Lincoln Accused of Preparing
for civil War In the North.

One of the most significant paragraphsin in
the very able protest of Senator Wade and
Hon. Henry Winter Davis, against the usur-
patons of Mr.. Lincoln, in his establish
ment, against law of Congress, Of an au-
tocracy over the seeded States, is the foil
owing:
"Thc President, by preventing this bill
votes of the rebel States at the dictation oI
| his personal ambition.
IF those votes turn the balance in his
favor, is it to be supposed that his compel
itor, defeated by such means, will acquicscei
''If the rebelm iority yassert their suprcm.
acy in those States, and send votes which
elect an enemy of the Government, will we
not repe his claims?
"And is not that civil war for tho Presi-
dency, inaugurated by the votes Of rebel
StatesY
This is grave warning to the country,
from two of the Presidents leading sup
porters, that he contcmplates clecting him
self by fraud, or when fairly beaten in the
loyal States, that he will refuse to abdicate
his authority, That there is justice in this
accusation, millionsof the people believe
for such have been his daring usurpations,
his contemptuous disregard of all laws and
Constitution, that there is no possible crime
that is likely to deter him from tho sratif
cation of his personal ambition.
These mock State organization in the So
cedcd States were not allowed to vote, ever
in the Convention that nominated him; an,
their votes will be Indignantly rejected n
, tho election, if he preSumcs to offer them
II Mr. Lincoln is beaten in the great State
| that adhere to the Union, out Of Office h
! must go, The game and conspiracy of neu
tralizing their votes by pretended election
in the rebel States, will never be peaceful
submitted to and if persisted in, will de
lugc the land in blood, in civil war for ii
Presidency.

The Shocking Mismanagement
of the National Affairs.

The Washington Chronicle is Govern
mcnt paper that only lives and exists by
Government stipend. It's the hand organ
of Abraham Lincoln. Yet so apparent are
the evils that now atilict us, so shocking is
the mismanagement Of our national affairs,
that even this journal, on the 18th of Au-
gust, felt constrained to make the most

The soldiers who are fighting your battles
are suffering for their pay, because of the
want of funds in the Treasury Their fam
lilies are suffering for food and clothing, be-
cause the soldier does not get his hard-ear-

and on our children double the debt there is
any necessity for, and running the risk of a
repudiated currency and dishonored ma

discount, and gold at Il premium. We are
adding daily to the prices of every leading
article, and imposing fearful advance on
the very necessarics Of life, thus necessita-

turn, conpes an increase in the price of

LtnCOln's War.

The war was once declared By Congress
and the President to be for the restoration
of the Union. With this object in view
willing soldiers thronged the highways--for
this the hum of the work shops was hushed
and the plow was left standing in the fur
row--for this two millions of brave men for
sock their homes and fresidcs-for this
the voice Of lamcntation ascends all over the
land But Lincoln, intent upon carrying
out his old idea, that the "Union cannot
exist half slave--half frec' now declares
the war shall 90 on until slavery is abolish
ed, State rights surrendered and the South
orn people extcrminated or converted to his
peculiar views. Once no bountes were
necessary to secure willing soldiers; now
no bribcs can induce men to enlist. 1t i:
the widow makers war-the people have
no heart in it.
