LincoIn's s Troubles.

clan who could endow inanimate things with tain words and restore them to their former shape by repeating certain other words. One day his apprentice heard him order the broom to bring bucket of water and wrote down the worlds Soon after, in his masters absence, he repeated them, and the obedent broom commenced bringing water. Bucketful after bucketful was brought and poured out till the house was flood ed, but the fend continued to labor in spite of commands and entreaties, for the apprentice knew not the. form of words necessary to restore him to his former state In his desperation he seized hatchet and cut the broom in two, when, to his horror, each piece became a water bear ing fend and the water came doubly as fast.
 It does not require much ability to set an ele- ment at work, for child may kindle fire that thousand men cannot put out. The great strength lies in controlling the dangerous pow CTS sometimes called into play. To reach his present position, Lincoln has called the abolition fanatici8m into activity To sustain him there, he has fed 1t with blood and treasure. He knew the form of words to set 1t owork, but not those to make it quiet. In his agony he has cut it in twain and now each piece Is at work and will drown him in the flood. Neither Lincoln, or Sew ard or Mcclellan is king now Abolitonism is the lord paramount. In the outset, the object of the war was stated to be a restoration of the Union. Now, 1t is the abolition of African sia- very. At the commencement of the present difficulties the federal rulers bitterly denied that they intended to meddle with the institutions of the different States, or attempt to change the relative positions of the white and black races. The people of the border slave States were as- Sured in messages, speeches and letters, and by declarations in the most solemn form, that their negro property should be respected and their State laws on the subject should remain un> North, and after he had fired the northern mind by exciting 1t against the South and given Lin coin the men and money he demanded, 1t con tinued to labor Fremont was its agent and Lincoln became alarmed. The batchet fell, but the servant became two and the deluge ihcreas- ed. Cameron and Sherman became the repre- sentatves of this policy, and going still further, propose to arm the slaves and lead them to mur- der their former protectors. Halleck in Mis- souri and Lane in Kansas enunciate the same terrible doctrines. The federal Congress has before it plans for the abolishment of black sla- very in the District of Columbia and the South ern States. Now, they propose to indemnify the tory owners of slaves for those taken from them, but before long that idea will be secuted by the radicals.
 If this policy is adopted, what little conserva. tism is left at the North will be turned against the Ape who is, at once, the tyrant and the tool.- Missouri. Kentucky, Western Virginia Mary land and perhaps, Delaware, are lost to the North forever. The traitors in those States who sold their country for northern gold, and who tried to purchase peace and protection to their property with the honor Of their country, stand aghast attbe prospect before them. Even Prem tice inc thrice accursed, aud Harney, the double renegade, cry out against it. The tories in Mis- souri weep unavailing tears and gnash their teeth In useless anger. Io persist in carrying out the doctrines laid down in h.s late message will lose Lincoln all th9 contested ground for which he is fighting. To so back and endeayor to retrace his steps would De 10 call down on his head the vengeance of the abolition Gcnds he has called into life. His office nay, his life, would not be held week after Dis refusal to yield to the de- mands of the abolitonsts. He would be de. throned and Fremont CT some other monster would be installed. To go on is to lose all but the extreme north, and to forfeit the respect of nations Before him is sea of fire and blood in which lie must swim or drown. He began the war by Q course of cold,blooded treachery and by endeavoring to reinforce Fort Sumter at time when he declared he was preparing to have it evacuated. He plunged the country into civil war and ca Jed the abolition fiend to his aid. The tiend has become his master, and now he dares not make peace, even if it was within his power. The North is already ruined, and in its madness would desoate the South, and let the once proud republic perish in fire and blood and all sink together But neither Lin> con, or Fremont, CT any other embodiment of abolitionism, is @ Sampson, and if they were, though they twine their arms ever so strongly around the pillars of southern liberty, they are too firmly built and the grand ediGee too strong for them to pull it down.
