four sas.H II Presidency oysr the wAais Iaffcd
States Ua. rat s,@aid ray Cor him that he had
been cheated OF has right 10 preside over all the
States by secession, and that he meant 10 acquire
his right by conauciils the rebel States and pre-
siding over tire whole Union, according to the Con-
stitatton
Wade and Winter Davis threaten that If Lincoln
preuaes 10 count for himself the votes of the rebel
States, brought lack into the Union by the one
teath Of their population under his famous procla-
nation, and to oiaim his seat ON that ground, biz
" Cosipetitot' tctH resist but what cares Lincoln
for that lie can blibe Wade on Davis with n mess
OF pottsse II he thinks il best he can easily put
them and the competition" i'll the Old Capitol
where muth better men have rine'l in CHAINS
For ali the stages OF the eteetion L,htoin's ma
ehnery i. ready, ana Will be put in operation NJ
prorcr ,u,es Already his detectives ate active, and
are Bringing agains; hundreso Of leaders,
from voorhees, and Naandigham down to the cross
road politician. We may hear III day OF two that
they pat in saI keeping One General CARING
ton busy hunting them up. He, We suppose, Is the
faithlcss Nng.nian, once known here who, IN the be-
ginning of the war; Joined the enemy, but said he
would not fight in the field He remained IN Wash
inston Incolns prosecutor To despoil his fellow
citizens of their property, and Is now head detective
for the Illinois Ape.
Lincoln will do whatever he deems necessary for
the promotion of his object lie will break up the
Chicago Convention if he thinks that best The ae-
cusations brought against its leaders Will give him
pretext enough for that. Aga;a, 1t may be deemed
most prudent 10 let il go AID split zap the oppos
ton The time Of the election, near it; snioing
for the arrests If lazy, Of the ledGers who are
accused.
Now the que Stion is viii the people and the States
of the North submit There have been no States
Rights idea. in the North for fifty years The pco-
pie do not know the meaning Of the word. They
understand as little the meaning OF personal liberty
The idea Of numerical power and the grandeur oil
a homishing commerce and Cpulcnt cities have
swallowed up everything Of the solt. VIII such
a people resist the usulpatons Of Lincoln J., They
have indeed, States with all the powers Of -over-
eighty, but their existence as sovereign resembles
an old law grown obsolete and forgotten; any man
attempting 10 revive it would only bring lidicuie
upon himself, All eyes turned TO Washington
all ideas swallowed up in Capitalization and as
gregltion OF force aud power. There Is htte reason
therefore to anticipate any resistance on the score
of States X gilts and Constitutional Liberty.
But there other grounds upon which resistance
may be more reasonably anticipated. They
First, The burthen OF taxation and the terrofs u
the service IN the war. Second, The idea Of en-
pire in the Northwest, and the reluctance Of that
pat OF the Federal Union + furnish more men and
means for the war while the Puii;ana OF New Eng
land are Sinking duty in the field and coming
money out OF the war; and, Ihiid, The spint Of
opposition to the party in power which animatcS the
aspirants for the Presidency and their followers.
The first of these grounds quite strong, and will
work powerfully upon the people Aided BY our own
valiant soldiers resisting Lincoin's horde, in the
field, the spnit OF RESISTANCE on thi. ground may
give Lincoln vast deal Of trouble.
The second cause of resistance Is even more seri-
Gus. The spirit of jealousy and hatred of New
England is strong iii the Northwest il was be
fore the wal in the South. Nay, stronger; for the
South feleno jeaiO"syof New England She dctested
her. desired to have nothing to do with her, and
abhoreI the burthens which CCngless IMPOSED upon
her for the benefit OF people She justly eXecrated.
The Northweotds an empire Ill resources AT Once
powerful AMI grand. The people there feel and
know their power and they know that the Federal
tyranny is exhausting their means and expressing
them unreasonaby ana unequilly, wtIle the North
east Is reaping all the benefits OF the war They
know that there Is 10 sympathy between the SEE
tons that their sympdthes are with the lnhahI-
tants o; the Mississippi Valley while their contr-
buttons OF blood and treasure to the only to
promote the opuence and political aggraniIzcment
OF the greedy the avarIclous.;l and yoIaG0us North
east, with which they have no sympathy
From the tlliid and last named source Of oppos
ton to L:nculns usurpaton much cannot he eH-
pected IL the other sufficient to present
a strong allay OF resistance, the political leaders
the beasts and binds OF prey with all their hungry
followers, may join the throug and make great
show Of public virtue; but Lincoln will more pro-
baby bride the controlling amongst then and
thus take the main strength out Of that element Of
hostility.
Presidency ior IL second term may consist the suu-
ton Of the problem Of the NuIthe!Il Union, now ~
much involved in mystery. 1t j. the most certain
mode Of alousng the peorI. TO Il sense OF their
rights and 10 the spirit Of resistance All that is
Necessary that even: IS that there shall be enough
OF public virtue, enough OF the spirit OF manhood
and independence 10 drive the States ana the PEG
pie to q successful resistance, which Is then only
hope OF escape from the Cdieus tyranny that
ever cursed mankind, Even with All the power and
resolution that can be brought against Lincoln al
the North, the vaor and the unconqucrLle spirit OF
the Southern people Indispensable 10 their sue
Cess.
