Thus appear, in brief, our prospects, our
principles and our candidates Al this cul-
minating period Of q momentous political
campaign. As election day approaches,
assurances OF success accumulate upon
ue. The tide OF battle and the popular cur
rent tend in the same direction. We can
not but believe that the men aud the cause
will receive the appreciation OF The Amer
lean people at the ballot-box.
The lessons taught by our soldiers have
hushed Southern bravado. The tone Of de-
fanc9 which so long chara cteriZed the Zee
bells have given place TO chop-failen des.
pondency. Jefferson Davis, in his lamen-
tations over his skeleton army, its ranks
thinned by desertions, and its commissa-
ria: IMPOVERISHED 10 consequence OF gen.
eral restitution, loses al seifcontrol, and
gives expression to imbecile nowliDgs.-I
The Richmond press, the supply Of old
and young white men to fl the depleted
ranks OF the army, being exhausted. vo-
ciferouslv demand that the slaves be,rAns-
formed into soldiers. To such q humiiia-
ting and jast extremity has = vAun:ed
a-is.olracy been reduced Nv the energy Of
/. free people. The loyal American may
well contemplate the picture with pride
lnd hope. He feels tina. the enemies OF
free institutions, within the national do
main, are now sustained n their wicked
ness only by mad desperation, but are
soon 70 yield, exhausted and overwhelmed
with shame. A hope Of q Union defeat at
the ballot-box alone keeps alive the contest
against fate. The baseless rebel Conseder-
acy is now so,:ering beneath its own cor
ruption. Fellow. citizens, shall the blow
aimed oy an Indignant; people, At this
mockery upor government, fail Of w1eak-
ing full vengeance? Ne believe we DO not
miscalcula:e when we predict the accom-
1plishment OF the object through u majority
