an indignant exclamation to our lips, we
restrained its ut;erance. And yet has much
grief, and love, and admiration, accom-
panied each hecalomb of these unknown
heroes, martyrs 10 their country, Who have
fallen, through the ineompetency and cold
and Unsuitable ambition OF the men whose
mission i, was to lead our sons to victory,
bul uho being blinded by political consid.
era,ions for their personal advancement,
led them only to profi,Iess death.
And you have no, displayed more talent
or energy abroad. Hapolean has irampled
upon The wriehts OF a friendly republic
he has insolenlly notified Us of blockade
of The Mexican coast, aud thrown the Mon

We ask, then, who is master Eow IN
America, he who lays down The law, or he
who submit 10 The same! n it Napoleon

God alone, by bes,owine upon the coun-
try inexhausiable wealth., and that ardent
patriotism which makes every soldier he
70, have saved tho country from the ruin
into which our sel6shness would plunge it.
This 10 the secret of the difference between
your currsncy anGiha. of the South.
We have: been imposed upon long
enough. The ruin which you have been
unable to accomplish in four years, would
Certainly be fully cousummated were you
to remain in power four years longer. Your
military governors and proves. marEhaIs
override ths laws, and The echo OF the arm.
ed heel rings forh as clearly now as in
France or Austria. You have encroeched
upon our liberty without securing victory,
and we mus, have both.
You have dishonored Us abroad by Sham a.
less misrepresentation as to our rue condi-
ton. Places that we occupied in 1862 are
now again in the hands of The rebels, and
God knows whe,hef your arrangements fos
the approaching campaign are adequate
Corruption has entered iase every depart

who look sof nothing fuTihsr than The adj

Such mao can only save the country.
Away with all the imposlors who have
invaded the temple of liberty, and turned
il into a voe market. Let there be an end
of this farce OF unconditional loyalty. which
is only fl to secure The votes OF those fools,
who, instead of delvins TO the roo, of The

Mr. Lincoln's honesty is of strange de-
scriplion. II consists in nearly raining the
county and in disfeaafdiug It's interests in
crdet to make sure of power for four years
longer. To our eyes, the man who has de-.
prived his country OF The service OF some
Of it's bes. citizens, who mas been unable
TO make any better use OF the Incredible re-.
sources cnuhdsd to him, and who, after ag.
iiaring SO many public qsesiions without
solving one of lhem, disregards his own
utter ineapaci.y, is, of ell the citizens oI
the United States, the least honest and the
most dangerous.
But even If President Lincoln wefe the
honest man that his paid oteans represent
