Trouble in the Abolition Camp.

Mr. Lincoln's chances appear to be pretty
rood for a denomination, but then it is not all
fair sailing and bright skies with him. He has
the influence of those who feed off his bounties
for, in magnifying him, they magnify them
selvcs-but the outs who are for the most part
radical Germans are down upon him with a
vengeance. following is from Butts new
Chicago papers:
"Alter two years of bloody. murderous war
while Streams of blood are being spilled unne-
cessary, while the nations (that i, the people
who sent their sons to the field of BATTLE walk
in mourning, and while only contractors, spec
ulators, and q certain class of traders pile up
riches, Lincoln continues telling us his stories,
and asks actor Ua chett to produce Falstaff be-
fore him"
The St. Louis German paper, the Post is not
quite so complimentary as the other. 1t has
had Fremont on the brain for long while, and
delivers itself as follows:
''It is scarcely necessary to repeat-apart
from this serious and general danger with which
the reelection Of Lincoln threatens us-all his
special sins al aasean, We have at present
nothing to do but 10 declare herewith, once for
all, that we, supper ted by honest conviction of
all friends Of freedom in our State, can not
support Mr.. Lincons reelection under any Cir
cumstances whatever We will not and cannot
help to bring that man into power again who
caused disgraceful retreat to our army, by re-
moving Fremont, and who thus saved rebel
army from annihilation, We shall not support
that man from whom the people of Missouri
have since experienced a series of insults, which
were only SO much the more cutting, as each OF
them was also political mistake"
The Spuit Of tie times talk sharply, even in
sultingy 1t says:
''The country is all in right tone. 1t has
been willing to laugh at Mr. Lncoln's jokes for
season; but I9W that the tue tue sttsain Of our
institutions is approaching, it requires courage
and decQrum IN the chair Of state.
Il '1'or our part, we believe the people will, in
], this matter, meet with the relief they wish
: We can conceive popular tumult may, in its
: first emotion, upheaye some yjocas clodpole to the
apex, but we can not conceive how, in the face
of dripping guillotines and n rocking empire
Jack Bu,,SJy could be elected to preside over &
r period like that of the old French Revolution
|, for a second term" =,
Il The Albany Statesman, the most ultra Of the
= Republican press contesses that:
g The proud and numerous party which was
/ represented in the convention at Chicago, NJ
Y longer retains an existence. 1t has been dissi
/ pated by the action of its chosen head. Th
J. administration, therefore, stands in tno anoma
d lous political SUPPORT outside the circle Of it
il own office holders and retainers "a very nois
p but by no means controlling faction"
IS 1t points out the causes of this dissolution
IS follows:

incorrigibe, have fastened up the public Treas
ury and depleted it at the rate of millions month

'e HE washington correspondent of the New
h York Commercial AdcertiSer writes.
!, "On the part of the radical Emancipat;onist
G ono can but see an increasing desire to nominate
u Gov Chase, Senator Sumner Gen. Fremont
k or some other representative man of their owr
;, stamp. They declare, in congress and ont n
1t 1t, that MIR. Lincoln has shown deplorabe hes
t ltancy IN meeting the great question of eman
e thpaton, which now underlies all other ones
c tons. Ills proclamations, 50 reluctantly made
e are not sustained by any constitutional provis
c lon and can be revoked by him to morrow
$ while their exceptions impair their value. Ir
e Short 1t is evident that Mr.. Lincoln canno
e count upon many who have been reckoned a,
: foremost among the supporters Of his admins
tration."
