toanswer me two questions honestly [ viii
take your advice (for I suppose you mean
it - advice into consideration, and if it

The c0ppsrhead assented to the proposal.
'sWell, them said the widow, .sdo YOU
really desire the putting down Of the re-
bellion?' of course Ido.' said the fault
finder indignantly, but colo-ing to his tenn
pies. The widow now fell back to her sec.

A Point Well Put,

The Rochester Democrat, in an article
touching the constantly reiterated as,
sumption that this is an "aboliton war" +"
puts the case in the following clear and
pointed manner:
"The statement that this war is an
abolition War; is the merest twaddle
whose impudent iteration ought not to
impose upon even an idiot If the war
on our part is simply q var for the eman-
cipation of the negroes, then on The part
of the rebels, it must be simply war to
prevent emancipation. Is that all they
are fighting for? On the contrary, they
are fighting for the purpose and in the
hope of stripping the Republic of terrific
ry enough to make twenty states as large
as New York-of stripping her of all that
lies between the Potomac aod Ohio on the
north, and the Gulf aud the Rio Graude
on the south. That is their object and
their avowed aim They are erdeavoring
to dismember our country, and President
Lincoln aud the armies of the United
States are striving to prevent that dis
memberment, striving to keep the coun-
try united and to keep the flag of the
Union supreme over all its ancient do
main. y ri:
"The demagogues and traitors " no cal
this IAN abolition war, know fill we'll ths
falsity of their cry. They snow that il
would be just as reasonable to call il
merely "a oottnn war because the Gov
ernment selzes cott.o wherever Ii can b,
