PooR OPINION OF LINCOLN. The New

purpose to support Lincoln. says:
"Without profound political convictions or
thoroughly digested system of policy, he lis
tens too patiently to mere schemers or men o
management and intrigue, and he either drifts
into the right course or assumes 1t with ar
embarrassed air, as if he took shelter iu it as 9

TIE CRrrTENDEN COMPROMISE. -Intelli
gent and thoughtful men concede that the
adoption of the Crittcnden Compromise
would have prevented disunion and war.
Is there an honest man in the land who
can place his hand upon his heart and SaS
he does not regret that it was rejected :?
We know the office holders of the Aboli
tion party would say they did not regret
it, but in speaking of honest men they
arc not counted in. The Compromise was
rejected by the party in power for the
sole purpose Of plunginG the country into

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.-The Washing.
ton Chronicle, the Court organ, edited by
the immaculate Forncy, has the following,
which shows our amiable President in no
unfavorable light in the eyes of his wor-
shippers. His sympathy for the near
relative Of his wife, who was convicted Of
a grave and objectionable crime, is en-.
couraging 10 other loyal thieves, This
fellow didn't plundcr the Government, he
only robbed ladies, in imitation of Butler,
Milroy, Curtis and host of other loyal
villains, and it would be brutal to punish
him for such a slight offcnSe. This, oil
itself, confirms the report that Washing
ton is rioting in corruption and that the
Administration winks at it. Read the
following:
1.-THE President has pardoned Capt Henry
Il. Todd, late Provost Marshal Of Washington,
who was convicted by court martial of roObIng
ladies of their irwelry and silver spoons
How wonderfully the reform Govern.

PROSPEROUS. Abolition speakers and
editors, in the employ of thieving shoddy
contractors, are endeavoring to make the
people believe. .that, in spite Of the war,
the;esuRtyy is prosperous, and to clinch
their statement, they refer to the high
price farmers get for their produce, mer.
chants for their goods and mechanics for
their work. Is this an evidence of pros.
perity? OF course it is, say AdminiStra-
ton minioNs! Well, if it is, how much
more prosperous is the South. Prices
are much higher there than here, and the
rise is attributable and justly to the same
cause.-the imitation Of the currency. Our
people persist in the fatal error that the
Southern people are starving because pro-
visions are high, when the truth is, pro-
visions and goods can be bought as low
in Richmond for gold as in New York. -
Pay for sack Of -four in greenbacks and
the amount is enormous-pay for it in
gold, and the increase would scarcely be
noticed, Notwithstanding the failure OF
the wheat crop. The masses are urged
to continue this war little longer, as the
rebels must soon be starved into submis,
sion, as their high prices indicate; while
those prices are but an exaggeration OF
what we call prosperity. A country can.
not be prosperous and must soon be bank
rupt, which is daily adding to its already
enormous debt four millions of dollars.

NEGRO VOTERS. Let every man not ut
terly demented by the 'loyal" fanatcism
Of the day, mark and reflect upon the full
meaning of the following paragraph from
the bre' letter sent by Ex-Secrctary
Chase to the recent Grant meeting in New
York. Chase is a power in the Admin.
istration party, and hint coming from
him carries with it more than ordinary
weight, and it is therefore worthy the
serious consideration Of every man who
is opposed to granting the right Of suf-
frage to negroes. Ballots must be placed
in the hands of negroes to keep the Abo-
lition party in power Without their as
sistance, Chase well knows,it cannot long
maintain its supremacy. Give them the
right to vote and to man they will sup.
port the Abolition party, keep it in pow
or, and dictate to the American people :
"Permit me to add that while VIC rejoice in
the success of our armies and give thanks to
God for them, we should not forget that there
is one class of defenders Of the flag -one class
of men loyal to the Union-in whom we yet
fail to do complete justice. 1t will be the mar
rel of future historians that statesmen of this
day were willing to risk the success Of rebellion
rather than intrust to black lOyalIsts bullets
and ballots"

THE BEAUTIES OF THE WAR-It is sci
dom that the sad picture of the war is
presented to the people; the bright side
is kept constantly before them to cncour-
age and delude them by false hopes. In
stead of alluding to the hardships and
sutFeringS of the poor soldiers, correSpon-
dents generally write about the brilliant
dash or "maSterly strategy" Of some Of
licer, or the high spirits, confidence and
enthusiasm Of the army. This is all
bosh. Experience proves that an army
which has been unsuccessful in all its
moves is dispirited, gloomy and greatly

GEN. BUTLER A MILITARY FAILURE. -
Gen. Butler has o genius for stealing, for
insulting females and for prosecuting de-
fenseless persons but not for 6ghting or
experimenting military operations. His
conquests are Of the thieying not of the
military order. He is great at making
charges-on the property of those in his
power, but not on the rebels Proudly
and instinctiyely he turns his back on
them. He is too "much of gentleman
to mcdSUre lancss %ith the poor white
trash of the South" When he comes in
contact with them he prudently "retires
to his intrenchments," and modestly but
defantly announces that be lis safe -
safety being his virtue. The army cor
respondent of the New York Times,
friendly to the retiring General, says -
"The statement that the battle Of the 10th
of June was only feint to cover the
small cavalry raid of Kauntz is too con-
tcmptibly absurd to need rcfutaton. No
one will be deceived by it. Gen. Buffers
campaign south of Richmond is ended,
and candor must admit, though with re-
grct, that it was a failure, and failure
attended with great loss of human life
and liub." The same correspondent,
speaking Of Buffers disposition of troops
in battle, says:
"The disposition Of General Buffers forces
the night before the battle, was very bad and
exceedingly unfortunate, he having u line OF
