LET US DO OUR DUTY.

We are frequently asked if we endorse
this or that in President Lincoln's past
course, and if we do not, how we can sup
port him for President. Now the truth
compels us to admit that Mr.. Lincoln has
done several things which we do not en-
dorse. For instance, we thought he was
too slow, often we thought his Missouri
policy was wrong we thought he went too
much on those eminent doughfaces, the
Blairs we thought he treated his best and
wisest cabinet officer, Secretary Chase,
wrong, by appointing Frank Blair as Ma
jor General, after he had stood upon the
floor Of Congress and abused that patriot
most shamefully we thought the insult to
Kansas in the appointment of Delahay was
wrong-all this we thought was wrong
! But we have no doubt Mr.. Lincoln thought
he was doing right. We believe his bitter
est enemy will not que stion his honesty of
purpose, The people were for him. 1t is
the duty of every well-Wisher of the couE-
try, in this time of struggle, to lay aside
his personal feelings in the matter, and sup
port the Baltimore ticket. Let us not talk
of the mistakes of the past, but do what
We can TO strengthen and re-elect him.
This we deem oWr duty. Suppose our SOL
diers in the field were as factious as the
friends of the Union seem to be at home.
Suppose those who were opposed to the en-
listment of negroes into the army had laid
down their arms and refused to fight SO
long as the Government adhered to that
policy. Suppose they should lay down
their guns because they cannot have their
favorite General to lead them. While we
are willing to admit Mr.. Lincoln s mistakes,
we must not overlook his merits, and fail
to give Linn credit for the great work he has
accomplished. We must consider the con-
dition of the country when he took the
) reins of Government, and must ask our
selves whether any other man in the nation
could have done better-or indeed whether
any other man could have done as well.
Time may right many of those things which
have been condemned the bitterest. What
may have seemed to us a year ago very bad
policy, may in year from now have the
stamp of our approval as the swisest thing
that could have been done under the cir,
cumstances. Recellect that We must make
some sacrifices of mere opinion.
The platform on which Mr. Lincoln is
running is one that recommends itself to all
The people believe be will carry out the doe
trines and policy of the party if reelected
He is not man that viii betray them. HI
never has done it, and never viii.

The Arguelles Case.

The Spanish Don was an official in the
Government of the Island of Cuba, and US
ed his position as a means of putting money
in his purse. by selling the cargoes of HUI
man beings into slavery, which had been
rescued from the clutches of slaye-traders.
The importation of slaves into Cuba is a
contraband business, and the main duty of
the officials is to suppress it. This worthy
Arguelies, over whose sad fate the tears of
copDerheads are being freely shed, was by
the laws of all civilized nations, an OUTLAW
an enemy of the human race. To claim
that this country is of right an asylum for
all the unhung scoundrels and misereants
who managed to escape from the justice of
their own country, is TO carry the doctrine
of sanctuary to the depth Of the ridicu-
lous. a political offender may justly claim
sanctuary among US, but man whose
| crimes would subject him to outlawry snd
death in all nations where law is eHthroned,
can hardly be permitted to put in his plea
for safe refuge. The point is that our Gov
ernment having placed the Spanish author
tiles under obligation by returning the ref
uge, will be In position to demand the de-
livery of the rebels who shall seek an asy-
lum in Spain after the rebellion is ended.
The copperhesds see the point and hence

Some men say they support Fremont be-

that Fremont was not treated right, but we
always considered it very fortunate that he
never led an army into battle. Perhaps
the men at the head of the Government
knew Mr.. Fremonfs capacity better than
we do. and dared not risk him in big tight.

that all is working well. Plans are being
matured which are necessarily kept secret.
There has been no general fighting for sew

seems to think it important to take it.
Butler and Sheridan had both repulsed

the rebels, near Petersburg, in which he
got the advantage.

The Sabbath.

We have but little in the Divine Record
relative to the Sabbath, for period of g.
SIS years. Noses says (Gen. II, 81:
"And on the Seventh day God ended His
works which He had made, and He rested
on the Seventh day from all His works
which He had made Not that He
wrought, but declared His works finished
on this day. The third verse explains the
second, which says: "And God blessed
the Seventh day and ssnctified it, because
that in it He had rested from all His works
which God had created and made" There
fore. the Sabbath was evidently instituted,
first, as commemorative Of that great event
the creation-and, second, sanctiied fol-
mans moral and intellectual culture.
Reference is had, doubtless, to the same
measure of time when Cain brought his
saeri6ce-''in process Of time That is
at the end of days. Also, Noah mentions
the same hebdomada measure of time
when the waters of the food were receding.
He cent out raven and dove; the dove
returned, and he took her into the ark
And be staid yet another seven days and
sent out the dove, which returned with al
olive leaf in her mouth. So he knew the
waters were abated And still he waitec
another seven days, and sent out the dove
that returned no more. Thus through til,
long dark ages of the past, distinct lines O
this sacred institution are clearly traced.
And when Moses re-estabished the claim
of Jehovah, and organized them liz the form
of great moral code, he speaks of the in
stitution of the Sabbath to be observed a
a matter of course, and as an institution
with which they were familiar from thei
! youth; and this was 1891 years befor
Christ. Again, the incorporation of thi
law into the first table is significant as du
ty made obligatory to God himself; an
hence is a matter of paramount importance
+ The sacredness of this day, also, may b
seen in the instructions the Almighty CAV
relative to a man who had gathered stick
on the Sabbath day, commanding them
stone him to death, and thus put away thu
wicked person from amongst them. Ho'
awful the crime how stupendous the trans
gression when viewed in the light of sue
a penalty And God is the same He Wa
then; He changes not. All F.! who ca
