To be saved from demagogues is one
of the prayers which the people of the
United States will hereafter put up every
day. To be saved from ward commit
tees and cross-road politicians; to be
saved from candidates for Congress and
the Legislature; to be saved from can
didates for Office of any kind, will be
their unceasing supplication. To be
mercifully let alone; never to see pa
triot; never to be complimented on their
intelligence and virtue; never to feel
that the simplicity of their understand
jngs is to be made game of by place
hunters. This they will devoutly ask,
and, come all other calamities, they will
endeavor to submit, if this calamity can
be avoided.
All monarchs have their yicissitudes
and misfortunes; but none of them all
not Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal, nor
Napoleon,-ever came to such days Of
humiliation as King People. Only q
few years ago, and he sat upon his throne,
surrounded by courtiers who prostrated
themselves to the earth at his feet, con-
sidered it privilege to black his boots
and powder his wig, declared that he
was the most virtuous and intelligent Of
the sons Of men, that the king could do
no wrong, and that his voice was the
voice Of god. He was clothed in pur-
pie and flnc linen, and held royal
sceptre in his hand, aud had more pa
tronage in his gift than any king Of Eu-
rope, and permitted no man to tell him
the truth, o., # hs did, dismissed him
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1865-02-28

from his service, and lived . most jolly
and satisfied life, thoroughly convinced
that though other kings had come to
grief there should be no end to the do
minion Of King People. And now, alas,
poor soul, he is eating grass, like Nebu-
chadnezzar; asking himself for pass,
like . negro slave; dressed in an old blue
coat, dodging from conscript officers, and
as dropping and disconsolate as chanti-
cleer in hail storm so helpless, for
lorn and miserable that there are "none
so poor as do him reverence"
If ever this deposed and unfortunate
monarch be restored again to authority,
he Will be q sadder but wiser man.
He Will eschew the batteries Of. courtiers,
and esteem that man his best friend who
induces him to put checks and balances
upon his own authority. He will turn
an evil eye upon fanatics and dema-
gogues, and when they prate to him of
his infallible virtue and intelligence, will
hold up to them the bloody record of this
war, and scourge them from his presence.

REMARK OF MR.. COLLIER. IN
THE VIRGINIA SENATE

Al
THE VIRGINIA SENA TE.
The following are the remarks made
by Mr.. Collier, in the Senate, on Satur-
day, in support Of his resolution inserted
in the Dispatch on Friday:
Mr.. President: A discussion of the
resolution might properly include the
whole conduct of the Confederate civil
administration and the operations of
the army. The civil administration has
been so signal failure, and is so dead
in the popular affection, that l shRll for
bear to drag the lifeless Hector around
the walls Of our Troy. The chief cha
racteristic of that administration is, that
it has separated the Government from
the people, and has made more vigorous
and effective war on the resources of tho
country than it has made on the public
enemy. do not believe that such was
the design Of the men in authority. /
do not doubt their patriotism or earnest
desire to succeed. Such has been the
effect of the public measures, to the de-
plorable extent seen in the wellknown
fact that in this agricultural country-one
of the richest on earth-the production
of provisions is so reduced that the pub
lie sentiment, most conspicuously, is .
painful anxiety for continued subsist-
ence. The atrocious sentimtut expressed
in the African Church by Hon. Judah
P. Benjamin, that the people have no
rights, and oil belong to the Govern
ment is the exact exponent of the ad-
ministrative policy which has alienAted
the people from the Government That
other idea, expressed at the same time
by President Davis, that Richmond
might be captured and yet no remediless
i'll ensue to our cause, is another phos-
phorescent emanation from passionate
imbecility which Tan hoat and flare ousy
in tho socket Of disordered imagina"
ton; and such detnsiss light ought to
be put out. On the declared policy that
we desired only to be let alone, and from
fear Of rousing the enemy. President
Davis declined going. to Washington
when our army was flushed with vic~
tory and the enemy were. routed. Al.
terwards. when the balances 10 the
chances Of war were hanging in equl-
poise, and : peace party, to II appear

SPIRIT OF THE ARMY

The resolutions which have been
passed by the various regiments of the
Confederate army, and which they have
published to the world, ring like inspi-
ring trumpet tones on tho air. Wherever
else the paralyzing suggestions of de-
spondency and doubt are heard, they
cannot affect the iron nerves of those
heroes who have borne the brunt of this
war; who have endured the winters
frosts and the summers heat; who have
slept on the bare ground, have lived on
the coarsest food, marched weary miles
in bare feet, poured out their blood like
summer rain, and stood like a living wall
between their country and its enemies.
These are the men who send forth words
of hope and cheer and high resolve,
and whose heroic souls, like the 1Eo.
liam. harp, give forth stronger strains as
the tempest increases. Whatever others
may dream, subjugation is word which
is not found in their vocabulary, and
which it would not be safe for friend or
foe to utter in their presence. They
proclaim their fixed and Interchangeable
determination to conquer or die; and it
is the army which is the country. They
have no thought Of permitting all their
labors, privations, perils, to 60 for naught,
nor of suffering the blood Of their fallen
comrades to cry in vain from the ground.
Whatever others may do, the heroes of
the Confederacy neither intend nor de-
sire to survive their country. They love
her, and they believe in her also; their
faith and hope are equal to their valor
and devotion, and their trust in God is
firm and unwavering. Noble men!-
The world has never seen their like.
