The °Mee and the Man.
. Abraham Lincoln declared in his inaugural
-address that he had "no purpose, directly or
indirectly, to interfere with the institution of
slavery in the States where ii exists," that he
believed he had "no lawful tight to do so, and
had no inciimaion to do so." Having "no
purpose," "no lawful right . " and "no kali
patina to do so," he has nevertheless done it.
What confidence can be placed in such a man,
who has deliberately falsified his word ? He
las lied to the Attierittan people—from his ex
alted position, as President of the United
States, he has been guilty of falsehood. Who
can, henceforth, confide in him ? He has for
feited his word, he has violated his oath, who
van believe, who respect him? None—not one
honest truth-loving man, who is not a fool' or
a partisan bigot. The office-holders will shout
for him, the plunderers of the treasury and
the fanatics who are laboring solely for the
emancipation and elevation of the negro, the
mere mercenary wretches, devoid of principle
and patriotism, who are working for pay alone,
in one capacity or another, all the hangers-on
of the camp and the kitchen, will crook the
pliant hinges of the knee, that thrift may fol
-low fainting; but in all the broad land there
is not one honest, loyal American heart will
. 46 do him reverence." The office, duty and
loyalty alike compel us to respect—the man,
they equally compel us to despise.
Ira leader in yesterday evening's Telegraph
is a tissue of falsehoods. We shall only refer
to. those which immediately concern our
-selves. We are charged with having " de
nounced " the resolutions of the Pifty-Se
venth.regiment—an absolute and unqualified
falsehood. We inferred, without reading them,
from the flourish of trumpets with -which they
were introduced, that they were favorable to
the administration, and remarked that we
should like to see a regiment of soldiers in the
service undertake to pass any of a different
character; for it seemed very clear to is that,
although they might entertain opinions adverse
to the administration, yet their position pre
vented them from expressing any, and, there
fore, if they spoke at; all in a tone that could
be heard at Washington, or even at brigade
headquarters. it must be in the voice of praise.
That's What we said, and all we said—and not
all the lying, fulsome, nauseating, hypocritical
stuff that the Telegraph can crowd in its
columns can make it blacker or whiter than it
really is. The only question about it is, "Is
it true ?" When the Telegraph meets that ques-.
tion fairly, which we do not think it dare do,
it may vapor and blow till its lungs burst. As
to tiddlers' rights and soldiers' interests, we
-flatter ourselves that we have, on all proper
occasions, sustained them with far more sinceri
ty, if in fewer words, than the Telegraph, who
overdone the thing, mud, like a bungling em.
pyrio, administers an emetic where he meant
to give a tonic.
Seward and the Radicals.
The radicalism of Abolitionisni has become
so extreme that even the promulgator of the
se irrepressible conflict" doctrine is too con
servative a man for them. They are now
using extraordinary efforts to displace Seward
from the State Department and substitute a
successor whose opinions have kept pace with
their own—Sumner, perhaps—or Phillips, or
Greeley. ' Seward has been guilty, since his
accession to the Secretaryship, of many things
distasteful to them; but there is one of his acts
which is odious to them, for which they cannot
- forgive him. This act is the one. on which
- their opposition now specially binges, and the
President must succumb to their clamor, as he
has heretofore done, or his own head will not
be, safe. In one of his letters to our Minister
44 , London, Mr. Adams, Secretary Seivard uses
Ibis true and emphatic language :
-"It seems as if the extreme advocates of
African slavery and 'its most vehement oppo-
Dents WERE ACTING IN CONCERT TOGETHER TO
paRCIPITATE A SERVILE wan,--the former by
Inaba' g the most desperate attempt to over
throw the. Federal "Union, the - Lamm BY DE
XAMITNG AN EDICT OF usavaRSAL EMANCIPATION
as a lawful and necessary, if not, as they say,
the only legitimate way of saving the Union."
This letter has been flaunted in Mr. Lincoln's
face by the incensed radicals, and reparation
'for the pretended wrong and insult dema n d e d.
;Bo .fierce and terrible were their invectives
-against the offending Secretary on the occa

removal, that, Mr. Lincoln,. to secure himself
*om persenal denunciation, we- preeume,de
nled all knowledge of the offensive missive ;
mhereupon it was announced' in the Tribune
that the Seeretary was in the habit of sending
off important , dispatches without consulting
the President or even informing him of their
contents. This charge Mr. Seward has
promptly and fatly denied, in a sommunioar:
formal which how bee* emit from tha pate
Department since betook of f ice ; even, he adds,
this communication to you. This, of course,
makes the President partieer criminia, and
what the upshot of the matter will be not even
the President, we presume, can at this moment
sal. If Weed can manage to-hi:ice the Impe
rial back-bone and keep the spinal goltunn ,
and kneeloinin of his Majeity stiff s Seiiiked
will be retained and the radicals .defeated.
But we have lost faith in Weed' manipulatary
power over Abraham die Fink TliCre is hot
negro enough about him to make him effective
in that quarter; and, unless Seward can secure
the services of the Hartian Charge d'Affaires,
or some other wally, kead,of equal distinction
and like pungent odor, we fear it is all.up with
him, and the radical.triumph secure.
Tl:eanonable and Bloody
'We have not a donbt that 't6 " Union
League" of the Abolitionists is to be au armed
league, not to support, but to cruel; the Consti
intion and the Union. There is evidence
enough of this to make it a subject of serious
reflection with every loyal man. The Telegraph,,
of this city, which is a staunch advocate of the
" League," is not an avocate of the Condi
ttitiOn and the Vaion. The Philadelphia Bul
letin, a Arent fs League" paper, in a leading
editorial on "The Ship of State," gives its
sentiments plainly in these words :
" Now, some say, we are for the Won as
it , was.' What if you are ; • you oansrot have
it ; the stuff that was in it, is too rotten, and
would not stand the'preseiure if yeti could put
it back. You could.not trust it; - nobody but
Secessionists, Copperheads and Traitors would
•
go to see in the old hulk."
God of our Fathers ! has it come to this ?
Loyal people of America, is it so ihst none but
secessionists and traitor. would longer -trust, to
the old Constitution and the - old Union for
safety is - It is a base lie—it is a fotl slander
on the loyal people of the United States. None
but a black-hesrted traitor would have ,con
ceived it, and palsied be the hand forever that
traced with a pen the atrocious sentiment.—
And yet this man, who has so belied his loyal
countrymen, ie but a little bolder than-the rest
of the conspirators - who are engaged in the
work of forming " Union Leagues." Their
all entertain the sentiment, but only a few Ips
shameless enough to give utterance to its—.
And look at their hypocrisy, in asking people
to join a " Union League," when, by the very
confession,, they make, theii object is the auk-
version of the Uaiorcf which they tell you is
" rotten" and confided in by " nobody but Se
cessionists, Copperheads and Traitors." Con
scious that their own object is treasonable,
they seek safety in crying out "treason" against
the loyal, and try to make up for their treach
ery to the Constitution by the basest and most
degrading servility to the administration. But
these observations are somewhat foreign to
the purpose with which we set out. That was
to give some evidence that the secret society
called "Union League" is designed to be an
armed organization. We find enough to satisfy
us in the speech delivered recently to "Union
Leaguers" in Indiana, by Major den. Lewis
Wallace, in which he boldly said , :
" I have given you the alarm. What do I
advise ? I advise you to organize, not politi
cally, but in the style of soldiers."
We all know that military organization is
armed organization, and this is the "style"
whiak Cleueral Wallace luirdvinas" the Willa
"Union Leaguers" to adopt.
An armed secret "League," especially when
we know it to be a politicatorganization, united
to sustain the usurpations of an administra
tion which has ridden rough-shod over the
Constitution and bent all its energies to the
suppression of peisonal freedom, the liberty
Of (speech and of the press, is a dangerous or
ganization, hostile to the spirit of our institu
tions, and greatly imperilling the peace and
safety of the communities in which it exists. It
invites violence, it courts disorder, it embodies
the spirit of riot and tumult, it breaks down
the barriers which custom and law have erected
for the public safety, and opens wide the ave
nues to civil commotion and bloodshed. It is,
in fact, incipient revolution, and those who
value peace and order and personal safety,
should frown it down. The "advice" of Gen.
Wallace, which we have reason to apprehend
has been well received and will be acted upon
by multitudes of infatuated men in the East
as well as the West, is most atrocious and dam
nable advice. The man who could stand up
among a crowd of heated partisans and deli
berately give it, must be either a demon or
insane. He either calculated its awful conse
quences with the cool deliberation of a devil
gloating over the prospective horrors of blood
shed and every revolting crime of which human
passion is capable, or he was, at the time, a
madman, irresponsible for what he said. It ih
terrible to contemplate the consequences of one
portion of the people secretly arming against
another. It must not be supposed, the fact
being once understood to be as we have stated
it, that the arming will be confined to one side.
Such a supposition would be rediculous. Once
begun, by one . party or the other," it will soon
be general, and then a blow struck in the heat
of passion, a word carelessly spoken, or even
an angry look may bring on, in a moment,
scenes that the mind shrinks from contempla
ting.
We raise our voice, in time we hope, against
all such secret armed societies. There is no
occasion for them. - Their inception is evil, the
end will be bloody.
Oa this saw subject a cotemporary well ob
serves : "The man who plans a solitary homi
cide, who scuttles a ship with a view to drown
the crew and passengers, or who sends an in
fernal machine in the hope to destroy a 'family,
is but a petty oriminal•in comparison with him
who plots and advises to break the peace of a
great community and set its .members to mur
dering each other."
The expedition under Gen. Washburn to
open, the Yazoo Pass is said, by advises received
at Washington, to have been entirely success
ful, and promises to furnish the key to the
capture of Vicksburg. There is nothing known
at Washington of , the reported disaster to our
army at Vicksburg. It is not credited. The
Petersburg Express of Saturday last says that
a great battle had been fought, with heavy
losses on bath eidesi but Without any decided
success. •

boastful of our large liberty--sensitive.to the
smallest approach of anything which tieemed

tyranny has been too mach for us. Our knees
have weakehed under it. The shoulders which
it galled at first, and stripped of skin, have
healed and hardened, and though thiburden
is no lighter, the bearer has less feeling. The
jealous, anxious care for their liberties, the
glory and safeguard of a free people, which a
breath could have arouse, now ildeeps ,
,tran
quilly through a gale. The nation stupidly
snores, like Captain Gulliver, while the pig
mies of Abolition set their pegs and strand
their cords, bind the strong hands, pinion the
vast body to the earth,„plunder the capacious
pockets, and street like lords upon the broad
breast of the ensnared and conquered giant.
There was a time when a wrong done. to one
of ,our humblest citizens was felt as a personal
indignity to us all. Now, the brutal myrmi
dons of warped power can hunt down'the best
men in the land, and lay them in : dungeons,
and the outrage fails to stir the paralysed
heart of the nation, causes it no flutter, tier
quickens it a beat. With slavish selfishness we
crouch to the hand . which gives us, by tole
rance, a little mite of that liberty, which our
&there left us as wbirthright. Instead of Mim
ing to 'avenge the wrongs of -our doomed and
kidnapped brother, whose birthright has been
filched from him, we are thankful, abjectly
grateful to Heaven mid to Lincoln, for the
precious bounty of being ourselves at large.
We court indignity. We embrace shame.
Statute books have become waste-paper—the
Constitution a jest—proclamations- and mani
festos the supreme law—the Governors of sov
ereign States errand boys, pimps, and scullions
in the service of the National Executive.
Courts of justice are awed and silenced by the
bayonet. Congress has bernme a servile echo
of the voice of the President—a mere sound
ing -board to - .reverberate his utterances' that
they may smite and deafen the popular ear
with more awful significance. The *treasury is
plundered and beggared by swarms of thieves—
the best blood in the land gone and lost, soak
ing the fields of fraitless battles—patriots
rotting in Government prisons, and Abolition
traitors voting away the lives and fortunes of
our people in the Senate and House—the pul
pit prostituted by vagabond politicians preach
ing slavish obedience to tyranny as the whole
duty of man—with this weight of multitudi
nous wrongs and sorrows upon us, we preserve
our stolidity—we 'felicitate ourselves that,
though already slaves, and.fast becoming beg

hand that smites us—we humble ourselves, not

:Sat a more agreeable attitude, and a broader
surface for future kicks.
But the weakness of the enslaved re-acts
upon the enslaver.. The shattered spirit of a
free people cannot be restored even by. the tonic
of tyrants—the bayonet and the ball. The
people who have parted with their liberties to
an oppressor at home, have ceased to be for
midable •to any foreign foe. The apathetic
soul which can watch with listless and indif
ferent eye the unlawful arrest of a fellow citi
zen, and hear unmoved the clank of his chains,-
will not be roused, believe me, by the tramp
of invading hosts or the thunder , of hostile
cannon. The great North—populous, power
,ful, glowing with excess of life, two.years ago,
conscious of immense physical strength and
proud of the unfettered arms which wielded
it—is zullen, prostrate; abased. Tie tyrant
has done his work. The black and larbarous

evacuating Vicksburg, and , that tire gunboat
Carotid°let and five others had reached Talla

Lake Providence still favorable; about a mile
of the track of the Memphis and Charleston
railroad, near. Mose°lir, had been sub Merged
several days , and bridgbs sunk so that trains
could not run.
Special dispatches from Wasbingtoa to New

official information of the capture of Port
M'Allister, at the mouth of the Ogechee river,
by our iron•olodo. '
A Hilton Head letter of the 27th ultimo,
says. the troops are under ciders to embark,
and the next steamer will probably bring in
telligence of the attack on Charleston.
The only thing the Committee of Judiciary

day before, with a mile and a half of rifle pits,
by the 4711‘New York regiment aided by, the
gunboats. The 47th lost 150 in killed, woun
ded and missing. Two regiments had been
sent to reinforce them.
Gen. Roeocrane appears to be on the move.
On the 2d inst. he had advanced to Middlebo
rough, half way between Murfreesboro' and
Shelbyville. A force of twenty-six hundred
cavalry and infantry had encountered a por
tion of Morgan's command at Bradyville and
dispersed them after a sharp skirmish, in which
we lost one mankilled and a captain and seven
men wounded. The enemy's. loss was eight
killed and twenty wounded. Gen. Rosecrans,
in a dispatch to Gen. Halleck, says that Cols.
Paramour and Long went in with sabres And
whipped the rebels in three minutes, Starke's
cavalry advancing bravely with carbines." We
took seventy prisoners, including eight officers,
their camp equipage, tents, saddles, seventy
horses and Basil Duke's regimental papers.

• We have pretty full report of the winding
up of the House of Representatives, of which
an abstract will be sufficient. The .House re
fused, 66 to 47, to suspend the rules to take
up the bills for the admission of Nevada and
Colorado Territories as States. The Committee
of Conference report on the miscellaneous ap
propriation bill was adopted. There was con
siderable contest on a motion of Washburne,
of Illinois, to reconsider the vote by which the
minority report of the Committee on Contracts,
made by Mr. Van Wyok, was ordered to be
printed. The contents . of the report never
came to the knowledge of the Committee, Mr.
Washburne said, until late last night, and it
contained slanders which ,should not go to the
country unrebuked. Mr. Van Wyok replied,
and concluded by moving that the motion of
the gentleman from Illinois to reconsider be
laid'on the table—which was agreed to. Mr.
Washburne then rose to a privileged question,
and deolared that the minority report had been
abstracted from the files by a member of the
House, and asked for a committee of investi
gation, vihich was granted, with leave to re
port before twelve o'clock—it being then half
past eleven. Mr. Fenton, of N. Y., made an
explanation in regard to the subject. Motion

the Senate and the President until, at last, the

Advantages of the Radiating Frames over the 07d
Fashioned Ones—The large size holds more clothes
than an ordinary clothes horse, and yet occupies much
less room. It is intended to hang up, by means of 8,
single screw, against the wall, and is entirely out of the
way both when in and out of use, and deed never be
moved. It is particulary convenient in all families in
which the meals are taken in the same apartment where
the housework is done. It is indispensable to ladies
that are boarding. It is out of the reach of children
in the nursery, and It is Bold at a very moderate price.
