The Chttnicter ot Sontiri Loyally. Great credit, on the "trench of Mr. Ste pi;:-.N8' lata testimony, s rjivea In somo quar- i tors to tht Kubi'l pomiuuniUos for their ; 'loyalty." They ''acquiudca." it is said, in the J result of the war. They etill believe in the j alxttract right of spcessioa, but they are con virced that it is impracticable to exercise it by Ibrce. 'lhej still believe in the juntica of the cause tor which they touht; but, like many another pood cause, it h:is been over- . borne, and they accept the fact as it stands. This, we are told by the .New York Tiries, is natural, ami all that, under the circum eiaucefi. we could expect. "The sword," it 6iijs, ''cannot cut down opinions." j We agiee that this attitude of the houth to perlectly natural, and was to have Ix'ui expected. Opinions and seiuiments which are the growth of half a century, which have permeated a whole community from top to bottom, and which have been pro pagated by tlfe expenditure of vast sums of money and many lives, are not likely to be discarded simply because the physical agen cies by which they were sustained have been overborne on the field of battle. Hatred of a particular lorm of government and of certain political institutions, long cherished, and be- , come as it wee a second nature, is not t be suddenly changed into love by thu triumph of said institutions and government iu the arena of fore. We acknowledge, therefore, tiit the feel- 1 infis of the Rebel communities are natural ; but the practical concern of the country is not with the naturalness of these leelinsw, but with their chai'actsr. If the sentiments of these people are still hostile to free institu tions, if they still regard secession as a righ', If they still adhere to the fatal heresy oi Stute sovereignty, if they stiil believe that their late war upon tne nation was juitt then, they arj still Rebels at heart, and only need a tavorable opportunity to again become so in fact. What satisfaction is it to us to toll us that these feelings are natural 1 Does that make those who entertain them any the less dangerous, or any the moie fit to he entrusted witti poli tical power? The very fact that such sen timents have so long been cherishi d and have taken such a lirm hold upon the South that , we now look upon them, even al ter our terri ble civil war, as natural, oulv increases the danger, and shows thp stubbor.i and deep seattd difficulty with which we have to con tend. But, we are cold, it is only the '"abstract" ' right of secession the "abstract" doctrine of . State sovereignty. th:it is still adhered to, aud that all idea of maintaiaiu fhi's rights by force is abandoned. Of course it Is, now that by the issue of war the Rebel communi ties are at our feet. What the South is now ; atter is the resumption of power, and this she i can only obtain at the hands of the nation by whom she has just been overthrown on the field of battle. But, suppose these Rebel : communities once more restored to power; i their Senators and Representatives once more : in their seats ; their sentiments towards the Government still unchanged ; State sovereignty 1 and secession still adhered to ; and suppose that ! by the defection of one or two Northern States j the political control of the nation should oace again pass into the hands of its enemies, then j what guarantee have we that the game of secession would not be repeated, with all the : wisdom gained from the former experiment? What guarantee that the vast resources of the nation gathered In this very struggle against Rebellion would not be turned against itself? - Take the case of Alex andkr Jmepuens ' himself. He still adheres to a belief in tha right of secession and the doctrine of State i sovereignty. Suppose, then, he takes, as a ! Senator, the customaiy oath of office; would ; that hold him as against the secession of his j State, any more than it did before ? He was always opposed to secession, he tells us, as a policy, but when his State seceded he felt 1 bound to follow her fortunes. Is there any- j thing in Mr. Stephrns' present position to show that he would not do so again? In fact, would not his belief obluje him to do so 1 Uis oath to support the Constitution of the United States is taken, just as he took it before, with the conviction that it ceases to be obligatory the moment his State secedes. Suppose General Lkis restored to his old position in the United S-ates army; would his oath hold him any more than it did before ' Does he now acknowledge that he forswore himself in deserting the service of the United States, and taking up arms agaiubt the Gov ernment? The truth is, that for those who believe In the right of secession, and in tha doctrine ot State sovereignty, the oath to sup port the Constitution and laws of the United States is a mere mockery. They might as well not be sworn at ail. An oaiu is intended lor emergencies. It is to bring the sanctions of a solemn obligation to bear when other influences are tending to draw the man aside from bis duty. But these men take the oath with the conviction tha It ceaset to bind the conscience the very moment that the sup. posed emergency arises. What is Bueh an oath worth? And this is the best show of oyulty that the best of the late Rebel clement TIIE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH.

A call for this meeting is publishoJ, tig nod by lCLi.:.;;isrii Cadt Stanton, President, a id Siuan li An Tnour, Secretary, in beh illof ihe Woman a Rights Central Comm ltca. We quote the following passage from it: "l'lione who ted tm tlx? republican idea is a liiiiuro, oo not pec Hi" Hv'cp i, n 1 1' bt" ween our broad tUeory unil imrtml h-LL'ui'iou; do not ee that our oveiumeiit in" tlu' i:ut cent iry has been b'.t lie repetition ot tlio u!(l o vporiiuotiti oi cla mid cu.-.le. licaoe ilia lailuro is not in ttie pn ic pie, but in the lack ot virtue ou our pait to jjIv it.

Ihe ladies above named belong, of course, to that class of thfirsex winch s distinguished by the title of "hard-.ninded," and who ima gine that they have certain ' inherent and in alienable rights," which they1 are denied by the laws and usage of society, and which it is the religious duty of their wronged aud op pressed sisterhood to assert and ins.st upon until they ere recognized and conceded. It does seem a little hard, we admit, that under a political system in which the doctrine of representation is fundamental, anybody should be made subject to laws which they have no direct voice in making. This is par ticularly oppressive, too, when the laws un dertake to appioprta e one's personal and real estate for the support of the Government. Mrs. or Miss Sxaxxox thinks ihat it is quite enough to be told thit she ought to pay for the benefits and blessings site enjoys through the civil institutions unJ aTeucies that are maintained tor the protection of each and the general social advantage of all. She fancies that, to bj governed, thougii never so well,, is an imperfect or questionable felicity, without the privilege to say who shall govern aud how he shall govern. Aud in vindication oi this idea she appeals to the fact t bat our Revolutionary war sprang from the priuciple that acts of Parliament do not or should uot bind those who have no hand in their euactinent. Per haps it must be confessed that both precept and precedent in tliis matter are soemlugly on Mrs. or Miss Stanton's side; that the theory of republicanism, that no one should be taxed who is not represented in the taxing body, is not fully carried out in our practice; and that, if the women of rhe land, young and old, married and unmarried, were to persist in pressing this instance of political inconsistency before the jury of public teeling and con science, we might find that, in the maxim upon which our fathers protested against British jurisdiction and resisted its exercise over us, we "tau?ht Instructions which return to plague the inventors." But is it true that the women are not repre sented in our Government? If they are not, indeed, admitted to the polls, and have no direct suffrage in the election of those who make and administer the laws, can it be said that they do not actually and effectually participate in the legislation and administra tion of the Government? A renowned ruler of ancient Greece once" said that his child governed the btate over which he presided, because his son governed his mother, and the mother governed him . In the same way we believe that the women of this country exert a greater control in our politics than they or the men are aware of. And if every mother, wife, sister, and sweetheart, can influence the voters, may they not be said to vote in effect, though they do not personally put in the ballots? This sort of special pleading may not suit such doughty champions of abstract political rights as Elizabeth Cadt Stanton and Susan B. Anthohy, who seem Indisposed to be cheated out of their natural sovereignty by having the shf.dow of a franchise substi tuted for the substance. But what, pray, would our women gain by being allowed to do din ctly what they can make the men do for them ? Is it not more comfotable to sit at home on election day, remote from the I dense crowd, the coarse profanity, the rude violence, and drunken contention of a polling I booth, and have a vote cast by proxy, than to j cast it directly subiect to all the excitement i and perils of the election ground? I Women covern us now, H they did but I know it, to a very considerable extent ; and if they do not govern U9 more than they do already, it is their own fault. We would ad vise all the women who are ambitious of hav ing their names on the Assessors' list, and being allowed to vote, to get married as soon as possible, and then to use what arts and witchcraft they may in controlling the politi cal opinions and actions of their husbands. They can do much in this way, if they set about it earnestly ; and we fancy It would, lor the ladies, be a great deal more agreeable mode of exercising the right ol suffrage than being obliged to fight one's way to the polls through a crowd of rough men and excited political viragoes.

Amid a great deal of v.fnitv and a. great many shallow attempts at wit, 'Cornelius O'Dowd" occasionally gets off in ISlackioood a really good thin?. so:nt tailing story, which the French would emphatically call a bon mot The last number of the magazine contains an article of his on ' Making tiie R'nt," which surprises us most agreeably, both in its stylo and tone. lie trers ot the Invasion of Mexico by the French anil ol the recent coa duct of the United States Government. When it la remembeieJ that Ulackwood has oyer thrown its weigh1, in oupositiou to our coun try, taking every opportunity to traduce our principles, and roaligi our motives, our readers will join with us in our astonishment at the unexpected change iu "Mr. O'Dowd's" language and Mio sent ineu s ol the magazine itself. V quote that part ot the article which refers to the Monroe doe'rine. and which causes us positively to blush before such complimentary allusions to our national spirit: "There is, we must own, Bomethin? grand in the notion of importing the pomp and eircuin btnuce oi glorious r into the dtou fcixciMuge, si.d 'Hearing' the market into battailous of iu fantry.

'Dia any one see ye come ia?' lie asked calmly.

They will treat France with a deiereuce they would not accord to us. I inaire no com plaint of that; 1 can see a certain tairnes ia it. They will not, In all probability, be very exact ing as to the day or the hour, but yet with Y'anKce tenacity. 1 think I hear him saying, 'Yes, sir, you've got to go. Yes, sir. that's' a iact.' A mure lusutTirable piece of, insolent pretension cannot be imairluea than what is called the Monroe doc.nne. That my next door neighbor should not live in n certain style, lest the servants iu my hou-e should become dissatisfied, l too grosb an absurdity to be en tertained. That whatever rules I adopt tor my lamily should be adopted bv everv one who resides in the tame street, is somewhat oer bearincr, and yet, with all th s, I declare 1 am all lor tne Yankees in this Mexican row. It is not the justice of the casp 1 think of. It is uot whether France has right on her side, and whether the aemand to let' re be one ot the mandates a luah spirited nation cannot submit to; my whole consideration is limited to th fact here at last the great bully of Europe has lound a match. Here is a young, athleur, daring fellow ready to eo into the ring with that finished pugilist that none ot us have the couruge to fight, and who even with the gloves on doubles us up in a lasniou far from agree able. "America dares to hold laneuage to France that all the nations ot Europe combined would not utter. There is no denying it; there is no qualilyine it. It we had a continental coalition to-morrow, we could not venture to say what America ha just said. What Minister of Russia or uglaud or Austria would say to the Freucu Emperor, 'We were thinktnv of someihiug else when you stepped into Saxony and Nice the other day; now that our bands are free, you'll have to go back again.' We are tamous tor brave words in our Foreign Oilice; but does any one expect that such a message as tbi3 will ever issue from Whitehall r We would no more pro voke the Tuileries by an insolentdespatch thau we would go into oue of V&n Amdukoh's cages, and kick the lion. It has become a sort of European superstition that France can beat every one, and I am downright grateittl to the Americans that they don't believe it. I never knew I liked America so well till I bearan to speculate on this war. I never suspected that there really was that tie of kindred, which lournaiists disparaae by the false adulation they deal in. I hate all all cant of 'couslnsbip,' but call them our own bone and blood. Speak of them as a people, who have the same leading traits as ourselves sturdy, untiring, determined, unyielding, takinar their share of hard knocks to-day, with a fixed resolve to repay them to-morrow. In a word. of that stuff which makestrusty friends and ter-' rime enemies, ueaina them m this iitrbt and wav. If a wnr should break out bet weeu them find France, what side would you back.
