We might add that. the leading pro-

CabaI Against the President.
The existerce of partizan cabal in op-
position to the policy OF the President was
miSlrusted before G ngrcSs convened. The
hasty and over JEALOUS movements of cell
tam persons immed lately en- tie opening of
Congress- even be ore the annual message
was received, demonstrated the fact that, a.
certain clique of radicals and extremists had
combined TO ina1gurate a course OF action
|
adoption Of the peculiar notions Of the cabal.
Certain gentlemen, with ultra Abolition ante
cedents and procliyites, coming from region
Tproliic in patents seemed 10 have supposed
that they had fallen upon notable invention
that would prove labor saving machine in
carrying forward their special ideas Of philan-
Lhropy; and each fastened to file bis papers
in view OF securing from Congress "patent
right" for putting down rebellion, which
they evidently hope to compel the Admins.
tration to adopt. The principle, in mechan-
ismr on which this"Y ankee inyention" is to
be CONSTRUCTED is, apparently, very simple, -
it is, merely to de'are that the present war Is
to-be a AGAR of emancipation. cs G1gH4 T..
That this Ebony idol'' Of the Southern
worship should be overthrown and destroyed
isf"a consumation deyoutly TO be wished"
That the war must inevitably give Shat
tering Shock to its monstrous temples, is
what we, hope and verify believe. And, yet
1--WE most earnestly and solemnly protest a.
gainst this rash and radical movement that
would now convert the army and navy of
the United States into "machine", for the
forcible abolition oil slavery. And this pro-
test we feel bound TO enter, by the highest
7
minds concusions-fo for we believe it to be
uncaled for i'll timed, impolitic, and breach
of national faith.
| We believe it to be uncalled for--because
unnecessary. The rebellion is obviously
trembling and crumbling, by reason of the
incohesion Of ITS own elements, and it's OBJ
vious lack Of resources. And it would
seem that seeing this and fearing that the
opportunity for converting the military and
naval power Of the Union 10 their special
purpose might pass away by the collapse Of
the rebellion, these gentlemen had been
prompted to this most unusual and almost in
decent haste, TO secure action Of Congress in
furtherance Of their special views.
We believe it 10 be iH timed, ,-because it
occurs at the moment when the Union sen
timent Of the South is becoming more appar-
ent, and is evidently rousing itself 10 resis-
tance with more determined vigor than at
any former time. We cannot repeat all the
indications OIL this; but they are numerous
and unequiVocal. Yet, If this special doc
trine be announced as the object and purpose
OF the war, that Union sentiment is anrihi
lated. Thele is, theii,- nought left but utter
subjugation. Thres months ago we main

Without thai, these workmen, who would

That Union feeling is but just budding into
strength IN Tennessee, in North Carolina, in
Louisiana, in Texas. This North easteIn
blast of invasion Tor emancipation, would
blight that bud, and convert our Union
friends IN the South into our most de.ermin-
ed foes. taa
We believe it to be inipolitc; because it
would produce the effects Stated above. as to
the South, and would tend to distract and
divide the North, now, happily, almost unit
in support of the Administration and the war.
What might be the result in the Eastern and
New England States we will not presume to
Judge; but we can assure those super Jealous
advocates OF emancipation by the military
power, that the West would feel the move
ment as shock upon her loyalty. That
shock certainly would not overthrow west
ern patriotism, but it would certainly weak

And we believe it would be breach of ma
tional faith, because, it would be in contra
vention OF plain and pointed declaration
made TO the nation when the people were
asked to give men and money Tor the prose-
cution Of the war. Ii cannot be forgotten
that, at the extra session of Congress, the re-
presentatves Of the people in Congress as
sembled, by solemn resolution, rendered to
the entire nation the assurance that, "In this
national emergency, we would Danish all feel
ing OF mere passion or resentment; and
would recollect only our duiy 10 The aohole
country; and that this war was not waged
upon our part in any spirit Of oppression,
nor lor any purpose OF conquest or subjuga-
tion; nor for The purpose Of oUertlyo,cing on
interfering ac'th the rights or established srst
