SHALL THERE BE WAR?-The newspa.
pers generally are predicting that, the Lon
don Conference having rejected the pacific
overtures Of Great Britain, the latter power
will commence a war with Germany in aid
Of Denmark. We do not agree with our
contemporaries. France has resolved not
to interfere in the imbroglio. Great Britain
will not 60 to war for an abstraction, and
with such powers as Austria and Prussia,
leaving her powerful ally, Louis Napoleon,
whom she so much distrusts, to sit quietly
looking on, ready to take advantage, at his
leisure, Of her moment Of greatest embar
rassment and exhaustion. Great Britain
could not step, with armed hand, into tn.
arena Of dispute on this occasion, withou,
eventually producing complications calcu.
lated to create a general European war
Poland, Hungary, Italy, would all perceive
in the struggle their opportunity for nation
al redemption. Russia would take sides
with Germany. On which side would floa
the banner of France? That is the impor
tant question:; and, however desirOus
Britain may be to preserve her self frespec
and vindicate her authority, we shall no
believe, until we see it.. that her presen
government, or any other administration o
it, will venture to introduce war Of sucl
a magnitude until fully convinced that they
may answer that question satisfactorily -
We may be in error, Of course, but that i
our present impression. The news by tn
next steamer will probably determine tn
point at issue.-N. Y. Sunday Times.

Mr.. LINCOLN A CoPYIsT.-An abolition
list, one of the old schoOl-one who voted
for and supported Mr. Lincoln in 1860
remarked to us the other day that Mr.. Lin.
coin was mere copyist, and that it was
his opinion that he and jeff Davis bad
been carrying on the war on joint account
since its inauguration. In proof thereof he
ran parallel between the administrations
Of the two individuals. Said he, jeff
started out to raise armies by volunteering,
and Honest Old Abe did the same thing
Next jeff bad recourse to conscript;en4;0r ;0r
soldiers, and Abe followed closely in his
footsteps. JEFF resorted to Treasury notes
to raise means to carry on the war, and
Mr.. Lincoln adopted the same financial
policy. jeff issued a proclamation for a
day Of fasting and prayer, and right upon
its heels similar document came from
Abraham. And to crown the climax, the
other day the rebel President discharged
his Secretary of the Treasury, and almost
as soon as the fact became known, our
President gave Mr.. Chase his walking
papers.
Certainly those condolences are some.
what remarkable, and they confirm the
view Of our abolition friend, that Mr.. Lin.
coin follows as closely as possible the policy
adopted by the head and front Of the re.
bellion.-Stdte Sentinel, Ind.

John w. E0rney I'm 1855.

OVsAA3 UA my AAA Acoos
The Easton Argus has unearthed a PAM
phlet speech of Col. John w. Forney's in
1866 on Religious intolerance and political
prescription which will bear reading at the
present time. Here is what he said before
he was bought and paid for:
1--WE find unchurched clergy men con-
tending in the party field, proscriptive dem,
agogucs ignoring oil the ideas of genuine
patriotism and the immunities secured by
the sacred blood and the written constitu-
tons Of the past, postponed and sacrificed
by a narrow and bigoted Nativism which
like a rank weed that grows in the dark or
luxurates between the walls oc prison is
baleful to the eye and poisonous to the
touch. We are rapidly unlearning the
great lessons taught by history and We find
a party in our midst bent on the establish
ment of the same tyranny from which our
fathers fed. i y
So that it will be perceived while abolition.
ism marks its career not only by forcible
resistance to the statutes Of Congress, but
in filling Christian denominations with dis.
cord and unhappiness. by giving promi
nence to infidels like Garrison and to trai
tors like Wendell Phillips; on the other
hand Know Nothingism initiating closely
the example Of its dark ally writes its
record in the bloodiest defiance of the most
solemn covenants of law and religion.
What is there in our happy country to
make men afraid Of the light of day and of
honest inquiry. Have We conscript law
that tears the husbandman from his plow,
the father from his family, the son from his
widowed mother, to 60 forth and act as
gladiators for the amusement of few ambi-
tious Kings? Have We gang of hired tax
gatherers to drain the sustenance Of the
people? Have we laws for the rich and
stripes for the poor? Is our President an
Atnla or Caligula? Is our Senate coun-
Gil of Ten? Is our House of Representa-
tives body Of tyrants armed with power
to ravish and destroy! Secret combina-
tisns against such wrong would be justifi
able and right, for We are taught the grea,
lesson that resistance to tyrants is obedi
ence to God"
