When the rumor first arrived here from
WASHINGTON that President Lincoln had with
drawn the government troops from the above
Forts. his friends would not believe word Of
it but later news confirms the rumor that II
has been resolved on, whether the order is yet
issued or not
We wish to say word here to the Republi-
can marty. They learn two lessons at once
The FIRST is. that the abuse of an Administration
for whatever 1t does when hey are ont qfPotoe,,
IS A very different thog ftom sustaining an ad-
pnistrstion for whatever it does when they
are in lol0er. They have had free field for
wears mast in the line Of defamation and abuse,
and il will require little time to turn their
political crank, so as 10 be as reckless in swal-
inwinp their own poisonous medicine as they
were in emitting it,
The next is, they will learn that there are
two sides to every question, The Chicago Plat
Go,m notwithstanding, and it will be proof posi-
tive of learned mems ability to argue ''eitheI
horn ofthe dilemmaw We have lucid evidence
.ol this in the Every able'' article Of Adjutant
Gen. Carrington in Yesterday mornings Joaraa,
defending the government in the withdrawal o.
the troops from the above Forts Compare this
article with certain speech on another coca
sion from the same gentleman, and we have a
very salutary lesson of the "mutability of all
sublunary things"
1t is not necessary for us to repeat what we
have said in regard to this Fort question.
We Shall not Show any levity in this matter,
tholsh we must confess a little qualification
that one more object Of sensation, and the moth
er of pages oil patriotic furor, is out OF the way
1t will 90 to secure peace and put down a9lth
ton North and South. The neXtqueStion that
is to follow may be little more difficult OF So
luton but less dangerous OF sudden explosion
We mean the revenue question. but Tor THIS
we should now soon have clear field to wrap
the thread of public sentiment into the Union
wonf
In whatever light this act may be received,
and it will be variously interpreted, 1t cannot
help but have pacifying effect upon the coun-
try, and strengthen the President in quarters
wheresstrength can, during the four years to
come be Of use to him.
The hungry pack of Office seekers that swarms
around the White House, he will find of all
men, oftbo least value to him in his public or
private relations. They are a broken reed fol
any President to lean upon. The hall OF them
are the mere instruments Of members of Con-
cress who promised them this kind OF pay tc
get their services during election time, and we
record with equal satisfaction the TACT shat the
President peremptorily refused to I'll the con
tracts, and sent away growIng,a a host from MS
own State-Congressmen and all, as we lind
recorded in the Cincinnati Commercial and 9th
er prints. We, therefore, say to Mr. Lincoln
-pyoceed. Something good may yet come out
Of this Republic Nazareth. Better Tor Mr. LIN
coin to receive the curses of the LazGroa] now
than the curses of the country afterwards, To-
being ruined by them. 1t is not an unnsua
thing for Congressman, after getting all they
want out Of an Administration, to turn aSains
it and become its bitterest enemies, 70 aVoli
this, Mr. Lincoln had better make his own ap
pointrnents, and bad az they may be, take M
