dents message. All the secession tribe are
Of the same opinion, and one Of them, who
as cordially hates the Union and its President
as does his sympathizing brother here, goes
even stronger into the matter than he does.
The editor Of the n. o. Bulletin is some
what savage on the document, denouncing it
and its author as follows:
Tux UsuRPER's MESSAGE that
the spirit Of the Usurper's message to the
old Congress Of the North has been correct.
ly interpreted by the telegraph, We confess
that we feel little disposition to devote to il
any heightened remarks. The public mind
Of the South had been pretty well prepared,
by the outgiyings of the Jacobin press, for
the loathsOme mass Of GlsehoOd, yindictiye-
ncss and hypocricy with which the old per-
jurer has insulted the common intelligence
and civilization Of the age. We DO not care
TO follow the message through its tortuous
windings, and expose ITS deceitful assump-
tons, its Jesuitical lodges and pretenses, its
hOastiul yaporings, its british tone, and its
heather indifference To the agonies Of the
people Of the North, and the general stupid
ity blOodthirstiness and lunacy which il ex-
hibits. All these are apparent, and must
strike the minds OF enlightened men the
world over with amazement, disgust and
horror.
Ii is said that this creature Lincoln, this
vulgar savage who seems to be making des-
perate efforts To initiate the NerOs and Cali
gulas Of old, and who appears to be DESTROYS
Of witnessing the general contlagration OF
the whole country formerly known as the
United States, now composed OF the Conted-
crate States and the Lincoln Empire, takes
opntes daily which keep him in state of
general stupor, induced originally to make
him sleep, and kept up for some similar pur-
pose. We know not the truth Of these aver
meuts, but il seems 10 US that his message
gives them some plausibility. II this be 80,
the idea OF Paris paper that he is actually
IN state of mental hallucination or lunacy
may prove to be the literal fact But il he
is mad, there is method in his madness, too
much to relieve him from bearing the just
responsibility of his acts, tor which history
and posterity will assurcdly hold him TO u
rigid account. Throughout the South the
message will be read with disgust and indig-
nation. II it were meant to intimidate her
people by great display Of resources on
paper. to be -perhaps-ayaiable
II will most signally fail. On the contrary.
1t will rouse to still higher pitch the oppo-
sition to the despotic Government at WASH
ington, and intensity the determination
throughout the Confederate States never to
yield to its infamous usurpatiOns and Draco-
MAN crueltles.
But how about its effects in the North :?
That remains to be seen but unless we
greatly mistake, this bloody missiye Of a.
Lincoln, drunk or sober. sane or lunatic will
have in the North just the opposite effect to
that which he intends it shall have. Unless
we err. il will be the signal for the gathering
together of the elements and the bursting Of
the storm against him and his aiders which
has been gradually appearing upon the hori-
ron there. Ii will not surprise US il the Op
pOnents Of the atrOelous sentiments and san
culinary deeds OF the Government do openly
take their stand and defy il and it will not
surprise US ii, ere long, force there be met
by force il the stupendous folly and iniquity
OF the head conspintors indicated in the
message he attempted to be carried out
This result was actually limited at by an in
nuential Northern paper before the appear
anco Of the dictator's document to his Con-
grcss. Forced loans and drafting, the only
| possible ways by which the central depotism
can obtain money and men for hopeless
purpose, and simply to dclugo the land in an
ocean OF fraternal blood, to glut the VEN
geance Of perured despOt and his vassals,
must create a strain which ii is impossible
for the public mind long to endure. and an
open revolt must follow persistence in such
course.
Our neighbor OF the Democrat, who only
pronounces the message shallow and pue-
r:le," hardly comes up in style Of abuse to
that displayed by his confederate of the Bull
letin, in the above. AS he is good in imita-
ton, perhaps an attentive perusal of the
Bulletins article, and some effort in copying
its elegant and refined diction, and its super
fuity of abuse, will enable him in good time
to pronounce Lincoln ga vulgar savage"
and ian old perurcr," who "takes opiates, I"
and ''insults the common intelligence and
civilization Of the age" Is it not pity
that only two men are found in Congress
from the free States-one Of them dealer
in lottery tickets in violation OF law, and
the other man who allows the mother that
bore him to be supported by the charities Of
a christian church-who agree with our
neighbor Of the Democrat and his friend Of
the Bulletin in relation to the President and
his message
