Abrain and Columbia. From the Boston Courier. Lank Abran lolled in his library chair, Consulting "Joe Miller" and "Vanity Fair," When in swept Columbia, careworn and pale.

Bat dauntless and haughty 'mid Fortune's a&siil "Come steward'flhe aaid "now, explain if you can. W hy.ehan't I discharge you and try a new man 7" Than Abram the wily replied with a grin: "A Dutchman once aaid, in the county of Qolnn, (The itory is old, but in point as I deem,) Taint safe to swap horses w hen crossing a stream.' j ,, Cease sirrah, yourjesting! remember," she said; 'My fields with the blood of my yeomanry red! The wail of the widow, the orphan's sad eye, Rebuke the tude trifling of lowly or high. My children are warriBg along my pcen slopes I come for your counsels, your plans and your hopes." Quoth Abram, "Don't swap, for 3 sure as a gun, This thing, it is certain, must never be done. Your biler will bust if you bother the steam 'Taint safe to swap horses when crossing a stream," "But steward," she answered, "my debts are untold Account for my treasures of silver and gold; Hard taxes are n rasted from labor's brown hand, Yet pledged in my income and mortgaged my land ; Your squanderings waste what the plunderers mies; Three years of your follies have brought me to this !" And Abram replied, as he Btraddled his chair, "You know, my dear, madam, I'm honest and square. To shelve a tried President, don't ever dream 'Taint safe to swap I orses when crossing a stream." 'You crouch to John Bull, lor Frenchdcspot3 hurrah, You cringe to the Spaniatd. and toady the Czar; My shield cannot shelter a poor rcfugea, My commerce is hunted all over the sea. How fallen am I the Queen of tho West, Who walked among Nation, more proud than tho best." "'Tis true," said the steward, "I notice your fix; But let the pot boil, and je?t tote up the sticks, Don'l muddle the milk if you hope to get cream; Taint safe to swup horses when crossing a stream." 'Sir, 6incc you pcreidt in your quips and your cmnkf. Where i2 Kosccran?, Cameron, Scott and Nat Banks 1 Pray, wh' do you 'üTap,' if removal won't cure. When Fremont was fast and McClellan was sure?" And quelling her teaw, she demanded reply, With clouda on her brow and a Harne in her eye. f "Tliat 'minds me," ßatd Abrain, ef old Deacon Hruce What's sass for th pander ain't sa?s for Mie zoo Things ain't at all times sez he, 'quite vhat they eeem. 1 ami sale to swap norsc w neu crosaiu u on taw "Enough !" cried Columbia, "my future I eec Ruin, havocjand death in the homes of the free; Fair Libertv'stabued by the lords of misrule. While, thoughtless, ghc laughs at tho freaks of their tool.

Squash Hamlin, and Government's rid of its vice; But don't you turn tail at a Copperhead tcream; 'Taintsafe to swap hordes when crossing a stream." Colu mbia, disgusted, wouldjistcu uo more, Hut tried in a rage, as she stormed through the door, "I have kept an old donkey for nearly lour years. Who briuj;s tvv but scorn Hid disasters and tears !

On the 4th of March, 1801, Mr. Lincoin ia his inaugurl address, ßaid : 4,I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe 1 h ive no lawful right to do so, aud I have no iutention to do go. Those who nominated ilc, and elected me, did so with the full knowledge that I had nmdc this and many similar declaration, aud have never recanted them. And more than thirf, they placed iu the platform for my acceptance, as a law to themselves and mo, the clear and emphatic resolution which I now read : lleßolvtd, That the maintaiiiancc inviolate of the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order aud control its own domestic institutions according to its own judgment, exclusively, is essential to the balance of power on which the perfection and endurance of our polit ical fabric depend; and we denounce the lawless invasion by an armed force of the soil of any State or territory, no matter under what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes." Iu the same address Mr. Lincoln, also remarks : 'Suppose you go to war, 30U cannot light always, mid when, after much fuss on both sides and 110 gaiu on cither, you cease fighting, the? old identicul questions as to terms of intercourse arc again upon you." In theclegant language of thc".J, resident "after much fuss on i.th Hides," twice have the rebels attempted to negotiate terms of intercourse. Once Aloxaudcr H. Stephens, whose ability ai;d purity of character cannot be questioned, was .sent on Mich a it' lesion, but he was not permitted to disci' S3 terms of intercourse. A few days ago a tothcr effort was made of a similar character. AVc know not what prop-

to-jtiuiis the rcl-el negotiators had tosuhmi but certainly no harm could arise from knowing what they were. It appears that Mr. Lincoln was willinirto receive Messrs. Clay aixl lloleomh as the accredited agents of an independent power, but he prescribed conditions in advance which lie knew could not be accoptcd without humiliation. That condition was the surrender of "the right of each State to control its own domestic institutions, according to its own judgment, exclusively," a right wlüch Mr. Lincoln himself pronounced tobe essential to the balance of power, on which the perfection and endurance of our pulitical fnbric depend. If we have read aright to correspond-

enco between the agents of Mr. Lincoln and those of the Confederate States at Niagara, there was a reasonable prospect

that terms of intercourse between the beligercnt parties upon the very basis which Mr. Lincoln laid down in his inaugural as a law to themselves and to run), of those who nominated and elected him. Pocs not, then, tho fearful rcspon sibiKty for rejecting overtures for peace, upon the very conditions upon which the perfection and endnrance of our political fabric depend, rest solely with Mr. Lincoln and his advisers? It is not only time that the fearful sacrifice of blood and treasure should cease, but that the men who bar the door to conciliation upon the very terms laid down by tho party iu power as necessary to the preservation of our free institutions, should be held to a rigid re sponsibility ? Vic believe that there has never been a day from the beginning of the war, but reconciliation and recoustruc tiou could have been accomplished, if the partisans in power would have permitted it, upon the basis of the resolution of the Chicago platform quoted by Mr. Lincoln, if faithfully and honestly carried out.Siatc Sentinel. 1 Loyal Protest. The interest awakened by the recent movements tending towards 4lic paciOcatiou of the country is fairly reflected by the press of all parties. The thoughts and hopes of the nation are turned towards, peace, and the public sentiment watches with eager solicitude the events and dis cushions bearing upon this vital and ab sorbing question. Now that it is broad ly before the people of Loth sections, there is little danger that its importance will be dwarfed by partisan artifices or interested designs of political leaders. This fact is beginning to be understood. .Sagacious politicians who have hug watched the currents of public opinion, r.ii.i are acquainted with the arts by wLl.-!i they may occasionally be led into aud couScod withiu prepared channels, aud know also the omens threatening a deluge beyoud their contrtd, are accommodating themselves to the tide which is sweeping with resistless force towards au early and honorable peace. In proof, wc cite the assurance of the New 1'ork Trllxiae '-that the pacification of the country is neither so difficult nor distant as seems lo be generally supposed," and append, in addition, sundry extracts from the New York Times vi' the 2od iustmt: The President made but two conditons to the reception and consideration of any proposition for the restoration of peace, whie hshould come to him from competent authority: first, that it should embrace the h teyrityof the whole Union: second that it should embrace the abandonment of slave ry. c believe he might have gone still further than this; he might have omitted the second of these conditions altogether, and required the first ahme, as es3cutiul to the reception and consideration of proiosals for peace." After asserting with much emphasis that the President cannot consider any proposals looking towards disruptions, the TiuKS proceeds: "But it is not so with slavery, with confiscation, while thedoctrine of State rights, with the assumption of the rebel debt, or with any other question growing out of the war, or connected with it, in its origin or its progress, iu any way, or however closely. These questions were open to discussion before the war commenced, and they arc open yet. It "3 the right of both sides to be heard upon them, for both sides arc to be affected by them, it needs but little reflection to convince any candid man that their discussiou aud settlement by concurrence must enter into any peace which will be cither possible or worth prcserving. The subject is summed in tho subjoined extract: "The time has come when the South should understand that the one thing and the only thing which shuts them away from us which binds up between them rind us an impassable wall of separation. which shuts our cars to every claim or demand they e 111 make upon us, which steel our hearts against them and strengthens our arms or their destruction -is that they arc waging war Jbr the destruction of tch Union." The dignified and just rebuke administered to Mr. Lincoln in these extracts, for his announcement that ho would not receive propositions of pcacj which did not embrace "the abandonment of slavery," will wo trust, be received nn evidence of patriotism ami independence in a journal which has hitherto been noted for the case with which it sacrificed its own views to adopt those of ihe l 'resident. Upon the reception of tho Niagara correspondence, we said the President had placed his party in a false position and that it ought to repudiate his action; that he must fall under the issues he presented to the nation. The extracts wc have quoted nrc evidence that his most prominent and influential partisans are conscious that they cannot enter tho Presidential omtest withj a lpc of success, if he adheres to the purpose expressed in his manifesto to the rebel Commissioners ut Xingara. Chief jo Tinet.

The Finances and the Future.

A Boston Abolition paper, in dilating upon "the advantages of investments in United ßates stocks," thus exposes the partiality given to government creditors: $1G6,GG6 in United States Stocks, at 101 per cent, cost $173,333, Interest received in gold $10,000 now worth 37,000 Taxes. State and City nothing Thxc8, U S,. .......... 650 Nct.iMCOQie $26,350 $173,333 invested in mot tgages or other property, giving six percent, will giro per annum $10,400 Taxes State and city : per cent en $173,333 $3,600 U. S. 10 per ct. ou $10,400 1.040 U,S, Sptrcent 520 4,160 Net income, !a paper. $5,340 1 it win oe seen mat me law makes a uitfernce of $18,000 per year, in tho above estimate, between the man who lends his money to old Abe to carry on the present Abolition crusade, and the one who refuses to do so, and yet, with all this advantage to government lenders over others, the money cannot be obtained. The United States are actually in the market offering 1512 per cent for money, and cannot obtain it, while individuals can get any amount they wish upon real estate for 6 per cent; and even less, for allowing for the difference in taxation, the money loaned on real estate really only nets about 3 12 per cent. Here, then, is the significant fact for the poeple to think of. The government is offering nearly five times as much for money as is paid in ordinary ousiness, and yet cannot get it. And yet we arc told by the Abolition newspapers that the public have unlimited confidence in the financial soundness of the country. These facts, however, tell another story. The truth is, sensible aud thoughtful men have no confidence whatever in the finances. They know the debt is nearly double the published amount, and that no dependence is to bo placed upon the promises of the present Administration. It has been a gigantic cheat and falsehood from the begining, both politically and financially. If it were even honestly fanatical, there would be palliation, for its numberless and unexampled outrages, but its course has been such a vile mixture of devilish cunning and cruel malignity, that it has nothing to recommend it to forgivness for a single one of its atrocities. It has burdened the white laboring masn . . - - ?OS fit Jllia noiintw niwl rrrtunrotinna cfill unborn, with a debt, for the purpose of ucgrading them to a level with negroes. It has taken the clothes from their backs and the food from the mouths of their little ones, in order that lazy niggers may port in "sojer cloths or bask iu the sun in idle indolence. To-day it is feeding thousands of useless niggers and still more useless nigger missionaries from New Englaud, out of the Treasury, the taxes for which arc wrung from the swet and toil of the laboring classes. "White men expeud their impatient energies in tho broiling sun to Iced contrabands and support a standing army to overthrow liberty in half of the States of the country. White women arc now compelled to work in our harvest fieldcs, as in Europe, to take the place of the men whose lives have been sacrificed to the negro idol. Such is the condemnation of our land, groaning under a debt that will never be paid, and yet the madmen are calling for more men and more money to keep up the slaughter and destruction. Fifteen per cent can be obtained for blood money and only three per cent for peace purposes, and yet so great is the growing feeling against this Abolition crusade, that the exchequer of despotism is empty. The people desire an end of tha bloody drama. They are sick of the sight of soldiers' uniforms. They had better be laid asido for the simple garb of the industrious workman, who adds to the wealth and glory of the country, who is a producer instead of a destroyer. All the laws that Congress can pass to tempt money into the coffers of the present Administration will not suffice to enable it to accomplish its designs. The word ''failure" is written upon every step of progress. Even in the hour of their most conspicuous successes, they have accomplished nothing. They capture a city, but the people are not conquered. They "free" the negroes, and yet they arc "slaves." All they can boast of as 8ure, are ruin, desolation and death in the path of their invading armies, taxation and poverty at the North, desolation and misery at tho South, and should a frowning Providence allow these madmen to succeed in all they propose, tho South would be a howling wilderness and the North a diseased mongolism, whose innate corruption would inevitably compel it to perish in its own rottennesa !

twisimanderfi of the 73d Reff. Ind. Vol. To the Editor of the La Porte I 'ntoni Al a meeting of the non-commissioned officers and privates of the 73d Ind. Vols. held at Triana, Ab. July 13th, 1804, the following Preamble aud Resolutions were read and adopted: Whereas, More than a year ago it pleased an all wise Provideuce to take from us our worthy Commander, the father of our regiment Col. Gilbert Hathaway; and whereas, circumstances have been such that no manifestation of our feelings relative to the sad event, has yet been made, we, the non-commissioned officers and privates of the 73d Ind., even at this late date, desire to express our deep eorrow at his sudden removal from among us; to condole with his bereaved family and friends at home, and pay a merited of respect to his memory; therefore, n 7 rri.-i i .1 it Jiesoivcuj xnaii m 11 is ueaiu wcuiuaru) the loss of one of uod g noblest works; an honest man; a warm hearted friend; a noble, sel-f sacrificing patriot; and an unswerving commander in time of battle. He became endeared to us by tho hard fought battle of Wednesday at Stone Kivcr, and the engagement at Day's Gap, Crooked Creek, and Blount's Farm in Ala. ßesoh'cd, That while we greatly lament his loss, wc shall ever deeply sympathize with his disconsolate wife, children, and friends at home, and ever cherish the memory of his name and good deeds in warm and appreciative hearts. His last words were fitting evidence of his noble principles and undying devotion to his country. "I am dying," said he, "but I trust in a good cause." Calm be hisslumter; his labors are done ; In the smoke of the battle no more gleams his sword; Iiis life-battles ended, his victories won, A martyr, he Bleeps for the Hag he adored. Hesolvcd, That a copy of these Resolutions be sent to Mrs. Hathaway, and also to the Laporte Lnioa aud 11-raid, for publication. Also, at the same meeting, the following Preamble and Resolutions, relative to the Resignation of Lt. Col. I. N. Walker, were read and adopted: Whereas, The health of our commanding officer, Lieutenant Col. I. N. Walker, having been such as to compel him to f.bandon the service of his country for a less exposed life, wc, the non-commissioned officers and privates of the Tod Ind. A'ols. desire to manifest our esteem and high appreciation of his perviec as a commander; therefore, Hcsolved, That wc deeply regret that circumstances were such as to cause his departure, and that in his resignation the army has lost a true and efficient, officer, and the world at home, gained a good and worthy citizen; for in him wc recognize the perfect gentleman; the brave soldier; and the kind hearted friend and commander. Resolved j That while he, now no longer our commanding officer, goes from us as a free citizen again of the United States, the iood toill and best wishes of the "Roys" of the 73d go with him. May happiness attend him through nil succeeding years, and may his battles 'flife all prove glorious and honorable victories. Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions be sent to- Col. Walker, and also to the county papers generally through all tho 9th Congressional District of Ind. for publication. C. F. Kimball, Pres. Jacob Rarnaud, Sec'y. The editor of the Newark Journd, for certain strictures by him on the Presinent's last call for five hundred thousand men, has been arrested and held for trial hnfi-nvk ft TTnWfil Statna CiiniiitiKrttOflPr. before a United States Commissioner. whereupon the leading shoddy misccgen newspaper philosophizes in the subjoined sensible strain "We shall all agree that this is a far wiser course than the summary arrest of an editor, and hasty suspension of offending papers by telegraphic order. The law is potent. The respect which Anglo saxon civilization has for the constable is not disregarded, but conciliated. The form, as well as tho essence, of law is observed. And yet the process is equally effective, and the security of the government against factious attempts to obstruct the necessary measures equally well defended." The assumed certainty that "wc shall all agree" as to the propriety of the course pursued in this case takes rather too much on trust. Those who have been in the habit of arresting editors and busjKiuding uowsp.ipers by telegraphic order will be slow to concede the foolishness ami criminality which argument in the above conclusions necessarily involves. If ;'thc law is potent," how has it happened that telegraphic orders have suppreeded statutory process? How has it happened that both the form and essence of law have been set aside by the arbitrary caprice of ministers of the law? It is conceded that there has been uo necessity, military or otherwise, for the exercise of such despotism, yet the journal which now condemns the crime ud- . . ... 1 voeates tlie retention 01 me criminals the offices they have disgraced.
