ministratiOn be wise in time, or must we endure
another year of war and debt before we learn
as we must ultinately learn-to fight n earnest?
Let but the government strike one blow at the
abolition traitors, and the rebellion viii stagger
| with o mortal wound, while thousands Of loyal
But scrupulous mea, who have been misied by
aSolitionists, and new hold back, decliniag to
| fight for emancipation and amalgamatiOn,- will
| crowd our armies and carry the old flag tri-
umphantly over the last stronghold Of rebel
lion.
The ARCH TRAITOR OvT NoRTH.-Cnquess
tionabEy the arch traitor Of the Union is not
Jefferson Davis, but Wendell Pizillips. Davis
is criminal of lesser magnitude. A speech of
Phillips il published in e,of his New York
radical organs (the Tirnes), in which he avows
that he has been traitor and's disunionist for
upwards of thirty years. "Ts-day," says this
\ demagogue; Jefferson Davis is doing less to
/ break this Union by his armies at Richmond
than Lincolnsy his Cabinet policy and delay
il the city ofsMashington." This-istfvic of the
traitor PHILIPPE Mmself, and not cfsAf. lincoln.
Had there becnnO Wendell Philips; mo- Garri-
SON and no Greeley, there would have been no
Jefferson Davis.at the head Of rcbe4lious con-
federacy. Secession is the spawn ef: aNolition.
From anti-slaverT disunion the Southern rebel
lion Has derived 'its being and all it's vitality.
Had the abolitioNtraitors been crushed in time
there'would be no necessity for wsgmg war
against Southern dnsusrection to-day
Phillips gloatsoyer the disasters to orrrarmy
becauss the atrocioue policy Of Fremont and
Hunterrwas not adopted, and because the ne
groes were not armedte cut the throats~of all
Southern white woman and children, after the
approved model of the. st. Domingo massacre,
which he is accustorsed to hold up for the aa-
miration of mankind. He confesses that it -
not the restoration OF the Union he desires to
see, but TIE abolition o. slavery, and hence his
aversion to Mcclellan and his disparagement
of his services. He Gays the reason whysthat
general has failed is that George Washington
and the other sages anai patriots who drew UP
the constitution in 1871 tied up one of his hands;
whereas the first use Fremont made Off his
sword was to cut the restraint of the consdtu-
ton. Here Is plain avowal that Phillips and
the radicals are leaguea to overthrow the oon-
stitution--an avowal that they want to inaugu-
rate reign Of anarchy and blood, like the 'des-
peradoes Of the French Revolution.
II JEFF. Davis and tho other leaders in, the
Southern rebellion merit tho extreme penalty
of the law, whattless DO such Northern traitors
as Robespierre Phillips, Lloyd Garrison and
Horace Greeley, deserve. who have been labor
ing with all theirsmight to overthrow the Union
for the last thirty years?
SOURCE OF THE MIsMANAGEMENT OF THE War
The HoPE OF RErORM.-There can be no, laoabt
that the government has expended six hundred
millions of dollars and the lives and health
of one hundpsd. and fifty thousand troops
since the Inauguration Of the war, and
still we are without any decisive result.
brought into, the field and the millions Of
money raised to sustain it, the war would be
terminated in one year. But instead of that 1t
will extend over two years, and it may be for
longer period. What is the cause of this? Mis-
management Of the grossest kind. By the in
reference of the committees Of both. houses Of
Congress, and by their illradvised and silly
speeches. expressing their opinions apon mat
ters of which they were profoundly ignorant,
caused the expenditure Of 50 much blood and
treasure in vain. They have rendered neces-
sary the calling into the service three hundred
thousand additional mea-perhaps half million
would be nearer the mark. II Is fortunate tina.
Congress is about to adjourn; for otherwise the
| consequences might be most fatal to the country.
| Now that Jacobn committees are about to take
their departure from Washington, and to leave
the management Of the war in the hands of the
President and his generals, there is prospect
of brighter days, confident hope that new
era of reform will be inaugurated, that great
many of the blunders will be retrieved, and
that the next year will see the war brought to a
successful issue.
Meantime the elections will tako place, and
we trust the people will look after the men
who misrepresented them in the legislative
halls Of tho nation. Let every man Of them gel
leave to stay at home in future, and let totally
different set of men be sent to Congress. Let
the Wades, the Chandlers, the Summers and the
Wilson's be consigned to oblivion, and le,
patriots and practical men take their places.
PROMISE WITH PERroRxANcE.-The newc com
mander Of the Army Of Virginia, General Pope
has issued dashng address to bis soldiers, il
which he promises them speedy sight Of tn
enemy and plenty Of fight. The career of thi
gallant officer In the West is a guarantee tina
he will keep his word, and that We shall 500
, have stirring news from the valley OF th
Shenandoah.
