SUBJUGATION and EXTEUMINATION. Any half- j

I know, would not suit the members of our PAR

j If you take the trouble to collect TB? A E frac
tions, you find that according to them .fie Un
ion people in the South in 1861 composed for
. ty ihree AND seven-tenths per cent., of nenrb
halt of the whole popul ition, while NOW thei
F.' F L, RM but thirteen and six-tenths per cent, C
It 1 population. This tells A strange tale. I:
, shows that the war, so far AS relates to resin - -
j ing the olu Union, is A conspicuous failure, AXA
I has managed to convert the old Untqaists intr
I armed rebels. IVe have gained in territory,
P we have secured important strategic positions
■, and put an en-I to whatever commerce tin
J bouth may have had ; but at ti.E SA NE time wt
I ha ve thoroughly alienated the hearts of its pco
• pie from ourselves and from fhe old Union
J which U.I both once professed to love. '1 his is a
T natural result of the PJLICY which wc nrged Ul>
L on the government, and which if AT last a Icpted.
I Ihe removal of Rue!! and A!CU' UNA because
ot their lenient treatment of the southern pop
; elation, and the infusion of a more stringent
policy, had the proper effect 011 the army. In
stead of treating the southerners as misguided
friends to be won back to an old love, they wore
instructed to ireat. them as enemies, I'or such tiiev
were to the great principles of freedom, if not
to the Lino;, iiaclf. H.ncti it is tn.it wherever
■ our armies have marched they have made cn
-1 emies of tl use whom they found fo be friends,
i'akc the case of Tennessee, for example.
hen on* troops first entered Nashvili",' and,
still later, Knoxvillo, the Unionists in i - State
gave a rapturous welcome to tho dear old flag
"and the men "under whose protection it had
been borne to their state. How changed is all
this now! They who ondeV the rule of Jeff.
Davis and hi* crew sighed for the ve-turc of the
old Union, an ! waited long and patiently for
.no gleam of. tcderai bayonets, enduring mcan
wliiie a system of oppression that beggars dc
scription,—these men and women are to-dav
, the lutter-9t rebels in tho South. JefF. Davis
has now no wanner allies than those people
And if a rebel invasion of East Teunes-oe
should ever b- pr.v-L able, it is safe to nrodict
that the old unconstitutional Unionists, and
followers of Andy Johnson and I'arson lirowr
low, would give the confederate troops a wel
come even warmer than that win h they gave

The great powers of Europe have been tor two
hundred years trying to conquer Poland. She
stands ready toriiegin a revolution to-morrow.
: The great Ru-sian Empire was fighting for
r thirty years a few barbarous tribes in the Cau
r casian mountain ; it found that the only method
j to accomplish its purpose was the complete cx
, tirpalion of the inhabitants. Alexander tol
i lowed the example of Cromwell, and he was
wise in doing so. There are instances in his
tory of races being conquered, but, like the old
p Saxons, it was necessary to keep them in abso
j lute servitude, and whole generations had to
pa-i away before it was safe to intrust them
with freedom, much less with citizenship. I
r.eeJ not remind you that the southerners are
of the same vigorous stock as ourselves, and
i. would never submit to a state ot slavery. Nor
should we think for a moment of such a thing.
The spirit of the age, the glorious principles of

nation's banners ; the teachings of Christiani

C IN" cixv ATI. Oct. 18, 1864. 1
HON*. C- U WARD, Philadelphia: MY .
DEAR SIR: — I have received your letter. ,
[n the very beginning of this war, in the ,
irst days of the extra session of 1861, I J
said, m'my place in Congress, that I would ; ■
vote for all"measures necessary to enable the .
Government to maintain its honor and dig- I ;
nitv, and prevent disaster to its trig. 1
have done so.
1 thought that by the adoption of such !
measures the faith of the Government was '
pledged to the troops in the held, and must i
not be forfeited by inadequate supplies. I i
never gave a vote which was incompatible !
with this sentiment.
All appropriation? pure and simple, for :
the support and efficiency of the arrnv and 1
navy had my cordial concurrence. It was !
onlv when they were connected with other j
and improper appropriations; when by rea- ;
son of tiicir popularity, they were loaded I
down with fraudulent items for the benefit j
of contractors or speculators, and every at- j
tempt to separate them failed; wiien tliey
were mado a stalking horse for some Abo
lition scheme, that I was constrained reluc
tantly to vote against the whole bill.
But 1 repeat, that I voted against no bill
which was confined simply to the object of
supplies for the army and the navy.
I am very truly, yours,
GP.O. H. PRXDL.ETOX.
Cayßlect Lincoln and wa shall h*vc four
more years of war without ft Union. What
could have been done in six month# and wa#
not done in four years mnnnt be accomplished
in another term by the present administration.

SIGNIFICANT. —The only enthusiastic sup
porters of Lincoln in New York, are observed,
without exception, to be the men who havo
lheir arms buried elbow deep ;n the government
purse. No one else exhibit? any sort of spirit,
or pretends to hops for his election.
The shoddy ites are continually Lo v'tins a
liout the "peace plank" of the Chicago platform.
The kind of pence they "'ant is aptly defined
by General Tilton in a speech ina.ie at a Rs
pub'ican meeting in Boston, October 10. Gen
Tilton said :
"I donl want any peace except on such term!'
as Abraham Lincoln will make. T won't say un
der the Constitution,lmt under *i' a terms a?
he chooses to make, for I don't know where the
Constitution is."
