Holconbe, no Sanders, or Greedy can ring
ON peace But the uneXhausted recruiting
fields of Irelanh and Germany can, if prop
erly cultivated by the Confederate Govern
ment. That the Federal Government does
cultivate them new prove is given by ten
thousand Swiss, waiting at Havre and 9th r
European seaports for trans portation to the
United States. But what is done by our
authorities to hinder it? True, we can not
engage troops from abroad to fight our battles
and make opposition to the Yankees thereby
- but we can go among those people and
do as much to keep them at home, as our
enemies do to get them away from there.
We would perhaps get them to Texas and
other places, but certainly we can prevent
a great many from joining the enemy in his
unholy cause. But we must explain to those
people that we are fighting for the Constltu-
ton and the Republic, and that Independence
and Selfgovernmknt are the objects of the
South, while the North is establishing a
Dictatorship, soon to be f,llowsd by an alb
solue Empire. If the Swiss, if the Germans
and the Irish desire the establishment of
perpetual despotism on this continent, let
them join Old Abes warriors, manufacturers
and contractors, let them manure the soil of
Virginia, let them break the laws of civili-
sation and let them be an eternal reproach to
mankind and to their respective n~ationalitieS.
But no, the free Swiss has no desire to be
the destructor Of republican institutions, the
impulsive Irish always is on the side of the
oppressed and naturally on the side of justice
- and the noble Germans has more intense
love for independence than anybody else,-
and therefore this trio is by heart, feeling
and conscience on the Confederate side. But
unfortunately the name Of the Washington
Government, its hallowed constitution and
history, the memory of the men that fought
and died for the same. the 80 years dream
that the United States were the home and
asylum of the down-trodden nations,-- COM
bined with the prejudices against slavery
aid the more numerous family and CONNER
clal relations which exist between the North
and Europe, the desire to keep the protective
Republic OF refugees and emigrants a strong
power, but finally the c~unninghess, the lying
and the money of Stewards agents-all these
things combined give untold advantages to
our adversaries, which they follow up with
great steadyness and endurance. At the
same time the Northern Congress and leaders
offer all kinds of assistance and facilities to
the emigrant-land, money, citizenship, kind
treatment, everything is freely offered to
them, and if some paper speaks abusive of
them, others come freely up to take their
part and defend them against any insipiency,
which may be brought against them.
Under such circumstance the task oc our
Government is heavily burdened, but it is
not burdened with impossibilities it is only
4 heavy task for a clear sighted mind. When
we went in for this war, all those troubles
were before us, - now we have to confront
them earnestly or give up. The question
with US is not, how long can we keep the
enemyin check to wear him out, the question
is how quick can we nave peace and indie
p~endence?
The limitation of the enemy to his own
country for recruiting will terminate this
war very soon. Great, very great efforts
should therefore be made by our Secretary
OF State to counteract the industry of the
Secretary on the other side.
Gen. Lee is a great General, but, NAV VIC
