man in the slaveholding States. I have
seen lately in the New York papers what
purports to be copy of speech lately de-
llvered by Jefferson Davis at Vicksburg,
and OF message sent by him to the COM
federate congress. He seeks to Justify the
action OF the confederate States in seeding
Efrom the Union. He seeks still further Mto
| fire the Southern heart" and to unite the
southern people. How? Not by reference
to the speeches of my colleague. (Mr.s val
landigham,) nor yet to the message of Gov.
ernor Sey mour, nor to the results of the late
elections in New York, New Jersey, and
the northwestern States, all of which you
deplore SO much as calculated to give aid
and comfort to the confederates. He cites
the action of the Administration itself, the
acts of the President and of the majority
in both Houses of Congress--the proelama-
tions, the con6scation acts. the new article
of war, the employment of negroes. These
were the agencies by which he hoped to
crush out whatever lingering hopes remain
ed of restoration of the old Union. These.
were the basis of his appeals to continued
and persistent resistance. These, he said,
were the fulfillment of his prophecies, of
what the Repu blican party would do when
it had the power. You told us therepwass q
strong Union feeling latent in the South,
that you would call it out and give it
strength and activity. Have you done it?-
Have you tried to do it? Is it by this
means that you hope to redeem the prom

Is He a Man or a Dog?

A Northern paper informs us that the
President of the Yankees. after reading some
severe structure upon his character in one of
the newspapers exclaim ed, Am Abraham
Lincoln or. am I dog?' ~ ss
. We trust that the natural philosophers of
Doodledom will make haste to assist their
m aster in the solution of this open question.
It is one which involves not only his own
status, but the classification of the entire race
of which he is the representative, dog aor
man as the case may be- They have de-
liberately elected as their Chief Magistrate
a nopdescript, who is himself unable to de-
eide whether be is a man or dog ~Posteri-
ty, judging them by their actions, will news
er believe that either Abraham or his fol-
lowers were men. But it does not follow
that because they are not entitled to the
name o men they are dogs. We should be
10th to do such injustice to those American
citizens of canine descent whom nature has
denied the means of defending themselves
from the imputation implied in the, inquiry
Am Abraham Lircoln or am I dogY
Abraham is certainly not a dog-at. all
events, not dog of the higher classes. He
is no dog of st. Bernard or Newfoundland
for his instincts are destructive, not,eenservs
ative, and his manners lack tho, MAJESTIC
dignity and repose of those benevolent and
N agu animous creatures. He is not a BULL
dog nor mastiff, for, while he is more fere9
cious than either, he is neither honest nor
brave. He is not shepherds dog. for he
worries and scatters instead of guiding, and
guarding the sheep. He has some of the
vulgar habits of dogs, and like the dog in
the fable, he jumpsinto the stream aftsr9the
shadow of meat, and loses the substance!
But the good sense and affectionateness of
even the lowest order of ours are beyon the
capacity of the Yankee President, On the
whole, we should be inclined to answer the
question, Am 1 Abraham Lincoln or am 1
dog?' you are Abraham Lineoln.-Rich--
