p A Word for Freedom.
For s;xtcen months Mr. Li0col1 Ia
been trying to put down the rebellion
and save slavery. In o shorter pcrioc
than this the long demoralized descend
ents of the Roman legions buckled on tic
" ancient valor Of their race and achieved
= Italian independence. England and
Of. France humbled Russia in shorter Pc
cd riod, and Great Britain efectualIy quell-
We ed the Sepoy revolt in less time than it
9 has taken this government to get ready
at to fight
8. That the shareholders rebellion is not
d now completely squelched out is due, no
:. doubt, to variety of causes. The DEM
ocratic party, by long lease of almost
uninterrupted power, had become shame
Iess|y prodisate and corrupt at the Ma.
tiona' Capital. JEFF. Davis, Stevens,
Cobb, Toombs, Floyd, Breckenridge,
WigiaIl, Wise, Hammond, Mason, Sli.
dell-all in arms or commission against
the government, today, were, no longer
than two years ago, the leaders at Wash.
lngton of the democratic party. They
had befouled all the avenues Of political
power; had permcatcd all the public off
ces with treason, or, at least, with respect
for treason aud traitors; had armed trai.
tors and disarmed true men; had sent the
navy wool gathering to the ends of the
earth; and had left the government in q
we'll nigh hopeless condition. Then men
of "conservative' sentiments sprang up,
fastened to a dry bones convention a,
Washington, and, with the assistance Of
such pure.minded patriots as the late
John Tyler, attempted to peacably recon
struct the government. They made
shabby failure Of it, Of course, but the,
lost good deal Of valuable time, Of which
the rebels made the most. Then w.
have had, as a whole, the stupidcst set O
generals the world has ever seen, or, i,
all human probability the world can SCI
again. These things, aud others which
need not be mentioned, have longthene,
the war till the rebellion has now grow
lnta monstrous proportions.
But they have all sprung, directly O
indirectly, from the same causo-respec
! for slavery. 1t might seem that thi
could have nothing to do with stunt,
, generals But think of it a moment
aid you will see that this alone ken
Mcclellan in command, till he had lef
:. forty thousand dead Unionists in the;
: shallow peninsular graves, ,nd had vast
q cd five hundred millions of treasure in
campaign resulting in failure scarcel,
;, less than horrible. Why is Fremont 9TH,
q only man who ever whipped Stonewal
!, Jackson) out of command? WHY {;
If Lew. Wallace at the head of only reci
IS ment? and why is Buell. in command O
y an army instead Of before drum hea
court martial? 1t is the influence Q
: slavery which keeps miserable command
n ers in the field, and good ones at home.
h The slavery tack has now been trie
+ long enough Sixteen mouths of con
stltutional tenderness for those who hay
for sixteen months been at open, savae
war with the Constitution is about :;
much as the rebels have any reasonab
. right to expect. We think even NJ

. SO the President seems to think
" Wherever tho Union armies 90, the,
- slavery will be stamped to death.
!, million IF men will soon march from II
Potomac to the Rio Grande, and lea,
49, no vestiges Of slavery behind them n
-; more tenderness for the rebellion mean
>, in effect, no more tenderness for SLAYER,
!, Whether Mr.. Lincoln shall "proclaim
. o, not, slavery Is doomed. Let him O,
" ~ show the world and his generals. tn;
a he thinks more of freedom than Of sla,

i his hordcs would call upon the mountain

> Let US have these two crushing armie
a not for the sake of abolition, but for tn
~ sake of the Union. If We must not hel
e the n'sgers, let US be no longer so preiv
n diced as to forbid them helping us out c
this blood wasting war.
! The unprecedented sales aud unbound
ed popularity Of DR.. Christie's Agu
u ba|sam has induced several persons 4
S get up an Ague Balsam Initiating DR.
Chr'stie's in almost every particular, a.
far as appearance is concerned, and, wa,
1t not for the law, would even have an
propriated the name of DR.. Christie =
Beware Of all Ague Balsams except DR.
Christie's as his is the only oriyiualano
genuine article. All others are base imi
tatons.
Again We repeat the caution-Be sure
and ask for Dr. Christie's Ague Balsam.
and take nothing else.
