From the NY. Evening Day Book. Lincoln's Rebellion Against the Consti-
 tuition.

quirer, talks. He cannot help talking.- He was always impulsive and leaky of the secret plans and aims of his party. MT. Lincoln has given him " first class mis- sion," and, as he Webb declares, allow ed him an inside view of the purposes ol the administration, which has been denied to most editors, because he is about to leave the country Under these circum- stances 1t was natural enough that Lincoln should impart somewhat the aims of his administration, and 1t vas just as natural that Gen. Webb should blab everything that was told him. But Gen. Webb lets out nothing that was not already plainly revealed to discerning minds by the acts ot the administration itself. For Instance, the General says:
 "The war may soon pass away-we may have a quick and vital battle field, and the North prove | its prowess, as certainly it will; but the truth of national "aity and polrer that these events have given, endure-conbined-co -condensed-coacsatrat- d iu ogaay and nary."
 Startling, and revolutionary, and d. structive ofall liberty, as is this programme of government ''condenSed, concentrated in army and navy" 1t has, nevertheless. been apparent from the first month of Lin coln's administration, that such criminal scheme was uppermost in his mind. h. deed, weeks ago, the New York Times, which is supposed to speak for Seward declared that immediate steps must be taken to establish upon firm basis large standing army. Gen. Webb let the black republican cat out of the bag as to the ob- jects of this large standing army" He asks:
 "Why all these State lines9 Why all this need less cumbersome. intricate entangement of differ ent powers to make law and decree judgment?- w can afford now 10 eface the old Colonial Gc,r. raphy. It Is the admitted powers of States within the nation that has been the source of all our trou ! ble. Nor will the removal or State power and the creation of q nationality, be task so formidable
 1t has been done even in the instance of Englaod and Scotland, educated as foes by centuries of war fare"
 So that is the aim-to abolish "these States line,' to "eiface the old colonial geography, to remove the State power" and to destroy the existence of the States, as England did the national being of Ire land and Scotland. That, says the talking general, Is the programme of the republi- can party. Bnt we have not the editor of the Couirer and Enquirer altogether to thank for this disclosure; for the acts of.the cabinet had already disclosed it. What has Lincoln done in Maryland and Missouri but to "eface Me State Hnes?" And Ken. tuc...y is threatened with the same fate if she does not voluntarily yield her sover- eighty, and permit her soil to be desecrated, and her cities blockaded by the presence of federal soldiers. The talking General again says:
 "This artificial difficulty of State rights is not an insurmountab!e one. IL must yield to the great est good of one power.''
 And that is precisely the real issue which IS before the people of America at the pre- sent time. Shall the one po'cer of the fed eral government be allowed to break down and annihilate the sovereignty and the feedom of the States? That is the great issue which the democracy has really to fight out with the usurpers and tvrants now in power. This is far more important issue than that of secession or unsecession. For, whatever may be charged against se- cesSion, It wages no war upon the nature or the form of the government of the Unit ed States. Secession is simply a with drawal of certain States from the jurisdic- hon of the government; but it makes no as sault upon the form or integrity of tile go- vernment itself. Not so with the !" repnb- lican" usurpers. For they strike down the government itself and supercede it with another and a totally different govern ment This government was voluntarily formed gby sovereign States; and they so formed 1t as neither to obliterate nor sub merge their sovereignty in the federal go- velnment. So cautious were our fathers in guarding against the destruction of State sovereignty, that the militia was made en- tirely State institution, and no member of the militia can be forced 10 go beyond the limits of his own State to fight. The citizens's allegiance is first and last due to his State. We repeat again, that Lincoln and his cabinet have raised a question of infinitely greater magnitude than this one Of secession. Secession may do it's worst, and 1t still leaves us the principles of the government formed by our fathers perfect But this republican cabinet does not leave vestige of that government It strikes down Congress, strikes down the supreme court, strikes down the very existence of States, strikes down freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and leaves even opin- ion itself trembling at the point of the sword. It IS to preserve our government from the assassin grasp of those who are now trying to strangle 1t at its capital, that the democracy is now called to rise in the omnipotence of its moral power, and hurl its thunder words into the very teeth of the usurpers. All that needs to be done is to speak the truth boldly and speak it every where. Circulate documents and papers among the people to fully impress them with the guilty designs of the enemy. Or ganize! Organize! Sound the alarm on the housetops and in the workshops! Pub lish the truth, that the programme is to make sure the eternal separation of this Union through war and bloodshed, and to establish worshipping military des- potism upon it's ruins. Such truth once fairly worked into the peoples minds is more powerful than 1incoln's cannons.- The following is copy of the oath which Lincoln causes to be administered to all of fcers of the navy-an oath to obey, not the constitution, but Lincoln himself:
 I, ,--, do solemnly swear, or affirm, (as the case may be, that will bear true allegiance to the United States of America, and l will serve them honestly and faithful ly, without any mental reservation, against all their enemies or opposers whatever, Mm wiH serve and obey Me oders of Me President of the United .States, and the or ders of the officers appointed over me, &C., cording to the rules and articles for the go- vernment of the navy and army of the United States.
 Sworn to and subscribed before me, 1t -, this - day of -, 1S-.
 Justice of the Peace.
 Let all the people read this, and then silently, before God and take an oath, not that they will obey Abraham Lincoln, but
