TsiE OATH.

When entering upon the discharge of
the duties Of hi office, the President Of
the United States takes upon himself the
following obligation:
Il do soIemnly swear that will faith.
fully execute the Office of President of the
United States, and will, to the best of my
ability, preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution Of the United States"
This oath President Lincoln took upon
himself Has heskept it, or has he violat-
ed it?-peuuring and damning himself,
and destroying our Government.
Has he maintained the freedom of speech
and the press?
The Constitution provides for their
maintenance.
Has he ''heId invIolate the right of the
people to be secure in their persons. hous-
es and effects, against unwarrantable
searches and seizures?"
The Constitution warrants every citizen
this security.
Has he deprived no person of liberty
without due process of law?
The Constitution says he shall not.
HIS he given all persons whom he has
caused to be arrested, "a speedy and pub
lie trial by an impartial jury?"
That right is guaranteed by the Consti-
tuition.
Has he tran ported no person whom he
has caused to be arrested, "out of the
State and District wherein the offense was
committed?"
lie is forbidden to do so, by the Consti
luton.
Has he informed all persons whom he
has caused to be arrested, "of the nature
and cause Of the accusation against them?
He must do 50, under the Constitution.
Has he caused the persons whom he ar
rested TO be confronted with the witness
es against them"
The Constitution commands him to do
30?
These provisions IF the Constitution re-
late merely to the personal liberty Of the
American citizen. Exculpate the Presi-
dent from perjury on these charges, and
there is no lack for others, easily substan-
tiated. But he cannot escape these. Each
and every one of them is susceptible oil
the elearest proof On each and every one
of them, grand jury would be COMPEL
ed, under their oaIhs, to iudict him for
perjury.

1t has been frequent cause of COM
plant with abolition journals that the Dem
ocratic press denounces the administration
but has no censure 20 pass upon rebels.
This silly falsehood has been so industri.
ously circulated that it is perhaps worth
noticing. When the astute editors making
the complaint will suggest possible ben
eft that may arise from the impreea,ion
Of the rebels, we will do what we can to
properly set their evil practices before the
people. AT present the crimes of secession
ism are fully confessed by all parties. But
the follies and crimes of the Admin istra-
ton are justified and extenuated Tor sought
to be by It's partisan Journals. We cannot
reach the rebels, but we can reach Adolf
tionism aud the Administration Believing
that the war. as at present conducted, is
upon our part, as well as upon the part of
the secesslonists. upon the Consti-
tuition and Union, and will end in our de
feat and the destruction of our Government
we attack the Administration and its policy.
If the attack is unjustifiable. let it be made
manllest-nOt by abuse and viluperation
but by placing fairly before the people the
facts, and reasons spriDging from them,
showing it to be a wanton attack.
The indictment against the Admnistra.
ton was drawn by the abolition press, the
proof was abundant and irrefutable, and
upon 1t the people passed sentence The
sentence is sought to be reversed and the
In diciment quashed after a lawful trial has
been had upon it-a proceeding contrary
to all law and precedent. The Administra-
ton defies the law, dehes the Constitution
contemptuous y rejects the plainest die
tates of policy, and. yielding to the guild
ance of abolilionists, is each day preclpita
ting fresh disasters upon the country
Yet we are asked to stand by the Admin
istration, and attack the rebels in news
paper war. We turn this system of tao
ties over to the abolition press. They will
find in the rebel sheets precisely the same
style of composition and argument that
commend themselves TO their charitable
and christian Judgments. Meanwhile, to
stop for season the complaint that we do
not denounce the rebels, we here record,
as our deliberate judgment, that secession
ism is only equaled in infamy by abolition
ism. This denuuciation should satisfy any
reasonable man.-Holmes County on

The President, in his memorable inter
view with the Chicago parsons, said that
he was anxious TO follow the will of God,
if he could know what that will was Since
that time, committees of parsons, promi-
uent among whom are the Reverends Bel
lows aud Cheever of New York, have reg
ularly waited upon him to enlighten him
IS to that will, and the President has re-
ceived them, listened TO them, and to all
appearances, accepted them az ambassadors
of the Almighty. AT any rate he has &C
copied their policy and adopted it as the
policy of his Administration; and it was
in jubilation over this event that the Rev.
Bellows, in All address the other day, ex.
claimed:
alt is no longer war in defense of the
Union, the constitution and the enforce
ment of the laws. 1t is war to be carried
on 10 longer with the aim of re establish

sumo that this is war for the subiuoa-
ton, or the EXTERN nation, Of all persons
who wish to maintain the slave power-a
war to get rid of slavery and Shareholders,
whether it be constitutional or not"
Such, indeed, is the unchrstian, inhu-
man, diabolical character of the war uuder
the new dispensaton. "It is 20 longer a
war in the defense of the Union, the con-
stitution and the enforcement of the laws"
it ''is a war COR the subjugation, or the
determination. of all persons who wish to
maintain the slave power-a war TO get

be constitutional or not
To carry on such war it is certainly

put into the field 1t is a war that should be
fought only by an amalgamated army OF
negroes and aboltionists.-C Chicago Times.

is abundant reason to beieve-the shadow
of coming events as respects the policy of
the administration at Washington, that poll
cy is expressed in an article in that paper
Of Tuesday, from which we quote:
Borrow temporarily. on the best pos

to be paid in at the rate of five millions
per day, with clear understanding that
we are to borrow no more,-that the war
is to be finished with this amount, and

Our financial affairs are getting little
mixed. There are grave fears entertained
by many wise and conservative men, that
the country is on the eve of a financial eX-
plosion, to say nothing of other dangers
which threaten, and which are well calcu-
lated o create alarm and distrust. Gold
is steadily advancing, in other words, pa
per money is steadily and rapidly dePre-
eating in value. More than year ago the
financial articles in the Times predicted
just such slate Of things as Is now expe-
riencrd For exposing the Anglers which
were then ust ahead. and which are now
beginning to be fully realized. we wee
taken to task roundly by anumber of pat
r:otic' contemporaries, who then declared
that legal tender notes could ut depre-
ciate in value, but would remaiL on a par
with gold. To condemn NJ Cases pa
per money scheme was reasonable. But
time changes all things, aid the arguments
of the Times to show mat our paper cur
rency would steadil, depreclate IN value
have been SO fan verified that it now takes
one dollar and fly cents in currency to
buy one dollar i, gold. And we here make
another prediction, viz: that unless the
war is brought to a close before the expi
ration of tn, present year it will take two
dollars in p per money to buy one of gold;
and that our people will be people Of
bankrupts, which will be shared in by the
general government.

SLAVES ARE PRopERTY.--There are about
four millions of slaves In the rebellious
States Of the South. These, at the exceed.
ingly low average value of $500 per head,
would amount to twelve hundred millions
of dollars. 1t must be recolected that
slaves are property, and have been consid-
cred so ever since, and indeed before the
foundations of the government were laid.
Both the President and the present Con-
gress have recognized slaves as property
in the localities where the institution was
tolerated They have recognized it in the
District of Columbia, and paid for it, they
recognize it in all the loyal slave States
for the purpose of paying for it under "A
compensated emancipation act; and they
recognize it in all the disloyal ave States
for the purpose of emancipation end con-
flscaton. Conservative men never did
deny that slaves were property. Adolf
tionists once did deny it, but we have re-
cou nted the acts of the party in power TO
show that they do not now deny it, but on
the contrary, that they have openly and
publicly admitted IL, and placed the ad-
mission on record. The prelimnaries be
ing settled, we desire TO ask: Is there any
man in his sober senses who is So silly as
to believe, or ought there to be any SO dis
honest as to assert, that the wise and pru-
dent trainers Of the constitution were so
fond OF the one man power as to place it
either within the civil or military authori.

twelve hundred million dollars worth of
private property?
