The Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1865-1870, 1868-08-16

IF we are SutttSSIut TIE approaching
contest, we shall regain all that we lost in
the Lost Cause. We shall be freemen once
more. We shall have a country Mobile
Tribune.
The above is but the burden of the
song sung by Seymour and Blair's sup
porters at the South. Every body knows
what such talk means-it means that
with the triumph of the Democracy the
State Right cause of tn" South will be
rs valid and as vital as ever ii was Its
debts being repudiated, while its old
slave holders lands are still all their
own tue Success Of its experiment
merely deferred, while the animus
which prompted the secession movemen Il,
is as much alive as ever, what SPLEEN
did prospect is promised 10 the rebels
in the election Of HuraIio Seymour who
opposed coercion, and Frank P. Blair
who repudiates The just results of the
war. There is no misunderstanding
the hearty wish aud purpose of the
Southern rebels. If what they desire
to see accomplished should be done,
Grant will have taken Vichsburg and
compelled Lees surrender il vain ;
Farragut's victories will be proven
yalueless; Heade's triumph at Grttys-
burg had as well been defeat: !; Wins
low $ capture Of the Alabama Will have
GwiEdied into a mere bit Of personal
glory; AT. Terry's glorious capture Of
Fort Fisher will go for nothing Reno
and kearney and Lyon and SeGgwich
and Mcpherson and Weed and the hosts
Of heroes who fought beside them will
have persisted in vain and worse than
in vain-for the grand upshot Of all
nothing better, nothing more to be
priced and exulted over than the ulti-
mate triumph of the living JEFF. Davis
over the dead Lincoln-the political
mastery over the country by the mea

brave sons of the North who rallied to
its defense. Ii is folly TO think that the
Southern press aud Southern orators ,
mean anything short Of all this by their
hopeful declarations about - regaining
tie Lost Cause"
Al this has been repeated, ia suo
stance, until it is almost hackacyed, by
the Republican press. We do not re
iterate it because We are deiuded with |
the notion that il is fresh fuel for the !
campaign; for royalty has its eyes open
aod is, We hope, prepared to again as
sert itself by claiming the faaI victory
in November. But We refer to these
speculations by the rebels to direct at
,eution TO the attitude of the Northern
Democratic press with relation thereto.
Is there one instance Oh record OF re-
buke of these rebeliious utterances by
a Democratic organ or a Democratic
orator? If there is such an instance
We have never read of nor heard it.
Whatever denuneiations come from
Democratic lips and pens are hurled at
The men and measures that lave been
in making "the Confederacy"
a Lost Cause. No Democratic Journal,
however strong its professions of
patriotism {and they all profess to be
lovers of the Union aud the Constitu-
lion) tells these surly fre-eaters of the :
South, " You mistate the mission and t
intent If the Democratic party in cou-
bling its success with the secession G
movement !" no Democratic orator pu,s
q a denial of an affinity Of his party FOX g
he " Lost Cause ;" none of that party a
lave the hardihood TO tell Southern !
raitors that the National fabric shall be
srever insured and protected from any
ssaults or menaces upon their part.
"a the contrary, they re-echo the sedi- r
ous declarations of Seymour that r
coercion is as unconstitutional as ii
secession and tina, mob has as much j
