The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1863-09-03

We apprehend that upon the opening
of Congress we shall ascertain the purposes
for which this war is prosecuted. Which
ever party may have majority in the
House of Representatives, it is altogether
probable that there will be sufficient con-
servative strength to compel from the adj
minstration a declaration of intentions.
The press of its party is daily assuring the
country that the military strength of the
Confederacy is 50 weakened, that our con-
quest of the insurgent States is a certainty
We do not entertain any such idea, but be-
ieve the recent disasters which have over
rious a character as to convince the lead
ers of the rebellion of the impolicy of con
tinuing the war. We believe, also, the
people of the South would prefer "A return
to the Union to the losses and hazards i'm.
evitably attending the further prosecution
of the war. Their affection for the Union
is not very ardent or intense, and if per
mitted to choose between the Union and in
dependence, without any restraint being
laid upon their choice, probably four-ifths
of them would prefer separation.
They are now called upon to choose be-
tween confscation and emancipation, and
rebellion. They very mutually choose re-
bellion While only these terms are pro
posed they will continue to choose REBEL
ion. The democratic party wish to offer
them the Union or war. The administra-
tionists aver, and truly, that these have
already been offered them, and they have
chosen war. The object of war is to com
pei terms In prosecuting this war. We

publican institutions by limited monarchy.
The Union is, however now rent In twain,
and that section which, before the separa-
ton, would have had the strongest interest
in opposing the efforts of France to create
monarchy in Mexico, would now most
willingly enter with that power into bonds
of close alliance. The probability of an
alliance between the Southern States and
France has not only been spoken Of in
America, bat in Paris; and if it should
take place it will be attributable perhaps,
more than to any other cause, to the Mon
roe policy, which prohibits the Intervention
of European powers in American affairs.
The South will be compelled to dismiss all
other considerations IN presence of the par
amount one of securing its independence.
France, if threatened by the government
at Washington would gladly avail herself
of so important an ally as the infant Con-
fcderacy. At present we cannot pass out
of the field of conjecture; but it is certain
ly far from improbable that the French oc-
eupation of Mexico may lead to a more in
innate connection between France and the
Southern States, and may, in time to
come. exercise considerable influence over
the character of American institutions, al
least in the Southern portion of the North
American continent

were the case, we predicted the former

three weeks it had been published in the

the most distinguished men of the State

address the people of Rose county, in con
