U 1 all the abolition papers published
in this city, but one had its attention id
tracted to the fact of yesterday being
the bitili-dayof the Father of his l'oun
, try. The Continsrcia/ was the exception,
and itiutrddueed the name of the Blue
triune deceased more for the purpose of
partfien Abolitionism, than because of
Any genune adni i iration entertained for
his; luminous character. That GEonuE
W.xstitivrtrux, like many of his e0111pa•
tr:ots, and like the great I ody of the
Amerieen people now, was opposed to
• slavery in the abstract, is not Worth de
bating. One thing we know, he held
' slaves all his life, and did not free them
until his death. But where, in the life
and conversation pi the Father of his
Cbuntry, does the present spirit of Alm
find a warrant for its conduct
Nowhere. He looked upon slavery, as
the great body of his countrymen did,
as being an evil entailed upon the colo
nies by the mother country ; but he Wits
content to let his countrymen act as
they saw fit in regard to it. Some of
the States—thUae in New England and
the North—did not, like WASHINGTON,
nitWitafil their slates, but, on the con
trary, sold them into perpetual bondage ;
and, like genuine hypocrites, as soon as
theYreceived their price for "human chat
tels" they immediately began to declaim
against the sin of slavery; and they bare
kept up the agitation until succeeding in
plungingthe country in civil war. Yet,
notwithstanding this and the tolerant
teachings of Wasn't:GT(2i, and his broad
end general action, together with his
last advice to his countrymen, "to be
ware of sectional parties," the Comtner
ciql, in defiance of all truth upon the
stibject, draws the fellowing conclusion
from the life and example of WASHING
TON. It says :
In like manner, it is only %%hen thousands of
lives and millions of treasure hat e tx•en wasted
In suppressing treason that we appreciate the
value of the Institutions founded by a W esti-
INOTON..
What a shameful perversion of faits ae
wellas of language have we hre. if
we are only beginning to appreciate the
value of our institution, after the blood
of hundreds of thousands of our friends
and relations has been shed upon moun
tain, plain and bill side, and after the
coutrtry is groaning under a stupendous
debt, of four thousand million's, will our
neighbor please to measure the extent of
our admiration, after the war has
succeeded in doubling both? We are
anxious to know the limit of our rejoic
ing, over such inconceivable and unpar
alleled miseries, as this fearful struggle
has already entailed upqn our country.
But we turn front the Commercial'
conception of the character and teaching
of WASHINOToN, to the words of that
great man, himself; they were published
in our issue, yesterday, quoted by
um WEBSTER, in a letter written by him
on February 20th, 1851, in reply to the
Union Committee of New York, invit
ing him to attend the celebration of the
2221, thllowing. This extract will give
the reader DANIEL. WEBSTEIt's concep
tion of the great man in question; lie
says in the letter rererred I , e
Gentlemen, the character of W it INul ON 0,
among the most cherished contemplations of my
life. It is o fixed star in the firmament of great
name;, shining, without twinkling or obscura
tiOrt, with clear, steady, beneficent light. It is
associated and blended with all our reflections on
those things which are near and dear to us. If
we think of the independence of our country,
we think of him whose efforts were so promi
nent lit achieving it; if we think of the C`onsti-
Aution which it leaves us, we think of hint who
did so much to establish it, and whose adminis
fiat-lon of its power Is acknowledged to be a
Model for his successors. If we think of glory in
the field, of tvisdocu in the cabinet, of t he purest
patriotism, of the highest integrity, public and
private, or moral, without a stain, of religious
feelings without intolerance and without extrar
agluace, the august figure or WASHINU lON pre
sents itself as the personation of all these ideas.
Where is there a leading Abolitionist
in the Union whose conduct shows that
he has taken this character of WASHINU
TOT for his example? 11 - isle:n.l of the
liberal and tolerant spirit interpreted by
WEBSTER, we have, in the conduct of
Abolitionism, the very reverse; it knows
nothing but intolerance, arrogance and
blood. But Mr. WEBSTER proceeds:
When WsartEctiroN, In behalf of the conven-
•• , tion presented to the old Congress and to coup
, , ; ~; 41AL Constitution which was the production
;,..
', eir,patriotic and assiduous labors, he made
A i
• • ' • ' niost important declaration: "In all our
4 . (*liberations upon this sulijeet, we kept steadily

Lo r i li aa littreirts of every trite American, the con
-^°not our Union, In which is involved our
roswlly, felicity, safety, perhaps our national
•-• • his =portant consideration, se
riously and deeply impressed on our minds, led
each State in the convention to be less rigid on
points of interior magnitude than might have
been otherwise expected; and thus the Lionstitu
lion whiet w e now preseni is the result of a
spirit of amity, and at that of mutual deference
and concession IN bids the peculiarity of our v.,-
litleal situation rendered indispensable."
Where do we find anything like this
in the councils of Abolitionism? No
where; the cry of "blood-letting" com
menced in 1431. is now heard in hoarser
tones in 1864. In truth; the party

One of the: signs of the times d'emon•
strafing the fixed popularity of Gen. Mc•
CLELLAN among the soldiers of the Poto
mac Army, occurred in New York city
on Thursday last. The first New York
Cavalry reginumt, one of the few which
has escaped annihilation under the man-
agement of Lts«)L.ti, HALLE:ea itlEl
STANTON, was given a public reception.
The Herald thus describes the st cue
which took place alter a good dinner at
the .T EFFERS4 ix Mat ket drill-room, demon
strating that Abolitionism has not yet
succeeded in damaging Mt CIELLAN in '
the estimation of the soldiers, any more ;
than it has in the opinion of the people.
"After having clone justice to t lie good
things provided for them, the soldiers
were welcomed by the chairman of the
Committee on .s.( i iitional Affairs, and their
cuunel responded in a neat speech. To
add to the pleasura hie emoticns of this ,
festive scene, General McCt.Em AN was
announced The moment the men heard
his name they became excited. the meet
enthuiastic cheers gieetcd "Little tl.t "
who was forced to nods( a short a Lit
to the ••tioys Ile spoke to them l(
expressing a hope that he might
again serve with them. The General's
words produced a profound effect upon
the soldiers, who seemed one and all -
termined to embrace him.—

The letter we publis•hed from Winches-
ter, Va., yesterday, will be read with
curious interest throughout the country,
as it proves what has long been suspect
ed, that guerrillas fighting and scouting
from both armies has degenerated into
organiged brigandage. It is now well
established that the late raid upon the'
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was com
mitted by a gang of freebooters under
command of onelkl ajor Harry Gilmore.
The hand has been outlawed by the reb
el military authorities, and is composed
indiscriminately of deserters from both
armies. When robbing Union families
guerrillas ; and when
theythey claimmalt in
b
e ade:cent upon a rebel cow
munity they are "Jessie Scouts" or mil
ers, and so they rub both parties and
claim the protection of both.
In Virginia these rogues have a splen
did country (for their purpose) to oper
ate in. Between Martinsburg and liar
! per's ferry on the north and Wo-dstock
and Front Royal on the south, and from
the Blue ridge on the east to the North
mountains on the west, they have for
their operations an intricate net-work of
roads, which they scour at night with
all the impunity of. infallible familiarity
and impenetrable disguise.
Gilmore, the leader, is a man of gcod
family and has been well educated. A
romantic interest is sought to be attach
ed to his name, which the deeds of him
self and gang do not warrant- They are
simply thieves without courage or gal
lantry, and both the contending armies I
