The Effect

The effect Of tie result IF the October

ON the feelings Of the peol lie of the South,
is seen in TIE more vigorous movements Of
the rebel armies, and in the comments of
the Southern press.
! The apparent sweeping majority of the
| peOple of the North in favor IF the radical
! policy of the Administration. is having the
10 st depressing effect upon the Union men
! of the Snuth. By the recent vote they are
| given to understand that a large mai ,rity
of the Northern peoFle are in favor of de-
priving them Of al constitutional rig lts,
destroying the Southern States. and re-
duc'ng the white people thereof TO a con.
drtion woIse than that of their negro
slaves.
This is the edict that has been sent cut
by the October and November elections.
There is not man SC stuped as not to
| know that the triumph of AbolitionIsm in
! the North, forever seals the fate of the old
Union. The people Of the S,uth-those
who were in favor Of reconstructing the
| Union On The old constitutional guarantees
have been forced TO unite with the des-
tructionists as q matter Of se!;-defprca and
necessity. 1t il thus that the policy Of
