The Election of Mr. Lincoln a de-
Iiberate Declaration i'm Favor of


From Tho Richmond Sentinel. Nov l2l
There is one view in which the re-elec-
ton of Lincoln produces feelings of sad
ness and regret. 1t is the official declara-
ton of great people that they will not
only have war against us, but war In its
most barbarous and most malignant form;
that not only will they exert their strength
against us for our ruin, but they will prac.
tice those cruelties which produce indi-
vidual misery, though adding nothing to
military efficiency; that they will have war
without those amenities which civilization
enjoins and the sanction of the Christian
world has consecrated; that in short they
will have such war as Lincoln wages, al
though inefficient, sooner than they will
have more vigorous and effective war,
such as the honor of thoroughbred SOL
dier and the rules of civilized war would
prescribe to Mcclellan.
We say it is sad that the evil design en-
tertained against us should be marked by
such deliberate depravity in the attempted
execution. But perhaps this also is for our
good. 1t deepens and widens the gulf be-
tween us, and renders our success more cer-
tain by rendering failure more dreadful and
intolerablc. Every charred homestead is a
fresh warning to our people that they must
never be conquered, but must rather fight
forever. The sun, In the fable, by its gen
tie influences soon induced the traveller to
part with his cloak, while he answered to
the rude demands of the piercing wind by
wrapping it the more closely about him
These, perhaps, might stand for Mcclellan
and Lincoln, with their different rules ol
honor and modes of warfare. Let us pre-
fer the violence which warns us of our enc
NV and rouses us to meet him, to the &C.
dIctions which might betray us to oui
ruin.
The result Of the Presidential election is q
declaration Of four years more Of such ,odr al
| Lincoln sodoes. Our enemies thus exhibit
their diabolical spirit, and the resolution

A TOLEDO Abolition paper-chiehy no.
table for propensity to quibble at every
thing and discuss nothing-is Mortified that
The STATESMAN should have the audacity
to entertain and express an opinion in re-
lation to the capture of the rebel privateer
Florida, before The Government bad express
ed lis opinion. That obseguious sheet seems
to assume that white men have no right to
entertain opinions unless permitted to do so
by the Administration of which it is an ap-
propriate organ. The Toledo paper regards
the capture of the Florida as an act (which
all loyal Americans and friends of Free
dom can heartily approve"-and ergo all
who cannot approve the act are ''disloyal"
and 'enemies of freedom" The same pa
per argues that all "loyal citizens, who
have not been sufficiently advised of the
facts in the case to warrant an intelligent
judgment" should wait until the Admins.
ltration shall have announced its determine
tion, and then cordially support that under
the pains and penalties attached to treason.
it is In this spirit OF servility and fiunkey-
ism that Abolition journals would have the
American press conducted-a spirit which
would prevent the readers of newspapers
from having an opinion upon any subject
until the opinion had been passed upon and
pronounced orthodox by the servants of the
people. Such Journalists would attain hon.
ors In France, but they are not fit instruc-
tors in o Republic.

The vindictive Abolition journals thirst
for further prosecutions and more despotic
arrests. The New York Tribune announces
that "orders of arrest have been issued for
q number of Ohio election commissioners
Of Copperhead persuasion, said to have
been guilty Of initiating the Colonel NORTH
aud other New York State Agent rascali-
ties.n We were not aware that there were
election commissioners from Ohio sent to
the army; but If there were any such, they
were certainly not Copperheads. Gov.
BRouaH appointed and commissioned all
the agents that were sent to the army, and
his virtuous hatred Of Copperheads Is a
sufficient guarantee that he appointed none
Of chat class. If there was any rascality in
the soldier vote of Ohio, it Is not difficult to
tell what political party Is responsible for
it-and 1t isnot the Democratic party. The
Abolitionists regarded it as a great privi-
lege granted "Copperheads," when they
were allowed to send tickets to soldiers
In one Instance an Ohio Democratic Colonel
running for Congress could not get ticket:
70 his own regiments clear case of ras.
cality on the part of some one not Dem.

perheads should be arrested to prevent toe

The Presidential victory a Disus-

The late Presidential election is the only
one in our history in which there were no
general rejoicings by the victors. 1t has
been the habit of parties successful in
presidential contest to make the country
ring with their jubilations; but in the case
OF the reelection of LINCOLN, there was
not heart enough left in his followers to get
mp show Of enthusiasm or the hollow pre-
tense of rejoicing. The fanatics of Boston
had meeting at which SUMNER read a
malignant essay; the Government office
holders serenaded their masters in WASH
ington and we're rewarded with speeches
from LINCOLN, SEWARD and WELLEs; and
the Custom House officials Of New York
held spiritless meeting under the style
and title of jubilee; but in the west, and
among the masses of the people everywhere,
there have been no such demonstrations Of
joy at LrNcoLN's triumph, as there would
have been II there was reason to hope
that his election would realize the promises
of good 10 the country which his friends
and partisans held out to the people as in
ducements to vote for their candidate. The
phenomenon is easily explained. Those
who were most ardently and honestly
for Mr.. LINCOLN, now that the heat and
passion of the Presidential campaign have,
in manner, abated, begin to realize, what
before they refused to listen to, that Mr..
LrNcoLN's policies are the great obstacle
to the conclusion of the war or the restora-
tion of the Union. They begin to perceive
that the difficulties confronting the Admin
istration, made doubly onerous by the mode
In which the Administration conducts the |
war, promise to break down both the Abo-
lition party and the country. Tens of
thousands of honest men voted for LINCOLN
In the full expectation Of realizing SEW
ARDS prophecy that ''the election would
ill the rebels with dismav, and their Con-
federacy would immediately fall to pieces"
This delusion was the first one exploded;
the rebellion is as defiant as of old, while
its animosity Is more bitter; our debt is
increasing at the rate of three millions per
day, despite an increase Of taxation; our
armies are being depleted by the expira-
tion of terms of enlistment; the future is
big with enormous conscriptions. and all
things import the continuance of this ex-
haustive war until the last support gives
way, and we can neither continue it with
hope ofsuccess nor retire from it with credit.
It Is the manifest, unavoidable threaten
ing presence of these facts which torbids
any attempt at party Publications, and fills
the land with the gloom that seems the
shadow of disaster.
