The BulleEn thus notices the effects Of
Mr.. Lincoln's war movements on the North.
erh and Border States: f
Let an, extra session Of Congress convene.
The Border slave States, or we greatly mis-
take, will demand q cessation Of hostilities
against the South, and q recognition Of the
Independence OF the Confederate States.
With q positive refusal to these demands,
they will wheel Into the Confederate States,
and the Lincoln Government will find itself
confronted with fourteen or fifteen, instead
of seven States. If IL thinks it can anhi-
hilate or subjugate all these, let II go ahead.
1t will not be long in finding out its mistake,
unless it has fallen into that condition of
blindness and madness that precsdes de-
struction. GOD
The BUllstia has the following war articles
Our people have at last been relieved of
the suspense under which they have been so
long chatting, and now know exactly where
they stand in relation to the United States
Government. The duplicity of Lincoln and
the pretended peaceful inclinations of the
sleek, crafty, subtle Seward, can NO longer
blind us and throw us of our Husfd. The
proclamation Of Mr.. Lincoln, which we pub
fish In another column, Is sufficiently ex-
plicit; under the United States Constitution
the President has not the power to declare
war, Congress being alone invested with
that authority-but this document issued by
Old Abe is tantamount TO declaration of
war, and we can not but look at il in that
light. A coercive policy against US Is
broadly, emphaticaliy announced; the gaunt-
let has been thrown in our face; and it only
remains with US 70 accept the wager of battle
as becomes men and patriots. The vail of
hypocrisy and of low trickery has fallen from
the Black-Republican President and he
stands before Us In all the bideous deformity
of bis narrow minded partyism, his bigoted
fanaticism, his blind, uncalculatiug and fierce
hluodthirstiness. History, In Its unerring
judgments will brand him and his associates
as the fomenters Of civil war, and the arohi.
tects of their country's ruin. @
The Oescemt is grievously dlseusted with
Mr. Lincoln's proclamation;
Lineoln's proclamation Is the most con.
temptible document that has appeared In
| print within the present century. The dirty
! Abolitionist, the special plesder, the sup
| presser of facts well known TO the civilized
woIld-ignores every truth and principle
involved in the great controversy now pend
| ing, and proceeds to speak of millions Of peo
| pie as a gentleman would of an ordinary
| mob. However, we must excuse Lincoln, a
| he has never known, and never will know
how to feel as gentleman, or act like |
! gentleman. Nature has denied him that in
estimable privilege, for which denial thert
is no earthly recompense.
AS the warlike Rail-splitter gives u
"twenty day" to "disperse," and lay dow
our arms and submit to his sway, perhap
we ought to be thankful. But strange as i
may appear, We are not the least bit CRATE
ful. We did not, and do not want, an in
stant's peace. We want him to come on a
once; and if we are not very much mistaken
in the Montgomery Government the afore
said miserable Rail-splilter will have NOR
than he can possibly attend to, on land an
sea, before fourth Of his Abolition legion
will be ready to march.
The Pedys4le thus refers to Lincoln's cal
of an extra session of Congress for tn
Fourth of July: d.,
He is, therefore, dictator for a hundre,
days, absolute and unchecked, except by hi
own discretion, unless he finds In the revol
of public opinion in his own region an
among his own supporters, moral barrie
| which even his reckless audAcity will no
dare To oyerleap.
The first burst of fury at the discredi
which his imbecile Inaugural brought a
Charleston the flag of that country, bring
US to the shouts and clamors Of the Black
Republican States to come down and remov
the reproach. But, the first shock over, whel
the broad fact, illumined by the gun FIRE a
Charleston, is made for the first time cles
to Northern eyes, that this separation is on
of nation from nation, and that there cal
be no effort at subjugation which will no
be bloody, disastrous and impotent excep
for unmitigated evil, the policy and conduc
of Lincoln himself will be more In DANCE
of public condemnation than the just self
defenses of the Southern States.
Within the hundred days which Lincoll
proposes to himself for o range Of sbsolutisn
he fs quite likely to discover how wild hAv
been his dreams of Southern conquest, an
may, perhaps, when that Fourth of Jul
comes be found In the agony Of travail owe
the dismemberment Of his Northern Re
public, and be himself In the midst of
meditation of flight from the Federal CAP
ital. --.--.-
But whether this be 80 or not, thes
fulminations from the head quarters Of th
Northern Republic will but knit tho souls {
Southern men more closely together, an
blend arms and hands in one impenetrsbl
phalanx in the defense of homes and Lii
critics.
