The Republican wire pulsrs, like the
Democrats, since the reign of jackson,
were looking for convenient instrument,
when they picked up their master in
that good uncouth, ungsinly aud
uupretending Illinois railsplitter, Abra.
ham Lincoln.
What line of policy will he now pur-
sue? What changes will he make in his
cabinet? To the FIRST question We shall
probably have satisfactory answer in
his inaugural address to day-and per,

very elaborate answer is needed Ex.

necessary. He is the master, and the
members of his Cabinet chief clerks. He
consults them, be hears them and then
tells them what to do. He INDUCES Mr..
Seward in his diplomatic correspondence
by the volume, but his theories aud argu.
ments touching our foreign policy and
domestic relations stand merely a. the
opinions Of Mr. Seward. Old Abe 10 not

preme law. He has told US that his
course has been shaped by the logic Of
events, and we presume that this will
continue to be his policy.
' He is most remarkable man. He
may seem to be the most credulous, do
cile and pliable of backwoodsmen, and
when he "puts his foot down he puts it
down firmly" and cannot be budged. He
has proved himself, in his quiet way, the
keenest Of politicians, aud more than
match for his wiliest antagonists in the
arts of diplomacy. He upsets, without
an effort, the most formidable obstacles
Of caucuses and congresses, and seems to
enjoy as huge joke the astonishmeut of
his friends and enemies. Plain common
sense, kindly disposition, a straight
forward purpose, and shrewd percep.
tion of the inns and outs of poor. weak
human nature, have enabled him to mas
ter difficulties which would have swamp
ed almost any other man. Thus to day,
with the most cheering prospects before
him, this extraordinary rail splitter enters
upon his second term the unqucstioned
master of the situation in reference to
American affairs, at home and abroad -

In front of the Revere House was one
of those new made freemen, SO badly de
formed as to be unable to walk. Hard at
work polishing soldiers boots, he was
accosted thus by soldier:
"Hey. old contraband, more lively
there; here's plenty Of work for you"
The brush was dropped, and the poor
old cripple, Strengthening himself up,
disclaimed the title thus:
"Good Lord! mister, Pse no contra
band"
"You ANTI" said tho soldier. "Well,
what the devil are you then 7"
"Wby, good Lord! sir, hasn't you read
Uncle Abe's proclamation? Use no con-
traloaa any more. No sir? I'se free
man. | black desc boots now, and earn
dis money for myself"
So these people all seem to be free, of
a truth. Not free as many Of their mas
ters thought they would be-frce to roam
where they pleased aud steal what they
needed. Not free to turn from their
homes, leave their fields to lay in waste
for want of hands to till them, free
to wander to . now people, and disorder
the laboring system Of Northern villages.
Not free to fill your poor houses with
more paupers, your prisons with more
con victs, your courts with more criminal
cases, your streets with more vagrants
