FINANCIAL ENBARRAssMRNr,-T New

gard to the financial situation. 1t sees
the crash impending and fears national
bankruptcy, 1t suggest n remedy, but
TIRE IVernment' will not adopt it and
that remedy is. mot to borrow more, but
to save" To save is not the forte Of the
Administration it has too many hungry
hireings to reward for party services
too many spies to pay; too many dcma.
gogues and philanthropists to bribe with
fat contracts to keep them in the traces.
If the Administration adopted the sus.
gestion Of the Times and carried it out in
good faith, it would break up the Adolf.

THE NORTH AGAINST ABoLIrGoyIsM.--
There are two things which. We fancy,
will ultimately cure the North of Adolf.

litionism. The first is the enormous
taxes which have been imposed upon US
and which must be greatly increased; and
the second is the flood Of negro emigra.
ton which will soon pour upon the free
States. Many of the Western papers are
already complaining Of the influx of me-
groes and discussing the propriety of
preventing their settling among them
Additional taxes will have to be imposed
to maintain them, for, says the Lebanon
News, they arc filling our "prisons, poor
houses and hospitals" In little while
nothing will be so abominable and odious
In the sight of the masses of the free
States as Abolitionism. The emancipat.
ed negro, driven from the South, will
rush to the North for sympathy and pro
lection, and there come in competition
with white labor, and reduce it to too low
q figure for white laborers to maintain
themselves respectfully. Another "irre.
pressiblc conflict" between shoddy arts
tocracy and white laborers will he ;tht

groes, by whose means they were brought

1t is to their interest to encourage and asss, a

MORE SwINDLING.. Our Eastern ex.
changes are filed with accounts Of swim.
ding by Department clerks and shoddy
contractors. The reelection Of Lincoln
seems to have given them kcencr appe,
tito and renewed courage, and the War
and Navy Departments are said to be be-
sieged night and day by hungry set OF
loyaistS, begging for Office or contract
In the QuartcrmaSter's department in
Illinois and Missouri vast frauds have
been discovered, and the guilty parties,
being prominent Aboli;ioniSts, have not
been arrested. The Washington cores
pondent Of the Springfield Register says /:
at is suspected that the Administration is
afraid to arrest them. They were doubt
less instrumental in carrying Illinois and
Missouri for Lincoln by fraud, and if ar,
rested might make some damaging dis.
closures. They carry bold front and
seem to defy those in authority. So the
Government is swindled out Of millions
by party favoriteS, and for party reasons
the swindlers are allowed to 60 unpuniSh.

GENERAL DIX OK Civil Walt is
deeply to be deblored that the statesmen
of the Democratic party were not bold
enough to stand up to their convictions
at the commencement Of this fatal war. -
Probably If Gen. Dix had done so, the
influence Of his cOunsels and example
would have gone very far to prevent the
horrible butchery in which We are now
engaged, and disunion would not hav e
followed either. 1t was the business OF
the Democratic party to prevent either
war or diSunion; and if its leaders had
been faithful,it would have been done.'
But the gIittering bait held out to them
hv the Ad'UiU>iatg%tioN w"s too much tor
them; they yielded to temptation, re
nounced their principles and embraced a
creed which they had spent the best years
of their lives in condemning. Their ex-
ample was followed by mercenary crea-
lures who attach themselves to party
purely from selfish considerations. Moth
ing better was expected from them. but
We had right to expect that the trusted
and honOred leaders of the mocratic
party would not prove recrcant and COW
ardly in the hour of trial. Here is what
Gen. Dix thought once, and it is a blister.

GREELFT ON TIE UNroN.-It will not do
to say that Mr.. GreeleyS threat to resist
the restoration of the old Union, carries
with 1t no force or responsibility. His
name was at the head Of the Lincoln cleo
toral ticket Of the great State Of New
York the President sent him as a agent
to Niagara to consult with the Southern
commissioners he has more influence
with the Administration than any other
man in the country he forced it TO adopt
the policy of Radicals; it cannot be doubt
ed that he speaks its sentiments on this
vital question (; he is an oracle with his
party, and it blindly follows his Lead
When Mr. Greelev therefore swoars that
the old Chion shall not be restored. We
may be sure he echoes the designs of the
men in power! A restoration of the old
Union would be runous to him,his party
and its leaders; therefore they are resolved
to prevent its restoration.
