Are The y Knaves or FoOlsl

Unscrupulous Republican orators
whose impudence leads them to trust t.
the credulity of their auditors, assert thai
Lincoln has not violated the Cons.itu-
tion in single instance.
John Sherman, Of Ohio, admitted that
Lincoln had violated the Constitution in
several cases for which Congress was call
ed upon to vote exemp ton.
John C. Fremont charges Lincoln with
the grossest violation of the Constitution
and as unworthy ofre-election.
Henry Winter Davis charged Lincoln
with having usurped authority in violation
Of the Constitution.
Benjamin F. Wade denounces Lincoln
as usurper and a violatsr of the Consti-
tuition.
Robert c. Schenck charged that Lin
coin had violated the Constitution by Civ
ing Blair a Major Generalship after he va
Gated that Office by holding seat in Con
gross.
Hundreds of other violations of the
Lincoln, but we have only referred to
eases of violation of the Constitution, di-
rsctly proven by prominent Republican
witnesses, all of them now supporters of
Lincoln's Abolition war policy and his re-
election.
Republican orators who say that Lin
coin has not violated the Constitution, are
just ignorant or knavish enoguh to please
an audience innocent of the commonest
ever yday political history Of our coun-
try Pharos.

There is not newspaper nor speaker
now engaged in the foul work of denounc-
ing Gen. Mcclellan a. an ally of, or SYM
pathizer with the rebels, but would have
lamented with well-affected sorrow the
defeat of Mcclellan at Chicago, if Wood,
Dodd, Develin, and company had succeed
ed in accomplishing their object, as they
tried to do. Then, it would have been
said that the hero Of Anteitam had been
overslaughe6 because Of his connection
with the war, because he was in favor of
prosecuting the war, because of his West
Point Grafton and his Lake George speech,
and because of his arrest Of the secesh
Maryland Legislature. They would have
syn,pathized with McClellan--deeply so.
They would have declared Mcclellan a
very ill-used man-a victim to his union
ism. Some of the rascals would have said
and sworn to it on q stack of Bibles il
necessary, that they would have voted
for Mcclellan if he had been nominated;
that they had been waiting in breathless
anxiety to hear from Chicago, in the fond
hope that they would be given = chance
to throw up their hats and shout for Nc
clellan.
All this, and much more, these detract-
ors of Mcclellan would have said if Nc
Clellan had been defeated and some such
man as Tom Seymour nominated. And
doubtless they would have made some
simple minded Democrats believe that
they were sincere in making these protes-
tations Of course they would have been
liars and hypocrites. Their present con-
duct shows that But what then? They
would, possibly, have made is all
little political capital out Of it, and that
they care about.
These men know that Mcclellan has
q warm place in the affections of the peo-
pie. They know that thousands of those
who has been ranked as opponents of the
Democratic party intend to vote for the
patriot soldier. Hence these combined and
ferocious assaults of Lincoln's minions.-
But it will fail. A patriotic people will
rise in their might and hurl from power
the corrupt partizans who arc fattening on
the distresses of the people. Their day of
reckoning is coming.-[Ripley Co. Dem.

a Horrible Shooting Affair,

The Alton Democrat has the following
account of shooting affair, somo three
miles west Of Jerseyville, Illinois, on last
Saturday.
Miss. Jane Palmer, some seventeen years
old, residing with her relation, Mr.. Briggs,
was on Saturday evening last with Briggs
son, small boy, out milking, and the
calves getting out. ran down the road some
distance and were followed by the two, and
wnen some distance from the house wag-
on came along and the girl thinking it
was her brother, who was expected, Git
being this time quite dark she called him
and asked him to let her ride, at the same
time catching hold of the hind end of the
wagon but seeing the driver, whom she
vet thought to be her brother, draw a re-
volver, she let 60 aud called out in Gods
name not to shoot, but he did, three times,
two of the shots taking effect. She is still
living, but the doctors think her recovery
impossible 1t proved to be a mistake in
regard to its being her brother, but = man
bv the name Of James Mckinney, and the
shooting was entirely unrrovoked, as shown
by her deposition. He went before Esq
Goodrich and made . statement to the eft
feet that the girl stopped him in the roat
and demanded his money or his life
A plausible story, thata young girl, seven
teen years old, would make such demand
We think the murderer will have a hare
time to make any one believe it, not ever
himself The strange thing is Mckinney
10 still at large.

Abraham Lincoln inculcatsd the doc
trine that the Union was house, divi
ded against itself; that it could not els
part free and part slave, and his party
were going to make it all free. The secces-
sionists resolved to anticipate old Abe
for fear he would do as he said he would
do if ever he attained power, and endeav
or to make their part free The rebels
did not propose to meddle with the affairs
of the north as Abraham declared his in.
tention of interfering with the south
They did not threaten to make OuI
part slave, but only resolved to prevent
Lincoln from executing his declared in
tention of making their part free. And
now Lincoln, to convince the people that
he was . true prophet, is using the army
and navy of tho country for no purpose
under the heaven than to make the rebels
abandon slavery" The rebels are try
ing to divide the house rather than submit
to this. Both parties are revolutionary
the only real constitutional aud Union
party is that led by Mcclellan and Pen
dleton.-[Ft. Wayne Times.

The Responsibility.

On the Sd day of January 1861, Mr..
Douglas said:
81 address myself to the Republicans
alone for the reason that the committee of
thirteen, every member from the South,
including Messrs. Davis and Toombs of
the cotton States, expressed their readi-
ness to accept the Crittenden proposition
as final settlement of the controversy if
rendered and sustained by tho Republican
members. Hence the sole responsibility Of
oar disagreement and the only difficulty an
the 1oay Of an amica5le adjustment is acth
the Republican party"

Brovities from the Day-Book.

All white men and women, who cross
the Ohio river from Cincinnati into Ken
lucky, are searched by negro soldiers.
Gen. Miller, who commands at Nash
vile, recently ordered all the metropolitan
Records and Fresmen's Journals he could
find, to be burnt before his army. Watch,
and see if this bigot and fool is not promo
ted.
On recent occasion, Beecher took for
his text this passage The spirit of the
Lord is upon me-" &c. After he bad
been raving for war and carnage about
half an hour, dry customer, who sat in
the middle of the house, got up and walk
ed out, saying, 81 am glad you told me
that this is the spirit of the Lord, for
should have taken it for the spirit Of the
devil" 1t is said that for once Beechsl
actually blushed. 1t seems incredible, but
it is possible.
Mr.. Seward says that very grave couse
quences may follow the election of Dem
ocratic President this fall" That is true
the consequences to him and Lincoln may
be grace, too, literally.
The National Inteiligeucer interprets
Stewards last speech to mean that should
General Mcclellan be elected, Lincoln will
refuse to vacate the White House. We
have n doubt that Seward will advise such
a course We have little anxiety about
the matter. There is a wide and spread
ing impression that both Seward and Lin
coin have lived about long enough for
their country's good, and if they attempt
to hold over In the face of the election Of
Mcclellan, they will GO clear over to the
other side of Jordan.

"ABILITY AND EXPERIENCED The
day after the war Departmet had deprived
Gen. Mcclellan of all command except his
staff and few hundred men at Fortress
Monroe, Gen. Halleck sent him dispatch
which concluded with the following
words
IL beg you to :ssist me in this crisis
with your ability and experience.
Thi, liability and experience" is just
that the administration has been In need

may demand, that the nations affairs
henceforth have the benefit of that "sbility

a large amount OF damage. They have done a

damage has arisen the uneenauefabie deterra-
