(The story ikold but 1

" Cease, sirrab, your jestink 1 remember,"

" Bat, steward," she answered," my debts

Anothir the
" Administration
• The defeetion from, the administration
party still continues. The Suffolk .L. L.
' Herald •has become disgusted ~ with' the
mismanagement and corruption. rullng at,
Washington, and, taking down the nel4le4,
of Lincoln and Johnson, says -
" We have held our tongue until Oki ;
late day ; we have never uttered a
. word,
or, syllable derogatory to thebest
este of the party to which we, Are sdher-,
ents, but of no party or clique. We liave
discovered during the administration of
the present coutrollingfaction, that•our
interests have been confided to the pro ,
tection of a faithless, unfit body, of honor
seeking, money-getting patriots (?) who.
are disinterested in our country's all-per
vading question—How shall we best ter
minate the war? and deeply interested
in their own financial affairs and personal
aggrandizement.
By unskillful administration, we are, at,
this hour. , trembling on the brink of na
tional destruction. The extra endeavors
made by Mr. Lincoln to retain• his posi
tion as chief of the. nation, meet not with
our approval ; the manifest. determine,
lion of the Republican party' to sticc'ess-. !
fully carry on their political plans, even to
the ruination of matters of double and
treble the, importance attached to the
question--,who shall be our next Presi-•
dent? excites within us supreme disgust.
By this admission it truly be urged that,
we are playing into the hands of the Dem
ocratic-party.
Democratic party, say you, reader ? If
the Democratic party .party made up
of men whose a im it, is to bringiabout 0
speedy but honorable cessation ofhostili
ties
; whose ambition it is to suspend the
sacrifice-of the best Amorican blood of '
our land alone for the interest,ef the col
ored
man ; whose whole bent is to check
the ample opportunity afforded the liber
al addition to pockets already,,overloaded
by gain at the expense of the thousands
who are devoutly crying that. this "cruel
war" may speedily end; whose every ef-.
fort is to effect a restoration of the Un
ion upon a solid, permanent, never-failing
basis, then we are playing into the bands
of the Democratic party."
A Story of Three Lincoln Men.
One of the city papers, , Wbich ia. tiOt vs ,
ry tend of the administration, hatt Itktely
been publishing the'" Declaration of Inde
pendence" in installments. It is a pecul;
tanty of that immortal document that
some of-its sentiments are not wholly in
applicable. to men and times••sitfee the
American Revolution. The editor prob.:
ably thought it was too strong to -be read
all at once, and-so gilve it out by bits.
Three med;'who intend to vote for Mr.
Lincoln next November, happened to be
looking on a copy of the paper to which
wCreier, - in a terry boat, the other day,
The•regular daily allotment of the decla
ration met, their gaze, It had no moduli
or other marks to show where , it'efithe
from. •
Being "loyal" men,' they read passages
like the folloWing. with indignation and
astonishment:
"He has obstructed the administration
ofjustice"—" erected a multitude of new
offices"—" affected to render the military
independent of and soperior to •th'e civil
powers" —" cutting °four trade with'all
parts of the world" —" depriving us itt
many cases of the benefits of trial by ju
ry,"

No. 3.
