AAAAtenAoie h1SatH, Homes and AitRrE.
- Il is altogether modern practice which
oOnspiiatOrs have of talking SO grandly
- about inalienable rights, homes and sltars.
a. Mr.. Jefferson Davis is Of the modern
school. BE Invariably askes his perora-
ton Of such ssertd and venerable things.
as ms this .high-sounding sppsal always
ready to apply as sOpOrifc for every pain
the rebellion feels II disasters over
shadow like the wings Of night, he is yet
sure that little longer tugging will secure
inalienable rights and sltars. If gold be-
comes a myth, and Confederate scrip by
the bssketfal must be given for pair Of
new boots he has 3 triumphant faith in
inalienable rights. If his Cabinet degen-
crates into scolding cabal, and every do
-- Partment Of the governing machine is sad
- ly out Ofrig, he has blessed psnaces in
- being able to assure his people of the ulti-
mate triumph Of homes and altars. Davis
has somewhat of the unconquerable assur-
Ence Of Moloch himself
What if nine days and nights had been
spentin whizziBg through far-resOundiDg
chaos from the blessed realms above? He
was not dishesrtenedl Heaven might yet
be scaled, and dreadful vengeance inflicted
on his fell pursuers. He would not lie
floating on the sulphurous waves, but coun-
eiled deeds Of high surprise. So with JEFF
he is not boy to go behind the door and
cry. He is not man to say, "Give me
some drink, Titinius, as sick girl" Re-
oOgnizing the fact that be is encompsssed
on al hands with the swarming invaders,
and feeling his presidential chair now and
then indulge in few sdmOnitOry tremb-
Hngs beneath him, he puts on a practical
air, and swaggers before his deluded oOun-
trymen about the sacred cause Of inalien-
sole rights, homes and altars.
Whose? Those Of the common people he
and his cenfederates have inveigled into
90 wicked a war Is it the inslien-
able rights, homes and affairs of the poor
whites or the poor blacks that he is SO ex-
cessively snzious about Not at ALL
Presious little he cares for them, It is
the inalieDable rights Of Ny Lord Davis
and Benjamin and Memminger to f G
niggsrs and enslsve white men that it is
=. - 90 Important 10 establish. 1t is the sltars
upon which Freedom is sacrificed, and OBJ
s1 IAtions are made TO the Ebon Goddess that
@ must be fought for. It is the homes Of
- wealth battling on their in-gOtten gains
ua built upon unpaid labor, that are to come
= clt triumphant from the. clouds of war.
~ Mr.. Davis must have singular notions
Of Providence. According to his view
HGod has blessed them with success dis-
y PropOrtiOnate to their means" We have
- no doubt of 1t all And we prophecy still
more signal manifestations Of prOVidtn-
tial care in their behalf. We should not
Be surprised at all to seeit interpOsed so
far as to close up the establishment by
next July and send him and his compan-
ions-in arms either to Europe or to The
gsllows. And we have no doubt that JEFF
fsrson Davis will have evidence of the di-
vine favor in securing for the South very
different style of insliensble rights, altars
and homes from those for which he says
they must make one more grand effort.
