The no party dodge won't work this time, gentlemen. The people have de-, termined that cach and every party must] stand or fall upon its own avowed praiphes) and record. Until you come out honestly, admit the abolition republican party was a humbug, and its pretended principles mere delusions and snares to calch the unwary, you need not cry out no party! The Abo- litionists admit their party canrot restore the Union. Hand the government ever into the hands of a democratic administration,and we will take care of it and restore the Unton at a cost of cne tenth you have expended in destroying it, and will not ask your ca-op- eration. You may say what you please ahout opr public men,and we will not srrest property of their political adversaries, seiz- cl by the ‘government,’ or desiroved by an igncrant and besotted populace whose minds have been constantly poisoned by the daily reading of the influmnble editorials | written by these jaccbins.

A terrible battle took place at Port Hudson, on the 27th ult., by which the Federals lost over 10,000 killed, wounded and missing. One of the negro regiments was entirely annihilated, not an officer in it escaped. 77 Everybody, even Abolitionists, that have the least particle of honesty about (hero, admit that the war is waged no long- er for the restoration of the Union, bat for the freedom of the negro, the subversion of the Constitution, and the conguest of the Mcn‘gomery Blair's Confessicn. «They (the peopo of the South) are contending that slavery may be made the dominant prinsiple in the New World.

Substantially, Mr. Blair, says: “The South is not fighting for dis- “union. but for the preservation of their soc- «isl stitutions, and they desire indepen- “gence only as means of effecting that ob- ¢ject, Once possessed ofthat, they hope tore- store the Union on the basis of their Cons- “titution, which is ours, except that it em- «bodies in terms the Dred Scott Deci- sion.” In other words according to Mr. Biair, the South is defending our own Uons- tution, as interpeted by our own Supreme Uourt, while he and his party are fighting to overthrow the Constitution as thus construed by the Supreme and recognized Tribunal of the land, Was there ever such a monstrous confession made by mortal man in hissenses? fle discloses in a single sentence the whole object, aim snd porpose of this war. Ie acknowledges that the South isin favor of the Government as it existed down Lo 1861, and as the Supreme Court has declared its Intent and meaning. lt thereof follows that the South is not in revellion, even allowing that Sates can rebel. On the contrary. according to Mr. Blair. Mr. Lincoln hinsellis in rebellion against the Government, as de- fined by the Supreme Court, and the S.uth is in arms defending the Governwent from Mr. Lincoln's attempt to overthrow it! We defy the wmostsubtile logican to escape from this construction of Mr. Blair's remarks. The reader will, no doubt, wonder why Mr. Blair should have made this most dam: aging confession. Itis, indecd. most astonn- ding, if he saw the full etfect of his remarks. It must be allowed, however, that Mr. Blair ! despite his hostility to, and even persecution | of anii-Avolition newspapers, has always shown a certain degree ot candor in dealing with the question of so-called slavery, in striking contrast with many of his party. It is evident, too, that he understands not only the theory apon which his own arguments rest. but he comprebiends the motives of his opponents, hence he acknowledges that the South is not fighting for disanon, but for their State Laws, their State Rights, and the supremacy of the white race, as defined by the Supreme Court—in a word, for the Gov- ernment ag ‘ounded by Washington ana Madison, and as it has been administered from their days down to the inaugeration of Abrabam Lincoln.

The released prisoners from Richmond describe the effect produced by the raid of General Stoneman’s Confederate Cav- alry to the outskirts of the Rebel capital. There was a complete panic. Families pack. ed up their goods, thealara bells were rung. The panic was vatural. There were only 400 troops in Richmond, and amoung these were many sick and wounded, fit only for guard duty. There is, perhaps, a httle exaggeration in this statement, and we notice that our ¢o- temporarieg chuckle over the fright we gave the rebels, and mock at the poverty of their resovirces! : We confess we do not sce the comic side of the picture! It appears to us as if the Administration at Richmond had sent every man to the fickd, to meet the exigency of i the hour, bad stripped themselves of all de- | fences. as wellas of all purade, and bad | canecutrated all their strength for the strug- | ple they were to enter upon. Nor when the Federal cavalry came thundering to the gates of the capital, did President Davis send oft ordess to divide Lee's command, and save the capital by sacrificing the army. We know not what was donc at Wa nea-ly a year ago, what fears Jacisson, al- nost a hundred miles off, and conteraplating a feint only. mspired in the tremulous Coun- cils of the President! An army was saeri- ficed and a campaign lost, owing to that panic. “We have only 17,000 men to defend us,” they cried, though in thetrath they had nearer 700,000, and still they were panic struck at the approach of an enemy, still nearly a hun- | dred miles off, and whoseactual assauit was | m truth impossible. | And how was it in the recent afhir at | Fredericksburg 2 -Recollect that Richmond | was menaced on the Sutbolk side as well as | from the North, and retained but 400 troops. | At this very time, a large army was | intrenchied at Washington a heavy force | was along the Potomac River, and | Heintzloman was at Manassas Gap,with 30, | 00 more. There was areserve under But- | terficid at Falmouth, on the north side of | the tappstonvock. And even of Uooker's | forces on the south side, Sceretary Stanton | announces “not more then one-third were | engaged.” | Why all the forces were not concentrated | and engaged ; whyeven the fraction that were put forward to meet the massed woops of Lee, were subdivided is not told. Somebody should be forced to tell and be held respon- sible for the answer? But it is not of the battle we speak, but of the contrast presented by the two capitals —Richmond stipping 1teelf for the fight, and Washington gorged with troops, under burly Brigadiers, withnoother purpose than to protect a President, whose lack cf per- sonal coirage amounts to a disease and his Cabinet and retinue of courtiers and contractors The contrast is not one of our choosing; but is forced upon us by circumstances.—— 1t has its moral. No war can be success(ul whose leaders look constantly and anxiously first of all to their own gain, their own am- bitior, and their own safety. Towinin this fearful contest, we must throw intothe scales as much of fortune, labor, life, as our adver- sary isready todo. When we reach tbat point we will succeed against him, but not till then.—-Albany Ailas. | rh —— re = One of om exchanges states that the Czar of Russia thinks of sending over for copies of the Statutes of Ohio, with a view to a revision of the laws of his own Empire, to judge by the first number, it will lose which he doses not think quite arbitary { not able to pay his three hundred dollars ir! thinks it would be a great benefit to change {it for we will assume that hercally beleives { that the negroes ought to be turned loose for | the good of the country —bnt we submit 0 him whether it is fair to make this change or revolution, for of is a sweeping, giganic rev- olution, altering the entire structure and meaning of our Giovernment— we suhmit, we say, whether itis fair, honest or manly todo 1ity of lis .party are dong it, by all the time pretending that they are trying to preserve the Government, We grant that the right of every individual, in a Constitutional Gov. ernment, to adveeate a change or an altera- tion in the Constitution, but he 1s bound to doit in a legal and coustitutional way.

We wish every democrat in the land/could® read this frank avowal of Montgomery Blair. We would like every Democrat, especially to read it, who still believes that this waris for the preservation of our Government.

Last week we expressed onrselves perfect- ly well satisfied with the attempt of the Government to enlist negroes for soldiers, but we expressly stated then. and we as dis- iinetly state now, that we want negroes to fili the ranks of our armies excluvively. — White men cannot, and will not, unless they are lost to all sense of shame. stand on a professional equality with the thick-lipped sons of Africa. All the present devasting “cruel” and useless war is solely for the benefit of the negro, and of such of is white worshippers as are cither in possession of Government contracts, or are crazy. it is but just that the negroes should do all the fighting White men have done enough of it. But,un- fortunately for the Lincolnites, the Abolition negro —the free fellow—won't fight. This was shown squarely in the resait of the ef- forts of the Gavernor of Massachusetts to get up even one “colored” regiment in his do- minions, and it has been recently developed in Connecticut, where the colored citizens refused to be peacobly enrolled for the draft and openly declared that “free niggers won't fight, nobow.” Under thege circumstances, we imagme that the war must cease, and that the Union will, per consequence be re- stored upon its original basis. An cxper- ience of some months in this war, has taught us that niggers wil {we've seen them do it) for slavery and their masters, but that the Devil himself could not induce them to raise a finger in favor of Loyal Leaguers and plun- dering Lincolnites.—Connehead, eee OP tee 77” Thurlow Weed says: I was read oul of the Republican party, and driven out of the Evening Journal, for urging that this war should be prosecuted to overcome a wicked rebellion, to re-esiablish the anthori- ty of the Government, and restore the Union. This alone was the ground of ““irreconciable difference with my pavty.”’. That was the lenghth and breadth of my offinding. Every man who labors to restore the Unton is sure to come out or get driven out of the Repub- lican party.
