It was but fair that Mr.. Lincoln, who had
been stretched upon the rack for four years,
should have.a peaceful administration by be-

suited the speaker. He was the radical Of
radicals, but would never consent to acknow-

General Neal Dow. who is one of the most
radical Of radical Republicans, says the rebels
desire to SEQ anybody but Lincoln the next
President. To be compelled to submit to
him will add to their humiliation. General
Dow says: e Fr''a s94f5
At present the rebels are looking anxiously
at the movements of the North In relation to
the next Presidential election. Their hone is
that some other man than Mr.. Lincoln may
be nominated and elected to the Presidency
The election of any other person they will
regard as sure indication that the loyal
North tires of the war, and means to change
it's policy in relation to it. The leaders OF
the rebellion have now no other hope of sue
cess than this, and their hope is that those
may come into power who will say to them,
Erring sisters, depart in peace r The Of
hcers in Libby prison, who had abundant
opportunities to see the feeling Of the rebels
on this subject. were anxious that the loyal
men of the North should perceive tho danger
OF lending any encouragement to it. No man
has greater respect than myself for Mr..
Chase and Mr.. Fremont, nor ! moro entire

to conduct the affairs of the country with

the nation--but for this time, should regard
