Mr. lincoln point out the man who did it!
"Confedcrate scoundrels" is q term alike strong
and emphatic to apply to tile people Of The South.
1t is good--decidedly good-considering the source
it emanates from. That's exactly what the British
said about WASHINGTON and the patriots Of the rev.
olutionary era They rather felt complimented
than otherwise, when the tories maligned them
without stint, truth justice, for they knew they
were aborng in behalf of righteous cause. Just
80 with the Southern patriots of the present day.
They expect to be reviled and abused by the Abo-
liton Tories but as they feel assured Of the recti
tude OF their intentions, they will press onward in
the accomplishment of the high and holy purposes
in which they are engaged, with perfect conf
dence that the God Of Battles will vindicate the
right.
The Tribune intinates that wicked light' is
iatterly seen in Lincoln's eyes. We doubt whether
any other kind of light" was ever seen there,
and apprehend that it is faithful reflex of a
"wickedH heart, full Of dupliciy and all manner
Of iniquy At all events, his breaches of good
faith and double dealing, within the last few
weeks, have everlastingly diRgraced him in the
eyes OF honorable mea, and will make lis Admin
strati0n ollous in the eyes OF the statesmen OF
Europe. -
But, perhaps, the '' wicked light in the eyes of
Old Abe was the glare OF fear--of mortal teTror-
and that he was revolving in bis own mind some
BSSn Of getting safely outof Washington. Maybe
he has lostfaitl in Gen. Scott, and tho efficacy Of
the Scotch cap and long military cloak" II SO
he is certainly in a bad way. He may have been
very good ra-spiitter in his early days. but he il
surely most wretched President, and the man
who would sneak into Washington, may sneak out
Of it in an equally disreputab!e manner, his eyes
cleaning with the wicked light of baffed bad
designs and abjcct poltroonery. Who knows?
We trust Lincoln will commence marching very
soon, If he means to march this way at all, and
that lie will be sure to bring the valiant editors of
the Tribune along with him. Lot him bring along
some scores Of thousands Of unadulterated Abo-
iitionists. They are the very sort of people we
would ike to have fair chance at, just about this
time.
