that are continually scoldiug about the
high Taxes necessary to pay the expenses
If the War. These papers never hint to
heir readers the assistance they gave the
eading Disuniopists in forcing upon the
country the evil they now complain of.
Had there been no Secession feeling and
.ction. in the Charleston aud Baltimore
by Northern Democrats, We

ecession Of S,ates-auy rebellion. The
wing of the Dsmocraticparty
