The very plain question now before the
country is, shall the affairs of the country
be administered by the rebels who are as
hostile now to the Union as they have been
for the last five years, or by the Loyal men
of the country who have made so many
sacrifices to preserve the Union. There is
no half way about it. This is the very
simple and plain question to be decided at
NE approaching elections. ..-
DO the men who have stood by the coun-
try through the war comprehend this? If
they Do not It's time they should, for there

The real difficulty, we apprehend, if diff
