What the Baltimore Secessi0nists
say Of the Intentions OF the Reb-
els.
BALrIMoRE. Sept. 5. 1862.


BALTIMORE, Sept. 5, 1862
The secessionists in Baltimore now
say that it is not the intention of their
army to strike at either Washington or
Baltimore, but to make for Pennsylvania
across the western counties of this State,
and thence to aim for Philadelphia and
New York, where they propose to winter
in spite of all resistance, and that then
this city and the capital viii necessarily
fall into their lap like over-ripe pears
shaken from their stems by the blast of
war They fear an assault on Balti-
more because they believe it will be de-
stroyed by the Union forts surrounding
it, and they want to get il whole and UNI
touched.
Simultaneous with the march on Phil
adelphia and New York, they say that
Cincinnati and Pittsburg will fall into
their possession Their eyes are now
turned with great anxiety to the move
ments on Cincinnati. They boast of be-
ing able to keep Washington beleaguered
with very small force of theirs in front
of our fortigcations while the mass of
their army will be released for the pro-
posed aggressive movements on Phila-
delphia and New York, which they say
cannot be saved, unless we withdraw our
force from the defence of the capital, in
which even the seat Of war will be re-
moved into the free States, where they
expect to receive the symyathies of the
secessionists to help them subdugate
their opponents.
The sudden disappearance of the enc
mys army from the front of Washington,
they say is part of the movement and
its temperance will be where no one
expected to see it. Such is the enemy s
news this morning, and they do not at
tempt to conceal their purpose in con-
versation with Union men. After the
wonderful events of the last ten DAYS no.
body laughs at the enemy now for theiI
extravagant utterances
There is scarcely doubt but that the
above is the rebel programme, however
bold and unfeasible it may seem. They
see that we are divided in regard to the
manner of carrying on the war, and they
believe they can take advantage of that
division Of sentiment While we believe
that is their programme, we also believe
that certain semi-secessionists at the
North have been advised of it, and have
squared their actions accordingly. For
this purpose they have done all in their
power to embarrass the administration.
While voting appropriations, they vote
against every plan proposed to raise
money. They have Iabored day and
night to poison the minds Of the people
against the government under the pre-
tence of party. They have appealed to
the baser passions and prgudices Of the
ignorant and the selfish. They have pic
tured the great burden of taxes, the low
price of produce, and prated Of negro
equality" and abolitionism.p They
have labored to incite jealousy ard hste
in the minds of the people of the ~
against the New England States, and t
impress the minds of the people of the
West with the idea that our Commercial
interests are all with the South. Thes'
things they have done while making louc
professions ofattachment TO the Consti
tuition and the Union While unsparinl
in their denunciation Of the Administra
ton, those who sustain the Administra
ton, and Of the abolitionists, they neve
say any thing that could give offence t
the leaders of the rebellion.
If a man who has been a Democra
declares himself earnestly in favor Q
suppressing the rebellion and Furnishing
traitors, they follow him with the mos
malignant abuse and denunciation.
No democrat, who has taken CON
mission in the army or an Office in til
civil Government and manifestes dis
position to do something, has escape
their malignity. They are denouncc
as abolitionists, mercenaries, and CO
rupted by bribery.
Wendell Phillips, who never professe
loyalty to the Government and the Cons
tuition, is not abused half so malignant
are their dennnciations Of General Butte
Dumont, Wallace, andHnnter. of AM
