Winter to our patriotic soldiers, the families

From various reliable sources information is
received that Col. Stoughton is one of the most
able, efficient and popular commanders in the
Vermont Brigade. His regiment is in excellent
discipline, his camp clean and orderly, and his
men perform their duties chceriully and under
standingly. 1t gives US pleasure to be able to
testify in this manner to the way in which Col
onel Stoughton discharges faithfully his respon-

TnANKsGIvING.-This time honored festival
will be observed to-day in eleven loyal States
of this now distracted Union. In none of
them. have the people more occasion for
thankfulness and praise than in our own cher
ished Commonwealth. The beautifully cx-
pressivc language of the Governors Procama-
ton duly sets forth the numerous occasions for
our gratitude to the Giver of all good for the
benefits we have received, and the mercies that
have strewn our pathway as with garlands of
flowers. While our people are making ample
preparations for the more outward and physical
observance of this interesting occasion, we are
happy to know that very many of the soldiers
OF Vermont, now dwelling in tents in State
far distant from their native hills, and within
sound of the enemy's guns, will receive ample
testimonials that they are remembered in the
circles where their seat at the festive board will
be vacant. May their Thanksgiving be Joyous

One prominent Republican paper seems to have
got more than it bsrgaine1 for when it went into
the Republican organization The New York
EoeniRg Post scolds terribly about "MoRRILL g
abominable tariff BILL" which has passed the
House and which the Republicans of the Senate
are putting through that body under whip and
spur. 1t is an "abominable tariff" most Ger
tlinly but it is Republican fruit. Instead of any
comment of orr own upon it, we subjoin few of
the Posts comments:
Blankets valued at not over seventy five cents
elch, and of the dimensions not less that seventy
two by fiity-twO inches. were charged with duty
Of ten cents each i'm the Morrill, tariff bill as it was
reported to the Senate. This bill has been mod-
fed. as appears by the amended bill now before
that body on its passage, as TO reid rs follows:
Blankets (as above describe1) duty of six cents
per pound, and in addition thereto ten per cent.
Gd ralOrem. Ii this is a reduction in the burthen
imposed upon an article so essential to the com
fort and health OF every working nun in the com
munity. we confess We are unable to discover it..
1t was bad enough as it stood: as it now reads, it
amounts to an efectual prohibition of the impor-
tition of these articles, for the duty to be levied
is equal to the cost
On the other hand, the finer kinds of blankets
are to be admitted at reduction from sixteen
cents per pound, as charged in the Morrill, tariff

The meaning of the word coercion" seems
. puzzle Mr.. LINCOLN amazingly, but it is mys-
tery which he does not appear anxious to unravel.
Re is evidently willing it should remain in doubt.
lis speeulations upon the subject will not be
disturbed unless he should attempt to "coerce''
tae dogmas of the Chicago platform upon the
countrT. and then, we think, like St. Paul, he
VIII find It hard to kick against the pricks The
enforcement of the laws is one thing, and the
enforcement" or coercion of Republican
principles or theories is another affair entirely
We hope Mr.. LINCOLN and the Republican party
wiIl not fail to remember and recognize the dis
tinction. While it may be treason to resist the
Constitution and the laws, IT is not yet, we hope
penal ofense to spit upon the Chicago plat
form
Mr.. LINCOLN does not feel himself called upon
70 define his position. No other citizen Is under
any greater obligation. yet we cannot refrain from
h.quir;ng whether any loyal citizen is any more
aound to render obeisance to the Chicago plat
iorm than were the faithful Israelites to worship
ne golden calff' Mr. LINCOLN seems to be
under the impression that RepubIicanism is a law
hisher than the Constitution-the Democracy
believe that the Constitution is yet the highest
lsw of the land. That is the difference Just now
between Republicans and Democrats and the con-
sarvatve citizens Of the United States are not yet
prepared to go with Mr.. LINCOLN in coercing
principles and policy to which a large majority
sand opposed. That kind of coercion will find
n army of resistants all over the country.
Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-02-20

The New York Tribune of the 10Th has a full
report of Mr.. LNcoLN's Indianapolis speech,
which is introduced with flaming head lines, an
nouncing "The Revenues to be Collected''-''The
Forts to be Retaken," &c.
But the most important fact announced by the
Tribune is, that the speech "was carefully pre-
pared in Springfield. and brought here Indiana
Pol.sl in manuscript"
If such be the fact, it gives the speech of Mr..
LINCOLN here more significance than if it had
been an ertempore effort. We are inclined to the
opinion that the speech was prepared in advance
as the spoken speech and the revised speech as it
appeared in the Journal we're not alike OLD
ABE then, up to this point, was for war. He may
get wiser when he reaches the end of his journey.
Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-02-20

I'm his speech before the General Assembly of
Ohio, on the 18th inst, the President elect said :
a" There has fallen upon me task. such rs did
not rest upon even the Father of his Country. y
\ little further in the same speech, he
said:
have not maintained silence from any want of real
anxiety II is good thing there IS than anxiety
for there Is nothing going wrong Il is a consong cir
cumsance that when look ont there is nothing that
really hurts any body We different views upon
political questions, but nobody is suffering anything.
This, he went on to reTeat, was " very con-
soling circumstance" though Just before he had
felt that greater task had fallen upon him tnan
even upon the Father of his Country How can
that be, if :" there is nothing wrong - it there
is really nothing that hurts anybody and if
nobody is suiierngl" Can any body tell?
The fact is, Mr.. Lincoln does not comprehend
tie difficulties that are before him, of the evils
which surround the country and fearfully threaten
our institutions, or he could not deliberately say
wefOre the Ohio Legislature that "there is nothing
going wrong" and that nobody is suffering any
thing" The fact that such declaration should
come from him at time when the public mind is
burdened with grief, because of our national
troubles, and when all are looking on at passing
events with fearful anxiety and alarm. is well
calculated to produce the most melancholy fore
bod ms. That the President elect is incapabIe
ofre Ilizing the extent of the difficulties which
now exist, or that he is reckless and Indifferent
as to the termination of them and the fate of the
country cannot be doubted.-Ohio St0sesm0n
Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-02-20

As Mr.. LINCOLN approaches Washington he is
evidently more and more impressed with his igno-
rance of governmental affairs, especially those
questions which just now occupy the attention of
the country. He opened the ball here by asking
questions which, he said he desired the people to
think about. II he had had settled convictions
and purposes. is it probable that he would have
thus expressed himself And he has made but
little improvement in that regard in his subse-
quent addresses. At Pittsburgh he spoke more at
length than he had previously, yet without devel-
oping any well-cOnsidered views upon the topics
ne alluded to. He said the political condition of
the country ellis the mind of every patriot with
5olict1de." and that he intended to give the SUBJ
eet all the consideration which he possibly could
before he should speak definitely in regard to it.
and then he proceeded to say that he should not
say anything which should disappoint the expect
atoms based upon what he had heretofore said,
and that thereis real crisis except an artificial
one. Now what opinions are we to gather from
these expressions? What has Mr. LINCOLN here
tofore said? We viii make one quotation from
what ne has said. and by it test his declaration at
Pittsburgh:
The relation of master and slave is, pro tan
10. total violation of this principle (te equality
referred to in the Declaration of Independence ]
The master not only governs the Stare without
his consent, but he governs him by a set of rules
altogether different from those which he pre-
scribes for himself Allow ALL the governed an
EQUAL VOICE IN THE GOVERNMENT;
and that, and that only is seifgr@ernmenf
els Life Of Lincoln. page 81.
Does Mr. LINCOLN mean that se will not disap-
point the expectations which have been based
