dental candidates. Thus far at least the
developments are amusiugfif not instruc-
tive. The eugerpess with which the DEM
ocra.s catch up aud repeat Republican OBJ.
iectiOns to Mr.. Lincoln is very funny (;
haven't they been saying just so all along
and what's more, suffered uudlsr the re-
prOach of treason, or conditional loyalty
for this very thtug! Thus the New York
Journal OF Commerce tays:
" The doctrine came to be accepted by
the dominant party in the country, and
preached 10 pulpits and announced on plat
forms everywhere that he was traitor
who disapProved the policy of the present
administration. We foresaw that lopp
before the close of Mr.. Lincoln's Presiden
tial term many who had advocated this
doctrine would see its follacy, and repu
dtate it. That timei already here. From
all parts of the country, from bank officers,
hnauciers, farmers, mechanics, from law
yers and professional men, from political
clubs aud organizations of various kinds
are coming protests and various forms Of
opposition to the administration of Mr..
Lincoln" ,J. ~, ,',i,,l5s. 5.r,. N.
The cleverest presidential brochure yet
ont is an argumentum. qd 6o1niaen appeal TO
Mr., Lincoln by Mr.. Gr9ely In the New
York Independent, mildly Suggesting that
for his own sake he had better take him,
self out of the way thus:
"Were he now to announce his peremp.
tory Withdrawal from public life on the.
4th of March, 1865, the closing year off
preside atthf term would be one of the
Proudest and happiest OF his life. Il
would no longer be any ones interest TO
assail or tradute him. The base sugkes.
lions that he was protracting the war to
serve his own ambition would be rebuked,
even by those who.4now Treiterateit. He
"onlu DO surrounded by general manifes-
taIons of love and gratitude which no
served, Hisserfors would sybe forgotten;
his virtues would be magnifed and dweit
spopi and all would be disposed to make
the close of his official career as pleasant
as it's opening was ominous aud its general
course Eempestuous."
This is all very 6ne, and disiuterested of
course, but while the republican legisla-
lures and state conventions are SO. ganer-
ally declaring for Mr. Lincoln's re. election,
it is not likely he will feel the force of any
such bfaruey." II he does as ii w5teli another
four years. he may naturally think, why
may he not .bOps,to go out ipst, as proudly
aud happily then, if not more so2 Mr..
Greedy might. have added verbal force to his
appeal by taking on his old reserve OF the
"twenty uiilious" as bsckets; As it is, We
doubt whether III will accomplish more
than to remind Mr.. Lincoln of several
little stories.
ah 1t is rl9W the cue of the Chase men to
push tie POmeroy circular out Of sight
and pretend that it means nOthiRg. . A
newspaper in his Interest stupidly suggests
that it was probably a little private specG.
'lation of Pomefeyla and that he ddsd the
title OF "executiye national commisteel' to
give dignity to it. 'Not by no meaps.''-
There is such a eomuittee, aud now that
their operation is made public, 1t will be
their best policy to show themselves; IL
not they wnIifnevitably i6e smoked ioat;
which will be less agreeable.
