Fearful that the rejoicing which it is
conscious will take place throughout the
rebel States over the success of their
friends in the North will startle its
Northern dupes, the Ledger commences
to prepare the minds of its readers for
that event 1t is now busy adjusting a
blindfold of prejudice over their eyes, SO
that when they hear the shouts of the
rebels they may attribute the rejoicing
to other than the true source. The
Ledger says
Again we protest against the efforts
OF the Abolitionists to represent these
recent conservative triumphs as the vic
tories of treason party, aiding and
3 comforting the rebellion. Such charges
are not only false, but mischievous in
the extreme. If the rebellion is encour-
aged to hold out one day longer than it
would otherwise do, on account of the
result of Tuesdays elections, the re-
sponsibility will rest with the radical
factionists, who alone contend that the
conservatives of the North are in SYM
pathy with secession. -
The Ledger would induce its readers
to believe that the mere enunciation of a
fact, originates the fact 1t is well
known to everybody who has taken pains
to consult the rebel newspapers that

announces it as the determination of the
democracy of the State, so far as ii can
learn, from ecery source, to let the Re-
publican party fight its own battles, .
significantly adding in conclusion:
"These blatant Republican talk about
compelling democrats TO help them fight
the South--that would be very inter
esting undertaking, and we will insure
them all the fighting they want without
going away from home.
Is it very surprising that, when rebels
read such language in a leading tory
sheet in this State, their hopes run high
over the triumph of a party advocating
such doctrines2 Yet the Ledger gravely
asserts that if the South derives encour-
agement from the recent elections in
this State, it will be because radical ia

Unionists) have contended that the con-
