orous horde of republican Office beggars and

not save the republican party upon the basis OF
the spoils; for his bread and cheese will not
reach to oDe-tenth of the carpet bags that
are waiting to be supplied; but he may save
his administration by saving the country.
The crisis and its responsibilities are in his
bands. The republican party of 1860 is
doomed. 1t is destroying itself The admins
tration, in depending upon it, will be de-
stroyed. Mr. Lincoln must look to the coun-
try, and to the conservative sentiment of the
border slave States, to save his administration.
viii he do this? We cannot tell; but from
present indications the radicals Of his Cabinet
and his party, and its hordes of Office beggars,
will carry the party, the administration, the
peace and the hopes Of the country, to swift
destruction.

government on this continent.
Whether "the final result" Of this third act of
the tragedy. would be what Garrison and the
abolitionists expect-the reunion Of the two
confederacies, and "the formation of Union
embracing the whole Of the North American
continent, stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, one in spirit, in purpose, in glorious
freedom, the bitter past forgotten, and the fu
ture full of richest promise'-is speculation
upon which it is not necessary for us now to
enter in detail. We will only say that 1t is
dream of future Utopia for which no man Of
sane mind will surrender the certainty of the
present unparalleled advantages which he en-
joys under the best government in the world.
1t is enough for us to know that for the sake Of
the political elevation of four millions of blacks
at the South to position which they are inca
pable of enjoying, it is the fell purpose of the
revolutionary republicans to destroy eight mil.
lions and half Of white men in the Southern
States-a policy which, if carried out, will also
result in the ruin of the white population of
the Northern States.
The practical question now, therefore, for us
all to consider is how we can best avert the
threatened calamity which the black republi-
can desperadoes are determined to infict upon
the country. There is no hope from Lincoln,
none from Seward, or from any member of the
new administration. These men, whatever
may be their sentiments, will be forced on to
their own destruction by the pressure of the
fanatics behind them; and they will drag us all
down with them unless we arise at once in our
might and overthrow the republican party by
q counter revolution. Among the first oppor
tunities to deal them heavy blow are the APP
preaching elections. Let the people of the
whole North, therefore, including New England,
come forward promptly if they would save the
country from overwhelming disaster. If there
is any further delay all may be lost, and no flu
ture effort avail to recover the precious inheri-
lance which we are letting slip from our
hands.

BOGUS Plots AND PLoTTERs.-The trial OF
the Superintendent Of Police before the Com
missioners will lead to some rich Developments
in case the evidence is not suppressed, as it
probably will be. We are aware that the SUI
perintendent imagines that it is Detective
Williamson who is being tried; but the fact Of
the case is that the Superintendent himself is
being hauled over the Goals. According to
Williamson's sworn statement, the police were
lieve that there was plot against his life; that
as Kennedy had saved him to dispense the
spoils, Kennedy was entitled, out of pure graft
tude, to the place Of United States Marshal.
Kennedy did succeed in frightening some
body; for, as one of Uncle Sans soldiers
writes US, the regulars stationed at the
capital were under arms, cooked and
primed, from the evening of the Sd
until late in the day on the 4tb, and
the conspirators were foiled. Kennedy did all
this, although Williamson Gays there was not q
plot to be found anywhere between here and
the capital, and our military correspondent
writes that 1t would be difficult to find more
peaceable and well disposed community than
that of the District of Columbia. But possibly
Williamson and the soldier are wrong, and
Kennedy and Signor jenkins Raymond right.
Let us take II for granted that such is the case
Old Abe's life will be constantly in danger,
however, until he rewards these sharp fellows
who can see SO much further through mill
stone than anybody else. Give them the run
of the kitchen, and stop their mouths.

THE IRREPREssIBIE CONFLICT AMONG THE
BLACK REPUBLICANS HEREABoUTs+A nipple peo-
pie, those who look at things threuA n honest
spectacles. have been somewhat surprise a at the
acerbity with which black republican joA rnal-
lists carry on their intestine war, which bN gan
just after the election, and has continued VA tn
increasing bitterness ever since. Nominally 1t
is dispute Dc to the policy of the ADMINISTERS
uon-whether it should be coercive or con-
ciliatory.
But this is only sort of mask, an abattis to
cover the sharpshooters who are after the
federal Offices. The war is nothing but tho old
conflict between the Weed and Greeley fac
tons for the spoils of the Post Once and the
Custom House. Compared with this vastly inn
portant matter, the question of what will be-
come of the country is an affair of only second
airy Importance. Just now it appears that
Weed stands fair chance to be choused out
of the spoils altogether. Greeley has got his
man Chase in the Treasury Department; that
fixes the Custom House. Then we have another
republican OF the Greeley stripe Montgomery
Blair-as Postmaster. General; and so the Post
Office matter is as good as settled. The pa-
tronage of the Navy Department is not by any
means to be despised. Here we find the vete-
ran Welles, with his long white beard-worn
so that the Greeley party may laugh in their
sleeves as they say, What an extensive beard
our goose has got-and he, it is understood, be-
longs, body and breaches, to the radicals.
This is . very disagreeable state Of things for
the gentlemen whose names are on Weeds
slate, and, like the celebrated Mr.. Brown in the
popular ballad, they are determined not to
give the matter up so. They will make as
strong fight as they can. The tocsin has al
ready sounded, and the war has commenced.
The chances are that the two factions will tear
each other in pieces, and we fear that we shall
be obliged to request Captain Rynders (who
will soon be removed from his onerous and
Improbable position under the federal govern
menD to call out his Empire Club boys (they
are just now altogether unemployed), and to
produce that celebrated six-pounder, in order
that peace may be maintained between the
Kilkenny cats of the black republican party.

DECLINE OF LIGHT LrTERATURE-A NEW ERA
IN JouRNAIIsM.-Since the outbreak of the
Southern revolution all branches of trade, COM
merce and industry have been more.or less
affected, but the bookmakers and publishers
seem to have been the greatest sufferers of all.
Several strong houses have found themselves
compelled to ask accommodation from their
creditors; one very largely engaged in the
Southern trade has stopped, and advertises to
sell off its stock for the price of the white paper
on which the books are printed; and this is
only the beginning. Nowadays people have
no leisure or inclination for romances. The
great anti-slavery crusade, which has been car
ried on during the last thirty years, has now
eliminated, and we are commencing new era
in the worlds history. With the dawning Of
each day come new and startling events, and
truth is indeed stranger than fiction. 1t may
be that before many weeks have elapsed the
sword will be the arbiter in the differences
which now distract the several sections of the
old Union. At present however, the pen
is the sole weapon of statesmen, and dis
cussion through the journals, political pam
phlets and state papers, the only warfare
which is carried on. Therefore the circle Of
newspaper readers is enlarged, and that Of
book buyers correspondingly reduced. Dur
ing the last three months the circulation of the
New YORK HERALD has increased nearly ono
third, and now we frequently print over one
hundred thousand copies per diem. I'VE have
no doubt that the circulation of the other me-
tropolitan journals has received q like impetus
from the stirring events of the day. This is
one of the effects of the great abolition war,
and it has only just begun to be experienced.
1t is, however, beneficial symptom. Had it
not been for free discussion North and South
our people would have come to blows long
ago.

General Scott, and his predecessor In ONCE, in
relation to important military movements. The
Secretary Of The Navy hes assisted at some Of
their conferences, and the telegraph states that
arrangements have already been made for the
reinforcs ment Of Forts Sumter and Pickens
and that they viii be carried out elaborately
General Scott Ii convinced men can easily be
thrown into both, with but little loss OF life.
Az a consequence OF these destructive inten-
tons. Adjaiani General Cooper. through whose
departing Mt all army orders have TO be issued,
has resigned. and the withdrawal of other dis-
,inguished officers Is locked for, who prefer re-
firing to private life, TO being compelled to
stain their hands with the blood Of their South
ern brethren.
The result Of this suicidal policy-of even
an effort 10 reinforce Forts Sumter and Pick.
ens-will be an instant outbreak of civil war
The beginning Of the end will have come,
and the school Of fanaticism which has reduced
the country to its present degraded condition
will have accomplished Its baneful pur-
pose. The people will Of course hold
the administration TO q terrible account
for its conduct, but II will. probably,
be when it is too late to stay the progress Of
desolation. From the proudcst place among
the Powers Of the earth; envied and admired
by the enlightened of every land; our institu-
tons model for patriots, and our form Of go
vernment q salutary and benefcent example to
those who are throwing of despotic yoke; we
shall have become, ere long, a byword TO the
universe, and the cloud Of shame that obscures
our horizon will have settled into worse than
Zimmerman darkness. The vague and unsatis-
factory assurances; the enigmatical phrases and
Delphic utterances; the double-tongued asseve-
rations, that have, heretofore, proceeded from
Mr.. Lincoln and members OF his Cabinet, have
been, apparently, intended to gull and delude
the public until their schemes were fully ma
tured. We are now beginning to perceive,
however, what Mr.. Chase meant by adjust
ment;" what was hidden behind Mr.. Stewards
professions of "magnanimity;" and how the
sentences Of the inaugural are to be inter-
preted. 1t must not be forgotten, however,
that if government is unfaithful to its trust; If
it takes single step that shall lead to blood
shed, the day is not far off when the retribution
will be terrible by which it will be overtaken.
