They come with the speed OF a thund-

track OF nre and smoke follows them

ing to the current events
1.-THE Democrats never did like the Army, un =
less 1t was engaged In the conquest Of more slave
territory. They pere always nervous about some
rights Of the people which the Army threaten
ed, and this Is why they had Il safely out Of the
way In 1850. They where apprehensive that II
might be used somehow to prevent the exercise
Of the popular right Of secession. The Solid
South didn't like It duriug the war, and they
haven't liked II since and l. looks as ifthey new
er would like anything which represents the or
CANNED force Of the general Government which
they undertook TO overthrow. The threat TO starve
the Army comes naturally now from the same
di,gusted source. But IL is an empty threat.
The Confederate Congress does not dare to make
the attempt. Buoh an outrage, 10 the light Of
recent American history, would be altogether toe
Insignificant"
