A Damaglng AdmlssIOn.

An Abolition paper brings forward the
words Of CRiTTENDEN to shield its party
from the high crimes against the Constitu-
ton with which it stands charged. Ii
says: "CRITTENDEN admitted the en-
croachments made upon the Constitution
but they, he said, were minor evils COM
pared with the destruction of the Govern
ment, and, after the war, could be reme-
died. 1t was, he declared, 'the duty Of
freemen first to save the country from the
uplifted sword, and then save the Constitu-
ton" This is damaging admission to
the Abolitionists. 1t is an admission that
they, under the pretence of putting down
rebellion, have themselves been traitors tc
their Constitutional obligations and adj
vises that we put down the first rebellion
and take our chances, after that is done, o
restoring the Constitution by overthrow
ing the Abolitionists. In other words
that it is the duty of ireemen, when thei
liberties and territorial dominion are botl
in jeopardy, to fight for territory first ant
run the risk of winning back their libertie
afterwards. There may possibly be
chance for difference of opinion upoi
this subject Territory may be obtained
by negotiation and purchase, but libertie
once voluntarily surrendered were neve
recovered but by blood.

Get an Elephant.

The Abolition party have got an ele-
phant on their hands. They plunged the
country into bloody civil war for the
purpose of giving freedom to the happy
and contented negroes of the South.
Thousands of them have been induced
and stolen from their homes, and are now
left in helpless and starving condition,
the objects of pity aud dependant upon the
charity of the people for their existence.
The Aoolitionists having brought about
this state of things are terribly perplexed
about providing ways and means" for
the ameliorstion of the "poor unfortu-
mates" The Cleveland Herald proposes
to throw them on the hands of the Gov
ernment to be supported by the taxes paid
by the people. 1t says;
"What shall be done with the contrabands,
that class of persons within our lines, lately
slaves, but now free, is a question, equally ur-
gent petplexing and important. There are
now about one million Of these emaneipated
people seeking employment and support. Is
it "consttulional" for the National Govern
ment to aid them2 1t will not do to quibble
over this and kindred questions Here is a
new state of things, There is no precedent,
The Government must make one. These
people must be subjected to immense suffering,
unless aid can be furnished to an extent i'm
possible to reach by private beneiaetions In
divdual efforts and contributions can do much,
and the efforts of self-moved, and self-organ
lied associations should not be permitted.
The Government must move in this behalf
and lead and guide, organize and systematize
efforts in their behalf 1t might be proper for
Sta'as to move for the relief Of their own suf
fering Door. But in the insurgeDt States
there are no State Governments 70 do il, con
sequently the work is National.
It's matter that appeals forcibly to tbs
Executive and Congress Of the Nation, as vel
as to individual benevoence. 1t ID cast
that admits of no delay. Winter is at th'
door There is suffering and it must be re
lieVed"
And the people are to be made to pa!
still more dearly for the folly Of Abolition
ism. They are to be taxed for the sup
port of millions of negroes who have bee
deprived OF comfortable homes, and lei
without the means of support, pensioner
