We have bad our ears RIGGING ever
since the frst gun vas frea about the
impnsslbiili'y Of subdaing and bringing
the rebels to terms. They and their allies,
the Copperheads, were ctcrnally asserting
that " You cant conquer them," They'll
die before they surrender" 'You haiu't
gaining an inch on. them, they are only
falling back for the purpose Of drawing
your army into the cotton States, and
there aunihlating it." All this was lis
tened to BY Intelligent UnioDiSts with as
much piety aud patience as could be ez-
pected, confident that the time vas not
far eff when these traitors own mouths
would condemn them. That time is at
hand Our army Instead of being gcntrapped
has marched straight through the heart
of the cct;on States and out at the other
side, without finding any annihilating
host lying in wait for them.
And now, let us compare notes, and
see how tho chiya'ry carry out their
views. The following paragraphs show
how they intended arranging matters
Prom the Savannah Republican, April 1851. /

are slumberag fires not only in Mary /
land. but in the States north Of her, that
await only an opportunity to burst forth,
