NEVER GIVE 1T lip.

II such dcplorablc state Of affairs ell
sues, that our beloved country is to be di-
vidcd, the Union dissolved, it can only be
brought about by the traitors Of our own
housellold-nen at the North conniyine
and acting with the South in its efforts to
disrupt the Government
In the infancy Of our Republic, when
our population did not exceed three MIL
lions, and with an exhausted exclcquer,
through seven long years Of untold misery
our ancestors defended with "their lives,
their fortunes, and their sacred honors,"
the principles Of q Republican Govern
mcnt, which has since conferred so much
happiness upon their descendants. With
this patrlmony enlarged many fold in area
and population By more than thirty mill
lions, and with ample means at command,
shall NE permit a smnll f:.ction to separate
themselves, and rear the standard Of rebel
lion successfully in our midst? 1sobblng
Us Of the faircst portion Of our heritage,
sarpins the foundation Of our property,
and sowing broadcast ;n.'ng US an endless
source Of litigation and ani1nosity, that
must again even:uate in blcodshed?
No, our treasury is exhaustless; it is self
renewing. We have the resources
to continue The war indefinitely; PATROLS
will s1,b,ui! TO any tax any prlyation, any
suffering. but they never can listen, with
uublusling check, to terms Of concession
and peace, when the sacrifice is-their
country. They have already shown, by
rushing in thousands and tens ofthousands,
10 the contest, and braving death in every
shape, that country is dcarer to them than
life; and hundreds Of thousands yet re-
main, who are willing to lay their lives
upon the altar Of their country before they
will submit their nccks to the CALLING yoke
Of a pursc-proud. aristocratic faction, built
up on tic ruins Of the best government
ever instituted among men.
-four Government, from its first organi-
zation amid the wilds Of new country, in
its prcgzcssth through feeble infancy to manly
growth, and place in the front rank
among the Cl,istianizcd nations Of the
earth, has been favored Of God-as is
claimed for it-think ye, Jehovah will
will withdraw His lace from us! That He
will now shake Us of, when We are striving
to rid ourselves Of the curse that Ia:
brought NIL these troubles upon us? And
not only so, but that He will favor thos
who are seeking TO perpetuate the curse, t
make it, indeed, the corner stone Of thei
Government? No, no. &c will yet rails
up leaders for us, as He did for our sire:
who will carry us safely through on
trouble.
Military misca11iages have occurred, an
they must occur; they are necessary to ou
military growth; they are necessary t
humble us-to bring outthe strength Of til
nation, to develop its resources and
show the world that the "great expcr
ment" is q success. Let no loyal MAJ
