CALL TO Arms IN MASSACuU.

The following pertinent remarks from
the st. Louis Herald, justly rebukes the
hot haste Of the legislature OF Massachusetts,
aud other States who are officially proffsr-
ing menand arms to the federal government,
and doing all in their power to hasten a
civil war:
The indecent haste with which sundry
Free State LEGISLATURES have voted arms, men
and money to support tie government as
they call it, have found, Of course. copyis:
in Massachusetts,. That State, through its
Abolition governor, also promises to support
It with its Who'll. physical and financial
power. 1t is something new for Massachu-
setts to assume that attitude. She has
generally opposed the government. both in
peace and war. She passed resolution in
her Legislature declaring it "unbecoming a
moral and religious people to rejoice over
the victories gained over our ene,nies."-
Tho resolution were aimed against the
government, and at any rejoicings over VIC
tories against the British arms. Now, how

VAMPIRES

There is in South America an enormous
bat, called the Vampire. He is avery ugly ,
very insidious and very dangerous fellow -
Whea the weary traveller, overcome by the
tropical heat, sinks into repose, the Vampire
comes with noise'ess wing and plants itself
upon its victim. Gently it pe7forates the
skin Of the sleeper, and slowly sucks the
likelihood from its victim. While this
wasting process is going on, it fans the
sleeper into still profouader repose with
it, huge wings. Thus it ralls him into in
sensibility, while it slowly sucks his life
away.
! Is there not set Of political charlatans in
this Union who are now play ing the Vampire
upon the body policic? Have We not men
among US who have sucked the blood
ana very marrow out OF the American
Union, and who fan the passions of the peo-
PIE into state Of dc!irum that shall render
them insensible to the death which is surely
and certainly closing round their hopes?
Is not the American Union the doomed
victim Of the Vampires of sectionalism? Can
the people be aroused from their fatal and
unnatural s:umber in time to save this glo.
r!ous Union? These are the questions Of
the hour. Two more months will answer
them, TOR life or dsath.-Chicago Time.

LINCOLN - POLICY.
The H;ruM correspondent at Washington

The H;raM correspondent at Washington
writes:
Already is it known here that the diplo
matte representatives Of several Of the mos,
important European government are calcu.
lating upon the probability Of opening di.
rect trade with the South upon the basis Of
free trade. which would enable the lna0ufac.
turing countries Of Europe to repay them
selves b. an enlarged outlet at the South
for diminished importation at the North, in
the event ola permanent separation of the
two sections Of our still great country.
II is very difficult to arrive at any cor.
rect conclusion as to the policy which MIR
Lincoln will pursue. One day he is report
ed rs being in favor of compromise and
the next Of "preferring to sacrifice his lie ia
the abatement Of a jot Of the PRINCIPLES up.
on which he was elected" The Sprinefeld

s,dent elect. contains lengthy leader unde,

bears external evidence Of bong carefully
prepared under the eyes Of the President
elect, but has been universally received by
hepuoi'can politicians at Springfield as an
authoritative exposition Of Mr.. Lincoln's
views. Tho article begins with refutation
of some Of the Points made in President
Buchanan's last message and Attorney

then made:

discharge that duty fearlessly and faithfully.

PRESENT PROSPECTS.

1t IS indeed difficult to foresee the proba-
bic results OF our present difficulties. The
seemingly vascillating course of the President
elect, and the diversity Of sentiment in GER
tain prominent quarters Of the Republican
party, renders all our calculations doubtful.
Some CLEANS OF light occasionly flash upon
the dark back ground of tho picture, but
they are feeble and uncertain. Upon the
whole, the future looks very dark and
almost hopeless. The Abolition element
largely predominates in the Republican party
and they are to a man uncompromising and
exacting. Those who are not Abotitionists,
have mostly fallen in their alliance, as mere
time and place hunters, and have
not that fixedness Of purpose or will re.
quired to stem the fierce current Of Abolition
opinion. ...A.s .'.
1t now seems probable that the extremists
Of both sections will carry the day, and that
our hopes of the Union must fade away
and henceforth grow beautifully less.-Chi
