What has bzen tAccomplished.
It is now three years since the great rey-
olution commenced, which has deluged our
country in blyod, and heaped upon ug a
debt which threatens to blot our Republic
from the n.ap of nations. Ir we could see
py hope ih the future, a review of the past
would ret call up such fearful forebodings.
But when we consider our condition as it
was in 1860. and aait is now, and note Low
rapidly we have progressed to destruction,
Wwe cannot repress a shudder for our fate,
should such a condition of affairs continue
for three years longer. As a Democratic
government, we cannct survive under our
Present policy, for one half of that time. —
There must be a radical change, ina very
short space, or no power on carth can save
us from despotism. In the first placs, it is
utterly impossible to maintain so large an
Ary as ours has been, nnd is, for the pur-
Poses in which it is used, in a government
where the people are the sovereigns. That
the people are unwilling to sustain this war,
as waged now, the necessity for a conserip-
tion law sufficiently proves. And an army
eannot, by any possibility, be raised and
Supported, under Republican institutions,
against the will of the peonle. Under Dem-
ocratie rele, the necessity for a large mili
tary force would Jong since have passed by
and the davge's which row darken our ho-
rizon, like the shadow of death, would never
have been upon us. In vain was the voice
of Democrats raisea to warn our people from
the dangerous path, and our present condi-
tion is the result.
For three years every nerve in the nation
has been sirained in a strife among breth-
ren, the object of which sickens the soul, —
Their public speakers declare and their
acts attest that the object for which this
war 18 being waged, on the part of the Ad-
ministration, is not the restoration of the
Union, They boldly tell us that we cannot
have *‘the constitution asit is and the Un.
fon as itwss;” slavery mus: be destroyed,
the South subjugated, and the old goyern-
ment, as nace by the Constitution; nuniber-
ed among the wrecks of the past.—Tt is well,
after three years of revolution and war, to
look for a moment upon our condition and
sve what results have arisen to ccmpensate
us for the loss of a willicn of lives and the
contraction of a debt which, if it does not
destroy us utterly, will weigh us to the
dust for generations to come, It is well,
when the air is thick with the groans of dy-
ing men, and thé smoke of battle, to irquire
what 18 it for ? and why ought it not to
cease ?
It may be said that these whom we
have placed in power are the proper persons
to answer that inquiry ; were the danger on.
ly to themsolyes, we might admit it, but
we are all in one vessel, and while illions
of men are toiling out their lives at the
oars, the hands of one man directs their ef-
forts, and the more violently they labor,
the more rapidly they progress to destrue-
tion while the hand «t the helm 1s gu.ding

it is time to inquire wither we are being
guided.
Thie war was commenced gs we were
told, for the purpose of preserving civil lib-
erly , every energy of a mighty people was
placed at the disposal of those in power,
and by hundreds of thovsands our citizens
eflered up their lives.in defence, ay they
fondly believed, of the principles for which
their fathers died. Our Southern border
has become one vast golgotha, and ts fir-
tile fields have been desola‘ed in the blight-
ng breath of war : a skeleton sits upon al-
most every hearth stone in the land, and
still the darkness closes more densely aronnd
us. We have never, fora moment, doubted
the honesty of our soldiers in the eld. and
our heart grows sick whee we remember
the horrible purpose for which they have
been sacrificed. Instead of preserving civil
liberty, every blow struck has but tended
to destroy it, while our brothers were offer.

And how long shall such a state of affairs
continue ? A question of fearful import,

words of one of the wisest statesmen our
nation ever produced, “‘a bad feature in gov"

"The Contrast.
We cannot but admire the genius of the
present Napoleon, and the steps he is taking
prove him to be the “nephew of his uncle.”
The propositions he has lately made to the
monarchs of Europe for the settlement of all
difficulties existing, or to exist, without re-
sorting to the sword, prove him to be either
a philanthropist, or an exceedingly crafty
politician, The first Napoleon made amica-
ble propositions to England even while con-
templating the messures which afterwards
deluged Europe blood, and shook the globe
to its centre. It may be that the peaceful
measures proposed by Louis are of the same
natare, and that the veil will be shortly
drawn upon a drama as blcody #nd terril le
as that which was witnessed in Europe
three quarters of a century ago.
But, until such designs become manifest,
we have no reas.u to believe that the Em
peror of the French has any such intentions,
And what a contrast in ths measures of
a Ecropean Monarch and those of the Pies-
ident of the American Republic. We have
boasted in the past of our christianity,
aad hatred of blood-shed, and to-day Amer-
ican ci'izens may well blush with shame
that OUR executive should be outdone in
measures of humanity ; and that an exam-
ple should be given, from such a source,
which President Lincoln would do well to
follow,
The lately elected speaker of the House
of Representatives, in hig official capacity,
says to the country ane the world that the
rebellion will certainly be crushed before the
adjournment of Congress. “And what iy the
awful signification of his words 2 Simply
that the South will be a wreck to appal the
the soul of a Caligula, that its institutions
will be overthrown utterly, and that hence-
forth the Southern States will be but depen-
dencies upon the despotism to be compre
TED by the present Congress. The words
of Mr. Colfax call up ideas tao horrible for
contemplaf on, for they show that the poli-
cy of the dominant party is the complete
subjugation of the States in “rebellion,” and
that no word of compromise or peace is to
go forth until the South is crushed, bro-
ken, annihilated ; until its last brave
wan has fallen ; for with the issue pre-
Sented as it 15 row, of the Union with -
cut the Constitution, ijt ig simply im-
possible that an honorable Southerner can
choose anything but death, A brave man
will die rather than be dishonored. Is it
then possible that we, of the Continent
once consecrated fo peace, can be put to
shame by one who occupies a throne which
the blood of millions has purchased.
It cannot be said that Louis Nopoleon has
been influenced by fear, for no nation in the
world is cn so good a war footing as his.—
It simply means that he, as a brave man,
nows how to treat brave and honorable en-
emies, even though they are hereditary
foes ; while our own executive, a coward
himself, knows nothing of the respect due
to bravery, even when the fortunes of
war have disabled foes who are naturally
brothers. +
Ray When Martin Lather was sum-
moned to the Dict of Worms, by the Em.
veror Charles V,, to answer for bis opposi
tion to Popery, thousands of citizens throng-
ed the streets of the city to see the remark-
able man who was shaking the thrones of
Europe to their foundations, Many of the
doors of the houses were filled with in-
scriptions, prominent among which was
this significant quotation from Scripture :
**Woe to the nation whose king'is a babe.”
In our own country, three centuries la-
ter, while we dare not speak so disrepect-
fully of our ‘‘sovereign® or inscribe such

A Strange Anomaly.
The Abolitionists are, at the same time,
the bravest men and the greatest cowards,
t'eworldeversaw. It SEems a strangeano-
maly, but it is nevertheless perfectly true,
that these ““fri>nds of freedom’ €re MOBALLY
the most audacious of mortals and physically
the most abject cowards on the face of the
earth. Sumner, in the Senate, was even
brave enough to ridicule the Ehysical infir-
wities of the venerable Senator Butler, but
when Preston Brooks, a man of scarce halt
his strength, took him by the collar, and
smartly caned him, he fell at his feet, grovel-
ing like a whipped hound. Burlingame was
brave enough to blaspheme the Almighty,
as Union, but rode, day after day, in a close
carriage, for fear General Lane would give
him a switching. Bat think of Seward
touching a bell and arresiing thousands of
free-born Ame ricans, just as in Turkey and
Russ a; But if oneof these outraged citizens
should confront him personally, h: might
knock the tyrant down with a straw. But,
thus at a blow made slaves of twenty mill-
ions of full-grown, free-born Americans, but
in his “Proclamation of Freedom,” presumes
to nulify the ordinances of the Almighty,
and abolish the distinctions of race! But
physically, he is rrobaly the biggest coward
of the lot, not only disguising himself in
cloak and Scotch cap, but snrrounds hime
self with a “Guard de Corps,” like poor
Lows the Sixteenth. Nor is there any real
anomaly in this matter. The Abolitionists
have a theory, or abstraction, that all men,
Whites, Indians, Negroes, Mulattoes, and
Sambos, are ** created €qual,” and in support
of this “grand truth,” as an abstraction,
they are brave as lions, but when they come
todefend it in practice, and affiliate with
the inferior creatures, they can no more
stand up face to face with an uncorrupted
white man than can the negro himself, and
are therefore, physically considered, the
greatest cowards the world ever saw,
