We regret to observe that the present Ad-
ministratiOn, and the party IN power, have
drifted away from their promises and pledges
made at-the eomms oemeht Of che present
oeplo:able contests and have adopted sys-
tenn OF measures and practices that aid the
rebels re multiply thsfr numbers, end Pugment

spiiator5 to precipftate the rebellfoS: Tbev
charged that the Constitution, In the hands
OF the santi-slayery. party, would, .sfford no
protection to the South: that the objeet,aof
that party was the destruction of slavery,
ana that they would seek opportunities, that
would afford fprete1ts, to strike at slavery
everywhere. Instead of disproVing this
charge, byta, course, of justice and m odera-
ton, and showing to the Southern people,
and the world, that the charge was false,
and that there was no cause and the strength
OF tne South ern Co1fed eracy, and that it is
necessary ;s4 70 destroy It; and they have adopt
ca a series OF measures designed to accom-
plish this object. a/5gf - ceF,<gJ,f{ III
