what Might Happen.

What is there to prevent another rebellion,
and a more successful one than the former one,
whenever the Southern people feel like it; or,
in case of n foreign war; what is there to pre-
vent the coasts of the United States from being
ravsged, and its commerce swept from the seas
The Southern rebel elemrut is stronger in Col--
gress than il Was in 1860, aud the Northern De-
mocracy are more snbscrvient to it than they
were then The whole effort of the Democratic
branch of Congress is directed to rendering the
Government defeneelrss, either from domestic
OF foreign enemies. Before going into the rebel
lion, in 1861, they neglected to destroy the army
and the navy, so that they were quickly brought
into use, when the crisis arrived. But now their
spite seems 10 lac concentrated against the army
and navy. The navy Is i'll a manner worthless,
and the army is being rapidly disbanded, in
consequence of tho refusal to make appropriation
for its support. The Democratic cry against
large army, comes from the fact that the army
put down the rebellion. They do not mean to
leave such an obstacle in the way, when they
are ready for another rebellion. Who can
doubt that they look forward to such an event =
They keep alive the memories of the rebellion,
foster the hope that the lost cause is not alto
gether lost, and keep their military companies
organized in all parts of the South.
In case Of rebellion, what dependence could
be placed upon the imbeciie in the White Houses
He is utterly incompetent for the place, and has
not the courage to act, if he had the will. With
the army and navy destroyed, and the Executive
chair Sled by q nonentity in everything except
the faculty to do evil, who would save the Gov
ernmenti The thanks and the treatment be-
slowed upon the men who rushed to the res cue
before, have been such as to cool the araOr of
the American people in that direction, if not to
prevent another such uprising within the men,
ory of the present generation.
With any sort Of shrewd management, the
United States could be embroiled in foreign
war, and while struggling in her defsncelessness,
tho South could walk off unmolested, and even
unite with the foreign enemy, in consideration
of having her Independence guaranteed. These
are things that might be; and in the light of
past events, and the intense bitterness in the
Democratic party, North and South, against any
thing that was connected with the Union cause,
or in any manner served or assisted it, the im-
agination does not need to suffer any great
stretch to contemplate the possibility, if not
the probability, of another attempt at rebellion,
under more favorable auspices.

A HARD CAsE.-The Bulletin, as an excuse for
permitting correspondents to inundate it with
blackguardism, makes the pitiful excuse that it
has been compelled to do so, or the Chief would
abuse every person who dared to write for it, no
matter whether it was male or female. That is
q case that calls for sympathy, indeed. From
the very start, the BslletiH became vehicle for
anonymous scribblers to snarl at the Chief
That fellow Quinn, at Iowa Point, without provo
cation on our part, hammered away at us for
weeks before we attempted to locate him, or make
any reply. Another person, who bad always
pretended to be our warm friend, volunteered to
abuse us over the anonymous signature of ~.
Ames," and when we exposed him, he clustered
fearfully, and tried to sneak out of it. Since
then, he has worried considerably on our ac-
count. The Bulletin may as we'll understand
that none Of its ours, be they dog or slut, can
snap and snarl at us, without receiving kick
in return. Smoke that

u The Lawrence Journal says it thinks Gov.
Anthony is silver man in good standing Gov.
Anthony is very positive man in his express
ions, in view of which, together with the posi-
tion he occupies, people ought to have some
definite knowledge of his views, without being
compelled to guess at them. We have never
seen him reported as being anything but the
hardest kind of q hard money man, and some
papers have quoted him as using very heartless
language relative to the debtor class. The peo-
pie ought to kzow the views of q public man,
not be compelled to guess at them, and perhaps
find themselves deceived, when it is too late for
a remedy.

= This thing of claiming that the President
is destroying the Republican party, is becoming
monotonous. 1t is not in his power to destroy
the party, if it does not blindly fasten itself to
him, and 60 down to perdition with him. We
find a number of States fully endorsing him,
and then complainining that he is causing the
defeat of their tickets. If they will not learn
wisdom from experience, they ought to be de-
fssted. Let them quit endorsing him, but de-
nounce him as traitor and imbecile that he is,
and kick him overheard and, although it may
lose them some of the Federal loaves aud fishes,
our word for it, the party will at once begin to
regain its strength and success.

u Newspapers that are started where there
is no demand for them, usually float around un-
til they can freeze to something that is willing
to accept them as an organ. We had such an
ono in Troy, that started out as q rip-snorting
Republican, but soon prevailed upon the De-
mocracy to take it in out Of the wet. At Falls
City, . paper called the Record was started, when
there was no more demand for it than for fine
art exhibition in q blind asylum. 1t drifted
along Republican until the new "Nationap par

of that party, and is now an organ.
