THE PRESIDENT. AnuANAM LINCOLN'S renomination by the people is not merely that of a man, but of a principle. It is the vindication of the Administration—the death-warrant of dis loyalty. Never, perhaps, lived a man more popular than he is to-day, and, though po pularity in America is not always proof of desert, in his ease it is the strongest proof. For it is enduring popularity, achieved in spite of unpopularity, solely by fidelity to a trust, and the irresistible power of virtue. The enthusiasm awakened by military heroes has, more than once, transcend ed the enthusiasm for the President— more ths - n once have we seen the suc cessful general hailed as the savior of the country . , only to lose that title with defeat. But ABRAUAM LINCOLN'S popularity has not its root in the glory of a sudden victory, and was never won by the drawing of a sword. It was achieved in spite of unpopu larity-, we have said, for .who shall forget those gloomy days of 1862, when the peo- ple seemed to be falling away from the Government as if they distrusted its a.bili ty Yet the original faith reposed in the man by the people was never lost, and but for a time obscured. Mr. Lriscorai first made all the world respect his integrity, and then slowly but surely he extorted, even from the sullen lips of his enemies, acknowledgment of his wiidom: It is no wonder that what was once ap proval is now enthusiasm. Friends per-• suaded and foes threatened Mr. Lureoraa in vain ; he, and he alone, is responsible to the people, and in doing what his judg ment declared to be right, he has conquered all. He has trodden the path of duty so firmly that it has become the path of glory. We affirm that the popularity which has steadily grown up amidst misfortunes and misrepre sentalions, envy and indignation, which the whole history of the war has strength ened, which victory has sealed, is not the popularit_y of a year, but of a lifetime. It cannot be destroyed by the defeat, it can hardly be increased by the triumph of our arms. It is absolute now, and indepen dent of the fortunes of war, resting upon the virtue of a great man, and the per manerce of a noble principle. This is the popularity of Annanam LmcoLN, and by whom has worthier fame been won ? 'lbis is our tribute to the man who will, in all probability, remain President of the United States. It is not a eulogy but a statement ; and, to stamp it as impartial, we do not hesitate to declare that it is not to Mr. Lneconst that we owe the triumph of the Republic, though we know that through his fidelity it has been won. We have tri umphed by a Principle, felt by the people, defined by their representatives,' and en forced by the Government Mr. Loscoest's personal virtues are manly and great, but his highest merit is that he is true to this principle. By this he holds the hearts of his countrymen ; by this he has won his supremacy. His strongest ap peal to the people in the Presidential can vass will be as the defender of principle, and to such an appeal only will they am swer. Woe to the man who should dare to insult the nation by asking its trust upon the lower grounds of personal merit, or liked even his past services as the chief reason for his future employment. Oar best President is he who best repre senta our principles, and were Mr. LINCOLN to forget these,even he would find his immense popularity too weak to save him. He would be thrown off by the people as an -impediment to national success. No one man is greater than the cause ; none of us are too valuable to sacri lice ; we are all nothings compared with the freedom we are fighting for Mr. LiszcoLN has labored night and day for his country ; he has suffered as no other man has suffered, yet there have been greater sacrifices than hi& Menhave given up hap piness, love, and life for the country, and many a nameless soldier now lies in an unknown grave who gave more to Liberty than any of those who live Let us not forget this, nor degrade the dig nity of our cause, by resting it on the false basis of the value of a man. Ground it upon principle; give it to the people as something holy in itself, which owes no lustre to the reflected glory of a leader, and could lose nothing by the shame of an apostat& We dare not insult Mr. LINCOLN, by presenting him for re-election, with the inferior appeal to the splendor of his popularity or the no bility of Ids services. We would not lower him by presuming that he would dare to come before the people with such claims as these, while greater claims exist. We honor him as he is a patriot, we trust him as he is a statesman, but we shall sustain him as the man who upholds a principl& No matter what else he were, were he less than this, he should not have our support, but our opposition. We have our likings and aversions, it is true, but our principles are dearest, and in this time of all times, we should give our hand even to our private foe, were we sure he were the public friend. We have said thus much to emphasize the plain declaration that ABRAHAM Lin colas is, judged by the light of day, the man of men for American& We deny him the sole credit of the national triumph, because we honor him too truly to flatter him. Higher praise we could not give than to say that his merits are so great that, even for party purposes, they do not need exag geraton. Nor does he need praise for he has no friend more quick to criticise hisacts, to measure his abilities, to glory in his SEC cess, than the peopl& From them has come the most eloquent approval of his Admin istration, and, that being so, it is su perfluous for • even Mr. SEWARD to say "he is right," impertinent for Mr. SEY -310111 to say "he is wrong." Adminis tration, Union, Freedom, Slavery, all are in the hands of the people to be saved or destroyed as they will, and their President cannot be made for them. No one man or set of men have nominated Mr. larceoLN, and though the powerful influence of strong leaders may again greatly help to raise him to the Presidency, with the ap proval of the people, there is no authority that can elect him agaanst their will. This was not always so, but the President-maker no longer exists, for he died in the death of Party. Spirit of the Southern Press. The spirit of the Southern press alone is enough to convince the most unbelieving that the rebels are heartily tired and sick of the war, tired and sick of their chiefs, tired and sick of rebellion. If resistance down South is continued, the people—what is left of them—will become, day after day, more tired and sick. If there were nothing in the character of the rebellion itself to promote demoralization and disaffection, there is more tlnin enough in the deserved miseries which afflict them now. They are without food, without clothing, without money, without men, without hope, without a name among the nations of the earth. The rebel officers excepted from the President's amnes ty are anxious to get from our Government greenbacks, to enable them to bid an eternal farewell to the Southern Confederacy. The Southern press hint that the time for the sword is past, and that the era for the in creased manufacture of scabbards has come. " NOW is the time for statesmanship," says the Raleigh (N. C.) Standard, and con tinues, "we were in a better condition to negotiate three months ago than we are now; and it is not certain that we shall achieve great victories, and thus improve our condition in this respect the next three months." This is indeed a somewhat trite truth. It is as though the vanquished prize- Lghter should exclaim, as the sponge i s being thrown up, that it is not an ab solute certainty he will win. The logic of events, which has been so felicitously deserThed as inexorable, certainly substantiates this conclusion in both cases, although we cannot avoid feeling that it might have been presented with greater foice. This will come with time, however. The frequent desertions from rebel com mands ; the generally spreading conviction that a return to Unionism is infinitely pre ferable to the southern Confederacy, even were its promises not delusive ; the number of southern citizens who have hastened to avail themselves of the amnesty proclama tion; the utter demoralization and disaffec tion of the rebel armies in c arious quarters ; the gradually growing sentiment of loyalty to the Union, all favor the hope and confi dent expectation even of a settlement of our national difficulties at a short date. The Return of Senator White. We have good authority for stating that Senator Ways B will, in all probability, soon resume his seat in the State Senate. The terms of his exchange have been determined, and it is not unlikely that he will be in Har risburg in the course of a week. His return will end the power of the Opposition to sus pend legislation, and defeat measures neces sary to the people of Pennsylvania. The satisfactory termination of the dispute by the release of a brave soldier from a rebel prison, is doubly gratifying. His freedom will be due to the energy of the Govern ment, and Pennsylvania will not forget this great service to her interests. But what shall we think of a party which owes its de feat to the liberation of a Union soldier, and would profit by the continuance of his cap tivity. Predictions of 6 , The Tirnes.” A London paper, noticing the numerous gloomy anticipations of the leading English journal, and the remarkable manner in whichthey have not been realized, inasmuch as the rebel South has neither taken posses sion of Washington nor burnt Philadelphia and New York, says : " One of the most funny books that could be published would be ' The Predictions of the London Times.'" It would be amusing to see these predic tions printed on one page, and the facts of their non fulfilment stated on the, opposite page. Latterly, The Times, instructed by experience, says as little as possible on American subjects. LETT.= FROM "OCCLIONLL." WASHINGTON, January 13, 1804 I cannot forget the clamor against me, when, nearly, a year ago, I took the liberty to say that it behooved all of us who cared for our country to prepare for the next Presidential campaign that in fact this war would end sadly and badly, if we did not take care that the men who were elected in 1860, or those who agreed with them, should be elected in 1864. It was a key-note, sounded cautiously, and yet without fear. It was rudely assailed as an attempt to turn the current of - war into the current of party. Some papers, nameess nOW, because utterly shameless,.charged me with making a plan to elect somebody President. I did not stop to deny or to explain. My whole object was to awaken the people to a sense as well of danger as of responsibility. To tell them, in a word, that in their utter and ultra patri otism, they might allow some foe of free dom to get into the citadel, and, in their name, to steal the diadem only to be worn by a loyal man. As for myself, I can sup port any true man for the Presidency, whether Bold Ben Butler, United States Grant, Nathaniel P. Banks, S. P. Chase, or "A. Lincoln." With me, at least, the day has gone by for helping aspirants to the highest offices in the Republic. Once, in my life, I gave my heart's love to one such, and found him, at the end, a failure and a falsehood. But it is avast matter whether we shall have a friend or a foe " to run this machine" of ours for the next four years. The tide now sets towards Mr. Lincoln. And here you will note that I was not too fast in directing attention to the Presidency a year ago, for that was the time to sound, and search the depths and shallows of public opinion on this great question ; and, also, because that was the time to atbeover a candidate for the next Presidency. Mr. Lincoln's present ap parent inevitable renomination and re election do not result from organization or intrigue. 'They are the fruits of the awakening of the people to the necessity of re-electing the men who have had the war in charge for nearly three years, and who ought to finish the work. I have never known so little management to produce a result. It has been as readily and as easily done as putting on an old shoe. Nobody can make anything out of it, for every body was in favor of it. It has not come from jobbers, or contractors, or politicians. The people thought there was gold in Lincoln at first, and now, finding it out, they have patiently dug down, and waited, and reaching their expectations:, they propose to keep him where he is, for he enriches and protects the loyal, and par dons and indulges the heretofore disloyal. Hence, I think we are all for Mr. Lincoln, unless he chooses to oppose and destroy him self by opposing what he cannot destroy, the great truths on which he was elected. 'lhese are so terrible in their force that who ever deserts them now would fall as the angels fell, who contended against Heaven because they believed themselves greater than the Deity. OCCASIONAL. Thackeray. The following exquisite poem, from the New York Round Table s is a noble tribute to the memory of the great departed. If the coujecture were proper, we might easily supply the name of the author, which is one of the most illustrious in our poetical liters. Lure: "ADSIIM." DEOBMBILIC 23-4, 1863 "And lust as the last bell struck. a peetillarsweet smile shone over , his face. and he litre a up hts . head a little and cinickly said 'Adam!' and fell back. "—The Betecomee. The Angel came by night, (Sswh angels stir come down !) And like is winter aloud Passed ever London town Along its lonesome streets, Where Want had ceased to weep, Until it reached a house Where a great man lay asleep ; The man of ail his time Who knew the most of men; The soundest head and hear; The sharpest, kindest pen. It paused beside his bed, And whispered in his ear: He never turned his head, But answered, "I am here." Into the night they went. At morning, tide by side, They gained the sacred. Place Where the greatest Dead abide ; Where grand old Homer sits, In godlike state benign ; Where broods in endless thought The awful Florentine ; Where sweet Cervantes walks, A smile on his grave face ; Where gossip quaint Montaigne, The wisest of his race ; Where Goethe looks through all, , With that calm eye of his ; Where—little seen but Light— The only Shakspeare Is ! When the new Spirit came, They asked him, drawing near, " Art thou become like us?" He answered, "I am here." WPA.Si3iPier7C4DN. WASHINGTON. D. 0.. Jan. 14 Deserters to the Rebels.

To His Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States: : The undersigned, members of the La. gislature of Pennsylvania, thus early in the session of that body, hasten to congratulate you on the sue eau of the policy of the National Administration, and the auspicious circumstances under which the second Congress of your , term has been organized. When it is fairly considered that the policy of your Administration was made the issue in the late elections—when it is known that in the contest for the most important State, as well as the most insigeiticant municipal office, the inane involved all the essential prineiplee of the policy of your Ad. ministration, the result must be the more highly ap• predated by the friends of freedom abroad, and cheering to the defenders of freedom, the Union, and the Constitution at home. We would be un• mindful of the duty we owe our country, if we hesitated to acknowledge the force of that policy in the elections which placed us in our present legis lative positions. When fearlessly advocated and set beton the people, it won us victory in the face of the most persistent and bitter opposition from the foes or free government. You need not be re minded of the effect which the late election in Penn sylvania had on the fate of the nation. The triumph at the ballot- box aroused the ardor, and seemed to breathe fresh Valor into the heartaiof our soldiera for the achievement of victory on the battle-Md.' And if the voice of Pennsylvania became thus po tential in endorsing the policy of your Administra tion, we consider that, as the representatives of those who have Bo completely endorsed your official course, we are only responding to their demands when we thus publicly announce our unshaken preference for your re-election to the Presidency in 1864. The hope and the life of the American people are now centered in the purpose and the effort of the Government to crush rebellion. In more than two years of struggle we have discovered that the re bellion is continued for an object more important than that of redressing even a real wrong. It is waged for the establishment of a dogma and the recognition of a barbarism. It is carried on against the Government for its absolute destruction. In such a struggle there can be no compromise de vised to offer or consider for acceptance. One or other of the contending parties must triumph. Justice must be vindicated by the full recognition and operation of the Government in all the States, or the claims of the traitors will be maintained, this magnificent structure of our Government destroyed, and the rights of men forever ignored. To make a change In the Ad ministration, until its authority has been luny established in the revolted States, would be to give the enemies of the Government abroad the pretext for asserting that the Govern ment had failed at home. To change the policy now in operation to crush rebellion, and restore the land to peace, would be to a ff Ord , the traitors in arms time to gather new strength, if not for Immo. diate victory, at least for ultimate success in their efforts permanently to -dissolve the Union. Having; a firm faitk in the logic and reason of these po sitions, we are frank In our endeavors thus to urge on you the acceptance of a re-election to the Pre sidency. We believe that the policy of your Ad ministration rendered us victorious at our last electioncand we now insist that that policy, if re presented by yourself in all the States, would give the victory to the Government in November, and thus forever put an end to all hope 01 the success of treason. We do not make this communication, at ;this time to elicit from you any expressions of opinion on this subject. Having confidence in your patriotism, we believe that you will abide the derision of the friends of the iinien, and yield a consent to any honorable use which they may deem proper to make of your name, in order to secure the greatest good to the country, and the speediest outwear to our arms. Pennsylvania always has wielded a potent influence in the politics of the country. Her preferences have been tantamount to the summit of the statesmen to whom she attaches herself; and her voice her never failed to give the victory to the right. And while we, the representative, of the great majority of the masses of the Clommonwealth, thus avow our confi dence and reliance in your obicial action and capa city, we may feel that we are responding to the clearly expressed preferences of those masses, and that Pennsylvania would hail your re-election the omen of complete victory to the Government. Expressing what we feel to be the language not only of our own constituents, but also of the people of all the loyal States, we claim to indulge the expect. tation that you will yield to the preference which has already made you the people's candidate for President in 1864. Iloplug, air, that yon may live to lee the full triumph of your efforts to rescue your country from rebellion, and enjoy many yearn thereafter, of its tranquil peace and prosperity, we remain your friends and fellow•citiaens.

CINCINNATI', Jan. 14.—Private advice, from Chat tanooga indioate the concentration of large forces in front of Foster, in East Tenneaaee, and Grant, at Chattanooga. It is believed that the campaign will open with an attempt to recover Knoxville, and that the bulk of Lee'e army will be transferred to that army, Lee himself taking the general command of the Western grade.. Thki being a correct supposition, it is not impro bable that the rebel capital will be removed further south, 'and its defence entrusted to a strong garri son, while concentration for offensive operations takes place In the West. All the signs indicate this as the probable movement for the spring. General Grant left for Nashville, with a view, it is said, to prepare for the great conflict in East Tennessee.—Bulletin.

Mr. HOWE', of Wisconsin, opposed the amendment of the Senatorfrom Massachusetts. Mr. BROWN thought the whole tenor of the amend ment was to make the enrolment a bill °Prevents. It is not a Constitutional way of raising moneys It provides also for raising men by chance rather than by the means authorized by the Constitution. Out of the number into rolled in the first draft only 11,000 men have gone into the service. The bill, which had failed to obtant its objects, was defective.

The exemptions under this clause would be more numerous than Senators took occasion to think. The Unitarians might claim exemption because the immortal Charming had written the profoundest essay ever written Obis - Witting the horrors of war. His regard of the Quakers was canal to that of any other Senator, but in this war he would take issue with Senators apon the dneation of exempting them if they refused to pay commutation money.

Mr. COX, of Ohio, said the eor.flecation ayntam has been an utter, failure. and t•eaaosa It had failed t h ey were to have vartoaa schemes put forward from tune to totals tat t view to B: l =lsta rebel io4 and to dogtrot what little Union feeling there hi left in the South. Con fiscation could not be made effective under the Constitu tion. for all that could be obtained under the Constitu tion would be the life estates of the offender and hence he did not know but that from private griefs or anti- Christian motives a distinction was sought to be made between the sections cf the country, or there was some bad reason, otherwise there would not be so much urgency of gentlemen on the other aide for the passage of this measure of revenge. The guilty bad already been reached, and now the innocent, even children un born, were to be affected by the legislation proposed. He argued the Constitutional question, contending that the Constitution and all the commentators were agreed that the forfeiture of an estate could be limited only, to the lifetime of the offender. Mr, STEVSINS, of Permaylvsnia. inquired whether, if sentence of death could be pronounced on traitors, Con gress could not prescribe another punishment, namely. the total forfeiture of estates. Mr. COX replied th.t be referred the gentleman to President Lincoln's views, which regarded forfeiture entire as unconstitutional. [Laughter by several ge ntlemen on the Republican side, and exclamations of "oh, ho!") Mr. COX remarked—l regard the man as a traitor and Secessionist who does not stand by the Administration On that point. [Laughter.) Mr. hTEVENS-1 don't understand the gentleman as giving his own opinion, but that of President Lincoln. Mr. COX 7%0.d that he had been giving Judge Story's as well as President Lincoln's views, but the gentleman on U e other side would overrule the latter. Re was tot adhering to the Censtitntion, and vanishing treason an der it. His opposition to the Administration was based only on its disregard OP infraction of the Constitution OATH. of Indiana, asked whether the gentleman would punish tralore '? Mr. COX replied he would punish them nosording to the Constitution, and in all modes therein pointed out Mr. OATH asked whether the gentleman would Wild the death tensity ? ®Mr, COX replied that be had continued to vote men and money to put down the rebellion He, in turn, asked whether the gentleman would purdah the inno cent for the guilt of their parents ? fakir. ORTH replied he would not. ElMr. COX. Then you are against the bill. Mr CtilTfl said he was for punishing the guilty. Mr. GARFIELD was sorry this debate had taken a Partisan turn. Persons were punished, in the civil and criminal courts, by taking away their property. irre spective of the children of the guilty, and did the gentle man propose to make an exception for the crime of trea son, so that the children of traitors may enjoy what is de.iedto the children of thieves and felons? . . . Mr. COX replied that his colleagueon ght to know very well that in a criminal prorecntion they could take a person's property but not his real estate. He intended to stand by She Constitution at all times. . . . . Mr. Dal:A. of Maryland, said tile - istialt of the politi cal elections in the Central States bad Placed the. admi nistration beyond the necessity of relying on stick stip• pert as the gerileman from Ohio (Mr. Cox) would ren der it, as welt as the Support of trio majority to a the other side, acting with bim. who bad voted for a resolu tion. prcr mating this to be an lab amen war." Rely ing on the vote by which the people sent him (Mr. Davis) here to support and not to oppose the Administra tion, he would suggest- that other gentlemsa might as well execute their commission to sustain the Admi nistration. Re proceeded to answer the arguments of Mr. Cox. and said that when that gentleman and some of hie friends tendered their support to the Government be would look upon it with suspicion The morning hour having expired, the House pro ceed• d to the consideration of the business on the tineaker's table, The Gooduct of the The House:took up the Senate's joint resolution pro viding:or the appointment of a select comixt•ttee to in quire into the c.oduct of the war. It was referred to the Committee on Military affairs. • . Disposition of Commutation Money. The Hansa passed the Senate joint resolution. pro viding that all money paid by drafted persons shall be paid into the Treasury and drawn out on requisition. as are other public moneys, for the paymeut_sf the ex penses of drafting and the procuration ofVnb3titatee. for which purposes the -money. when so paid in, le hereby appropriated. Increase of Internal Revenue. The Eleure then went trite Committee of the. Whole on the etate of the Union, on the bill reverted from the. Committee on Ways and Means, to Increase the internal revenue and for other purposes. Tax on Spirits. Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, offered an amend ment, o that the proviso shall read that all spirits oistilled since the 31st of August, 1862, on hand for Bate. or removed" for consumption or rale. upon which the duties b ave been paid or collected, and upon which no returns have been made, (whether distilled prior to the date of th!s act or not, ) shall be subject to the rates of duty provided by this act, from and after the 12th day of January. 1)384. Mr. BROWN, of New York, desired to know whether the gentleman intended to report a general tax bill, and why be tad the pending billspropo4ed to increase the tax only on 4.pirits and cotton ? Mr. STRVEVS reptied,th at these two articles are being largely manufactured, and the legislation new proposed would enable the manufacturers to govern themselves accordingly. The Committee of Ways and Means found greater diiticultioe as to tobacco it being undetermined whether to levy the tax on the 101 l or to modify tae tax on Ihe manufactured article.. They desired to deliberate aleo on rjck oil. . • . .. • • . In reply to a rinestion asked hy Mr. Brooks, he said he said the amtunt of revenue expected to be derived from the whisky tax was twenty...five millions of dollars next year, and some said even thirty-five millions. Mr. BROOKS suggested that the bill was retroactive,and therefore, should not be acted upon hastily, it being of much interest. By increasing the tax on whisky was it not probable that smuggling would be stimulated over the Canada and provincial frontiers? Mr. STEVENS replied that men would drink whisky whatever it nest" . . Mr. ES CON'S, of New York, said that whisky was not used for drinking alone, but entered largely into manufactures. Alcohol under this bill world be taxed at least one dollar and twenty cants. The mann factorcre, anrafona ought to ass thin bill in fall, and have time to communicate with Congress before anal ac tion was taken upon it. There was an article in England called "methglated spirits," which, entering largely only into manufactures. was purposely made duty free In order to enable England to compete with other coun tries-, but by this bill no such article could be manufac tured without paying a heavy excise. Mr Stevens' amendment was agreed to. Several gentlemen spoke as to the effect of the tax on spirits, and among them Fernando Wood. who said that be intended to oiler an amendment, so that the excise shall fall upon all. including those who had gained an advantage by ascertaining in advance what was the re commendation of the Treasury Department Mo further action was taken on the bill. - The Committee then rose, and the House adjourned.
