The AbOnInaIIons Of Lincoln
tsIMs

or all the resorts OF q hateful Govern
mcnt to maintain its power and pcrpeluale
its rule, the most odious, cruel, and crimi-
nal ever devised by the tyrants of the Old
World, has been introduced here, and =
now Aourishing with a vigoI which may
hereafter defy exlirpation, It's not simply
the dispersion of detcctives-peepmg,
prying, sueaking, eves-dropping scoun-
drels--in every pant Of the country, So
that every community, nay, every family,
and every individual, is under their surveii-
lance, and there is no ac; done, no word
spoken, that is not promptly reported toI
those who have the will, the power, the
cruelty aud the cowardice to punish But
this does not describe the system. These
detectives are not simply required TO re-
port disaifoction to the despoiism which
they serve They are commissioned toI
ncitedisaifcetiou--to lure simple minded
and uuwnry men into olfrnses, merely to-
crafty the cruel instincts ut ON rulers to
inAict torment on their fellows. Langu
age cannot describe the turpitude which
this policy involves, 1t is simply diabol-
cal. 1t is satanic. The land is full of
thaae agents of LINCOLN. They swarm in
every locality They iniest every neigh
boIhood. Dom was doubtless one o
them. He was bought up, at what price
no one knows, He betrayed friends that
confded in him. Put evidence in the
hands of their foes to destroy them, and
then WAS allowed to escape.
The arrest of the New York Commits
sioners, and the mode Of tripi adopted,
only adds one mote ollense to the cat.
alogue of IaNooLS's violations Of the
moral and civil law In this case, as in
Indiana, the work of Government detec'
tves may be traced, not only to report
but to incite violations of military orders
50 as to afford pretext for arrest and punish
ment. These agents are responsible legal
ly only to the authorities of the State o
New York. They were selected by tn
various Central Committees of the State
the Governor ratiiying the appointment
They are seized by the Federal Govern
ment to be tried by a military Commits
sion whose power is unlimited, and tn
sentence imposed is finally to be approx
ed by ABRAHAM LINCOLN, one of th
candidates for President, whose election !
affected by the alleged fraudulent vote
Let every important man consider the fact
waving the illegality Of the arrest, th
annihiatiOn Of the sovereign rights Of ReN
York which it involves, the total destruC
ton of the personal liberties OF the Amer
can people which il portends, waving, "
say, all this, the man against whom IL
h alleged ollense is committed, is the ma
: who is to approve the finding of the arb
t trary military tribunal, whatever it ma
a be, against the parties arrested 1t
