The war you did begin, old Abe,
And that you surely know ;
You should ha- j made a compromise,
My jolly old Abe, my Jo.
Old Abraham, my jolly old Abe,
Youi darkey plan has failed.
Ere this you know that cruel war
And taxes you've entailed
In th : s unhappy, land old Abe,

TIIK TYPICAL NEURO —An Englishman, by
the name of W. Wmwood Reade has been for
several years past exploring central Africa
llis picture of the real Atncan or typical ne
gro, is one that will nut be altogether relish
ed by the miscegenationists of this country.
He says : "The typical negro, unrestrained
by natural laws, spmida his days in sloth, his
nights in debauchery. He smoaeg haschis
till he stupefies his senses or falls into con
vulsions ;he drinks palm wine till he brings
on a lothesomo disease ; he abuses children ;
stabs the poor brute of a wome'n whose hands
keep him from starvation; and makes a trade
of his own offspring. He swallows up his
youth in premature vice ;he lingers through
a manhood of disease ; and his tardy death is
hastened by those who no longer care to find
him food. Such are the "men and brothers,'
for whom their friends claim, nut protection
but equality."

Greeley, Bryant, Weed, and, Brawnson have
said of Lincoln, and then to disgust the man
ifesto of Winter Davis and Ben Wade. He
respectfully withdraws from the further sup

THE CRITTEXDEW COMPROMISE.
KEEP IT BEToKE THE /SOPLI.
The following resolutions passed the Uni
ted States House pf Representatives, Febrt*
try 11th, 1861, by a nearly unanimous Tote:
Re<olve d, That neither the Federal Git */ *
ernment nor the people or governments of
th* non.slaveholding States have a purpose
Constitutional right to legislate upon or in tar.
fere with slavery in any of the State* of the
Union.
lies ilvtd, that those persons in the North
who do not subscribe to the foregoing propo.
sitions are too insignificant in numbers and
influence to excite the serious attention or
alarm of any portion of the people of the Re.
pub'ic, and that the increase of their num.
bers and influence does not keep pace with
the increase of the aggregate population of
the Union.
Congress, by a volo nearly unanimous
passed the following resolution, on ths extra
session of 1861. which expresses the voice
of the nation, and this is the true standard
of loyalty :
'"That the present deplorable civil war haa
been forced upon the country by the disun.
ionists of the Southern States, now in'arms
against tho Constitutional Government
and in arms around the capitol ; that in this
national emergency, Congress, banishing all
feeling of mere passion and assentment, will
recollect only its duty to the whole country ;
that this war was not waged on their part in
any spirit of oppression or of any purpose ef
conquest on subjugation, or purpose of over
throwing or interfering with the rights orjes*
tablished institutions of those States, but ta
defend and maintain the supremacy of the
Constitution,and to preserve the Union, with
the dignity, equality, and rights of the sever,
al States unimpaired, and that as socn as
these objects are accomplished the war ought
to cease.
THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE 0V THE WAR'.
General McClellau's order, August9th,
1862. says:
" The General commanding takes this oc
casion to remind the officers and soldiers of
this army, that we are engaged in supporting
the Constitution, and laws of the Cmtod
States, and in suppressing rebellion against
'heir authority ; that we are not engaged in
a war of rapine, revenge, or subjugation ; that
this is not a contest against populations';
but against aimed forces and poliiical orga
nizations; that it is a struggle carried on
within the I'nited States, and should bo"
conducted by us upon the highest principle*
known to Christian civilization."
