On ’Change In the meantime the | ment itsel!, and all our polities! institutions, are row in the hands of General Grant and the armies under his command, With hin encerss four way will be clear before us for a new © enach of power and progperit withont a paral- lel in the history of any pation; but, in the event of a failure on his part to demolish or disnerse the ermies of the rebo'ltion, who can tell us whether the Presidential election of November next will be decided by the ballot box or by force of arms? The Vresidential camnaioen will be shaned and determined frem the resu'ts of thia coming m ltarv campaign, In the interval, even to Jane, the events of a ainole day in the field of war may demoatish al! our existing Presidential ' parties, platforms and candidates. How vain and prenosterons, then, is all this eng’neering of cliqnes and factions for the anofla and p!nn- der of the enecession, Nay, how misehevous and demoralizing must this premature agitation of the next Presideney annenr to rational men, in view of the startling fact that the life of the ‘nation is in the hands of G-neral Grant, and | that within a month or two the issue miy be virtuatly decided for the Union or acainst il. | We know that all the advantages of superior numbers, reins and facilities for the work of this military campaign are in our favor; we do not lose sieht of the fact tha® the territorial area of the rebellion has been reduced, in a mi- | litary view, to less than one-half its oricinal | atrength; but we are still fizhting around a great circle, inside of which a rebel force of three tundrod thonsand men may possibly Nold five hundred thousand st bay throneh the com- ing season of active military operations, Tt becomes, then, the duty of all men, of every station and of every party, in the loyal States, to lay aside their Presidential bickerings and pipelaying for a time, and to join bands and work diligently to so strengthen General Grant as to seenro success to his military move- ments against all possible contingenc'es. In this view, while we call upon the cackling aboli- tioniste to stop thelr senselesa clamor ahout the negro, and upon the venomous copperheads to susnend their vicious hissing at “the powers that be,” we would alao earnestly appeal to the administration and its political agents to postpone the business of President making, at least for a month or two, fn order that, with singleness of purpose and without any embar- rassing ;ol'tical patchwork, they may devote their energies to the paramount business of the war. It is almogt universally believed that there would have been no military disaster in Flori- da like that of Olustee had there not been an overweening desire at Washington to burry un the political reorganization of the State in season to secure her three votes for the Baltimore June Convention. It is ap- parent that if Smith and Grierson had been sunported by # few thousand men as mounted infantry they could have effected a junction with General Sherman, which would have enabled him to push forward to Selma, in the heart of Alabama, and thence down the river and its line of bountiful supplies to Mo- bile. Those few thoasands of additional men could have been furnfsed from Arkansas bad they not been assigned to the political business of reorganizing that State according to the emancipation formu!a of President Lincoln. Yet, again: Had not General Banks been en- gaged in the same political tinkering in Loui ana he might, with a powerful co-operating land force, have opened the way with Admiral Farragut into Mobile. But to President Lin- coln’s political free State tinkering in Arkansas and Lonisiana is Jeff. Davis indebted for the fuilure of Smith, the failure of Farragut, and the failure of Sherman. Now, in behalf of a resblute and vigorons prosecution of the war under General Grant, we would appeal to President Lincola to sus- pend for a while this business of tinkering half subdued rebellious slave States into loyal free States, We have yet another patriotic sacrifice to ask of him, in view of his undivided atten- tion to the necessities of our armies, Let bim; following the example of Mr. Chase, formally withdraw from the field asa Presidential candi- date, and go a little further, in advising his sub- ordinate officials, great and small,all his political friends, to eddress themselves to the great work of putting down the rebellion, and the country will applaud him to the echo, Tn any event, as the adininistration will share the glory of General Grant's success, or the disgrece of ano‘her disastrous campaign, tt is | | the policy not less than the duty of President Lincotn to make all other objects, including a second term, subordinate to the speedy sup- pression of the rebellion, and a clear field for a peaceable Presidential election.

Upon a design to emancipate the negro the orginal abolitionists engrafted the hideous principle of amalgamaticn. At first the | idea, They were willing to free the negro; but they were unwilling to raise him to o political, much fess a social, equality with the whites, But by the. persistent and insidious efforts of the fanatical leaders, men of some lerning and | remarkable eloquence, aided by the secret machinations of Br tish apes’ ao! political agente, thore who were at the outset omy in- | clined to regard tavorably the emancipation project gradually suffered themselves to fall from one cegree of firmness and dignity to another, and fivally were led to, swallow the negro entire. Disgusted at first, they were tured to endure, then pity, then to embrace him—figuratively at first, but in the end literally. Men and women in New Engtand became crazy on the subject of tho negro, No human law was too high to keep bim in eubju- gation, no tabernacle too sacred to wep bim without its threshold, All bonse.cbl@ sancti- t es must give way before the negro; all human laws, and even divine ordinations, must go down that the negro might go up—that tho black should become the equal of the white. The public mind became feverish on the sub- ject. Demagogues were ready to seize every opportunity to turn to advantage the growing agitation, and, by bargains and coalitions as corrupt and hellish as any that Satan ever winked at, the abolitionists in the New Eng- land States finally became a formidable politi- cal power in the land. Then all the strength of the leaders became enlisted in the one great work—the emancipation and ‘tke social equali- ty of the blacks. Every pulpit rang with stories of the atrocities of Soutbern slavery. Theodore Parker, Wende!l Phillips, Lloyd Gar- rison, Thompson, the Englishman; Cheever, the preacher, and three thousand others, including Henry Ward Beecher, Greeley, of the Tribune; Wilson and Sumner in the Senate, and any number of small'potato politicians in the House of Representatives, all howled forth their de- runciations of slavery, and stung, taunted, robbed and murdered Southerners as they were holding fast to their constitutional rights. Everywhere where these disturbers of the pub- lic tranquillity and their eclioes—whose name was legion—cou!d secure a hearing tho doc- trine of abolition was hammered upon, until they finally involved the country in a horrible civil war; and thoy are now sailing smiliagly upon the sea of blood they created. Having succeeded, as they Lave boasted, in emancipating the blacks, they have already commenced their next—more properly their contemporaneous—-work of amalgamation. They no longer attempt to conceal their ob- ject or to delude their followers, as they did thirly years ago; but mow they openly pro- claim their beastly doctrines. The promul- gators of this infamous creed boldly avow their belief of the equality of the white and black races through their pamphlets, newspapers, pulpiis, and in all their public gatherings and private gossiping and scandal-mongering par- ties, and in their Gideonite coteries, wherever the Union arms have made a way for them to penetrate with their detestable doctrines. Pluming themsctves upon being the moralists par excellence of the age, nearly every principle they entertain and expound is grossly immoral on its face and revoltisg to human nature io fact. We have among us the high priests in this tabernacle of degratation and vice, the pillars of this vile temple of modera pollution, and every day or two society's sense of decency is shocked by some broad avermont of the wis- dom of miscegenation, the righteousness of the work of a general syetem of intermarriage between the whites and blacks. Greeley boldly declares that under certain circumstances he would “compel” white men to marry negroes, The Times—a bright mulatto on the subject of miscegenation—charges the Trilmne with pub- lishing articles showing thatit is a “wise thing for whites to marry blacks, Greeley cries— “Let the white man marry the bl woman: no one hag aright to interfere.” If any one accustomed to regard the sanctity and purity of the marriage tie, whore mind is not warped by free love and Youricrism—who has an appreciation of the ner attribuces of beman nature—who would not pollute the sacred stream of conjugal love by intermixing with it the gross and immoral impurities en- | gendered by the | volting and degrading doctrine born of the | pestiferous bed of politios—if any one porsess- ing the quality of a pure virtue ehonld bare made the declarations Greeley bas in favor of this beastly project of miscegenation, his articles and bis speeckes would have been cironmscribed to a cirele of congenial se- | quaintances, and’ his ideas perished, ae the emanation of a disensed ‘imagination, But, | coming from Greeley, of the Trihyi win notoriety, hy t e fact that Greeley n himself notorions by his monstrous inves upon the broad, white, pure and unpoliv social system that bas givon Amexioar tociely a name and a standing among the decent in every civilized net'on where respe known and ae peney ie appreciated. i Among the other piltare fn thie ‘empire of pole lution, a8 we learn frem the hwtler pamphlet on “miscegenation,” is “an eloquent young editor of the angelic type of Raphae!.”* This ie meant for Theodore Tilton, editor of the Independent. Tilton saye:— "Forget tiat the negro is black.” “The African tinted members of our community will gradually blanch om their blackness.” Int time “the negre of the Sontb, growing paler with every generation, will completely hide bis fave in the snow.” And thus Tilton, and Greeley, and Beeohor, fong of tht Divided into three fag. | sincere and honest abolitionists epurned the + ckless introduction of a re- | | ae 1 pie of miscegenation, rng out their degrStin, notions, and pray for their adoption by the great and tntelligent masses of the American Peop'e.

The authorship of this campaign volume is unknown, Probably it was compiled by Bryant, the poet, and Parke Godwin, the his- torian, of the Evening Post, in the columns of which paper a collection of these jokes recently appeared. Should this be 80, we congratulate Mesers. Bryant and Godwin upon having got ahead of Weed and Raymond; for Lincoln’s jokes are the essence of his life, and will make any further biography superfuous. But if Pres‘dent Lincoln w'stes to perpetuate a grand, final joke, which everybody will enjoy and thank him for, let him play a practical joke upon the politiclans by following Chase's noble example, and withdraw his name from the list of Presidential candidates, That. will be a joke worth laughing at. On the other hand, if be should persist in intriguing for a second term the joke may end seriously for all concerncd—in a Northera civil war and gene- ral bloodshed. Gevenar, Grayt ano tue Kircaen Cast | net.—Blair, the head cook, and Forney, the scullion, of the Kitchen Cabinet, do not like General Grant, and lose no opportunity of flinging slops and dirty water at him, in asly way, whenever he passes the area windows. Recently they baye accused General Grant. and the Herat of trying “to overthrow the constitution and laws.” We are confident that General Grant never had such an idea. Wo know that the Herat never had snch an idea. Projects “to overthrow the constitution and laws” always come from tte Kitchen Cabinet side of the house. ‘Tre only constitution and laws that General Grant intends to overthrow, and that the Heratp urges him to overthrow, are the Jeff. Davis constitution and the rebel laws. Forney and other members of the Kitchen Cabinet are afraid that be will do this too quickly, and that they may lose their places and pickings in consequence. That is all the trouble. Already they are preparing to inter- fere with him, as they interfered with Mc- Clellan and with Fremont, both of whom they unjustly removed from command in the face of the enemy and onthe eve of victory. We warn them, however, that General Grant is not the man, nor is the country in the mood, to endure such a repetition of disastrous inter- meddling. The moment it is seriously at- tempted General Grant will either force these wretches to beg his pardon and retire from the administration, or be will throw up his com- mission and appeal to the people, who will support him against all conspirators. This is what General McClel!an should have done. This is what General Fremont should have done, This is what General Grant will do. So jet the Kitchen Cabinet and the other Cabinet beware how they trifle with the hero of Vicks- burg.
