In one breath Abolitionists say the Democrats
are disunionists, and in the next they assert
that Democrats are anxious for reunion to gain
Southern votes. They don't see the inconsis-
tetcy of these assertions, but they show to the
world that they are dsunionists, on the very
ground that they fear the Democratic party
may be strengthened by the restoration. The
Whole conduct of the war, and the course Of
th' Abolition press and speakers have shown
that they care more to make reunion impossi-
bla than otherwise, DernOcratic votes are their
bugaboo -EE.

led each by q deputy provost marshal, each sub
ject to the Provost Marshal General at WASH
ington, and all appointed by, and responsible to
the President. That in certain cases there may
be an appeal to the civil tribunals, does not in
the least impair that military power which, by
its very nature, must be supreme wherever it
exists. All this is utterly without warrant and
is wholly incompatible with the existence of free
government 1t is an exaggerated copy Of the
military organization under which despotism
reigns in Russia and France--nay, ait infinitely
transcends the latter. In this country, under
this act, the extent Of the CONSUMPTION is limited
only by the will Of the President, whereas, in
France the consciipts are divided into classes,
and only a certain number can betake1in each
year. Even the first Napoleon, on hissretum
from Waterloo, found his demand on. the Senate
refused for anticipation of conscription,n The

President Lincoln as Il Military Man

The following is an extract from a speech
delivered Mr.. Lincoln in Congress, when
he was member from Illinois:
"By the way, Mr.. Speaker, did you
know that I am a military hero? Yes,
sir, in the days of the Black Hawk war, l
fought, bled and came away. Speaking
of General Cass' career, reminds me OF
my own. was not at Stillman's defeat,
but was about as near as Cass was to
Hulls surrender; and like him, | saw the
place soon afterwards. 1t is quite certain
that l did not break my sword, for | had
none to break, but l bent musket pretty
badly on one occasion. If Cass broke his
sword, the idea is, he broke it in despera-
ton; l bent the musket by accident. If
Gen. Cass went in advance of me in pick
ing whortleberries, CUES I surpassed him
in charges upon the wild onions. If he
saw any live fighting Indians, it was more
than 1 did, but had good many bloody
struggles with the mosquitoes; and al
though never tainted from loss of blood,
can truly say was often very hungry.
''Mr. Speaker, if 1 should ever conclude
to doff whatever our Democratic friends
may suppose there is of black cockade
Federalism about me, and thereupon, they
shall take me up as their candidate for the
Presidency, I protest they shall not make
fun of me, as they have of General Cass,
by attempting to write me into a military
hero"

wives, were not model specimens of eau
casian civilization, but shrewd Adventures.
or lewd fellows of the baser sort. who. by
example corrupt the red man and make
him more earthly, sensual, and devilsh.
Now, sir, in concluding this already too
long letter, written by one who has never
seen you, on the spur of the moment, after
reading report OF the debate on the Sen
ate Bill to indemnify the frontier people of
Minnesota for their losses, let me urge that
the Committee of Indian Affairs, of which
you are an active member, crown the work
so well begun, by using their influence to
have law passed, authorizing the Pres-
dent or Secretary of the Interior to APP
point three or four persons, men acquaint-
ed with the history of society and the hui
man race, farremoved from all connection
with the Indian trade or local politics of
the extreme frontier settlements, men, for
instance, like George Bancroft, the elo-
quent historian, or Robert J. Walker, the
late Secretary of Treasury, or Bishop Grace
of the Roman Catholic, or Bishop Whipple
of the Episcopal branch of the church in
Minnesota, whose duty it should be to vi
sit the tribes of Minnesota, examine the
effects of our whole Indian system, obtain
the opinion of intelligent traders and mis-
sionaries, and then prepare report for the
next Congress, on the measures necessary
in their judgment for the safe removal Of
the hostile bands from the vicinity of white
settlements, and regulations which will
hereafter protect them from the greed of
the white man, and also domesticate and
civilize.
If some such policy was inaugurated, it
is believed that, at no distant day, these
wild people would cease to hunt each
other,
$ Wash the war paint from their faces,
Wash the blood stains from their fingers,
Bury their war clubs and their weapons"
With respect, l am your obedient servant
EDW. D. NELL.
