Lincoln's Crimes.

ted Old Abe for second term, was com
posed of the willing and abject parasites
OF power 10 be found in the country
They were the vutures that have been
preying upon the vtals Of liberty, while
the epsanguincd tyrant at Washington
holds her pinned to the earth by hay ohets
and the nomination was necessary as a
means Of procuring further subsistence from
the rocking carcasses ol her chrildren.-- --
This is the only reason why Old Atlila
Lincoln should bo re elected lie is the
keeper of blood houads who have hunted
Liberty to the death. The following rea.
sons why he should not be elected, are
given by cotemporary :-Laqiana Dem-
lcat.
/, He has violated his pledge to the
people. In July, 1861, Congress passed
resolution, which was adopted by him in
these words "That this war is not wag-
cd in any spirit Of oppression, Or for any
purpose of conquest or suhjugation, or for
the purpose of overthrowing or interfering
with the rights or established institutions
Of the states, but to defend Ind maintain
the supremacy Of the constitution"
2. He has violated the Constitution
which he took solemn oath to support,
in ways without number. His cmancipa-
tioD proclamations which he has issued ho
himself acknowledged he had no power to
do it,
3. He has suspended the habeuS cor
pus in states where there was no neccssi-
tv for it. He has caused TO be arrested
and imprisoned citizens for expressing
their candid opinion as to the acts of tic
administration without allowing them a
trial by jury, and has afterwards discharg-
ed them without attempting to produce
any charges against them.
A. He has muzzed the mouth md the
press in a more arbitrary manner than any
depot in Europe.
5. He has prolonged the war for the
purpose Of collecting o great army to aid
and assist him 10 reelection as President
by the point of the bavonet.
6. He has sent armies to Florida and
Louisiana for the purpose Of organizing
new states for..the purpose Of voting for
hin, for tho tba noxt Droa;Jo,t ool T.. ,. =.
doing, twenty thousand men have lost their
lives.
7. He has squandered millions upon
millions of the public money to colonize
support the negroes, and has no sympathy
for the white soldiers who arc slain by
thousands in the army.
8. lie has organized an army Of negroes
and forced them from the plantations, ,whele C
they could have raised food for the army
and supported their families who are now
starving and dying
.. He has initiated a system of extrva--
gance and corruption i'll the conduct Of the
war which will sooner or later overflow
our government.
TO- Before he was elected he declared
himself against the election OF President
for second term. He has violated this
pledge, and now says it was all a joke
IL. Being suddenly raised from the
common walks of life TO the highest honor
in the gift of the nation, he became vain
and putfed up, and keeps corpse of sol.
dires as a body guard, which no other
President ever did
II. He has set Of fanatics and shoddy
contractors, ard al! kinds of spectators
for his advisers, and they hatter him which
pleases his vanity, and make him think be
is the greatest man in the world. He vii
soon wake up and find all these things {
joke, and honest Abe will 90 down to rros
perity as a great Joker, and nothing more
