VINO Giyo Ala and Comfort TO the
Rebels!

All true Union men In the South-those who
watch ard pray for the restoration Of the Union
upon tue old basis Of the Corstituticn-earn
ss,ly desire, as sn efficient and indispensable
means to that ond, the success OF the Demo
cratic and conservative perty Of the North.
Ali real Disunionists in the South-thoss
who, of .heir own free will ard choice, work
sud figh: for division of the Union and the es-
tablishnent Of an Independent Southern Con-
federacy as earnestly desire, as the sure
means of uniting the South in the rebellion and
protracting the war till their object is secured,
the triumph of the Abolition party in the North
the party that is now arrsyed against Demo-
Gratis and conservative men.
There is 10 need of citing facts aud argu'
mepts, which are abundant, to prove tho truth
OF these positions. They will be readily con-
csded by every intelligent and candid observer
Of passing events. The party which sustains
the Abolition acts passed at the last session OF
Congress, indorses and glorifes the late Aboli-
tion proclamation. and is properly styled, North
and South, the Abolition party, is the party
that gives laid and comfort" to the enemies In
arms against the Union, and has made the re-
bellion stronger TO day than 1t was year or
even ak months ago.
The leaders of the Abolition faction know
this, and yet to blind the people, they accuse
Democrats and conservative men Of being in
sympathy with the rebels, when they know that
the latter cannot possibly succeed without Abo'
li,ion aid and encouragement. Take away
that, and the rebellion would die in less than
six,y days for want Of sustenance. TakeaWay
that, and old Constitutional Unionism would
be revived in every Southern State, and that
which drew Southern people into the revolt and
has kept them in It, would be gone forever
Scarcely handful of the old stock of obstinate
rebels would be left, whose exemplary punish
msnt. az the hands OF their own fellow. citiEens,
would be swift and cure.
Doubtless, there are thousands Of men that
have been forced into the rebel army, who de-
sire the suecess Of Democrats and conservative
men at the North; for, according to the testi'
mony of HoRAoE GREELEY, one-half, or OF the
lowest estimate, one-third of the soldiers in
that army are at heart devoted to the old unioD'
and are only waiting for favorable moment
TO manifest that devotion. That favorable
momen. will come when Democrats and con-
serya,iyes gain the as,endency in the Northern
States and In our National Legislature; but
under the reign of Abolition fsnaticism and
madness, il will never come.
The Abolition leaders are determined that
Il never shall come. There lie nothing they 90
much dread as union Of old Constitutional
Uuionists, North and South. Such union
would be death blow alike to the rebellion
and tho hopes Of the Abolition factionists, who
sould rather see JEFF DAVIS acknowledged as
President Of an Independent Southern Republic
than tina. the slave States should remain In the
Union, with the same rights and privileges
they enjoyed under the administrator OF our
frat President, GroReE WAsHINsToN.
