Senator Wilson ban opened our eyes. What puzzled us for a while, is plain enough new. It is clearly explained to us why, for some mouths past, the officers of the army Sim turned their attention to 'politics More tl!aa to m ilit a ry nearly the whole °fibs*. have, apparently,, , become abolitionized—why camps have been turned into League Clubs— why resolutions, .endorsing all the acts of dm administration, and tilled with imitation thun der, have been died at imaginary eopperheads and traitors tin the North, with as much des perate valor as minnie balls, grape, can ulster, eroultd, -shot and shell were ever fired againet the hosts of rebeldom in arms. All this has been •nevealed by Senator Wilson in a few words—the riddle is explained and aston ishment ceases. No officer enho , didn't swear /by the negro could be promoted. Merit was nothing. 'Rill, valor, even success—these were no pass ports to Eseoutive or Senatorial favor, unless they were aceotapswied with nndying love and veneration for-our distinguished fellow-citizens of African desoont. This is the secret of all the army resolutions approbatoty of the ad .ministration and their dusky proteges which for some menths,past have occupied so large a space in the Abolition papers. We suspected all the time there wan a darkey in the wood pileotud, sure enough, , there was. We have always respected the -negro, in his proper place—we have felt kindly-towards him —more so, perhaps, than moot of -the howling ,Abolitionists who are using him to their own advancement and his ruin. Bat. this, we . see, will no lengerde. We mast make him our idol—we must become idolatrous, and worship him. Well, since it is the faildenOf the times, we succumb. We embraoe Sambo as a being midway between-ourselves and the angels—a little higher than we and so near them that the tips of their wings -touch the crown -of his head. He is now.ouridol. But mark-what we say. We speak in -Borrow; but prophetically. The days of this idolare numbered. The time is not far distant when, in consequence, as a natural result of the unwise and pernicious, :the insane and wicked policy which now domi nates, this idol will be broken—broken in the wrath of an outraged and indignant peeple— broken and ground to .dust. That will -be the .win' ding up, the end, the cruel and yet unit -voidable and inevitable finale of Abolition philanthropy. •We have, however, under an impulse of feeling, or an inspiration, we know not which, digressed, and now return to Senator Wilson and our• suliect. At the anniversary of the Emancipation .League in Boston, a few days ago, Wendell who will not be satisfied until he makes the negro a god above all• other gods, ,0 @d th 9 administration with a deficiency of love for his dusky deity.
