The State of the Country.


The signs Of the times are at present en-
couraging. No loyal man at the North
should despair or grow faint hearted, at the
prevalence of disloyal sentiment
The tide of Democratic successes which
set 50 alarmingly high at the close OF the
wear 1862, has reached its high water mark,
and is surely ebbing as rapidly as ii flowed
The heart OF the country has always been
right, and the deceptive and false issues SO
adroitly Urged in the elections Of last year by
the leaders of the new democracy, have been
stripped of their veil of hypocrisy, and the
voters Of the North are now viewing with
horror. tie pit of treason, almost into which.
they had been precipitated by their unprincl-
pied leaders. The whole country is wheeling
into line to support the President,anl to sus-
tain him in his present pol cy in The conduct
Of the war. The exeesses OF the victorious
Democracy grown violent and drunk by their
triumph, as exhibited in the dis)r-anizing
proceedings in the Legislatures Of Indianna,
PENNSYLVANIA and New York, and the sober
second thought Of the people have done much
towards creating this reaction, bat large
and controlling share of the honor Of Great
( ing this revival sentiment Of loyalty and pa
triotism in the land should be awarded t.
oar gallant armies in the field. It is no
small meei Of additional praise that Is due
to the brave men who have 50 molly born
our dag in battle, that, when the country
seemed fallinS into the disgrace of PRE-
dominant sentiment OF encouragement and
resignation To an abasing Abandonment Of
the best Objects Of the war, they came 50
promptly to the rescue. and, BY their decisive
utterautes, announcing traitors at home,
declaring the impoSsi5Ility OF peace at pres
eat on any terms whatever, and promising
complete success in putting down the rebel.
F in ii they were sustained by the country,
awakened the people to a new eonsci usness
Il their duty Wherever the army has
spoken It's voice has been uurcs5ryedly for a
vigorous and RELENTLESS prosecution Of the
var until peace shall be conquered. |;
