&C. It is very evident that President
Lincoln intends to administer the Govern
ment upon the broad basis of the Constitu-
ton as he understands it, He is net 60
ing to lean to the right, nor to tie left
either to favor the Shareholders, which all
democratic Presidents have always done,
nor to favor the opponents of Slavery, as
would be the case If any measure in pres
ecuting the war was adopted more in ref
erence to It's effect upon the peculiar insti
tuition than to its results in suppressing re-
bellon. Il IS perfectly natural for men
who abhor slavery to intensely desire that,
at the present crisis, blow may be struck
by Government against this horrible insti-
tuition, which is not only pandemonium in
itself, but Which also involves SO damning a
national disgrace But Government has
nothing to do with putting down slavery,
that being State aft air, and many loyal
citizens having an interest in it; for the
Government to war upon slavery, merely
as an evil, would be to 90 out of its legit-
innate sphere, and interfere with what be-
longs to States. But Government may,
and ought to. deal constitutionally with it,
keeping it out Of the Territories, &c, as
has always been done But when the time
comes, as we believe it will. when it will
be fully seen that the most effective, and
perhaps the only, way to cripple this re-
bellion is to turn all the slaves free, then,
simply as war policy-not as humani
tary measure, Government will tear down
this very stronghold Of all iniquity, for the
establishment and extension of which the
rebellion was waged,
On this ground we applaud the Presi
dents letter to Gen. Fremont, and think
the policy employed good one. Repub
licans never expected Mr.. Lincoln to Dc
any thing more relating to slavery than te
keep it within constitutional bounds, while
heretofore it had been lawless. Republi
cans would have the Government KEEP
good faith with every loyal stakeholder
no sooner interfering with slave property
to suppress rebellion, than with any othe1
class of property, and only with the same
intent! 1t is not because We love slavery
that we would have Government do thus
for we hate slavery worse thar any othe,
thing; but because this is the only legiti
mate course. not involving revolution
Rebel sympathizers in our midst are cvi
IDENTIFY attached to slavery; they love i
as they do blood relation, and feel hur
and hit by every thing that touches it
they cannot see o negro walking in oul
street, without growing at him, ant
against Republicans, like surly dogs l
they could, they would old slaves, though
they themselves are most proper sub
jects Of oppression, but little elevated NOR
ally above brutes.

ia At the Republican District Con-
vention recently held at Lake Mills, to ap-
point delegates to the State Convention,
the following Resolutions were unamin,-
ously adopted:
Resolved, That, in the opinion of this
Convention rebels are outlaws, and should
be treated as such, having no rights under
constitution which they repudiate, and
having forfeited all protection by the gov
eminent which they are laborine to over
threw, and that none but traitors will crv
out against the Administration for esiro
beyond the letter of law, or transeepdino
constitutional bounds in dealing with those
VINO, by taking up arms against the Gov
eminent virtually declare themselves will
ing to abide the consequences of revolu-
ton.
Resolved, That we consider the lives Of
our friends and loyal citizens of the United
States more sacred than the properfv Of
ieoels, ana that 1t IS the true policy and
the duty of this Government to weaken its
enemy by taking from his effects, and es-
pecially by shearing him of that STRENGTH
which supports him in the field. thus ens-
bling him longer and more efectualIy to
bear arms against the Government.
Resolved. That we hereby endorse the
late PROCLAMATION of John c, Fremont !,
relation to the manumission of the slaves
OF rebels and hope yet to see the Govern
ment take the same position.
we old not see the Proceedings Of this
Convention, until our last Issue was f,Il.

in; which We hope viii excuse the de,.v
of their publication. We consider tho san
tment as eminently sound and in entire
agreement with views expressed BY Us in
an article in another column. and unite IN

tered to will be adopted by all branches

A REBEL CONSPIRACY THwARTED - A
PLAN TO SEIZE PRESIDENT LINCOLN
The occasion of the seizures of prominent
men in Baltimore lately seems to be ex-
planned by the following, from the N. Y.
Commercial: The Washington CORES
pendent of that paper, under date of Sept.
Is, says:
The government obtained information
some two months ago of conspiracy in
Baltimore composed of the most prominent
men IN that city, who at the proper time
were to proceed to Washington with their
trained bands secretly organized, number
ing some nine thousand men, and assist in
the capture Of Mr.. Lincoln and certain
members of the Cabinet This splendid
enterprise was to be coincident with an at
tack upon the city by the rebel army. In
consequence of this information a large
force OF detectives was despatched to Bal
tlmore, where they disposed of themselves
IN very quiet and unebtrusiye manner,
and by preeoncerted arrangements, bagged
large number Of unsuspectirg knights of
the golden circle, who were Doubtless great
y surprised as we'll as mortified by the
adrolt manner in which '.Old Abe has
turned the tables upon them. and placed
an embargo upon their contemplated I'm
friendly call upon him at the Presideat
mansion.

n0@ The Washington Correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune, under date 18th
inst, says:
We have no troops except guard at
Harper's Ferry, and have not needed them.
If Johnston should undertake to cross
there, he would find himself cut off Nei-
Their do we need troops below Washington.
The enemy cannot cross there. If they
attack US it must be directly in front. VIII
they do it? am assured that the Gov
eminent expects it, and is acting upon
that expectation The rebels must either
attack or retreat, Or see their army dlsor-
gained. The Naval Expeditions row fit
ting out, and the affair at Hatteras, have
alarmed the Gulf States. They must de-
fend their coasts Soon, troops will be
needed from Manassas to defend other
points. To have the army disintegratcd
without striking blow, would be almost
as bad as defeat They would give any
thing to have Mcclellan advance at once
They are growing savage. Read the chal-
lenge in one of the Richmond papers
"Why don't you come out and fight :? Why
don't you advance 2" They will be graft
fed in due time. 1t is a great thing to be
able to know when to hold on and when
to let go. The business men wto crowd
your streets would give fair percentage
OF each days transactions if they had su-
perior wisdom on these points. Present
indications show that Mcclellan is not
wanting as military strateglst. It wo' d
seem that few days more must reveal
some positive action on the part of the
rebels.

Mr. EprToR--Permit member OF your
Agricultural Society to Offof suggestion
relative TO committees, premiums, awards
etc. connected with the town fair. am
aware Of the dificnlty attending selections,
and also how hard it is for committees when
weltsclectedj to do justice, aud give satls-
faction in every case. Bot this fact only
shows the necessity Of selecting persons OF
some experience in the departments where
they are called TO act For example, gen.
tleman might be an excellent judge of hor.
SeS and cattle, or farming utensils, patent
rights aud articles OF husbaudry generally,
and yet be totally unqualified as a commit.
tee on musical instruments, painting, &c.
So lady familiar with substantial lfea per-
feet adept in the dairy, domestic economy,
and the art Of guiding her household, might
feel embarrassed when called to pass judg
ment upon the quality Of certain "6ne arts 4"
To give an illustration, let me refer to
fact which occurred last year. The com.
mittee on the Floral department, awarded
the lirst premium to a fine, firy.red coxcomb,
while rich variety Of nearly score of the
most exqusiely beautiful flowers contribu.
ted by another, was passed by uuoticed,
somew hat to the amazement Of ladies, who
uttered many sharpe comments and criti
cisms on tnste in general. Now, ] do not
charge this to any favoriteSm, but either to
oversight, or q very strong passion for bril-
liant colors or perhaps want Of expert
ence and observation in the floral depart
ment. Such discrepancies are likely to Oc-
cur, unless persons are selected for their ex-
perience, rather than ns q compliment
To judge of relative merit, there must be
some acquaintance with the articles on ex.
hibtion.
Another Inconsistency, is in awarding the
second premium, when there is no other ar
ticle of the kind on exhibition. II the ar
ticle has no competitor, then there is moth
ing better on exhibition. II the article has
if the committee deem competition necessary
to the awarding of premiums, then it is on
ly candor to say so, and explain The ground
of their action The design of u Fair should
not only be to encourage different branches
of industry, but to do so by encouraging
audable competition. But when there is
no competition, and real merit presents its
claim, Of course it will be encouraged by
some consideration.
Perhaps, as arrangements for the present
year are already made, these suggestions
will be deemed superauous still, they may
contain thought, useful in the future, and
possibly suggestion for the present year.
