The people have not as yet become
fully conscious of the danger which
threatens them, but it seems to us
that they ought not to be long in
doubt as to the meaning Of such
measures as the Potter investigation
and the intended Gripping of the
army. In Washington the peril is
well understood, but there must be
some perception of it instilled into
the popular mind before next Novem-
Der, or the country NAV find itself

PO>TMAsTER GENERAL KEY STRUCK
bis Democratic brethren Of the NORTH
a fearful blow under the belt, wher
10 bis late letter be twitted then
with their former treachery ant
cowardice as follows:
Remembering the encouragement which
the Northern Democrats, in 1860 and 1856
extended to the Southern States 10 secede
anG the manner in which their promise;
Of aid and comfort were fulfilled. can tho
Southern people afford to join this revOlu
tionary movement with the certainty tina
when the inevitable hour of peril comes they
will again be left unassisted and alone &c
meet the storm from the North, once more
united by this attempt to revive an issue
whose settlement was forced by public
opinion upon an unwilling Congress-
No wonder that the cowardly
scum Of the party, the old copper
head element, is in loud pursuit of
him, frantic with rage, bowling forth
curses aud hitter invective. Appar-
emily the utter contempt in which
they are held by the Southern men
whom they deceived, and who now
tolerate them only for the use to
which they can be put, is a revela-
ton to them. Seemingly they thought
that the treachery with which they
.lured thousands Of brave men to their
graves, was forgotten, Of its memory
buried with the bones or their in
Vulnerable victims.
How bitter therefore chagrin, their
how profound their rage to be remind
ed by one Of their living victims, Of
their base treachery and violated
faith. When the South took up arms,
it expected aid from Northern Demo-
Gratis; did it ever come? 1t was
promised thousands of Democratic
recruits; did they shoulder their
muskets to make good the pledge!
Their sympsthies were undoubtedly
with the South, but sympathy
amounts 10 nothing in a charge Of
bsyonets, and the cowardly Northern
traitors skulked into Canada. or con-
tented themselves with trying to
cripple the government from their
places Of security in the rear of the
Union armies. Can the South ever
trust these Democraticleaders again !?
Neyer-Deep in their hearts they
far more honor the brave men who
met them in the smoke and crash Of
battle, than the treacherous skulkers
who promised them material aid, and
gave them only their sympathy.
The open, fearless letter of General
Key, and his recalling 10 the memory
of Southern men the treachery of
their former and present allies, will
undoubtedly have weight with those
who are disposed to lend themselves
to this new rebellion, while its sting
ing and contemptuous reference to
the former treachery of Northern
Democratic leaders, has set them
frantic with rage, which as usual
they vent through the weak and
foolish organs Of their party.
