The heaviest load which the friends OF the
government hare been compelled to carrf
through this c1nvass las been the Inactivity
and iltf1csency Of the administration. We
speak flou knowledge OF public senti:nens
n every SECTION Of the S..lIe, when xs say
that the f.i!ure Of the government to prose-
cute thf: var With the ri,or, en:r.y sud sue
:ees which the vast rrsources a: its comm aai
warranted the c7unrry ia expecting as i!s
bands, has weighed like al incubus upon thu
pDhlic heart. With every disposition to sus-
tain the govasnment-witi tue most profound
conviction that the only hope OF the couatry
lies in giving +: cor1ial and effective sup
Fort-fts friends have heen unable to give .
satisfactory ans ~er TO the question tuat have
ccme up from every side: Why hes the war
splendid armies achieved snch slight sue
ceeEes? Why have they lain Idle so long,
and why have the victories they have Won
been go utterly barren of decisive results9
The war has dragged on for ! Sc # and halt.
The country has given the government over
million Of men, and all the money they could
pOtsi0iy nse; yet We have made scarcely any
progress toward crushing the rcbsllion. Tue
rebel armies still menace the capital Tneir
pTivateers defy our nsvy, and spread iucreas-
ing terror among Our peaceful traders on the
stas. What is the use of trying to sustain au
country, nnd sctms So iIdif .rent aud incom-
petent to the dreadful task committed to It's
hands?
It has been Impossible to lift the paoll:
such reflections, fortified BY the ineGor4hle
logic Of tac's, have brought upon II. The
people Of this State are thoroughly loyal to
the . U0lon and the Constitution. They desire
and demand that this rahelli0n shall be crush
ed They desire no half Eway measuree-they
Will tolerate TO base aud degrading compro-
tnise-they wilt never consent to any peace
which involves the disruption Of the Unton
end tie overthrow O. the Constitution. They
demand ayigo-ous rrosccH'ion ct the "c1s ;
and the fact that they have not had It, aud
that they have eeen no lair prospect Of get
ting II, has bred in them 4 degree Of dis.
couroSelne:l: anG despair wtic1, has left them
