Prophecy Fulfilled.

If these internal fanatics and Aboli-
tonsts ever get power in their hands,"
sail the great Webster, on memorable
occasion, "they will override the Consti-
tuition set the Supreme Court at defiance,
change and make laws to suit themselves,
lay violent hands on those who differ
with them in their opinion or dare ques-
tion their iniAlibility, and finally bank
rnpt the country, or deluge it with blood"
Millions Of such warnings says q cotem-
porary, were impotent to stay the tide of
Abolition fanaticism. 1t reached power,
and in few short months the most Of
this prophecy is already fulfilled. TO

Our Late Iscvcrscs--Thc kcpub-
Iican Party Responsible.

From almost every quarter of the Re-
public, where the armies OF the Union
and the Confederacy confront each other
in ''battle's magniiccntly stern array"
comes tidings Of thousands OF loyal lives
lost in disastrous combats. Az indc.
scribable gloom--a sullcn despair, mixed,
however, with feeling of confidence in
future success, pcrvades the loyal States;
and the important question is being ask
ed: d" Who is responsible?" The Presi.
pcnt, the Cabinet and the Generals in the
field, are all denounced in language bitter
and vindictive. That the denunciation
Of these persons is, in measure, merit
ed, we have every reason to belive; but
that the responsibility of the disasters
over which we grievc should fall upon
them as individuals we do not believe.
That responsibility is with the Repub-
lican party.
Before the Representatives of that par
/ ty, in Congress assembled, put upon the
statute books of the Republic their mad
and impracticable schemes OF negro lcgis-
lation, our armies were mighty and'a-
gainst them nothing could prevail
When discipline had made our citizens
soldiers, upon every bloody battle field
where we met the insolent foe, we wrung
from fate the palm of victory; and as oul
armies advanced into the rebellious coun.
try they were created heartily by loyal
Southernors. The North was unit and
the South was divided; In Eear!y every
Southern State there was strong Union
element, the encouragement OF which
would have MATERIAL Y aided in the down.
fall Of the rebellion, and would have Sc
cured the Union as it was in the happy
and prosperous past. But, instead o
pursuing this patriotic course, the Repub
Leans cried aloud for determination, ant
passed unconstitutional laws Tor the pur
pose Of robbing the South OF it's most sa
cred rights. This policy united TIN

it had tendency to divide the North, b,

The consequences was while we were tai k

and now we are met by overwhclmin
numbers OF desperate men and beaten a
every point. When an impartial .isto
ry of the present time shall have bee

Preachers Exempt from Draft.

The Secretary Of War has directed
that every minister Of the gospel, who
has pastoral charge of church or con-
gregation, shall be exempt from military
duty by draft. We are perfectly willing
that every Christian minister shall be ex-
cmpt from draft. but we think that every
man who has been guilty of preaching
politics from the pulpit on Sunday,
should not only be compelled to shoulder
muskct, but should be placed in tho
front ranks in every engagement with tho
rebels. They might thus be made useful
in saving the lives Of better men.
