have afforded him much less opportunity for car

jOyed. III Washington be could have discovered

that one Of his escort invited him to look about
him, adding that {" the more be saw Of us, the
less he would Ike u.s." Perhaps so; but this is
hardly the manner 10 which serious contest Is
to be carried ON. Why, we ask again, have We
had all these Outcries against newspaper reyela-
tions, ard these successive measures of caution
(the last of which is the interruption OF all army
news by telegraph), when officers from the
enemy are brought unreseryedly among us, and
requested to feast their greedy eyes with what

essential that its privileges should never be

that the protection Of the flag of truce shall be
invoked only in case of extreme need or for
some purpose worthy and honorable to both

The New York Tribune hoists the following
flag at the head of its columns:
mo Compromise! No Concession to Trai-
tors The Constitution as it is "
Notwithstanding this, GREELEY, on the fifth OF
August last, wishing to supplant Mr. SEWARD,
wrote to the Tribune:
A SIGy.-The Developments of public senti
ments, and the fruit of agitation in the Terrific
ries themselves, appeared concurently almost
certain to secure the non extension of slavery
thereto, even in the absence of Congressional pro
i.ibition. Our opinion of the Wilmot proviso mas
not changed one hair but the necessity for it il
now far less than it has been, while the practica
biity of enacting it appears to have receded into
the vague future. Noic, therefore, are tcllinS
10 compromise and take half right, rather than
continue controversy from which we can antic
pate no good, but apprehend great evil.
Comment on the above is unnecessary"

Not single pledge or proposition, with regard
the future is contain in the inaugural message,
from beginning to end. Mr.. Corwin's amend
ment to the constitution is referred to by Nj.
Lincoln, as though he had not read it, and, at the
time he spoke, he was unaware it had passed the
Senate. He holds "its provision to be already
implied in constitutional law" although he has
"no objection to its being made express and ire
yocabe. he was unconscious that he had him
self quoted the substance of the amendment of
Mr.. Corwin, as embodied in the resolution of the
Chicago platform, declaratory of the rights of
the States under the constitution 1t is nearly
identical with it in language. OF national con-
vention, Mr.. Lincoln only says that che should
favor rather than oppose il" while che will make
no recommendation of any amendment to the
Constitution
In word, the inaugural is not crude perform
ance-it abounds in traits of craft and cunning
1t bears marks of indecision, and yet of strong
coercion proclivities with serious doubts whether
the Government will be able to crafty them. 1t
is so clearly intended to admit of a double, or
even of any possible Interpretation, that many
will content themselves with waiting for the pro-
gress of events, in the meanwhile, seeking in il
for no meaning at all. 1t is neither condid nor
stitesmanlike; nor does it possess any essential OF
dignity or patriotism. 1t would have caused
Washington to mourn, and would have inspired
Jefferson, Madison, or Jackson with contempt

The Tribune says can overwhelming ma
jOrity of the people have just instructed the Fed
eral administration to insist on the very princi-
piles and measures" which the proposed conces
siOns require it to resign; and it asks, is the Re-
publican party to succumb to the will of the
minority? By no means, Massa Greeley. The
figures in your own almanac refute you, showing
that the Republican party who elected Lincoln
are in a minority instead of an overwhelming
majority of the people. These figures are
For the other candidates. ., ,SO4, $50
If to this vote we add $4,000 for South Caro-
lima, whose vote is not counted, because she
elects the President by her legislature, the ma
jority against Lincoln is one million of votes
But these figures do not tell the whole truth, foI
the official returns which we published show that
the majority is over a million. Lincoln was
elected by plurality and not majority of the
popular vote. With what audacity, therefore
does the Tribune dare to say that the President
of the Republican party is elected by an over
whelming majority of hepeOple and that, there
fore, the minority are bound to succumbi Th'
argument cuts the other way, for if there be an!
