gger, and which has its beginning and end in the President's library? If we get at the condition of the Rebel mind with any accuracy from a careful perusal of Jefferson Davis's speeches, it is certain that, for the present, it has no leaning towards compromises and does n't pant to be conciliated. It hears of the victories of its Northern Democratic friends with infinite nonchalance. It does n't vouchsafe a Thank you!, to any of its volunteer Knights in the loyal States. It laughs at Saulsbury and with great justice, since it is not given to any mortal to sit upon two stools at the same time. No human being can gaze with profound respect upon a Union Senator with Secession principles. The late Democratic victories which cost so much money, and hard swearing, and sinfully persuasive speeches, and general and unblushing self-stultification, are regarded by the rebels with a really cruel contempt. Gov. Seymour may be ready to fall weeping upon the neck of Jefferson Davis, but Da

bolted and why they are fighting and bleeding and dying. For if ever men gave a clear reason for pursuing a particular course, the Seceders have assigned the election of Abraham Lincoln as an all-sufficient defence of their folly and sin. They waited for the result of the Presidential canvass, and because it was not to their mind, they betook themselves to the heroic remedy of treason. It is not pretended — no man in his senses will pretend, that if Breckenridge had been elected, even South Carolina would have refused to acquiesce. The truth is, that Mr. Senator Saulsbury does not see, in his volunteer defense of the Rebels, that in ingeniously making out a case for them, he proves too much either for their patriotism, or their honesty or their sincerity. It is cruel to take John Brown out of their mouths. It is unfriendly to deprive them of their pet grievances — the Liberty Bills. It is ungenerous to deny that the election of Lincoln generated Secession. Take away these cause
Scandal (search for this): chapter 82
Saulsbury's Sentiments. Mr. Scandal in the play declares that Astrology is a most valuable science, because, according Albertus Magnus, it teaches to consider the causation of causes in the causes of things. We suspect that Mr. Senator Saulsbury must devote his leisure hours to occult learning; for last Thursday his givings-out were extremely weighty and oracular; and if he could but have kept his temper, which we are sorry to say he lost in the most unphilosophical manner, his utterances would have been prodigiously solemn. Every gentleman in this free and enlightened country is at liberty to reason badly, should he chance to have a propensity for bad reasoning; but when a Senator comes back from the Christmas holidays in a condition of complete obfuscation, we are apt to think that the wassail-bowl has been too much for his everyday intellectuals.

It is indeed curious. This Union Senator Saulsbury, who is n't a Rebel, who has n't been swused to acquiesce. The truth is, that Mr. Senator Saulsbury does not see, in his volunteer defensethese causes, and why the Rebellion at all? Saulsbury says it was because of the assertion of the right to abolish Slavery. Saulsbury may say so, but the Seceders don't say so, and never have saidevidences in Courts of Justice, nor should Mr. Saulsbury offer them as such in the Senate of the Unsuppose that we understand the reason of Senator Saulsbury's diatribe.

mas holidays in a condition of complete obfuscation, we are apt to think that the wassail-bowl has been too much for his everyday intellectuals. In descanting upon the causes of things, Mr. Saulsbury thus enlightens the universe: The raid of John Brown, the Liberty Bills, or the election of Abraham Lincoln, were not the causes of this war, but the assertion of the right to abolish Slavery and the evidence of such a purpose. As a specimen of assertion perfectly naked and therefore unusually ctruth is, that Mr. Senator Saulsbury does not see, in his volunteer defense of the Rebels, that in ingeniously making out a case for them, he proves too much either for their patriotism, or their honesty or their sincerity. It is cruel to take John Brown out of their mouths. It is unfriendly to deprive them of their pet grievances — the Liberty Bills.

After all conceivable negotiations and tender diplomacy, we come back again to dry knocks at last, and one of the driest of these, if we may credit Saulsbury, is the Emancipation Proclamation.

No newspaper that supported Mr. Lincoln--no public man who canvassed for him — no Republican, who as a Republican voligent Seceder knows, they were not Republicans, and they did not vote for Abraham Lincoln for the all-sufficient reason that they never voted at all. As a mere matter of fact, we believe that if the Seceding States had quietly acquiesced in Mr. Lincoln's election, they would have immeasurably strengthened their favorite institu
