PRESIDENTIAL WEAKNESS AND OBsTINA-
cY.-NOthing better illustrates, says the
Boston Courier, the weakness coupled
with Obstinacy that SO prominently char
acterizes President Lincoln, than the way
in which be yielded to radical pressure in
issuing his emancipation proclamation
against his own judgement Gf We can be-
lieve his own wOrds) and the way in
which he now adheres to that fatal mea-
sure when it constitutes the chief obsta'
cIe' 60 tGe 1o1osv4,., --:lo4 OF Union
and peace. 1t is well occasionally to re-
call Mr.. Lincoln's pledges, in the very
words in which they were made to the
people, that all may comprehend the
depth of faithlessness into which his rad
ical allies have precipitated him. In his
Inaugural Address the President says:
81 do but quote from one ofmy speech
es when declared that 4 have no pur-
pose, directly or indirectly, to interfere
with the institution of slavery in the
States where it exists. l believe have no
lawful right to do so, and | have no in
clination to do So Those who nomina-
ted and elected me did so with full knowi-
edge that had made this and many SIM
liar declarations, and have never recanted
them.

HONEST ABE.-We see it stated that
Mr.. Lincoln has declined to receive his
salary in greenbacks for the past year.
That's right The idea of making Hon.
est Abe take his own shinplasters is quite
like making a slanderer eat his own lies.
AS that old farmer rom Illinois said OF
Abraham, he may be none too honest and
be is id smart; he knows greenbacks
won't be worth any more after the next
Presidential election than his own oath is
now, and therefore, he very scnsih3y,Yc-
fuses to receive them,

CoxsIsTENcY.-.The Abolitionists, in one
breath, declare all compromise dishonest,
disgraceful, unmanly and ineffective; in
the next breath, they assure US that they
were willing and anxious to compromise,
but the South refused These consistent
chaps think it patriotic to oppose Dem
ocratic Administration, but treason to op-
pose an Abolition Administration. They
are in favor Of vigorous prosecution Of
the war, but stubbornly refuse to volun-
teer to prosecute it vigorously, Their
actions give the lie to their professions.
Boastful, cowardly, venal and vindictive,
they are following in the footsteps of their
tory ancestors, and endeavoIing to rot
freemen of their liberties, while profess
ing to be the peculiar champions of free
dom.

DIsGRAcEFUL.-The most outrageous
abuses are complained of in the transpor-
ton of troops on the Mississippi. Over
1900 men were recently packed oil sin
gle. transport, with as little regard to
health and comfort, as if it were bearing
so many hogs to market. The horror Of
the situation can scarcely be Imagined
Many Of the men died from heat, filth and
suffocation. Officers, in their comfortable
berths, paid no attention to the complaints
of the privates. A correspondent Of the
Pittsburg Gazette says, "whie the SOL
dicrs were thus crowded and suffering,
officers were having tappy time in the
cabin with loose women from Boston and
New York. Contrabands waited upon
them and wine and song kept up the
mcrriment until the transport reached
Nicksburg. Is it not time for the Secre-
tary Of War to put stop to such dis
graceful proceedings ?"
The mountain Democrat., 1863-10-24

L1BERAL.-Some of the abolition edi-
tors are liberal cusses. One of them is
willing to bestow on his political oppo-
nents his inheritance-prepared for him
from the foundation of the world. lie
is in favor Of "giving the rebels Greek fire
and the copperheads hell-6re."

SAVE TIE CoUNrRY.-A late Washing
ton dispatch says;
"Senselcss alarms are again started in
every direction, about the safety Of Wash.
ington. We.wa more troops here, not
to save the Administration, but to save
the country"
We think it is about time to think OF
saving "thc country" instead Of "the
Administration. Such change in the
programme would go far to save the
country and be welcomed by the people.
II the Administration cannot be saved by
saving the country, let it fall. So far it
has been all for the Administration, and
every man who refused to fall down and
worship it has been classed as traitor.
Supporters of the Administration place it
above the Government and the country,
and to keep it in power, would subvert
the one and desolate the other.

Faets for the People.

The Abolitionists, dreaaing the day Of
settlement, are zealOusly endeavoring to
make the people believe that the South
is responsible for the war, and that the
Democratic party even urged tho South
ern States to secede. This is false. Con-
gressional records prove that Abolition
leaders provoked it and defeated every
proposition to avert it-prove that every
proposition for adjustment and compro-
mise, submitted to Congress, came from
Southern members and received the unan-
imous support of the Democrats. The
Committee of Thirty. three, in the House,
was appointed on motion of member
from Virginia. In the Senate, the Com
mittee of Thirteen was proposed by a
Senator from Kentucky, (Mr. PowelD;
and the Crittenden propositions were OF,
fered by the late venerable Senator from
Kentucky whose name they bear. The
Border State propositions were drawn up
by Southern member and submitted by
another, and sanctioned by all; yet all
these propositionsj just and honorable and
humane, were rejected by the almost
unanimous vote of the Republicans in the
Senate and the House. They insisted on
rigid adherence to the creed of the Chi
cago Platform. They did not want the
difficulty amicably adjusted; they wanted
to get the control Of the Senate, and they
could only do so by forcing the Southern
Senators to secede. To preserve their
party and keep it in power they deemed it
necessary to plunge the country into a
lamentable war, and they, therefore, rcck-
lessly and vindictively defeated all over
lures for peace. The Crittenden PROPOSE
tions, satisfactory not only to the true
Union men everywhere, but acceptable
even to the extremists of the South, new
er received one solitary vote from the Re-
publican party in either house. War,not
peace was what they wanted and what
they deliberately provoked. "For parti-
san reasons" they would listen to no
terms Of compromise. The Republican
organs, with single exception, declared
their deadly hostility to all compromises,
and the Republican party indorscd their
language. In the Peace Congress the
Republicans voted down every measure Of
Cancellation, and refused to let the people
be heard. They deemed it their first and
highest duty to stand by and on the Chi
cago Platform. But it was not Congress
alone that suffered its independence to be
crushed by the Chicago Platform, or used
that miserable structure "to shut the
gates of mercy on mankind" President
Lincoln, in his inaugural, declared it a
law to him, and placed it before the Con-
stitution, insisting upon preceding his Of
fetal oath by declaration Of fidelity to
it. His weakness and narrownesS, con-
stituted the strength of the predominant
faction in Congress and history will just
ly throw the guilt Of the present state of
affairs upon the radicals and fanatics Of
the Republican party.
