Republican Reasons Against
the Re.eleCtIOD Of Mr. LINCOLN.

We have before US copy OF leading
republican journal, which prefers some
other mem Der Of its party to Mr.. Lincoln
for president; and as the arguments which
1t advances are ongsDt ones, We reproduce
them. They are as follows:
LIST. The present administration Of the
national authority are most Odious to q
large party north, and the sOuthern people
are 90 embittered against Mr.. Lincoln that
they will yield to his rule only in the last
extremity For this reason, the rerubi-
can journal from which we quote, thinks
that as no principle requires Mr.. LipcolDIS
reelection, sit is an obvious sut geston d
Vt prudence to make the effort to present
the national authority in an aspect less
ffensiVe to the deIudPd followers of JEFF
Davis" To re elect Mr.. Lincoln, it adds
lis to play into the hands CT the rebel
leaders by rendering it more easier for
them 10 maintain their asceIdsncy over
people"
%. n tioinG the argument of resolu-
tion OF the Pennsylvania republican state
convention, that until the rebellion is pot
down. OF at least until its armed force and
VIgor are broken, there should be no change
in the administration. the reply of our
republican cntewpUrary is as follows: II
the continued existence Of the rebellion is
good reason for rejoicing Mr.. Lincoln
FOR second term. it Will re an equally
s1unl one for giving him third term, if,
four years hence, the rebellion is raging.
Aud it pOintedly Hdds that the rebellion
certainly will'rsge four years hence. "lf
she people are unwiss enough to trust the
repressian Of it any longer to the man who
has so isnomiuiously failed in the work
heretofore"
81. Our republican contemporary de-
Clare5 its conviction that the Ilan Of the
administration has been not to close the
Cdr until Mr. Linco!n's reelection was
secured. Il says BIO hes told capital
story Illustrating the folly of swapping
horses 10 tina middle Of q rapid river. and
no thinks it is his purpose to keep the ma
ton laundering in the water till Novcm-
Der is passed.
4th. Finally, our pungent republican
friend announces that it holds to the opin-
son that the prouaction of the war to the
present time. "insteaS Of being reason
for Mr.. Lincolb's recollection. is a most
eongelt one against it," It is precisely
because, it says, CATER calling out three
millions of men. and spending three thous-
and millions Of dollars. now, in the fourth
year of the war the rebellion is not put
down, and its armed force and vigor not
broken, that the people viii conclude that
it is quite time to insrHst the dsstinies Of
the country to different sud more ener-
getic leadership"
We think the above sufficiently good
democratic doctrines, even though emanat-
ing from an abolition source, b give them
our hearty concurrence. aud 10 invite to
them the attention, of men Of sb parties.
who love the truth, tersely and ally
stated.

The Two Parties

There is wide difference between tbs
Democratic and Republican parties which
should be prominently kept before the
people.
The Democratic party relies upon the
| ballot boxes to redress political grievances
The republican party resort 70 bayonets
and military intimidations at the ballot
| boxes.
The Democratic party believe that the
constitution should be adhered to strictly,
in time of peace or war.
The Republican party believe that the
constitution should be disregarded if their
sparty is in power, and the Administration
Of their choice deems it necessary to set
it aside. "a
The Democratic party believe in the
great constitutional right of the ha6eas
| corpus as a shield to the citizens against
unlawful arrest, and that Congress alone
can suspend it in the time of instruction
or invasion.
The Republican party believe that this
right should not be regarded if their par>
tisan President should suppress it.
The Democrats believe that the civil
law is superior to the military.
The Republican party believe that the
military is superior to the civil pow er.
The Democratic party are opposed to
arbitrary arrests without due process Of
Law, where the courts are unobstructed.
The Republican party favor such ar
rests.
The Democratic party believe that the
States are sovereign in ell political power,
which they have not delega ted to the Fed
e7al Government.
The Republicans certralize power in the
Federal Government and sanction acts
which subvert the rights of the Stats and
suppress the liberties Of the people.
The Democrats believe that the Union
can be maintained only on the principles
of the constitution upon which it was has
ed-that when all of the States are not ad :
miited as equals in the Union che Union
itself cannot stand.
The Republicans propose that portion
OF the States shall dictate to another as to
| the State ms titulieDs that shall exist with.
in their jurisdiction, and hold that q por-
sion of the States should be dependencies
to the more numerous and powerful States.
The Democrats hold thes secession and
rebellion are hostile to shs eansGitUtiOD,
| ard wickedly in violation of the pledged
faith of the States and tina. the eoustitu-
zion ard laws in Pursuance thereof, sball
&c maintained in all the States Of the
| Onion. .
The Republicans hold tha. the laws un.
der the constitution shall not be maintain
ed, but destroyed by armed force-that the
President's word or order shall override
the constitution and law, and destroy not
only provisions of the constitution, but
State laws and State Institutions. The
Union as it was they will not haze.
The people should judge which get of
principles is the best 10 peace OF in war,
and which party is the most likely to save
the Onion.

Union Among Democrats.


The Abolition disuuiouists vaiply fatter
themselves that the Democrats viii not
unite in the support of the SANS candidate.
for the Presidency at the ensuing election.
Because there is some differences Of opin-
ion amongst Democrats in regard to policy,
it is inferred that they will not unite on
principle in the great work Of rsscuing the
republic from the hands Of a party that
has we'll nigh plunged it into the abyss of
destruction.
Now the Abolition disunionists may as
we'll abandon the hope 10 reference to
lewiston among Demooratr. The differ,
ance among Democrats relates to policy 10
regard to dealing With the rebellion. A
portion Of the Democratic porty believe
that the Union could best be restored by
inlugurating peace and referring our mas
tional troubles 20 a convention of States
holding that tia var, as conducted, is daily
widening the brsech between the sections
and making udion impossible. Those are
| classed peace Democrats. The other pr
! ton Of the party are in favor Of prosecute
ing the war with vigcY until the Southern
rebels shRll be compelled to submit to
terms of peace, without concessions or
compromises. These are called war Dem
ocrats. Though We coincide with the
peace Democrats, at the same time we cau
cheeriuliy yield our support to candidates
who may differ with us on the points nam
ed. And We have not conversed with o
single Democrat, of whatever views re.
lative to the proper policy regarding thu
war and peace question, who will not yield
his support to Mcclellan, Grant, Seymour
Pierce, or any of the distinguished Demo-
Gratis named in connection with the nOmi
nation.
Therefore, those who hope that Atra,
