Mr.. SAMUEL PEARcE, ir., Who visited
America and has received the hospitali
ty Of American citizens, al once, on the
publication of the news of the destruc
ton Of the Alabama, sent 10 the Lon.
don Daily News a letter congratulating
the people of the United States, and
bearing witness to the kindness he had
received during his stay here, even at
the hands of those who had suffered from
the depredations of the pirates. The
same gentleman, in a private business
letter to a prominent house in New
York, writes as follows

Rebel S. mpatiiiZcrs In 3lar,iand.

During our stay At Magnolia We no
ticcd that large number of citizens
from the surrounding farmhopses were
laughing, chatting and iraternizing with
the rebel troops Their conduct may
have been dictated by policy. and !
should be sorry to impute it to any other
motive. On the authority, however, of
Mr.. H. 4. Greenfield, agent of the Bal
timore and Philadelphia Railroad, il IS
stated that they associated on so friend
ly a footing with our oaptoYs, mot that
they loved the Union les. bat the Con
tederacy more. Among these sympa-
thizers were Il noted lawyer. several
medical men, ana other residents Of the
place. These persons are, | am inform
ed, ali residents Of that part Of the
country, and their behavior towards the
rebels was certainly very 1eprehensi-
b!e-N J! HroH Cor.
We are inclined to think that these
double dealing rebels are not alone cen
fined to Maryland. There are plenty
of them here; plenty of men who pre-.
tend to be for the Union, yet rejoice at
every rebel success. These men need
watching.

By sudden dash vas not deemed I'M.
possible
Such must have been again the cogi-
tations of the rebel chiet-preliminar
to this last attempt at the invasion of
the loyal States, and we may add to-
them the obvious consideration that,
pent up in Richmond and Vicinity with
nothing practicable to be done in front,
it was highly polite to employ every
soldier who could be spared from de-
fensive operations in active hostilities
against the enemy rear. The raiders
have succeeded in destroying or appro-
priatirg large amount OF property,
and if they make their way back with
their booty, they will have much cause
of eongratulation by their friends, but
they have at the same time, although
they should escape, done an important
service to the Government, which they
are endeavoring TO overthrow
They have rallied the loyal people
once more to its support as no appeal
from the authorities could have done,
and they have thus made easy the 9TH
erwise difficult task of recruiting the
army to the extent which was deemed
necessary. The whole country will
now be convinced of the Importance of
placing at the command OF the Govern
ment force sufficient to defend Wash
ington and the north without weaken
ing the armies engaged in assailing the
rebel stronghold

Kentucky Democracy.

declares that the" Democrats Of that
State will support for President no 9th

man-will not even take MCCLELLAN

vember They are willing to support
Vallandigham or Thomas H. Seymour
for the Presidency, and they will not
vote for any man who is not for peace,
if needs be based on the recognition of
the independence of the southern
States. This may sound like treason to
that delectable institution known as
the Union League, but such are the
principles of the Democracy of this
State
We presume the true ideal Of the
Peace party would be JEFFERSON DAYS;
and if they had any hope of electing
him, he would be nominated at Chica-
go. As things are, one of his tools will
be the candidate.

The Political Prospective luty OF
Union Men,

1t is not necessary, at this time, fol
politicians TO manufacture" political
'crisis ); the fact that one exists, is pa
tent to the dullest intellect. Within
the next few years, the fate of the ma
ton forever, and of liberal institutions
for century or two, will have been
decided Therefore the action Of the
people, at the approaching election, is a
matter of the highest Importance
Manipulate things as one will, it can
not be disguised that the great issue to
be decided by the next Presidential
election is; Shall the Union be pre-
served, or shall the independence of the
rebels be acknowledged There are
doubtless patriotic opponents of the
present Administration but they are
few, and have not the remotest chance
of success at the polls. There will be
but two candidates for the Presidency
who will receive any more than a NOM
inal support; they are LINCOLN, and the
nominee of the Chicago Convention,
who will be an unconditional peace
man. No other man, than one OF these,

ballot cast for Fremont, or any outside
candidate will be thrown away.

open rebel sympathizer. There is no
middle ground-the situation viii ad
NIT of no temporizing.
We have no doubt of the result of
the election. The postponement of the
Chicago Convention was an admission,
on the part of the managers, that there
was no prospect of success; it was, in
reality, yielding up the race; was a
proclamation 10 the world that LINCOLN
and JOHNSON were certain Of success.
We doubt if anyone has the 'hardi-
hood even 10 say that there is the
slightest prospect Of the election Of the
Copperhead nominees; and certainly
should such a one be found, he would .
find it difficult to conceal his hypocrisy
