Had we all realized these tFutnS 1Au
aided, a. we ought to have done, in keep
ing up our superiority Of force, perhaps
the measure of our success would have
been greater and more manifest than al
present. But as matters are we have nc
cause Of complaint. And We shall have
none in the future If we only do our duty
but indiferently well. We have the Re.
bellion by the throat. All we have to dc
il to maintain our hold until it dies of ex-
haustion. We must not permit occasional
scratches from the rebel claws to induce ua
to to lose our grippe upon it. Transient
raids, the mere convulsive efforts Of the
dying vol, should not distract rs. Let u
keep up the army, enable it to hold fas,
what it has and keep striking, and the
death throes Of the revolt will be witnessed
much sooner than many anticipate. That's
what we have to do. We can destroy the
rebel armies at Richmond and at Atlanta
if we will. And it is infinitely better to do
it exactly there than anywhere else. Let
enough men 60 forward to make the end
sure. That is our business, our duty. II
Grant or Sherman fail, it is not their fault,
but ours.
aWe would be glad If some one would
collate all the pet afixes Of the immacu-
late and Interchangeable Democracy. They
would make fine commentary upon it,
astounding mutations. In these days some
Of them are wonderfully fond Of theword
"Conservative.' They are democratic
conservatives now. We remember time
when the word Conservative was a.
hateful to them - '.Abolitionist." Then
they talked about manifest Destiny and
were exceedingly anxious to .'coerce'' all
creation into the Union and keep 1t there.
They had no scruples at that time about
the rights OF the Union not only to control
the people within, but AZ many ~ they
chose without. If the voice ofthese ''dem-
ocratic conservatives now has..any mean
ing, il il exactly the opposite Of what used
to b Democracy. They now tell u that
it il wrong to use the power Of the Union
to save the Union or to punish traitors!-
They don't propose to CONSERVE" the
Union,-not they. Their only solicitude
IL to conserve the traitors. That Is -
near a. we can come TO the purpose OF
those who call themselves Democratic
Conservatives.' It is quite natural that
they should assume the title. They are
just - sound Conservatives as they are
Democrats, and a. little Of either as any
rebel in "Dixie.''
