Editor OF the Wy1pains Republican, wa; draf
ted nearly year ago, was never legally dis
charged or excused, and has never report

roming al large. That he would be an ex
celIent subject for ian example," or for
any other scare crow purposes, we have no
doubt. Besides il would not seem so cruel
or unjust TO take this "old offender r'-this
draft sneak Of eleven months standing, as
TO take some poor Devil who has only had

A BLOW from a Knowing One.

Thurlow Weed, who did his full share
in electing Mr. Lincoln, and who thor.
oughly understands the AbolitioA policy,
in note accompanying S50Oin aid of the
poor negroes of New York city, says;
"There is abundant occasion for the
public adherence of mob violence. But
when all the circumstances have been re-
vived, the popular condemnation of those
who, while the nation is struggling for
existence, thrust the unoffending negro
forward as target for infuriated mobs,
will become general and emphatic. Ultra
Abolitionists were hailed in South Caro-
lima as the 'best friends" of Secession.
Practically they are worst enemies of the
colored man. But for the "malign infu-
encs" of these howling Abolitionists, in
Congress and with the President, rebel
lion would not in the beginning have as
sumed such formidable proportions; nor,
in its progress, would the North have
