Why the deuce don’t Abram issue a proclamation to capture the impudent scampa that would thus asail an “unsuspecting” foe. —————— a $e = 97" We publish in to-day's paper, the eorregpondence Letween General Scott and Ex-President Buchanan.

To be sure. the Democratic party has, in times that are past, been betrayed, basely betrayed, by wen who owed their political existence to. its organization ; but that does not argue that there wili be Democratic representa- tive in the next Legislature who can be purchased, or are base enough to accept a bribe. No, gentlemen, rejoice all you can on your **PROSPREOTS, ” for it is all you have left to glory over. Your scepire has fallen, your power hes departed, and you are now at the meroy of the goad old party that will save what you have left of our ence happy country. . ~~ Who is Responsible? We cannot imagine why it is that some of our would be Democratic exchanges have labored so hard, and especially since the is- suing of the order releasing the political pris- oners throughout the North, to place the re- sponsibility of the unconstitutional and eut- rageous acts of the old usurper at W ashing- ton, upon the miserable curses who Lave only carried out the orders of their master. Surely they would not have the people be- lieve that Abram Lincoln is not to blame for the illegal arrests, unwarrantable seizures, and false imprisonment of hundreds of pa- triotic, law abiding Democrats, who have suffered for months in close confinement in the damp and dismal cells of military pris- ons, and now liberated by the edict of the old culprit, not because he wished to, but for tho simple reason that the people spoke out cpen and boldly and said it SHOULD | be done. Upon the authority of orders issued by Abram Lincoln, these men were punished for crimes not committed ; and it is not Jight that he, whose doty itis to see that the laws aie faithfully exccuted, end the Constitution of the United States preserved and protected, should be exculpated and go unpunished, and these flagrant violatiors of the rights guaranteed to every American citizen be forgotten. Though he be a Pres- ident, he is subject to the laws, and should oath and usurpation of power. [tis no ex- cuse for Lim to say that he is igncrant that such acts were really committed, or that they were done without his sanction, for the orders creating these very lools to establish his despotism are not yet blotted from the record, neither have the proclamations de- claring it to be their duty to carry out mrs orders, pessed “from our memories.

Terrerism and Outrage in Missouri. ** The condition of the people of Missouri,’ says the Crisis, “is fast becoming of na. tional importance, The transactions of the Government military authorities in that State should attract the attention of every citizen in the loyal States. Especially are the Democrats of the North. in the hous of their triumphs, bound by every tie of hon: or and justice to raise their voices against the daily acts of those for whom they, asa part of the government, are made responsi- ble.” Unable themselves to speak, write or vote without the bayonet at their hearts or the prison walls before their eyes, let those who ore in a less restricted atmosphere de- mand that an explanation be given of the monstious outrages continually committed there. The voice of thousands of men, wo- men and chi'dren ery to us ford protection, for justice: for that friendship and humani. ty we profess, and which we planted. upon our banner, aud under which we’ triumph- ed. We must not sink all our glory in a vulgar straggle as to who shall get the next offices. Our victories won by an uprising of the people “all well, and we have noth- more to do!” The more victories we win, the more we have got to do, and the more cool calculating and vigilant we have got to be. : Every Democrat in the North knows very “well, that could the Abolitiomsts have got the machinery totwork here which is descri- bec by our “St. Louis,” correspondent very few of those who voted the D¢mocrat ticket would have escaped the same fate. Our diff: erence in location, with a continous vigil- ance, difficult at times to control, is the only reason why we are not in the same predicament as eur Democratic friends of the Union, aud rights of the state—the peo- plein; Missouri—Ilundreds of Ohio Demo- crats are settled in Missouri, some of them of years standing. and sll the crime they committed was in being Democrats there as they had been here. Many of them came buck to Ohio the past year to escape th "| ptrsecation of the abolitionists there who daredfnot assail them here. They were Just as good Union men as they ever were, and fully concured in the idea that a seper- ation of rhe States mn the great; Mississippi Valley could not rema n any length of time in a state of peace. With peace they had every hope of a restoration of the national power, while in a state of war, division was inevitable, ar.d hostilitics and hatred could never ceuse. If holding such, or even much more mod- ified opinions then these, 88 many of the Democrats there do, is & crime, subjecting men to banishment, imprisonment, and a confiseatation of their property, then others holdin g the same views, are equally guilty, though livingiin the most extreme portions of the Morth. The scheme of the Abolitionists, broached years before the civil war broke out to ex- terminate the cld population of Missouri and re-populate the State with Abolitionists from the, North, we fear has had much to do with the extriordinary outrages which have been inflicted upon the peaceable and un- armed population of that desolated State.— But be the causes what they may, it is ime the pubtic atttention of the loyal States was being attracted to that region of ‘country, and the Administration ealled to account ior tlie conduct of its officers, and a full ex- planation given. The time is passed when the public voice can be stifled, and those in authority may as well concede, first as last, that their cons duct hat got to be submited to the crucible of public opinion, The decree of a ‘tree press and free speech,” has gone forth from a higher tribunal than that of “Old Father Abraham,” and that-decree i8 srrcrocable!

"The Evening Post favors the coun vy with- thefollowing astounding piece of intelligence which the “order” of Mr, Stanton, this day published, jpartially confirms ; “The Presid ents fully _ convinced that the scase of the country 13 ove rwhelmingly against anything savoring of tyranny or of a military despotism.” Is he indeed ! After eighty years of Amer-- ican liberty and independence, a lawyer from Illinois, . elevated to the chair .of WasmiNG- TON, has acteally learned that the sense of ‘the country favors freedom. and’ it is not altogether, indifferent to justice and « the laws !_ Had’an enemy put this scorn upon ¢ Bat that an American journal should thus in the lan- guage of s court flunkey, reco the shame of the land, is almost to much for mortal patience. Quite to much for morta patience, a trial beyond all imagined for Jo, it is the same Jjourna’ls explanation of the process thiough which this light has reached the Presidential mind. « ’ ‘ “Some of the arrests madehave been un- necessary and unjust and the adminstration has suffered for its mistakes.
