.WHAT ABE We EIGHxEAa FoR Z
The present civil war has been raging
for more than year, and yet, it seems,
shas. IL is snos knswn,, even alaung she
leading officials, what We are lighting for.
The war was commenced for the ostensi-
hla purpose Of usinssining the Daaan
and enforcing the laws; bat it would
seem that many looked upon 1t as for
different object, and only lent it their
patriotic (2) support to attain that end
1t has been charged from the commence
ment, that the ultra Abolitionists gave
their support TO the var GA the ground
thaE il was to be the means of abolishing
slavery, and had they supposed that IL
was for the maintenance of the Union

abolition disanionism by their loud hug

that they are getting scared, and very
much fear that the Union will be reStoF-

nized institutions Of the southarn States.

the ,Esssslsd policy of the Government, J"
before any supplies are voted, or the
Presidents demand for 100000 more
men is complied with. ii
We alluded last week, to the implied
thrsas of Senator Grimes, TO vote against
the tax bill, unless the President should
announce as s'tAs settled policy of the
Government the emancipation Of all
the slaves in the South. This week we
lay before our readers the manifesto Of a
notorious AhnIitioniss-th Governor OF
Massachusetts, contained in a letter 10
the Secretary of War, in reply TO requi-
gition made upon him to furnish four
more regiments from that State, from
which it appears that the Governor, re-
CARDS the raising Of regiments to suppress
the rebellion and maintain the Union,
as 'theayy draft upon the patriotism
of the citizens Of Massachusetts "but, -
says the Governor, sit the Presidsnt will
sustain General Hunter" in proclsiming
freedom to all slaves, than "the roads
will swarm, if need be, with multitude
whom New Eengland would pour out to
obey your call"
IL seems from this, that the first
''swaxm" Of soldiers "poured out" from
Massachusetts, have been disappointed in
the object for which the war was com
meneed, or at least the Commanderin
Chisf Of that State has been disappointed
in its prosecution SO far, and feels that il
would be ''beavy draft upon the pat
riotism" of his people TO furnish -four
moEs regiments, unless the sbjscs Of th'
war is the abolishmsnt Of slavery. L
further appears, from the coarse parsaec

that their object in supporting the va
