From the Somerset MASS. )Democrat.]
Abolition Statesmanship.

When we consider the miserable states.
manship of the Lincoln Administration we
need not be surprised at its complete failure.
The first and fatal mistake the Abolition
leaders made was the undertaking Of the
strength, endurance and resources of the
Southern people. If they would have had
anything like an adequate conception Of the
task Of subju-ating them they would, as the
Democratic party advised them to do, first
of all have done everything to peaceably adj
Just the difficulties before they ventured upon
such difficult and doubtful experiment as
civil ~0r. Let us see for moment how
easily tiev expected to subdue the South
In the fall of 1860 Horace Greeley said that
if the Southern people revolted at the elect
ion Of Lincoln we would put twenty thou
sand soldiers on board of vessels Of war, and
send them down there to keep them in ''per-
petual check" William Ii. Seward, Lincoln S
chief Cabinet Minister and other notables of
the Abolition party, said that the war would
be over in sixty or ninety days. Another
pink of consistency nearer home, the
"bloody" General, declared in stentorian
voice, "a COW and twelve old women would
thrash them" And Others said that it
would be mere breakfast job. When the
rebellion commenced Lincoln called out
75,0 600 volunteers for three months, thinking
that they would conquer a peace. Shortly
after they issued call for SOC, 900 volunteers
for three years or during the war. Under
this call, according to eX.Secretary Of War
Cameron 5 report, $50, 600 volunteers were
obtained, and volunteering was stopped by
an order from the War Department, assign
ing as a reason that they had more volun
teers than was required to crush the rebellion.
One year after that, TO wit: in the Summer
of 1862, Lincoln issued another call for
100000 volunteers and 100000 drafted
men. In less than year from that time,
in July, 1868, Lincoln issued another call
for 300 900 drafted men for three years or
during the war. Three months alter that,
on the l7;h of October, 1868, Lincoln issued
another call for 800 900 volunteers or draft.
ed men as the people may choose, for three
years or during the war. This makes a
grand total of 1896, 900 men to finish this
"breakfast job!' And this is not the end
yet. Other drafts will be made if peace is
to be conquered, and the past mismanage
ment continues. These facts and figures
place Abolition craftsmanship in rather
ludicous aspect

our opponents on the merits of this national
storm they have raised; and we are not to be
led or driven aside from those merits by any
subterfuge whatever. We will face even

Thousands Of our political friends are in the
field in front Of the southern enemy, and
every Democrat who is not in the field there
is in the ranks with bis armor on against the
relentless enemy Of the national Union at
the North. That Union must be restored
by the suppression of the southern rebellion
but the surest way, If no: the only way, to
accomplish that result is to put down aboIi-

as he decalres that's what half the people
leave their homes on Sunday for. And while
he stood there he, tells us, the conversation
of those passing him was exceedingly interest

person would pass him conversing, and he
would hear a portion of what WAS said, and
another would come along talking about
something else, part of which caught his
ear, and so on. And this, said Marks, is the
way it strung out: "Very good sermon,
