not even discuss the matter, the epithet
annoyed him, and that' was enough tt, os

see an excess of liberty and a lack of po
litical education.:~..
Now; ire are annoyed and irritated at
hearing the words. Abraham Lincoln--.and
honesty a ways ootipied,together ; but be
iug, more generous than the excellent
Athenian - citizen aforeiaidi we propose,
before ostracizing honest Abe from the
White House, to consider his right to the
surname of-”, Honest I" To will, one - man ,
honest out of a ; population of thirty
mil
lions, is not so much a compliment to him
as a satire upon 'all the test. Let us look
into his honesty and :capability. After
three years of Went silence we have a
right, and rnoreover ,it
,is our duty, Mr.
Lincoln, to . examine your : and show
them to th enation. You commenced by
confiding the trite of our ca,use, the honor
of our arms; and the lives. our sons to
men liming no higher tosuch trust
than a host of voters ate their command,
whose support yori coveted,--in,_order to
advance the welfare of the :ration.
We A have ,allowed you to further your
political and personal interests, and to
transfuTrii into heroes men whose ineffi
ciency has swallowed up thousands of
lives and millions of treasure, so that you
Might be able to dazzle the eyes of the
people with victories far more than real.
We have permitted you Co sacrifice tried
patriots, whose- popularity alarmed you,
and whose energy disappointed your cal
culations.
We have allowed you to deceive the
peor -7ou, transform dis
till( imoleriesi and even
we , hen you were re-
foresee or forestall anything. What has
become of the nation's entbukiasm ? What
have you done with the finmense resour
ces, unprecedented in history, that the na
tion hasiavishly given you ?
You are now appealing . ro conscription,
and we will not enter into a discussion of
the principle itself, but we will tell you
that you should have foreseen that the day
must come when you woul4 eed these men,
and that On were to blame in not calling
for them When the people's enthusiasm
was first aroused, when they certainly
would Mit have been refused you. Yon
are to blame , inasmuch - as :thro , your inca
pacity and personal • schemes, the necessi
ty of laugh an, appeal has ,become a ques
tion of public safety. YOu are to blame
for depriving us - of the service of rnen
whose:popularity stimulated that enthusi
asm. -- •
You have told 'the country that both
the rebellion and slavery were dead ; you
have told the people that .the forces
of. be rebels were reduced by de
sertions, mtthat they tmld not be re
eruited, fed, nor clothed ;and yet you are
forced Ao act on the defensive, being
threatened at all points.

Whenever you hue directed the action
of our troeps, they have -been uniformly
unsuccessful;; you have 'perpetually of
fered us the wretched spectacle of, splen

success- which, you came nor, attaining,

,Candid people:will-see in .this a good 'deal

The. whole truth is -this: you are lead

deceiving the people :as to the dangers
which threaten it,- ,in the first .partoo. the
campaign of 1802 you gained advantages
which you were unable' to utilize or even

to hear definitions like this : Afruncondi

satisfied with' the :measures taken by the
governin t; ,app rOVetr. them and gives .

It seemsidrubst incredible. '. Are we in
Constantinople; in St. Peteilsburg, in rtoin 9
or'in Paris? Are we the _descendants of
those proud . &lions who ' iefuied . :to suc
cumb to any yoke„ . or pleiiittei.iteAff

ship ? Are we really the descendants of
those disciples of - Luther and Calvin, who
rather than subject their reason to an au- ,
au
thority that they despised, preferred to I
expatriate themselyes ;to. those shores,
where 'through the agency :of liberty,
they founded our national greatness which ,
you are now striving to drown in a,sea of
cowardice and adulation,' corruption and
incompetency Were our ancestors to
visit the earth, they would ,eertainlly be
surprised to see that, eighty years after
the revolution which gave . life and liberty
to the nation, the Lincoln
.party.could find
no other definition of loyalty than . a blibd
suiaiuission . to the decrees of a.govern-
Ment.
But 'we have exercised this blind and
mute submission during .three ylars; du
ring three years tve)save kept, silent—and
what was more generous than-silence ?
Soriiikrne radical patriots said totiong
since, " We have lost all. confidence in
' Fremont: What has he said or done for
a year past?"
What could lie do? what could he say? '
Ile_ has done for you what Butler and Si
gel .have done; what we all have done;
he has been charitable enonglr.tokeep si
lence,
and that is more than he should
have done. In the face of so much- ince
pability and corruption, patriotism alone
has kept us silent. Each tame that a fresh
defeat or a fresh. concession to foreign
powers-brought an indignant exclamation
to our lips, we-restrained its utterance.—
And yet has much grief; and love, and ad-.
rairktion, accompanied . each :hecatomb of

" But what is to be thought of an ad
ministration that is afraid of its friends, of
the prekses that helped to put it in power?
It argues something rotten in Denmark.
The raid of the administration against the
press of the country wan not intelided so
much for the disloyal journals as the loy
al or Republican ones ; but the latter saw
its purpose and got out of the way. It
*was deliberately contemplated at one time
.to pounce down upon certain Republican
journals, and to thrust. into .the national
forts two or threo of the principal Repub

Soldiers, Voting in New Jersey. .
, The negro-voting party are enraged at
the Legislature of New Jersey for haying I
recently adopted resolutions favonible to -
aliening Soldiers of both parties to vote.
The words in italics, as hereunder,: give
great offense to the radicals who, would .
permit, no soldier to vote except as. they
dictated: .
' 46 Whereas, Under the present constitu
tion of breesey a-law . cannot be passed
authorizing the citizens of :the State to
vote at places outside of the State; and
.; Whereas, No change of the constitution
etin_be".effeated under two years midi
Whereas; It is right that our brave sol
diers should, (so far as it is not detrimen
'tal to the military service) have tti . , a op !
-pcirttinity of exercising freely, am under
theprotection of law, the right of suffrage;
therefore - 1
Resolved, (Senate concurring)That the
roper military authorities be requested
