Who Shall Governt

The persistent stubbornness with which the
President adheres to his scheme of "compen
sated emancipation of the negroes, shows the
character Of the man. and reveals very plainly
the nature of the contest in which the people are
engaged with the Executive. Mr.. LINCOLN
started out with the idea that himself and Con-
greSs had pretty much the whole matter in their
own hands, and that any mode of conducting the
war which suited them ought to be acceptable to
every one else. The people we're ignored. So
he proposed law to Congress pledging the peo-
pie to pay for all negroes who might be emanci-
pated by State authority. That frightful
and unlawful proposition, but Congress being as
crazy as the President on the negro question,
adopted the plan, all the Republicans voting for
it. That law involved an item to the national
debt of two thousand millions Of dollars, pro-
vided the Southern States consented to sell their
negroes for the promise to pay of Mr. LINCOLN
and his Congress. In short it proposition to
tax white labor to make the negroes of the South
free, and that, too, without asking the voters of
the United States if they willing to be taxed
for such purpose. 1t was an Executive and
COHSTeSSOnal eulcJ nufieu at tie neduS OF tuifty
millions of white men, by which themselves.
their children, and their grand children we're to
be ground down by taxation. for the imaginary
benefit of Il servie inhabiting distant States.
and with whom they had no intercourse and no
political or social connection. A more unjust
and insulting proposition could not be conceived.
But it passed into the form of law, and stands as
such Till repealed
The people of the free States became Justly
President, and at the elections on the l4th of
October and 4lh of November, the great States
of Pennsylvania, Ohio Indiana, New York, Illi-
nois. New Jersey and Wisconsin, put the seal of
their disapprobation upon that scheme of plunder
of the white man. Never was any measure more
emphatically condemned. And vet Mr.. LINCOLN,
in his late message reiterates this folly and pro-
poses National Convention to carry out its pro-
visionsl He disregards the voice of the people
and seems resolved to force his own crude and
wild scheme upon the nation. A score of the
men who voted for it in Congress are turned out
to grass by the people, and Mr. LINCOLN is only
protected in his place because his term of Office
is unexpired. If he means to brave it out and
spurn public sentiment, he will meet his reward
when the Presidential ballot is again opened
The question is, who shall govern-the Presi-
dent or the people?"

cannot fight always: for when. after mucn loss on
both Sides and no gain on either We cease fight
ing, the identical old question as to terms Of in
tercourse. is again upon us-l President Lincoln s
Inaugural.
That is, unquestOnably, the most sensible SEN
tence ever uttered by Mr.. LINCOLN. 1t was the
sentence which induced Senator DOUGLAS to pre-
dict for the President peaceful and conservative
Administration. 1t gave the nation hope. and
the people confidence.
Well, we have been to war with the South, and
with "much loss on both sides, and no gain on
either" the contest is vet carried on, with the
sacrifice of three hundred thousand lives and
fifteen hundred millions OF treasure The homes
of thousands are desolate, and the loved ones who
went forth to battle will return no more Every
day adds hundreds, and every week thousands. to
the lists of the unnumbered dead The graves of
the slain, and the newly turned earth. tell the
passer-by that death has swept over the land of
WAsHTSGTOS, CLAY and JACKSON. The soil of
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee has drank the
blood of the brave
The identical question to the terms of in
tercOurse is again upon us" and what does Mr.
LINCOLN say to his own proposition? How does
he propose to unite this people-this kindred
race? By terms of Adjustment No. By call
ing convention of all the States for the purpose
of forming "a more perfect Union2" No. By
holding out to the Union men of the South prom
ises of protection for their property, and giving
them guarantees which will justify their fidelity
to the Government? None of these things are
offered. He propose
L. The emancipation of all slaves in States
found in rebellion on the lst of January 1863.
3 The confscation of slave and other property
by military courts, and without trial by jury; or,
B. The purchase of all Southern negroes by
the General Government, and their payment
from taxes paid by the white people of this ma
ton.
These are the prominent schemes set forth to
restore the Union, aided 10y few minor meas
ures of the same character and tendency.
twill be seen that the "question as to terms of
intercourse" all center in the liberation of the
negro. That seems to be the Alpha and Omega
of Mr. LINcoLN's policy. He has no other terms
to propose. Having conceived the grand and
sublime idea that "thS Union cannot exist half
slave and half free" the President is resolved to
know no other political salvation for the country
If he has no ''terms" for the South but the free
dom of the negro, has he no respect for the North
when her people reject his policy. and say they
will have none of it? When such States as New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana
his emancipation folly, will he continue
weak and wicked enough to force il on the na-

may recede from his weak devices. but twenty

NEGRo's OPINION OF NIGeER WoRsHIPER-
The Anglo African, New York paper owned
and edited by negroes. is angry with Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher for some remarks, and pitches into
him thus:
Yet there is some allowance to be maGe in the
case OF Mr.. Beecher. He is born rowdy; he is
by nature ''subteranean" after the strictest
sect of the Mike Walsh school; he is linked with
the groveling instincts of the Democracy by af-
6nites, which grace has not yet overcome.
Hence, when negro comes up before his ex-
cited imagination, he only sees something to butt
against, as the maddened bull in lhe Spanish
arena. These pecuiarities speak out in his gait
and manner in the street, where we never meet
him without the mental exclamation before we
have rec ,gnized him. There comes stipend

The Presidents Message aud the war.


Very general are the complaints of the silence
of the President, in his annual Message, on the
paramount and all-absorbng question of the
war. Even the old Commercial Advertiser. of
New York, which is seldom given to violent emo
tions, cannot restrain its intense feeling of dis
appointment. Ii says that "in one respect tie
Message disapponts US, and is, indeed, unsatis-
factory. II is entirely silent on the domestic
condition of the country. Except from incidental
mention, the reader of the document would have
no idea of the mighty and exhausting conflict
through which the country is passing. and
which has been so fruitful of events during the
past year" That the message ais without
word of commisseration for the brave wounded
and dead, or genial paragraph for the living;"
that sit is strangely barren of every WORD or idea
that could lead one to suppose that had
slain its thousands and disease its tens of thou
sands since the preceding message was penned;'
that this one "has not word OF sympathy for
the past cheer for the future. and yet we all
know that more patriotic heart and more kindly
nature has no man than ABRAHAM LINCOLN"
