Abuse oCtbe President.

When the acts If the President are in
full accord with the Abolition programme,
the radicals are fierce to dennunce as vilsst
treason and most malignant "Copperhead-
ism" every criticism Of the acts of the 40
mistration. But when the President dares
TO refuse the demaL DIS Of the radicals, as in
the case Of General Schufeld. they came
down Oh him with venom absolutely ter
rife.
Here is what an infueEtial Abolition
organ OF St Louis says:

Similar in tone and temper is :he m
ments Of a large portion Of the Abolition
press.
The cnndrct Of these radicals reminds
US of the heather worshippers who would
whip their idols without mercy when thy
chose to. but would visit torture and death
on any one else who committed such eacri>
lege.
The Aholitionists berats the President
until lie espouses their views, and the n
hold him up to popular reverence as being
too Immaculate and magistrate too august
for people to cri,icise.

Quota.

The quota of Will county. under the late
call Of the President for 100000 meu, has
not been made public, but it is thought will
not exceed 800. VIII county las already
furnished over 1000 men, There is no
county in the State that has furnished
more in proportion to the number of popu-
lation.
However, az there is buta little more
than a month TO procure volunteers before
the draft is ordered to be made, it is high
tine that our Provost Marsh al should make
pullIc the exact number required from the
| county, that the peul L. of the several towns
! may know what they must meet.
We have heard it whispered that J,liet,

The Prospect,

We are not accustomed to gloomy fore

iujulging in a slight vein in that direction 1
on the prefent occasions.
The war has TASTED row nearly three
years, and the rebellion iaspo nearer being
put down than it was at t5ecommencement.
Millions Of treasure has been expended
and hundreds OfthOusands of precious lives
have been sacrificed, bot the fruits are bar
rem so far as conquering peace and res.
tOring the Union are concerned. Indeed,
the rebels ore more determined AID defiant
to-day than they were three years ago.
And we'll they may be for the policy rur-
sued by the Administration has been cel-
cuIated to strengthen their arms and OK
aspernte them to deeds of desperation.

it has weakened end devided the North.
