fne passage Of the Tariff and Tax bills

the passage OF many minor bills was necessary
To give the government power. Had the Presi-
dent previously opposed the radicals, these
bills would never have been passed. He wait
ed patiently, therefore, until every one OF these
necessary, indispensable bills had become law,
and them when the radicals brought up their
pet scheme, he deliberately put his foot down
upon them and crushed them to atoms. No
wonder that Wade raved like mailman, while
Sumner sneaked cowardly away. No wonder
ths+abolition Congressman insultingly refused
to listen to the reading of the Presidents mes
sage. No wonder that the abolitionists Of both
tho Senate and the House insolently declined to
allow the message to be printed. No wonder
that tho abolition majority Of the Senate sat
with closed doors afterwards, and deliberately
rejected every civil and military nomination In
which The President was personally or specially
interested. including that Of General Marcy,
the father-in-law of Mcclellan. Having used
them as he wished, the President, ss the Til
b,ne sorrowfully admits, has suddenly cut loose
from the abolitionists forever, administered to
them kick by way of farewell, and taken his
stand among the conservative masses upon the
border State platform.
The loyal people of the North are electrified
by this glorious action Of the President. They
now desire him to 60 on in the right path and
treat Northern and Southern traitors alike. BY
the logic Of events aboltionism has been proven
to be treason. Wendell Phillips, the arch
traitor Of the North, declared ut Boston, =
few days ago, that JEFF Davis was doing
less to break up the Union than President
Lincoln;" that we are paying the enormous
penalty of millions of dollars and thousands Of
lives for that bad system Of government mis-
called democracy and that " from 1916 to
1861 the abolitionists had preached the lesson
that over the ruins Of the American church
and the ruins of the American Union is the
only exodus for the slave" Greeley, the little
abolition traitor, has again and again endorsed
these sentiments, and has declared within the
last few days that "the war was essentially
over that Europe would now recognize the
confederaoy and that the Union would be dis
solved" If this be not treason, what is? Abo-
litionism, thus having proven itself treason, has
also proven itself useless to aid the Union
cause. Its intrigues have brought US only de-
feat. Mcclellan has In vain endeavored to get
able bodied negroes to work for him in the
trenches. Hunter, having freed by proclama-
ton the slaves of three States, could not obtain
one full regiment Of blacks to use his Tribune
muskets and wear his red flannel army trowsers.
The President could not be blind to these facts;
but the abolitionists controlled Congress, and
he therefore hesitated to rebuke them until the
bills needed by the government were passed.
As soon as those bills were laws, the President
deliberately slapped abolitionism'in the face.
Let him but follow up the blow by the arrest
Of one such traitor as Wendell Phillips, and the
ioyal North, enfranchised from the eneryating
doubt as to whether the war is to be prose
cu.ed for the Union or the negro, will rush to
arms and crowd the field with patriot soldiers.
