TnK RAGE FOR PRESIDENT LMcoLNs LIKE.
MESS Down SoUrH.-On the first outbreak Of the
war the personalities lavished ON Mr.. Lincoln by
the rebels exhibited degree Of hatred towards
him which it was thought nothing could mol
lify. "Ape," "baboon' and ''oursng outang"
were amongst the mildest of the appellations
applied to him. II Is curious, recollecting all
this, to witness the eagerness which these same
rebels at present manifest to possess themselves
of his likeness. There Is in fact nothing in the
iiRe arts more esteemed in Southern circles just
now than "the counterfeit presentment" of the
man against whom all these ugly epithets were
hurled. Recently one of JEFF. Davis organs,
humilated at the change, worked itself into
quite rage at the statement which appeared
in our columns that one dollar greenbacks were
selling in Richmond for three dollars Confede-
rate currency. 1t appears that we understated
instead of overstated the value set in those laH-
tudes on our Presidents likeness; for we find
it announced in the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph that
greenbacks are now selling there at the rate
of one dollar for eleven dollars in Confederate
currency What ups and downs there are in
this uncertain world.

Crowns IN TBE WATERING PIAcEs.-Accord-
ing TO all accounts the condition OF the fashion
able watering places this year is anything but
comfortable. To be packed like herrings and
stewed like carp may be agreeable to people Of
fashionable tastes: butt is certainly not health
full. Give us the cool brcczrs, roomy quarters
and wholesome fare of the mountain retreats
and farmhouses along the coast In preference
to the crushing, the discomfort the soddcn food
and the impure atmosphere Of the hotels at
these fashionable resorts. by and by people
will arrive al the same sensible conclusions.
Some allowance must, however, be made for
the fact that this Is the reign Of our newly
aedged shoddy aristocracy, and that they must
have some place to show of their freshly pur-
chased diamonds and fine clothes.

even to append their signatures to joint diplo-

missiones to inquire into such charges. II
there are substantial grounds for them they
should be laid before Congress. which will in
vestigate them and punish the guilty parties.
The New York herald., 1863-08-21

The ELEcrIoNs-How THEY OUGHr TO BE
CoNDUCrED.-The only successful mode of con-
ducting the elections against the destructives
who control the present administration is to
combine all the elements of the opposition
upon simple conservative platform, and that
is to be found in the policy of the Union men
Of Kentucky, by which they won the elections
policy which combines hostility TO the admin
istration and its political measures with vigor-
objects proclaimed In the resolution Of the
extra session Of Congress two years ago. 1t
will never do to start TIVE or three organiza-
tions agreeing In opposition to the administra-
ton, but in other respects inimioal to each
other. nor yet two or more organizations diff
fering only rs tweedledum differs from twee-
dledee. oW
By pursuing that policy in 1860 the conserva-
tivcs Of the country, who were in large ma
jority, permitted small minority to elect
President, which was the main cause of all the
misfortunes the republic has since suffered.
The friends of Douglas. finding themselves a
majority in the democratic party insisted on
uso uotuuSsiOh, 1uu- VIC hiudhy hCSCuCyy COu-
trolling the New York delegation at the
Charleston Convention, was so inexorable on
the point that it would listen to no compro-
mise. The friends of Breckinridge were equal
ly uncompromising. fatal split in the party,
with two separate tickets was the consequence;
while another conservative party, that Of Bell
and Everett held aloof from both, and drew
away as many votes as might have elected one
Of the two other conservative tickets. The re-
suit was that the republican candidate, receiv-
ing more votes than any of the other candi-
dates, was constitutioually elected President,
though by million less than majority of the
votes cast. ~ta 5a s M
This ia, perhaps, a serious defect in the con-
stitution; but while it exists it is cogent rea-
son for the union of the majority, if they do not
desire to be governed by the minority. If the
conservatives Of the country are 80 enamored
of the present regime that they want to see it.
continued through the next Presidential term.
then let them start separate organizations-
some as peace democrats, some as war demo-
crats and some as third party-and they will
easily accomplish the desired result shattered
and broken as the party in power now appear
to be. But if they want to become irresistible
they will present united front to the political
foe, and they will stand upon the Kentucky
platform They will assail, with complete sue
cess, tho Emancipation act, the Confiscation act
the Conscription act and the arbitrary arrests
Any party bearing such load Of odinm az
these must break down, il the opposition is only
properly combined against it. The Conscrip-
tion act aloue--more unpopular than the Alien
and Sedition laws sufficient to damn forever
the party Of the administration. What must be
the result when the other obnoxious measures
are piled upon that, like Peiion upon Ossa.
The conservatives have the game in their
own hands, aud must win it, unless thoy permit
selfish leaders to throw it away.

GERRrr SMITH REPUDlArrNG THE RADICALS OF
THE ADMNIsTRArroN-T a recent speech made
BY Gerrit Smith In Oswego that gentleman cuts
the editor Of the New York Tribune, and all the
other abolitionists who insist upon putting down
slavery before restoring the Union. He asks
"Are there abolitionists who say they cannot
help to put down the rebellion unless the gov
ernment will pledge itself to put down slavery.
no sympathy. Like the sham republicans and
sham democrats have referred to, they are but
,corkers for the rebels" Again he says:-"sAre
there, repeat, abolitionists who. in such n
time as this, stand back and refuse to join in
putting down the rebellion save on the con-
dition that slavery shall also be put down.
Then are they also to be numbered with the
enemies Of the country" Mr.. Smith will there
fore find the greatest enemies Of the country in
the Cabinet OF Mr.. Lincoln and in the Tribune
Office.
After declaring in favor of the Union as ii
was and ehe constitution "just as II is," be re-
fers TO Mexico, upon which he remarks, with
justice and force, If our rebellion should sue
oeed, her fate il sealed. II II should fail, then
il may even be that Napoleon's Is sealed"
These extracts show that. after all, Gerrit Smith
is practical statesman, while the visionary
radicals are ever mounting by some "higher
law" to the clouds, in wandering mazes lost
By the course the administration is pursuing, IL
not arrested In its mad career, not only will
the fate Of Mexico be sealed, but the rebellion
viii be successful in the end. and the whole
country, North and South, be involved in IRE
trievable ruin. Already we are menaced by
the intervention OF Napoleon, an eventuality
which is extremely probable from the manner
in which the war Is carried on. But let II be
brought to speedy close by following out the
programme laid down by the President In his
first proclamations, and in the resolution of
Congress passed in August 1861, and soon
Mexico will be an Independent nation once
again, and the French eagles will have to wing
their way from this continent never to return.

Some one-perhaps for wonder it is Secretary
Welles himself-is deserving of much credit for
taking this initiatory step towards providing
necessary comforts for our brave and enduring
naval heroes. The Home will be gratefully
welcomed by the men of the iron-clads. She
will be the means of reducing the sick list Of

crews will be refreshed after stay on board
Of her for day or two, and will return to their

fresh energy.
Mr.. Secretary Welles has multitude Of sins
to answer for; but his action in providing a
Home for our gallant sailors which will be sup
piled with many comforts and a clean, healthy
resting place. with plenty of fresh water to
wash in and cool ice water to drink, will aid IN
removing load OF his mistakes from the memo
ry Of the conliding public, and do much to put
him again on the road to be esteemed, although
Il Is long road for him TO travel. Mr.. Secre-
tary Stanton. of the War Department, who has
even more blunders to atone for than his veners

take hint from him, and busy himself at once
TO provide something Of the same kind for the
brave soldiers who, exposed to all kinds Of
weather in the burning sun and sands Of an
island, are performing deeds Of great vaior.
Mr.. Stanton: why not purchase two or three
car0oes OF ice, lemons, fresh meats and
vegetables, and despatch them Immediately to

energies would be doubled to bring to an end

and would bring both Louis Napoleon and
England to their sober senses.
Let not the administration Hatter itself with
the idea that this supposed Napoleonic plot for
Texas is too wild and visionary for serious be-
lief. What could be more visionary than this
scheme of an Austrian Emperor over Mexico,
under the protection Of French bayonets, and
as q makeweight with Austria and the Pope
for certain other French schemes in regard to
Venice and Rome? There is no distant scheme
of Intervention too wild for the ambition Of
Louis Napoleon SO long as he can by such de-
vices amuse the other great Powers of Europe,
aud, in tickling the vanity Of the French people,
delay the storm which is brewing among them
for his destruction. And 50 we earnestly hope
that no time will be lost by President Lincoln
in taking care of Texas.
