WHO DID IT P
'Lincoln was elected and we have bloody
times, Lincoln was elected and we hsve plen
iy of work such as wading in blood to the
knees, digging graves for our young men and
taking care of the maimed, wounded, willows
rend orphans. Lincoln was elected and the
expense of g overnuiew is one hundred times
greater. Lincoln is elected and we have pa ,
per and rac for a currency and billions of
debt. Lincoln is ebteted and instead of econo
my and reform we have had stealing and
wholesale plunder unheard of in any age 'of
the world, Lincoln is elected and instead of
coming to any policy of our fathers, we are
coining to taxation, national bankruptcy and
unmistakable ruin.— robintrer.
We ask the attention of our renders to this
extract. It is a fair statement of the condi•
lion of our country, and at the sonic time a
contemptibly mean and dishonest in-innation
as to the cause of our suffering and misery.
It insinuates by the very strongest kind of
implication, that the President:and the party
that elected him are responsible for all the
death, statring, devastation and - misery
caused by a wicked, unju.tiliable and inexcu
sable Slaveholders' rebellion. A Donoc,ti:
making a charge of this kind presents a spec
tacle at once as silly, amusing, absurd and
wicked, as would an antediluvian, who had
contributed by his wicked acts to provoke the
Almighty to drown n world, by charging Noah
with being the cause of the deluge, by gping
into the Ark. What caused this war ? By
whom was it c monenced ; and by whom is it
waged? We call at tent inn to a few forte t hot.
even a nonTheralic E ruor rhr...q not deny
A courederat ion wa. , foruitiii, during a lifirn
ocralie by n number of slatcq
which hAve c.l -t Democratic
tics, which Iht I fur IL3 rljrct 11 two l'oM lour
pose. First to give p, , tion, importance, and
power to a s.2t of men win have boon for the
last twenty years the cool and spirit of the
Democratic party, and secondly, for the pur
pose of extending and perpetuating a system
founded on opp . r;ssion and injustice, a system
opposed to the very p1.,in,•:.-. , t.i.rinc4les of hu
manity and Cnri,tianity nod one which has
bean discarded and abolii.hed wherever true
oivilivition and religion are known. The (;,.,v-
ernment of this confederacy was corepo4c,l of
Denv , raire you ticlans , who were, while schem
ing for their positions, drawing their pay to
Officer:3 of tio• United St tte , + to which positions
they had hcen n'eeted by Democratic rot es.
'The states composing the new confederacy
Itad governors and legislatures elected by the
organizations known as the Democratic party,
and their election was a theme for rejoicing
and political thanksgiving by lAa cry pver
front zyllich e t.trnci is ' , pied. Thi , ,
confederacy proceeded to orgAni4e an army
composed of 11 hi,,crat, from M rr General,
down to the foive.,t man in the t Corr)
rays 8141;1. Tho money neces , ..ary to defray
the expenses of this entire undertaking was
stolen from the custom houses ,and mints be
longing to the United States, by Democrat,
who were afforiled•nn excellent chance for
operations of this kind by the criminal imbe•
oility or connivance of a Democratic Admin
istration. The arms and munitions of war
necessa . ry far their army were stolen, by Dem
ocrats, from forts, navy yards and arsenals,
belonging to the Government, where they had
been accumulated in vast quantities for (his
very emergency by two Mmorratic Secreta
ries of War, who were among the instigators
of the conspiracy, one of whom is now the
;lead of the confederacy, the other a Major
'General in its service. As soon as their plans
were perfected, these trai:ors nit only de.
declared war but auscually Cs': :muncel lots
tilities bocu'.ll oil ca p turing Fort
Sumpter. This act of cowardice, vi.iaiuy and
treason was en !cursed by the Dett-scrary of
Virginia, N,:111 Carolina, Arkansas and Ten
nessce. These stat es wcre taken by their
Democratic: managers from their allegiance to
the Government solar which they haul ac
quired all their wealth, power and influence,
and by them hitched on to that conglomera
tion of Democratic villainy, treason and op
pression, called the Southern Confederacy,—
This same school of demagogues tried the
samo game on the remaining states that oast
Democratic majorities, Maryland, Delaware,
Kentucky and Missouri, and would have suc
ceeded in their treasonable purpose, had it
not been for the presence of a large and de
termined element in those. states opposed to
tho Democracy, and for the prompt and deter
mined action of tlio Government. Not suc
ceeding in getting their States to Lake up arms
in support of treason, they determined to give
.the cause they loved, the benefit of their in
•dividual asudstanoe. Stich Democratic pa
triots as Magoffiu of Kentucky,. and Jackson, of
Missouri, degraded their high official position
by inaugurating a civil war within the bor
odors of the very states which had entrusted
them with the execution of their laws. John
C. Breckinridge, the idol of the Democracy
and its candidate for the: Presidential office,
felt constrained by his convictions of duty to
this country, his God and his Democracy, to
lead en annoy of rebels into his native State,
and make it a scene of carnage, devastation
and bloodshed, in order to prove the oft re
. pooled' Denioeratie prophesy: "If Lincoln is
eleoted Otero will he a CIVIL WAIL.'
•This is a fair statement of the facts con•
.nected with the rebellion, and shows beyond
doubt who coMmenced and who are still
waging this unhoLy war. Let us, in the light
of theSe facts,, examine the statement of the
Volunteer with regard to the condition of our
affairs, and the justness of his insinuations
as to the pause of our troubles.'
"IV° hare plenty of Wory_aueli as wading in
blood to tho knees." liow• fearfully true is
this assertion! We are wading iu the blood
of slaughtered patriots who have taken up
arms to defend the Government against the
unprovoked assaults of Democratic traitors.—
The hills and plains of our country are stained
and her clear streams are reddened with the
bleed of our loyal bons - and brothers, - shed by
traitorous hordes, who move in quick obedl•
once to the orders of Democratic Colonels,
Generals and Presidents. Every drop of
blood shed since the beginning of the strug
gle has been in consquence of the treason of
Democrats. Every boar the contests lasts,
is in consequence of the determination of
Democrats not to submit to the legally consti
tuted nuthoritys of the country, until they
have "found the last ditch."
"Digging graves for our young men." Yes
enough of that too, heaven knows, digging
graves for young men who have been cut
down by sabers wielded by Democratic hands
who have been brought home ghastly corpses,
bruised and mangled by shot and shell ..fin/en
from United Slat cc Arsenals, by Democratic
mobs led by Deinocratic politicians, and fired
upon the defenders of our Government and
our homes, by democratic soldiery command
ed by democratic officers, For such young
men, slaughtere'd in the noblest of eauSes'. by
the bak.et. of all villains arid traitors, we have
r nan'y (11:1."
And so long aq a single trace of the stone,
that now marks the taint, of a dead soldier,
remains: so long will men shudder• when they
tilink (jibe death, ruin and 'misery caused
by that_ legitimate child of American De-
IIIIICrMy" and .\ merican slavery—the slave
holders' rebellion. We arc coining to tax

The Secesh nre now all for pe. iee . Th ey

by variou4 sets of war, seizing forte, vessels
of war and custom houses, and even the troops
sent to defend their own firesides from IA

until at last the insugents poured ow. their
artillery upon Fort Sumter, upon Nfabir An
derson and his little band of hereo4, under
the old flag The war was fur months all on
one side. Now we should like to learn why
it is th it these Secesh love pence so well and
at the same time feel such a fondues for the
men wh o made the war, find who still insist
on war. Let there go to their friends and
talk peace. The Union Merl want war
never did want it. They are ready fur peace
any day. None will go further for pe tee.—
None have goho as far.
But what does this cry for peace mean now ?
One party can make war-it takes two to make
peace. If we withdraw the army of the United

Kentucky homes ad,d firesides were to be dos •
elated by war, ivhilo the driminals who began
it were to escape. They have tried to wage
the war here. They have partially snorter:dad ;
but not at all to their satisfaction. They
have destroyed our property and robbed our
people. As our worst enemies they have scut
their hostile band into the Stale to plunder
and murder in this COMM onwentliti. We wish
the Peace party would make their dear ['Monde
in the &eroded States keep the peace in Ken

Their cry of peace means simply to stiffen

whO will never forgive her resis!anco lo the
wicked schemes of ambition in the Colton

for Kentucky cry peace. We shall submit, to

the following predict ion that, in coining years,
when peace is reslored throughout the land
as by God's blessing,. and in spite of Loco
feces, it will be—these men in the North, who,
in this terrible crisis of the nation's history,
have uttered no word of encouragement to
the Oevernment—whe have raised no voice in
condemnation of the rebellion, but, have do
ueuueed the powers that be, and openly ur
covetly dtiolared their sympathy with the
South, will aver with.eureing and swv.rittg,
that they sustained andsuppoeted the Govern

to the confessions of a Raleigh paper in re
