True ExoUGu.-.General Sherma

True ENoUGu.--General Sherman,
sometime ago, issued an order to General
Burbridgc, in Kentucky, in which he
used the following remarkable language
"The fact is, that in our country, personal
liberty has been so well secured that public
safety is lost sight Of in our laws and institu-
tions; and the fact is, that we are thrown back
one hundred years in civilization, laws, and
everything else, and will go right straight to
Anarchy and the Devil. if somebody don't ar
rest our downward progress"
That impression is becoming very pre-
valent among the people, and as the FIRST
step to "arrest our downward progress, y
they propose to place in the Presidential
chair George B. Mcclellan. That We
"shnll so straight to the devil," to use the
expressive language of Sherman, il Lin.
coin and his horde Of Government swim.
dlers are continued in power four years
longer, is evident A change of policy
and Administration is necessary to save
the country from ruin. Lincoln is fail.
ure and his policy is driving the country
straight to the devil.

THE MCCLELLAN DEMONSTRATION. If
any man was in doubt yesterday, says the
San Francisco Argus of the 18th instant,
as to the result Of the vote in this city
next month. the magnificent ovation to
Mcclellan last night must have convinced
him that the metropolis is for Mcclellan
and the American Union. During our
residence here of fifteen years VIC have
never witnessed such q mighty gathering
Of the masses, marching on in solid col
uMn to the music Of the Union. It was
a voluntary tribute Of freemen to Liberty.
The spirit Of prophecy is on tho people !;
let the misguided friends of Mr.. Lincoln
take warning. The mighty masses are
in motion they are too brave and in
telligent to be made the hirelings Of any
despot, either North or South too no.
ole to be placed, like mastiffs, in q pit to
tear and rend each other forever, The
spirit of peace is on the people they
strike hands and be brothers again. Let
the friends Of Mr.. Lincoln mark the
prophecy.

ONLY Four MORE Mr.. Lincoln re.
Gently declared to two members of the
City Council Of Baltimore, that "hc only
asked for four years more Of war to abo.
ish slavery in every one Of the Southern
States Only four more' 1t would be
pleasant to know what the condition Of
the Month would be after only four more
such years as those through which we
have just passed. We don't believe the
people want four years more of war, con.
scription and suffering. Keep up the
war four years more, and the taxes, al.
ready burdensome, will be ruinous.

ALL FOR PEACE.-The Republicans are
fast becoming 'peace men, ut least the
honest men among them. 1t is no longer
"treasOn" to talk Of peace-no longer
treason to reject the Abolition policy oil
the President-no longer treason tc
charge that the war has been perverted
into an Abolition crusade. Thousands
are seeing and admitting that Lincoln's
policy ensures perpetual war, disuniOu
and ruin. Highly, the shoddy candidate
for Congress in this District, says nc
Slaveholding State shall be restored to the
Union, and he utters the sentiments o.
his party. The New Haven Conn,
Chronicle, Republican organ, in an ar
ticle on peace, writes the following sensi-
bic thoughts
"As peace is desirable, II should be earnest
ly sought for. The President desires peace
or he would never have had anything to dc
with the late peace movement. We all want
peace. big and little, great and small, Repub'
licans. Democrats and all. But we differ as to
the price we are willing to pay for the thing &C
much desired.
The President, IN his communication 'tC
whom it may concern laid down basis on
which he would listen to any communications
from the Rebel Government. His terms viii
never be accepted by the South. His PROPOSE
tions are an effectual bar against peace. He
must modify them somewhat, or he will never
be reelected President. Many of his warm
est friends are not desirous Of prolonging tht
war for the immediate purpose Of abOlishine
slavery. That is going TOO far. The blood
and treasure of the land are too precious u
throw in the balance against the existence Of {
state instituton-wben that institution is SC
weakened that it must die . natural death in
few years"

LINcoLN's PERFIDY.-In an article on
the subject Of peacG. how it has been per-
verted, and how it can be terminated, the
Buffalo N ~ COumercid says: The
North catered upOa the present struggle
with the declared purpose Of maintaining
the Union. President Lincoln, in his in.
augural. uttered sentiments which would
to-day be entirely satisfactory to the South
as basis of peace" But the National
faith, pledged BY Lincoln in his inaugural
and by Congress 10 its solemn resolutions,
which Lincoln indOrsed, has been violated,
%c!4t. ".h->> =. H''.eA- -%--=" N~-~ s~~'sA thR
stuIti6cation which was then enacted
The war, as Thurlow Weed has pbrased
il, thus becomes Q war for abolition. Lin.
coin does not even pretend to be carrying
it on for the purpose Of maintaining the
Union; he is willing to end it the mo.
ment the South consents to abolish slave
ry. To carry into effect the doctrines Oi
John Brown. William Lloyd Garrison and
Abraham Lincoln, the country must be
bankrupted and the blood of white mer
must flow like waterl The Democracy
do not believe in Lincoln's negro policy
and they will change it on the 4th o.
March next, and restore peace. They
will observe the National faith pledged BY
Congress in its resolutions, and by OBJ
serving it will restore the Union. Lincoln
cannot be trusted he has broken bis
promises and pledges and will do so agair
whenever it suits his purposes or his par
tv demands it.

ABOLITION NeErrNo.-Last Saturday night
Highly, the shoddy candidate for Congress
bored small number of loyalists of this city
With sickIy Abolition haraugue. Crane was
announced to speak with Highly, but disgusted
ct The slim meeting, ''backed out" Highly
talked against time, and soon wearied the
faithful. They walked about uneasiIy, and
Whispered loud enough for the speaker to hear
them, "why doesn't he cry up" Higby's ha.
rsngue was reasonable and disgraceful he
despised the old Union, was opposed to It's res.
toratiOu, and "would not allow the slave
States to return to their allegiance unless they
abolished slavery" He eulOgized the negroes
and was In "favor of granting them equal
rights with white men," His speech was
made up Of such stuff, and it disguised his
political friends. many Of whom left before be
concluded. Not cheer escaped from the lips
of any Of them. Carpenter and Sam En-
sminger closed the performance. 1t was the
smallest, dullest, quietsst meeting we have
erer 0een in our town. n.

WoRDs OF WAsnISGroN.-H Have the peo.
pie lost their virtue and intelligence, that
they will consent to the reelection OF
Lincoln. who has been so completely
stultified and condemned out of his own
mouth? Wade and Davis, prominent
and influential members Of his own party,
over their own signatures, convict him Of
usurpation and tyranny. That great and
good man, that far seeing statesman-the
Father of his country-George Washing
ton, apprehended dangers such as have
come upon the country by the elevation
of such a successor as Lincoln to his
chair, when he said in his farewell ad-
dress to his countrymen, speaking of the
preservation Of our Government in its
then happy state:
Resist with care the spirit Of innovation
upon its principles, however specious the pre-.
text. One method Of assault may be TO effect
in the forms Of the Constitution alterations
which will impair the energy Of the system,
and thus to undermine what cannot be directly
overthrown. The spirit of en-.
croachmeut tends to consolidate the powers OF
all the Departments in one and thus to create,
whatever the form Of the Government, a real
despotism."
Prophetic words! Could a trrcr pic
ture of government under Lincoln, who
assumes to absorb in his person all the
functions of the Executive, Legislative
and judicial branches, be drawn? Are
we not drifting, under Lincoln, toward a
"real despotism"? Washington contin.
ues, Immediately after the words last
quoted:
"a just estimate Of that love Of power and
proneness to abuse it which predominant in
the human heart, is sufficient to justify us OF
the truth of this position. Let there be no
change by usurpation; foT though this in one
instance may be the instrument Of good. it is
the customary weapon by which free govern
ments are destroyed The precedent must al
ways greatly ovcrbalance in permanent evil
any partial or transient benefit which it can at
any time yield"
Reader, take George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln to your thoughtful con-
sideration, and determine for yourself
whether you will follow the patriotic
teachings Of the former, or aid in the
wicked and traitorous usurpations of the
latter.

FRIGHTFUL ExTRAVAGANCE OR CoRRUP-
TIoN.-In the gigantic wars early in this
century, @hich resulted in the overthrow
Of lhe gtat Napoleon. the whole army
expenses Of Great Britain were not above
ninety rilIions Of dollars year. When
the Democrats were in power, and we
we're fighting Great Britain in the war of
1912, the espsnses Of our army averaged
less than twenty millions Of dollars a
year; an amount that Lincoln spends in
less than week. In the Mexican war,
under Democratic Administration, when
We sNyAeS+NA - N. N,for~igU. Ge49s
try, and Scott led bis victorious legions
from Vera Cruz to the City Of Mexico,
the expenditures Of the War epartment
averaged less than thirty millions Of dol
lars annually. But Democrats we're then
in pOwer-and now, under the Abolition
plundering system, We have War Depart
ment expenses Of more than . thousand
millions yearl It is not the policy Of
the Administration party that anything
effectual should be done, that peace should
be made, for the longer the war lasts the
greater the grab. So long as the friends
Of the Administration, shOddy thieves and
hireIing editors and speakers, can become
rich on the misery Of the masses, what
motive have those in power to make peaceG
The greatest misfortune that could hap.
pen to them would bc the disbNnding Of
the army, and no more contracts to be

hope to keep him in power, knowing that
the war will last as long as he is Presi.

swindling contracts for their support
Lincoln has squandered hundreds of mill

VAIN HoPE.-The Abolition managers
hope for success, not from their own
strength, the popularity Of their candidate
or the sapprOval Of their policy BY thsPeo'
pie, but from divisioa among their OppO-
nents. This is apparent from both their
talk and their actions. This is Lincoln's
calculation. He is reported to have said
that the quaFrels Of the Democrats would
elect him as surely in 1864 IS they did in
1850. But we hope and believe that this
will prove a grOundless and fatal delusiOn.
The patriotic Democracy will not permit

tai experiment Of 1860. The Chicago
Convention has been held and it has pre-
sented candidates and q platform accept
able to Democrats, and they are united,
harmonious and enthusiastic. Lincoln
hoped and his followers predicted that the
Convention would split that the Democ-
racy would again have two candidates
and that no platform could be adopted
that would be acceptable to the entire
party. Since the adjournment Of the Con-
vention they have discovered their error ;
they have discovered that both the candi-
date and the platform have given m.
bounded satisfaction and aroused the wild
est enthusiasm; they have discovered that
moderate Republicans and nearly the
whole party that supported Bell and Eve
rett, are rallying under the Democratic
flag; they have discovered that vas,
number OF "War" Democrats, who were
deceived and misled by Lincoln's inSincere
professions of devotion to the Union, are
afiliAting with their old party and friends
This encourages the Democracy and
makes them confident Of victory; this dis
heartens the Lincolnites and convinceS
them that their defeat is inevitable.

No PEAcE-LincOln says he will not
talk OF peace until the South will consent
to abandon slavery. He thus places the
freedom Of the negro above the restoration
and perpetuity Of the Union-abOve the
prosperity and happiness Of the white
race. He has no right to require the
South to abolish slavery, and the South
will never do so. So we must 6ght on.
