pleasant Entertainment.

northern sympathizers with the rebels and
traitors, to have glimpse, occasionally, Of
the pleasant entertainment to which they are
invited, and also to know that their actl ons
and their language towards their Govern
ment, are such as to give their southern
brethren" the fullest assurance that such an
entertainment will be most acceptable.
The Chattanooga Rebel, one of the most in
fluential of the rebel journals, in an article
on the conduct of the war; says:
eve can arm and equip fifty thousand of
ssveterans. who never fed from the face Of
san enemy, and can move unhurt, and almost
'.unchalIenged, from Cincinnati to Boston,
ssTHeu can Lay in ashes the richest and most
''OopulouS Of the aorthern cities, tearing be-
'shind them a belt as broad and burning as the
''EcIiptic They can run burning ploughshare
cover the hot beds of pulling fanaticism, from
(which sprang the Ate turned loose on the
South"
This is certainly graphic picture Of the
entertainment sour southern brethren" most
magnanimously proposeforus, and it is prom
ising to do a great deal with only fifty tho@s-
and veterans, and we might think the prom
Use was made without due consideration of
the undertaking, if the same editor did not
enlighten us upon the modus operandi But
he shows that if his information has been cor
rect, the undertakings not so ch'merical as it
appears at first glance.
In the next paragraph to that above quo
ted the Rebel editor continues:
We beIieve firmly, that myriads at the
North are prepared to take refuge IN oar
&c ranks from the storm Of dispotism that is
d" darkemiag around hem."
How is it that this rebel and traitor editor
comes to 'believe firmly" that "myriads at
the North are prepared to join the rebel Or
gies of destruction, and laying Gin ashes the
richest and most populous of northern cities p
1t is true the editor when he wrote that, was
fresh from his interview with Vallandigham,
who had undoubtedly informed him that
''myriads at the North were prepared to take
refuge in the rebel ranks from ''the storm of
despotism, from which Vallandigham him
self had so fortunately escaped; but that
would not have so fully convinced him. 1t
was necessary that he should have read such
northern papers as the Chicago Times, Mil
waukee NewS, New York World, &C., after
which he could not fail of being firmly con-
WINGED.
Is it possible that the majority of the Dem
ocratic party of the North is prepared to en-
dorse this representation Of its reasonable
intentions Are loyal Democrats willing that
the representations Of this Rebel editor should
be taken as truthful. There is no doubt but
that the perusal of the editorials of many OF
the papers that are styled Democratic, would
warrant such a conclusion as that drawn by
the Chattanooga Rebel. The speeches, also
of such demagogues as Vallandigham, Fer
nando Wood, Gen. Singleton, Pugh, &c would
Justify the same conclusion. but we do not
believe the Democratic party is prepared to
Join the rebel army in raid for laying in
ashes 1.-The richest and most populous of the
Northern cities" fIom Cincinnati to Boston.
If they are not, they should at once repudiate
the representations of their leaders. They
can easily see that the belief in these repre-
sensations is giving the rebels great encour-
agement to hold out in their rebellion against
the Government. 1t is the ''myriads at the
North" that they are sedulously taught to
believe, would take refuge in their ranks
from the storm of despotism," (Which simply
means the Federal Government that adds to
their strength and hope, and urges them to
persevere in their wicked and causeless rebel
lion. They are taught this and thus aided
and strengthened, by those editors and dema-
gogues who are writing and spouting about
the demise of the Freedom of the Press and
the curtailment of the right of Free Speech.
Forewarned is to be forearmed. We may
yet have occasion to thank this rebel editor for
his out spoken braggadocio.
