Certainly neither Mr. Lincoln nor his Cab
met have proved leaders. They have not
gone before the people. Their policy is one
which has obliged the public to demand each
step ofadvance. They feared division at the
North. They feared the malignant fragments
of the Democratic party. Fear was stronger
than faith. They ventured only those points
about which there was unity aud eagerness,
with the whole community. Even when
they advanced, they preferred to have it seem
rather like resistance to yet further ad-
vanced radicalism, than to be voluntary
progress beyond some old landmarks.
This might be the melancholy wisdom of
such times as Washngton'S, with small
population, with few resources, with little
money, with an untried Government driving
a team OF newly y0ked States. But lie who

in Washington thick as spiders webs on

the great national truth and its historic
pride had been ridden forth with courage
and will. But when an Administration
weaves the mighty affairs Of this nation like
a lace weaver, with thread and b0bbin piled
upon its knee, no wonder that all its time is
consumed in loops, and broken threads and
