And yet, the Abolition papers pick up his romance as if it were reliable in fortnation; but in doing so , mark how they ekpose their own duplicity. From the day of the Chicago Conven tion,-until Walker's letter appeared, the effort 'of , the. 'Abolition press was to prove that its action meant peace; now the Pittsburgh Commercial, among the rest of its set, declares that instead of the Convention "meaning peace of any kind," it meant "foreign war;" and this change of opinion is produced by a letter, written in London by Robert :T. Walker, an individual who earns a precarious subsistence there by per forming certain "chores" for our Ad ministration, the last of which is the sensational letter in question. It the reader will reflect a moment he will see how impudent a fabrication this letter of Walker's is. If Napoleon and the English Ministry desired to recog nize southern independence, what is there to deter them from doing it? If they wished it why wait until AleClel lan is elected? Has not our Adminis tration cowed before John Bull, in every controversy which has risen between them since the rebellion began? Where is there an instance, from the giving up of Slidell and Mason at the peremptory demand of Lord Lyon, the English Min ister, until to-day, that Secretary Sew ard has not disgraced the position once occupied by a Webster and a Marcy whenever he has been called upon to confront the English Minister? And yet Robert J. Walker writes that all England desires in order to recognize. the Southern Confederacy, is the remov al of the present Administration from power! Robert J. Walker and his Abo lition employers, must imagine the peo ple of the United States singularly ap prehensive of England, if they expect them to believe any such transparent absurdity. As for Napoleon, the least slid in re gard to his contemplated operations, after the deft-at of Lincoln, the better. He has done pi ecisely as he pleased upon this continent, ever since Lincoln has been President. Under the pretext of collecting a few debts in Mexico, he in vaded that Republic, usurped its peo ple's liberties, and finally established an Empire, and all with the consent and approbation of our Administration. Is he then the man to wait until Lin coln is out of power, for fear of ender taking anything he desires to accom plish? The mere statement of it expos es its absurdity. Were the Democracy in possession of the government, we would have peace , with the South in three months after. All that is necessary to bring it about is for our government to give the seceded states a chance to return to their alle giance. This Lincoln will not do, the consequence of which will be—in the . event of his re-election, continued war with the South, until both parties be come so exhausted as to invite the for. eign intervention alluded to. Baf elect McClellan, and peace with the South will certainly follow; then with a united country we can soon drive Maximilian from Mexico, and raise our national reputation to what it was before Abolit ionism obtained control of it, and re duced it to a third class power in the estimation of Christendom. Instead of McClellan's election inviting foreign in tervention in our affairs, it would be re garded as the prelude to a restored Union, which would be an admonition to all creation that we were about once more to stand erect, and Immune our former enviable position in the family of nations. !; g M "Teaching the Young Idea." Some patriotic and amiable young la. dies, teachers in the First Ward public school, have, we understand, introduc— ed politics into their departments; and, if Democratic children object to voting for Lincoln, the dear creatures grow in dignant and chastise them accordingly. If these sweet tempered Abolition crea ures would reflect a moment, they would at once perceive that the Demo crats of the first ward pay school taxes for quite a different object than having their children taught Abolitionism. It may be, however, that some of the teachers in question may be growing antiquated, and that they expect to suc ceed IA their matrimonial aspirations by the profeasion, pt extreme Abolitionism.

DOYLESTOWN, PA., October 11th, 1864. My Dear Sir: Your letter of the 2d Inst., I found waiting me a few days ago, on my return home after being mus tered out of the service of the United States. While In the army I abstained entirely from politics, for I deprecate a political-officer or soldieznext to a po iltical preacher; but having become a citizen again, I am free to declare my sentithents on the issues of the day. My mind has undergone no change in regard to the rebellion; I believed it to be wicked and causeless when it broke out, and I am of the same opinion now. There was no occasion for civil war to settle the real difference between the sections of the Union. Had not the bad men of the North joined hands with the same class from the South, our troubles would:have been settled vi ithout shedding a drop of blood. There seemed, how ever, a mutual desire for blood-letting; which.it would , seem both parties have had to the heart's content. Whatever settlement there may be in the future, none will meet my approbation that leaves us a divided country and a ruined nationality. In the language of General McClellan's letter of acceptance, "The Union must be preserved at all haz ards." Judging the administration of Mr. Lincoln by the ordinary tests, it has been a wonderful failure, and the Amer ican people should indignantly refuse him the power of the country for an-. other four years. Never before was a ruler so well supported by men and means to carry on a war. When the struggle began the universal opinion of the people showed that the patriotic im pulse was touched. There was no di vision worthy to be such, until it; ap peared evident that the war was no longer to be conducted to restore the Constitution and the Union, but to ad vance the partizans of those in power. Now, after we have had in arms two millions and a half of men, and con tracted a public debt of nearly lour thousand millions of dollars, the resto ration of peace and harmony appears almost as distant as ever. This is mainly caused by the bad management of the war, and the policy connected with it. The administration appears to have stu died how to i ivide the people of the North and unite those of the South, when common sense would have taught the opposite policy. They have done exactly those things the rebel leaders told their people the Republicans would do when they obtained power. While war should be waged sternly against those in arms, the olive branch should extended to those who remain at home and their persons and property protect ed. Non-combatants have been treated with unnecessary cruelty; the destruc tion of private property unwarranted; and altogether the people of the South have been led to believe it was the poll cy of the government to subjugate them as to whip the rebel armies. To day, I am sorry to believe, the South is more united against us than when the war began. The administration has been blind to the first principle to be studied in war; to so conduct it that you weaken your enemy and strengthen yourself. There has never been, in the history of government, a more noted instance of violation of official pledges. The promises the President and his party made to the people when they asked for power in 1860, and upon affirming in 1861, have been violated with a falsity that shows a low standard of political morals among our rulers. The Presi dent declared in his Inaugural address that he had "no law or right to inter fere with the institution of slavery'' where it existed, and that it was not his intention or desire to do so. Those who have read his Emancipation proclama tion and other kindred acts, know how these promises have been broken to the people. His treatment of the people of the Border States have been creel in the extreme; they have been governed as a subjugated race, and not as freemen, whom every noble idipulse would dic tate the greatest consideration in their peculiar situation. His policy in this regard has nearly lost us Kentucky arid Missouri, which cast their lot with the Federal government by a vote of their people. The administration has changed the policy of the government in regard try the negro.- It is now made the coming man, and distinction between the white and black races is practically abolished by them. The employment of negroes in the military service of the United Stake is the first step in their policy to ward bringing them to the polls to con trol the ballot box. The right of suffrage will be claimed for them as a reward for their services in the army, and Pennsyl vania and other States will be asked to change their Constitutions to accommo date them. is it not humiliating that we have to rely upon the negro, an enslaved race we have always oppressed, to tight our battles? The pride of the white man should have rebelled against such a de grading policy. In addition to this I consider there to be great danger to the country in their employment as soldiers. It has given them a power they never before possessed or dreamed of. It is by no means certain that when the war is over they will quietly lay down their arms and return to a peaceful life with out an attempt at least, to avenge the wrongs of their race. If a leader should be wanted for such a purpose, he will not have to be looked for beneath a black akin, for the Abolition party have al ready furnished a John Brown. In the only three instances in the world where a purely mercenary race was bred to arms in a State, they became so danger. oils to its safety that they were obliged to be put to death. The history of the Praetorinm guard of Rome, the Jani zaries of Turkey, and the Mamelukes of Egypt shobld not be lost upon us. In the hands of the Administration the Constitution of the United States has not had much more binding force than a rope of sand. They appear to have violated it at pleasure. The 4th article of the amendments provides that, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses,papers,and effects, against unreasonable searches and seiz ures, shall not be violated, and no war rants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation; and particularly describing the place to be searched and the person or thing to be seized." I need not recount to you how after this provision of the Consti tudon has been violated, which is an nexed by the hundreds and thousands who have been torn from their homes, without authority of law, and shut up in military prisons. In hardly a single instance have persons thus arrested been brought to _trial, and after months and even years of 4mprccremen4 those who have been discharged ,were turned out of thateprisonswithotit Awing : Made ac qUalAgeol. With th'ecaTO' ' pf their arrests. Toliroteetilie ant:hi - ire .of these outrages on the- of -thearople ; . Congress passed a law on the'3l of March, 1863, ' „which provides, "That any order of the president, or under his authority, made• isit any time during the existenee of the, present rebellion shall be a defence in; all courts to any action. - or prosecution, civil and criminal, forenyillegalulrest or seizure mace or done by hinOirtiff order. This gives the Adthinistratiolf license to do anything and protect them in. it. At this rate it will not take. our: Government long to become a despotism as cruel as Russia. Can it be possible that the American people will entrust power a second time to such irrespon aible agents? . You remars in your letter that "From your (my') antecedents I suppose you are for "Little Mac." lam a supporter of McClellan for the Presidency, be cause I believe him to be loyal to the Constitution and the Union, a patriot and statesman, ancrwhose conservative views will bring us peace and; harmo nize the country. Bad the war been conducted on the principles he advo— cates I am satisfied we should have had peace ere this. Had the Administration Lriven him half the support it has since General Grant, he would have taken Richmond in the summer of 1862, and at that early day driven the rebel ar mies into the cotton States. But it was no part of the programme that he should conquer the rebellion and become the hero of tho war; which fully explains the bad conduct of the Administration toward him. The beet military talent of the country was sacrificed at the shrine of party politics. I supported him in the field, and will support him at the ballot box. The political contest now pending is the most important since the foundation of the Government. Our Republican institutions are being rapidly changed to a central despotism, and the re-elec tion of Mr. Lincoln will lead to further changes against the rights of the people without the authority of law, 1 do not believe it to be in the power of the pres ent Administration to bring us peace with a restored Union. If continued in power they 'will exhaust the loyal States in a war that Mr. Lincoln nqw declares is for the Abolition of negro slavery, until our material interests are broken down by excessive taxation. His card "To whom it may concern" proclaim that he will listen to no proposition for peace from the enemy that does not em brace the abandonment of slavery. How long will the American people sutler themselves to be taxed, and furnish their sons and brothers, to carry on the war for this purpose? They love the union of their fathers and will make great sacrifices to restore it—but a war tor no other purpose cau receive their united and patriotic support. Hoping a triumph at the polls in No vember will crown our exertions, with success, I remain yours truly, • W. W. H. DAVIS Right of Habeas *Corpus The following extract from the Ad— dress of B. H. Gillett esq. delivered at the Columbia County N. Y. Democrat ic Convention, Sept. 17th. 1864, is a true statement of the rights of the citizens under the Habeas Corpus and the laws relative to the Freedom of speech and of the Press. In a well sustained and log ical argument of considerable length, he proves how Mr. Lincoln has outraged public opinion in sweeping away the safeguards provided by the Constitution and Laws for the protection of the peo ple. Tito Habeas Corpus The habeas corpus was provided by an early act cf Coligress, and the judciary are required to issue the writ and to act under it. Being a statute law it can on ly be suspended—temporarily repealed --by a law enacted by Congress. The President is not clothed with power to repeal or suspend a law. The Constitu Lion forbids its suspension, even by Con gress, "unless when in cases of rebel lion or invasion the public safety may require it." In violation of law Mr. Llncoln not only suspended it in States w here there was no war, and where pub lic safety did not require it, but the au thorized military officers of the lower grades to do so when they should see tit, This wrong was so apparent that Con gress legislated for their protection against suit, and passed an act concern ing its suspension, Without constitu tional authority, instead or judging and acting for themselves and suspending the old law, they authorized the Presi dent and his subordinates to do what the Le•gisL;htre alone could do. It fol— lows that all the acts done or authorized by the President, and those under him, are unconstitutional. They arc viola tions of the rights of those who have been denied the privilege of this writ. Freedom of Speech and of the Press The Constitution provides that uo law shall be passed "abridging the freedom of speech or of the press." Without any law, the Administration has arrest ed a large number of men for exercising freedom of speech, imprisoning some and sending others out of the States where our flag waves. It has refused the use of the mails, in violation of the law, to carry newspapers, while it has entirely suppressed others for merely telling the truth and questioning its pol icy. Sometimes it has imprisoned edit ors. The leading Democratic papers are not allowed to Circulate in the army. Is this the freedom of speech and of the press which the people desire ? The Republicans Alarmed The report recently received from the secret agent s of the administration in Jiff, rent parts of the country, have filled the Republican leaders with alarm. It is found that Mr. Lincoln is unexpected ly weaker than his party, and will ob tain a much smaller vote than was re ceived by other Republican candidatesin the late elections; on the other' hand, General McClellan:a personal popularly is so great that he will run far ahead of the Democratic state and local tickets. So alarmed are the Republican magnates, that it is understood they have issued orders to concentrate every effort in the states popularity cansidered as sure for the Republicans. It is noticeable that Mr. Greeley and other leading men of the party have been hard at work in Vermont, and others are now stumping Massachusetts vigorously. No farther efforts are to be made to carry New- York, Pennsylvania, or Illinois, which up to the time of the October elections the administration considered as doubt ful, but which it now has no hope of carrying. In regard to Massachusetts, the Democrats - will probably gain two Congressmen, (Messrs Abbott and Sleep er) and perhaps four and strenuous ef forts are making to prevent such a result. From this time to November 8, you may look for vigorous attempts on the part of the Republicans to preserve their supremacy in such states as Massachu setts, Vermont, Maine, and lowa. The importance to the Republican party of an overwhelming majority in the next Congress is very great., especially in view of the probability of there being a Democratic Executive after next March.
