"What's in the Wind"

Although not distinctly announced, ye il
is pretty clearly shadowed forth in the Mon
tour american of this week, that an "unhoIy
alliance is about to be formed between The
TWO Republican journals of this place-the
american and the Democrat. This union of
American Know-Nothingism, aud Repub>
licanism, is by no means unnatural. The
natural afinities of these, the two most cor
rupt and baleful political isms that ever cur
sed this or ary other nation. would OF course
lead them 10 coalescs, whenever coalsscence
would further their wicked designs of attain
ing or retaining political power. Iiour infer
ence from what we see in The american re-
spec ling the proposed union of these two
papers be correct, then we may expect the
fruits of this amaigamaiion will be conc en-
trated Abolilionism.-DanUiLe Inteuigen-

Ths President Derounees his Own Action,


The discussion OF political matters in
Louisiana between the Democrats and the
imported abolitionists and negroes has
brought out letter that was written by Mr..
LINCOLN in November 1862, to General
SHEPLEY, in regard to the election of mem
bers OF Congress from that State. The letter
like a. a.speech once made by Mr. Lincoln
in Congress, on the right of a people to rev.
olutionize and set mp a government for
themselves, is severe criticism upon his
own action. Ii is little singular how
pressure" acts upon our "Jacksonian"
President. II seems that he was "con-
strained" to do in the last Kentucky elec
lion, and at other times and places recently
what he pronounced in 1862 TO be dis
graceful and outrageous action, and deed
that be would vote to condemn, if he were
a member of Congress. CONSISTENCY thou
art jewell" Here is the letter which we
copy from the Cincinnati Gazette, an aboli-
tion paper.
