Next COMES hos: Of fconservative Repub-
licaus, who, ilalf converted from the foul
heresy ofdemocrac} d, would like to s5see the
rebellion crushed, but if it must be chat sla
very, The blighting curse OF our-troubles
must be hlotted- out withit, it, they prefer tn at
it should succeed. Then on the other hand
there IS small army Of ultra AbolFisionists,
who oppose this administration, because it
has not made this a~war for the suppression
of slavery rather than for the suppression Of
the re5.llion. Added to all which there are
= few thousand soreheads, who have failed
TO get official appointments, who want a
change, no matter what, in hopes in the
general confusion, they may be able to work
into something.
These are some of the elements
but as before remarked, their principles
are not so easily defined They have
no settled policy. They want, they ask for
. change, but they cannot, they dare no:
show - the country line o: policy which
they will promise to pursue different from
that now being pursued. Even among
themselves they cannot agree upon any
One vans desus,ion; another wants sl.rery
Another wants ,larers abl'shed. Another
wants peace on any terms, another wants
to carry on the war, but withhold the means
another wants revenge for supposed grieye
ancts, and quite number want Offices.
Out OF all the opposition th:re- has not
yet been effe ted any unity Of purpose or Of
sentiment. II the present adm n>tration
he overthrown such dire conlusion as would
reign. has never hafcre been seen in the
world in lie midst Of all which the rebels
would triumph, and that is 'ho reason why
hey hope 10 see change.
1t is now more han three years since
Mr.. Lincoln was naugurated President Of
the u .itel Sta es. Some Of tho states
claimed to be out of the Union THIS claim
he utterly repuliated and by that, as his
Fundamental! doctrine he has ever since
stood, and s:t;ll stands as imnovabls as a
r,ck Sum Wade. Chase, Grcely and
a host OF others haze tried to get some &C
hnowledgemcne in leg;s atiye form OF the
fac that the reb l!;ous States n:e ont Of
the Union, but the President, faithful to
his oath says no: Duri: all this time the
opposition rave opposed everything that

have not attempted to say wherein they
would do better. They have found Gaull

No man, Democrat. Aboliliopis. or Re

again they have met IN convention, and ev-
cry time they have refused to publish any
and now again they wait with braathless
