Linceln's Message
Thb message n 20 utterly beneath contempt that
re Aad At one time determined to let 1t pass win
ont comment Having altered that resolution, We
shall dismiss Il in AZ few words ~ possible.
II d certain that nobody assisted Lineoln In tho
roncocxion and execution OF this famous perform
.ncs. Byron and Scott were not more surely the
.uthors Of Chiide Harold and Wsverley than Lin
coin d author Of this message. There are ear
marks In every sentence which It is impossible to
mist.ke. Other MEN are as feeble, and others
.s.,n a. vulgar. Hu, no other man ever blended
folly and vulsarisy In such exquisite union To
liza. =. have of,en said is natural to Yankee. But
Lincoln does not even lie with Judgment The CD
jess Of q lie 10 20 deceive. Idncoin aeee'ves ~"
body. For inx lance, when he says that the war
expenses for the fiscal year have esen but sff'
oNl Nn every man who ever heard of the force he
hss net on foot sees at once that he ia iyins. In
the old army the total military expenses were toand
when added up to average $1,000 per man per all
mum. The pay OF Lncoins soldiers 81 Unea
greater than the pay of the old army. But allow
Ing II to ls the same, he has had on bis nusteT
rolls, and drawing pay, 60. more than yesT 49,,
COO men, which gives $50 100000 Besides, he has
$50 ships Of war ia commission, which must cost a
prodisious sum.
ARsin, We are told that the public credit has
been fully maintained The bankers OF New
York aud Boston, who have been paying pre- miums
Of 80 So, and IS per cent for sold, for the last ak
months will believe tAis, OF course. They viii be-
ieve |: only the rcore strongly when they see the
Banks called on 10 fork over their notes. and ;sks
In exchsns- U. s. bends, which they are then to
deposi, and receive Treasury notes ct SIX per cent

psr cent f: otherwise thsZ would not be very eager
70 lend them TO the Government. This is certainly
q very pretty scheme 10 raise the wind snd Ind
estes . very satisfactory condition Of The public
credit.
In the third place It Is Tnors than insnua'ej that
the Confederate authorities excited the Indian mas
sscres in Minnesota. This lie is too stupii even
for Lincoln. II must hsve baeI suggested ~ some
bedy a shsde more stupid than himself. The Stste
Of Missouri the nearest Confederate State to Kim
nesots, is separated from i. by c: least five bun
dred miles. II, however, ths Confederate sutho
rites had done So they would oaiy lave inflated

tlsnen sad hurnsne lncn They sre Incapable OF
initiating his atrocities. 3eesass lie is brute, he
has RICH. to conclude list every body else is SO.
Fourthly and lastly, lincoln tells rs tbs. the re-
istons Of his Government with foreign powers s1a
sa,idactory-nos so happy as they might be, but
still pretty fair He says no.bing of the pIoposal
submitted by the French Emperor, whi,h indicates
tina; the reisons III question are anything else tnau
Satisfactory; bu! he lets it Leak out that IL June

Nothing in the " hole message is mere ridiculous
than the estimate CT the probable population Of
what was once tie United States II ls.0-an c.ti
mate borrowed from Of tie OLD manifest Ge8
tiny" articles Of the New York Herald Tha c1...,
try cannot be separated LIE TANKS, because the
Mississippi runs entirely through it, and because

Rhine and the Danube of tbs Iatious that live O.

This message, the last AMI poorest Of ali Liza
coins papers, il bat compound of vulga-ity and
folly.
