PRESIDENT LINooLN's SECOND TERM

Since the inauguration OF George Washing
ton no similar event has SO stirred the popular
heart of the country where that is loyal to the
principles Of free government, as this ipsugu
ration OF President Lincoln for a SECOND term.
This means, unmistakabiy, that the people
with comparatively few exceptions, emphati.
cally approve the policy and measures by
which he is suppressing the rebellion, and hays
universal confidence in his energy, capacity
and patriotism, as the result Of their experience
with him at the head Of American public AZ
fairs during the past four most irving wears of
our brief nations al lifetime Wesubmit IN those
who reflect, that this SO remarkable dtsplay of
popular appreciation OF our country's Chief
Magistrate, means neither more nor less than
an Overwhelming endorsement of the new
"departure'' In the course OF our national pol-
cy-of our public affairs-into which thu
so wide spread treason OF the times, now
happily gasping in death thrses, has precip
itated the country. We need hardly remark
that the rebellion has already worked an en-
tire revolution in the public mind with refer
ence not only to the rights and duties OF the
States, but concerning the obligations which
the citizen owe to the State and National Gov
ernments, respectively. In the same manner
have civil connections repeatedly worked rev.
olutions in the popular readings OF English
constitutional and other laws, more than once
affecting changes without resorting to scratch
OF pen, which have amounted to well nigh an
entire reconstruction OF English rights, If not
OF English society. All these eventual tran
sitions have resulted fortunately for the Brit
ish nation; increasing and strengthening Eng
lish liberty, and amazingly furthering the ma
teriai prosperity OF the English people and the
power Of the English State IN the affairs OF the
world. We see no reason to doubt that the
revolution in our own government, which .ns
rebellion Is so swiftly working, as explained
above, will tail to operate as beneficialIy for
pS as q nation.

- Senator Sumner, the other day, in
his speech against the proposed policy Of
retaliation, as means ofinsuring the bet

hands OF the rebels, said:
The question is solemn enough, and yet,
as think OF the original resolution, l am
reminded OF an incident more comic than
serious, which occurred at Paris, while it
was occupied by the Prussians in 1914. A
Prussixn soldier was brought before the
Governor, charged with numerically beat
ing Frenchmen, with whom he was bill
leted, for not supplying q bottle Of Berlin
steiss bier, which the Prussian had insisted
upon drinking. The General spoke Of the
of the demand, and de-
clared that he should be Obliged to inAict
severe runishment, when the Prussian sol-
der set up the law OF retaliation. "When
l was Boy said he, "a French dragon
beat my father because he was unable to
get a bottle Of claret in our whole village,
and I then swore that If ever I got to France
would beat q Frenchman for not getting
me bottle of aceiss 6ser. An: not right
This was a case OF retaliation in kind, and

@-The editor of the Richmond Wing
shows, in an article published on the 10th
Of January, that he has no doubt he has
discovered what is the matter with the
Southern Confederacy. Hesays:
1.-THE main difficulty is in adjusting the
matter Of exemptions TO meet the dilemma
Of having men enough in the field TO con-
front the enemy, and men enough at home
to provide subsistence for those in the field
and to answer the inevitable wants Of So
ciety. Already there 10 trouble about sub
sisting the army. To diminish the number
Of producers and increase the number Of
consumers, by drawing still more largely
on the agricultural classes to recruit the
army. would be to duplicate the difficult
ty.'
Which is to say, the real want Of the
Confsderacy is men. And poverty in men
is the fatal form Of penury to nation.
II there were men enough in the Southern
Confederacy to do the fighting and feeding
required the case would be changed; and
the wisdom of the Wing. in making the an
nouncement, is not sufficient to excite the
alarm of itsenemies.
