De Bows Letter.

No Southern publication did so much as De
Bows ReU'eto to prepare the South for seces-
sion. 1t never identified itself with any poiti-
cal party, or committed itself directly to the
scheme OF Southern Contederacy, until the
politicians had already practically set it on foot.
1t did its work by enforcing with great ability
and perSistency what it held to be two great
necessities OF the South, namely: the slavery
OF the black race, and the commercial indepen-
dence OF the North. These once being estab-
!lshed In the Southern mind as vital essentials.
II ulu not cost the demagOgues very much ef-
tort to preclpltate the people into secession as
the way OF securing them forever.
The brief letter of Mr.. De Bow. nuhl;sbad
In South Carolina paper, is a verv favorable
token OF the progress of sound opinion and
right purpose IN the South. He RECOGNIZES
the issues OF the past as dead, trusts that the
south Will courageously accept the duties of
the present situation, and expresses confidence
tnat II this Is done, in a few years all traces
n 0I the recent calamitOus times will be erased !"
Inc old politicians Of the South. since the
OreaK'd down OF the rebellion, have generally

Speech of Gen. sherman.

The testimony OfTecumsch Sherman-as the
brave general who marched at the head of his
splendid hosts from Atlanta to Savannah, and
from Savannah through the Carolinas to Colds
borough, has sometimes been designated-has
been quoted with rare JUNCTION on several occa-
Slons by the men who call themselves Demo-
Gratis has, in fact, been elevated by them into
something OF smypathizer with their plans
and principles; and notwithstanding he refused
to allow them to make him candidate for
Governer of Ohio, and even went ont Of the
way to decline all political offices, he continues
to be a kind ola standard reference They will
not object therefore, to the following striking
points, contained IN short speech recently
made by General Sherman at a soldiers festi
val, near Lancaster, Ohio:
w hen the rebels ventured their all in their
efforts to destroy our Government they pledg-
ed their lives; their fortunes and their sacred
honors to their cause. The Government ac-
cepted their wager of battle Hence, when we
conquered, we, by right of conquest, gained
all they had-their property became ours by
conquest. Thus they lost their slaves, their
mules, their horses, their cotton their all, and
even their lives and personal liberty, thrown
iDy them into the issue, were theirs only
by our forbearance and clemency. By this
right of conquest we own this ground we stand
on to-day, conquered from the Indians-the
Shawnees, | believe.
The State of Ohio is ours by conquest from
the French and English.
SO, soldiers, when we marched through and
conquered the country of the rebels, we be-
came the owners of all they had, and | do not
want you to be troubled i'll your consciences
for taking, while on our great march, the prop
erty of conquered rebels. They forfeited their
rights to it, and |, being agent for the Govern.
rlent to which | belonged, gave you AUTHORITY
to keep all the quartermasters could not take
possession Of or all that they did not rnnt ~ 81,
