we find, in the Cincinnati Commerciai.

"The Tribune. when it con.iaues to as

may be taken as exponen:s of its views.
the Tribune seeks the 'cestrnction Of the

the Tribune invited I've or six others TO
do so, pretty unanimously telling them
that there was no power to restrain them
from goieg, or TO 'coerce' them back. Il
yielded the whole GROUND in the outset,
and has labored diligently, viciously and
malignan,ly. ever since, to drive the Bor-
der Slave States out of the Union. The
New York Tribune has worked as ear

The Evacuation Of Fort sumter-Ths
Opinion OF Gen. Scott,

A Virginia Congressman writes to a
friend in Cincinnati that when Gen. Scott
was asked in Cabinet Council, his opinion
in relation to the reinforcing of Fort
Sumter, he replied substantially as fol-
lows: THAT it would take an army Of
from ten thousand to fifteen thousand
men, with all the disposable navy Of the
United States. It would inaugrate, he
continued, "a general civil war on large
scale. for even if the Border Slave States
did not seceds, thousands of their young
and active men would join the army Of
the Confedersted States"
Before reinforcing Fort Sumter it
would be necessary, in his opinion. to
establish a camp near Washington of
from twenty Eve thousand to thirty thous-
and men, to maintain possession of it
against violence from the adjoining slave
States. He was convinced that, under
the circumstances, it was madness to think
of coercion. The old hero's counsel pre-
vailed, and it was determined to evacuate
Fort Sumter. He further expressed hi;
belief that the first year of civil wal
would cost hundred million dollars, to
gether with an army of one hundred
thousand men How melancholy that an
American Cabinet should be obliged te
entertain questions that elicit such an,

Mr. Lincoln on the Funcuons and
Province Of the Supreme Court

To show that the monstrous doctrine
maintained by Mr.. Lincoln ir relation TO
the functions and the province of the Su-
preme Court does not take its rise from
any recently formed opinion on his part,
we republish the extract from his naugu.
raj, and append to it the avowal which
was publicly made by him in Illinois du.
ring the progress of bis well known con.
test with Judge Douglas: 9nfoi
From Mr.. Lincoln's Inaugural, March 4, 1851.
''The candid citizen must confess that
if the policy of the government upon the
vital questions affecting the whole peo.
pie is to be irrevecably fixed by The Sa
preme Court the instant they are made
in ordinary litigation between parties in
personal actions. The people will have
ceased TO be their own masters, unless
having to that extent practically resigned
their government into the hands of that
eminent tribunal"
From speech made by Mr.. Lincoln in Illinois,
in 1855. and published in the New York
Tribune on the 18th of July of the same
year.

The friends of our Union cannot but
feel grateful to Nr. Seward for having
abandoned his ultra policy. He has done
more tkan any other Republican to pre-
serve The Union, notwithstanding be was
the parent of the "irrepressibe conflict,
Should he eoItinue as he hes been doing

will be esteemed as one of the men who

The Democrats of our Legislature
have agreed to cast their votes for Judge
KennoD, Of Belmont, for U. s. Senator.
The intimation in Rspublioan papers that
this is an implied expression of want Of
confidence in Mr.. Pugh, is wholly unau.
thorized. Al the time a Senator was
elected to succeed Mr. Pugh, the Demo,

E We expect to see, next week, in
the Belmont Chronicle, an article de
uouncing the late caucus Of Republican
United States Senators, for appointing
every chairman of their committees from
the North. A few years sgothe Oroni
Gle read the Democrats such lecture for
appointing majority from the South, that
they have hardly recovered from it yet.
Ofcourse it will be more abusive of tho
Republicans for appointing all from one
section.
