THE NORTH DESPERATE.
From the Richmond Wing, Feb. %. ]

Audacty is at present the desperate policy,
political and military of the tottering Lincoln
dynasty. Boldness intrepidity and fearessness
do characterize il than impudence,
efIrontery and presumptuousness. The motto OF
Danton to Dare" is attempted to be praciced
to avert his fate, the guilotne In the political
programme Of the Abolitonists they seem to
calculate largely not only OH the utter helpless
ness of all domestic adversaries. but upon
utterly debased state of the public mind at the
North
This is most strongly illustrated by the decla
ration that loyal suffrage in dsloyal States, one
tenth that of 1860, can remodel, under certain
provisions, their Constitutions, and restore them

may be no sensibility left among the Northern
masses on the subject of political and personal
rights, the theories of government.
The laNless. tyrannical and runous actions of
their Government may sometimes be talked of,
lamented and even protested against But there
seems 20 be no apprehension that these actions
may meet with general condemnation, or want of
practical support, of their being defeated bv
any popular upturning or revolution by force

their military operations BOunties are lavisnly

vances Wanting the most wonderful accom-
plishments, far surprising the uphill march of
the Duke of York with his twice ten thousand
men, both in their temerity and want OF perform

and re assure the Northern masses.
But reaction we regard as by no means hope
