mot few of the Republican journals
of the interior are working themselves up
to the belief, which they are trying to i'm
press upon their readers, that the seeded
Statss, be they few OF many. will be whip
ped back into the Union. We caution all
such that in language Of that sort they are
adding new fuel to the flame which Is al
ready blazing too fiercely; and that the
probabilities now are that the result will
prove them to be false prophets. No man
knows what public prosperity may demand
of the incoming administration; but the
drift of opinion seems tob be that, if peace
able secession is possible the retiring States
will be assisted to 60, that this needless
and bitter controversy may be brought to
an end. If The Unisn is TO be dissolved, a
blrodless separation is by all means to be
coveted. Do no: let us make that impos-
sibe Chicago Tribune.

The Soldiers Tear.

Upon the hill he turned,
To take last fond look
Of the valley and the village church,
And the cottage by the brook,
He listened to the sounds
So familiar to his ear
And the soldier leaned upon his sword
And brushed away tear.
Beside the cottage porch,
A ri was on her knees,
She held aloft a scarf
Which tlLttered in the breeze;
She breathed prayer for him,
A prayer he could not hear
But he paused to bless her as she knelt,
And wipe away tear.
He turned away and left the spot,
o, 90 not deem him weak,
For dauntless was the soldiers heart,
Though tears were on his cheek.
Go watch the foremost rank,
In dangers dark career
BE sure the hand most daring there
Has wiped away tear.

THE Governor of Massachusetts declared
the other day in public speech. in so
many words. that "the emancipation Of tie
negroes was the only motive which actua-
ted him in participating m the deadly con
troversy now raging between the two sec
tions of the country" We have no doubt
of it, and as ii is with him so it is with the
whole radical element of the republican
party everywhere. 1t is not to preserve
the government, or to maintain order. or
to do anything for which the war WAS a
vowedly commenced, but to emancipate
the negroes. that they are participating
in the deadly controversy" Everything
government, constitution. law. order
is subordinate to the negro!
Have we not rightly said that one of the
most essential conditions to the suppress
ion of the rebellion and the restoration OF
the::aulhorilyiof the government is the over
throw, at the ensuing elections, of this
northern negro fanaticism?

resulted in the disastrous battle of Bull
Run. 1t protested against Gen. Scott be-
ing driven by the c!amor of fanatics into
measures that his judgement and expert
ence told him could result only in disaster
and shame. Ii pointed out the certainty
of defeat if our armies were separated, pla'
ced under different commanders. and ap-
pointed to fields Of action where unity OF
effort and concentration Of force would be
rendered impossible. 1t denounced the
