Tho Robubl1con Mass Meeting at spring.
11eld..LincOln's Letter.
1t Is impossible, in reading the Tribune
and other Republican accounts of the late
pewow at Springfield, to avoid the con-
clusion that it was a great failure. The
most reliable accounts we get from such
papers as the St Louis Republican and Al.
ton Democrat, papers proverbially candid
in such things-thsre were not over 25,>
600 people at the great mass meeting,
of whom at least half were women and
children. All confess that not over third
of the ground was covered that was filled
by the Democratic meeting in June, while
at that meeting all were voters. They
came there not knowing but they must
fight for the right to meet and express the
sentiments of freemen, and left their
wives and little ones at home.
The letter of President Lincoln, which
was heralded before hand and was to be
the great feature of the affair, was also a
grievous disappointment. Instead of being
bold, manly enunciation of certain dis
tinctive principles, that were to furnish
the Keynote for the next Presidential
contest, the letter was weak, puerile
and shutting, as all of Lincoln's politica
essays really are. First he scolds those
who find fault with me-" an6 secondly,
he attempts to defend the Emancipation
Proclamation; but can the shrewdest
Philadelphia lawyer tell from what he says
whether he meant by it to emancipate all
the slaves, or simply such as should come
within our lines while the war lasts? The
radical abolItionists say 1t operates as a de-
cree, and from the day it was issued the
shackles fell from every slave, who can
never be re enslaved Others say it is a
mere "war measure" and can operate only
on such slaves as are actually seized by the
military. Which does the President
mean2 So the radicals were disappointed,
for they failed to get the keynote"
Then Gov. Yates had got up the meet
ing expressly to endorse his own admins
tration and the u L. A., which he wants
to arm but the committee on resolutions
reported not a word in favor of Gov. Y,
aud actually gave the L. L. A. a stab by
introducing resolution against "secret
political. combinations in the loyal States F."
Not even the proclamation was endorsed
by the committee, and the only way Gov
Yates and that chart of freedom" got a
mention at all was by Joe Forrest, the
Governors aid, offering the resolutions::on
his own hook John A. Logan, who was
largely advertised, failed to come up, and
poor McClernand was showed off to mis-
cradle little side stand.

There are a great many good men who
conceive it their duty 10 support the war
measures of the Administration" who yet
do not approve them. Such men are Gen.
John A. Logan. Edward Everett, Thurlow
Weed and the Ike. We also find that
Senator Sherman, OF Ohio, the leader of
the Republican party in the last Congress
but one, finds it impossible to sustain the
emancipation proclamation. In a recent
speech at Dayton, Ohio, he said:
"a great deal is said about the Presi
dents Emancipation Proclamation. Ny
idea Of it is that this war would have be en-
prosecuted more successfully if the Presi-
dent had not said anything about the ne
gro" .
The spirit OF abolitionism, of which the
proclamation is the quintessence, is as
revolutionary and reasonable in all its es-
sential elements as secessionism. The one
| feeds on the other, and it would be as alb
surd to attempt to extinguish coniagra-
ton with oil as to extrpate secession with
! aboli,ionism. Both must be wiped out
before there can be permanent peace and
a restored Union.
