cisely what it is driving at, but suppose tt
case may be stated thus. The Richmon
! Examiner of Oct. Oath, holds the followin
language in regard to the Ohio election:
"Whereas, we should have dreaded tn
evil effects of Vallandigham and his copper

would be, with q yigoro Gus prosecution

Far betteras it is; the present program

irrevocable separation from Yankees, winch
is the paramount political good. As the
President truly said at Selma, "only by
force of arms could the Yankees be brought
to reason, or their plans fer our subjuga-
ton be defeated"
Our cotemporary would break the force
of this announcement of rebel military
sympathy with his party. 1t is damaging
to it. 1t dose'nt like the company it finds
itself in. "Ths present programme happily
insures US complete, fual and irrevocable
separation from Yankees" says the Erami-
ner. The Rebel army and the Republican
party are working together for the same
ends-the one Willingly, the other, We will,
in charity say. unwittingly. This is the
''inexorabls logic of the situation, which
starss so unmannerly into the Intelligencsr's
face. To destroy its damaging effect it
quotes from another article of the Erami-
nsr to prove that paper inconsistent with
itself. IF the two paragraphs contradict
each other as the Intelhgencer asserts, it
proves only that the Examiner is unreliable
and what it says is Of no consequence to
anybody, except it may be to what some
might be cruel enough to call the inconse-
ouential columns in which it has been
so pompously paraded in this city.
Without undertaking to reconcile the
Examiner to itself, we meet tho Mtelltgeacer
upon its own ground Having discredited
its own witness, it will not attempt to bring
him upon the stand again. We have never

triues, but it certainly does not require an
extraordinary amount of insight into hu-
man nature, the motives that move men to
action, to discover the opposite effects Of
concilliation and irritation. We, happily,
are not dependent upon the credibility Of
the Richmond Examiner, or any other pa
per for knowledge of the fact, that, what
ever Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM's peculiar views
may be, the great conservative party OF the
North. which includes nearly every demo-
crat, will approach the South with moral
suasion, united with vigorous prosecution
Of the war-in one hand the sword, in the
other constitutional guarantees, apd homo
rable terms" This we know. This is what
the rebels fear; for under such blows the
Confederacy would fall to pieces crop
of unionists would appear again" IN the
South, and the war would end in the dis
com6ture of both Southern and Northern
disorganizers. The Intelligencer and its
party seem not to desire this. They are
opposed to carrying the sword in one hand
and constitutional guarantees" in the other

destruction, and annihiationin both hands
