Old Abraham, my jolly old Abe,

But nothing ola saint ;
But since you wore the Spanish cloak,
You love the negro so,
And hate the white man, so you do,
My jolly old Abe, my Jo.
Old Abe, my joily old Abe,
What do you really mean I
Your negro proclamation is
A wild fanatic's dream.
The war you did begin, old Abe,
And that you surely know;
You should have made a compromise,
My jolly old Abe, my Jo.
Old Abraham, tr.y jolly old Abe,
Your darkey plan has failed,
Ere this you know that cruel war
And taxes you've entailed.
In this unhappy lanJ, old Abe,
Is weeping, wail, and Woe,
That you can't cure, nor we endure,
M y jolly old Abe, my Jo.

Till every negro's free ;
And, equal with the oest of men,
In aim and aim can go
To vote as you may wish him to,

THE SPY SYSTEM.
I Every despotism is compelled to maintain a :
system of espionage in order to secure its usurp- |
ations. Our own is no exception. Its spies ■
I and emissaries, who are paid outof the fund set i
i aside by Congress for "secret service," are in I
every city, town and community. Some are i
resident, and some are of the nomadic tvibe, but i
all are of the most unenviable character—sneak
ing mischief-work rs who, before the war, could
be found at the bottom of every domestic diffi
culty, every community slander, and every un
j founded lie and disturbance. Being paid for
their dirty work, they rind it necessary to make
; some show of earning their greenbacks ; but, as
1 itTequires less work to invent than to peek about
eves, windows and keyholes, they therefore—
invent, as a general thing.
The one of this class who has succeeded in
making up the biggest yarn to tickle his employ
ers and rake in his monthly dues, is Sanderson,
; who invented and worked up a "thousand pa
ges of legal cap" about the "Northwestern Con
* spiracy." There are numerous specimens of
, the genus whose speciality is the concocting of
* "loyal"' newspaper correspondence. At tLj y a _
I "<AIS sprL---- lUK j watering prices will bq j
, One or more of them. A few day? ago one of
them regaled the readers of the "loyal" I'hila- j
del phi a BtUktin with a big story to theeffect that
! Cape May was made up of secessionists—that the
stars and bars were publicly displayed there—
that loyal people had to pack their trunks and
leave in a body, &e. After the correspondent
| had drawn his pay and the "loyal" country press
had caught til-: bait, the IJtdleltn was constrained
to deny the whole story.
Another of this tribe tickles the "loyalty" of
. the Washington Chronicle's readers with a story
about secessionist!! and treason at the Bedford
Springs, where "chief among these vicious se
cession sympathisers was James Buchanan and
j his niece, Miss Lane." Another of this class
| ol pimps, who have no respect fur the sanctity
i ot private life, for honorable gray hairs, or for
I female worth or innocence, makes an attack.
: front the same place, in the N. Y. Herald, up
on General BueU, who has had the temerity to
receive the courtesies of personal friends.
And so, throughout the country, are scatter
* ed a multitude of these 3pies, (who are paid di
| rectly out of the Government treasury, as a
! general thing.) to render odious to the people
such eminent men as are opposed to the rotten
despotism of shoddy. For the most part the
1 persons composing this class of villains are vig
| orous and able-bodied, but always exempt from
military set vice. They always carry some pass,
certificate or "open sesame;" and Government
officials feel honored in their acquaintance.
This is where a large portion of the people's
money goes. 1 heir hard earned taxes must go
to pay the wages of such scamps as are appoint
ed to dodge their footst'eps, listen at their key-
I holes and peek and pry generally into their most
| private affairs. How do our people fancy the
I work of this triHo of Uriah Ueeps, who receive
the funds of t?ie "Secret Service?"— Patriot ty

A rIENDISH OUTRAGE.
A correspondent of the Atlanta A/yea! nar
rates tbo annexed fiendish outrage:
A body of Yankees went to the residence of
Mr. Wm. Iveson, who lives about sixteeii miles
north of Decatur, Georgia, on last Saturday,
and after destroying his etfeets to their heart's
content, laid hands on his daughter, about six
teen years of age, and by force, one sifter anoth
er, satisfying their hellish lust. Her father at
tempted to take her from them. They then set
on him with clubs, which soon disabled the old
tn;;n, and, in all probability will die of his inju
ries. This beantiful and virtuous young lady
expired before they left. The Yankees came
back next morning and dug a hole near the
well, in the yard, and put the corpse in and cov
ered it.
Such accounts as these wo are aware arc not
generally fit to be inserted in newspaper col
umns. We publish this simply because we hope
it will have the effect of rousing our people to
more energetic action in their endeavors to drive
back a foe who is seeking to devastate our fair
State and to lay waste and render desolate hap
py homes and firesides.

THE YANKEE TYRANNY.
The Central and Western States Mere
"Hewers of Wood" to New England.
Previous to the present civil wur the agitators
of New England were eternally denouncing the
alleged ascendancy of the seven Cotton States
in shaping and controlling the policy of our na
tional government. "Everything is shaped* to
benefit the cotton States," was the ery of the
New England fanatic 3. "The whole govern
ment is in the hands of the South, and every
measure of legislation is held subordinate to !
Southern interests." That there was a small
basis of fact for these assertions is not to be de
nied, and that basis had this extent, no more:
Ihe seven cotton States demanded that the con
stitution of the United States should be upheld,
and that no legislation hostile to their projag ty
interests in the institution of slavery shot/Id he
undertaken by Congress. They ulso further de
manded, in one single instance,—the Fugitive
Slave law—that Congress should make some
legislative provision to enforce one of the rigFts
guaranteed to them by the constitution against
the treasonable and unconstitutional opposition
thereto of these sauio New England fanatics.
This was about all the "peculiar legislation"
the Soutii demanded, and, in return for receiv
ing it, they—a wholly agricultural and produc
ing people —acquiesced without murmur in all
the legislation demanded by the complex com
mercial, agricultural and manufacturing inter
ests of the remainder of the Union.
Well, the Union was at last broken up, the
South being no longer able to bear peacefully
the constant irritation and dangers resulting
from the aggressive character of New England's
anti-slavery fanaticism. The fourteen Senators
from the seven cotton Slates not only lost their
ascendancy in our national affairs, but stepped I
out of the Union altogether. And now what
do we find to be the result? Just this:-—That
the twelve Senators of the six New England
States have adopted the rote which they so ye- i
hemently denounced in what they were pleased ;
to call the "Black Gulf Squadron," and that
our whole national policy is to-day subservient
to the interests and dictates, the bigotries and
narrow, puritanical prejudices, of the twelve j
Senators who, forming "the "Black Republican 1
Squadron," are Bent from the New England
States to Washington. Our present actual mas- '
ters are more sordid, grasping and cruel tiiin
were the alleged Southern managers of the past. I
They legislate with a view exclusively to New j 1
England interests, and their object would <see(p
to bo to throw all the burdens of taxaiiuij and j
revenue upon the other, portions of the loyal i
States, while compelling us all, by high profec- j
live and importalT >n duties, to pur-;
chase New England manufactures, however in
ferior to those we could obtain much cheaper ■
„i i .. -• ' . U.......u i
ai just sue., as may su.. t ,...
ft?—-we will not say Conscience*. for ihey ap- :
pear to have none—of New England's mayu-'
facturing aristocracy.
The main burdens of our internal revenue
were thrown by the legislation of la;t winter
upon two articles —whiskey and tobacco —in
which the New England States have but the
slightest interest, while our custom house du
ties were advanced to figures making regular
importation all buL certainly unprofitable, and
of necessity driving the trade, heretofore cen
tred in New York, to be mainly transacted there
after by active parties of smugglers along the
Canadian border. Su much is this the ease that
the Secretary of the Treasury is now devising
means to check this very smuggling, which has
reached, even while yet in its infancy, enormous
proportions—Secretary Fessenden apparently
forgetting Sir Robert I'eeie's maxim, as the re
sult of English experience, that "it is utterly
impossible to check any smuggling which, if
successful, will pay a profit of over 30 per cent."
In our case, however, the profits of running cer
tain articles into the United States from Cana
da will be many hundred percent.; nor can this
be stopped in any manner, unless we build along
the Canadian frontier such a wall as divides the
Chinese from the old Tartar empire. Even this
would hardly suffice; tor, with such a profit as
New England greed has left open to the smug
glers, it would be a remunerative speculation to
start a hund.ed large balloons in this species of
traffic.
In the last session of the Senate, let it not be
forgotten, the chairman of every importantcom- j
mittee was a New Englander, the presiding of
ficer was a New Englander, and all the legisla
tion ground out was either to benefit New Kit
gland interests, or to supply food to New En
gland bigotries and hates. The trade of New
York city was to be destroyed by imposing du
ties which would force foreign merchandise up
to Canada, and thence, by smuggling, into the
U. States; while New England was to avoid
the heavy burden of taxation, in great measure,
by placing the heaviest excise duties on our in
ternal revenue upon two articles in which her
interests are insignificant. ller six States, with
an aggregate population of three millions one
hundred and thirty-five thousand three hundred
and one, according to the census of iB6O, are
represented by 12 Senators, holding the chair
manships of all the most important committees
of the Senate of the Union; while New York,
with a population of three millions eight hun
dred and eighty-seven thousand five hundred
and forty-two, according to the same census,
has but two members in the Senate; and these
two, upon every occasion in which they attempt
ed to defend the interests of New York and the
Central States, were roughly overridden and vo
ted down by the "lilack Republican Squadron"
from Now England.
Thus it is that history repeats itself. The
Puritans fled to this country under pretence of
a desire to secure religious liberty; but no soon
! er had they obtained it for themselves than they
commenced burning Quakers, non-conformists,
witches and all others whose practices they could
not understand. They protested against the as-
j cendancy of the "Black Gulf Squadron" in our
I national affairs, even provoking a civil war ra-
I ther than submit to it; but no sooner are they
. given a chance of power than we find the "Black
| Republican Squadron" in full sweep, with the
black fiag hoisted against the rights, interests
| and opinions of every section of the Union.—
Our whole government to-day is one of Yankee
ideas and the most miserable sort of Yankee
philanthropic notions. The sceptre thrown down
by the extreme South as it rushed out of the
Union is now wielded mora fiercely and remorse
lessly by the extreme Northeastern section of
: our people.
hen will the day come, it may be asked,
in which the great Central or Western Statc3
will assert their natural supremacy, and crush
out the extremists, or corner-men of the conti
nent, as we may call them—ona faction of these
residing in the southeast, and the other in the
northeast corner of the Atlantic seaboard?—
* When will tlie day come that we of the Centre
and\\ est shall bo "Americans," and not "Yan
kees," in the eyes of Europe, and indeed of all
j the world? We are called "Yankees'' now
even by our Southern foes, who know better,
geographically—merely because it is seen that
we are the helots of a Yankee oligarchy, pa
paliently submitting to Yankee rule, and fight
j lng out a war which had its origin in Yankee
intolerance and bigotry. With seven hundred
and lit ty thousand more population than the six
Now England States put together, we have but
two representatives in the Senate of the United
States, while New England has twelve; and,
not content with foisting on us the greater part
of the burdens of the war, while at the same
time ruining the trade and marine of our great
est city—the greatest city on the continent—
i New England has now capped the climax of
her oppressions by so arranging it that, while
but twelve and a half per cent, of her popula
, tion has been enrolled for the coming draft, no
less than twenty-six per cent, of our population
• in the first ten districts of New York have been \
! enrolled for the same purpose! Does this really :
! mean that the lives of two and a fraction cili- ,
zens of New York are but wortli the life of one
i Massachusetts man? Or will the Bay State as- J
* sert that one of her lanky sons is able to whip
| two and something over of our New York ath- j
j letes- The question is a pertinent one; fdr, as !
tilings are now progressing, no one can tell how
Soon these questions may be brought to a very
. practical test. The only remedy for these evils
i i* for the Central and Northern States to make
ua strong alliance, offensive and defensive, during
"the progress of the Chicago Convention, and to
; place upon a platform, opposed alike to South
• eastern and Northeastern extremists, some con- 1
i: native soldier or statesman who shall be the
vigorous exponent rtf a national, anti-corner
' ptffn'y-

WHO IS THE GOVERNMENT.
Are we not tired of bearing so much about
"■supporting the government," —"resisting the
government" —"destroying the government" and
a great deal of like nonsense ? Who resists the
government t Before we can answer that ques
tion, it is important to settle the matter us to |
yvho is the government. Mr. Lincoln is not the
government. Congress is not the government.
The Supreme Court is not the government.
All these united do not form the governing pow
er of the country. Under our system TIIE
PEOI'LE is the government; and the President,
the Congress, and the Supreme Court, are only
the official agents to execute the will of the
( sovereign people, or to administer their laws un-{!
i der carefully guarded Constitutional limitations, j
All of Mr. Lincoln's usurpations are assaults
upon the government. He is the guilty party,
; who is opposing and seeking to destroy the gov
l em men t! In England, the governing power,
i instead of being tbe people is the aidstocracy.
Suppress the aristocracy in England, and there
is no political organization left—the govern
ment of that country would be overthrown, just
i as Lincoln is seeking to overthrow the govern
i ment of this country by suppressing the rights
and powers of the people. Napoleon s*id: Ii
religion had been taken away from Home, noth
ing would have been left. — The reason was that
the government of Rome was the priesthood.
If we take sovereignty from the people of Amer
! ica, there is nothing left of our government.
It would be as effectually destroyed as the gov
ernment of Great Britain would be by the over
; throw of the aristocracy, or as the government
of Austria would l>e by the ignoring of the
crown. So if it be true, as these noisy imbe
-1 ciles declare, that those who are opposing, and
trying to destroy our government, ought to be
hanged, Mr. Lincoln's neck is the one to which
thoy must fit their halter Ho is the traitor
who is opposing the government established by
th Q people of the United States. — Old Guard.

THE INDIAN V/aB.
This war is assuming vast proportions, Ritd
shocking atrocities, demanding immediate pun
ishment, have been committed. It is said up
on good authority, that 6,000 warriors oi the
Sioux ti : he are on the war pith, animated by
a fixed pnrpo.-e to si.ty all the whites they may
meet, and to destroy all the property within
their reach. Other tribes aro engaged in the
same work and with the .same purpose in view.
As yet, the preparations to meet and punish
them have been mud inadequate, and the only
organized military expedition —that of Gen.
Sully—it is feared never will come up to time.
It has been delayed so much in its movements
as to give the sanguinary savages full time to
rob, kill and destroy before he can possibly o
vertake them. This Indian war is design". Ito
add many millions ot dollars to tae debt of
the country, to say nothing of the many valu
able lives sacrificed anil the interruption of all
commercial relations with our W esioni lerri
tories. '
ASCITOK to HE:; Xlxjuatx. —The French
papers contain the following odd story ; Letters
from Abyssinia state that Theodore, Emperor
of that country, has just crowned his imperial
eccentricities by au act which exceeds them all
in extravagance. Having learned of the wid
owhood of Queen Victoria he has had a letter
written to her, offering her his hand. Mr.
Cameron, the English Consul, was charged to
forward this missive to his sovereign. The re
ply to so unforeseen an offer not being immedi
ately forthcoming, the Emperor Theodore gt
angry, and had Mr. Cameron put in chains un
til lii's Majesty should have obtained satisfaction
for such a want of attention towards him. On
hearing of the imprisonment ?f Mr. Cameron,
her Britauic Majesty is said to have decided on
replying by a polite refusal, the sending of which
by post was more economic than a special mis
sion to Abyssinia.
