His meriyl and his pretensions are now trembling in the bal ance, held by the hands of a coultdingand. much enduring people, who have continu ed long -to hope against hope under the military, misrule of which they are only too piunfully conscious, but to the patient enduradce of which there is a limit, set, equally by physical necessity and by political prudence. The protraction of the war, long-drawn out by divided mili tary counsels, by injudicious civil policies, and by incompetent officers inithefield, is' seen by every body to be the precursor either of a disunion peace(rendered a phy sical necessity by the military imbecility which is breaking down the pant strength of the country) or of a change in the ad ministration which shall, at least- accord to the people one last hope of saving the country, where, if, things remain as they are, there is now none. Lithe President does not. apply a corrective, at once timely and radical, to the evils of which the royal states complain with just reason, they will not hesitate to apply the only corrective which lies within their reach, through the ballot-box. We do not so write under any inspire, tions of passion or partisanship. -We have used earnest words because the time call ed for -them. We suppress even the utter ance of that indignation which we feel it would be righteous to cherish in view of the recent abase of the confidence reposed by the people in their civil rulers. Let wise men judge what we say, and we abide their verdict, in the fall assurance that they pronounce us to have spok en words of truth and soberness in a day when paltering and levity, whether in office or out of office, are certainly out of place. Decadence of the Lincoln Party. The numerical strength of the Lincoln, party is manifestly waning all over the country with great rapidity. Strong men are falling away from his support in all directions, and strong minds are aband oning the leading features of his Admin istration policy m every State. There are all the reliable prognostics of a gener al scattering of the thinking and suffering masses. He is regarded as a &Buie upon all the great ends promised in the outset respecting the rebellion, and Lincoln with an indefinite war, or somebody else for President who is uncommitted against termslof peace, is beginning to be the pra ctical inane upon which the popular mind is swaying, with a possitively visibly pre ponderance in favor of the latter.—Port land Advertiser. Wonderful Libetulity.A—Not tong since a number of Congressmen from Kentucky waited upon Mr. Lincoln to re monstrate against the arbitrary arrests of Colonel Wolford in that State. In the course of the interview, the President laid= much Jtress upon his liberality.— " Why," rays be, " I have permitted members of Congress upon the floor of the House not only to criticize my policy, but even to personally attack me r How fine that sounds toafreepeople.•Permitt ed members of Congress to speak of " His Highness."

Ei'The Tribune of the 18th repeats Greeley's regrets, editorially, that the re bels , did not , again invade the " copper head" counties in Southern Pennsylvania; and says that our boys who Marched down *urn to repel time, last your "were charged with every mouthful they ate or drank, water included." This asser tion is on a par with the Tribune's "truths," generally. No soldier was charged for water, and Greeley l knows his assertion to be a most wilful and malig nant fahiehood ; but it is true that fur boys were not fed as 'they could have been, and-the "loyal" contractors wholbe long to Greeley's party pocketed 'the mo ney for the food which was, withheld. Had not the people given and sold food to the famishing emergency men'tnany of them would have died of hunger. Can dor requires us to admit that they are well fed this year—at home. Rene Poughkeepsie . Eagle (a Lin coln organ) is correct in saying that-- "The people are very tired of hearing of drafts; they dread them as they do a pestilence, and will rejoice greatly when they begin to see that they are likely to be rid of them." The people are likely to be rid of drafts when they are rid of Lincoln, and not be fore. .

Yet we caution them to not be hasty in forming conclusions, and to beware of bogus or colored reports.— The whole country was , cheated into this war, but must not be cheated into its no necessary continuance. It is settled that Lincolnynts Abolition in the wayof Peace and Union.
