when will the War End!

Seme abolition orators are predi ting
the termination Of he war in ninety days.
Ninety years will not see the end OF it #
the country so long remains under the rule
OF the abolition party.
But NC have a strong hope 1t will be end
cd IN less than two years. We expect a
Democrat to be elected next November,
who will take his seat ON the 4th Of March
1850. We also expect a Democratic Con
gress to be elected, and thlt, Immediately
after taking his seat, the President will
call his Congress together; that body, will
rope al all abolition measure the President
Will abrogate all the Abolition proclama-
lions which ave emanated from Lincoln;
and President and Congress will reque-t
the erring Southrons to repeal the ordi-
ninces OF Secession and return 70 the old
Union. These manifestations of justice
and honest purposes, will beget "A very large
Union party in all the rebellious States
The Union party in the South will appeal
to the people to rid themselves of TIE
sc,urge and calamities Of war, aud accept
in its stead the Union AS it was in the
lays of Washington, Jefferson and Jack
son, and with all the manifold blessings,
and the people will rally around its stan
dard, and secession will melt away under
is influence like snow under an April sun
Then We will have peace and Union. We

What the Abolition Movement
Has Accom- uIiShed.

The New York Herald. in noticing the
article of the New York Tribune tracing
the connections between the organization
of the abolition societies in the North IN
1888 and the present condition of the
country, says:
What these one hundred thosuand
Abolitionists have accomplished may be
briefly stated ina very few words. They
have accomplished the present war. They
have worked for it thirty years. and here
it Is. They have wrecked a powerful.
peaceful and happy country. They have
arrayed brother against brother. father
against son, children against parents. They
have filed the land with widows and or.
phans. They have transferred the coun-
try into a vas; graveyard. They have she'd
an ocean of blood aud squandcred NOUN
tains Of money. They have made the air
heavy with the cries of the wounded and
the groans of the dying, and the lamenta-
tions of the mourners. They have devas-
trted the fields and plantation, of the south,
ard destroyed the commerce OF the north.
They have given a check to civilization
and democratic institutions which it will
take years TO recover. All this they have
accomplished in thirty years. One hun
dred thousand fends let loose from the
lowest hell and inspired by the most in
iernal malice could not have ACCOMPLISHED
more mischief in de same space of tine
# this may be any thing to rejoice over.
let the abolitionlsts rejoice. If they de.
sire to raise a monument to I'erpetuate the
remembrance Of the,r triumphs. our battle
fields will furnish them with enough hu-
man skulls for u pyramid, and Wendell
Phillips or Reecher would be only TO hap
py TO deliver the address at the laying OF
the corner skull"

Congress.

Except when it proposes TO put a heavy
tax upon the People. or 10 lay out the de-
tails of , c6nscription, no interest is taken
in i 5 proceedings. The Executive. BY his
usurpations of power, has rendered the
Legislative and Judicial branches Of the
Government Of but little account. They
have been swallowed up in the vortex that
has destroyed American liberty in the last
three years. The Executive, ike Laus
NV of France, lis the State" His WI
is law. If Congressional legislation suits
him, we'll and good; if not, he can easily
nullify and set it aside by an Executive
Proclamation, as we'll as the Constitution
itself. The members of Congress very Zen
orally feel this. even those who belong to
the Republican party, and are depressed
by it. The great power Of the Govern
ment. as long as we lived under the Con.
sJitution of 1889, it has sunk to a mere dc.
batting society ana register of Executive
edicts, under the new one of military ne
c~essity" that has been substituted in it;
stead. The first branch OF the Govern.
ment that fell before the stroke of the Tx
%ecutiye was the judiciary, SO that now, un
der the Republican dispensation, we have
practically but one authority in the coun
try-a President in name, but an Emperol
in power and in fact.

ly by them as they all have been in the
habit of denouncing other folks who did
not bow the knee to the negro idol. It's
pity this row did not occur a dozen years
or more since. If the abolitionists had
fought among themselves then, We doubt il
the North and South would be fighting
each other to-day. But it is rather odd
that GARRISON should be playing the roll
OF conservative, and be the abused instead

ps- There are three meanings TO the
phrase The Union" The first is the
Union az itexisted under the revolutionary
Confederation; the second is the Union I'M
der the Constitution, the third is the
Union as the radicals are try ng to recon.
struct it. The first is n Confederate
Union: the second a constitutional Union;
the third a consolidated Union. The first
is the Union Of the SecessionistS, the sec-
ond is the Union of TIE Conservatives the
third is the Union o: the Abolitiopists.

We sec that Senator Wilson. in a very
sullen and ungrlcious manner, has with
drawn his resolution proposing the expul-
sion of Senator Davis. He hal better
never have drawn it, SO far as he and his
party are concerned. The Senator from
Massachusetts mistook the present temper
not merely OF the people but of The Senate.
lie Is ahead of his time, though probably
not more than IA year or two, if his party
should continue in power, which God and
the people forbid. On the whole, we are
not sorry that this form of radical tyranny
has so distinctly cropped tut thus early.
1t serves to f%orewarn the people of the real
character and tendency of the party which
is raising heaven and earth and hell to per
ne'uafe Its power in the government.
