r-Last Saturday, was the anniye

EI-Last Saturday, was the anniversary of
the assault upon the Massachusetts troops in
the streets of Baltimore. Since that day posi-
tions have changed. Baltimore, by force, is
now Union city, the rebels are driven out
of Maryland. out of Western Virginia, out of
Missouri, out of Kentucky, and almost out OF
Tennessee, and the Flag of the Union waves
over every State. The future, which year
ago appeared so bright to the workers of trea-
son, is now filed with blackness and despair.
They are now being driven at all points, the
Generals have lost confidence with the people,
and the army is becoming demoralized. They
still present some strong points, but they de-
splay the best "stategy" in their magnificent
retreats. "Our country yet remains'"

DEMOCRATIC CoNSIoTENCY.-Soln time
since, when Democratic Editors and orators
were wishing openly for the assassination OF
Lincoln and the defeat and destruction of his
abolition horde" there were loud cries from
these self-styled patriots about the cowardice
of mob law, the danger of restraining free
speech (even though it were tIeason), and
cOndemning in the strongest terms all who
advocated shutting the mouths of those
who were 'giving aid and comfort to the en-
emy." But, now, the tables have turned,
Wendell Phillips has been mobbed, and how
gaily these gentlemen ~ tell the story of an
0nh-slavery ore tors difficulty. Now it is
right! now IL is noble now it is brave O,
Democracy thou art a jewel Thou art a
faithful child of old Satan, thy father.
