be seated. Iam glad you came over to-
night, fur, being at leisure, we can resume
our conversation on political subjects
ABoLmioN1sT.—Yes, I wish to have a fur-
ther talk with you, for I am not satisfied
that you were right in our last interview.—
Although some of your remarks were un-
doubtedly true, I think you lay too much
stre$s upon the possibility of usurpations

4 rt erent
apd One kind of wortar is designed to
i up chinks ; ancther, to make them,
on the part of public officials, while you
seem to entertain no fear of the overthrow
of cur government fiom the rebellion.—
That is an objection which I have fo make
against all your party. You are constant
ly finding fault with the Administration,and
yet have no werds of reprobation for Jeft.
Davis or any other of the secession leaders.
D.—Ishall attempt tosatisly you on these
points before we separate. I do think that
this Republic is in more danger from usur-
pation of power by those whom the people
have entrusted with the management of pub-
lic affairs, thanit 1s from insurrection or
armed rebellion, however formidable.
A. - Why do you entertain such a start-
ling doctrine as that ?
D.—Because the histories of all fallen re
publics teach it. If you search the history
of former free governments, you wili find
no instance in which a republic has been
overthrown by the rebellion of a minority of
its citizens, who were allowed equal politi-
cal privileges with the majority. On the
other hand, most, if not all of them, have
been destroyed, and despotisms erected on
their ruins by persons who have been en
trusted with the reins of government
A.— But in those republics to which you
refer, the people were not educated and en-
lightened as they are here in the United
States.
D-—Possibly not to the same extent. But
human nature is still the same that it was
a hundred, a thousand or three thousand
years ago. The experience of those coun
tries was in accordance with the nature of
things. An armed rebellion is am open, no-
torious and avowed attack upon a govern-
ment, of which no one interested in the
preservation of the Government can be ig-
norant. Every one knows where to meet it
and how to contend against it, It arouses
all the latent patriot'sm and pride of the
people. [Every instinct and feeling of the
human breast which impels men to support
and sustain human governments, is excited
against the attempt of a minority iu a re-
public to overturn the government, when
the Constitution and laws guarantee to that
minority their equal rights.
A.—This should certainly be so, 1f the
people were really loyal, and willing to give
up party for the sake of country.
D.—0a the other hand, usurpations come
on insidiously. They are not open and
avowed attacks upen the government at least
when they begin, but come in the guise of
putriotism—the usurpers themstives claim-
ing to be the peculiar friends,champiors and
defenders of the government ; and claiming
that what they are doing, thougn not mn
strict accordance with the Constitution and
laws, is yet imperatively required for the
safety of the national life and existence.—
Or, in other words, they justify all these
usurpations by the old, stale plea of “mili
tary necessity,” ‘public necessity” or the
«necessities of State,” as the idea has been
variously stated.
A.—T1t is, however, certainly true, that
during a great rebellion, it is necessary todo
acts out of the ordinary course of things.
Extraordinary emergencies do require extra-
ordinary remedies.
D.—Thank you for the remark. It helps
to establish my point. If no one could be
made to believe what they assert, there
would be no danger arising from it. The
danger to the republic consists in the fact
that always these acts of usurpation are
justified aud sustained by a portion fre-
quertly by a majority of the feople—by
persons who are honest and patriotic, as
well as by those whom subserviency, venal-
ity and corruption control. If the tencency
towards despotism of these acts of usurpa-
tion could be szen and acknowledged by ev”
erybody, there would be no more danger
from them than from armed rebellion.
A.—But surely, whenever anything is
done by those in power which reallT threat:
ens the existence of the republic, there will
be plenty to give the public warning and
rescue the government from danger.
D.—Not plenty. There will be some—
those who are most sagacious and penetra-
ting. But how will their warnings be re-
ceived ? Through ignorance, selfanterest,
and partizan prejudices, these warning will
be scouted at, and those giving them will
be denounced as ‘‘disloyal,”’ enemies of tke
government, and friends and sympathisers
with those who may be in armed rebellion
against it ; for these usurpations generally
occur fin times of incurrections, rebellions
and other civil commotions. Usually, these
warnings only serve to make victims and
martyrs of those giving them, without re-
ally doing the country any good, or in any
great degree stemming the tide that is bear:
ing the people en fo the gulf of despotism
A.—You certainly draw a very dark pic-
ture ; but I have no fears for the safety of
the Republic from that source, and am glad
you think there is no danger of the destruc-
tion of the Government by the rebellion.
D.—It is just because you and thousands
of others think there is no danger from the
unconstitutional acts and the usurped pow-
ers of an administration, that makes the
danger greater. I do not think there 18 no
danger to be apprehended from the exist-
ing rebellion ; on the contrary, I think there
is great danger to the Union from it,
A.—You surprise me, for I certainly un-
derstood you to say that there could be no
danger to a republic from the rebellion of a
minority of its citizens. who were not de-
nied their just end equal political rights and
privileges, Now, you mustadmt that the
Sou‘serners who rebelled were but a small
) miu ¢it.y of the people of the United States,
«
|
and I really hope you do not pretend that
any of their rights have been trampied up -
oun or denied them.
D.—-They were ‘certainly a minority, not
over one-fourth of the people of the United
States, and it is also true that the govern-
ment of the United States had not infringed
upon their rights on the subject of slav-
ery, the great subject of contention between
the North and the South, at the time of the
secession of the Co:ton States.
A.—Of course not, for Alexander H.
Stephens at the commencement of the rebel-
lion stated that, and what is more, proved it
too.
D.—TIt is, however, equally true, that a
portion of the people of the North, by their
fanatical and wicked opposition to the ‘“Fu-
gitive slave law,” and the provision of the
constituti>n upon wkich thatlaw was found-
ed, and that many’ Northern States by their
¢ePersonal Liberty Bills,” really acts of the
Siate Legislatures nullifying a law of Con-
gress and also the Federal Constitution ; did
deny and trample upon the rights of the
Southren people. It was the apprehension
people that the Federal Government would
do the same thing as soon as its powers
passed into the bands of an anti-slavery par-
ty. which induced them to follow their pub-
lic men in an cffort to set up sepsrate Gov-
ernment for themselees.
A,—I hope you do not mean to contend
that this was a jestification for the rebcll-
ion, and. that therefore there 1s danger ro be
apprehended from this rebellion, which does
not exist in cases of rebellions generally.
1 said nothing of the kind. But the poli-
cy of the Administration naturally tends to
convince the Southern people that their fears
and apprehensions were well founded: It
is the course of events since the commence-
ment of the war that makes the rebellion
tormidable.
A.—How so? I do not know thatI un-
derstand you.
D.—The question could and should have
been mads, whether the people of the South
should live in the old Union under the Con-
stitation as framed by our fathers and their
fathers, and in the enjoyment ot all their
legal and constitutional rights as individu-
als and as communities or States, or should
they be allowed to repudiat- the old.Govern-
ment and set up a new one for themselves
in its stead. If this had been made the con-
test, it would have been of short duration.
A.- -Why that is the very question at is.
sue between us and the rebels, and yet the
contest has not been a short one.
D.—There you are mistaken. The con-
test which Lincoln's Administration makes
with the South is, whether that people shall
be compelled to live in a government with
us, with the Constitution so changed as sto
deprive them of the control of their own
domestic concerns, and to leave all their po-
litical and natural rights at the mercy and
disposal of the Northern people, who are
taught to hate and despise them ; or wheth-
er they shall have a government of their own
to protect and defend their rights. It is be-
cause the contest is made to take this form
by the radicals wh control Lincoln's policy
that makes it difficult if not impossible to
conquer the South. If the Administration
was struggling honesty and faithfully to
restore the “Union as it was’ under the
“Constitution as it is,” all those who loved
the old Government both North and South,
in addition to which the whole moral sense
of the civilized world, would be on our side.
THeN, the Government would unquestiona-
bly be in the r2gAt. now its position is much
moe equivocal and debateable.
A.—1t is getting to be about my time tor
retiring, and we will finish this subject on
some other evening. So, good night to you,
D. —Good night, sir.

A SpLeNDID ORNAMENT 10 BROADWAY. —
It must be a pleasant thing for that vener-
able individual, the oldest inhahitant, to
run back in recollection to the days when
our now palace-beautifiecd Broadway was in
a much more crude condiiion than it is in
thes: days of progressive utility. Such im-
provements have taken place within the
past few years in the appearence of our
favorite thoroughfare, that it seems us if
some arch enchantress had produced the
change by one mction of her magic
wand,
All along that grand avenue, Bowling
Green to Union Square, are to be seen some
of the wost magmficent structures which
ever sprung from the train of art and archi-
tecture. And imposing as they are exter-
nally, they are equally so within. Some of
them are fisted up in a style which would
draw tears of ecstasy and admiration from
the eyes of the most extravagant Parisian
whose hie is devoted to study of luxury and
magnificence generally.
Recently a novel improvement has been
ushered into existence on Broadway. We
refer to the splend‘d new Temple of Pharma-
cy (the deors of which were for the first
time opened to the public bat a few days
ago) of Mr. HH. T. Hembold, at No. 594
Broadway, and adjoining the Metropolitan
Hotel. Ever since its opening day it bas
been favored with full houses, (lo use tie
language of the dramatic critics, ) its unique
splendor daily and nighly attracting large
crowds of admirers.
I'he entire building, which is 28 feet front,
235 feet deep and 5 stories in height, has
been most tastefully fitted up, the front haif
being used for the retail department and the
rear portion for the wholesale business and
8s a laboratory. There is probaly no drug
store in the world more beautiful and lux-
uriously furnished than this new acquisition
to our Broadway attractions.
Connected with the establishment is a
reception room, which is intended for the
comfort of those who are obliged to wait
while the prescriptions which they desire to
purchase are oeing prepared
This is something which has long been a
desideratum which Mr. Hembold has sup-
plied. The room is furnished with costly
lounges, chairs, sofas and velvet carpet,
Taking this new establishment altogether it
deserves to rank as one of the magnficences
n our city.~~-N. Y. Com Advertiser Oct.
B@y~A New Jersey paper has given an ap-
propriate name (0 the wordy and windy ag-
itators who are clamoring for war under ex-
isting policies but who refuse to volunteer.
It styles them ¢ tongue valiants.” We doubt
if any nation can furnish a class more valiant
in words and dastardly in acts than the
abolitionists of this country. Massachus-
etts is the hot-bed wherein they are incub-
ated, and her rem ssness in volunteering is
in proportion to the fierceness ‘with which
she has clamored for black policies, and the
prosecution of the war for their enforce-

When Mr Lincoln went to Washington
to be inaugurated, he was waited on at Wil-
liard’s Hotel by a delegation from Massa-
chusetts, who wanted to know in advance
what would be the character of his Admin-
istration. In reply, Mr Lincoln told them
it should be a Massachusetts administration
and the ‘““principles’” which John Quincy
Adams had so long upheld in Congress
would be his landmarks in carrying on is
Government. Now, whatever the backings
and fillings, and tergiversations of *ifonest
Old Abe,” he has been faithful to his pledges
on that occasion, and if Massachuset. actu-
ally owned the ¢ Governwent and all the
other States recognized this ownership and
quietly submitted to 1t, its rule could not be
more distinctly complete than it is now, and
has been throughout the ‘-loyal States.” —

ate John Quincy Adams and all his doings,

his nigger memorials. and treason to Amer-
ican principles generally ; but they, we all
know, are ‘‘rebels”, and, we repeat, the
‘loyal States’ are 1s absolutely ruled by
vlussuchusetts as Ircland is by England, or
Algiers by France. Even here in New
York, where we have a Copperhead Gov-
ernor, a Massachusetts Senator declares that
he is a poor, piuful, conquered slave, dragg- |
ed at the chariot wheels of Lincoln, who ad-
ministers the Government as the Viceroy of
Massachusetts. at her capital of Washing-
ton. Now, what are the real claims of
Massachusetts, that she should thus usurp

mand submission to her rule 2 In 1796. she

elect John Adams and her tyranny was so
unconstiint.onal and hateful to the country,
that it dem nded, four years, later, that all
traces of it should be stricken out and obhit-
erated from our political records. Since
then she has been cast out into the outer
darkness of unavailing opposition and thor-

The Soldiers Vote.
The Times and TriBUNE are put to their
trumps to defend the course of the Admin-
istration in carrying the Middle Siate elec-
tions by soldiers’ vates. They pretend that
no pledge was exacted from any soldier, an 1
that Democratic Jand Republican soldiers
were sent home indiscriminateiy. The rad
ical journals have no readers so stupid as to
believe that ‘cock and bull story. In the
first place, pledges were exacted beiore
transportation orders were given, in every
doubtful case. As to the hospitables, care
was taken, we are assured by an eye wit-
ness, to canvass the politics of the inmates
and new Comers, Afterwards, on arriving
at Washington they were submitted to a
distinct interrogatory as to their politics,
and pledged to vote against the Democrats,
or refused transportation.—In the next
place every republican captain, knowing of
course the political opinions of his men,
could and did easily select only those for a
furlough who would be sure to vote the
Republican ticket, and every Repnblican
medieal officer in charge of the hospitables
had the same easy means of ascertaining
the probable votes of his convalescents.—
And now for the abolition journals to deny
what is so notorious and so gbvicus, is sim-
ply to attempt idly to conceal political infa-
my with personal stultification. The sol-
diers have boasted of it on all the cars, their
officers in all the hotels, A sergeant in
Bates’ battery going through Albany the
other day boasted in the Delavan House
that “he had brought on sixty nine soldiers

*“to vote. and had left every 4—d Democrat
‘behind to take charge of the battery and

combinations of cap‘tal through which she !

Our defeat, unexpected by many and
most heartily regretted by all, wou'd, under
the pecuhar circamstances, have scattered-
any other political "party in existence to the
wind.
But not so Democracy-—-the defenders of
ewil liberty and constitutional! nghts. In-
stead of sinking down into despair,disolving
their political connections and abandoning
the country and its laws to the corrupt ty-
rants who have outraged every legal res-
traint upon the elective franchise and tram-
pled over the most sacred obligations which
protect the citizen from insult and wreng,
we hear ftom eyery part of the State, from
points too distant to have held any commu:
nication, that our Democratic friends are
busy organizing clubs for mutual intelli-
| gence, consultation and discussion, and to
turnish reading matter for study during the
winter months, and thus to keep posted on
the
pol tical contests and differences among the
people.
From the letters received it is believed
that several of these clubs were to be form-
ed on last Saturday nigh: and would be con-
tinued mn their localities. Many a Republi-
can who hus been lied out of his vote, my
learn at these consultations and discussions
what is his real da'y. as a citizen, to him-
self and his country, and where and how he
has been deceived and the fate which not
only awaits himself but his children after
him. if the policy of the present party in
power prevails,
We do hope that these clubs may spread,
anl that speedily, all over the Sate,
until therg 18 not a village, ward, township
or school districe but what is benefitted by
them
It is scarcely necessary for us to use ar-
guments in favor of such organizations, —
They will readily strike the intelligence of
every honest Democrat. They are nothing
new —they are as old as the party itself,
but have been most unfortunat:ly too much
neglected of late years. The moment we
SAW our victory a year ago, we pressed
strenously upon our party to d:lay pot in
acquiring a thorough organiz- tion, (rom that
of the State down to the most sparcely set
tled district. But t0 many of our party
could not See it in that light and we were
overrulad and organization postponed.—
Now we have floating back to us from every
quarter, complaints of the want of organi-
zation.
The people would not be put down under
the trying hour for their liberties, by com.
miitees nor leaders, and therefore they burst
forih in great monster mass meerings?strik-
ing t rror and consternation to the hearts
of their opponents bat when falling back
nto compames (townships and wards) and
contesting the enemy on close divisions they
found their discipline neglected aud their
ranks digjrinted thus losing in detail what
they had gained in the aggregate.
Let this unfortunate state of things not
oecur again. It should not have occurred

General McClellan's Woodward Lstter.
Gen. McClellan's opponents find much
fault with his letter in favor of the late
Democratic candidate for Governor in Penn-
sylvania. We don’t see how he could have
failed to write it, when the politicans were
using his name against the man he wanted
elected. [le would have written no letter
if they had let him alone. Everybody knew
that McClellan was in favor of the Demo-
‘cratic nominees, and that is all they dis -
covered by his letter. It is bad that a
‘military man in active service shall attempt
to control politics; but McClellan was not
in active service, while other Generals who
are, were quite busy in trving to carry this
State for Curtin. We notice among those
who did not reside in Pennsylvania, that
speectef were made during the canvass by
Gen.Batler Gen. Sige', Gen. Buste«d. Gen.
Cochrane, and Col. Montgomery, and yet
the Ab)lition papers do not rebuke their in-
terference in our election. It does not mat-
ter which side a man favors, for if he has a
right to take action at all, he has the right
to advocate the claims of the party or the
men he prefers, whatever other people may
think of them.-—-Sunday Mercury.

late elections, took ground in favor of pros-
ecuting the war vigorously for what they
call an **honorable and enduring peace.—
But facts have shown—the course of the
Administration, thus far, shows-that peace
without suhjugation—peace without the ab-
olition of slavery — peace without the con-
version of the States into territories—peace
without confiscation of all ge property of
all the people of the South— peace without
a total destrucuion of the Union as
and the Constitution as it is, is not the kind
of peace which the abolition party wants or
“horses.” is fighting for.

We wish to encourage enlistsments. The
President bas called for three hundred thous-

granted that.if five or six hundred thousand
men had endorsed all his war policies, and
voted for a vigorous prosecution of the war,
in only three States, he ought to have no
difficulty in securing three hundred thous

ministration, “Go on with this war, just

have freed the last slave in the South, Con-
fiscate their property, subjugate them, offer
them no terms except unconstitutional sub-
mission;”” How 1s the Administration to
follow your dietatior unless you coms to its
support ! To vote for war is not enough.
That will never put down the rebellion. —
You, who are for the war in the manner and
for the purpose the Administration is carry-
ing it on, should not hesitate to take our
place in the ranks and help it along. Once

pose of restoring the Union. and with no in-
tention of interfering with the institution of
any State. The “Copperheads’ filled the

have declared that the war is waged for

minisiration and the pecple of the South
that you will not have thie old Union or the
old Constitation.—You demand ‘mod
improvements.” Chief among these is the
absolute destruction of slavery, the confis-
cation of southern property, and the reduc-
tion of the States to vassalage. The admin-
istration takes you at your word. Upon
whom can it rely, if not upon men who go
fiercely demand these policies, for men to
prosecute the war under them ?
If these men. or enough of them to ans-
