B-The efforts Of copperhead journals, and
we regret to say, of a few Union papers of ex-
ceedingly fast tendencies, to underrate the
prospects OF that honest man who fills the Ex-
ecutive chair of the nation, are as impotent as
the beating of gale OF wind upon noun
tain of granite. In our opinion there is but
one man in the country who can prevent
"Old Abe" from being our next President
and that man is one Abraham Lincoln. We
hope he may remain neutral.

The Poets OF Maine.

While neither poet nor the son of poet,
and claiming no qualifications emitting us to
critieise or sit in judgment upon works of
poetical character, We insist that no sweeter
words have ever been put into verse than
some of the contributions made to our Maine
poetry by David Barker, Esq, of Exeter, and
brother of Lewis Barker, Of the present House
of Representatives, of this State. Mr. B. has
written good many things, and since the
present war commenced has dashed oil few
things that will live as long as patriotism finds
Judgment in the human heart. His "Ship
of State" is one of these the empty Sleeve
is perhaps equally meritorious. On our last
page to-day we give a little piece - "The
Shepherd and the Lamb"--handed us few
days since by Mr.. Barker himself, which seems
to be perfect gem. 1t is different from most
of his recent efforts, is full of tenderness and
holy truth, while the idea-that the '1ittle
blue-eyed child" taken up to "the Mount of
God" lead the parents to the same mount
following the shepherds track" is surpass-
ingly beautiful We doubt if a single tender
hearted mother, who has had snatched from
her side a pet lamb of the household, will
read those touching lines without stopping to
clear away from the eye the film of unbidden
tears.
Mr.. Barker is poet Of nature. There is
nothing artificial about him. He never writes
to order, says he cannot do such thing He
writes when the inspiration comes over him,
upon such topics as impress his own heart,
and writing under such circumstances he is
sure to produce something that will find its
way to the heart of the reader. We thank
him for the little piece to which we have
called sr-riai notice, and hope to hear from
him again.

after the rebellion had reared its defiant from,
against the Government. Made too, be il re-
memoered, in az official correspondence, that our
minister at Paris nj gbt make known TO the world
that the Administration az Washington was not
engaged IN an aggressive wsr on the rights OF
the States, but in just and defensive war. ITO
maintain the Constitution and restore the
Union"
Mr.. Seward not only repudiates the existence
of any such power in the Constitution. but ur-
gently impresses on Mr.. Dayton's mind that
the Executive and 1.-THE citizens through whose
sufrages he came into the administration, had
always repudiated eli designs whateyer and
whenever imputed TO them of disturbing the in
stitu,ion of slavery as il exists under the Con.
stitution and laws" Observe the significant ad
mission that the system Of slavery exists under
the Constitution.
This is not the only proof We point to the
revocation BY the President, of the anti slavery
proclamation of General Fremont and his re
moval from Office for the professed reason that
that procls nation was in direct conflict with the
policy OF the administration. IL was at this time,
and after the unfortunate reverse to our arms at
Bull Run, that additional confidence was given
to the people by the adoption by the House, with
singular unanmtv, the 2lst of July. 1861,
of the celebrated Critienden resolution which
was in these words
THAT the present civil war was forced upon
the country by the disunonists in the Southern
States, VITO are now in rebellion against the con.
stitutional government: that in the present Ma
tionai emergency, we. the people of Hancock, in
convention assembled. forgetting all former DO
litical differences and recollecting only our duty
to the whole country, do pledge ourselves to and
with men aud money the vigorous prosecution of
the present war. which is not being waged upon
the part of our Government for the purpose Of
conquest. subjugation or the overthrowing or in
terfering with the rights or established nstitu-
tons OF the States, but to suppress and put down
wicked and causeless rebellion. defend and
maintain the supremacy OF the Constitution, and
to preserve the Unionwth all the dignity, equal
ity and rights of the several States unimpaired
and when these objects are fully accomplished.
and not before. we believe the war ought to
cease !"
On December IL, 1862, Mr. Lincoln wrote to
the Hon. Fernando Wood:
understanding the phrase in the paragraph
above quoted, the southern States would send
Representatives 10 the next Congress, to be sub.
stantaly the same that the people of the
southern States would cease resistance, and
would re inaugurate, submit TO, and maintain
the national authority within the limits Of such
States, under the Constitution of the United
States-l say that In such case the war should
cease on the part of the United States and that
If within a reasonable time "a full and general
amnesty were necessary 20 such end, il would
not he withheld"
