HA-"The course pursued by the +, d
cral Administration and the Federal Con
gross, is u cause for intense rejoicing
among the rebels. - Muscotine Courier
The above is the first sentence Of a,
editorial of near two columns in the las
Courier and is but sample Of the Who'll,
article. Does any one suppose that the
Courier believes the above statement
Not for a moment. The only proof il
attempts to give is extracts from rebe
papers that misrcpresent our governments
and thus try to keep the southern people
together in their rebellion.
Perhaps some of the readers of the
Courier may believe its statements. II
so wo hope they will read tho recent
"address of the rebel congress to the
people of the South" The address is
very much like the editorials Of the
Courier except that it is written with
more ability, and VIC look to see it pub
lished in that paper as an editorial, if it
is published all. 1t will be found in an
other column Of this paper. From it
you can learn some of the hopes and de-
sres of the rebels. The rebels are anx-
ious for peace and so are the copperheads.
At the commencement of the fight the
rebels cried out eve only ask to be let
alone" and the cops sent back the cry
of ono coercion" and their cries have
been very similar ever since. The cops
are for "peacc at any price, and the
rebel address says: awe can only repeat
"the desire of the people for peace, AMI
sour readiness to accept terms consistent
"with the honor, ard integrity and in
dependence O: the States and compat.
"ble with the safety of our domestic in.
g. stitutions." What "tcrms" would be
considered "consistcnt with the honor
of rebels we do not know, but it will be
seen that they insist on the "intcgrity
and independence of the States" (Con-
federate States SO calledO. We have
tried to ascertain whether our northern
"peace men, wero willing to recognize
the "intcgrity and independence of the
Confederate States" but they are not
disposed to enlighten Us on that subject. /
The rebel address shows that the rebels
have friends at the North from whom
they expect great favors. After speak
ing about those here who oppose The
Administration, it says: "The success Of
" these men over the radical and dcspotic
" faction which now rules the North,
may open the way to peaceful negotia-
" tlops and u cessation Of this bloody and
unnecessary war" The rebels and
their abettors very well know that but
one thing is or ever has been necessary
to cause ga cessation of this bloody and
unnecessary war; and that is for them
to cease to be rebels and recognize the
Federal Government
The course pursued by the Federal
Administration is one that is not pleasing
to either coppcrLcads or rebels. Why /
1t Is that these two classes sympathisc SO
perfectly, We vii! not undertake to say,
but true it is, that anything done by the
Administration that is displeasing to the
rebels is equally so to the cops, as for in
stance the removal of Major Anderson to
Fort Sumter, the employment OF negroes
as soldiers, and the emancipation procla
nation. What is true of acts is equally
true of men, as you will find both classes
dcnouncing Gems Butler, Fremont, ST.
gel, Banks, Gilmore, and the like, and
both praise Mcclellan, Fitz John Porter
and their like, and have but little to say
against Benedict Arnold or Judas Iscar-
lot. How do you account for this SYM
pathy between rebs and cops?
eas" The New York Legislature has
passed resolutions for amending the Con.
stltution of that State, and the people
are to vote on the proposed change next
Tuesday. We arc not surprised to find,
as we do, the Day Book and other pa
pers of the copperhead class opposed to
the amendment. fla man will volunteer
to fight the battles of his country he .
should from that moment (says the Day /
Booh) lose the right to voice in select ,
