Simultaneous with this Presidential mants
ss.o the entire Abolition press sent sent kissing

extracts. The Portland Advertiser which
contributed largely towards swelling the vote
of Lincoln m New England, says; IN

clare for secession and war, are traitors, saca

be done by other hands than ours; they nave
placed themselves in opposition to the govern
ment, and have raised the nag Of reneiilon.-
Let the government assume dignined posi-
ton, and use ell its power, il necessary, g
sustain, itself arithot making terms acsts tTdtt
ors. This is what the country demands ana
what the country will have"
And here is the language Of another intiu-
initial New England journal. The N. d. In
dependent Democrat:
Mr.. Lincoln and his administration will not
be frightened into conceding another iota Of
territory or Northern rights to an institution
which is the only disturbing element in our
confederacy of States. IF any iuKther conces-
sions are to be made, they must De concessions
to freedom.
I. What. then, will the disunioD leaders VI the
| cotton States do !? On this matter, we have
| an opinion. We believe they will stop short
Of the "oyert acta Of treason. When they
| find that the North and Mr.. Lincoln cannot
/ be frightened and will ltnot back down from
/ theeround assumea Byfthe Republican party
then win back dewnss They witsaot provoke
| q conflict which4sa promise to them only dls-
aster, disgrace, and probablya halter.
Here, the people of the South are insolentl,
told by an organ high in Gle confidence Of TIL
Black Republican party, that 'if any conces
sions are to be made (for preserving the Union
they must be made to freedom - and that $
far from making good their published resolve
not to submit to Black Republican domination
they will quietly "tack down"--oras Lincoln
home organ, the Chicago Democrat, woul
say-"eat dirt"
We are sorry TO confess that in her deye
ton to the Union and in the excess of her d.
sire to save It, the South has heretofore exh
Ibted degree of forbearance Of NorthS4n II
iiustice and outrage which has been well ca
cuiated to create belief in the minds of b
Abolition assailants that her spirit of resen
ment had fed.

Black Republican enemies to press forward

more significant or worthy of notice than Il

There is an idea that these troubles
owing to the aggressions Of the North.
, of truth Is that there is set of venal polite
40 and presses in the North, traitors to the pc
they live among and on whom they feed,
IN persistently misrepresent the sentiment
that section. Let the result of this contro
