us falsehoods
in English that would disgrace q kitchen
wenoh's first attempt at love letter. On the
side Of loyalty we have Bancroft, Everett,
Prentice, Bryant, Longfellow, Mitchell, Dr..
breckenridge, Motley the historian, and
grand editorial corps of great power and brill
fancy. On the side Of treason we find Armaqed-
don and the Confederate Almanac and Primer,
the last two works being plagarisms from

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 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
Government and monarchy. The leaders of
the two parties are similar in their origin and
character. The voluptuous and profigate
King Charles is no bad prototpye of King JEFF;
while Oliver Cromwell, bluff, rugged and
straight forward, is not unlike blunt and hon
est Aoraham Lincoln, who possesses more true
manliness and chivalry in his soul than all
the officers in the rebel army from Beaure
gard to !sham 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 demoralized mob, The Union army,
like that of Cromwell's is made up of indusrri-
GUS, sober, substantial, God-fearing citisens.
The loyal forces will as surely destroy the reb-
ell armies as the sturdy Puritans destroyed the
mob Of King Charles.
