OLDABE LINCOLN AND THE New YORK HERALD
Ever since the 9th of last November Old Abe
Lincoln has been a historical parsonage, and
we have fully recognized the fact by giving to
the public the fullest and most accurate intelli-
gence as to his movements. This information
has been received from our correspondents at
Springfield and elsewhere, and has been suffi-
GENTLY accurate to be appropriated by the 7ri-
hume and other republican journals AS we
have had important exclusive news from
Springfield, our contemporaries who stand on
the Chicago platform (Which is, very decided
ly, not our platform) have begun to grow very
uneasy, and seem to fear that we intend to mo-
nopolize the ancient rail-splitter, and that we
are ambitious to reign in the kitchen and par
lor of the Presidents house. You need have
no fears, gentlemen; our tastes do not tend in
that direction. We are only endeavoring to
give accurate news about Lincoln, no matter
how far we may disagree with him politically,
as part of our duty to the public as journalist.
The spoils, so dear TO Greeley, Webb, Ray
mond and the rest, have no temptation for us,
and the public may be assured that we will 60 on
as before, giving all the information as to pass
ing events that labor can obtain Our duty is
to the people, who expect to find the news in
the HERALD every morning; and we intend now,
as ever before, to attend to our own affairs, and
to let the politicians go to the devil (their as
sured destination) in their own way.

VIII the People OF the North Permit
COerc1Onr

II was clearly evolved from the discussion
between Senator'S Seward and Mason, on Thurs
day last, that the future premier under Mr.. Lin
coin, has calculated civil war as amng the pro-
liabilities of the future, and as an inevitable
consequence of persistence on the part of the
South in its resistance Of; Northern aggression.
The arguments of the tyrant-force, compul-
sion and power, as q last resort-were employ
ed by him without stint, and he declared his
readiness to "stand or perish" with arms in his
hands, il upon that condition alone the Union
may be preserved. Everybody" he said,
"who shall resist, oppose or stand in the way
Of the preservation of this Union, Will appear as
moths upon summers eve" when the whirl-
wind arises which shall sweep them away.
Wanting that the issues between North and
South were founded upon mere abstraction,
in behalf Of "twenty-four African slaves, one
slave for each forty-four thousand square miles
Of territory" acknowledging that slavery has
ceased to be a practical question:" he could
yet declare that "battle was the measure to be
resorted to last, for the salvation Of the con-
federacy." Mr.. Mason, in reply, deprecated
"measuring swords" to settle such controver-
sy. ~ trust" he exclaimed, "that we may
avoid the ultima ratio Of the Senator from New
York / trust the good sense, the wisdom,
the civilization, the humanity Of the age, will
rescue the country from the effect Of any such
counsels. l trust that in the free States there
Is body Of good sense, an enlightened basis
Of patriotism, sufficiently free from the
shackles of party obligations to see tho folly
Of such advice. What war TO restore this
Union or preserve it? And that men of sense
shall be deluded into war under the pretence
of only enforcing the laws of the nationg
appeal to the free States to repudiate the coun-
sells of the Senator from New York, and disown
them and If, in the Providence of God, IL Is to
result that we are 10 separate in two confedc-
racies, then let the counsek Of peace prevail,
and not the counsels OF the Senator from New
York. Let the counsels Of peace prevail, a.
the only counsels which can avert that greatest
Of all calamities--war between brother and
brother-a war between races, which could
conquer peace only through oceans Of blood
and countless millions Of treasure"
Nine ont Of ten Of the people of the North
ern States are prepared to re-echo the patriotic
sentiments Of Mr.. Mason. The citizens of the
free States are not prepared for civil war, nor
will they consent TO imbrue their hands In the
blood Of their brethren at the South The
views promulgated by Mr.. Seward have excited
the deepest feeling of distrust and alarm, and

The MORRILL,. TARIFF BnL--Amid the din
and smoke of this Southern revolution, the
republican party in Congress, as a precious
sop to the manufacturing interests of Pennsyl-
vania and New England. are pushing along the
Morrill, prots ctive tariff bill, measure which
seems to be especially levelled at the commercial
asccndancy Of New York The bill with its
advanced scale of duties on iron, woollen and
cotton manufactures, and with its specific
assessments, &C., gives an increased protection,
or bounty, ranging from fifteen to twenty per
cent, for the benefit of our home manufacturing
companies; and 1t is not surprising, therefore,
that Pennsylvania and the New England States
should be working like beavers to carry this
measure, including all the resources Of pow
erful and INSCRIPTIONS lobby.
But how the delegation in Congress from
New York have been brought to support this
bill, which practically abolishes the warehous-
ing system, we cannot imagine. The idea IL
immediate relief to the treasury, by enforcing
the immediate payment Of duties; but the
effect of this expedient will be the suspension,
to an immense extent of importations which
would otherwise be made There is no market
in this country now for the sale Of imported
goods; but, under the warehousing system, I'm.
portatons may be made, and acid in readi-
ness for the first opening Of mar.
ket 1mportations, however, will not now
TO any extent be made. when heavily in.
creased duties are to b. paid lpon them with
in three months from the das OF their delivery
upon our wharves. The warehouAing system
encourages irnportations ana stimulates cur
merchants IN the work Of fading a market for
their goods, giving tanu meantime the benefit
OF credit system which largely increases
Their capacities TO import more. We can only
look, therefore, upon ibis oew tariff cxpcdient,
reducing the warehousing privilege TO
three months, "a q republican measure of pun
ishnent against the snti-,epublcsn city Of New
York.
The bill, at this time in every other essential.

GREELEY FIATTENED OUT.-The defeat Of the
Spruce street ticket at Albany on Saturday,
and the smashing of Weeds slate at the same
time, appear to be highly satisfactory to Gree
ley and his cotldbordteurs. They claim that be
cause Evarts was defeated Weed is smashed; or,
to ufe their own words, "The one man power
at the State capital is overthrown. The sceptre
has departed from Judah, and q lawgiver from
between bis feet" This is all bosh, and Gree
ley knows it. In the course Of ten ballots
he never came within ten votes of the
number required for his nomination, and when
the Weed men found that the only thing they
could do was to Stay the Tribune philosopher
outright, they withdrew their blnd-for Evarts
was nothing more than a straw candidate and
put in their real man. Greeley has been fiat
tened out a Ia Forney. In 1856 Forney Sc
cured the vote of Pennsylvania for Mr.. Bu-
chanan, and hankered after the Scnatorship.
In his career as an editor Forney had made
many bitter enemies and powerful rivals
They managed to kill him off, although he
came much nearer to an election than Greeley.
Forney Is enemies, rather than permit his triumph,
absolutely connived at the election of Came
ron, their political opponent Forncy was then
turned out of Buchanan's kitchen, and. after
bowling with hunger and cold for couple of
years, managed to quarter himself,
political mendicant, upon the re-
publican party. Without doubt Gree.
ley will meet the same fate. He is no
match for Weed in political strategy, and has
been outwitted at every battle between them.
Harris will be Weeds man, Greeley will be
kicked ANONYMOUSLY from the kitchen, and
Weed Will dole out the federal pap to the faith
full In this State. Already there are indications
that the claims of the Tribune philosophers are
to be ignored by the incoming administration.
The Tribune claims to speak semi-ofRcially for
the President elect, which Is the most trans
parent humbug. William II. Seward is really
the mouthpiecc of Old Abe, and Seward n not
the man to trust Greeley with the programme
of the administration. The Chevalicr Webb
would DO quite as safe repository as Hon.
Massa Greeley, and Webb always blurts out
everything he hears. This fact accounts for
the wonderful summersaults which the Tribune
has lately msde-one day favoring peace and
the other war policy. Greeley will always
have great influence with the masses Of his
party, and will, IL he lives long enough, break
down the leaders who oppose him. The poll.
ticians, however, pooh-pooh at the old white
Goat. fhurlow Tses is tbs pan for thcir
money, or rather they are the men for his.

slaveholding than in the slaveholding States
1t is true that the bitter end SO long foreseen Ia
approaching, and that the period has arrived
for the country to pay for the treat of elevating
antislavery republicanism to power; yet the
catastrophe has not come upon us SO suddenly,
or without such premonitory signs, that citizens
of the States north of Mason and Dixon's line,
can be hurried into course 20 suicidal atrocious
and wicked as portion of our republican lead
ers would mark out for them. We have drifted
to point where the problem has ceased to be,
whether the Union can be saved; and, in answer
to the still more important question, shall 7e
South be permitted to go out peaceably' ory
conservative, right minded man at the North
has already given, in his heart, an AFR
native response. "Irrepressible conflict" has
succeeded in developing the outlines of a fear
full shadow over the land; but sober minded,
patriotic citizens will never permit it to acquire
there would be no parallel Of nation, from
similar height of prosperity surrounded by
every external and rejoicing in every internal
essential of happiness; having plunged its flu
ture destiny, its wealth, fair fame and the hopes
resting upon it, into such an abyss Of ruin,
desolation and recoverable hopelessness of
misery, as would be the consequence, If sue
cessful, Of Mr.. Stewards appeal to "battle"
Far better that the Union should be dismem-
bercd forever, than that fraternal hands should
be turned against one another to deluge the
land in blood.
The masses of our population, in all of the
States, are unquestionably peace loving and
conservative. Five-sixths of those who are en-
titled to vote, in the North, deplore the agita-
ton which is kept alive by the demagogueism
of their representatives. They see the gigantic
footsteps with which anarchy has been lately
progressing; but they have found it impossible
as yet, to make their voices heard. They have
witnessed the culpable inactivity of Congress,
and have seen discretion, judgment and patriot
ism sacrificed before ambition and venality
without having it in their power to remedy tho
evil. But if in addition to what is past, they
see civil discord about to be inaugurated, they
will arise as one man and cry Out-No! They
loathe the thought of internecine strife upon
paltry issue, created by despotism and fanati-
cism, and they have already issued the fiat that,
if the States of the Union must separate they
shall do SO in amity, and they will hold Mr..
Seward and the administration of which he is to
form part responsible, if lie exerts bis infu-
ence to force them into it.

Preserving Fruit.

There is nothing so badly needed among
fruit-raisers, as a certain method of preserving
their fruit. Some people are very successful
m their efforts, while others, the great major
1ty, totally fail to save their apples and pears,
especially the latter, for any heightened
period. Grain, bran, chat, meal, shavings
sardust, &C., have all been used with more or
less satisfactory results. Laterly land plaster
has been introduced, and is spoken of very
favorsbly, and We have no doubt Justly, It's

packed in barrels or other vessels. and sepa-

Is annually applied to the grass, corn, &c. it is
only necessary to purchase it a few msnths in
advance, as it will keep without deterioration
any length Of time. 1t is said that apples can
be preserved until May, in perfect condition
and flavor. 1t is not too late to act upon the
hint, this season, with respect to apples
