hlS IeutlilOH Is uulmuttu duu COu-
trolled by the worst spirit that ever
filed the bosom Of man. With singu-
lar audacity or ignorance, some persons
pretended to compare the rebellion OF
1861 with that of1776. How prepos-
ferrous and absurd There is not the |
rem otost analogy between them. They
we're, on the contrary. the very anti.
podes Of each other. The old Revolu.
tion was to establish aud perpetunte
freedom, but this one was to subvert
and destroy It, and make us vassals of
France or Groat Britain. The modern
revolution would, If Possible, reduce US
to the very servitude from which the
former delivered us. The spirit ofre
bellion was fondish, proud cruel and
lawless. 1t was so from the day when
the Devil raised The standard of revolt
in Heaven, and wnrred with Michael
the Archangcl, for the supremacy Of the
shlCS. We are lOlu tuat tHe DeVll was
conquered, and chained in the Internal
pit, but that he was to be loosed for
season. If ever the Devil was let loose
in the world, | believe that now is the
time, and that he is actuating this
Southern rebellion. Yet men tpho had
