FALSE PRETENcEs.- tho chief
reasons urged by the Republicans for
the election Of radicals to Congress is,
that the Southern States will certainly
be induced to accept the new constitu-
tional amendment if the action of the
Rump Congress is strongly endorsed
in the Northern States. The reason
is groundless the statement has not
shadow of authority. Not repre-
sentative man nor a representative
journal in tho whole South, can be
cited to back up this most unreasona-
bic assertion. The New York Herald
is the head and front of the Radical
authority on this point, and its impu-
dent assumption is Indignantly repu-
dated by the entire Southern press
Vote Understandings, even if you vote
wrong, Sir Radical. Face the music
and the responsibility. Radicalism
means Disunion. A vote in its favor
is vote to continue and perpetuate
disoord and ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

We publish this week tho speech
made 10y Mr.. Lincoln on the 18th day
Of April, 1865, just three days before
his assassination. 1t is his farewell
address to the American people. In it
he lays down the great principle Of
tho Republican party of that day
He says: We all agree that the Sc
coded States, so-called, are out of their
proper practical relations with the
Union, and that the sole object of the
Government, eiVa and military. IN regard
TO those States, as TO Cgain get Mom into
that proper practical relation" The only
question with him and the Republican
party then was, how this could soon
est be accomplished. For that reason
he did not sign the Congressional Bill
proposing a plan of reconstruction
lie did not wish to be hampored by
plan. He was ready and willing to
admit State that should adopt and
act upon that plan. He was equally
ready to welcome back a State that
should originate and act upon plan
Of its own.
And it is worthy of consideration,
that Mr.. Lincoln does not use the
term guarantee. Ii does not seem that
it ever occurred to him that tho States
could not be again represented in Con-
gress except under an amended Con-
s;i.ution, which should make them in
feriors in the Government. The Re-
publican party of to-day have wan
dered long way from that position
Of the patriotic Lincoln. They do not
ask the question how can the old rela-
tons Of oil the States be soonest re-
storcd-but are you willing to restore
men whose hands are red with the
blood of your friends, to power in the
Government Shall one vote in South
Carolina be equal to two votes in
MichiganP Those questions are ask
cd for the purpose of inaaming the
public mind and keeping alive and
perPetuating in the North, spirit of
hatred and revenge towards the South.
They do not wish 10 place the South
in position Of equality in the Uaion;
indeed, they do not wish to have those
States again represented in Congress,
but to re main forever under the tutel- I
age Of Congress. They are disunion
party. And every vote cast for John
+. briggs is vote cf censure against
abraham Lincoln and vote for prac-
teal disunion.

General Meagher, who stayed in
st. Paul few days on his way to
Montana, and who addressed the peo-
pie at IngorsolPs Hall, has recently
delivered speech in Montana. which
shows that he is sound on the great
question Of the hour. He handles
the Radicals in beautiful style. Gen.
eral Meagher says: nni'
AS for the Radicals, he needn't tell
the people to drop them, for they had
dropped themselves. They might, to
be sure, get upon their feet the last
moment, and give battle here and
there, under what they mendaciously
designated the Union flag. But over
their flag "Disunion." "Proscription

Serious charges. Of dishonesty and
corruption, in his official capacity were
made against Mr.. briggs soon after
his nomination. AID the person max
ing the chsrge, stood ready TO produce
proof satisfactory to the umpire Mr.
briggs should name, or failing to so
he agreed to forfeit two thousand dol
lars and, his own good name. That
person was not an obscure and un'
known individual, without name OF
character % lose. 1t was no less q
person than Judge Bmney; who ha,
held the second office i'm the gift Of the
people of this Suite, and whose pri.
vate character is above suspicion.
What has Mr.. briggs done to have
this charge Investigated? Nothing,
absolutely nothing. He has been as
silent as the tomb. He has not even
denied the charge nor have any of his
friends for him. The Eatrpr,ss Of
this city refused to publish Mr.. Bir-
ney's communication, and has ignored
the whole matter since. Why this
studied silence on the part of Mr..
briggs and his friends? Does Mr..
briggs consider the charge frivolous ?
His four years stay at Washington
may have taught him as much, but
there are others who have never had
the advantages Of a Washington edu-
cation, who still think that virtue and
vice are not synonymous terms-that
honesty is not an unsightly rag that
is to be concealed, while dishonesty is
to be Haunted in their faces as the
first and only qualification of Con-
gresham.
Mr.. briggs may be innocent, but
he has certainly taken the course he
would have taken if he was guilty
He has done as much as to say to the
people do not care whether you regard
me as innocent or guilty. He cannot
blame the people if they, under the
circumstances, consider him guilty and
vote accordingly. ~

DO YOUR DUTY.

great State Of NEW YORK are
moving, in solid columns, straight for
ward to victory. Thoy will triumph.
We, Of Michigan, ought to attain the
eamo result. Our leader, the heroic
WILLIAMs-he who amid shot and
shell, stood by his Country's flag, sus-
tanning the Nations honor and aiding
in her final triumph, now asks us to
rally with him for the same high pur-
pose for Country, for Union, for
Peace Let us do it. Sustain the
old hero.

for the sake of party rule, would make
perpetual the disorders of the coun-
try. They promote discord. They
obstruct restoration. They battle for

Logan was "cornered" neatly the

during Logan's speech at Carbondale
he branded as a liar the man who
would say that he gave cent to any
man to oto the rebel army. His sis

at the top of her voice, 'You did;

upon the constitutional amendment,
and thus assist in changing the funda-

If the people Of Michigan desire to
see tho practical results of Radical
teaching, they have only to notice the
action of the Maryland Radicals in
opposition to the constituted authori-
ties of that State, in the matter OF
the Police Commissioners of Balti-
more. As regards these Commission
ers, the constitution of Maryland pro-
vides as follows: H
"For official misconduct, any of
said commissioners may be removed
by a concurrent vote of the two
Houses of the General Assembly, or
blythe Governor during the recess thereof"
Now, grave charges of official mis-
conduct have been preferred against
the Baltimore Commissioners and
Gov. Swami, as in duty bound, has
commenced their investigation. If
they are sustained, he must remove
them or violate his oath Of Office; If
not sustained, the whole matter drops.
So far as the Governor is concerned,
it is simply plain executive duty
which he has to perform, imposed up
on him by the constitution of his State.
Of his right to act in the premises, the
N. Y. .Ereaing Post lrepublican) speaks
thus: fs41.
"They (the Commissioners argue
upon this that the power of removal
"gives no power to the Governor to
try for official misconduct, or to pro-
nounce them guilty" This seems to
us manifestly absurd; if it were the
true meaning, then majority of the
Legislature would have the right by
the constitution to keep the Commits
sioners in Office, even though they had
been judicially tried and found guilty
of official misconduct. 1t is of no use
to argue that the constitution intends
that. 1t seems to us clear that the
Police Commissioners are amenable to
the Governor during the recess Of the
Legislature; and as we have no doubt
they have acted properly and lawfully,
we are sorry to SEQ them put thom-
selves in the wrong. Nor can we think
we'll Of the attitude of the Republi-
cans in Baltimore. They have taken
for granted that the Governor will do
wrong-this they had no right to as
sumo: then they have publicly an
nounced that they will resist the Gov
ernor's acts, and the Mayor Of Balti-
more, we read, has now quite for
midable army at his back. Is civil
war so welcome and SO profitable that
it shoald be invited ?"
This language is eminently patriotic
and truthful-but it is precisely such
language as the Radicals do not use.
They are everywhere taking their key
note from Forney, and pounoe madly
upon Gov. Swami, representing him
as a traitor--in league with "Lee's
soldiers and determined to turn the
State over "to the hands of JEFF.
Davis" Then, they are organizing
for open resistance, should the Gov
ernor remove the Commissioners, and
call upon the citizens to arm Cor the
contest ! Ism t this the very madness
IF f,ii,, AID yet it 20 sh0 port ftadi-
calism is acting in Baltimore to-day,
and it receives the sanction of nine
tenths of the Republican journals
throughout the country! Another
civil war, forsooth, because State
Executive. in the discharge of his du-
ties, removes Police Commissioner
Well may the Post ask "Is civil war
SO welcome and SO profitable that il
should thus be invited ?"

whom it was presented. / also urged
several personal friends Of Mr.. 9. to

know was done. That Mr.. briggs
should not be aware of my agency in
tho matter, need excite no surprise,
since having given the matter in charge
to the Hon. Mr.. Longyear, he proba-
bly, troubled himself no more about
it. Certainly, confess l was some-
what surprised, just after the passage
of the appropriation bill, to read his
letter, in which he coolly the whole
credit of the transaction to himself,

his ignorance of the manner in which
it was brought about, by referring to
