The people (the plain people" as Mr.. Lincoln
derisiveiy calls them } are not hlind. They see
that the Republican party never intended this
war 20 be a war ior the restoration OF the Union;
but. on the contrary, that the leaders of that
party always intended 60 make 70 assume such
features that a restoration OF the Union would
be impossible. IL has been steadily yergiug Ia
that direction. IL has nearly reached that CON
plexion now. Let but the President issue hi.

That PROCLAMATION will make a restoration of the
Union forever impossible. The war has become
simply a war for the abolition of slavery, aud will
bee marked, after the lat OF January by attempted
negro Instructions all over the South, which will
either be qucnched IN rivers OF negro blood, or
else will be attended with horrors TOO awful to
contemplate.

that he had no purpose or intention Of Interfering
