No brut can resist the conchision, after
fully. reading and reflecting upon Mr.
Lincoln's Message, that the President is
one of the best politicians in the North,
and—one of the poorest statesmen.
Tait estimates of Government expenses
for the fiscal year commencing June 3003,
1864, and ending Juno 30th,„ 1865, are
fixed by Secretary Chase, at $793,421,374,
of which $85,387,676 are for interest on
' the public debt, $500,000,000 for the army
proper, and $42,000,000 for the naval es
tablishment.
Ws acknowledge no man as a Democrat
who is: not a firm and consistent friend of
the Union. Democricy means Union,
just as the Bible\ means love, the sun
light, the clouds rain. The perpetuation
t
of the Union is the . m and substance of
every Democratic rinciple, and the
sachings of all our great men. The first
thing that a true Democrat learns is to
love the Union and. the Constitution, and
_ when he deserts these noble' maxims, ha
has no further right to claim to be a Dem
ocrat. Jeff. Davis is no Democrat, any
more then

are. Democracy embraces the whole
country, not a portion of it ; it teaches
• 'unity, nottctionalism ; it inspires res
pect for laws and constitutional liberty,
and knows no such despotic sentiments
as are contained in the delusive phrases
"military necessity," "war poWer," "no
right to oppose an Administration," and
other like opinages from the Abolition
disunion mint,
THE PREBIOBIIT AND FRED. DOUGLAS.
Fred. Douglas, the black man, made a
speech borer& the Anti-Slavery Society. in
Philadelphia,! on the sth inst.. which is
reporlid in the New York Tribune. In
the course of his remarks, he detailed a
Nina hi) had just paid to Mr. Lincoln. He
said: "Men had waited in the anti-cham
ber for days, hut the moment his card was
sent in the usher returned with an invita
tion to . walk up. Some office beggar near
by, remarked, ' I knew it would be so.
He's a nigger, that's enough.' Mr. Doug
las aaketP4he 'audienee to imagine how
the President received him, a colored
- man. 'Why, precisely,' said he, 'as one
gentleman receives another." Be closed
his speech with the assertion " that the
old Union as it was could never be re
called: Its canonized bones vrere. quietly
-inurned upon the battered walls of Fort
'Sumter, and the nation had come to
think that the dear old finger of John
Brown was worth all the slavaholders in
creation. There would, in future, be no
North, no South, no East, 'no West, but
Union everywhere ; every slave free, and
every freeman a voter."

The Message of Jefferson Davis to the
rebel Congressis published in full in the
New York 41 - apers : It frankly acknow
ledges the discon r \ngements which hang
over the Confederacy, butaays tho people
of the South will never submit to any-
Wing but independence. Hci accuses
England .and France of hostility to the
South, and with having favored the Fed
eral caws. He recommends that no more
substitutes be received for drafted per
sons,, and that all between 15 and 45 be
placed into the army, while others above
the latter age, be detailed on special light
duty. He wants all white persons em
ployed in the army as cooks, teamsters,
Ac., to be thrown into the ranks,• and
their present duty performed by negroes.
He urges an increase of taxation to step
the depreciation of the currency. He
claims to regret the stoppage of exchang
es, places the blathe on our authorities,
and indignantly denies the statements
that the rebels have ill-treated our prison
ers.
Gov. Letcher's Message to the rebel
Legislature of Virginia says " Look at
the picture on all sides, and it presents
hopeful and encouraging features. If we
are only_ true to ourselves, to the cause,
and the country, we cannot be over
thrown." Ho 'claims that Virginia "'will
never.consent to a treaty of peace which
dismembers her own territory, nor will
she consent to a treaty which does not re
cognize fully the Southern Confederacy."
Gen. Charles Clark; recently elected,
was inaugurated Governor of Mississippi
on the 16th inst. He urges the vigorous
prosecuticin of measures for the defense
of the State, and says that sooner than
sulgnit to the_ foe, should the army be
come exhausted, the women, children,
and old men will, like the remnant of
Pascagoula, join hands and march into
the sea.
The Governor of Georgia is trying "to
devise means whereby the State can keep
up its manse resistance during the war.
He recommends that cotton planting be
restricted to one-fourth of an acre to the
hand, and that every energy be directed
to the production of food ; that $500,000
be appropriated to'support soldier fami
lies; $8,000,000 be appropriated as a mili
tary fund ; and $2,000,000 as a clothing
fluid ; that the -militia be re-organized so
as to include all between eighteen and
sixty ; and finally, he wants a day of hu
miliation and prayer, which these ex-
Oases would naturally bring a man to
who sees so little hope of their availing
anything in favor of the rebellion.

No- person who is an attendant upon
public_ worship, in any portion of the
United States, can have failed to oblerve,
and if he had a proper iippreeiaticin of
the duties of a clergyman', or a sincere
desire for the interests Of Aihristiardtf, to
deplore, the extent to which politics are
usurping the place of religion in the pul
pit. In fact, this sad truth is so nam
able, that matiy of our best and most
patriotic citizens of both parties, are often
heard tolremark that iii the cases of too
min/ pAsachers, their sermons have de
generateil into mean stump speeches, and
We are bpund injustice to say, that they
are the very weakest and purest of the sort.
A minister always makes the molt mis
erable politician, Pastas an unscrupulous,
brawling politician would make the *most
useless preacher. The clergy, and we say
it only because truth compels, not be
cause it is a pleasing duty, are taking a
more and more active part in politigal
movements. You will hardly fled a Poli
tical convention in which-one or more
the most active and noisy members are
not clergymen. If you enter church on
any Sunday in the year, the chances are
at least even that you will hear a political
harangue, which part of the audience will
be moved to applaud, and part to hiss.
The political opinions.which are enun
ciated from the pulpit, are generally ac
companied frith's mod offensive dogma
tism and positiveness. This is natural
enough. The clergyman is regarded with
peculiar deference; as a man removed
from secular struggles and secular stains,
and set apart to break the bread cif ,life to
the people. He is • rarely contradicted ;
he is treated by men as men treat women;
be is never subjected to - an intellectual
rough and tumble ; an atmosphere of re
spect surrounds him, which protects / him
as cotton protects disutonds. Upon sacred
and religioui , topics herhas a right to speak
with authority ; not only to soothe and
heal - and bless, but warn and rebuke and
admonish ;he is false - to his trust, if he
do not. But the habit of mind thus gen
erated is easily transferred to secular
themes. The priest's authoritative tone
is easily assumed when he speaks on topics
on which he and - his parishioners staled on
the same plane of observation, and where
their vision is quite as likely to be as good
as his. How common it is to see a young
chick, just hatched from a divinity school,
running about with the shell yet on. bile
head, who will undertake to settle any
question of administration or government
as easily as he will' pill off his glove V
The mistake is in supposing that in re
gard to these problems, you can come to
a satisfactory solution by some short cut
of • inspiration, by the intuitive • moral'
sense whereas the contrary i 4 notorious
'ty the fact. There is often a ludicroo
disproportion between the tone and Man
ner svith':, which dogmas are tittered from
the pulpit, and the substantial value of
the opinions themselves. To hear and
see the preacher, one would suppose that
he was enunciating* the oracles of God,
while What he is really uttering is some
'shallow, Sentimental or mischievous non•
sense, such as might have been picked up
at an infant's school, a milliner's shop, or
a lunatic asylum .
What we have been saying has particular
reference to. the subject of slavery, on
which this country has bee growing stark
mad for the last few year*. The clergy
men are all, or nearly all, antislavery in
sentiment and feeling. We don't object
to this : it needs no ghost from the grave
to tell us that slavery is a, great social and
economical evil, and that every patriot
and every Christian should be glad to see
it removed. But most clergymen are also
Republicans, and here the trouble begins.
Republicanism involves two very distinct
elementa: first, that -slavery is an evil,
wherein we are all agreed; and, second,
that the-Republican method of dealing
with slavery is the true one ; wherein we
are not all agreed by any means'. But the
Republican clergymen cannot or will not
see the distinction. In his view, the man
who bs not a Republican is not opposed to
slavery; is pro-slavery, in short.
A. religious congregation is not and
ought not to t be formed on the ground of
unity in political faith. The same reli
gious truths--the same warnings, expos
tulations, encouragements, consolations--
aretohe addressed to Whigs, Democrats,
RepUblicans or Native Americans. Be
fore the throne of God these distinctions
melt away like those of station, wealth or
dress. It is one of the most beautiful ele
ments in the Christian faith, that it briny
together men who on secular topics differ --
mod widely. In the congregation of the
over-sealous Republican clergymep there
will be, or may be, some persons who are
not Republicans. They are just as con
.scientious in their Anti-Republicanism as
he is in, his Republicanism . But they are
constantly exposed to the chances of bear
ing their con . ' ctions denounced, their
motives impu: ed, and having their blood
Iting insinuations. They

sent home in a frame of mind anything
but sabbatical, if not muttering half-sup-,
pressed curses between their teeth. The
-natural result follows ;-• they refuse to go
to church where they are visited by de-
nunciation and exasperated by abuse.
• Nor do we put the etieethin to political
preaching solely on the ground that such
preaching offends the earnest . political
convictions of a portier of the congrega
tion, and thus keeps them iway from
church. The objection Oxide in 'hardly
lees force as to that pat of the congrega
tion who may agree with the preacher in
his views. The preacher's duty is to poach
religion and not politico. The general
sentimentof the public would discoun

Thieffect upon the cler , gy them i elves
of this habit of preaching polities is most

Ozer. Iltintisoti,.. tinn i ng the memorable
campaign of 1840, whiCh elevated him to
the Presidential' chair, made a speech at
Fort Help, Ohio, of which the following
is an extract. If the noble sentiments to
which be gave Utterance were' justly ap
plicable to that period; how Much more
are they to these times, when corruption,
fanaticism, perjUry and lawlessness run
rampant :
"The old fashioned republin rule is
to watch the Government. See that the Gov
ernment does not acquire too much power.
Seep a check upon your rulers. Do this,
and liberty is safe. And if yciflr efforts
should result successfully, and I should
be placed in the Presidential chair, I shall
invite a recurrence to the old, republican
rule, to watch the Administration, and
condemn all its acts which are not in ac
cordance with the strictest mode of repub
licanism. Our rulerti, fellow citizens,
must be watched. Power is insinuating.
Few men are satisfied with' less pow
er than they_ can obtain. If, the ladies
whom I see around me were near enough
to hear me, and of sujilicient age to give
an experimental answer, they, would. tell
you that no lover is satisfied with the first
-
smile of hismistress. ' •
It is necessary, therefore, to watch, not
the political opponentii of an; administra
tion, but the administration itself, and see that
it keeps within the bounds of the Con
siltation and the laws of the land."
A aeon deal has been said about the
peace. resolutions which have been sub
mitted_to the North Carolina ,Legislatnre,
but the following abstract of them, which
we copy from the Ilichmond Enquirer,
shows that they do net amount to a "row
of pins" in suggesting a basie for a com
promise between the North and South ;
"They assert the right of the people .to
meet and consult for the good of the
country ; denounce mob violence and
military aggression upon the freedom of
the press ; pledge thejstate to a firm main
tenance ,of the decisions of the legal tri
bunals, ind applaud Governor Vance for
his manly defense of the State judiciary.
They further compliment the army for its
gallantry and heroism, and nrge a faith
ful discharge of dutyin vigorously prose
cuting the war for national Independence.
They further declare ;that formal negotia
tions for peace, on the basis of separation
from the United States, should be insti
tuted by the treatymaking power, and
urge our representatives IA Congress to
exert themselves to bring about such
negotiations. They further recommend
proposals from the confederate anthorities
to the federal Congress, Woking to the
holding of a convention for the ad
justment of (111:71rilties, whose action shall
be subject to the ratification 'of the peo
ple."
THE DEMOCRATIC CREED.
The Cleirfield Repicbliugn correctly says :
" Whether slavery is right ,or wrong, of
'divine' or evil origin, the Democratic
party have ever held, as they now hold,
that we_ of the North have no right to
meddle with it in the States where it ex
ists. There never was any controversy
ou . this point between the old Whig and
Democratic parties, nor between the Dem.
oiwatio and Republican parties until the
latter was baptised , into the Abolition
church by the present Jacobin adminis
tration: All we ask is for each State to
