Taking Care OF His Friends.

The principal reason assigned by the Pres-
dent Tor approving the West Virginia bill was,
that 'he intended to take care OF his friends"
1t is precisely this idea of the President that
has accomplished the ruin of the Government.
Fanatics have been whining since no was in
augu rated that he was overlooking the claims
Of his friends, and listening to Democratic
and conservative counsels. They reminded
him that he was indebted to their efforts for
his election, aud impudently quoted the ad
age that to the victors belong the spoils.--
They so pestorcd and worried the lank, nerve
less, almost brainlcss. and vacllatng old
man. that his ideas of right aud wrong be-
came confused, and his judgement Gal ways
weak) paralyzcd. lie now babbes the les
sons they have taught him, in justification OF
his action npon the most important affairs OF
state. Tho approval OF a bill admitting a
new State, torn by convulsion and fraud from
an old ono, without shadow OF right or au-
thority, and in open and palpable defiance OF
constitutional prohibition, is justified upon
the ground Of obligations OF friondshipl 1t is
difficult. indeed, to believe that so foolish an
old Joker can be a knave.

1t is disputed that Mr.. CRIrcmrIELD used
the above language. But it is a matter Of in.
difference whether he did or not since every
person believes it to be true. 1t is admitted
on all hands that jeff Davis is traiter And
why is he onel Simply because he is seeking
the overthrow of the Constitution and tram
ping upon the laws. That is what makes him
a traitor; Abe Lincoln is disr garding tho
Constitution, trampling upon the laws and
that makes him a traitor also. IF we must
have treason at the national capital the pco-
pie may become so wcaricd with it as to be.
come Indifferent as to who the traitor may be.

ever countenancing dsloyalty or rebellion,
and in this case it will be an everlasting honor
to him that the abolition traitors in the Ohio
Legislature refused him a common courtesy.

or Alabama would have used him in the same
way il an opportunity had presented itself.

Dcnouncing Traitors.

II has been frequent cause OF complaint
with abolition journals that the Democratic
press dcnounccs the Administration, but has
no ccnsure to pass upon the rebels. This sill
ly Ialschood has been so industriously circu-
lated that II is perhaps worth noticing. When
the astutc editors making the complaint will
suggos. possible benefit that may arise from
the imprecation Of the rcbcls we will do
what we can to properly set their evil prac
tces before the people. At present tho
crimes OF sccessionism are fully confessed by
all parties. But the follies and crimes of the
Administration arc justified and extenuatcd
Cor sought to beg by its partisan journals -
We cannot reach the rebels, but we can reach
Aboltionsm and the Administration. Be-
lieving that the war as at present conducted
is, upon our part as well as upon the part OF
the scccssio nists, war upon the Constitution
and Union, and will end in our defeat and the
destruction of the Government, VIC attack the
Administration and its policy. II the attack
is unjustifablc, let it be made manifest, mot
by abuse and vituperation, but by placing
fairly before Tho people the facts, and reasons
springing from them, showing it to wanton
attack.
The indictment against the Administration
was drawn by the Abolition press, the proof
was abundant aud irrcfutablc, and upon it the
people passed sentence. The sentence is

We ere asked to stand by the Admin istration,

We turn this system of tactics over to the
Abolition press. They will find in the rebel
sheets precisely the same style OF composition

their charitable and christian jud gcments,-
Meanwhile, to stop for season the complaint
that we do not denounce the rebels, we here
record, as our deliberate judgement that sc>

litionism. This denunciation shonld satisfy

Governor Lctchcr's Message 10
the virginia Legislature.

The following synopsis of the annual
message Of Gov. LETcnrR, of Virginia, l.
given by telegraph:
Gov. Letcher's annual message to the
Nirginio Legislature was ready yesterday.
1t is seven columns long. In relation to
the division of tho State by Congress. he
says Western Virginia must necessarily
be free territory. 1t cannot be supposed
that in any treaty Of peace that may be
agreed upon Virginia will ever recognize
a division of her territory, or even con-
sent to treaty that will strip her of any
portion of her demain.
1t is better that this war should contin-
tie for an indefinite period than that Vir.
ginia shall be oven partially dismembered
He accuses the north with vandalism
without parallel in the history of warfare
and reiterates long list of indignities, :
outragcs and wanton destruction. He
estimates the balance in the Treasury, Oc-
tober 1st at 81 ,434 900; total paid for
the war, $7337,0
He advises that all free negroes now
resident in the portion of the State over.
run by the enemy be removed and put at
work on the Notifications, as they have
in their power to tampcr with the slaves.
The proclamation giving freedom to
all rebellious States, inAicts fatal though
indirect blow. lie says the saddest fact
of the proclamation will be to fire the
whole South in one burning mass of in
oxt'nguishable hate, and destroy all hope
of restoring the Union, which is only fea-
sible by adhering to tho Constitution as it
was. And further, that the most alarm
ing aspect of the proclamation is the usur.
patton of the powers of the Government
by the President under the plea Of militia
ry necessity He advises the Legislature
to place on record their protest against
the proclamation.

The Ab0IitiOnistS and the Weak
knccd Democrats vs.. Attorney
General CritclaiiclA,

The Abolitionists are denouncing At
torney General Critchfed on account of
speech made at the Sth of January ban
quet at Columbus; and few weak kneed
Dem ocrats in the Senate were foolish e.
nough to countenance their denunciations
OF him in the discussion Of the resolution
to inform him of his election
We are unable to see anything either
reasonable or Objectionable in the re-
marks of the Attorney. General. He is
reported to have said that "if President
Lincoln continued to disregard the Con
stitution, trample upon the laws, and
usurp tyrannical powers, the time would
come when the people Of the loyal States
would be Indifferent as to whether Jeff Da-
Wis or Abraham Lincoln was in Washing
ton" That is what all the clam or against
Mr.. Critchfeld grew out Of. For telling
such palpable truth the Abolition Sen
ate refused him the usual compliment of a
committee to inform him of his election.
The meaning of the Attorney Generals
language is too plain to be mistaken for
a di'loyal ut'e-a1 ed 1t is clearly eviden o,
that he meant to convey the idea that jeff.
Davis, by his rebellion against the Con-
sttution and his treason, has rendered
himself entirely unfit to occupy the chair
of the president; and that, unless Lincoln
desisted from his encroachments Of the
Constitution, and his high handed usur-
pations. he would soon be as unworthy
Of the Presidency as Davis. That was
certainly his meaning. And it is solemn
truth.
We are sorry that Democrats allowed
themselves to be frightened by the dcnun-
Citations Of tho Abolitionists into using
apologize language. An apology was
not necessary, and even if it were. there
was no reason for apologzing to the I'M
principed Abolitionists Of the Ohio Sen
ate. In our opinion Matis getting rather

There are about four millions of slaves in
the rcbcllious States of the South. These, at
the exceedingly low average value of $500
per head, would amount to twelve hundred
millions Of dollars. 1t must be rccollected
that slaves arc property, and have been con-
sidercd property ever since, and indeed be-
fore, the foundations Of the government were
laid. Both the President and the present
Congress have recognized slaves as property
in the localities where the institution was toll
Grated. They have recognized it in the Dis
trict ofColumha, and paid for it; they rccog
nize it in all the loyal slave States for the
purpose of paying for it under compensated
emancipation act; and they recognize it in all
the disloyal States for .hc purposes OF cman-
cipation and coniiscation. Conservative men
never did deny that slaves were property
Abolitionists once did deny it, but we have
show that they do not now deny it, but on the
contrary, that they have openly and publicly
admitted it, and placed the admission on rec
ord. The preiminaries being settled, wo dc
sire to ask, Is there any man in his SO Der
senses who is so silly as to believe, or ought
there to be any so dishonest as to assert, that
the wise and prudent framess of the constiu-
ton we're so fond of the one man power as to
place it either within the civil or military au.
thrifty OF the President to ''proclaim" away
twelve hundred millions Of dollars' worth Of
private property
But one honest answer can be given to the
question, and that answer brands ABRAHAM
LINCOLN as an usurper.

An Abolition War.

Thousands and tens of thousands o
mon in the North, have believed from the
that the controllers of the Lin
coin administration have always intended
to convert it into an Abolition war. The
Presidents Emancipation Proclamation,
will make hundreds of thousand of con
verts to this doctrine. The measure is
either illusory or revolutionary. How
are tho slaves to be insured their freedom
after the war is over, except by blotting
ont the rights of the States? This very
day, Ohio has the right to establish sla-
very within hcr borders if the people have
the wish to do so. Are tho rights of the
Southern States to bo less thsn those OF
the Northern? This must bo the inten
ton of Lincoln, or perpetual freedom is
u fraud upon the negroes whom he is
striving by false promises to incite to
deeds of awlessness toward their masters.
In our war with England, we held that
civilized warfare would not allow inter
ference with slaves. John Quincy Adams
argued this point, and Great Britain
yiolded.-Newark Adpocate.
