Their Tune Is Turned.

The menacing exultations of the Abo-
lition press, both in Pittsburg and Phila-
delphia, Immediately after the election,
gave US a foretoken of the reign of terror
about to be inaugurated by the lawless
leaders Of that fanatical party, had they
been successful. Deluded by the result
of the election in those and approximate
places, which was effected by money,
favor and corruption, they thought they
had carried the day, and Immediately
they set up the hideous howls of triumph
that the Administration was sustained
and that the war should now be carried
on exclusively for the abolition of slavery;
and that being endorsed by the people they
could pursue the demon of their nefarious
designs against liberty and the enemies of
their diabolical doctrines; but how changed
their tune when the honest voice of an in
dignant and outraged people from those
portions of the State, where the honest
yeomanry, unfettered by the chains of
Abolition tyranny and not dependent on
political demagogues for place and favor,
resolved to speak ere it was too late-to
rebuke and hurl back the tide of fanati-
cism which was about to enslave the lib
erty Of the press and the privileges of the
poor man. Thank God the people have
spoken. The people are always right.
They have signifed to Abraham Lincoln
that he is the servant and they the sover-
eigns; and the whitening rebuke which
has been so manifestly administered to
him and his advisers, clearly shows that
the loyal and conservative people of the
North are not willing to subscribe to the
doctrines enunciated by Greely and about
TO be put in practice by the President
that they will not endorse policy which
is in direct opposition TO the Constitution
and the repeated decisions of the Supreme
Court, the highest authority in the land
This is timely admonition coming di-
rectly from the people: VIII the Presi-
dent profit by the advice? VIII he come
back to the first anchoring of his inaugu-
raj address, and, in the true spirit of the
Constitution, conduct this war for the
restoration of the Union, or will he con-
tinue to listen to Greely, Philips, Lovejoy
and such like fanatics who continually
dream of the sable man and contemplate
schemes for the overthrow of our Gov
ernment ? The unmistakable voice of
the freemen of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana, New Jersey, Delaware and New
York, cannot fail to awaken the President
to the position he occupies-to the blum
ders in his recent conduct ; and if he was
honest in his views set forth in his inau-
gural, when he declared from the portico
of the White House, in the presence of
thousands of his countrymen, that he in
tended to act impartially and that he had
no desire or intention to interfere with
slavery or the domestic institutions of any
of the States, now is the time to act upon
that pledge and TO cut loose from the trea-
sonable plottings of Abolitionism, which
have brought naught but disgrace to our
cause, disaster to our arms and sorrow to
countless parents who have lent their sons
in good faith to fight for the supremacy of
the Government under which they had
prospered.
