Another War OF tho Roses-Chase Against
Linooln-Frcmont Against BOth-Grant
the Man for the Crisis.

Lincoln-Frcmont Against B0th-Grant
the Man for the Crisis.
By what Samuel Weller would define as "a
VERY remarkable coincidence" on the identi-
cal day, the 22d Of February, set apart by Mr.
Simeon Draper, in secret circular, for gene
raj uprising OF the shoddy republicans in behalf
Of another Presidential term to Mr.. Lincoln,
we have been enabled to lay before our read
ers the pointed aud pungent confidential mani
festo from Senator Pomeroy against Old Abe,
and in favor Of Secretary Chase for the success
sion, and also the sharp and warlike letter of
General FREMONT in reference to the shabby
treatment he has received from the adminstra-
ton.
Mr.. Simeon Draper and his associates, in their
circular of the 2sth Of January, take the ground
that "in Abraham Lincoln the loyal people
have found true lea der and an able defender
of the great ideas upon which our government
was founded" that .he has been tried and not
found wanting;' that mo man in modern times
ever came into Office under such trying circum-
Stances that "none ever worked more dill
gently to bring discordant elements together
and make them move in harmony;" that bis
efforts have been wonderfully successful, and
that lit is therefore proposed that on the 22d
Of February, 1854, all citizens of the United
States, without regard to party, who are in
favor of the reelection of Abraham Lincoln"
shall gather together in public meetings to
give him lift for another term. Such Is the
substance Of the Draper-Lincoln manifesto,
and its first product Of the 22d Of February is
this Pomeroy- Chase manifesto, TO which we
will now, for a moment, call the readers atten-
ton.
himself Chairman National Executive Com
mttee"-that is, the Chase committee. He
opens his proclamation with the bold opinion
that the movements recently made through
out the country to secure the denomination Of
President Lincoln render necessary some coun-
teraction on the part OF those unconditional
friends Of the Union who differ from the policy
Of his administration Here q split il empha-
tically proclaimed. Next il appears that so
| long as no efforts were made to forestall the
political action Of the people, the Chase men
were disposed to keep quiet; but when party
machinery and Official influences" are brought
to bear to secure another term TO Old Abe,
those in favor Of change, and Of !" vigor, purity
and nationality" have no alternative but to
define their position. Mr.. Pomeroy and bis
| national committee then declare:-
First-That Mr.. Lincoln cannot possibly be
elected "against the union OF influences which
will oppose him.
Secondlv-Tbat shouId he be elected the

In another part Of this journal VIII be
found most interesting statement byseur
special London correspondent. In regard 70 tho
present condition Of Europe, the Danish and
German war and the plans Of Louis Napoleon.
II Is asserted that tie Emperor OF tho French
and bis ally. Victor Emanuel. King Of Italy,
are making vast preparations for general
war. Tho forces Of Italy and France will aid
those Of Denmark, and, a. Germany has thought
proper to break the peace Of Europe. upon her
will fall the consequences. Italy will regain
venetia. while Hungary will be stirred up to
open instruction. In this Austria will suffer.
AS for Prussia, Napoleon owes her q grudge,
and should not this war be stopped immediate
ly he will repay many fold the annoyance she
caused him by those hostile manifestations
which oocasioned the hasty peace OF Villa
franca, thus marring the most successful cam
paign that was ever fought. Napoleon will
doubtless seize upon the present opportunity
to extend his frontiers TO the Rhine. he will
despatch large force into Germany, md will
50 arrange affairs that France oan but benefit by
the storm which Germany has seen at to raise.
The German forces now In the duchies have
gained point; but what will they do hereafteri
The Powers of Europe will not tamely consent
to the capture Of Schleswig- Holstein. Having
forcibly possessed themselves Of these provinces,
what will the Confederation do with thsmi
There is the real difficulty for the Germans to
contend with. They run the risk Of forming
against themselves an alliance between Dem
mark, Sweden, France and Italy. England also
would aid these Powers Russia will keep
clear Of the imbroglio, Prussia and Austria
having thus to confront alone the immense
force arrayed against them.
In all this turmoil the balance Of power re-
mains with France. Napoleon will Hnd him
self able to dictate to Germany, in fact to set
tie this question either by arbitration or force,
and in either case will so manage that material
benefits shall accrue to himself The disad-
vantages Of his position are cleared away by
the blunder of the Germanic Confederation. 1t
has broken tho peace of Europe, not Napoleon;
and he needed just such an opportunity to es-
cape the dangers which surrounded him. With
Europe on the eve Of general war, the people
of France will see the danger Of q revolution,
and will give the Emperor support he would
otherwise not have had. There is great proba-
bility now that at the period when we shall
have conquered lasting peace the Old World
will be entering upon phase which must IN
sure the total change Of its present political
aspect. The republic will have rcgained all
its lustre as the effete monarchies Of Europe
will be disappearing forever.
