, a calmly provid Diana, when no pry
woe near;
Involuntarily I followed, though at a re*
flpectlul distance, I watched her every mo
tion, as she advanced farther into tho “yeast
of waters.**
Moving out until moro ' than half her
queenly form was immersed in tho briny
waves, she stood, and gently bowed her head
to the groat breakers as they rolled in snowy
wreaths upon her. Oh, how I wished that I
was one—just one of those breakers? Would
I not clasp that queenly form in my chaste
embrace,’and bear it away to porno lone ‘’isle

I would!
13111, a hoarse "shout from (ho men/ard a

hidden from my view ; the next second I was
under a hundred tons of water, or so it
oqcmed.
Half strangled, I buffeted my way to the
top of the water, only to find that the “ un
dertow” had swept mo outside of the surf, be
yond breaker, and that tho
tide was bparing mo seaward.
I though* niU of my own danger. V/here
was she ? At instant I saw her—a look
of despair upon he:: beautiful face—within a
fow foot of me, just sinking; ■ for she evident
ly could nut swim, as she made nfc attempt to
do so.
Heaven ! what strength came to mo then !
Never did strong swimmer in his agony"
ct’;fke our, more boldly than I did then ami
thfere. ‘Hi an instant I was by her side, in;/
hand supporting her and my voice uttering
these words :
“ Lady, do not despair. I will save you
or die with, you J’ #
Oh, how'her look went through me. Words
pever could so express gratitude. Wave af
ter wave .beat over me, but I lifted her bright,
bcaptiftil head above them all.
“ If your strength will hist, a fow minute*,
wo are saved 1” slip said, in tones that were
melody condensed, farified, analytically mo
dulated (excuse my rhapsodies—-I cannot
help them). “For they aro launching surf
boats," she added.
I had not thought of that, or cared.for It,
or hulked for lb I only looked la her too
beautiful face.
“ They will soon bo hero. T)o not let yohr
strength give way," she said again.
How I wished they’d sink, capsize, do any
tiling lint come there and'share with mo the
felicity of saving her.
But they came. A great lobster-fisted hand
was strechcd out, and it rudely grasped her
round,‘peerless arm, and she was lilted into
the boat. I would have sunk myself-—fur
wbh her went al! my strength—had not an
other pair of lobster looking hands lilted
me also from the wafer, and tossed me as
carelessly as if I had been a hulf-growned
dog, into the bottom of tho boat.
I bclivo I was so weak as to faint; for I
knew nothing more until 1 found myself on
a bench on the beach, surround by huudrMs
of men and women who wore drowing tho
1 noise of the ahrf with their cheers. One man
was pouring brand down my throat to revive
mo. I pushed his hand away and looked ar
ound for her. *
There she stood, pale, but, oh, so beautiful
yet; and looking graitude enough out of those
largo black eyes tu pay for death a hundred
tilncs over.
“ £o come up to tho Ocean House, Room
and Parlor No. Ib,".sho said, in her iPusical
voice, '“just as soon as you are able. T- can

Lincoln’s Defeat ConcbOed. —The Alba
ny Statesman, one of the leading Abolition
journals uf Now York, concedes the defeat of
Lincoln. It says ;
“la nominating Gen. McClellan the Deriio
’crpts place their very strongest man in the
field—a man who will poll a larger army
vote than any Democrat who could possibly
bo put in nomination. The abuse which Mc-
Clellan met with in the convention from Mr.
Harris of Maryland, and other traitors of the
amo stamp, cannot fail to.be beneficial to
u ;ho. nominee with the better •'pdrtion of tho
American people. • ♦
“The Democrats having nominated Gener
al McClellan, focros the Republicans to do
one of two tilings— withdraw Mr. Lincoln
Jj'otii the canvass, or else see the Democrats
carry the election by an overwhelming majority.
As j ilr. Lincoln cannot unite the party he
inust be dejedied . ”
;o the defenses of the principles nf civil lib
erty. it will be. ill with ns, nnd those snored
principles will bo lost forever to us. There
fore it is that I come hero to speak to you of
tbo principles of constitutional liberty, and
to denounce the advance of despotism in tbo
administration of one man. More than eigh
toen bnnbred years ago Rome was governed
by three men in the end of that republic.
One was Augustus Caesar, another Mark
Anthony, and the other a noble Roman.—
They were all nf noble blood. And wo ton,
have now our triumvirate—Linobtc, Stanton
andTlalleok ; but, unfortunately, neither of
them can boast d' very high descent. [A
laugh.] I speak with profound respect of
the'powers that bo. [Laughter continued.]
But the parallel was further. There suc
ceeded to Rome an Emperor that could fiddle
and dance when their city was burning.—
AVo also have our Emperor, Lincoln, that
can tell' his stale jokes whilst the land is
running red with the blood oi our brothers
and sene. And must this be received as a
gleam of glory in the future of eat country ?
tVo read in ancient history of the groat city
of the Hebrews, lind that whilst Titus was
daily battering down their walls, the fac
tions Jews were quarrelling among them
selves every night.
But for God's sake don’t lot us bo like the
Jews quarreling amongst ourselves, and de
votiTing one Another in these tunes nf the
extremity of imperiled institutions of free
dom. For mynelf, I tun an old time Henry.
Olay Whig. *My father, was a Whig; and I
expect yet to die a National Whijj;. But at
the same time I toll you all horo, if you pro*
, cood to nominate ft constitutional Union man

(C7* At a Lincoln club just organized in
Washington, the collector of internal revenue
was elected President, an assessor Secretary
of the meeting, and a commissioner of pub
lic buildings was made Chairman of the Ex
ecutive Committee. The district attorney al
so made one speech. A strong sentiment pre
vailed that other office holders must show
their colors, and it Was openly charged that

Clellan men.
I y In Now York, Philadelphia, Newark,
Albany, lludsnn, Rochester, Troy, Buffalo,
Utica, and other eastern cities, one hundred
gUns were, fired in.honor of McClellands uom

lutes were not so numerous, ns the people of
t|iose sections are notalldwod to liny powder.
They can make up the wAnt of it, however,
by huzzaing fdr the anti-Lincoln candidate.
jgf Remember, voters, that the him of the
preseht Administration is for the formation
of a Union that will bo destructive of the
present Constitution. I’liat failing, the Re
publican-Abolition loaders will declare for
the establishment of a Northern republic,"in
which they cun hold on to the reins of Gov

SPEECH OP LESLIE COOMBS, OF KEXTUCKT,
AT THE CJIICARO COXVEXTION. '
The speech of tho occasion was made by
Gen. Leslie Coombs, of Kentucky, Being
introduced, he said:
FEiXmv-CmzßNs—T hope C>r a r ew mo
.niontfl only to havn your attention. An old
soldier nskn it of you in n good cause, for f
think I have a right I * call myself an old
soldier., I have not np.dcou here since years
ago, when the lamented Douglas was here,
;ond the Mayor oi Gincinnatti was hero; and
I said then whatT say now, that I was hero
fir.it in my boyhood, when tho State of s Ohiu
was a frontier &tate, when tho Territories
Northwest wore border territories ; am] your
Chicago crock, I rnmmnher—it is a river
now—and a few buildings wore in tho place
ol your city. It was when our hoys' for tho
first time crossed the Ohio Uivor, and came
to din relief of (ho men of Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana and Illinois. iSo distinct arc mv
recollections of those days, that it,{*ccma al
most that I am speaking of eomebedy else, or
that I am still a hoy.
I saw tliis country when there wore but
few—a settlement hers r.nd there —and now
I come, and l.mjmld “ the city full". The
Qner.n of tho AY eat on the Father of Waters
—and this, f believe, they call it, the Queen
of the Lakes. Having seen these things, my
fellow citizens, yon can imagine lnnv it
weigha heart when f turn me to
. contemplate to night those dark scones of
strife and bloodshed that now shroud our
whole country in gloom. Alas, that I .mould
live to see those evil day*; to think that our
jSouthcrn hrethern .should draw (he sword!

Factions,'That they were throwing fire-balls to
ambitious devils that would turn them on our’
own house, and that thov would **
.1 n ifu \u-ni hup on lire. [Laughter.J
But, sir, allow’ me to say 1 shall live—old
ns I am f shall live to see this strife ended ;
I shall live to see the bonds of national fra
ternity again united ; I shall live to ace this
paper money abated ; this gunpowder cur
rency, which I would not use for wadding to
kill a prairie* chicken., abated and turned in
to gold and silver'. [Applause.] And that
can be don© only by removing tins abomina
ble administration., f state n fact; whan Mr.
Lincoln entered upon his high duties, ! went
to him and told him this: Mr. Lincoln, you
was horn in tho State of Kentucky, and Mrs.
Lincoln also, I believe, and you cannot ho
indifferent to the prosperity of Kentucky,
and that of the whole country, and if you will
proceed to administer the Government trppn
the principles of tlio fathers; upon the prin
ciples of the Constitution and for the pros
perity of tlio whole Jconnlry, [ will support
vour administration. He told mo he would
do so. Bur what followed ?
I was in Washington tho time of tho first
Bull Run fight. There was the call for 7.5,-
Qt)o men—thou for the gioat armies. Then
rivers of blood did How, and have been flow
ing ever since, Hundreds of thousands have
fallen. Almost every house in the land is in
mourning ami yet there is no prospect of
ending 1 the sad strife. Ha- not blood enough
been shed? [Cries of “ Y r os," “yes.".] I
have furnished, from my own family, two ;
one has had two horses, shot from under him,
and the other commanded at Shiloh, I have
furnished my full share of help, and now I
pray to God that this war may terminate. 1
am tired of this war. lam tired of the lam
entations in my ears all around me.
'I tell yon, gentlemen, vou know nothing
of tlio horrors of - ; ills war bore. Ifyou could
see tlio guerrillas pourbig into your villages
and every part of the State, ami citizens liv
ing, as I have seen them in my town, Lex

horrors of tf.is war, And when I hut just

not intend to let any .other n; u: emancipate
tlffeift. [Applause.] So I b my f- m’dy in
the hards of emancipated slaves, for mv ne
groes would not leave me. I tell yoiK I have
seen those guerrilla.' .hargingdown through
town whan it wim vaihor delicate looking out
of the windows, because you could not know
where a bullet might be coming. I left my
family under commanders (hat think the no

the white man a little b»-tUn '.hf nr-grn.
In such a condition I left my manly— the
gnerrilli.s prowling'nronnd, and they tell us
if the government takes imr negroes they
have a yi?;ht to take our horses.
Fellow-citizens. I address you with the
freedom of an old soldier, and I felt that I
might regard myself as a watchman on year
tower,**. And I could desire, when you ask
mo “ Watchman, what of .the night ?” that
I could answer “'all’s well ; jdoep outlet
your babes rest .in quiet.” B.ut now, since
despotism Inns taken’clmrgo of the country,
iuid everything is disregarded except tho will
of one man, if I am asked now, “Watchman,
what of tho night?” I must answer, “ All's
ill.” Yes, sir, I tell yon all’s ill now, unless

ohUlaptist, too, baptised all over in running

ho bo otherwise a constitutional Union man,
I will voto for him for all that. [Laughter
and applause.] Shall I tell you. gentlemen,
what further we have had in Kentucky to
make us tired of military rule. It was hut
two days before our late August election that
a military commander in our State issued an
order (bat one.of ymr candidate# for Judge

didaVr?) should not he aoandidate, and wo
submitted under the stress of bayonets.
li.it wo rallied and nominated another
gentleman and .succeeded, and elected him
over the negro candidate. [Applause.] I
mention this in view ef the fact that we have
another election ifi Kentucky next November
and, will vote then'us we did in August, ami
car i*3' our candidate U/si 11 our thousands.—
(Oop/inucd applause.) Sir. ( nm a freeman.
I will Vote. iVhv not? It is my right.—
I’lo you think I will fail to exercise m v right ?
I will vote-or die. Ami Kentucky will voto

ofnext Monday's convention hy fifty thousand

do it. and report ourselves r.£ h' , !idqr.r.iters in

oppressive and ruining the country, .v/iU he

upon the mountains to fall upon them and

[Cheers.]

HOW TO MAKE i-EAOE.
We are sure that tho atiouimn m ovary rea
der was arrested hy the fullmvir ; observa
tions of tbo New York• Tribune. w* contained
ia the extract which we cited fn<:n that pa
per, along with others, ia our number of yes- (
tenhiy: "
“ We do not know, and have not meant to >
affirm, that on immediate pet (lean nt of our
national troubles is perfectly feasible ; Imt
tve fid carfain that two-thirds of ih“ American
people on either side of (he diruiho? hue anx
iously, nbsorbinyly desire peace, and arc ready 1
io wnhe all sacrifices to insure it, ' Then ichy
shall it he tony 1 cdh-hehl f Lri ns huotv as somt
a. y may be, the most that (he rebel clrbf 1 nil do
io semre peace; Ictus next ascertain ichnt is
the " uttiinntuni" ca our side; ami. if the dif
ference between these ia material, let as tight
all the harder till ope side or the other is rea
dy to make tho ’needful concession. It is
high time matters were coining to a point.”
. If, as the Tribune affirms, tw.j-tliSrds of the
American people, on each side "1 the divi
ding line, “ anxiously, absorbingly desire
peace, ami are ready to male** all ncodfnll sac
rifices to insure it,” the turthcr ’continu
ance of the war is a reproach to tho author
ities who stand in too way of ver.lirhig this
ardent wish of tho country. A cnt\rding to
the view of tho Tribune , the nal.mn is cheat
' ed nut of peace hy the n I:wi! liugnoss or the
inability <.f tho ineft ’if,'; awe <m each sale of
I the I'nc to “ansiruH, absorbing
desire” of their i‘oun\ryi" p n - and yet, with
singular inconsistency, the 'irthune proposes
to remit the question of peace Into tho hands
of 1 ha •* rebel chid'” on the mu> able and of
Fiesldeut Lincoln on the other; for when it
says “ lot us know, so romi as may bo, tlie
most that the rebel chief will do to secure
peace,” and immediately adds “ let us next
ascertain what is the ultimatum on our side,
we suppose it intends to leave the ultimatum
nf the loyal States to he fixed by Mr. Lincoln,
as it assumes that the ultimatum of tho so
coded Slates is to be Used hy Mr. Davis.
\Vo have many and,,us we conceive, weigh
ty objections to this prepo-hum, If “ two
thirds of tho people <»n each side ot the divi
ding lino anxiously, absorbingly desire peace
and arc ready to vmkc aU needful! sacrifices
to insure it,” wo must insist that tho terms
and conditions of peace should he ascertain
ed and concerted by tho people themselves.
Wo already know the “ ultimatum” of Air.
Lincoln, ami this being such.as to leave no
hope of peace during bis administration, wo’
are not nt all curious to know the “ ultima
tum” of Air. Davis, which we ‘think it very
likely would as little reflect the popular will
and wish on his side, as tho President has
little reflected tho popular will and wish on
our side by the supplementary condition ho
has announced as . the ground on which ho
will receive any proposition looking to “peace
and the integrity of tho Union.” If peace
is to be secured its terms must bo acortiuned
by those who, as the Tribune says, “ are w ill"
ing to make all needful sacrifices to ” I^ vc
it”—that is bt the people themselves, w ho,
but tho people on each side can determine
what eacrificras they deem to be “ ncedlul
fur the assurer restoration of peace? wc
are very sure \hat two-thirds ui tho people
.on our side of tb\“ dividing line” would have
no hesitation in\“sacrificing” many .things
which’PresidentyLinooln is nob prepared to
sacrifice, in order wo secure peace. Ho is so
hampered by bis “proclamations” and pledg
es that of ail men ye is must disqualified to
i approach the consideration of this subject,
for what 'audience could be expect to receive
from tho people of the seceded Stp.fcaa in com
mending to their adhesion term.;, which, it is
i safe to say, are considered hy,a majority cf
, tho people oven in the loyal Whites to be as
• little proper for tho President t<> offer as they
. are little likely to be (iccepoted by the par
r ties to wlidni they are addrcsseiU .
It is clear to our minds, therefore, that it
k any negotiations are to bo set on foot with n
. view to peace, they must be preceded by n
i cbatw'o of front on tho part of those who ui
r yect Sx% ami Adminigtratipu of W country.
The present policy of the Government on the
I conduct of the war must lie reversed by a re
turn to tho principles and maxims which
have been left out of sight in what the New
York Times calls the “ blind, race of radical
ism and barbarism.' ” IVe know that Presi
dent Lincoln does not yet perceive tho neces
sity of such a reversal. On fhe contrary, he
Jias within tho last few weeks committed him
*Bolf by hid late manifesto moro expressly than
ever before to the logical conclusions of. the
policy.that now dictates tho'ends and objects
of the war.
But, apart from all questions persons or
( f forms, it seems to. us, as we have already
intimated, that if tho pimple are ripe for
peace they should bo allowed to express their
wishes and views to that effect,. with the least
possible • indirectness or. cenfnaion resulting
from tho intervention of third parties. And
now how shall this bo accomplished?
As thcrewore many who, at the beginning
of the secession agitation, avowe I their will
ingness to refer all question** at issue between
“ the North” and “ the Suu’lh” to the arbitra
tion of a . National ’Convention, so nfcvejy
stage of the war which has followed it bos
been supposed that, whatever might .be its
result, a National Convention would he call
ed to re-adjust our organic policy with refer
ence to the altered relations left My the war.
Ami it regard bo had to the rulijeet-mafter
of the dissections out. of which the war grew, ■
it would seeiq that they could, in substance
and in firm, bo-moat properly allayed by a
free conference of the Skates composing the
Union. The foundations of (ho l(nion, were
laid by such.a (Jonventhm, and it is the only
body which is competent to re-a I.}lists the ba
ses of that Union,. A.portion ol die people
in the States have weight to subvert these
bases hy violence, and violence on the one
side has heggotten violence on the other, nn- |
til, in the confusion of the horrid iray, it
would seem that we have forgotten every, ctli
".V.'i’PAi'".!?. 0 . V:Vf- Convention
is practicable in the present aspect of our po
litical uiVaivs. And if this aspect could be
changed, it might soon appear that none was
ncccssnrv for lho purpose of bringing about
arpructioal fcstoratien of the constitutional
relation uf all the Stales to the National Gov
ernment, And so far as our own views ex
tend in this direction, we should not care to
see a resort to this expedient until it shuf.ld
he demonstrably clear that the great mass of
the people of the South are no less disaffec
ted toward “ the Constitution as it is and the
Union as it was”, than wo know to he the case
with the anti-slavery party at the North.
T n that' event, with «uch c. concurrence
of antagonisms to the “old Union,” wo
should despair of i’ts restoration. But as wo
have recently seen a grout reaction in puldic
sentimental the North, wo arc not
the hope that, under auspices calculated to
produce ‘t, there might he an equal reaction
at the South.-—dispensing with the nccjsslty
of culling a ArAiop.al Convention, ft could
he called only by the concurrent voice of the
1/i'gir.laturcH uf two thirds of the States uni
ting in tins request at the hands of Congress,
and it would hive to ho preceded by nn ar
mistice for a period long enough to permit
its assemblage. But a National Convention
is “ impossible,” and If, au aruustico im
possible,” what solution of our complication
can commend Itself *to the claim of bmng
“possible?" President Lincoln and Con.
’Jefferson Davis Imvo no right or power to
settle between themselves the terms on
winch the nation shall have peace, except
as the former shall ask what lluj latter shall
agree to accept —that is a return of the sece
ded States to their allegiencc under the Con
stitution, with all the rights and duties de
fined hy time instrument. But as the terms
uf Mr, Lincoln ignore the constitutional
rifhta uf the seceded States, and as the terms
of ueii. Jefferson Davis ignore’ their constitu
tional duties* it is plain that negotiations be
tween the President and the “ rebel chief,"
according to the idea of the ’Tribune, arc
“ impossible.”
Wo question whether in the present stage
of the war there are many who believe that
the policy of “ subjugation mid ('•.'.termination
and coattscatioji” is among the possibilities
of our situation, and those who uttered those
words, under the delirium of Miolr sectional i
phron/.y, aro fast comjng to rpcak in a mure
ratufoal and sober dialect.
Like the Tribune, wo do nr.l disguise from
ourselves the dillieulties of t-hs.prims. Y/ith
it, we do notnflirm that ” immediate ~qtile
mcnr ef our national troubles h perfectly,
feasible, but, as on a farmer occasion we
know It avowed a readme*?! to eco a Nation
al Convention called at the cVse ot tho war
it has occurred to us that i ur contemporary,
in whom wo recognize a no less sincere than
influential advocate of peace, might ho wil
ling to accept this arbitrament (>r the pur*
po.se ol dosing the war itself. As prelimin
ary to such a conleronji of the Stales ’.t
would Ijo entirely proper fqr "President Lin
coln (or ii is successor.) to open, negotiations
with Gen. Jelfcruon Davis ha* an a-rmirtice,
based on the principle of uti pouxidcjitt during
tho term of its eoncinuem'O. ami which should
be concluded fur a period Jyu«t enough to
admit of such a conference; 'ibr, as the
President is C./innmnder-ia-Ciiiot of tho Ar
my and Navy of the United States, and na
General Jefferson Da via is “tho authority
which controls llie armies at wav against tho
United Stares,” it would bo out indy cumpe
tent iur them to conclude an amdalieo with
ibis end in view.
Wo shall not be suspected of wishing to
turn the thoughts of any from tho things that
make for peace when wo Bay that it is possi
ble for the patrons of this boon to allow their
zeal to outtrun their discretion. It is easy
to cry “peace, peace,”‘when there is no
peace; for, as Napoleon once, in substance
said, 4 ‘Poac?o is a word—tho conditions of
pcuco are everywhere.” When tho fountains
of the great deep have been broken up as
they have been in this distracted country, it
would bo idle to expect an immediate and
total subsidence, of tho surging waters. ; la
the days of the Hebrew monarchy under King
David, the sacred historian records that “tho
children of Isaachar were men that
derstanding of tho times to know lsr
ael ought to do.” Our country is perishing
for tho want of men like the. children of Is
eachnr—-men who havja. understanding of tho
times to know what tho nation should do.

weakened by the blind aud malicious jealousy,
of Mr, Lincoln and Ida War Secretary, the
result would have been tho capture of Rich

and Europe.

of “ treason.’.' It Is full of wise suggestions
to Mr. Lincoln. Ha l tho latter heeded its

to tho demands of Ins malignant War Secre

“ In prosecuting the war, all private prop

protected, subject only to rho necessity of mil
itary operations ; all private property taken
fur military nso should bo paid or receipted
for; pillage and waste should he treated as

The r’ght of the (.Jovcriinumt to appropriate

thus working niaunmihsion in such State ;
and in Missouri, perhaps in Wo.deru Virgin*

it would commend itself to tho favor cf tho

“ Until the principles governing the future
conductor our struggle should be made known
and approved, the effort to obtain n requisite
force will bo almost hopeless, A declaration
of radical views) .especially upon tho subject

must be supported by concentrations of mil
