Ia The late NGrherD papers that reach US we observe
a significant relaxation OF that feDdsh braggadOciO that
characterized the Abolition onslaught few months ago
against he South. Although claiming victories in ev-
cry engagement which resulted in driving the grand
Federal ny from the very do0S of Richmond 10 he
OF their Notifications about Washington yet these
victories have saddened the heart OF the North And
we'll they 'ay for by them The hopes CT the North in
Their GOO 900 drilled, disciplined aud acclimated sol
diers have bee1 crushed ard their Inflated mpons con
quered scattered and thoroughly d moralizad.
The question may we'll recur to Northern minds that
III their 10000 veterans have been overcome by tie
victorious egoDs Of the South what will battle fate OF
The 100000 raw lewis?
We hear nothing Of that Gjppaut ari iasolent
agon about crushing the " Rebellion, (which was not
long since embazoned IN every column OF every North
rewspapc. Instead OF this hear OF intense ex-
element aud extraordinary preparation in Northern
cities 10 defend them against the irresistible march Of
the rebels. The alarm Tor the defence of the city OF
Washington has taken the place OF the premature exu
tatlon over toe fall OF Richmond. The great contend
jog almcs have and God has given another signal
Victory to the soldiers who tight in the cause OF lstice
and liberty against the hosts OF tyranny and oppression
A few months ago the arrogant and wicked North
ubilant the supposed straits OF the rebels
They had US so nea conquered thatt only needed
other overwhelming host OF 100000 more to secure
success beyond doubt. In their CXtravagant dbila
0n IN 6aVing u.s. as they thought, completely at their
mercy they exhibited their great naqnanmitY towards
brave but vanquished foe by enacting c0ufacation
laws aud passing sweeping resolutions tor the wiping
out Of people and the taking possession of ali the
property we might possess to pay their war debt.
l be fairy prospect OF being themselves visited with
all the horrors invasion Shas had humanz;ng effect
among them There is significant ebb in the wild and
turbulent tide OF fanaticism and fendShness. WI no
tice pause 10 the great rush of the Northern people
ere yet their liberties arc utterly wrecked and they leap
head-long, III the yawniDg abyss of final rain. IhL
pause may bring reiuection reflection will restore the
wondering Senses when they will be enabled to gee how
wicked they have been, and how utterly run0us ono

they trampe upon the Constitution of their fathers anC
are false to tue teachings Of Washington, Jtfferson
jackson, and the great Genius CT the United States
Government, when they try to ensave proud people.
10 facilitate so rational conclusion on their part
let us Use utmost Efforts. Let cur brave armies
continue to oxpound to them the true meaning O
Liberty, ard pile up argument upon argument in favo
of the right OF selEgOYernment. Let US talk to then
