How Rebels regard Democratic Victories
in the North.

Importance the South attaches to Il recon-
s:ruciion o. Tie Democratic party, and the
anxiety manifested for lis success. The cX-
tracts quoted show quite clearly who the reb-
els regard rs their friends at the North, and
upon what they rely for ultimate success
Show lis man who sympathizes with the
South, and we will show you one who is jul
llant over ,hc Democratic victories in the
North. An explanation to this is found
in the quotations made. The following is
from the H;ch.nonI Eluwiner Of October Is:

The following is from sermon preached by
the celebrated DIR. L.acock, of the Episcopal
Chmch in New Orleans
'.Wc have yet friend, left us in the North but
they cannot act for till we have acted for our
selves. and it would bc4as puslanmOus in us to

So m"cl, by way of Southern testimony.
The Oregon Statesman, in an able article
urging the disbanding of the Democratic
party, .ind the organization of Union party,
published few months ago, holds the follow
ing language:
"Wc understand it to be impossible now, with
80 many traitors IN tue guSc OF democrats. to Or

If there were any who in December last
dssented from the .StatcsmaA's position, they
