Whether With or without design, the
opponents of the Administration in the
North are the most effectual allies of the
rebels in arms The division Of the North
is the main dependence Of the traitors Of
the South, and their strong argsuent for
foreign interference in their favor.
So important to their cause do the reb-
els regard the success of the Northern
Democracy, that the Richmond Examiner
urges Lee to make military movement
IN aid of :heir political campaign in Penn
sylvania and Ohio. And Lieutenant
Maury writing to England tells bis friends
there that the recent disaster. to the Con-
'ederate cause will be more than atoned
Tor by the successesof their frien DIS in the
approaching elections and the serious OBJ
.tructiops which they will cause the war
measures of the Federal Government.
It Is very clear that every Democratic
success at the polls in the North, inspiri,s
the rebels in the Sjuth, and every defeat
of our arms in the South improves the
chances and encourages the hopes Of the
Copperheads
1t is difficult to estimate the value of
the Copperhcad alliance to the Southern
cause. The opposition to the draft, the
obstructi0ns thrown in the way Of the
Governmentin the prosecution of the vsr.
demand great deal Of the attention oil
the Government, delays It's movements
and diminishes the effective force of the
army in the field.
Take for instance the recent defeat Of
Rosecrans, and We hazard nothing in as
,eriing that il never could have been com.
passed BY the Confederates but for the aid
rendered by their Northern allies. Thei,
opposition to the draft has delayed it, an ,
diminished the number OF troops put in
the field. Bot more and worse than that.
the active opposition to the draft re-
suting in the terrible mob in New York
and the threatened civil war in the
North, has drawn nearly fifty thousand
troops from the field to garrison New
York and other Copperhesd strongholds,
till the draft was completed. In the
meantime the Southern armies were
concentrated on Rosecrans and defeated
him.
Thus Northern Copperheads weaken ed
our army and enabled Bragg to defeat
Roeecraus, while Bragg helps his north
ern allies by killing great number OF
soldiers who would have cast their votes
against Vallandigham.
But, at all events, it is perfectly clear
that the defeat Of Rosecrans is fairI,
chargeable to the distractions thrown in
the way OF the Government BY the oppo-
siticn Of Northern Copperheads. and they
are justly responsible for our defeat, and
for the blood of the patriots slain on thai
fatal field
