"A sentiment not to be appalled, corrupted o t
compromised. It knows no baseness; it cowers to
no daeger; it opp no weakness. Destructive
only of despotism, it is the sole conservator of lib

This does seem a little odd, but its oddity
is not a whit greater than its truth. Yet
the position is not quite correctly stated by
the .Reptdditan. There is a sense in which
it is true to the letter. The President has
certain negro projects peculiarly his own,
in which the Democrats sympathize with
him as little as do the Abolitionists—they
are such, however, as are harmful only in
consequence of the particular time in
which they are indulged. For instance,
the President's Emancipation crotchet
with compensation to the owner, if brought
about by the 'States thenzselevs, without na
tional interference, would be all right
enough. In that case the decision would
be left to those interested in it, and nobody
would have the right to complain.
The President, it is true, might have
some trouble in convincing the nation that
it ought to spend the snug little sum
which paying for these negroes would
take out of the Treasury, already depleted
by the necessary expenses of the war, and
there is plausibility in the position, that WARNING Or HENRY GLAY.

In the President's policy in relation to
his treatment of the slavery question, the
Democrats do not sympathize with him.—
They care little about that question one
way or the other, except that it has the
protection which the laws of the country
give it, and if its friends embark it in the
Rebellion and thus destroy it, no Demo
crat, we presume, will care a straw. And
this appears to be very much the position
of the President upon the subject, if we
understand it.
The President's war policy and his gen
eral politics are quite different things. It
is true that many members of the present
Congress who are of the same political
party with the President are not the sup
porters of his war policy. In his letter
to Greeley the Pi esident declares his pur
pose to be, to so prosecute the war, as to
secure, if possible, the restoration of the
Union, regardless of the fate of slavery :
if it fall, well ; and if it stand, well; but
the restoration of the Union is the prima
ry object of the war. But it is needless to
say that many members of Congress who
are of the President's party, politically,
do sot Concur in the views expressed in
the Greeley letter. They are for the war,
but is quite a different spirit. The de
"motion of slavery is the primary object

THE NEXT CMGEI23B.
The American people can have no more
important political duty to discharge than
in the selection of their Representatives
in the next Congress. Consequences the
most momentous depend upon the action
of the people on this subject. The thought
ful citizen cannot fail to have seen that
much of the actual legislation, and ore
of the attempted legislation, of
session of Congress, has been e remely
mischievous in its tendency, and calcula
ted to depress the hope for a speedy re
storation of the Union. Three-fourths of
the time of that Congress was devoted to
the propagation of fanaticism, wild, unrea
soning and thoughtless of consequences,
aud4incaring for them.
What, would not the cause of the
Union suffer from'the return of such an
other Congress ?—what but disaster and
ruin? This Congress, by its crazy fanati
cism, has almost left the Union without
an adherent in the South. In the Border
States it has done incalculable mischief,
and even in the North it has done much to
dampen the hopes of the patriot, and to
cause despair of that ardent and united
action which we must have to put down
this most wicked Rebellion against the
best Govern Meat the world ever saw.
The men of property in the Border
States are the staunchest friends of the
Union, because they feel that in the
Union, they have the best security for the
protection of that property ; and that an
archy and confusion can alone be expect
ed from division. The industrial interests
of the Border States are by no means
identical with those of the coast States--
while the one will always be planting
States, in consequence of the teeming
wealth of the soil, the others interspersed
with mountain regions with an arid soil,
but filled with tuineral wealth, will be
more fitted for manufacturing purposes,
and hence there would hereafter arise, as
now, the annoying question of free trade,
and high protection tariffs to disturb their
harmony, and soon to result in the clamor
for another separation. The sagacious
Border State men cannot fail to see this
and hence their unwillingness to join
their fortunes with the Southern Confed
eracy. Their natural alliance, if the idea
of separation unfortunately ever come to
be a necessity, would be wish time Border
Free States.
But they have, hitherto, clung with
amazing tenacity to the Union, as their
only safety. But bow long can we hope
they will continue in this mind, if the next
Congress, like the last, shall be filled with
mischievous and fanatical Abolitionists,
who would not give a copper for the re
storation of the Union, unless slavery
shall be iolently blotted out of existence?
Half of the wealth of these people is in
; vested in this kind of property, and yet
these crazy Abolitionists demand of them
to make that sacrifice, in addition to the
money they have already made for the
Union cause, and they affect surprise at
their unwillingness to make this sacrifice,
simply to gratify a whim, a fancy, a taste!
Could folly and fanaticism go further?
The question as to how the cause of the
Union is to recover the friends it has lost
during the past session, by the mischievous
isayings and doings of the last Congress
is worthy the careful attention of the cit
izen and patriot.
The remedy is in the hands of the peo
ple, and they, we hope, will not fail at the
next Congressional election to drive these
fanatics from the halls of Congress, by the
, potent influence of the Ballot Box ! !
and implacable animosities which ever de
graded or deformed human nature. A vir
tual dissolution of the Union will have
taken place while the forms of its exis
tence remain.
MILLARD FILLMORE.
A St. Louis gentleman, writing from
Buffalo, says:
"I had the pleasure of shaking hands
with the honorable Millard Fillmore, Ex-
President. He did not hesitate to express
his views upon the present state of affairs
of our country. He is a conservative man.
I give you his own words: 'That the Abo
litionists in Congress had undone what the
Army had dons.' He thought that the Pres
ident had done well under the cireum
stances."
POSTPONEMENT OF THE DRAFT.
The Harrisburg Telegraph says:—We
have been authorized to announce that it
has been decided to postpone the draft un
til the 25th inst. The authorities have
been induced to make this decision in or
der to accommodate the officers who are
engaged tor the preparation of the draft,
but if these are not, soon completed there
will be no necessity, at least no material
from which to draft, as the people are all
rushing to arms.

solemnly impress it on the nation
that, no matter how high in office,
or how wide the rule teaches, no
emancipation policy is of any value
unless its earnest and downright
friends are put at the head of affairs.
Let us state now, that whenever
President Lincoln, according to his
promise to Mr. Greeley, adopts a new
method, dictated by necessity, we de
mand, according to good sense and
national usage, that he put into the
Cabinet men who have advocated
that policy since the beginning of
the war, and give the control of the
army to soldiers whose hearts are in
that plan—soldiers like Sigel, who
have never met a reverse, and like
Fremont, who, thwarted at every
point, and robbed of both men and
supplies, can still boast that, thus far
he is the only General before whom
Stonewall Jackson has retreated,
though having two men to our one.
This demand springs from no weak
partiality for favorite men, but is an
imperative necessity, a fair claim, a
simple conformity with approved and
judicious customs."
The Times thus comments on this arti
cle:—
Mr. LINCOLN will perceive from this
that he is expected to adopt not on
ly a thorough and radical Abolition
policy in his conduct of the war, but
to put in power thorough, radical
Abolitionists—the men who have
been such from the beginning—to
carry it into effect. Possibly, every
thing else has been done which they
may think necessary in this connec
tion, they may ask him to resign on
the same principle, and put Mr. Wen
dell Phillips in his place. We should
gain one point by this : Mr. Phillips,
if he should accept the office, would
be obliged to take an oath to support
the Constitution of the United States
—which he never has done yet.
These fanatics are at (cast frank in
speaking their treasonable sentiments and
open in their hostility to the President's
policy of carrying on the war, and it be
hooves the Democratic party, and conser
vative men of all parties, to watch, with
the utmost vigilance, their movements
and to lose no opportunity in warning the
people against the danger of trusting such
men in places where they will have an
opportunity of doing mischief.
The approaching Congressional election
will afford the first opportunity since the
commencement of our troubles, for the
people to put their emphatic condemna
tion upon all their mad schemes, and we
trust that the thoughtful voter will look
carefully at the effect of his vote, before
he casts it. It will be safe to vote for no

Resolved, That the people justly view

which pervades every department of the
Federal Government ; that a return to rig
id economy and accountability is indispen
sable to arrest the systematic plunder of
the Public Treasury by favored partizans
—while the recent startling developments
of frauds and corruptions at the Federal
Metropolis show that an entire change of
Administration is imperatively demanded."
The Republican Party after the Election.
The following confeasion was made by
the lion. Mr. Dawes, a Republican mein
tier of Congress from Massachusetts, on
the2sth of April, in which licsexposed the
corruptions of Lincoln's Administration:
"The gentlemen must remember that in
the first year of a Republican Administra
tion, which came into power upon profes
sions of Reform and Entrenchment, there
is indubitable evidence abroad in the land
that somebody has plundered the public
treasury well nigh in that single year as
much as the entire current yearly expense
of the Government during the Administra
tion which the people hurled from power
because of its corruption."
