AN ALIEGoRY.
In the year 1907, whilst the wisest heads in Great
Britain were at their wits end in devisng means
to secure the fast anchored isle against the pOlti
cal tempest that bad already swept away several Of The
old dynastes of toe continent, there was in that lsanc
facous party whose conduct teLded to ALLEVIATE from
the government large portion of the paope of the
United Kingdom. This faction harped upon Variou:
subjects of domestic policy, with view to arouse pop
ular feeling and especially upon the dangers that, as
they alleged, were impending the established Church
At that time, among the leading spirits of Grea
Church named Sidney Smith, Chris ian of the most
expanded benevoence a ripe scholar, a keen
hut good natured wit, and fearless patriot
This man, devoted to his country, vas not blind to the
abuses that had grown up urdsf her institutions, bat

done easonably and dscreey, not out of time and
with reckless disregard for the feelings of other

to aundiced vision might to be paramount, ii
not exclusive.
In the year aforesaid" Sydney Smith, who was
one of the founders of the Elinburg Review contrlbu
ted to that periodical criticism in which is found in
reference to the itiraed inhammatory publications OF
the day, the following racy passage:

! By hook or by crock, ABRAHAM LINCOLN is bound
to be eelected President of the Northern States.-
That like his nomination at Baltimore, is foregone
| conclusion. He is far from being great man, but
whatever else may be thought about him. he has shown
himself to be "snart man in his own way. lie has
ockeyed all his competitors so far, and will do so
again, we think, although the experiment he is trying
is dangerous one but the danger lies away IN tire
distance beyond Mr.. LINCoL Ms ken and beyond his
| care.
at the Convention that renomnated him, undoubted
Southern States were fcttously represented and, in
the electoral college that will choose the President we
should not wonder if the vote of North Carolina South
Carolina Arkansas Louisiana and other Southern
States should be counted for ABRAHAM LINCOLN and
ANDREW JOHNSON. One man out of ten is author
zed according to the LINCOLN programme, to cast the
vote for any of the " rebel' States Who knows but
that there may be sufficient number OF runaway ne
groes, Bufaoes and white Yankee soldiers 10 n ortn
Carolina, to muster up tea thousand votes In NoVem-
Der next? Or if there is not, who will say that there
will not be LINCOLN agen s sufficiently accommodating
to return them as having voted and, Of course voted
for the present Incumbent That thing will be CAST
ly arranged So much, We think is certain.
The New York Herald undertook to predict that
LINCOLN could not be nominated, and that GRANT
would be. The result shows how far the Herald was
mistaken. The same paper takes upon itself to say
that LINCOLN will not be elected In this prediction 1t
is almost as certain be mistaken it in its pre-
dction about the nomination. LINCOLN plays with
loaded Dice and unless his election is prevented by
force it will certainly be accomplished by fraud.
The great State of New York may feel insulted by
having its vote Offset by electoral delegations presum
ing to represent North South Carolina Alabama or
Arkansas louisiana or Texas or Florida. New York
may fully understand the fraud, but it will be unable
to right itself without having resort to open force
and we doubt if it will have that resort. For the time,
at least LINCOLN will probably be master of the stua.
ton. He will carry his point. Away in the future
will loom up dangers and difficulties The seeds of dis
traction and suspicion will be planted and they will
be certain to bear bitter fruit. But that will be in the
future, beyond the ken or the care of men like Mr.
LINCOLN, who are merely " smart" and not wse-who
ara politicians but not satesmen,-who are fanatics
and not patriots.
Why HAMBL1N was thrown overheard we can hard
Iy tell. HAMBL1N was as black Republican as any
body. There has been nothing 1Ohte about him, not
even his complexion since it is shrewdy questioned
whether he is full blooded white himself. But
he has been thrown over board to make room for AN
DREW JOHNSON, perhaps because JOHNSON halls from
one of those Southern States from which bogus dele
cation is expected to cast counterfeit vote for LIN
OOLN.
