ing back rebellion and trying to save the eoun-

try from utter overthrow.
Fremont was faithfully tried, and, after a
most shameful failure, was charged in due form
with fraud, incompetency, ard disobediepce.
What then! Why, he was simply superseded
not tried, dismissed, or even suspended; and
as soon as the gallant Hallecl; had retrieved our
almost lost fortunes n iissouri and Buell. and
Grant had driven rebellion out of Tennessee
and Kentucky, Fremont with those charges stu
hanging over him untrie1, is thrust into an e.
! quality with them, given Major Generals de-
partment, and put into the field to carry aboli-
| ton where Democratic Generals and soldiers
have driven out rebellion, and Immediately Jot-
ioci,sg hina goes broadcast lN. Lacoln's ensancirJ
ton message!
Carl Sch urz is recalled from foreign En-
bassy TO take BrigadieF Generals commission
while Col Muliran, who was left to destruc-
ton by Fremont, bu. saved the honor OF our
| army, win lead some centre of regiment,
wearing only q Coloners epauleites, perhaps nm
der Schurz himself
7wenty-sir thousand new offices have been crea-
ted in the internal revenue department alone;
and three times that many in other places, and
are or will be filledby anti-Democrats.
The New York Tribune, the Independent, and
other New York papers, the Boston L7beTdtor,
the Chicago Tribune, and hosts of smaller Abo-
lition sheets all over the country, have received
government patronage had free access to mails
and telegraphs, liberal support from Mr LIN
coins supporters and advisers, officers and friends
and all the time they have preached treason, dis
union, and violation of the Constitution, mob
/ law, magned government officers criticised adj
nlinistrative acts, libeed the dead and the liv-
/ ing While Democratic or conservative papers
were mobbcd by these partisans, and mail and
telegraphs closed against them by the govern
ment, and their supporters imprisoned.
Wendell Phillips and his co-workers have
preached the same things, been hired by the
same parties, been literally paid, aPPlauded, and
greatly distinguished, for striving to break up
the Union and build a strong government On Its
ruins.
Abolition runs riot, while conservatism and
| democracy arc required to keep still, or submit
/ TO summary treatment without authority oi
law. Renegades like Joseph A. Wright are
rewarded for detection and hypocrisy, and true
biuc ,boIi.ionis.s are admitted into the .'holy
of hoies."

doctrines, or intimated that it would not en-
force them law Or no law, as soon as it got
such possession; and when it failed as soon a

Granting ell the difficulties of Mr.. Lincoln:
notwithstanding all his vaunted honesty

want Of diplomatic Notwithstanding it all
he knew, and now knows that conservatism
and the Democratic party made the nation great
united and prosperous that abolition plunged
it into discord, civil strife, and the present aw
full sanguinary struggle; that, by calling to hi
aid the former element and not the latter, ht
could save the nation undivided, with its hber
ties and its strength and escape great burthen
If he is not an abolitionist, why does he curl
or suffer his officers TO curb that element, excep
where it opens the way for abolition, and cling
to the latter whenever it can be made progres

said that democrats alono could save US th'
remnant of our liberties but il they think they
are gong to be permitted TO organize their par
.y for the purpose of defeating the present par
ty in power, fear they are mistaken. Thai
party loves power too well to surrender 1t td
the people 1t cost them too much to surrender
it on demand of their sovereigns. They think
they alone are fit to WELD it, and they doubt

Where have they failed to seek to tear down lis
barriers whenever it intertered with their wish

ever another Presidential election is held, where
opposition to them exists, it will be through
revolution or by some special Providence, FOL
they viii not permit any formidable exhibition
of opposition, nor the open organization OF
party for such opposition.
But the preservation of this Union and the
annhilation of sectonalsm, should be the mot
to of every democrat, and he should face the
cannon's mouth if need be- and sacrifice home
and life, to accomplish it. And lways let hin
remember that he, and that the Union, have
no more deadly or bitter foe than abolition
