great work that derolves upon him
He has a more powerful army under
his command than any monarch Of Er-
rope. The finances of the country are
Oh a safe basis, and he has all the mon
ey he will require. He has navy ad
euuate to any service that may be de-
manded of it. With these abundant
and overfowins resources at his COM
narl-sustaineG and stimulated to the
most vigorous efforts by the fervid pat
riotism of the people, and by every mo-
tive which can animate a loyal heart,
he can make no excuse to his conscience
or his country if he fails to push this
war to a speedy and successful end
He must instantly put in motion every
arm of the national power. There
must be an end Of excuses, of apollo
gies and of delays. The country will
not longer tolerate half hearted coun-
sells IN the Cabinet, or half:hearted
leadership in the field. The fate Of the
nation must no longer be committed to
Generals who, like Essex in the English
Revelation, "next to great defeat,
dread great victory" The govern
ment must no longer be content with
defending itself against rebellion. 1t
must act upon the offensive-and act
with the vigor and determination that
insures q victory. If the recent elec-
tons shall inspire the Administration
with this spirit, and prompt it to such
action, they will be Of more service
than results which might have betray-
ed it into delusive and fatal conf
dence in the tiuitless policy it has hith-
erto pursued.
