The following document in parnph
let form, was recently circulated :a
mong the members of the Ohio Lees
lature, to counteract their Lincoln
tendencies. It is openly said to be an
emanation from the Chase commit
tee at Washington, and to have been
;printed by thein in that city
, for gen
eral circulation :
The effort now making to forestall
the action of the Republican Nation
al Convention by procuring the for
mal nomination of Mx. Lincoln in
,State Legislatures and other public
bodies, is deeply to be deplored.
The more so, -because this move
ment originates with the recipients
of executive favor and patronage,
some of whum. bold high stations in
the. Administration of Mr. Lincoln,
whose object is to perpetuate their
own power and means ,of pecuniary
advancement, without any regard
whatever to the welfare ,of, the,coun
try. While these nominations are
made to appear as though they ema
'nated from the spontaneous will of
the, people,, the animus in reality is toll,
defeat their will altogether, by pro
ducing such a public clamor in behalf
of Mr. Lincoln, as to prevent the as
sembling of the National Convention
at all ; or - if it should assemble, to
force his nomination upon the coun
try, irrespective of the' popular will.
In time of civil warrviith all its at
tendant calamities, the attempt to
advance the personal interest and am
bition of any one man, or number of
men, without regard to the public
good, deserves and should receive uni•
versa! condemnation.
To the. proper • discussion of Mr.
Lincoln's claim to. be made a:.candi
date for the next Presidential' term,
there can be no reasonable objection
.but it ia the people, and not Mr. Lin
coliyand bis dependenta, who should
decide upon his claim. -! •
While the great body of the Amer
ican people have everything at stake
upon the. right adininistration of the
Government, they have really no per
sonal - interest in its patronage.—
Therefore,•they are the only disinter
ested party to select the Presidential
candidate without interference from
Executive influence. •
But now it is too early to 'commit
the people to the fortunes of any
Presidential aspirant. The issues of
War are ever uncertain, and though
we haveoveryreason to hope our gal
lant , armies may have destroyed the
rebel power before the meeting of the
convention, they may not. At all e
vents the peOple will be much better
prepared todecide this question three
or four months hence, than they can
possibly be to-day. •
Already has this premature action
alienated many of the - friends of free
dom, who belieVe that' even with 'a
fair nomination in a full convention,
Mr. Lincoln cannot be rocketed to
the Presidency.
There are many solid 'reasons in
.thevery philosophy - of Representa
_
Lion of a President lor n seeeini term
The unbounded popilarity of Gen
eral Washington during his adminis
tration, conviuced the Atnerican peo
ple that had he been ICBB than Wash
ington, he might., by the patronage
of office, have subverted the liberties
of the co4ntry by procuring his own
election periodically tor'life.
The want of a ecinstitu'lonal liml
tation to the number of terms to
which a President might be eligible
was then felt to be a serious defect.
Washington participated ,in this
sentiment, and peremptorily refused
to allow himself to be elected fora
third term ;.and his decision furnish
ed a precedent which had all the force
of a constitutional restriction.
Puring the domination' of the Re.
publican party, from Jefferson to.
Monroe, the practice of the President
nominating himself for the second
term, and then his successor,, through
the machinery of a caucus, which.vir
tually transferred the power of elec
tion from the people to the Adminis
tration, was becoming a precedent
which threatened the subversion of
Republican liberty.
General Jackson, in order to main
tain the independence of the elective
franchise became the candidate of
the peopi 7 e in, opposition to this caucus
system, and though defeated at first,
was, in 1828, triumphantly elected
against the powerful patronage of the
Gover,nment. From that day no
President, until Mr. Lincoln s - ever at.
tempted to revive that odious sys
tem of having himself nominated
without consulting the people in a
National Convention.
General Jackson was made a can
didate by , the people for a second
term against his will, and elected
with unparalleled unanimity. Yet,
such was the unbounded enthusiasm
he inspired, that Jackson saw, as did
overy reflecting man, that the danger
to liberty which occurred under
Washington's adminiotration was re-
pealing itself. , •
And so, utterly opposed was that
stern patriot to use of patronage for
the purpose of .procuring• re-election
to the Presidency, that .ho' laid down
the one term principle as a fundamen
.tal doctrine in our democratic system
and it became a part of the political
creed of the people '•• so strong, that
no President from that day has been
re-eleeted, and probably never will be
by a fair expression of the popular
will.
"If President Lincoln, in defiance of
the teachings of Jackson, in violation
of the great principle which underlies
our democratic institutions, and in
tbe face of the solemn warnings of
history, can now so wield his patron-.
age. as to secure , his election,. for a
second term, who so blind. as not to
40 that four years hence he will have
less difficulty in securing his election
fora third term ? For with an army
of more than half a million of citizen
soldiers under his command, add an
annual patronage of a' thousand mil
liona of Money tie eta' if - he has due
half the brain attributed to him by
hie friends, have himself elected from
term to term during his natural
life.
If the "military necestitY" Ilupplies
a reason now for his nomi'n'ation, and
the extraordinary patronage occasion
ed by ttire•wur furnishes the 'Means of
!hi:voice - don, as a matter of course his
interest is the.n to probing the war,
as a means of perpetuating his power.
'No man with the patriotism of a
Washington era Jacks - on, would seek
to place himself in a position where
his interest and personal ambition
would be coincident with the contin
uance of the rebellion and the perpet
uity of the war.
But aside from the• consideration,of
the second term • principle, there is
still another and more forcible objec
tion to the nomination
.of „Kr. Lin
coln.
The people have lost all confidence
in his ability to surpress the rebellion
and restore the Union. It is impossi
ble to put out of view the fact that
there is a general feeling of disap
pointment in the loyal North, that
after such a wasting of its. precious
blood, and such avast expenditure of
treasure, the rebellion continues on
subdued and alt the promises of the
Administration, time and again, for
its speedy overthrow have been falsi
fied.
The truth is, that there is 'no man
who does. not wear the livery of office,
or is not in the pay of the General
Government, who doea not feel mor
tified and humbled that our nation,
with its , twenty millions of loyal peo- .
ple in the North, with four millions
of auxiliaries in the South, to say
nothing, of a ,large tost of Union men
there, has not succeeded yet in over
throwing the insolent slave oligarchy,
which does' not number five millions
all told,
How is it that Jefferzon Davis, with
his slender resources, without a navy,
without manufactories, is still defiant
at:Richmond, and bas twice sent: his
rebel hordes across the. Potomac, put
tingin jeopardy even the personal lib
erty of Mr. Lincoln himself ?.
It is impossible to: prevent the
American people from making humit
luting comparisons between the rebel
chief and the President of the United
States. They will understand why
this condition of thirigs exists at the
end of the third year of Mr. Lincoln's
term: The fault is not in the want
of intelligence and bravery on the
part of our soldiers, or the skill of
our officers. For both soldiers and
officers have proven on many a: battle
field that in endurance . and valor,
and all the plemehts which constitute
the-great soldier, they are equals if
not the superiors of the rebels-.
. It - will not do to throw the blame
upon the country, for it has furnished
all the 'Men .and nil the money the
President has askecL
It will net do to charge it upon the,
rebel sympathizers at; the North, for
they have had no Means of interfering
with the orders of the
The responsibility rests alone upon
him. He tins been iweak arid 'vacila-
Ono throughout, seemingly incapable
of settling upon any definite line of
policy in regard to the rebellion.
Two theories_ in->d to it have,
One is, that the Southern States are
still States of the American Uaion*;
that their several constitutions and
laws, though silent iri the presence of
the rebel power, Upon the sup
pression of the rebellion, revive, and
the people return to their former
rights.
The other theory that they are
no longer States in the American
Union, in the sense of the Constitu
tion, but the rebellion having acquir-,
ed the strength and !consistency of a
belligerent power, the status of the
entire population, has been changed
from citizens tQaliebs, and they do
not, return to their Tights upon the
stippressionOi the rebellion, but on•
ly to such as the supreme legislative
power may give them.
Had, Mr. Lincoln adopted either
one of these theories, and adhered to
it vigorously, he might long since
have ended the rebellion.
Had he chosen the first, ho could,
before this, have brought back the
States, with their institutions and
laws, slaves and all.
Had he adopted the other, and sus
tained Fremont and Hunter, the
friends of freedom knew, that the
rebel armies might long ago have
been overthrown, and the whole reb
el territory in possession of the Uni
ted States,• with the ,manaeles of
every slave stricken off, from the
Susquehanna to the Rio Grande.
. _
This vacillation and indecision of
the President, bus been the real cause
why our well appointed armies have
not succeeded in the destruction of
the rebellion.
He has constantly been going be
tween these two theories, taking no
positive ground for either, but hold
ing on to the skirts of both.
Whatever from the febleness of his
will, which has been unequal to the
alternate pressure of the respective
leaders of theee theories, or whether
from the want of intellectual grasp,
he Vas really been unable to compre
bi3ild their philosophy, or from the
want - 6f political pymeiple and indif.
ferenee to truth, he has iii u that
species of cunning, which character
izes a certain class of lawyers, sought
to ride both theories, for the purpose
of securing his re-election,
The cant about “Honest Old Abe"
was at first amusing; it then 'became
ridiculous,"bat now it is absolutely
criminal.
Honesty signifies nothing unless
there is a capacity to wield the pow
er. In the language of Wendell Phil
ips—who cares for the honesty of the
President, unless he is capable; it is
not honesty but capacity that is
wanted.
When the ration again places in
the hands of a commander-in..chief
the lives of all its abled-bodied men,
and all its Anatolial wealth, it will
want a better guarantee than the
antecedents of our jocular President
furnish, and that the power will be
wielded ably, efficiently and surely,
for the Remetnity orthe Union.
Stibuld Mr., Lincoln be forced upon
the country in 'defiance of the better
judgment of the Republican party,
and the Democratic party be .judi
cious in planting a candidate for the
prosecttion of the war, upon the first .
theory above indicated, (which is
their theory), Mr. Lincoln will be
most-unquestionably defeated, unless
be should be tempted in an evil boor,
to use the military power in his
hands by suppressing the freedom o 1
elections in the loyal States. A vic
tory won by the.sword would be no
victory, but a lamentable defeat to
the friends of liberty.
A convention of patriots, if wish,
will never nominate for the Presiden
cy a military leader in actual conn•
mend of an army, much less thecom-.
mander-in.chief, who has more thit ; ,,
half a million soldiers under his com
mand, and if necessary to success,
might have a million before the next
Presidential election.
The teniptation to a military can
didate to use the sword to secure his
own election is too great, the warn
ings of history too impressive, for the
American people ever voluntarily to
consent to so hazardous an experi•
merit.
Never before in, our history has
such a comhination of high qualities
been required as will be needed in
the administration of the government
for .the next four years.
The war has created a debt the
Magnitude of which is astounding to
consider. The interest alone Will op
press the people for scores of years
'to come; at the same time the
means of discharging tbe debt will,
by .the necessary operations of the
war, have, been fearfully weakened.
So many hundred of thousands of men
have been called from.their industrial
pursuits never to return to them
.; so
much of the material wealth of the
country has been destwyed ; so
many fields for the production of its
great staples laid waste ; indeed its
whole labor system has been - prevert
ed or disorganized !
To recover the nation from this
state of utter exhaustation, and re
store it to its wonted prosperity, will
demand an order of intelligence
which is bestowed upon but few men
in any country at the same time, and
the mightiest intellect in our land
might well tremble in assuming such
responsibility. We want in our corn
ing President an advance thinker; a
statesman profoundly versed'in polit
ical and economic science ; one who
fully understands the spirit of the
age in which we live.
'MISDEDENATION" IN DETROIT,
[From the Detreit Fiee Press, Feb. 28th.]
Yesterday afternoon an unusual
commotion was created on Griswold
street, occasioned by a fight between
a couple of white soldiers and one of
Colonel 13arns's soldiers. The par
tiesmet on Lamed street, where:high
words were spoken, and some blows
struck. One of the 'white soldiers
struck the negro and went off a short
distance., The negro turned- round
and pitched into the remaining one,,
who it appears bad the least to say
in the matter. The, other -then re
turned to finish the fight, when the
negro drew a revolver and struck
him a severe blow in the face; knock
.
heels 'and ran out to - Griswold street,
down towards Jefferson avenue, fol.,
lowed by the : others and a' large
crowd. When thee negro arrived at,
the Corner,ke ran behind some of the
bystanders and claimed their protect
tion, at the same time flourishing,his•
revolver, swearing he would 'shoot
any man who - molested him. In a
few moments. a largoiernwd had as
sembled, and matters begari to wear
the aspect of a street fight ; when of
ficer IL Sullivan worked his
way in and put- the "bracelets" on
the negroes and marched them off to
jail, at the same time securingthe re,
volfer.
About the same time another and,
far more serious row • was going on,
at a place•called Buckner's, on Crog
han street.- .It appears that an offi
cer was attempting: to arrest a white
woman - in a - colored house of ill-fame,
when a general rescue was commenc
ed by colored .soldiers- and others.
Revolvers.and bayonets:were drawn;
and Officer Woods, who bad made
the arrest, was forcibly compelled to
release his prisoner at the point of
the bayonet. Pistols were presented
at the heads of citizens who endea
vored to assist the officers, and for a
while the free American citizens of
African descent had it all their own,
way in defiance of all law and .order.
They ^poured onttheir vials of wrath
in unmeasured terms upon the heads
of all,. the ,white trash in existence,
accompanied with threats of violence
if they were interfered, with. Subse
quently some of the ringleaders went
off to the barraeks, whither they
were followed by an officer having
authority to arrest them. : Upon ar
riving at the barracks the officer call
ed nylon those in authority there for
the - transfer of certain parties to the
civil authorities. :Colonel. Barns,
promptly gave his consent, and told
the deputy sheriff's to*take with them
such as they were in quest of—but'
the negroes 'determined that ::this
should not be done, and by their vio
lence compelled the two deputies to
beat a retreat to the Coloa,pl's quar
ters, wliare•they held a council. of war
with the officers of the Regiment
present. Shortly after a demand was
made by someof the colored soldiers
for the delivery to them of the two
deputies,'remarking to Colonel' Barns
that if they were not given - up,
"they'd tar do shanty clown." This
request was not complied with, but
officer Sullivan, arniecl with a revol
ver; stepped out, • and asked who it
was Wanted him. This dodge did
not' , have the desired •effect, as their
blood was up and they were ripe for
anything. One of them started for
Sullivan, but was collared by . Colonel
B. who promptly Sent him to the
guard house. The'fate of their 'cOm
rade only exasperated the rest, 'and
;there is no doubt but that blood
would have' been shed had not the
-otticer ehaugedbase, and come to the
pity for reinforcementbt While, leav
ing 'camp-they . Were, followed 'out
the road bythe•sOldierti,.'bat snceed- •
ed in 'effecting -their 'escape without
any serious results, and came to the
city for more help.
During the entire afternoon the
indications of a general row were ap
parent around the locality and in. the
vicinity of the jail. Svc of the col
ored soldiers threaten‘d that they
would bring down the whole regi
ment and release any of their friends
who might be confined there.

- Who Will be the Thirteenth f--The
.
Paris'. correSpOndent of the Chicago
Times says there is in that city at
this time a very lcively, very charm
ing young lady, who is destined by
extraordinary fate to go through the
world without being married. She is
a dark beauty, with magnificent
eyes, a glowing cheek, a lively ex
pression, a graceful . figure—in fact,
altogether endowed with every at
traction, even to that of having in
her own right $500,000, and being an
only daughter, with the prospect of
inheriting millions. This lady is
now about - twenty-six years old, and
has been engaged to be married
twelve times- Each time the unfor
tunate lover has died within a few
weeks of the time appointed for the
nuptial ceremony. Yet -no suspicion
of dagger and bowl can be cast upon
the fair one, a dark, mysterious fatal
ity-has carried them away. Several
'died of typhoid fever;, one was killed
in a duel; one was thrown from a
horse; two, were drowned; two
were killed by railroad accidents,
and one—hung himself. The lady
has survived all these shocks. Thir
,teen may be for her the fortunate,
and not-the fatal number. Who will
try?
Another Curious and Fatal Disease.
Clarion papers state that a fa
tal disease has broken out in that
county, and many homeis have re
cently been desolated. The first in
dications of the presence of this dis
ease is noted by a sudden trembling
of the body and arms, which is fol
lowed by slight symptoms of fever,
and paralysis of arms and lower
limbs, with severe pains in the back,
-and finally the vision becoMes affect
ed.' Several physicians have been
called in, but are unable to determine
the diagnosis of the disease. It is
neither typhoid nor spotted fever, and
they are unable'to arrive at any con
clusion as to its nature. Its action
throughout resembles -the effect of
some powerful narcotic poison in the
system.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany are experimenting with steel
rails and steel capped rails: - The first
cost is Mach greater than that of iron
railS,:but it is claimed, that in the end
they are cheaper,' that4ey are less
liable to - break, that better time can
be Made on them, and that the wear
of the rolling stock is less.
