The campaign has opened. Mr.. Lincoln
has thrown of the mask, and at length ayows
that This war is not prosecuted for the ~restora-
ton of the Union, but the abolition of slavery.
He has declared that none of the rebel States
shall be allowed to return to the Union until
they have abolished slavery. Nor is this dec
Iaration an empty one. louisiana has formally
withdrawn from the Confederaey, and elected
members to our National Congress, but acting
aron,Ahe advice of Mr.. Lincoln, the House of
Representatives refused to receive them.
Here, then, fellow-citizens, has Louisiana
been excluded from the Union, although anx-
ions to return, and ready and willing to per-
form an her duties under the Constitution.

town, in every township, and every school dis-

IL The following curious story is told of
an old la ly living in Buckinghamshire, Eng
land
t'The husband of this ancient dame died
without making his will, for the want of which
very necessary preeaution his estate would
have passed away from his widow, had she not
resorted to the following expedient to avert the
loss of her property. She concealed the death
of her husband, and prevailed upon an old cob
bier, her B~eighbor, who was in person some
what like the deceased, to go to bed at her
house, and personate him, in which character
it was agreed that he should dictate a will, Civ
ing the widow the estate in question. An attor-
ney was sent for to draw up the writing. The
widow, who, on his arrival, appeared in great
affection at her good mans danger, began to
ask questions of her pretended husband, cal
culated to elicit the answers she expected and
desired. The cobbler groaned aloud, and look
ed az much like a person going to give up the
ghost as possible, freely answered, Il intend TO
leave you half my estates, and I think the poor
old shoemaker who lives opposite is deserving
the other half, for he has always been a good
neighbor.' The widow was thunderstruck at
receiving a reply so different to that which
she expected, but dared not negative the cob
bler's piN, for fear of losing the whole of the
property, while the old rogue in bed who was
himself the poor old shoemaker, living oppo-
site,9 laughed in his sleeve, and divided with
her the fruits of a project which the widow in
tended for her sole benefit"

The Forney-LincoIn Comedy.

IF any of your readers feel disinclined from
any cause to visit theaters or other places of
amusement, we recommend them, as a substi-
tute, and az a source of ipextinguishable fun,
to procure some numbers of late leading Adj
miristration papers, and read their eulogies on
Abraham Lincoln. We select a few examples,
by way or giving our readers a foretaste Of the
probable sport they will enjoy in the ensuing
Presidential campaign, from the Washington
Chronicle and the Philadelphia Press, both
owned and controlled by the notorious John
w. Forney, whom the New York Ho~ld aptly
calls the Presidents dog, because his bark has
such a delightful tone of fawning fattery to
his master in it.
Now listen, reader , Forney in the Wroni-
Gle says "the American dwells with pride and
satisfaction upon the Administration of Wash
ington and jackson I; and yet y = = x
we can see in Abraham Lincoln the qualities
that will make his name as dear Forney
must be q greyhound, his sight is so Keen.
Forney in the Press says "no man can lay
his finger upon one act of the Presidential
Lincoln's term, which is not for the we'll
being of the people" Alexander, though
he had a wry-neck, his fattererss said, was
physical perfection personi6cd.
Forney SAYS in the Chronicle that the gift
of speaking "the right word in the right
time" which was denied to Cromwell and
Bonaparte, "has been bestowed upon Abra-
ham Lincoln" Forn.y probably here has
special reference to the word Lincoln spoke
when he told the Chicago preachers that his
Issue of an Emancipation proclamation would
be ''like the Pope's bull against the Comet"
Forney says in the Press Ghis [Lincoln's]
name has become synonymous With everything
good in government, wise in policy, merciful
in Justice, and yet just in the exercise Of
mercy" No doubt Forney had the suspen.
sion Of the ha6eas corpus in loyal States, the
arbitrary arrest and Imprisonment of citizens
for no crime known to the law, and the thou.
sands of suffering and dying freed contrabands
on the Mississippi and elsewhere, in his mind
VIXEN he penued the foregoing.
But here comes Fcrney's grand bark fol-
his master uttered through the Chronicle
"Thcre is something like grandeur in thi.
enthusiasm for Mr.. Lincoln, AMI the universe
desire to see him again the leader of the irieuds
of the Union. 1t has a majesty to Dhich ao'
yield.
The people are naming him as their leader
for another campaign, AND WE BOW BEFOR1
