Bsy The Confederate States Congress
met on the 1lb inst. The message Of
President Davis claims that the military
situation Of the Confederacy is cheerful
and hopeful beyond any former period.
lie is opposed to conscripting negroes for
soldiers at this time; says The white peo-
OF the South are quite able to do the
fighting; that negroes can be used for
camp duties thus relieving white soldiers;
that it will be time enough to think of
making soldiers of negroes when The ad-
verse fortunes OF war shall require resort
to this reserve force tha. that time has
not yet come, &c.
The present rebel Congress will make n
strenuous effort TO conscript an army OF
two or three hundred thousand slaves, the
slaves TO have their freedom and fifty acres
of land at the end Of the war. Isthis one
OF the plans of getting rid of slavery that
Mr. Seward approves? lfslavery is thus
abolished by the South itself, in their war
for independence, will Mr.. Seward also
clai m that the war is Success" on our
part? If the destruction of slavery isthe
only purpose, OF course he must. The
rallying cry of the Democracy in the late
contest was 'the Union at all hazards"
that of the Abolitioni'ts, "the desiruc-
tion of slavery at all hazaids;" SO that
the Abolitionisis are in a fair way to be
gratitied and when the Confederacy shall
have gained its independence, formed
treaties Of alliance and commerce with
Great Britain and France, and swept our
commerce from the sea, if slavery is only
abolished Mr.. Seward can point to that
single fact and say twas not the war
most splendid SUGGEST"

THAT's So.-ln abiding to the meetings
held by the AholitiOnisis of this county
the week preceding the late election, tho
JacoJin organ says, the speeches were al
that could be desired" This sentiment
will be endorsed By every Democrat in the
county, If we are to judge by their eg-
focss they were most certainly all that
could be desired" for, in looking over the
returns We find that the heav lest Demo
cratic gains were in those very districts
where these happy and forcible" speech
es were so "well received"
We are told that Hawes' and Galloway s
speeches at Osceola did much good" In
proof whereof we find that Decatur town
ship-a township that gave Republican
majority Of 81 in 1860, and of 10 in 1862 -
gives So majority fop Mcclellan, gain OF
l2 over the October election that Becca-
ria township which gave Curtin a ma jor-
ity of so in lS63-now gives Lincoln but
Z; that Lumber City,-which gave Re-
publican majority Of l in October-now
gives Mcclellan FIVE. Truly their speech
es did much good"
The "happy and forcible" speeches
were delivered by Messrs. McEnally and
Fulford in Karthaus and Girard town
ships, producing Democratic gain of 3 in
the former and II in the latter-which
was our largest pro rata gain in the county.
If these gentlemen had spread them
selves week or two sooner, so that they
could have been heard by every voter in
the country" there is no telling whore
our majority would have stopped.
If the Democratic County Committee is
wise. they will employ these gentlemen in
the next campaign. No matter at what
cost.
