President Lincoln says: "1fI I could save
t'the Union without freeing any slaves, I
sswoula do it; and If + could save it By
freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and
s'it l could save it by freeing some and
"lcaying others alone, I would also do
e>that"
It seems to US that President Lincoln
with his usual frankncss here admits that
he has not Jet definitely decided in his
Own mind what course he should adopt in
regard 10 the controlling element in this
terrible conflict. We would respectfully
ask. is this condition Of things becoming
to our Executive in this fearful crisis
What further amount Of suffering, Of cx-
penditure, of modification, Of loss of con-
Idcnce at home and Of character abroad,
must be undergone before this great doubt
shall be solved?
President Lincoln possesses many qua!i-
6calions and characteristics tia: attach to
7sim the admiration and respect Of our
people. His unselfshnes=, his unambitious,
unpretendous, undoubted patriotism, his
logical ability and his pure character give
him q strong hold on the hearts Of the
people. Why can he not rise above the
srammels Of mere poicy-always short
sighted and time se1ving-to clear COM
prehcnsion Of the requirements Of this
great exigcncy! Hc has it il his power
to write LIS name along side that Of Wash
angton, aud all that Is necessary is for him
to prove himself is Washington was ade-
Qua:c 10 his place and occasion.

REFORMING BACKWARD.

A rebellion in which both sides wero contend.
ing for the status quo, is something of which
history has failed to make menton and such
rebellion, ii it were possible, would be NOR
tifying testimony to the folly Of mankind. The
Southern revolt, it seems b US, has no satirists
bittcrer than its Northern ap0logists, who con-
tend i'll newspaper columns and in conventions,
that the Shareholders are altogether in the right
and entirely i'll the wrong; that they must be
conquered, and that they must be concated;
that while they are criminal in their course, the
Government il also criminal in its course; and
that if we will only fight each other fercely
enough We shall sOon be again locked in q
brotherly embrace. In justice to our Southern
brethren, we must admit that they are seldom
guilty Of this folly. We have before us a Rich
mond newspaper which, in commenting upon
the recent reverses Of the Rebels talks with
all the earnestIess Of hate and all the reckless.
ness Of despair, Of death, conhagration, ruin,
and extinction, as preferable to surrender; and
intima!es that the planters will kill themselves
aud their wives and their children and their
slaves, viii burn their cities and SOW their
fields with SALT before they viii come back to
the detestable Union.
Now, THE language either means something
or nothing. III the first. then you waste all
the Establishments of honeyed resolution and Of
susary speech upon these truculent fellows if
nothing, then they are parcel of Pistols, who

A. We acre once happy and are now miserable,
lie ouly way TO be once more happy is to be

rs taese Democratic gentlemen fancy, is not to
press forward to permanent and rational
peace, but TO go back again to our never end

more a Buchanan could, as it were. irradiate

AIMED INTERVENTION.

During the last years Of the reign of Angus.
tus ILL.,, Russia and Prussia, claiming the
right to protect certain inhabitants Of Poland,
began to interfere with the Institutions and to
attempt to control the Government OF the Po-
lish people. AT that period Poland had begun
to show many symptoms OF weakness, and had
lost much of its old prestige. The Polish Diet
yielded TO the demands OF the Intervening pow
ers, under the armed pressure exercised by
Russia and by the treaties OF l7G7-e, the
claims against the National Government were
brought under the special protection Of al IN
vading force.
On the death Of Augustus ILL.,, Russia, in
alliance with Prussia and Austria. placed upon
the throne Of Poland the Russian minicn, Ponis-
towshi, whose aim during the whole Of his i'll
glorious reign was to dig the grave OF Polish
nationality. 10 maintain the new order Of
things, it was found expedent to leave q stand
ing army OF occupation in the country. In
their eagorness TO prevent this outrage the
patriots rushed to arms. but the king toOk
sides with the INVADERS and the national do
tenders were finally crushed. Pulawski, the
chief Of the patriotic band, and the greatest
Pole OF the century, was banished, and died Oh
exile in this country. These events transpired
between 1868 and l77!.
During the progress Of the wsr, a triplrtite
alliance was signed between the three crowned
assassins Of Poland; and in this, No in other
particulars, history is found repeating itself in
the misgogeraod Republic Of Mexico. The
characters are changed, aud they have shifted
the scene OF their operations: the iniamy is the
same. Mark the similitude in tho drama.
Prussia, on the plea Of former possession
of certain lands. suggested The partition Of
Poland and tho Treaty of l772; but Prussia
being unequal to the task alone, worked upon

In 1772, the allied invaders declared that

In 1871, what remained OF Polish nationality
was reused to attempt reform Of the institu.
tons of the country; and Burke. with bis
compeers in the English Parliament, applauded
The efforts in terms Of unqualified admiration.
But the invaders again took common counsel
arraigned the Polish patriots before their tri-
bunal; accused them Of disorder and OF DIS
turbing vested interests; and in 1793 second
partition was perpetrated.
In 1874, the Poles once more rushed ~ arms;
but only TO suffer defeat, the invading powers
soemnly declaring in their Convention that the
Polish nation has proved itself no longer ca.
.pabIe of forming Government for itself, or
" maintaining an Independent existence" Such
was the Intervention for establishing order and
protecting property interests in Poland. Such
is the aim at least Of some Of the intervening
powers in Mexico, And the family Of Haps'
burg, by wellordered arrangement, Is to sup
ply the instrument in the form and semblance
Of monarch-to reimpose the yoke of des'
potic power on the wretched republic, and re-
