Is there any other reason likely to have
the slip htest influence with the leaders
who control the traitor population? |? They
msy have q personal hatred Of the Presi
dent. Probably they do hate him. But
why /? Because they know that he is in
earoest ib his purpose of overpowering
their revolt, because they are convinced
that there is shadow Of turning or change
10 his resolve, because it is.provcd by his
acts and all his policy, because he is sup.
ported by those who are animated by the
same resolve and purpose, aud because
they know that if the people shall sus-
taiu this purpose their fate is sealed and
! their treason failure forever. They
care. nothing about Lincoln personally,
except that he Is the representative Of
the Union men Of thu North, and If his
defeat eau be secured it ia exactly the
same thing to them as positive assur-
ance that the object Of the rebellion. is
accomplished. ,,..:.,.v ...,
Aud why do they display so much
anxiety for the success, Of the two
Georges Does any Que imagine that an
earnest Southern rebel has any feeling
but supreme contempt for these candi,
dates vi their allies? The very motives,
passions aud aims which make the "chiv.
airy traitors to the Uuion, compel them
to look with utter scurn upon Northern
men who occupy the position of these
candidates. Yhe false reasoning which
induces them to call their own treason
patriotism, compels the conviction on
their minds that these Copperheads are
traitors quite Willing, not to sustain their
own States, but to sell them out for less
than "a meSs ot pottage by the ar.

cannot help despisiug men who, by their
acts aud svowed purposes, place them
selves even beneath Southern "uisger."
They dou't want Mcclellan elected,
then because they have any regard for
the man, but simply because his election
would be declaration of the people
against the further prosecution of the
war, because it would be confession on
our part that the war is q Failure" and
ought to cease, aud because a popular
declaration OF that sort at once gives then,
that ''separation aud independence" they
have sought aud still seek by such sro-
cious means and age ncies. They perceive
sh.t Mcclellan, If elected, must una.
voidably submit to their demands.
Therefore they want him elected There.

Whit + :ks lesson this shorld teach
US? Is it not chat just as much as the
rebels desire the defeat of ,r. Lincoln
should We desire and labor for his and
our success. More than this. Our ef-
forts should not be measured by our
hatred Of treason. They should be lin.
tied OIL, by the dsyotion and love we
feel for our common countsy. Our pir.
pose should not 50 n sch be to overyower
the revolt as to naintain and perpetustc

end we aim at, aud we seek to suppress

-nhat use will we have for President?
what can the North do after it is thus
