MONDAY MORNING, FEB 8, 1664
PiESIDENT,LINCOLN '8 PROS-
PECTS
Notwithstanding the apparent unnim
ity of the Abolitionists, In favor of Mr.
.I.4ticoix ' s renomination, as ciemplified
by the mdvements Of 10 fete' 'Union
Leagues, it now appears as if his Excel
lency will have a hard road to travel in
his efforts toßatllmompetitOr# from his
course. A feW evenings ago en Aboli
tion congressional caucus assembled in
Washtngtou, which he was most vig
orously assailed by the leaders of the
offense:-Heaven save the
mark—was his want of radicalism. Fier
this he was denounced, and no one was
ready to defend him. The purpose of
this caucus was, it 11 , .W appear, to
force Mr. LD:corN into signing a little
bill which the Radicals intended passing
confiscating Southern property without
qualification. This the President itroNti
ed himself opposed at the lust session of
Congress, but it remains to he seen
whether he has_not in this, as in many
other cases, kept pace with I he ext rcmists
of his party. On Friday the confiscation
hill in question passed the House by
eight majority, and upon the President's
action in regard to its becoming. a law
will depend his future political pros
pects: If he abandons his honest con
victions and signs it he will be remem
bered, but should he dare. to be honest
his fate is sealed.
But independent of ttOs particular act
of Legislation, Mr. LINCOLN has made
himself quite obnoxious to the most ex
acting of his party—we allude to the
German radicals. In the West, where
those fierce revolutionary spirits are so
powerful, Mr. Ltscoix is ,h-it,nm.ed
with a vehemence that would cause
the arrest and banishment of a thousand
VALlA3rmortAms. As a specimen of this
denunciation read the following from a
St. Louis paper in relation to the late
callfpr volunteers. It remarks as fol
fows: "We call the most seriqus atten
tion of every friend of freedom and pa
triotto the astonishing fact, that ABRA
HAM LINCOLN orders another drilfl of
500,000 soldiers--conscripts--for the
army, and for the term of THREE YEARS,
or AS LONG AS THE WAR LASTS. The
proclamation which makes tltk ext Nor
Binary demand upon the pvol.lv doe,
not contain, as might be expected, a se
ries of preliminary remarks, preambles
and whereases, with which President
s ; nce,to issue proc amations in t is cause
of freedom, and with which he endeav
orsto excuse these actions in the eyes
of the 'alaveholders and rebels. Nothing
of the kind. In the most laconic style
af a European despot—•• Thus we com
mand!" this remarkable document pre
sents itself before our eyes: 500;000 men
morel Vo our readers know what this
signifies? For three years or du ring the
war! Can they perceive the vast possi
ble consequences? This is an astonish
ing event! It may determine the whole
future condition of the Republic! In the
name of this Republic, and in the mime
of the endangered liberty of the, people
we call upon every citizen to realize as
distinctly as possible all the dangers
which this measures threatens! 500,000
men more! Without a word of excuse,
without the least promise that this will
end the matter. :For three years or
longer! Without one word to explain
this extraordinary long time! In the
style of an all powerful despot, and at a
time when the same ABRAHAM LINCOLN
works with the energy of despair for his
re-election! When even from his imme
diate surrounding hints have been
thrown out, as if to sound the people,
that the preseni Pretrideht iN egually and
justly entitled to the next term also, EVEN
WITHOUT AN ELECTION BY THE PEOPLE;
and that the President has the power to
suspend this election by the pevie thr,, , tgh
the exercise of martial law.
We stand at the brink of a deep
abyss! Bottomless are stretched out be
fore our eyes the vast outlines of an all
powerful imperialism! And at a time
when a similar imperialism devours
Mexico, is it advisable—is it possible to
re-elect this man, who has already
shown his despotical desir€l,,, so repeat
edly in minor affrirs, and thus to help
in building up despotism! Nevermore.
The people should perceive more clearly
than ever; we must have another President
than Abraham Lincoln, whatever may
happen! Unless 500,000 men are again
to be sacrificed—not to mention the
millions of additional debt!—we must
have another President! A man of pow
er, courage, love of freedom and enercy!
A Republican!"
A CONTRAST
A Washington correspondent of that
excellent paper the Detroit Free Press. in
an interesting communication observes
that the best evidence of a statesman's
greatness is the fact of his having' more
admirers when dead than he bad when
among the living. That is t:ue of great
men who have enjoyed uncommon popu
larity, and of none more so than of An
drew Jackson. When lie uttered the
sentiment that "The Union, it must and
shall be preserved," the people of the
country, with all their enthusiasm did
iiiso‘o:eeinte their hero. Since the re
beficniviirokeont, all our living States

ALBANY„ January O.
MY DEAR SIR : Th:: rebellion hawing
assumed proportions which few, if any,
anticipated, it imposes corresponding
obligations, and demands from our rulers
and representatives the thoughtful exer
cise of their best faculties. The time ap
proachlr, if indeed it has not arrived,
when t le duties of the statesmen, in im
portance and difficulty, will rise even
above those of generals. If the rebellion,
on the one hand, has been the most
wicked and destructive the world ever
witnessed, it has, on the other hand,
been met by the loyal people with a spirit
and determination, and by sacrafice of
treasure and blood, wholly unparalleled
in the history of wars and of nations.
The people, great as the emergency, and
terrible as the ordeal, have moved them
selves equal to both. Three years of
1 eventful experience and observation has
taught Its one priceless and precious
truth, viz : that this rebellion is sure to
result in its own overthrow, in the yin
! dication of our government. and in the
i restoration of our Union. And the pen
alty for rebellion will be the inevitable
supervision of the power which caused
ed it--the ,mly retribution proportioned
I to the magnitude of the clime.
1 Assuming that Nye are, no matter at
l what further cost, and in defiance of all
• obstaeles, to preserve our Government
and Union, it behooves statesmen to di
vide their time and thoughts betwein
' the present and the future. We shall,
when the war terminates, find that it
has cost at least FOUR THOURA'SD MIL

Wllll the public domain immensely au4.
mented by valuable acpuisitious an redly
devoted to the payment of the national
debt, the national credit will he placed
upon an impregnable basis. In the pro
ceeds of that domain we should have a
fund annually increasing in amount, and
as enduringas time. The warended, we all
know with what an elastic spirit our peo
ple will return to their ordinary pursuits,
and with what giant strides our country
will resume its march of improvement.
The iron ways already pointing to the
Pacific will be presently pushed to their
destination, rendering the whole public
domain available. The population and
wealth of Europe will purchase, people,
and cultivate our territories, whose teem
ing inhabitants will soon organize tow -
states for admission into the Union.
After years of discussion and the popu
ular idea of ” voting yourself a farm "
obtained, and in 1561 the " 'Homestead
law" was enacted. This,in effect,rendered
i the public domain valueless to the gov
ernment. The argument in favor of the
I homestead measure, that the government
did not need ;the proceds of the public
lands, was then conclusive. But is it so
7i-our ? Shall we not, when the"din of
war ceases. need every available resource
to maintain the national credit ? The
war has Lace prosecuteed by the
indomitable energies of the people.
We are the creditoillrs of the govern
ment. Its securites are our only assets.
Nor as any other countries, or even in our
own, on tormer mcasions, are creditors
of the government confined to bankers
and capitalists. The farmer. the machan
h., and even the laborer , has honed his
earnings and his savings to the govern.
ment.
In view, therefore, of an approaching
momentous financial crisis—a crises
which, if not, so far as is possible, sea
sonably provided for, may prove as se
vere a trial as the war whin!' has produc
ed it—will not Congress immediately
rescue the public domain by a repeal of
the Homestead law Y There is no such
sure way offortifyingthenational credit.
There is no such easy, simple or equit
able mode of providing for the payment
of interest on the public debt. The pro
ceeds of the public domain, under a
proper sSiatetn, will ballast the treasu
ry. With that vast deposit, facilitating
the other financial operations of the
government, and easing the burdens of
the people, the country will shoulder
its debt,,aml the people, with confidence
in the wisdom of their government. will
go cheerfully to their work and watch,
that a destiny of greatness and glory for
the republic, temporarily arrested by
rebellion, may be triumphantly accomp
lished.
In a recent conversation with Govern
or Fish, upon the financial future of our
country, that gentleman suggested a diffi
culty which claims the earnest attention
of statesmen In the event which we
all contemplate—a restored Union—the
inauguration of a system of taxation,
adapted to the circumstances of the
country, will be a difficult and delicate
duty.. The then existing debt will have

wrong-doing, subjeCts its victims to "in

wise that we should make these "infe
licities" as little burdensome and irrita
ting as possible. ? -
All and each of the old states, and the
whole people, are jointly interested in
the public domain. It is a common in
heritance. And how can the enlightened
views and patriotic intentions or the fa
thers who bequeathed that princely estate
to us, he so faithfully observed 55 in de
voting it to the preservation of a Govern
ment and Union, transmitted with the
estate to our keeping?
The repeal of the Homestead law would
subject none who 'toted for it to a charge
or inconstancy. All the eircumstancee
and conditions of the country and people
have changed. The claims of the Gov
ernment, even those claims conflicted
with the interests of the people, are par
amount. But there is no such conflict.
Those for whose benefit that law was en
! acted arc now giving their services and
blood to the Government. And what is
prospective —home:newt — worth with
out a Government to protect and a Union
to concentrate it? Is it not, then, the
imperati‘ e duty of Congress to re, laim
and husband every acre of this broad,
fertile and rich domain Held, inviolably,
as a trust fund for the protection of the
national credit, our national debt, how
ever large, instead of depressing agricul
ture, manul'act urea and commerce, would
furnish guarantees for the fidelity of our
rulers and representatives, and impart
strength and stability to the Govt en
went. Very truly Yours.

made opposite the Smith Briggs, and a
desperate engagement continued until
our men were completely overpowered
by the superior numbers of the enemy,
which was cnntinually augmented by the
arrival of re-inforcements.
whilst fighting so bravely, our men
were shot clown with out the least mercy

large. The rebels, too, must have sutler

surmised that though the rebels were fi
