Aholitionism Confused.

The abolition scramble for the next
Presidency, has fairly commenced, and
has produced an alarmining intestine
isul in the administration party
Honest Old Abe maks no secret of his
intentions to manage the damaged
helm of the ship of State for another
term, and, waved on by the lily white
Land of Miss Dickinson, he is actually
undergoing slow process of renomi-
nationfrom Union Leagues, State Leg
islatures, and fair share of abolition
stump speakers. While members of
opposing factions are only anxious for
delay, the willy Abraham is keeping
his Office holders busy at work to Sc
cure a continuance of power for him
and themselves. In Mr.. Lincoln's in
tnrest, Senator Stevenson, referring to
tie Chase men, said, Politicians only
wore scheming for delay. Let us
sweep these cold-blooded cormorants
from our path" Some of the Lincoln
ties 60 SO far as to term his opponents
in their own party disloyal. A Sena-
tor in the Wisconsin Legislature re-
Gently declared that "Senator Pome-
roy is a traitor, and should be expelled
from the Senate" The adherents Of
Lincoln have the most fear Of the
Chase men. The Secretary's letter,
withdrawing from the Presidential
CANVASS, and what an abolition jour
nal terms, "the letter Of patriot and
n statesman" is simply regarded as
matter Of no consequence, as far as it
bears upon his leaving the Presiden-
n course. The Chase men are vigor-
ously at work, strongly advocating tho
one term principle, and doing every
thing to weaken the confidence Of tho
people in Mr.. Lincoln. The President
expects to extinguish Grant by his
Lieutenant Gonoralship, and thus dis
li)se of at least one formidable and
possible candidate for the Chief Mag
istracy. General Fremont is conspic-
uous object on the Presidential track
The radical Germans endorse him /;

THE NEWS.

The House Committee on Com
merce have ordered to be reported q
resolution authorizing the President
to give notice to Great Britain of the
suspension Of the Reciprocity Treaty,
as soon as it can be done under the
provisions thereof.
An Army Of the Potomac dispatch
states that all officers now absent must
return before Gen. Grant commences
its reorganization. This is move
ment in the right direction.
We have partial returns from the
Arkansas elections, indicating beyond
doubt the election of Gov. Maury
and the whole state ticket. The new
State Constitution is almost unani-
mously ratified.
Advices from yicksburg state that
three brigades of troops had left that
city, and that the 10th Army Corps had
gone south. These forces are suppos-
ed to have gone to cooperate with
Gen Banks. There is every indica-
ton of important movements in LOU
isianna, the result Of which the coun-
try will learn in due time. The sim
gle fact that Gen. Banks heads the ex-
petition in person, is a sure guaranty
that it is an affair of no ordinary mag
nitude. Preparations for this move
ment have been in progress for some
weeks, and now that the 18th Army
Corps have left Vicksburg to join the
terprise, it will have tendency to in
crease public interest in its success.
Gems. Burnside and Hancock in
company with Gov. Curtin reviewed
several regiments at Harrisburg on
Thursday, Burnside's corps is con-
centrating at Annapolis, preparatory,
it is intimated, to return to North
Carolina. Hancock is to return to the
Army of the Potomac
Stuart, with body of rebel cavalry
has crossed the Rappahannock, near
fredericksburg, and is threatening a
raid on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road.
An extensive conspiracy has been
discovered in Kentucky, said to have
for its object the annexation of Ken
lucky to the Southern Confederacy.

foats, but in either ease, the Army and
Navy have done its whole duty. The
rank and flo were patriotic and brave.
They had freely offered their lives
upon the altar of their country, and
whatever might be the termination Of
tho war, he hoped earnestly it would
be for the restoration Of tho Federal
Union. The Army and Navy would
ever be remembered as band Of he
roes,, and tho survivors of them and
|. their descendants would ever receive
the praise and grateful remembrance
of thoir follow countrymcn. The sons
of st. Patrick wore largely represent
ed in both the Army and Navy upon
every field, and in every contest they
were to be found battling and dying
on the side. of thoir native brothers.
Ho alluded to the stubborn defense of
Lexington by the brave Col. Mulligan,
and to the glorious deeds of the Irish
Brigade under the gallant Meagher.
The sons Of st. Patrick might with
pride look upon the record that their
members had made in this war.

felt that difficult however. Woman,

would be incomplete without them. He
felt that he was incomplete without
''one." He closed by hoping the la
dies would speak kind word for him.
A letter was read from Jugde Suth-
erland, saying that his engagements
out Of the county would not permit
him to be present, but he would give
as sentiment, st. Patrick's Society,
promotion of sociability and kindness,
may its numbers or its virtues never
be less.

Maxnnnimous peclination.

Secretary Chase displayed his high
appreciation Of the Magnanimous, q
few days since in writing a letter de-
Ginning to becoue candidate for
Presidential honors. Previous to this,
h, hal snid to an influential friend
that he would allow his namc to be
used If it should be brought forward,
hut when in the Legislature of his
State il became evident that he had
but seven friends III that body, and
that in fact, riinoty of the one hundred
and six abolition members Of that
body, had declared for Lincoln, he
Nrry magnan;mously declines tn, hon
or. This is perhaps wise for Mr..
Chase, but does not help Lincoln, for
certainly, Mr.. Chase's friends will not
tustain Lincoln, but will draw off
their influence in favor of Grant, Fro
mont or some other candidate, and by
oviding their strength injure tho
domination and election Of the pres
cat inipotont incumbent.
