The ABOLITION CLERGY TRYING TO
MAKE LINCOLN AN ABSOLUTE Mon
ARcH.-The Rev. DR.. Bellows, of New
York, went into politics some time af-
ter Beecher, but he is progressing fast.
He is now more violent and despica-
BILE Abolitionist even than the latter.
In late ''sermon" he advocated the
doctrine that Lincoln possessed pre-
negatives that made him an absolute
monarch. He said: r7s 4.
"The head of a nation Is a sacred
person, representing, for the time he
holds his Office, the most valuable and
solemn rights and duties of a people.
The Government is upon his shoul>
der, and the Government is the
mighty pillar that fastens in order and
holds to safety the ten thousand va
rying interests, rights and obligations
of a nation. He can truly say with
Louis XIV: sThe State--it is I. Dis
honor me, and you disgrace the na-
ton! Weaken me, and you under
mine the country"
That is the true Abolition ideal

the people, but they are his slaves and

GENERAL BANKS NOT SENT TO En-
FORCE TIE LAws.--It seems that Gen,
eral Banks has disappointed many who
thought he would enforce, or at least
permit the enforcement of the fugitive
slave law in that part of Louisiana ex-
empted by the Presidents proclamation
of January l, from the operation of
his emancipation decree. But they
were mistaken. General Banks is not
sent to Louisiana to enforce the laws,
or to see that they are enforced even
in loyal districts--at all events, not
such laws as the Abolition oligarchy
do not approve of. The Fugitive Slave
law is one of these, and though a law
of the United States, is not to be enfor-
ced even in slave State. Yet the
profered object of calling our soldiers
into the field and involving the coun-
try in an enormous expense, was to en-
force the Federal laws. - ..

During the Abolition Reign of Ter
ror last year and the year before, it
was q common thing for some of the
more reckless and cowardly portion of
the Abolitionists when threatening
and insulting Democrats, to say: 'just
wait till the soldiers come back from
war, and you'll be attended to- inn
plying thereby that the soldiers would
mob Democrats and destroy their pro-
perty, just to please the Abolitionists.
The men who made these threats, had
but little knowledge of the character
and feelings of the soldiers--the great
body Of whom are honorable, intelli-
gent, high minded men, and neither
mobocrats nor Abolit;onists. The
soldiers, whatever may have been their
political sentiments when they volun-
tecred, are now, almost to a man, as
bitterly opposed to Abolition as they
are to Secession, and would this mo.
ment as willingly shoot down one as
the other. When we say this we
speak by the book" We have seen
any number of letters from soldiers in
the army, all of whom speak the same
sentiments of hostility to the Aboli-
tionists and their nefarious and uncon-
,stitutional schemes. From a letter
before us, written by an officer of the
Army of the Potomac, who is well
known and highly respected in this
community, we are permitted to make
the following significant extract:
"a man that talks much nigger TO
the soldiers when they come home had
better make his peace with God, and
all mankind, for funerals will be made
of all SUCH"
We might make other extracts Of
like character, but let the above suffice
for the present. But "a wink is as
good as a nod to a blind horse" - Mt.
Vernon Banner. f
