Year: 1862

1t Is my deliberate and solemn cOnvIc-
tion that here in the State of New York,
here, more even than upon the Shenan-
doah and in the valleys of Kentucky
is the battle being foug ght which is to pre-
serve our liberties and perpetuate our
country


Mr.. LINcoLN's ADMINISTRATION.


1 do not doubt that Mr.. Lincoln's
warmest friends, and the warmest friends
of his Cabinet officers, will admit that
mistakes have been committed, and con-
siderable mistakes; but that they have
labored faithfully and earnestly to save
this country, can myself bear witness,
and / believe that not even in this heated
canvass any man has dared to stand up
before you and say that Abraham Lin
coin was not an honest man, trying to
save his country What do these gentle
men propose2 Do they intend to super
sede this Administration by a revolution2
The more audacious among them have
dared to hint it Ifthey dared openly to
avow it they would be covered with in
fanny, and would not receive one in q
thousand of the votes which will now be
given by unrefecting men for their
ticket Does it need an argument to
prove that if this rebellion is put down at
all it must be done within the two years
and few months during which Mr.. Lin
coin must administer the Government?


What, then, can any hnneet P~triOt,
whose heart looks alone to the preserva-
tion of his country, do to sustain and
strengthen Abraham Lincoln? Advise
him; admonish him, if you will; and l
tell you no man receives the plain talk
of honest men, whether political friends
or opponents, with more pleasure and
more courtesy than Abraham Lincoln;
admonish him, if you will, but strengthen
and sustain him. Give him your lives
and fortunes and sacred honor, to aid
his honest efforts to put down this rebel
lion, and | venture 10 promise that be-
fore the end of his term the sun will
shine upon land unbroken in its terri
torial integrity, undiminished in its great
proportions, land where labor is every
where honorable, and the soil is every
where free. Mr. Lincoln has told you
that he would save this country with
Slavery if he could He has never said
to you that, if he could not save Slavery,
he would let the country 90. believe
that honest patriot would rather be
thrown into a molten furnace than to
utter a sentiment so Infamous


THE NAME OF ABoLITIoNIsr.


l know, for have sometimes felt, the
influence of the odium which the spu-
rious aristocracy who have so largely
directed the destinies of this nation for
three-quarters of a century have attached
to the word Abolition" They have
treated it, and too often taught US tc
treat it, as some low, vulgar crime, some
obscure offence not to be spoken of in
good society, or mentioned in fashion
able parlors. / know there are many
men still Influenced by this prejudice.
But let those who, in this hour of peril,
this struggle for life and death, shrink
from that odium, stand aside. The
events of this hour are too big for them
They may escape ridicule, but they can.
not escape contempt Their descend
ants, as they read these annals, and find
the names of their ancestors nowhere re
corded among those who came to the
rescue of their Government in the hour
of its greatest trial, will blush for shame


sEYMoUR's NEW MAP.


You are told by the candidates of this
an.i-war party which is springing up
that they will give you peace in ninety
days. / believe them; but, good God
what peacel-a peace which breaks
your country into pieces, a Mexican
peace, Spanish American peace, q
peace which inaugurates eternal war
What peace can they give you in ninety
days, or in any other time, which does
not acknowledge the Southern Confede
racy? 1t is thus they intend to give you
peace, by cutting your country in twain
| Let me ask you for moment if you
ever looked at the map of your country
which it is proposed to bring out-thi:
new and improved map of Seymour
Van Buren & Co-the map of these
"Let- em-go" geographers-a country
three thousand miles long, and but little
over one hundred miles in the middle
Why, they could not make such a coun
try stand until they got the map litho
graphed-nay, not even until they got i
photographed.


NEW YORK AND NEW WORKERS.
It is fifteen months since l have stood
upon the soil of New York until thii
