MS LNCoLN.-He, who is a true patriot
Will never give up any portion Of his count
", even % secure the abolition Of slavery.
To 70 for our country, is % 20 for her chos-
en- form OF goyernment-fOr her constitution
not to prate for it, or to affect regard for
It, for the very urpose Of aid n the enemy but
to favor it for its great principles of justice,
liberty and equality But the most effective
way 10 20 for our country is to 20 against
her enemies We must stand by the govern
ment Not to stand by the government is
not 20 stand by the country. The govern
ment represents the country, and it is repre-
sentkd Nv strong, pure and patriotic men.
The President, for whom did not vote, Is
pure and intelligent man. Washington al
ways excepted, We never had 4 President
ml.e 10 fe h0nored AMI more 10 be loved
than ABRAHAM Lincoln. Whatever is pro-
slavery in his character is the result OF early
education-fOr which no man Is accountable
Hou may not have detected this defect. The
eSi!ence have found in is recent retalia-
tory proclamation. In that proclamation
he says For every Union soldier taken and
sold int) slavery, one Rebel prisoner shall DO
put 70 compulsory labor on the public works
But this j, no due Offset. for compulsory
labor is not slavery The minor and sppren-
Ice are subject u compulsory labor. The
great calamity OF the slave Is that he is de-
prived Of the protection Of law. and thrust
down to the level Of the brute. But man
rput TO compulsory labor on the public works
Is still under the protection Of law. How
could the President have fallen into such
mistake? For every Federal soldier sold into
slavery, at least a thousand Rebels should
be put TO compulsory labor. to render the re-
taliation equivalent.
But said we must stand by the govern
ment.-The man who SAYS the government
has changed the purpose of the war, uttersa
wicked SANDER. No wonder there are mobs
when men in high positions utter the slam
der that the war is now waged TO abolish
slavery The object of the war is to secure
the unconditional submission of the rebels
without armistice or terms 10 buy them
of by concessions would dishonor the nation.

TINE AND LOVE:
AN ALLEGoRY.
nY lOHN G. sAXE.


Old Tmeani young Love, on a morning in May
Chanced to meet by river in halcyon westh
er,
And agreeing, for once. ('tis fable, you'll say
IN the same little boat msde a voyage together
Strong. steady and patient, Time pulled at hi
And swift DER the water tie voyagers 60;
But Love-who was thinking Of Pleasure OIL
Complained that his boatman was wrctohedll
slow.
But Time, the old sailor. expert at his trade,
And knowing the leagues that renamed 10 %
done.
Contep; with the regular speed that he made,
Tugged away at his car snd kept steadily on
Love. aIwavs impatient Of doubt or DELAY,
Now sighed for the aid of the favoring gales,
An scclde,i At Time IN the s1uciest way,
For lot having furnished the shallop with
sails
But Time, As serene as calendar saint,
(Whatever the gray beard was thinking upon)
Al "a to the voice of the younker's complaint,
Tuggei away at his oar and kept steadily on.
Love, yexel at the heart, only clamored the
more.
And cried, " Gy the gods in what country
or cline
Vac ever lubber who handled an oar
In So lazy a fashion as old Father Time 80
But Time only smiled in = cynical way,
cts often the mode with your elderly Dom
As one who knows more than he cares TO dis
play
And still at HE car pulled steadily on.
Grown cslmer, At last, the exuberant boy
Enlivens the minutes with snatches of rhyme;
The voyage, at length, be begins to enjoy.
And soon has forgotten the presence Of Time
But Time. the severe, egotistical elf,
Since the day that his travels he entered upon,
Has ne'er for moment forgotten himself,
But tugs at his oar and keeps steadily on.
Awaking, once more, Love sees with sigh
That the River Of Life will be presently passed,
And now be breaks forth with piteous cry,
30 Time, gentle Time you are rowing too
fast 80
But Time, well-kuoWing that Love viii be dead,
i'ead-dead in the boat ere the voyage is
done,
Only gives him an ominous shake Of the hand,
While he tugs at his oar and keeps steadily
on

traordinary proclamaton We shall take the
liberty to state to your Exce1ency, plainly, our
sentiments on this subject. We consider your
proclamation as gross insult to the officers and
soldiers in service, inssmuch as it implies that
they are SO ignorant of their rights as to believe
that you have authority TO command them in
their present situation, or so abandoned as to
follow your insidious advice. We cannot regard
your proclamation in any other light, than as
an unwarrantable stretch Of executive authority,
issued from the worst motives to effect the basest
purposes. II is, in our opinion, n renewed in
stance of that spirit of disorgan zation and az
arcby which is carried on by faction to over
whelm our country with ruin and disgrace. We
cannot perceive what other object your EIcellen-
cy could have in view than 10 embarrass the op-
erations OF the army, 10 excite Iautiny and se1i-
ton among the soldiers and to induce them to
desert, that they might forfeit the wages to
which they are entitled for their patriotic SER
vices
We have however the satisfaction 70 inform
your Excellency, that although your proclama-
tons have been distributed among the solliers
by your agent delegated for that purpose, they
have failed to produce the intended eiIeet-and
although it may appear incredible to your Ex-
cellency eren soldiers, have discernment sutfi-
cient to perceive that the prOclama ton of Gov
ernor when offered out Of the line Of his duty,
is harmless, inoffensive and nugafory docu-
ment They regard it with mingled emotions of
pity and contempt for its author, and as a strk-
ing monument Of his folly
Before we conclude, we feel ourselves in JUS
tice TO your Exceliency, bound TO declare that
knowledge of your Excelency's character in
duces US to believe, that the folly and infimy Of
the proclamation which your Excellency has PIT
your signature Is not wholly to be ascribed TO
your Excelleucy, but chiefly to the evil advisers.
with whom we believe your Excellency is en-
compassed.
We are with due respect your Exeelleney's
Obeiicut servants,

We have looked up in the files Of the
Northern Cenfinei the Proclamation of Go
vernon Chittenden and the Reply-and re.
produce them in our columns as chapter of
History specially interesting and profitable
to study at this present time.
The people whole, and the yeomen
soldiers who are part of the people, are not
lesscertain to take the side of the Government
in all Issues that concern the existence and
honor of the nation, today. than they were
fifty years ago. Gov Seymour can call home
the New York Militia, and he can " call
spirits from the Vastly deep" The question
is would they come when they are called ?
1t strikes us that the generals in our armies
would have something to say about that
that the troops would move towards home
when they sent them and MT beforehand
that the response from the soldiers would be
similar to tnat Of the Green Mountain boys
Of the last generation.

y SINGULAR CONcIDEScE.-Schuyler Col
fax. in an obituary notice of the late John
ID. Campbell, Superintendent ofthe Michigan
Southern and Northern Indiana railroad,
mentions the following remarkable incident.
Mr.. Colfax is n director of the company:
Last year, talking with him over the
gloomy condition of the road when we had
both entered upon its service, with its stock
scllin. at six cents on the dollar, its laborers
unpaid for nearly halfa year, its credit ut
tcrly gone and two millions Of floating debt
crushing it apparently, he spoke of the labor
he had given to it, and added The road is
now about out of debt. and when can give
its long-suffering stockholders dividend,
intend to retire lie repeated this ocular
ly this spring, when we met him with his
wife on the cars, on one Of our hurried visits
home. The first dividend for many years on
the stock of the road was paid on Saturday,
August lst, at its Office in New York. And
on that very morning Mr.. Campbell surren
dered his trust to higher power than the
president or directors. y
