Avn Inoautious Politician.

Mr. Lincoln by this time begins TO
realize that there is such thing as
cunning oyershooting the mark. To
make favor with the radicals the ulti-
matum was sent to the southern agents
in Canada, that there could be no
peace with Slavery. The republican
party is disgusted that Mr.. Lincoln
should have exposed the cloven hoof
of abolitionism so soon. They want
ed TO 60 before the people next No
vember with the old cry of Union
They have styled themselves "a Union
party. They find it safer to denounce
Democrats as rebel sympathizers than
it is TO defend their own political views.
Now Just at this junotue, their man
Lincoln stupidity throws OF the mask
and openly and boldly proclaims that
this is not a war for tho Union, but is
a war for tho enfranchisement Of ne
groes; that no propositions for peace
will be entertained, unless Slavery is
abolished in the South. Such an
avowalis very plain and distinct. The
people now understand VLat sort of
'ear the Administration proposes to
wage, and for what objects it is to be
prosecuted. They have the satisfac-
ton Of knowing that the Administra-
ton makes the salvation of the Union
subordinate to the freedom of the ne
groes; and asks their votes to sustain
such a policy. Mr.. Lincoln's party
is chagrined about the whole matter.
They will have to put their candidate
in leading strings.
We would venture anything that
Secretary Seward never saw Mr.. Lin
coins "To whom it may concern {"
proclamation, before it was sent. He
would have been far too astute for
such piece Of foolishness. But the
deed is done, and the party must faith
er it. Mr.. Lincoln's position is just
this: that if the rebels were to lay
down their arms and ask to be permit
ted to remain in the Union with their
constitutional privileges, the request
could not be granted unless they con-
scented TO abohtioRize the South. They
must be LiacoLaiEed.

Lincoln the Great Cause Of Disaffec-
finva

llOu.
If tho Chicago Convention relies
for success upon the mere dissatisiac-
ton with Mr. Lincolns rule, which is
assumed to exist, it will be disappoin-
ted. The love of the Union, and the
resolve to put down hostility to it by
force of arms, is stronger than any
dissatisfaction. Post.
This is as if you should refuse to
change your physician who has re-
duced you to deaths door by blood
letting, unless his successor will prom
ise to cure you by the mere use Of the
lancet. The fact that, after a long
trial, you have grown constantly worse,
is reason enough for Diminishing the
quack. The lancet may be valuable
in sl1illful hands, but is not the sole
resource of the medical art. DIR. Lin
coin is moro likely to kill the patient
than the disease; it concerns the health
of tho body polite to get rid of him
before life has entirely ebbed out at
its bleeding veins. The idea that the
people will Gust Mr.. Lincoln merely
because they are dissatisfied with him,
is stuff. 1t was disafection that over
throw John Adams and elected JEFF
ferson; that overthrow the younger
Adams and elected Jackson; that over
threw Van Buren, and elected Harri-
son. But the causes of dissatisfac-
ton, in each of these cases, were bag
atelles in comparison with what the
country suffers from Lincoln.

THE HUMAN EYE.-The language of
the eye is very hard to counterfeit.-
You can read in the eyes of your
companion, while you talk, whether
your argument hits him, though his
tongue will not confess it. There is o
look by which man shows that he is
going to say good thing, and look
when he has said it. Vain and for
gotten are all the fine offices Of hos
pitality, if there be no holiday in the
eye. How many future invitations
are avowed by the eye, though dis
sembled by the lips! A man comes
away from a company; he has heard
no important remark; but if in SYM
pathy with the society, he is cognizant
of such a stream Of life as has been
flowing to him through the eyes,
There arc oyoo which give NO more
admission into them than blackber-
ries; others are liquid and deep wells
that men might fall into; and others
are oppressive and devouring, and
take too much notice. There are ask
ing eyes, and asserting eyes, and
prowling eyes, and eyes full of faith
some Of good and some Of sinister
omen.-EmerSOn.

WORM TRYING.-In times Of high
prices of flour, the following recipe
for making cheap bread, which we
find in Halls Journal Of Health, may
be Of service to some of our readers /:
"Fo two quarts of corn meal, add
one pint of bread sponge, water sufIi-
cient to wet the whole; add one half
pint of flour and a teaspoonful of salt
Let it rise, then knead well, unspar-
ingly for the second time. 1t costs
just one half as much as bread from
the finest family flour, is lighter on
the stomach, and imparts more health,
vigor and strength to the body, brain
and bone. Three pounds of such
bread lat five cents a pound for the
meaD affords as much nutriment as
nine pounds of good roast beef (cost
at twenty-five cents, $2,25) according
to standard physiological facts.

Work for Patriotic Civilians.

Whilst Grant and Sherman ale in the field,
leading and handling armies, there are grave
cooperating duties 10 be performed at home.
Some OF these belong to the Federal Executive
and Legislature; others are incumbent on The
people. As surely rs the rebellion, is put
down, so surely is slavery, the cause OF H. TO lie
abolished. That already is = settled question.
There can be, hereafter, no United S stes with
slavery within them, ever engendering strife.
As political anomaly IL must be ennihilated
How this Is TO be done, with the least dis
turbance or shock, is an inquiry pressing for
serious attention. 1t is obviously most desir-
able that the necessary consummation should
be brought about as early and as easily as pos
sible. Consequently, the more that can be ac-
complished by the slaveholding States them
selves, and the less there is left the General
Government, the better. In the border States,
aud the States that have been already recov-
cred from secession control. there are move
ments on foot TO make them free States, by the
decision of their own citizens.
The parties in these movements are labor
Ing to effect the needed change ia public SEN

ture of the case there can be but two sides
and that to sustain the right side, to save the

McG. was headed by Major Smith--a son
OF Extra Billeys"-Who called Mrs. Nc
Clure to the door, and informed her that
he had orders from his superior officer to
burn the house, and desired her aud the
other inmates TO leave at once, not wait 20
remove q single article of value. Mrs.
Mcclure fatty refused to obey the order,
unless the Msjor would send 9 file OF men
up stairs to remove two or three trunks
which she assured him contained al her
"good clOthes." The Major eonsented, the
trunks were brought down, the torch ap-
piled, and soon the house was In ruins
We may add that Major Smith told Mrs.
McC. that he was also instructed to COM
pei her to remain and see the house de-
stroyed. This, too, she refused to do, and
the order was not enforced.

they are many-Who are acquainted with

Edge Tool Factory. That part of Second
street between Market and Queen streets
was also all destroyed, except Masonic Hall
and the Methodist Church. The Court
House, Town Hall, Bank, Franklin Hotel,
White Swan, and, indeed all the Hotels
in the place were burned. The Paper
Mill and the three Flour Mills, all Of the
Breweries, EysteF's Agricultural Works,
and Hamilton's Stove establishment, were
also destroyed.
The jail, public school house, and rail-
road aud railroad buildings were unhsrm-

Of the greatest sufferers are the families
aud relatives of many Of our prominent
citizens, among whom we might mention
Rev. Thomas Z. Orr, Messrs. Lane, Wolf,
Cree, Davis, Carlisle. Reed, besides quite 3
number of other citizens.
