The Mud Stills" of the Rebellion.

II is fact too obvious TO be questioned
that the last, 'forlorn hope" of the South
ern Rebellion, now beaten and discounted
on land and sea, and rapidly approaching its
eud, rests upon the Democratic party
of the North. JEFF Davis and his pira.ioal
stroyed, and they themselves hung or sont
into exile, will persist in their resistance, cost
what it may, until after the Presidential
election, hoping that the result may secure
for them. what they seek, but have failed
to achieve by fighting. independence and
absolute dominion over the con tinent.-
They have more at stake in the political
than in the military struggle now progress.
ing, and they watch it more nnxiously 4; for
they have learned that the North has the
power to suppress the Rebellion, while
tho determination to use that power until
the work is accomplished, is got to be put
to tho severcst test at the ballot box
Should Mr. Lincoln be reelected, their
cause would bo hopeless but, should Gen.
Mcclellan be chosen to succeed him, it
would at once revive, with brighter pros
poets than ever before. The Rebel SeDa.
tor Semmes, of Louisiana, said truly in a
recent specchs "Our hopes for an early
peace, Ia peace on the basis of Southern
independence, Of course, for Rebels talk of
no otbcr,] depend on tho success of the
Democratic party at tho approaching Pres.
idential election" Now, as the Rebols
would justly regard the success of ,bo Dem
ocratic party as insuring their own, 1t fol-
lows that fearful responsibility attaches 10
every member of that party in this crisis
1t cannot DO evaded. We, therefore, say to
evory Democrat who may read this The last
hope of the Rebellion rests in part upon
you, and il is for you and your party associ.
stes, If you dislike tho principles as much
as the name of the Copperheads, to prove
that hope a vain one. What Senator Ham.
mond, Of South Carolina, once said Of the
laboring classes in their relation to society,
is true of tho Copperheads in their relation
to the Rebellion: they are the mud sILLs
which sustain all that remains of that shat
tered and tottering fabric and, ms they are
SO unsound and rotten. it must speedily
come down. Stand out of the way, or you
will be buried in the ruins
