The Mobile Register, which, after

and struggling to the last to over
throw a mild and. equable govern

the Territories of the United States

which was utterly foiled in its hope
Of destroying the Constitution and
government of the republic Of the
United States to rear upon its ruins
an empire of sIayery-now begs its
Democratic friends and allies not to
oppose the "wonderful institution"
known1as Tsmmany, but to turn all
their guns Hon the JaeObin tyrant
who sits enthroned at Washington
to the terror of all patriots, and to |
the peril of free government" This
is its description of the modest and |
honest soldier who finally frustrated
the plans of the Mobile Register and |
its fellow7rebels, and who, by the
will of the loyal and intelligent |
friends of the Union and of equal |
liberty-who are a great majority of |
the American people--is to-day in
very truth, and to the joy of every |
honest believer in equal rights, "the
terror" of such patriots as the Mo-
bile Register, and "the peril" Of the
freedom of the Ku KIuz, the Mo,
bile Registers friends. !
The precise feeling of the South
.ern element of their party, upon |
which the Democratic leaders rely
for success, is shown in the ardent
appeals of the Register for harmony. |
Its one fond remembrance is the re.
bellion. Its one passionate hope is
the destruction of the results of the
Union victory. All its illustrations
spring instinctiveIy from its most
familiar associations. Be friends !
be friends! it cries to its allies.+
