~It is both interesting and curious
to see bow friendly the cops are towards
the destructive abolitionists just now
They have one thing in common, and
that is deep seated hatred towards Ne
Lincoln and his supporters, and the pre-
tense for that hatred is the same with
both. Il matters not to them that they
differ a. widely as tho poles. Mr.. Lin
coin stands between them and has to take
the blows from both. Thank the Lord,
his shoulders are broad, aud he has the
moral courage to stand up and do what
he believes to DO right in spite of both
wings Of his opponents.
We frequently see, in the coppery pa.
pers, extracts from the ultra German pa
pers. Perhaps it would not be iuappro-
pirate to term them Red Republican pa
pers. A few Of these German papers are
opposing Mr.. Lincoln because he does
not turn out every officer who does not
come up to their mark, in opposition to
slavery. It matters not to them that the
course pursued is working out the aboli.
ton Of slavery as surely aud much more
peacefully than would the course desired
by them. They demand that their every
wish shall be needed or they threaten
dire vengeance upon the powers that be.
We cannot help thinking that it is lit
tie curious that these model reformers
had not the courage or tact to remain
and reform the evils of the countries
whence they came. Have the circum-
stances Of their birth aud education quail
fled them to sit in judgment upon and
direct our government? Modesty is
virtue with which they are unacquainted.
On the other hand the cops are oppos-
not use all the power necessary, and pre-
serve the system of slavery in all its i'm.
purity The administration did do that
very thing for near two years, and what
was the result? The Union forces had
gained but little if any upon the rebels.
Every thing was done that could be
done, and more than ought to have been,
to preserve slavery. We were fighting
the rebels with one hand, while with the
other we protected the shareholders in
their ancient rights. The cops were
anxious to have US continue that system
for they saw that the Union forces would
never succeed, and they would be enabled
to get the power this year and then they
could fix up an arrangement by which
the Northern States would all 60 into the
socalled coufederacy. All except the
New England States. They were to be
left out you know. (Sce resolutions O.
Cedar county cops, January 1869
Fortunately the President was not o
their way Of thinking. He wanted t
close the war and save all the States t.
the old Union. To do this he let go O
slavery and now it is falling Of its owl
rottenness and corruption. For this tn
President is blamed by them and receive
their direst curses. We think it is SAT
to avoid either extreme in this case.
To show the spirit Of this portion Q
the German press We give an e1trac
from the Boston Pioneer as We find it i
tho Muscatinc Courier,
of the Democratic party no asser
the Monroe doctrine, and adds to it alb
lition of slavery, destruction Of Il
Southern land aristocracy and ECU
rights of the black race, we shall be Il
frst to recognize its superior claims ov
the Republican party It must, NOR
over, be remembered that the support
Mr.. Lincoln, involves tho support Of Il
Blairs, Stewards, Hallecks, &c.
"In one word, we consider the suppo
of Mr.. Lincoln, un1er any circumstance
as the most disastrous policy, as indire
treason against the Republic, and we ho]
that no one, who desires the name of
Radical, will soil his name by participa
ing in such black treachery.'
One would judge that however reat
the "Radicals" and Cops may be to wo
against one man, it will be long tir
before they both work for one man.
Great sticklers for the "Monroe d.
trine" are these, latter day Democra
