rrFr vRIVeT.o


This classic expression of Mr., Lincoln has
been used by him on two remarkable occa-
sious At other times he has brought it to
his aid as illustrating the policy Of bis Ad-
ministration. 1t may be safely said to he an
axiom by which he is covered in his official
conduct 1T is dangerous, he says, "to swap
horses crossing river" One would believe
that so plain proposition az this figure of
speech covers would be guide to his feet IN
all be attempts to do Tor the benefit Of his
country But this "God given President has
not even the merit of consistency with his
own Jokes. Let US see il he has ever violated
his chosen and charmed aphorism. Mr. Lin.
cola sWapped Mcdowell for Mcclellan, cross
ing the Potomac he snapped Mcclellan for
Burnside, crossing the iappahannock. de
swapped Burnside for Hooker, Gro sing the
same river He swapLed Hooker for Meade,
crossing the Potomac. He swapped Meade
for Grant crossing the Rapidan BE swapped
Butler Tor Banks, crossing the Mississippi
He snapped Banks for Candy, crossing the
Red rlver lie snapped Hunter for Gilmore
crossing Charleston Bar, He swapped Du.
pont for Dahleren, before Fort Sumter. These
are only a few of his swaps, which show his
appreciation of his own apophthegm. Bu
let us look at his last and greatest swap-he
swapped Hamlin for Johnson, crossing the
| Rubicon T.
And now the President has swapped
Chase for Tod, but the Senate knowing tina
it was a bad Tod wouldn't agree, and Fessen
den was substituted in the swap--and this il
the very rapida of the financial food. - -Hari
