The Last Hope OF the Rebels.
FrOm the N. Y. POst)
There are many signs to show that the
cause of rebellion is desperate. The reb-
els have exhausted all their own means.
Their last campaign, East and West, has
been simply a robber incursion to steal
supplies. The unhappy people of the
South, persuaded into warlike prcpara-
tious at first only on the assurance, con-
stantly repeated by the rebel leaders, that
there would be no war, and since then kept
quiet only by the constant promises of q
speedy peace, see no prospect but of in
creased sufferings before them, aud sigh
audibly for peace on any terms. They
have never had heart in the struggle i'm
posed upon them by the slaveholding aris-
tOeratsi they are daily becoming more
hopeless of success.
1t is to meet this sentiment, so dangerous
to the rebel cause, and to the supremacy Of
the rebel leaders, that the Southern journ-
ais of late more than ever abound in prom
ises of revolution in the North favorable
to the rebel cause. Every Southern jour
nal which comes to hand is filled with ar
ticles assuring its readers that presently
affairs will look better; that the Northern
elections show the ascendancy of men who
will give the rebels what they want. In eff
feet, the Southern journalists say to the peo.
Pile: "0nly have little moro patience, on
ly be quiet and obedient little longer
We cannot whip the North; we cannot gain
our ends by 6ghting; Europe will not help
us as we promised; but, better than all this,
our friends at the North are working for
power; only wait and they will give us all
we want" They say sour cause is lost
SO far us Fighting goes; We can no longer
hope for success by war; but if we
can only show firm front the party oy
towards and traitors at the North will CO.
erce the Government into giving us what
We want" And in proof of ;heir asser-
ttons they cite the speeches of Seymour,
Van Buren, the Woods, Cox, as well ms tho
submissionist gains in the recent cleo
tious.
It's this movement which now inspires
the enemy with hope aud courage for fur
ltI,a Il &, s,.
.agitation in the free states which gives the
rebel leaders one more excuse for not Civ
| ing up their bad ut;empt-whieh enables
them TO beguile the impatient and suffer-
ing southern people into quiet, and longer
endurance of their tyranny.
The Richmond Examiner speaks out in
plain terms in the number of October 25.
1t says:
"The gains of the Democratic party in
the northern elections have been decided.
But the most important election of all is
| yet to take place in New York. x
The elections of New York will decide The
complexion of the next House of Rspreser-
tatives, and they thus possess an interest
which has attached to no other elections
that have taken place since the commence
ment of the war"
1t has small hopes of the democratic
masses, but points out which of the old
democratic leaders are on the side of the
rebellion; and it will be seen that they
are the very men now on the submissionist
ticket:
"lt would be unwise for the South to in.
dnlge too sanguiue expectations from the
advent to control of the Democratic pUliti-
clans of the North. She reco!lects that
the Infamous Butler, the silly aud rabid
Dickinson. and long list OF apostates like
Cass, Gushing, Buchanan and Richardson,
we're once so extremely conservative on
sectional questions, rs TO be denounced as
doughfaces by their opponents 10 that Sec
rion of the Union; and that while here and
there are to found one Pierce, one Vallandig-
ham, one Wood and tt1o Seymours, like the
FIVE just men in Sudom, yet the great body
of her former friends are as firece in their
apostacy to former principles as Butler
himself"
"But yet" adds the rebel writer, ait is
not to be denied that Democ ratio victory
at the North would be subject of much
qualification"
Aud he reverts to the promises of sue.
cess;
"As time wears on we have reason to hope
and believe that the arguments for peace
will become more aud more cogent and
compulsory with the North. We have
reason to believe that Europe will be oblig-
ed, NOT merely by the dictates of enlarged
ipbilauthropby, but by the more potential
commands of interest and duty, to interfere
for the suppression of the American war;"
