The Trying Time.

The New York Times, the only open
advocate for LINCOLN in New York, is get
ting alarmed. In its issue of the 18th it
has an article headed "The trying time
for the Union [L1NooLN] party, which is
made up of most dolorous wines over the
political situation, pathetic appeals to the
faithful to stand firm, and ludicrous apollo
gies for L1NCoLN's objectionable blunders
and crimes, which are mildly denominated
"errors" The Times says: "These i'm
PROJECTIONS, incident to all humanity, will
be used, with not little effect, to chill
the ardor Of every good man for the
cause" But the Times promises that
these and other "errors shall be avoided
during LINcoIN's next term, but is evil
IDENTIFY laboring under the belief that LIN
COLIN has lost the confidence of portion
of the party. This article of the Times is
of such character as never would have
appeared in that journal if L1NooLN's pros
poets we're not waning every day, and
growing more hopeless.

Desperate Shifts.

The Lincoln party is reduced to the last
extremity for devices calculated to awak-
en- popular sentiment into favor for the
administration. For instance, we read in
Lincoln journal that there is on foot now
san expedition which if successful, will
electrify the whole country-men, women
and children, from Maine to California,
will join in the glorious acclaim: the ma
ton will rejoice, and suffering humanity
throughout the world will be eclipsed with
joy" This sort of thing we have heard
before. It has an ancient and fsh-like
favor. 1t has played out, in word. and
won't do. Enthusiasm for LINCOLN is
dead, and not all the apparatus that can
be put in operation at Washington can
galvanize it into emitting one sickly hur-
rah for the defuct rail-splitte-.

The Opportunity Thrown Away.

The St. Louis Union is another promi-
nent Republican journal which dissents
from Mr.. L1NcoLN's Niagara sine qua non,
and declares that I" it is useless to disguise
the fact that this action of the President
has been used by his enemies with the
most damaging effect" The Union pro-
poses, as matter Of public bipartisan, we
presume, is meant,] policy, the sending
of commissioners to Richmond, and offer
ing the revolted people an opportunity for
"peace talk" In case an overture of
this kind should be met with conditions
utterly inconsistent with our honor as a
nation, the Union thinks this fact alone
would disarm the whole opposition to MIR.
LINCOLN in the North, and breed schism
and contention in the South" This is
exa city the view Mr.. GREELEY had of the
matter; but the opportunity was foolishly
thrown away by LINCOLN, and it is now
too late for him to retrieve that which
was lost by his own folly.

Stewards BELL.

We hear occasionally Of Secretary Stewards
little bell, whose tinkle, by the Presidents per-
mission, sends any person unheard to dun
geon. But nobody knows, and nobody wishes
to know more than the President and the Sec
rotary, that twenty million pairs of eyes watch
that little bell, and its tinkle is effective only
because the people who look with those eyes
see that the bell is rung to save their liberties
not to secure their slavery.
These remarks are taken from Harper's
Weekly, a sheet which, after the secession
OF the Southern States, and just previous
to the firing on Sumter, published portraits
and 1attering biographies of the leaders of
the rebellion. 1t was afraid it would lose
Southern patronage. When the war cut
off its Southern subscribers, it went over
to abolition, and advocated negro insur-
rections.
1t is fitting paper to rejoice that man
boasts that he can, by tap of bell. with.
out any of the formalities of law, consion
an American citizen to dungeon.

The abolition press is busily engaged
in proving to what are termed "Peace
Democrats" that Gen. McClsllan is no
man for them to support-that he has
been as much war man as Lincoln, and
has "supported the Government in the es-
sential points of its policy. For instance
the New York Tribune says, speaking Of
the so-called "Peace men:
Those who so hold can only in the last re-
sort support Gen. Mcclellan, a Union War vol
unteer, who not only invaded Virginia,
but recommended a Federal CONSUMPTION, and
ordered the arrest of the traitorous Maryland
Legislature. However Thoroughly for Peace y
Gen. NJ. may now proclaim himself he has a
very ugly record for Copperhead of the May
or Wood and Frank Pierce variety; and these
are not only numerous but very headstrong,
and seem to be on the increase.
We put these disinterested eulogies of
Mcclellan and admissions as to the sound
ness of his '1oyalty," on record for future
reference. The time may come soon when
they, will not be pleasant reading for the
supporters of Abraham.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT


The New York Journal Of Commerce,
which represents more accurately than
any other journal the commercial and
monetary interests of the country, in its
issue of the 18th says:
The market is inactive, and financial affairs
are drifting, with no resolute hand on the helm,
and no guiding compass. The most sagacious
to the future, not being able to see what is
likely to befall us. The most hopeful think
that the Washington authorities will encOur-
age the people to talk Of peace; as some sup
pose, to aid the unconditional peace men to
create confusion at the Chicago Convention
OF the people, and encourage them
with a vain hope until after the election.
The least hopeful look in the contrary d.
rectiOn, and predict that Mr.. Lincoln will
displace Stanton to make room for Butler, or a
similar INSCRIPTIONS man, and will then de-
clare martial law not only here under pretence
of putting down resistance to the draft, or for
some similar reason, but also throughout the
West and Northwest, for which, if the "con-
spiracy cannot serve as an excuse, provOca-
ton could be readily found in a row of some
sort easily eXtempOrised. These fearful souls
believe that such scheme has been considered,
and that desperate measure of this sort will

indications are decided that the reelection of
the present incumbent is hopeless under any
other policy. These wild fancies occupy mems
minds, and prevent to some extent an atten-
ton to business.
The above accords, as far as il goes,
with private information from leading
citizens Of our own State who have just
returned from the East But they add to
what may be inferred from the above ar
ticle, that among financial men, Republi-
cans as well as Democrats, there is an
utter want of confidence in Mr.. L1NCoLNs
administration, and their ability to either
successfully conduct the war or to make
an honorable peace. Leading Republic
can bankers and merchants consider Mr..
LINCOLN failure, and will eagerly sup
port any conservative man in opposition
to him for the Presidency. The change
of sentiment within few months, and
particularly since the missive "to whom
it may concern" was issued has been
truly wonderful.

A Question for the LOyalfsts.

Resolved, That the maintenance inviolate of
of each State to order and control its own DO
nestle institutions according to its own iude-
ment exclusively, is essential to that balance Of
power on which the perfection and endurance
of our political fabric depend; and we de-
nounce the lawless invasion by armed force of
the soil of any State or Territory, no matter
under what pretext, as among the gravest of
crimes.
Suppose the Chicago Convention were
to adopt the foregoing resolution, would
not the cry of Copperheadism be loudly
raised2 Yet that resolution vas in the
platform of the Republican Convention,
which four years ago nominated LINCOLN
and HAA1IN at Chicago.

The Wheat Crop.

We notice statement going the rounds
of the Eastern press, concerning the gen.
eral yield of crops, that "the best esti-
mate that can be made gives Minnesota
100000 bushels above an average yield. p"
This is great mistake. Owing to the
great drain of labor into the army the
area sown was not SO large as in previous
years, and on account of the drouth, not
more than two-thirds the average yield to
the acre was produced. In some portions
of the State there was an average yield,
while in others, there was not half crop.

The Nismanaeement Of National
Affairs.

The Washington Chronicle is govern
ment paper that only lives and exists by
Government stipend. It is the hand Or
gan of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Yet 50 appa-
rent are the evils that now afHict us, 30
shocking is the Encouragement of our
national affairs, that even this journal on
the 4th instant, felt constrained to make
the most damaging admissions to it's pat
rons. 1t says:
The Government is paying to-day, two
dollars and half for every dollars
worth Of material it is buying to carry on
this war. The soldiers who are fighting
our battles are suffering for their pay be-
cause of the want of funds in the Treas
ury. Their families are suffering for food
and clothing, because the soldier does not
get his hard earned wages. We are en-
failing on ourselves and on our children
double the debt there is any necessity for,
and running the risk Of repudiated cur
rency and dishonored national credit,
because greenbacks are at a discount, and
gold at premium. We are adding daily
to the prices Of every leading article, and
imposing a fearful advance on the very
necessaries of life, thus necessitating con-
slant advance in wages, which, in turn,
compels an increase in the price of goods,
and the end will evidently be national
bankruptcy, fearful financial crash, IN
less this terrible enhancement of value is
arrasted.
Better arguments for change of rulers
and change of policy could not be ad-
duced.

The Cincinnati Gazette of Friday con-
tains in it's Washington dispatch the fol-
lowing:
A few days since a meeting Of leading men
of New England, Republicans, was held in
Boston, at which Secretary Fessenden and
Senator Wilson were present. At this meet
ing the conclusion was reached that the war
had arrived at that stage when it was absO-
lutely necessary that, in obedience to the gen.
eral sentiment of the people, something should
be done to show disposition on the part of the
government to discontinue the war, and that
for this purpose necessary steps should be taken
to tender an armistice to the rebel authorities.
The visit of the Hon. Henry Wilson to the
President few days since is understood to
have been to present these views and to urge
them upon him. What the result of his mis-
sion was has not yet TRANSFERRED.
We are of opinion that the present hour
is pregnant with some great political event,
to result from the desperate condition to
which the administration party is fast be-
holding itselfreduced. 1t perfectly pat.
emit that, unless Mr.. LINCOLN and his
friends can do something to arrest the adj
yancing wave of conservative sentiment
now sweeping the country, their prospects
are hopeless. We may rest assured, there
fore, that the mode by which, peradven-
ture, this tide may be stayed, is now the
one engrossisg subject of deliberation al
Washington. 1t is the problem of prob
lens, upon the quick solution of which the
perpetuation of the abolition regime de-
ponds. Moreover, as it is not in the ma
ture of the present dynasty to relinquish
without an agony, the power upon which
it has fattened, we think it safe to predic
that some important move, designed t.
bolster up its failing fortune, will speedily
be developed by the administration.
Some measure, however desperate, vii
soon be adopted to achieve these objects
and it behooves the people to be prepared
We believe the doom of this corrupt, in
capable and treacherous administration ha
been pronounced. A majority of tn
country has lost confidence in it and de
serted it. Let no one be cheated or co
creed back into it's support Look out TO
the coming coup detot.

that Johnston has been replaced by Hood, at
