There Is a great deal more in this strain,
which is peculiar to baby selling chiV-
alry-a strain in which jefferson Davis
showed himself an accomplished adept
when he called bis fellow citizens against
whom hehas drawn the sword "hyenas."
But such articles show, what is not suf-
ficiently apprehended by ourselves, the
moral value of the maintenance of the Adj
ministration Contemporary with this Adj
ministration, the war for the Union is
necessarily identified with it. The rebels
and their friends the Copperhesds have
constantly denounced it as "Lincoln's war;"
while our own foreign friends and enemies
have always regarded the President as the
accepted exponent of the war. The rebels
undoubtly5 mean, therefore, to show brave
front until after the election. They know
if, by holding on, they can only fatigue or
dishearten loyal men to the point of declar-
ing that they must have change merely
for the sake of change, that the defeat of
Mr.. Lincoln will be accepted by their own
population as q sign of desire to compro-
mise and yield, while 1t will be understood
by foreign powers in the same way, and
assure them that the hour has come for
successful mediation, recognition, or inter-
ference.
The one thing which, under the circum-
stances, would be the most valuable to the
rebels is the defeat of Mr.. Lincoln; while,
on the other hand, his reelection would be
the most shatteriRg blow to them. For 1t
would say plainly to the whole world that
the loyal people of the United States, while
they differed upon many points of policy,
were heartily agreed upon the one great
essential aim of the maintenance of the
Union by anna against all who by arms
seek its overthrow; that failures of many
kinds were iuseparable from all human en-
terprises: that, as they had begun, they
meant to finish; and that while there were
many faithful and devoted patriots in their
ranks, there was no one more faithful or
more devoted than the President, who had
borne so patiently the heat and burden OF
the day. Any change whatever shows
some kind of dissatisfaction with the war
and its policy. But the re. election of the
President reveals grim and impreguable
resolution, the earnest of absolute victory.

From Harper's Weekly.
TO UNION MEN.


The rebel papers, considering that they
are printed in what they call another coun.
try are curiously interested in the political
movements Of this country. They print long
columns of anxious speculation, and then
assure US that they have no shadow of in
terest 10 the matter, and that their con.
tempt for us aud our affairs exceeds ex-
preston. A recent performance of this
kind in the Richmond Examiner is pscu.
liarly amusing. 1t thinks it sees signs
that the Administration is to be defeated,
and it cannot conceal its joy. Its ribaldry
is as remarkable as in the days that fol-
lowed Sumter, when it was full of fervid
longings that the Yankees would only
come down and be soundly logged by the
slaves, since Southern gentlemen disdained
the dirty business of whipping them with
their own hands. Since then, however, at
Vicksburg, at New Orleans. at Gettysburg,
and in Virginia and Georgia, the Southern
gentlemen were not disinclined to try their
hands; and It is a curious aud interesting
fact that they have whipped the Yankees
all the way from Gettysburg to Petersburg,
and from the Ohio to Atlanta, and will
probably not be satisfied until they have
whipped the scoundrels into tie Gulf.
The Richmond EEaniaer says with SOL
emn exultation, in words that are the lust
indication of the dignity of the rebel cause
and the honorable spirit in which it is con-
Quoted: "The obscene ape of Illinois is
about to be deposed from the Washington
pprple....,....He was in the eyes of all
mankind an unanswerable argument for
our session; he stood there living justi.
fcstionI seven feet high. of the steadfast
resolution of these States to hold no more
POLITICAL union with a race capable not
only of producing such being, but of
making 1t ruler and king"
