USHERINGIN oF :OM NEW YEAR-, 2 7RE=
LIGIOUSOBSERVANCES.—Yhe usheriiig in
of the New Year was. appropriately ob
served in the Moravian and Methodist
Churches of this city.
The watch-night service in the Moravian
Church, West Orange street, was conducted'
in an impressive and interesting manner.
At i l l o'clock the church was crowded with
the members and many of other denomina
tions. Immediately as the midnight clock
tolled the knell of the departing year a'
voluntary was played on the organ, after
which at hymn was sung by the choir.
After a brief and eloquent exhortation
frdm the pastor, Rev. Bishop Bigler, another
hymn was sung by the c hoir, accompanied
by the organ and Refibr's full orchestra.
The exercises were concluded with prayer,
singing of the doxology and the benedic
tion. At one o'clock the exercises were
over, and general salutations took place
among the congregation, each one wishing
the other "a leappy New Year." It is
a time-honored custom among the Mo
ravians, but has not been observed for many
yean: in the church of this city. We think
the congregation will thank their pastor,
who is one of the Bishops of the 'Moravian
Church, for again introducing one of their
oldest and most in' cresting, customs.
_
In the First M. E. Church, North Duke
street, watch-night service commencedat9l
o'clock, which was kept up until the New
Year was ushered in. As the clock struck
the hour of twels'{-, the pastor and congre
gation, on bendedtk aces, sang-the Covenant
Hymn. The exercises consisted of a short
and appropriate sermon by the pator, and
singing and prayer. This is an old custom
in the Methodist Church, and has always
been observed in the churches of that de
nomination in this city.
In St. Paul's M. E. Church,
street, services Ns.,l , held. large I
ermgregation was present. who were deeply
interested in the exercises.
In :ill the churches iii the rite yesterday
we believe appropriate reference Was 1115110 •

people certainly are reasonable enough not
to find any fault.
l'Airrms To A :It'rr.ks NV rrsEssEs.-Within
a very short tilde it has been discovered that
in an appropriation bill passed by Congress
On the 2,1 of July, there occurs the
following proviso to the third section :
"Provided that in the courts or th,
States there shall he no exclusion of any
witness tat account of 0010 r, nor, in civil or
tiop, because he is n fin'ily to or illteo , s l, l in
.the issue trionl. - This introduces into the
United states courts the practice now in
faire in England, where plaintiff:lml defen
41ant can I w examined in their oWII Oases,
NVIIOII on trial. The innovation appears to
have escaped the notice of nearly all the
members of the bar until a short time since.
Before the adjournment of the last ten, or
the Nisi Prins, at Philadelphia, ustice
Head referred to the net and expresse , l th e
hope that the Legislature at its coming ses
sion would adopt the system for the State
Courts. Ile had, he said carefully examin
ed the English reports since the a4loption of
the practice in England, and he nowhere
found an}- 001111;111illt ; 011 the contrary
appeared to be or great :Id yam age,
and there were eases reported where the
plaintiff had lost his case in consemtence of
his examination betbre the jury under oath.
Baron Parke, who at one time was opposed
to the practice, now concedes that it has
been of advantage to all interesteil.
LEAD PEN , ll,S w —tine Of the syMbOis of
an editor's sane Pam is :t lead pencil. So
essential in the 11121101'111ance Of our daily
duties, and so touch used, we have daily re
gretting that the quality of late years is so
very inferior. Like had pens, poor. lead
pencils are responsible for a great deal of
when the is
at your elbow with his inexorable and re
morseless cry " more copy!—a demand
which a scratchy and brittle pencil very
seriously interferes with our capacity to
supply.
The material which forms a pencil is
graphite, commonly called black lead. It
is often styled a carburet of iron, but is not
a chemical compound—usually containing
about b per cent. of carbon, with the rest
iron. Indeed there are ninny specimens
obtained which contain no trace of iron.
Graphite is highly valuable, and, in the
English mines, probably the most valuable
in the world, the most careful provisions
against larceny are made. The workmen
engaged in dressing and assorting the
mineral when taken out of - the mines, are
locked up in a room, with a watchman
keeping guard over them with two loaded
blunderbusses. IVe suppose the reason
of the inferior quality of pencils is from the
Manufacture of graphite. It used to be
calcined and then sawn up in strips of the
requisite size. Now it is ground up, cal
cined, and then mixed with fine levigated
clay, to be worked up into a paste. Lamp
black is sometimes added to the clay. The
pendils thus manufactured are • of inferior
quality. ' • •

ASSAULT ON A MESISTEIL—The
8 of Friday evening last contained a
ous article, copied from that vile
11 sheet, the Harrisburg Telegraph,
l'epres
seurrill
II( ssini
on the Rev. Daniel Steck, formerly pastor
of St. John's Lutheran Church of this
city, and a devoted and esteemed minister
of the gospel. Since then the Dayton Empire
has come to hand, and a communication
appears in it which puts the affair in an en
tirely different light. As an act of justice
to Mr. S., who has hosts of friends in this
city. and to show the reason for the Tele
g 1)11.4 attack, we give below the corn
uuunir•atioi entire
E , litOr Empi re : The editor of the
Dayton Journal lacking the manliness to
puidish the fol lowing communication, which
appeared in the Re/igious Telescope, - in an
swer to a scurrillous attack of that paper
es engaged in the enterprise
•h in this city, and the same
upon the parth
of a new (inn,.
being greedily copied into . the Joitrierd, and
also the comments of the editor of the Tele-.
scope upon this communication, (everything
of a political character being purposely
ay,iiiled in the communication as being
irrelevant, will you please copy into your
paper the article referred to, so that the_
public may inure fully understand the mo
ti of the parties misrepresenting us, and
\rim thereby serve the devil "under the
g uise of
TO till! Editor 14% the "Ildwious Telenope: -
tii it—ln your paper of the 21st inst., there
is:ut article appearing editorially, headed
•• ledcral I iemocratic Church, - which
does gross injustice to tlie parties engaged
in the organization of another Lutheran
Chord' in this city; and you must have
heeniquirely inishtlirineil as to the purpose
of the parties concerned. or you wo u ld
surely not bay' Marie the 1111rharitabl0 re
inarKs thud you did in regard to the matter.
Believing that you would not intentionally
" hear false witness against your neighbor,"
I WV ask of you, as an act of justice, the pub
lication the following facts, which will,
•
0:(111aill t. the PIWIll• SOllle Of the causes
that have led to the organization of the new
•inn,.ll, and the purposes of those engaged
in it. . . .
It is not, as your article implies, a move
ment to introduce politics, as an element,
into zinv religious or;_uznization, but it is tat
effort in the directly contrary direction. it
is to rcinzke that species of political intoler
ance a high 11115 expelled Mr. Steck from
his charge and o Mich, if endorsed and ap
proved of he the Christians of this com
munity, anal lead to -the rupture of other
congregations. and to the most unfortunate •
results- ti at it may not he improper to state
that there are many 1110111herS ill all 4/1 . the
Christian churches of this city, and else
where, who are Democrats, and who are
none the less I rtle 1111 1 11111 Ile
c,lllll.
>lcuilt of that political party sub
scribed litterally and cheerfully to the
erection of the now Lutheran Church just
1•0111111Ctl'il on Main street, hoping therelw
to have a cot nfort a I do and pleasant house in
w l i ich they anti th,•ir families could worship
the t lad itr their lathers, and they were still
willing to I,lltrillllte their means and in
tluence to the promotion of the harmony
and tiseculness of that organization; but
they could not regard it ;is either brothetiy
or just to 111'1,4 ral • iZell from the church they
liclpc.l ti, 'Mild liN" having political tests
introduced, which has led to the expulsion
thttot faith f ul and 'efficient pastor, and
themselves thus stigmatized because they
not entertain views upon political
tt.2. - recin: with those of the Church
Cuuneil.
The removal of Mr. Steck was wholly
disconnected from any charges imputing to
him unfaithfulness di . unfitness in his con
duct as a pastor; his faithfulness and fit
ness being approved 'by all. Ills offense
consisted simply and entirely in the quiet
enjoyment of tic political sentiments differ
ent from 'those entertained by the Church
Coomil, and the exercise of the right of
suffrage ;I,l,rdiligh) the dictates of his own
judgment :LIM conscience.
It was earnestly hoped. by many, that,
after the subsidence • •t . the excitement natur
ally incident to an important presidential
election, we would—turd especially those
professing Christianity—be inclined to kind
lier and more charitable dispositions, and
greater tolerance in regard to political dif
ferences, as it is impossible, even were it
desirable, for allalike ; and it can
not but I••• deplore all right-thinking
men, that this intolerant spirit should first
display itself' in one of the leading and
m•st influential churches in our city.
The sympathy for Mr. Steck, who is the
victim of this unchristian spirit, will notbe
confined to those who agree with him politi
cally, either inside or outside of the church,
but will extend to the liberal and enlight
duet I Christians of all denominations in
this community, and elsewhere; and, in
withdrawing our membership from ;the
First Evangelical ;Lutheran Church, find
in organizing St. John's Church, we live
not bee'n acluated by any unchristian
Pectin g toward those with whom we were
forillerly associated, but an unwillingii . ess
to • sulonit to a spirit of political intolerance,
which, if allowed to go unrebuked, must
prove tfital to all religious organizations
and destroy their influence for good-11MA
loose the very bonds of our social system,
and arouse antagonisms which would eYen
mai ly involve us in violence and ruin. We
disclaim all connection with any political
party, and desire only the preaching, of the
gospel of Christ and the advancement of
Iris kingdom. Such is our purpose and aim,
and such we know will be the course ot Mir
worthy pasion, whatever aspersions or mis
representations may be made by parties in
terested in defeating the new church enter
prise, and however much we may regret
the InallifeStatiOnS of such a spirit from
those processing to he followers of the Prince
of fence.

CHAMBERsill:lut AND Ilea BENEFACToits.
—Rev. Dr. Schenck, of l'hambersburg,
bus
sent the following for publication to the
Philadelphia Pre,ss :
the Editor P res.l
Si u: It may have appeared strange, if
not ungrateful, that 110 public acknowledg
ment has as yet been made of the generous
aid which citizens of Philadelphia have so
liberally bestowed upon the helpless and
suffering ones in our midst after the burn
ing of our town by the rebels on the :10th of
July last.
Without troubling your readers with the
reasons for this seeming dereliction, of one
thing they may rest assured—namely, that
the feeling of sincere gratitude on the part
lig our people has been unabated fnan the
day of that terrible calamity until now ; and
not without good reason.
It is true the community around us, the
neighboring tow ns—t he cities of Harrisburg
and`‘Lancastor and other places—all had
i manifested towards us their sympathy and
invaluable aid amid the ruin and desolation
and helplessness of hundreds of oar• fellow
beings of all ages. But then these were, in
a manner, our neighbors, and although, in
many respects, the more acceptable on that
account, it was, nevertheless, more natur a l
to look for 1111(1 expect the pulsations of gen
or.us hearts and the'noble deeds of charity
from those who were comparati vi - I u1:u •
than from those mare renege.
When, therefore, your city came ii(rward
with its spontaneous outflow of beneficence,
as well in money as in the various necessar
ies of life, we all felt most deeply that Phila
delphia had drawn us nearer to itself than
ever beli,re. " A friend in need is a friend
indeed."
I may remark, also, as a matter of person
al observation on illy part, that sonic of the
merchants of your cit y, I allude now chiefly
to grocers,) who wire kind 0111)11p:1i to send
on various artk'tcs, and with oust hineral
hands, too, to private individuals, to be by
them distributed among the needy, sent the
very best of articles, thus evincing the very
best state of mind and heart on their part..'
And to this very day your merchants and
dealers, of nearly every description, have
continued to show forth a most kind and
generous spirit towards our people, by cheer
fully tendering their merchandise to them
at reduced prices, or at cost.
Now, for all this, we can only, in the gen
eral way, offer our sincere gratitude to the
numerous donors of your city, manv of
whom we may ill no other way be able to
approach. Allow me, also, to add that, so
far as my own knowledge and that of re
spectable and disinterested citizens of our
town extends, the distribution of your gifts,
by the general Relief Committee, as well
as those entrusted to private hands, was
faithfully and judiciously attended to. The
people of Philadelphia may rest assured
that they have had a most intelligent, pru
dent, and worthy band of almoners in the
distribution of their bounty. A better se
lection could scarcely have been made.
I conclude by giving expression to what
I tun sure is the generally-cherished feeling
of our people:
God Hess our friends in Philadelphia!

/ovum this Morning's Age
It is reported in the Southern journals
that General Kilpatrick's cavalry expedi
tion, which was sent from Savannah south
west through Georgia, along the Savannah
and Bay Railroad, to release the Federal
prisoners who were confined beyond the
Altamaha, has returned. Kilpatrick found
that the Confederate troops were marctiv
ring to cut off his retreat to Savannah, and
therefore gave up the attempt. NN'e have
heard nothing of the body of Federal troops
that was reported to have gone north from
Savannah in ptu - suit of llardee. There is
room for doubt whether they really caught
up with Hardee, or fought any battle with
hint, as was reported. Sherman s army is
still quiet in Savannah.
There is very little doing at Petersburg.
The Confederates show great signs of ac
tivity in front of Port Walthull, and the
rumors of a contemplated niovement by
General Lee are revived. There has been
a great deal of picket firing lately. tin Sat
urday the Confederates surprised a portion
of the Federal picket lines, capturing thirty
live men, killing two and wounding three.
They also secured a great deal of plunder.
There was no Confederate loss.
General Granger's expedition against Mo
bile tt:as reported, on the 19th of December,
to be encamped fifteen miles front the Pas
cagoula river, and thirty miles from Mo
bile. There had been no fighting of ally
account with the enemy. General Davidson,
with his cavalry, was quiet at West Pasca
goula.
It is reported that the Federal loss in the
attack on ,lurfeesboro by Forrest, during
Hood's siege of Nashville, was two hundred
and eight.
A Federal expedition has left Memphis to
march to Notthern Missippi, and destroy
the railroads in that region. It consists of
two brigades of artillery and one of ea vulry ;
about 5,000 men in all.
Commerce of New York
During the year 186-1 four thousand
eight hundred and nine vessels arrived
at the port of New York from foreign
ports—a decrease of two hundred and
seventy-three trom 1863. This decrease
is very slight when the natural effects of
the war are taken into consideration.
But few of these vessels carried the
American flag. One hundred and
ninety-eight thousand three hundred
and forty-two passengers arrived, the
most of them emigrants, who have set
tled in this country.

andAteated"..canyaSsin;whieli'aliii the.
raest;dangerons animosities of the sec
tions Were evoket-trY the appeals of a
'Arty avowedly revolutionary, a - sec=
done President, elected by a minority
of votes cast,twas installed in office.
He took the anal oath of office, but, at
the same time, pronounced his devo
tion to the views of his party as "a
law" to him above the Constitution,
• and its solemn interpretations by the
Courts of Justice. True to that fatal
pledge, he has ever since that day via-,
Wed the Constitution, without shame
or hesitation, whenever the sentiment
of his party commanded its dishonor.
When he came to power that. Consti
tution, signed by George Washington,
and made by the wisest and noblest of
our ancestors was " the supreme law of
the land." it traced by deep, but deli
cate lines of partition the powers and
limits of a government; strong, simple,
and admirable. But, among all the pro
visions of that imperative fundamental
law—only less sacred than our holy re
ligion—none found such faVor with
either the framers, or the people, as
those solemn prohibitions upon any in
terference with the personal rights of
the citizen. These rights were not new
or strange. The principles which pro
tected them, formed the essential part
of that noble line of laws which, rising
in German •forests, , were affirmed by
John, in Magna Charta, and re-enacted
by British Parliaments at every crisis
of English history, came down to us as
the common heritage of our race, whose
measureless value was.above all price of
blood or money. For near a century
that Constitution was honestly admin
istered by Democratic statesmen. It
was a century such as no empire ever
knew before—a century of solid but
wondrous growth, a century of power
unresisted, of freedom at home and
renown abroad, a century crowning
our name and banner with stainless
and universal glory.
The plentitude of our strength and
happiness in that golden era, history
may outline, but can never describe.
dlut we have permitted the principles
which made us great and glorious to be
torn up by fanaticism, and rent, de
spoiled and trodden ; we are as Israel
who spurned her judges to groan under
her kings. We are butcheyed, taxed,
imprisoned and exiled because we took
a President from a party which being
filled with sectional intolerance had no
respect for the Constitution, and no re
gard for an oath. To liberate Southern
negroes, the fanatical rapacity of that
party would devour all that is dear to
the North—liberty, property, blood, and
all.
When Mr. Lincoln came to ()Mee the
Southern States were convulsed by the
natural fOttrs which the savage teach
ings of the successful party hail aroused.
The Constitution protected their do
mestic rights, to be sure, but in so far
as it shielded a slave-holder the Repub
lican party repudiated the Constitution.
While out of power they had denounced
and resisted it as "a compact with death,
and a covenant with hell," and they
had just then got possession of the Gov
ernment by a tierce and furious assault
upon the Institution which lay at the
very foundation of Southern society.—
The jrcople of the South believed, that
in pursuance of his " irrepressible con
flict" Lincoln would do just what
he has done, that is, torganize every
species of public robbery, from a John
Brown raid to a proclamation of Eman
cipation.
Accordingly, the Cotton States broke
loose from the Government, which had
now fallen into the hands of their im
placable enemies, and formed a now one
at Montgomery, while the Border States
remained, in the hope that some suffi
cient guaranties for the rights of proper
ty might yet be obtained, and the de
parted members brought back to the old
Union. Virginia called a conference of
the State, but the Bepublican Gover
nors packed- it with extremists, who
would listen to no measures of settle
ment. In Congress all similar etliirts
to preserve the peace of the country
were cruelly crushed by the violence of
their party majorities. They persisted
in their determination to reverse the
policy of the Government, and cling to
their partisan views as a " higher law"
than the law of the Constitution.
On the day that Mr. Lincoln took his
seat, Joseph Holt, the Secretary of War,
presented him a. report on the condition
of Fort Sumter. That report casts a
flood of light over the secret history of
those times, from a torch in the hand of
one of Mr. Buchanan's most lauded 'mil
petted enemies. It has so far been
smothered in the archives of the War
Department, but it will some flay conic
to the surface and reveal the first, but
one of the greatest frauds of the Ad
ministration. By this paper Mr. Lin
coln was officially told that Maj. Ander
son had more than once boasted his
ability to hold Charleston HarlM
against any force that could be brougllft
against Min. Ile had thanked ( hod tllat
lie could even hold it against the world,
and declared that he neither wanted
men nor supplies. Again lie iniplored
the Administration to send no expedi
tion to his relief. Notwithstanding all
this, and even after the ffiilure of the
Star of the West, which Major Ander
son had imitecbuntalfly failed to recog
nize, Gen. Scott prepared the Brooklyn
for a similar mission. But here it
another message from Maj.lo.l.li
derson—an amazingly strange and in
consistent message, by thesidefd which,
lightning out of a clear sky would be
comparatively tame. Ile ,fofeannounced
that he was surrounded with batteries,
which must inevitably reduce him—
that it was utterly impossible to relieve
him at :dl—that even if such were not
the case, it would require full twenty
tlioltAmi(l hicn to make his position good.
Did Mr. Lincoln forget these facts? Let
us see. .
For several weeks he stood mute while
his country was being dismembered,
neither making peace,nor preparing for
war. Congress was.permitted to adjourn
without passing any measure to quiet
the alarms of the country on the one
hand, and without voting a loan or a
dollar even for the defense on the other.
In the meantime, it was determined, (d
l , 'ust omq in Cabinet Council, that Fort
Sumter should be surrendered, and all
thought of coercion abandoned—one
among the public proofs of which, is the
correspondence of Mr Seward with
Judge Campbell, of Alabama. Mr.
Lincoln's party longed for the contracts,
spoils, and offices of a war, and his
weakness was soon bolted to another
conclusion. But the people did not
desire war. It was necessary that they
should be stirred awl maddened by sonic
outrage upon their rights, apparently
unprovoked. Here the proverbial cun
nin!, and adroitness of our President
stood him in good stead. Remembering
Major Anderson's solemn protestations
that no relief could possibly reach him,
and that any attempt of the sort must
result in a collision and a surrender, he
prepared just such an expedition as
Major Anderson Lad warned him not
to send. When it sailed the fact was
promptly telegraphed to Charleston by
one of his favorite partisans, who has
since been rewarded by the mission to
Portugal. The result was as he desired
—the rebel batteries opened, the garri
son was sacrificed, the Border States
gave up their mediation in despair, a
savage cry of war and vengeance rose
from Washington, and found as wild
and fierce an echo in every district in
the North. But the fraud was not yet
complete, Congress having given him
no legal power to "raise armies," he
now called for seventy-five thousand
men " to protect the capital." After the
battle of Bull Rub, still another feature
was added to that great and shameful
delusion of the 'people. The Crittenden
ReS:olution was passed, and "five hun
dred thousand more" were called to
prosecute the war in accordance with
it. Again the response was greater than
the call, for the people shrank from no
sacrifice so long as the simple object was
to vindicate the Constitution and main
tain the Union. But Mr. Lincoln soon
began to feel himself strong enough
to defy the overwhelming sentiment
of the people, and to repudiate
the Constitutional object for which
the war was made, the troops enlist
ed, and the money borrowed. His
own promises, the Crittenden Resolu
tion, the Constitution itself, were sup
planted, as the principles which con
trolled our arms, by the lawlessschemes
of the Abolitionists. He has ever since
conducted theAvar not under, but outside
the Constitution—not for the restora
tion of the Union, but for the "aban
donment of slavery." Shocked and
disheartened by a treachery so infam
ous, the people refused to fill his armies
by volunteering . . While his Abolition
,policy recruited the Confederate army
rapidly enough, his own people utterly
refused to accept and fight for it. They
shrank from him as from one whose

Lin'mln sacrificed MbOlellan and his
army to his own personal auibition,and
then gave over his troops to the misera
ble leadership of. the Popes, Burnsides,
and, Hookers. Of course it was not
long until he sorely needed men, and
then fell upon this patent and
suffering people, like the scourge:on the
strong man's back, that cruel and illegal
measure known as tlmOonscription.
In flat rebellion M the Constitution,
it swallows up the only. militia known
to that instrument-o-Oe militia of the
States—converting .every serviceable
citizen into the slave of Mr. Lincoln's
will; thUs breaking down another of
the safe-guards of liberty provided by
our fathers. It is by the arbitrary and
despotic machinery of this law, that he
proposes to supply himself with con
scripts where he,eannot get volunteers.
Within the short peried of this man's
presidency, what agdnies have: we not
suffered, what burdens have we not
borne I His provoSt: marshals . swarm
over the country, to break through our
doors, to rifle our :papers, and to seizes
our persons. His ! multitude of tax
gathers wring from - us the fruits of toil,
to feed the grim :Nroloch of carnage.
Four thousand millions of money, and
the bone, muscle, andhearts of over two
millions men, have passed out of sight,
into that awful gulf of blood and fire
which rolls between the divided sections
of whatwas once the American Union.
Still the mighty armies of the South,
East and West confront us in all their
integrity and power. - We have trodden
to and fro long the borders of the Confed
eracy, lighting our footsteps by the
flames of peaceful dwellings, and mark
ing them with the wreck and ashes of
every species of private property. We
have gradually progressed in thefippli
cation of the inherent cruelties Of every
form of Abolition policy, until we have
learned to look with composure upon
atrocities which NNIII make the heart of
the civilized worltbstand still. We can
now read unmoved an order to make the
" Valley of the Shenandoah a barren
waste." All the horrors of war before
known or heard of, were mercy to this
new havoc.
Vet, when that deep voice of suffer
ing, which force, fraud, and venality'
have conspired to smother, goes up from
every foot of this great empire, swelled
by the sighs of the y dying, the sobs of
the bereft, and the groans of the impov
erished, and asks Mr. Lincoln what end
he seeks through all this waste and deso
lation, he replies, to " all whom it may
concern," that the liberation of the
negrocs is to.be the grand result, and
he leaves u:S - to infer, if lie does not say
so, that the restoration of the l - nion is
no part of his " plan." But, I'think I
can give a better summary of the rea
sons why the Abolitionists desire that
the war shall be ittli cruel and endless:
They are—
First. To gather private fortunes out
of the general ruin.
Second. To perpetuate their parts
ascendency in the I ;ON - eminent ; and
TI i i rd. To free the negroes and make
them the political and social equals of
Nvllite men.

To maintain that party ascendency
in the Federal (to \ el 'lmola, which was
achieved by a minority of votes, and
which has now grown detestable to
almost the whole people, Mr. Lincoln
has coerced citizen soldiers to register
their Note, in accordancelns will;
he has carried the elections in all the
der States by the force and terror of
allkt, he has prescribed illegal and odi
ous test oaths at the ballot-box , he has
erected Arkansas, Louisiana, and Tenn
essee into gi eat "rotten borough-," in
which, by the naked authority of his
tyranny, mu -le nth " of the votes is
made the basis of representation, and

to crush out of existence and out of

cestor, declared sacred and inviolate liy

papei s h Itga \ e him oflc e ha% e been
suppressed or laid under restrictions, as
it suited his despotic' lino, his political
opponents have been imprisoned or
, assemblages of the people have
been broken up; discussion in every
form has been to!rcibly silenced, at his
pleasure; in the Western States the
right to bear aims, has been denied to
the masses of the people by a military
order, while weapons were carefully
distributed to his own partisans—the
object of which may be better under
stood, when we retie( t that tne prohi
bition is limited to the period of the
Presidential election , in short, he has
trodden down every guarantee of the
Constitution, and every form of per
sonal liberty, freedom of speech, free
dom of the press, the right of petition,
and peaceable assemblage„ the writ of
habeas ( pas, the right to bear arms,
the right of trial by jury, and, indeed,
the right of any trial at all. Not one of
the ancient liberties of this people has
any existence by the toleration of Abra
ham Lincoln. He jests and sneers at
their mention.
The design of negro emanciplition
and equality, I have made last in the
order of my statement, though it is
likely not second to personal avarice
and party ambition in the Abolition
heart. Be that as it may, Mr. Lincoln
now formally proclaims, that for the
" restoration of the Union "—the legiti
mate, object of the war—he has treach
erously substituted the "abandonment
of slavery," and seeks to compel an
acquiescence in the stupendous fraud
by the North as well as the South. It
is nothinc , to him that the Constitution
prohibits this gigantic violation of the
rights of the States. It is nothing that
it is a breach of his own pledge, and the
pledge of Congress and the nation. It is
nothing that it supplies our enemies with
what they most needed—a cause of war—
and one so cogent and powerful as to
unite all our enemies, and to sweep even
the Unionists, whom he himself declares
to be a majority of the doomed section,
into desperate compact, and unconquer
able columns of resistance. It is noth
ing that it divides and dispirits the
North, while it gives to the rebellion
new and tremendous accessions. He
persists, and his measures breathe into
secession the breath of life. Congress
passed an act of confiscation, and the
Southern people say, " If submission
robs us of our property, let us give it all
for defense." The President issues a
Itggelamiallon of emancipation, and they
lieleli-illegtrtiriettrisystook-of
labs* and degrad;Us tellit4level.ofionr
negroes, we nfirst :peril our
to prevent it.!! . He issues , a
"one tentlir proclamat4n, and they
spond to the threat of ieridemi-bylurn
ing over their todleslo the' at my,- and.
their property to the Treasnry. If, for
an instant;_the South hesitates to add
more to the great river of hood -which
rolls between them and us, he chokes
the first whisper of peace by an edict,
" to whom it may concern,' there shall
be no peace, and no Union, until the
relation of the white and black races is
reversed. The South seceded without
cause, but Mr. Lincoln has since fur
nished them, at every convenient
opportunity, with stern and terrible
motives of persistence. If they 4tbmit
on his terms, they submit to have their
principal • citizens hanged, and the rest
disfranchised; to have their property
confiscated, their towns garrisoned with
blacks, and their negroes made their
superiors. In short, they submit to the
society of Hayti, and the liberty of Po
land. Against this barbarous policy the
South is a solid unit in arms, and so
she will remain until it is totally aban
doned. If the war had been conducted
in accordance with theCrittenden Re
solution ; if no terms but the terms of
the Constitution had ever been asked,
the rebel States would long since have
acknowledged the Government whose
justice was even more conspicuous than
its :lower.
But Mr.%incoln does not desire a res
toration of the old Union. His most
eminent partisans cry, " God forbid it!"
It would give grave offense to the fanat
ics ; it would make the bitterest resent
ment of the twelve New England Sena
tors, whose " pressure " Mr. Lincoln
has avowedhiniselfunable to withstand.
New England could no longer make
gain of the nation's woe, the country's
liberties would be freed from the grasp
of her intolerance, and Federal patron
age would cease to flow exclusively into
her lap, while her cherished dream of
the negro millenium would remain un
realized. She.is determined that this
war shall be conducted for the benefit
of herself and the negroes, and that the
Constitution shall not again overshadow
this land with peace and union under
its wings, until the black man is found
in civil and military offices, in the jury
box, and at the polls, the equal and the
peer of the white man. She cannot rest
until she has broken up the only system
of labor which an possibly till the
Southern soil—the labor which pro
duced the cotton, the rice, the sugar,
and the tobacco, products which have
fed our Northern manufactories, floated
our commerce, and built our railroads,
which furnished us the exchanges for
Western cereals, New England fabrics,
and Pennsylvania iron, which, in truth,
made us thrive and expand, so that all
the earth marvelled. She would make
the South a desolation, and leave the
North, alone and impoverished, to pay
the vast, uncounted debt, incurred to
achieve a wide-spread and horrible de
struction, which the world might trem
ble to behold. To these results Mr.
Lincoln conducted the war—for these,
the people ate taxed and slaughtered.
The Union restored, is not even an in
cidental part of the great Abolition
scheme.
If the phrenzied joy of all France
blessed the blade that drank the blood
of Robespierre, if the great heart of
England filled with a sense of profound
relief on the day James the 11. became
a fugitive, if ever any wretched coun
try in all the world's dark history
swelled with gratitude for the extinc
tion of a usurper's dreaded power, surely
the American people will breathe a
deeper and freer breath when the ballot
has declared Abraham Lincoln a pri
vate citizen.
If the political struggle we are now
engaged in should terminate In the elec
tion of General McClellan, it would be
our happiness to have for President,
after the 4th of March next, a man of
character and decent speech—a soldier
and a statesman. Our military force
would then be directed against the re
bellion, by that splendid genius, which,
in the saddest hours of this fearful con
flict, commanded the hearts of our sol
diers, the thanks of Congress, and the
" ten thousand thanks' of Abraham
Lincoln himself. The soldier who gave
Western Virginia to the Union, who ex
tricated the Potomac Army from the de
struction which the Washington, no less
than the Richmond, Government had
prepared for it, who took the broken and
mutinous remnants of a host from the
feeble hands of Pope, and inflicted on
the enemy the crushing defeat of Antie
tam—such a soldier would permit no
more of those useless butcheries, which
have swallowed up victims as fast as
conscription could supply them. But
to the force of arms General 'McClellan
would add tc more potent agency of
peace alia tnion, in the form of a con
stitutioillh-policy. His election would
be the signal to the South, that there
aftertheGovernment was to be adminis
tered as it was before it fell into the hands
of the destroyer.. He would repeal the
exasperating proclamations of his pre
decessor; he would wipe out the savage
and lawless measures of the fanatics, he
would drive the thieves from place, and
assure the South that, in case of her re
turn to the I Tnion, she should neither
be oppressed nor plundered. He would
give her the naked Constitution of the
land, her people would cry out against
the continuance of a war which had no
longer any adequate cause, their armies
would melt away, and the bands which
have grappled in war would clasp in
Peace! Union ! and Liberty ! these are
the blessings which Democracy would
extend to our country, oppressed by its
rulers, staggering with debt, and sick
with blood.
