Lincoln Monument.

From, "Brick" PonleroyS N. Y. Democrat.
We notice in the papers that some ambi-
touS architect has at last planned mouu-
ment for the renowned President who shutlled
of this mortal coil at Washington, and who
was, for political effect, carted like a side
show from the City of Magnificent Distances to
his final home at Springfield, Ill. The cost of
1he monument is to be two hundred thousand
dollars, and several years are to elapse before
zhe same will be completed, under the super
Intending care of the genius who has designed
the same.
If ever man deserved q monument it was
Lincoln He erected all over this land from
Maine to the Gulf of Mexico, monuments to
his cupidity, imbecility, ineficiency, and des-
potsm, and it is very fitting that his dupes
and vctims-that the American people, who
suffered so much from his hands and by his
life-shOuld still further bleed for the erection
of a tower, like that proposed in the days of
Babel, to commemorate not his virtues but
the wrongs he inflicted upon his unhappy
country. Presuming that there are many
panels upon the aforesaid monument, we
would suggest TO the committee which has
the matter in charge a few designs which
may have escaped the mind of the one who
planned the same.
We would suggest on one panel picture of
divided country which was once at peace
and prosperous-divded by the abolition
tional rights. On another a picture of the
States, the provinces, or despotisms now ex-
listing in the South, under the iron heel of
Grant and the Rump Congress, which wars
npon the people of the subdued section, not
for the benefit OF the country, but for the en-
richment of the bondholders of New England,
who are day by day boasting that they hold
as their slaves the poor white men of the
North, South aud West.
We would suggest as a design for another
panel the enormous national debt created, not
to save the country, but to carry on the muir
derous crusade for cotton and negroes, for the
benefit of Lincoln's pets and hirelings-the
offscouripgs of creation, the picked-up
humanities from the tan-vaults, cutters,
prisons, saloons, and groggeries of the land.
We would suggest as another panel picture
representing the Staying of soldiers in the
South in the raids for cotton, mules, and
household goods, for the benefit of the homes
OF the loyal and Christian churches of the re-
Mc,ons in the North.
On another panel we would represent the
Immortal Lincoln with his legs crossed, pok-
ing his fingers into the ribs of staid and stolid
statesmen, as he endeavOred to impress them
with sense of his genius in the line of telling
nasty, smutty, vulgar stories, the good
people, the pious people, the children of the
land, all being taught to look up to him, the
most vulgar aud proiane of all, as pattern
sAint for them to copy after. On another panel

General Grants "FOreign Policy"

From the NJ Y. World.
The I lines had a leader, a few days since,
setting forth the great advantages which would
accrue to the country from the probable for
eign policy of General Grant. SO far-fetched
a topic of encomium has supplementive look,
and tends rather to belittle General Grant by
suggesting his deficiencies than to exalt him
in the estimation of reasonable men. 1t is
dressing him out in "a tawdry laced suit of
qualifications which nature never intended
him to wear" man who has given 80
little spontaneous attention to domestic
politics of course does not possess statesman's
knowledge of foreign affairs. AS to other
nations standing in greater awe of us in
consequence of General Grant being Presi-
dent it is the sheerest fiatteTy. His skill as
a soldier would avail us more if he were to
remain General of the Army than in his
new position; his civil duties as President
preventing his taking active command, if a
war should occur during his administration.
We are quite secure against a foreign war for
long period to come, unless we should be
the aggressors, and clearly in the wrong. Our
security does not lie in General Grants pres
tige as a soldier but in the prestige and
moral effect of our success in the late war;
which was conducted on so great a scale
and furnished such signal demonstration of
our stupendous resources and military energy.
The heroic resistance of the South has a ma
tional value in this respect as we'll as the in
domitable vigOr and vast resources of the
North since both would be available in q
foreign war. The great military abilities Of
