Par sIDENT LINCOLN.

The popular sentiment Of the country is
manifesting itself with marked unanimity,
emphasis and earnestness everywhere, in
favor Of ABRAHAM LINCOLN for reelection
to he Office he now fills with such distn-
guished honor, courage and ability. In the
discharge of the trying and difficult duties
he has thus far been called upon to meet, he
has shown SO much of honesty and true
heroism, that no one who loves his country
ts willing 10 risk its future prosperity and
happiness in any other hands, or TO the keep
ing of any untred leader, while the services
uf the great and good chieliain, who has led
The nation succcssahRy through the sea of
treason and rebellion that has dashed upon
its once peaceful shores, are at all attain
able, The North, the South, the Fast and
the West are alike clamorous for his re-
election, and overstepping all the usual rules
and formalties Of partizan conventions and
cAucuses, the people through their Legis-
atures and other organized assemblies de-
clare that MIR. LINCOLN is the mar Of their
choice the true, tried and faithful patriot
in whose administration they recognise wis
dom, craftsmanship heroic courage and I'M
swervng fidelity to the Constitution and
flag of the Union.
And, moreover, the nation feels that, in
all Mr. LINcoIN's acts and doings for the
redemption aud glory of the Republic, the
finger of God is visible that a heavenl,
watch and guardianship is constantly throw
around his steps; that divine wisdom ant
favor attend all his counsels aud movements,
to the end that order shall come out of tn,
great national chaos that now surrounds us
that Liberty shall everywhere Throughout
the land supplant slavery; that Civilization
shall swallow up the last vestige of moderi
barbarlsm aud ignorance, and that Peace
bright, glorious, permanent and honorable
shall henceforth and forever cast lis golde
beams of prosperity all over the pathway q
this regenerated and redeemed land, an
show to the nations of the earth how powe
! fol and mighty Truth end Justice are in III

Hon. N, B. Smithers, our talented Repre-
sentative in Congress, addressed the House
on Wednesday last. He expressed his views
on the joint resolution amendatory of the
confscation act. He commended for the full
power to inflct punishment on traitors
He had no such mawkish sympathyas would
induce him to withhold the forfeiture OF
rebel estates. The permanence of the Union
would be we'll served and guaranteed by
visiting on the wicked leaders u confiscation
of their estates and political rights while
extending amnesty to the masses who have
been deceived and by bayonets driven into
rebellion. This was no sudden outbreak on
the part of the rebels, like the whisky or
Shays rebellion. 1t was not the result of
gross wrongs, but deliberate intention to
overthrow beneticent government.
He paid his respects to Fernando Wood,
and declared that the opinions expressed by
that gentleman would have the effect oil
paralyzing the war. The rebels would not
have essayed secession if they had not been
led to believe that they could go in peace.
Mr.. Wood, under the guise of peace, was
the most efficient promoter of war. Mr.
Smithers was listened to with great deal
of attention

the building embraces more conveniences,
business and social. than are to be found in any
similar institotion In the world. 1t has
bourse for the transaction Of stock operations,
and meeting rooms for the leading commercial
interests. In Its social features no other club
that we know Of can compare with it. Out Of
the six hundred members to which IL Is limited
four hundred are already on the books, whilst
among its honorary members are included
the diplomatic corps and most Of our leading
literary men. Here will be found society and
cuisine very different from those Of the Union
Club, where old iogyism and bad cooking
have long Wed with each other. II the insti
tuition continues to be conducted on the liberal
plan on which 1t has been started, 1t will soor

possesses all their distinctive features, 1t com

Mr. LIncolns Presidential arrangements, and
he was sensitive In relation to those. Some
such generals were therefore retained, because
their dismissal would cause the dsanection Of
large GLASS Of voters. and endanger the
Presidents chances In that way; and others
were retained lest by their dismissal they
should themselves become formidable cand-
dates for the Presidency. And for reasons like
these the President suffered this great, perhaps
vital. campaign In Virginia to begin with two
important parts Of the army under the COM
mand OF men whom he knew to be unfit for
their positions.
Our operations In Virginia now 60 on slowly;
but we do not doubt of their success. Yet,
II they should fail to bring this campaign
to a speedy and decisive conclusion against
the rebellion, Mr. Lincoln will be as crimi
nally responsible for that failure as he has
been for every failure Of our armies hither-
to; for, If we fail, it will be on account OF the
incapacity Of Butler and Sigel. If, in 1862,
General Mcclellan could have marched to
Peninsula, he could have taken that city at
once. But the embarrassments thrown In his
way by the President kept him away from
Richmond until Davis could concentrate
enough men from all parts of the South
to defy our efforts for the capture Of his
capital. And what is the difficulty nowf II
the operations of Butler and Sigel had been
properly carried out Lee would ere this have
been decisvely beaten or shut up in Richmond;
but the failure of those operations has caused
bad delay. If that delay should enable Davis
to greatly strengthen Lee-from Johnston's
army or elsewhere-and thus prolong our pre-
sent operations in Virginia, without securing
the complete suppression Of the rebellion
during the present summer, then, from the
appointment of Butler and Sigel to COM
mands in Virginia, Abraham Lincoln is the
one man whom the American people must
hold responsible for this great disappointment
Of their just expectations.
