Is IL WAR.

I fythe Geographic dispatches are to be
credited, Nj. Lincoln. j" spite Of all the
potent and overwhelming reasons fo'
the maintenance IF peace, has resolved
to wage war upon the South-for al.
though it may please him to declare that
the collection Of the revenue in the Sc
ceding States. and the rtcovery and re.
%tention by main force Of the Federal
fertilization are not acts Of war, the
wre,ched hypocriticaI subterfuge will de-
ceive no one. The employment Of CO.
erceive measures toward the common
weaIths which have Withdrawn from the
Union and organized an Independent
Confederacy, constitute war, and will
provoke war;, because it will encounter
determined resistance which will be Of
fered as long as the South possesses a
man or a gun for her defense. We were
lott, to believe in the readiness and reck-
Iessness Of the Black Republican faction.
We could not understand such unfath
enable folly as would be willing to spread
ruin and devastation upon the North.
for the sake Of Cutting an insensate
hatred towards the South. But it is
possible We did not make sufficient al
.lowances for the besotted blindness and
senseless wrath of Abolition. II the
telegraph does not err, M. Lincoln is
willing TO plunge the country into an
abyss OF disast' =. to bankrupt the entire
commercial interest, to deliver oyer The
working classes to misery and want, t"
drive the entire body Of slave States in
to a%filiation with the cotton Common
wealths, and TO begin a war Of conques,
and sutjugation, the end whereof 10
man can possibly devins. If such b.
The case, it il we'll for US to know the

HE MONTGOMERY CoNGREss.-This
prec'pitate body is beginning to find
critics. In the Augusta Georgia, Czron-

editorial declaration Of that journal, that
the government organized will nc, be
binding on the people" Of any State un-
til it receives their consent The CLAIM,
is, that the people should be satisfied,
and that the Montgomery Congress is
going beyond its powers, ard that the
action there will produce strife and dis
sensiou. The writer alluded to asks why
there has been such hot haste to prepare
a permanent Constitution, and adds that
other States, not in Congress, will be
driven off by such precipitancy. The
members Of the Congress were not dele
gated with powers to make any such
Constitution, aud a protest is entered
against the course pursued. 1t is then
added that the delegates at Montgomery
were appointed regularly, hat is to say.
not BY the people, but by the State Con-
ventions. and their appointment, as was
understood, was for consultation. and
not for permanent action. 1t is stated.
also, that the PEOPLE will a. Get the action
with indignant rejection.
