To our minds, nothing since the war be
gan, save the emancipation proclamation.
has been SO disheartening to the success
of the Union cause (snd BY the Union
cause we mean tho cause of the restoration
of the Union by every means which would
contribute to that result) as the informa-
tion contained in the subjolned paragraph
from the money article of tie London
Times of the Esd ult:
The demand for money at the Bank
and in the open market was very active on
Saturday, chiefly in consequence Of the
large amount locked up in the shape of de-
posits upon the Confederate loan. The
Confederate loan touched S percent. pre-
MUM in the morning then it relapsed du-
ring short period to 4 per cent premi-
um, and closed at AZ and 4s premium.
The aggregate of the subscriptions in Lou
don Liverpool. Paris, Frankfort. and Am
sterdam is about fifteen millions
The Confederates are, then, able not
only 10 negotiate . loan in Europe, bu. 70
negotiate it a, premium! and We cannot
say whether the Federal government could
do as much.
The event discloses the judgment of the
most careful public opinion of Europe -
to the chances Of success by the Federal
government against the rebellion. and the
loan will rcplsnish the exhausted szchsqu-
er Of the Confederstes. and the sbility "
procure other loans hereafter will give
hope and confidence to the southern peo.
pie such as they have not felt before.
We venture TO declare that not until the
emancipation proclamation had its .ffsc,
upon the people of tho North, "a we'll -
of the Sonlh, could the Confederates have
negotiated loan in Europe on any terms.
The truth is, the administration at
Washington are deliberately numbering the
American Union Chicago Times.

late speech of Hon. j. X. EDeERroS, NJ
c. to the Democratic Mass Convention. at
Auburn. De Kalb County, Indiana. Feb
ruary 2lst 1868:
"Ever since the br,aking out Of the re-
bellpn in the Southern States, we have
heard and seen freely applied to those ol
us, who have adopted or adhered to the
name Democrat, and have chosen to main

istere1, and this war conducted according
to the Constitution many opprobious terms;
! seccssionists, semi secessionists, Northern
rebels, rebel sympalhizers, butteruuts,
copperheads traitors, are among the terms
freely applied to democrats. 1t is not
pleasant to have such names applied to us;
it is not for the peace or good order Of any
community. much less for the good Of the
nation. that they should be so applied

would be unworthy of our rights, and of
our high duties to our country, if We
could permit the SANDERS and abuse of
partisan editors or orators, or of deluded
private psrtisans, or even the wrongful
prosecutions of a partisan Administration,
to fright US from our propriety. or swerve
US from our sacred purpose. We can only
say to them, that they ignorantly perse-

good and not evil, for We can do no higher
service. even to our political enemies,
than by saving from destruction the Gov

should be as dear to them rs to us. Let de-
