hope Of success depends upon two coz
tingencies-European Intervention and
the success Of the Copperheads. The
Richmond Whtg admits this in direct
terms. Il says foreign Intervention or
determined and successful opposition
by the Conservative masses Of the North
10 the Abolition faction which has con-
troll Of the Government at Washington
alone can bring the var to close. For
eign recognition then or the success Of
the Copperbeads in the elections, are all
that the rebels depend upon for success
While the rebels admit they have only
two chances for success, il must be APP
parent 70 every intelligent citizen Of the
loyal States that the tao chances are
rapidly resolving themselves into bat
one The possibility Of foreign inter.
yention depends entirely upon the una
nimity Of the citizens Of the loyal States
in supporting their government Let
the various State governments pass into
the hands Of those who are opposed 10
the war and do not deny their sympathy
with the States in Rebellion, aud al
viii readily coneede that European gov
ernments would no longer hesitate to act
in accordance With desires they have
long cherished. bat have hitherto been
afraid to crafty. Earopeau.intervention,
then, depends solely upon the defeat at
the polls Of the Copperhead organiza-
ton; and upon that. too, depends the
success Of the Union cause and the per-
pctuation Of the government
Oar brave boys in the army have done
their part Cheerfully they left the com
forts and pleasures Of home to endure
the iatigueing march, aud the disease
and exposure Of camp life. Heroieally
have they maintained the suprt macy Of
the national dag upon hundred battle
fields. sweetly have they laid down
their lives in defense Of the institutions
and government Of their fnhers at is
swee, for one s country TO die, says the
Roman Proverb. Duiee est pro pafria
MORT We repeat, our noble boys have
done their part They have so crushed
and scattered the rebel armies: have so

agricultural resources, that rebel news
RnIges aepddd-fot success upon the skin
Of their leaders or the bravery OF their
soldiers, but eoolly base the hopes Of the
COnfederaey upon the treason of the
friends and relatisss Of oar soldiers
'ehO hare remained at home Can any
thing be more shocking3 Had the rebels
no hope they would cease 10 fight and
our boys could come home. Absolute
despair strikes no blows even in lis own
defense. One by one the pleasing an
tlcipations Of the rebels have disappeared
amid the smoke Of battle until now they
rely upon n single plank--the success Of
the so.called democratic party. That or
ganization defeated at the polls, despair
takes possession Of the rebellion aud Il
dies the death of treason. Whoever.
therefore, directly or Indirectly, contrib
utes to the success Of that party, posi-.
lively encourages the rebels, prolongs the
war, and sacrifices the lives OF thousands
of brave men Acting with, or in any
way aiding the democratic organization,

States, is stabbiag our soldiers ia :As

Such being the position of affairs,
