WHAT ABOL1TrON1sM INTENDS.

Commenting upon the "reconstruc-
ton" vagaries of the Tribune and its
abolition fellows, the New York Herald
truthfully remarks:
"The radical platform foreshadowed by
Greeley is only the article in the rough,
and disguised as much as possible under
general terms. The structure, in its
perfect and finished form, has 3een ex.
hibited by Wendell Phillips, who blurt-
ed out prematurely what they knew; and
though some of the keener and craftier
politicians regret the exposure OF the
programme they cannot get rid of the
fact, The awkward attempts to get
round it only fix it the more steadily in
the public mind. That programme is
not only to abolish slavery, but to de-
stroy the white race of the south root and
branch; to make the country q waste
bowling wilderness; to give the land to
the negroes in reward for the massacre
of tbe old men, the women and the chill.
dren who now inhabit it; then to send
colonies of white men from the north tc
settle among the negroes, amalgamat'
with them and beget hybrid breed, th
result of which would be the destruction
of both races. Such is the hopeful pic
ture of "what VIII be-" vas presented b.
the New England leader of the radica
faction which controls the war depart
ment, the navy department and the trea
sury department of the administration.

"WHATsOEVER A MAN SOWS,

Lincoln's Administration has produc.

springing up everywhere like noxious

plentlfully.
A number of years ago, during the

Connecticut, politics ran high, a half

BE Loyal 10 the Administration.

The Brough party claim that the peo-
pie shall be Loyal to the Administration.
There is no loyalty due from the people
to the Administration, but it is due from
the administration to the people. The
people are the sovereign power and the
Office holders are the servants. If the
people are the servants. and owe loyalty
to the office holders, then change their
names and call them Kings and Lords.
Never, since the Government began, did
any set of men attempt to exercise such
tyranny and deSpotism over the people
as the Abolition leaders are attempting
to exercise in this campaign; and unles'
the people will vote them down and dem
onstrate their determination to maintain
law and order, civil war, or most in
sufferable despotlsm, will be the inevita
BILE result. Now, our liberties may b'
maintained peaceably through the ballo
box; but unless the growing rampan
despotism Of the party in power is check

quences will follow. U.

"War Democrats" AbOIitiOnists
in Disguise.

A small knot of sorehesds calling
themselves "War Democrats" got to.
gether in this city on the 22d Of Septem.
ber, and adopted series Of resolutions
and an address to the Democracy of
Ohio" They made no nominations Of
candidates, nor directly approve of any
that had been made. They denounced
Vallandigham in the address, and some
Of them wanted to adopt resolution
endorsing Brough, but it could not be
got through. The open and frank expo.

mocracy'and aid in the election Of the
Abolition ticket, waSjudged by the more
prudent among them not to the polite;
it would upset their scheme Of playing
into the hands Of the Aboltionists, and
inveigling Democrats into the support
of the radical Disunion ticket.
These "War Democrats" are Aboli-
tionists in disguise-wolves in sheep;
clothing-radical donkeys who affect to
bray in the iop's skin Of jackson and

special pains to prove that when the Re-

ence he was Democrat. What does
all this mean ? 1t means that in the
opinion Of John Brough the Democratic
party was right, and the Wing and Re-
publican parties were wroug-that the
Democratic party, at the end of the war,
will be the party of the country, and
therefore he will go back to them and
that the so.called Union party will end
with the war. Honest men can save
