The Madness of the Administration.
--Under this caption the Baltimore Republican says: ‘ The vindictive madness and malignity of the Administration can find no parallel in all past history. This blood-thirsty set would utterly destroy the country and surrender up its dearest rights to foreign nations for the sake of subjugating the South. That miserable hypocrite, Seward, who pretended to be so conservative and peacefully disposed, is trying hard to buy the countenance of England and France, by surrendering to them the right of privateering — the only maritime defence of the country in times of war. This proposal shows the fiendish spirit which animates the Administration, and how supremely ridiculous it is to hope for any peaceful measures from such a source. The country must prepare for a bloody and protracted war — a most bitter and desolating strife — if the tyrants and madmen at Washington are not promptly checked by the indignant voice of an outraged people. The South must gird on her armor and stand up with the old spirit of her Marions and her Pickenses, or she will be overrun by the fanatical hordes which the North is raising against her. But the result cannot be doubted. A brave and united people like that of the South, with ample means, and a climate and country all against the invaders, must and will maintain their rights in defiance of all efforts to subdue them. His arm is doubly nerved whose cause is in the right. The God of Justice will fight with them and the hosts of their invaders will be scattered, and the evil counsels of their enemies brought to naught. For Freedom's battle once begun,Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though baffled oft — is ever won.
