Chandler, United States Senator from Micf
gan, to the Governor of that State,

'without bloodletting this Union will not l

laying bare the vile treachery and bad faith

Lincoln administration the black republican
journals, the Tribune more especially, devoted
the greater portion of their time to abusing Mr..
Buchanan, whom they accused of cowardice in
the matter of the Southern oonfederacy. Mr..
Buchanan, said these sanguinary persons,
should proceed at once to reinforce Forts
Sumter and Pickens, to retake the federal
property seized by the seceders, and
otherwise to vindicate the honor of the
national flag. This cry was kept up day
after day, and week after week, the same
old song, with major strain to the effect
that when Lincoln was sworn in we should see
different order of things. Then the South
would be invaded by large numbers of Zouaves
from the prairies, and fishermen from the cod
fish States. Then the hardy sons of the North
would cause the Wanted Southern chivalry to
bite the dust. Then the world was to be made
to understand that the government still ex-
listed, that the star spangled banner still
waved over South Carolina as well as Kansas,
and that the scream of the American eagle was
as effective upon the levee at New Orleans as
among the forests of Maine. The new Caesar
set out from Springfield with a grand suite.
He travelled like a conqueror, receiving the
homage of the vanquished from Sprinfeld to
Harrisburg, when suddenly he put on
warlike integuments, in the shape Of the cap
which belongsto the Cameron clan-and which,
as we all know, has been always in the front of
the battle--and a long military cloak, which
must have belonged to the hero of Lundy's
Lane and Chippewa. Thus equipped-we
might say armed-cap-a pie, Lincoln arrived
in Washington, and was inaugursted under
the protection of Divine Providence and the
most effective artillery in the service. OF
course his next duty was to carry out the war
programme, as laid down by his organs; and by
leading the forces in person he might have
given the Scotch cap and military cloak histo-
ric fame second only to that Of Napoleon's
cooked hat and gray surtOut. But no; the new
administration was not equal to the occasion,
or else they have assumed the Garrison
platform, that the Southern States are
not wanted in the Union. At any rate, they
are going a step beyond Mr.. Buchanans limit,
and intend, according to their organs, to with
draw the federal troops from the forts in
Charleston and Pensacola harbors. 1t is quite
evident that Old Abe still wears the Cameron
cap and the long military cloak, but he has
turned them to uses other than those to which
they have been accustomed. The cue has been
taken up by all hands. Suddenly the leonine
Greeley has become as quiet as lamb, and all
the fighting Wide Awakes, Zouaves and what
not have Joined the Peace Society and have
taken to studying the New Testament. Verify,
it is edifying to see this childlike simplicity
and almost feminine distaste for blood. The
Scriptural prophecy has been verified ct last
Swords have been beaten into pruning hooks
and shields into ploughshares. The lion lies
down with the lamb, and the serpent lodges in
the dovecote. Where is the Chevalier Webb?

Halls and from our land. The second
is,thcy have instituted an unjust, unholy
and expensive war and the future vel
fare of the country demands that they
should receive castigation which will
forever quiet them, and serve as
warning example to all other parts OF
the Union.
The fact is these sentiments are al
ready seriously entertained by many
able men in all parts, and should they
become the popular sentiments, as they
possibly may, especially if this war is
carried on to any very great length,
some abolition denounccrs, will, from
the force Of circumstances, find them
selves removed many degrees from
their political situation few months
since. We believe that the events of a
few months will fully indicate the prop
er course to be pursued; either PRO
crossing or retarding this idea OF the
policy which some already advocate,
should be pursued.

The state Convention.

In our columns will be found the call
for Republican State Convention to
nominate candidates to fill the State of.
fees which will become vacant at the
expiration Of the year.
The call is made very early in the
season and in fact we believe much too
early.
The necessity Of the call being made
and the Republicans placing ticket in
the field, arises from the fact that the
Administration is Republican, and that
the leading Democratic papers and
chief fuelcmen::o of theparty are as litter
ally opposed to it as if there was no war
in existence. The Administration in
this crisis most naturally looks for aid
to those who placed it in power, and it
seems therefore necessary that, that
party should do all that can reasonably
be demanded of it in aiding the Ad-
ministraton, even by the election of
State officers to carry out fully the pro-
VISION made BY State Legislatures.

WHITTIER ARE WE TENDING, F,

A few months ago the Breckenridge
branch Of the Democracy declared that
! STAKEHOLDER had the Constitutional
right to take and hold his slaves a.
such, upon every foot Of our Territories.
Some, even, acknowledged the justice,
and longcd for the exercise of the right
to hold slaves in every State of the
Union. The Douglas branch claimed
20 be little more lenicnt, but acknowl.
edged the right to introduce slaves into
our Territories and there be protected
BY our Constitution until the Territories
should become organized, and an ex-
precision Of the people had as to wheth-
" they would sustain the "critter" or
not.
The Republican party, while it bold
~ declared that our Territories should
not be polluted by tho accursed and de-
grading institution, also said that it wa.
not their purpose, or rather in the pow
er Of the nation, to interfere with the
domestic institutions Of any State in
the Union.
Evidently there is change fast com
ing over the spirit Of the dreams Of our
people. Because the North would not
fully subscribe to the fanatical desire
Of the South, in regard to slavery, they
have reyolted against the Government;
raised large armies to carry out their
plans, and, if possible, overrun the
North and make them vassals and po-
litical slaves to do their bidding; they
have involved US in a war that will cost
many valuable lives and many millions
Of money and all this because they are
determined that the right to enslave the
negro and carry him whithersoevcr they
will, shall be supreme and above all
other rights.
The present efforts Of theirs for q
practical enforcement Of their strange
doctrine, in opposition to the existing
government, At an almost unlimited ex-
pcnse, has set grave reflection to work
in the minds of many Of our citizens,
and seriously raised the question wheth.
er it is not advisable for the peace Of
the country in the future, and since the
South have, on their part, inaugurated
