The policy Of the Administration seems to
be directed solely in view of the doesriues Of
tie AbOIitiOn.party. The war which was
IA kensibly commenced to restore Che SUI
pfenacy ofahe laws and ID sustain the con-
stituiicn, in siolution Of the flainesl consti
tutiOnal provisions, has been perverted into
. war for negro .emencipation. And the
brave men who volunteered to fight fer the
constitution and the Union, are now com.
PEELED to peril their lives for an entirely
different purpOse--the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of,
Abolition fan; tics, who have appropriated
tOshemselVes oil the good civilsofices--
and the freedom aud. Acknowledgement cf

We kuOWithst We may be denounced as
traitors for the uttersnce OF such senti-
ments, but We care not for, the opinions of
| party, or a set Of meh who have erected
despctism on the ruins Of once glorious
republic, and who are causing our rivers to
run red with the blood of white men, for
the sake Of the elevation of the negro. We
defy any one to produce a word or sem
lance uttered by us, derogatOry of the war
or its policy, so long as it was conducted
for the avowed purpose of the restoration
of the Union as it was. Bot since it has
been converted into a conflict for freedom
Off the negroes end the destruction of our
| rights as freemen, We must confess that We
regard it as a calamity that should be got
rid of as soon as it can be upon honorable
and just terms. 200 r-a.- Ha. Sos 9T..
The most Of our soldiers are brave and
patriotic men; and TO compel them, to fight
for the freedom Of the negroes, calls for
the deepest deDunciation. The fanatical
majority Of Congress trampled upon the
provisions Of the constitution and invested
the negro. with every oatiOnal right enjoy>
cd BY white men. Tbefirst step in the pro
gramme Of negro elevation, was the Exc
cntive decree emancipating four millions Of
slaves. The next, the passage of the con-
scriptiOn law, which makes not the slight.
est difference between white men and ne
groes, and by which the white sol diel will
be forced into the ranks, touching elbows

Since the Inauguration Of the presen,
Abolition dynasty, negro ministers from
Hayti and Liberia have been admitted at
Washington on an equality with the d.
plomats of the greatest of civilized nations
Laws for the endowment of colleges and
academies for the education of the blacks
in the District Of Columbia have been pas

Thus all the departments ofthe Govern
ment seems to be devoted to the sir gle idss
Of slsVatiDg the negro. The negro only ID
the object Of sympathy and for his freedom
and elevation to an equality with white
people in all things, this fratricidal war
which is deIugiug the country with blood
/, and filing the homes Of our land with the
i wailings Of widows, and orphans and be
reaved relatives and friends, must be con.
tinued. Ea
4 We firmly believe if the President had
confined himself TO the policy first pro.
claimed and carried on the war for the gu
premacy of the constitution and the laws,
instead Of trampling upon them to please
the fanaticai AbolitiO1isss in their zeal fos
negro emancipation and negro equality,
the rebellion would have been put down
long ago. And our only hope of rssto
ration of the Union now is, that the Presi.
dent may yet forsake the counsels of such
men as Sumner, Beecher, Greeley and
LoVejoy, and abandon bis negro policy
This he must do, if be desires q united
