Why Do They Fail?

Every one, even the least Observing, must
have noticed that whatever the claims or SEEM
| ing claims or the public expectation Of certain
prominent generals in this monsrous war, they
invariably break down after they become ayowed
Abolitionlsts. Fremont, fifteen years agu, was
the most promising man of lis age in all this
oountry.-He was ;licn Carolinian, living in
California, but, step by step, abandoning the
Democratic principles in Which lie was educated,
he became arliticially great as the Abolition
candidate for the Presidency in 1856. Five
years later he was sent to Missouri with (l-
surpeD imperial power, and the whole mighty
Northwest in the hollow of his hand. He built
mud forts about St. Louis, raised big armies,
fattered the Dutch, was lckcl by Price, issued
a proclamation of ''frecdonl," and subsidized into
Major General Fremont, drawing a salary of
$4,000, and making himself useful as chair,
man of league meetings, &c. General Hunter,
in other days model soldier, succeeded him,
dill nothing, was sent to South Carolina, wherc
he also issued n proclamation of '.frecdou,,"
;,bolsling society in all the surrounding States,
and ended with Jeff Davis setting Il price on
his head, which, if he ever ventures close enough
to the ''rebes' to be caught, is pretty certain
to be paid. Pope, the immortal Pope, was the
next victim, and though ho was never much of
a soldier, he made u tremendous noise for
while and then exploded. Ambrose Burnside
followed him, did pretty we'll ut Newbern and
fSoanUHe, DuJ anostuds, lie ;tisu at tIIo D;iIs
of the Abolition mumbo;jumbo, fought on the
wrong side of the river and knocked out the
brains of ten thousand of his men against the
entrenchments Of Fredericksburg.
"Figh,ing Joe Hooker" General Pillows old
Adjutant General, was q strong pro-slavery and
sensible fellow, sent back niggers who ran away
from their homes in Maryland, fought bravely
under Mcclellan, but he, too, became a
convert to the great cause of ''freedom," and
then, with one hundred and twenty thousand
men, the ''best army ON the planet" was beaten
out of his shoes by Lee with fifty-iire thousand
''barefooted and hat.starsed rebels" Finally,
the last and greatest, ''old Rosey," who oncc
it is said, was too much for Lee himself, became
the model hero, the exponent, the very ''champi-
on Of '.freedom," who only wanted a chance
to turn his bayonets on northern Copperheads,
has failed worse than all his predecessors
They say he is actually coward, and John w.
Forney says that he fed from the field of Chick
amauga to Chattanooga, declared that all was
lost, and then lay insciisibe from opium for four
and-twenty hours. What record! What
monument of dead regulations, of fallen heroes
and miserable victims to the Abolition idol, to
the huge and hideous god Of niggcrsm that now
overshadows the land!
Such has been the fate of all, or nearly all,
of those who prustrate themselves at tho feet of
The Abolition mumbo- jumbosm of the day.

under, sooner or later. Thus, Jefferson and his
party, jackson and his party, wers honored,
while the Adanises and their friends f,iled-
And Of all the contradictions or violations Of
the natural order, there has been nothing in all
history SO monstrous as the Abolition lunacy.
Just think, twenty-seven millions OF white men
to be forced down Or four millions Of negroes

the latter to be made white, or if "Honest Old
Abe" stood pledged to give them the same color,
all would sec the boundless and impious extrav-
agance of his emission" and yet that would be
single item Of the tout ensemble of his present
undertaking. This, then, is why our Abolition
generals miscarry, for If they could succeed,
and "Old Abe' fulfill his ''mission," cqualize
those God has made unequal, why, then, it Is
obvious he would push aside the Almighty, and
begin to make new world altogether. for sure
