SNEERs AT THE CONSTITUTION IN THE Sc

SNEERs AT THE CONSTITUTION IN THE SEN
ATE.-Judge Collamer Senator fIom Vermont, is
one of the few statesmen left of the Clay and
Webster school. In the matter of ability and
experience in public life he leads the present sen.
ate. From his seat in that degcncratcd body he
last week testified to the character ofhs partisan
compeers in these words:
Il do not wish to occupy the time of the SEN
ate by making any remarks on the constitution
of the United States. 1 think it a subject almost
of derision herewith many gentlemen it is an
object of deri>ion. A man is sneered at for
mentioning the constitution, and if he has de-
cent respect for it and for his own oath he is
called a 'timid' man. do not wish to take mp
mnch of the attention of body where such a
subject is treated in such manner"
No man of intelligence will deny the Justice OF
this rebuke. And vet these men who daily sneer
at the constitution-who habitually deride the
only and the fundamental law of our Union
claim to be the exclusive friends of the govern
ment and are sustained in their works of blasphe-
my and ruin by majority of the people of the
northern statesi

OLD ABE's LAST JOKE We do not know
what joke Old Abe made whenh he heard of the sur
render ofPlymouth. In regard to the Fort Pillow
affair he made Busby speech, but no joke. His
last joke, of which we have any knowledge,
occurred when Secretary Chase was starting on
his trip to New York. Old Abe is like Crom-
we'll without his military genius, and is very
fond of playing practical jokes upon his associ-
ates. 1t is said that after Cromwell had signed
the warrant for the execution of King Charles
he turned round TO one of his colleagues and
smeared his face with ink. This he thought
capital fun. Old Abe's jokes are of about the
same quality. When Chase called upon him to
say good bye, the secretary of the treasury asked
for some information about the probable end of
the war, saving that it would help him greatly
in getting more money in Wall street DO YOU
want more moneyP asked Old Abe, and then
quickly added What has the printing machine
gin OUT" This joke is fully equal to Cromwell's.

The APOLOGY for the reyerses OF BUTLER show
a heartlessness and recklessness which are with
out excuse. The blunders and ncapacity of a mil

Complaining from a Republican,
SnnPce

The Cincinnati Gazette is not satisfied With
the Administration. In an elaborate article in
its issue of Saturday last il complains that the
actual results which the country had the right to
expect would follow the emancipation proclama-
tons have not been attained. and il places the
responsibility of the failure upon the shoulders OF
Mr.. LINCOLN We copy two extracts from its
article to show that we have not msstated the
position of this loyal paper. Itsays:
The emancipation proclamation put a weapon
in the hands of the enemy, North and South.
while il did not emancpate a single slave The
measures taken thus far for its execution have
been the continuation of serfdom by military
force. To await the time when by loose system
OF restoration, the slaveholding class shall re-
cover the control of the State.
Again it remarks:
The people must inevitably come to the
judgment of purposes oy results: and a conviction
that their earnest patriotism has been betrayed
BY indirection in the conduct Of affairs. and that
il is TO be continually sacrificed by unfaithful
subordinates. will be dangerous not only 10 the
success Of the Government in the war. but TO the
reelection of Mr.. Lincoln. matter what con
ventions may do. and most likelv TO the election
of any loval man TO the Presidency. All this
danger Nr Lincoln has it in his power to remove
BY making his Cabinet. his policy. and all his
subor'iiEates, in sympathy and earnest CO opera-
ton with his declared principles and measures !"
Ii we had made these charges against the
Administration il would have been pronounced
the quintesseuce of apprehension. but "loyal"
paper can charge that the President has failed in
his policy and even intimates that the failure ia
owing to "disloyal'' influences in the Cabinet
and the treachery of Republican or Union" sub
ordInates in the employ of the Government. and
the "lovaty" OF the paper is not questioned by the
faithful
No Democratic paper has said harsher things Of
the Administration than is contained in the two
extracts We give from the Gazette but we pre-
sumo not word will appear in any Republican
paper condemning this criticism of the conduct
OF 1.-THE Government" when its life is being
threatened by rebel foes The Gazette il right
in stating that the Emancipation proclamation
has proved a failure There never vas any ne.
eessity Tor il. Ia united the South or the States
in rebellion. while it did not consolidate the

whale. which even the better judgment of the
President regarded as costly amusement And
no good cit zen will dissent from the proposition
of the Gazette that the earnest patriotism OF the
people has been been betrayed by indirectlon in
the conduct of affairs. The history of the
Administration from its organization to the
present time best attests the truthfulness of the
conclusions Of the Gazette. 1t has been terri
