JEFF DAVIS.
r- 1t 10 amusing 10 see the de7ces Of the Demo-
Gratis, who have been making such vigorous eff,
forts TO cripple the Administration and break
down the military power Of the Gr7erament to
explain away the popular reaction against their
1pernicious and disloyal doctrines. They discoy-
-er unmistahablo evidence that the people of the
North have ut present no purpose of abandon
aing any administration, he it Republican or
Democratic, to the tender mercies of jeff Da-
wis, and they arc now making themselves very
busy in accounting for it. Ard they have al
last made the very brilliant discovery that it all
comes from belief on the part Of the people
that the Administration has Abandoned It's
emancipation policy and has returned to the
Democratic method Of 50 i5htjng treason as
not to hurt ,laycrv.
Ii the papers who pretend to find the cause
'of this uprising CT The people in any changed
policy OF tue Governments we're really honest in
'theis statements, il would hardly be worth while
to disturb them, OF anybody who might be de-
iuded BY their teachings by any alluson to the
Facts as they actually exist. But inasmuch as
1T as apparent thai these papers are oaly thus
cunningly endeavoring to raise expectations OF
change Of policy in the conduct of the war,
Tor tue sole purpose, by ANA by, Of as.ailng
the Administration more bitterly than ever for
not having changed its policy, we deem it worth
while to expose the cheat The Government is
not changing it's policy, and is not DESTROYS Of
'osSainlug support by falge pretences, and this
Aass osvlco OF the enemy should not be allowed
TO deceive anybody, either Republicans or Dem-
ocrats

most unfortunately mistaken policy, every pre- Il
= caution seemed to be taken to prevent slavery 81
from receiving any damage in the progress OF a.

wrought to zee that it must look ct slavery as it II
dad at every other ally Of treason, and must deal il
w4Gh 1t as the military necessities Of the situa
