or in Paris? Are we the descendants ol
those proud Saxons who refused to succumb

cardinals seeking to secure fortune and
greatness by perpetual worship? Are we
really the descendants Of those disciples Of
Luther and Calvin, who, rather than subject
their reason to an authority which they de-!
spised, preferred to expatriate themselves to
those shores, where, through the agency Of
liberty, they founded our national greatness

God alone, by bestowing upon the country

dent patriotism, which makes every soldier
a hero, has saved the country from the ruin
into which your selfshness would plunge 1t.
This is the secret Of the difference between
your currency and that Of the South.
We have been imposed upon long enough.
The ruin which you have been unable to ac-
complish in four years, would cetainly be
fully consutnfhated were you to remain in
power four years longer. Your military
Governors and their Provost Msrshals over
ride the laws, and the echo Of the armed
heel rings forth as clearly nov III America
as in France or Austria. You haVs sncroaeh

You have dishonored US abroad by shame

now again in the hands OF the rebels, and
God knows whether your preparations for
the approaching campaign are adequte. Cor
ruption has entered into every department..
of your administration, rendering it q very
Augean stable, which needs Hercules as
your successor. 1t is time for the light to
shine forth and the truth to fully appear, so
that all sincere PATRIOTS all men who look
for nothing farther than the advancement OF
their country and Of liberty, may rally in
one compact body around the great principle
OF liberalism, aud form a liberal party really
worthy of the name. Such one only can
save the country.
Away with all the imposters who hare in
vaded the temple OF liberty, and turned IL
into vote market. Let there be an end OF
this ridiculous farce OF unconditional loyalty
which is only fit to secure the votes Of those
fools who, instead of delivering to the root

Mr.. Lincoln's honesty is OF q strange de-.
