MIR. Lincoln Will before the lapse OF
much more time, have 10 choose between
political parties. and depend upor the par
ty which he shall choose for the support of
his administration. And the parties be-
tween which he will have to choose are the
democratic and abolition parties And,
in like manner, everybody will have to
choose between these parties. There is
not, and will not be. any other considera-
bic party, for there is no other issue upon
which another party can be formed. The
single issue before the country is whether
the war shall be conducted for the resto-
ration OF the Union and the supremacy Of
the constitution, or for the overthrow Of
both. This is the issue between the dem
ocratic and abolition parties.
Everybody comprehends this issue.
Everybody comprehends that abolitionism
prosecutes ;he war for the sole object of
'wiping out slavery Everybody com
prehends that it aided to precipitate the
war for that sole object. Everybody COM
prehends that the moment this shall be-
come the object OF the war all hope for the
restoration Of the Union will be gone for
ever.-for at that moment democrats will
cease 10 be soldiers in the war, and the
border slave States will array themselves
on the side Of ihs Southern Con:eder
acy
All this everybody, OF sense. compre-
hends, and the sooner everybody shall he
brought to take his position upon the is
sue involved the better, since we shall
then know whether we are to have the
Union or not,-for we deem that il is al
ready determined that the loval States. il
they remain loyal. can put down the re.
belion.
The democratic party must bring every
body to take his position upon this issue.
IL must revive its organization everywhere
and prepare to fight the battle of the I'm
ION at the ballot box ss it is fighting them
on the field Its mission is as plain in
one case as IN the other. The battle at the
ballot box must be fought and won before
that on the field can wholly succeed
What we mean 10 say is that the loya!
sen, iment Of the South cannot be develop
ed until it shall be positively assured that
this is not an abolition war.
If Mr.. Lincoln has not already chosen,
lac will choose tie democratic party. The
indications of this are abundant. He NAV
rely upon its support. and it is reliance
that has never failed any President. Mr..
Fillmore fell back upon it and found it a
sure reliance. 1t has, in truth. been Mr.
Lincon's reliance from the day the war
commenced Where would he and the
country have been to day had his reliance
been abolilionism?
Let us have. then. speedy and thor
ouyh revival Of the democratic Organiza
ton. The people are ready for it and
demand it, The highest interests of civ
ilizaIion-the existence of the Union =

That our readers may see how .he re-
cruiting service was conducted some sixty
years ago, and the spirit which animated
soldiers at that time. We give the following
article from the New Jersey Gazette of

GENERAL WAsHrNGToN COMMANDS
Hark The drum beats TO arms The
undersigned. recruiting sergeant to the
honorable Ensign Booth, of the brave and
glorious Sd United States regiment of the

inform the youth of New Jersey in general,
and the lads in the counties of Mi6dlesex
and Somerset it, partic ular. that the rem
devious is still continued at New Bruins
wick. for the reception Of such young fel
lows Of spirit as may wish to acquire the
erect attitude. manly department, genteel
address. and warlike whiskered phiz of a
regular Continental soldier.
Nothing need be advanced to induce the
young men who, disdaining an inactive
life. and nobly preferring a musket to an
iDglorious rustic implement, have served
campaign with credit to themselves and
commanders, TO re.enter the service when
they learn that they will be commanded
by the brave General Washington. To
those heroes who never seen the world. or
heard the inspiring, heart-cheering souud
Of the drum and trumpet. he begs leave to
address n few words.
Your country. my boys. is threatened
with invasion! Your homes and farms
with fire, plunder and pillage. ard your
wives and sweethearts with ravishment
and assassination by horrid, oullandish,
sans colotte Frenchmen The time is
now arrived when every man must convert
his plowshares into swords, and his pru-
ming hooks into spears. or be torn and
devoured alive by blood thirsty, ferocious
cannibals.
But. you will say why mention these
things to hearts Of oak, to whom the
knowledge of .he critical situation of the
country. with the honor of being permitted
TO fight her battles, and the glory of re-
ceiving scars in her service. would be
sufficient inducement to rally around her
standard ? TO arms, then. my dear brave
boys! Leave your loansome cottages. and

where you will find me and nv comrades
