BUCHANAN’S DEFENCE On our first page will be found the reply of Ex-President Bdchanan to the “undis guised censure" cast upon him in Lieut. Gen eral Scott’s address to the public, which we also give on the same page. The reply is a most able and incontrovertible statement of the circumstances connected with the secession of the seven Cotton States, and a triumphant answer to the numerous charges of unfaithful ness brought against Mr. Buchanan since the commencement of the civil war in which the country has been involved for the last nineteen months. The National Intelligencer , in which both letters appear, speaks in the following com plimentary strain of Mr. B’s production : “In the paper now placed before our readers, the venerable Ex-Prei-ident shows that he was not unmindful uf the obligations placed upon him by the trying events through which he was calltd to pass in the closing months of his administration, and he clearly states the con siderations of public duty under which he acted, and also the limits within which be bad power to act at all. At the same time he places in a clear light some facts which, from the commanding position he then held at the head of affairs, he is able to presentin a collo cation that redeems his conduct from certain misapprehensions which may have been enter tained at the time by observers less cognizant, of all the circumstances which made up the situation, as well civil as military, at the out break of secession. It is in this’view, as well asTvr the interesting Dature of its contents, and\of the to which it relates, that this paper of the Ex President may justly claim at the hands of his countrymen a can did consideration, in advance of that more extended review of the same topics which we may soon expect to see published, and whioh has thus far been withheld only from motives that reflect honor on the writer's patriotism." We rather inoline to the opinion that General Scott will hesitate about continuing this controversy with the Ex- PjTesident, as he can scarcely expect to gain any laurels in the discussion. Hie bout with Secretary Marcy, during the Mexican War, in which he also came off second best, Bhould have satisfied him that his forte is not newspaper controversy—that the sword, not the pen, is the weapon he can wield with most effect for his own fame and the good of the country. GBN. HoCLELLASI superseded Major General McClellan has again been superseded in the command of the Army of the Potomac, and the command turned over to Major General Burnside. The order was received on Saturday at head quarters, and Gen. McClellan and staff left the army on Sunday for Trenton, N. J., where he is ordered to report. It is reported that Gen. Bragg's army, which was driven out of Kentucky, has effect ed a janotion with Gen. Lee’s forces—if so, we may expect another desperate battle, before many days, somewhere in the region of Centre ville or Manassas. An attack was made a few days since on Nashville by Gen. John C. Breckinridge with 20,000 men, so report Bays, but he was gallantly repulsed by the Union forces in that City, under command of General Negley. HON. HORATIO SEYMOUR. This able ard accomplished statesman— the gallant leader of the united Democracy of the Empire State—has been triumphantly elected to the Gubernatorial chair of that Commonwealth. The eyes of the whole Na tion are upon him, and we much mistake the signs of the times if higher honors are not in store for him at no distant day. It is, per haps, too soon yet to agitate the question of the next Presidency of the United States, but when the proper time does arrive we shall be muoh Burprißed if the name of Horatio Sey mour does not occupy a prominent place in the list of Democratic statesmen from whom the selection of a Chief Magistrate is to be made. THE NEXT CONGRESS. The next Congress, according to the esti mate of the New York Herald, will stand 101 Democrats and Conservatives to 83 Abolition ists.

The November elections eclipse, if possible, the October results in the brilliancy of the Democratic victory achieved. How true it is that “ revo lutions never go backward.” The ball set in motion by the Democracy of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, has been rolling on, increasing in magnitude and velocity, and the Empire State, and Sucker State, and the Jersey Blues have still more and more increased its speed, crushing the last vestige of Niggerism beyond its ponderous weight and irresistible onward progress. Look at the magnificent results: In New York, the able and ac complished Seymour is elected Gov ernor by some 10 or 12,000 majority. All the other Democratic State offi cers are elected. YVe have large gains in the Legislature, and we have 18 of the 31 members of Congress —a gain of 8 in the delegation.— The City of New York alone gave 31,734 majority. This is a wonder ful result, -when we consider that but one year ago the Republican majori ty in the State was nearly 107,000 ! In New Jersey, the Democrats have elected, their Governor by about 14,000 majority, 4 of the 5 members of Congress, and large majorities in both branches of the Legislature. In Illinois, the Democrats have carried both branches of the Legis lature and 9 of the 14 members ot Congress. The popular majority is about 15,000. In Wisconsin the Democrats have 2, and probably 3, of the 6 members of Congress, and have reduced the heavy Abolition majority in the State to a mere nothing. The Leg islature will probably be Democratic. In Delaware the Democrats have elected their candidate for Congress, and two-thirds of the Legislature. In Michigan and Minnesota, al though not entirely successful, our friends have made extraordinary gains, and another year will wheel both those States, with lowa, into the Democratic line. So we go.” The great reaction is still going on, and the foul demon of Abolitionism will soon be driven into its den, from which it will never again emerge to curse the land. The Democracy “are coming, Father Abraham, more than 900,- 000 strong!” and they will yet save the Union, if you cau’t. A SLIGHT DISCREPANCY I The Secretary of the Treasury announces, semi-offieially, that the public debt of the United States is about $650 000,000. Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, in his speech helore the Convention which nominated him on the 3d of September, stated that we bad then spent $2 000,000 000 (two thousand millions !) in trying to suppress the rebellion. Mr. S. is Chairman of the Committe of Ways and Means in the House of Representatives, and is presumed to have known what he was talking ahout. We make the billowing extract from liis speech, ns published in the Lancaster Examiner of the lOch of September : ‘•They [therebels] still hold the Mississippi and threaten us even on the banks of the Ohio ; all because the slaves at home are giving them no trouble—because tee are. at the point of the bayonet, keeping them loyal to their masters instead of to the Union! I have told these things to the President and Cabinet and they replied—“lt mav come to this ’ ‘•Come to this!” when 200 000 men have melted nway, and $2,000,000,000 spent “ Come to this” —when another half million lives shall have been lost and a billion of dollars more laid upon you in taxation 1 7 cannot and will not stand this, and if you elect me I shall vote that every man be armed, black and white, who can aid in crushing the' rebellion ; that every inch of rebel soil be taken and sold to pay the debt of this war." FAMILIES OF POOR CONSCRIPTS. In this county, as everywhere else, many persons have been drafted who can illy afford to leave their homes and families, and some of these are in deep distress. We know some cases of laboring men with large families, and some with sickly wives and afflicted children who will now probably be left in a destitute condition, or with scarcely sufficient means to provide fuel, clothing and provisions during the severity of the winter. With all such we deeply sympathise, and would strongly com mend their cases to the consideration of their benevolent and opulent neighbors. The fami lies of these men should be attended to, and they must not be permitted to suffer for the necessaries of life during the absence of their husbands and fathers, who have been called away to uphold the Government and put down treason and rebellion. We therefore hope that organizations will be immediately formed in every township for the relief of the families of drafted Boldiers. ABOLITION TRIUMPHS. Governor Andrew is re-elected in Massa chusetts by about 20.000 majority. His ma jority last year was 33.500. The Abolitionists have also carried the Legislature, and 9 of the 10 Congressmen. Michigan gives an Abolition majority of about 5,000-a great falling off. The Demo crats gain one Congressman. Partial returns from Missouri and Kansas indicate that the Emancipationists have carried a majority of Congressmen in the first State, and that the Jim Lane Abolition ticket has been elected in the second. U. S. SENATOR. The question of U. S. Senator is beginning to bo agitated among the people. We have heard the names of the following gentlemen mentioned in connexion with the office: Hon. James Campbell, of Philadelphia, Hon. William Bigler, of Clearfield, Hon. Charles R Buckalew, of Columbia, lion Jeremiah S Black, of York, Ilun George W. Woodward, of Luzerne, ILm. Francis VV. Hughes, of Schuylkill Hun. J. Glancy Jones, of Berks. ’ Simon Cameron hu returned heme from his mieiion to Russia. MILITARY EXEMPTIONS. We propose saying a few wordß in reference feo exemption from bearing arms on account of conscientious scruples, as this is a subject which has engrossed the attention of the peo ple, in a greater or less degree, ever sinee.it was announced that a draft of the militia would be made. We have purposely refrained from giving our- views sooner, as we did not wish, in any possible way, to throw embarrass-, ments, direotly or indirectly, in the way of the drafting officers. The question to be answered is this : Is it right to exonerate only those who belong to a particular denomination of Christians, be oanse their Church rules forbid the member ship bearing arms ? The Constitution of the | Cnited States does not eay so, for it is silent j on the subject. Nor does the Constitution of Pennsylvania—for its language is: “Those who conscientiously sornpie to bear arms, shall not be compelled to do so, but shall pay an equivalent for personal service.’’ It doeß not say that Quakers, or Dunkers, or Men nonists, or Omisbmen shall Dot be required to bear arms; but it means all those, no matter what church they belong to, or whether any church, who have conscientious scruples, shall be exempted from military duty. Then why Bhonld not a conscientious Lutheran, or Ger man Reformed, or Methodist, or Presbyterian, or Roman Catholic, or any other religionist, be equally favored with exemption ? We never could see the propriety or fair ness of making this invidious distinction be tween sects or denominations. If one man is legally exempted from bearing arms because of his conscience, why should not his neighbor be exempted on the same ground, although he may not be a Quaker, a Dunker, a Mennonist, or an Omishman ? The Reform Convention of 1837-8 evidently took this view of it.— The subject was ably discussed in that body by Messrs. Cops and Darlington, who re presented the Quaker interest of Philadelphia and Chester county, and neither of those gentlemen claimed exemption simply on ac count of Church fellowship. Oo the contrary, they both took the broad and liberal ground that every man, no matter to what branch of the Christian Church he belonged, if he had conscientious scruples on the subject, Bhould be exempted from rendering military service. And this was the view taken by Jjidgo Por ter, Mr. Meredith, Mr. Stevens, and all the other gentlemen who took part in the discus sion. This is the great principle that runs through all our Constitutions and laws, whether State or National, on the subject; and it gould not be otherwise, unless we are willing to give one Churoh immunities and privileges over another, a point which was saoredly guarded against by the framers of our organio law. The exemption from military duty on con scientious scruples should either be general or not exist at all. A partial exemption, which favors three or four religious bodies to the exclusion of all others, is neither fair nor constitutional, and we marvel that any such distinction has been made. The only way we can account for it, is the well-known fact that nearly the entire membership of the four denominations above alluded to, are known to belong to the Abolition party and voted the Abolition ticket at the laßt election in this State, whereas other denominations are made up of both the political parties —the Democ racy. pel i. : p-. ] ; ed mioonog. Our idea is, that every citizen oweß a duty to his country, and should be willing, if other wise qualified, to step forth in defence of that country whon necessity requires. But as the law interferes where conscience comes in the way, then we think there should be no in vidious distinction made in favor of any par ticular sect or church. Let all be placed on the same footing, whether Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protestant. This is the spirit of our National and State Constitutions, and any law or policy or dictum which comeß iD con flict therewith should be at once abandoned as contrary to the genius and spirit of our free institutions. POLITICAL PROSCRIPTION The most bare-faoed and outrageous inter ference with the freedom of the inestimable right of suffrage was practised by Abolition nabobs in many sections of this State, and even in Lancaster county, at the late election. Men were threatened with loss of work, and some have since been discharged for daring to exercise the right of freemen. We are pleased to know that measures have been taken to put Borne of these dishonest political knaves, who would enslave the poor laboring white man and rob him rf his manhood, on the de fensive before the law. In our neighboring county of York warrants have been issued and placed in the hands of the Sheriff for the ar rest of certain Abolitionists, who, on the morning of the eleotion, notified the hands in their employ that they must vote as dictated by them or be discharged. This is the proper course to take. Abolitionists everywhere, who, by a resort to intimidation and ooereion, interfered with the right of suffrage and of conscience, should be prosecuted to tho utmost extent of the law, which prescribes the Peni tentiary and heavy penalties for such infrac tions of the free exercise of the elective franchise. Let the negro-loving tyrants, who proscribe and persecute white men for voting according to the dictates of reason and con science, be put through under the revised Penal Code which contains the following clause in reference to this subject: “Any person who shall directly or indirectly give, or offer to give, any such gift or reward to any euoh elector, with the intent to induoe him to vote for any particular candidate or candidates at suoh election, or shall directly or indirectly procure or agree to give any such gift or reward to such elector with the intent aforesaid, or shall, with the intent to in ftuence or intimidate such elector to give his vote for any particular candidate or candidates, at such eleotion, give, offer, or promise to give such elector any office, place, appointment or employment, or threaten such elector with dismissal or discharge from any office, place appointment or employment, public or private then held by him, in case of his refusal to vote for any particular candidate or candidates at such election —the person so offending shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, on eonviotion, be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars, and undergo an imprisonment not exceeding two years." YELLOW FEVER AT HILTON HEAD, The news from the Federal Army at Port Royal and vicinity, is of a painful character. A malignant fever bad made its appearance in the Camp, and carried off a number of offi cers and men. Among the former was Gen eral Mitchell, the commander of the 10th Army Corps—a man of brilliant genius and eminent military service. Fortunately the disease did not make its appearance until so late in the season that its reign will be short. By the last arrival it is stated that bat few cases had occurred for two or three days pre- Vioua to leaving. We haven’t heard a word for the last week about “ Hughes, Sanderson & Co."— This is passing strange, indeed, and we begin to ask ourself the question, what have we done to be thuß Blighted by the Express t We shall feel relieved at a notice now and then from our very modest and patriotic neighbor.

THeIuLORIOBI RESULT. - We soaroely have words to give utterance to the profound joy that fills our heart at the result of -the elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, .New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Delaware and WisoonsiD. For months the Democracy of this county and State have been the victims of the most atrocious and persecutions by the Abolition press and Abolition leaders. Every epithet that black hearted malice could suggest was freely used, aud ohargea of treason upon the whole party were of daily occurrence. But what did it all avail with the incorruptible masses of the people. The Abolitionists now, like their j predecessors, the Federalists, in the days of I John. Adams the elder, muzzled the press; they imprisoned men for the liberty of speech . they expelled others from the country who did not agree with them in sentiment; they •vested extraordinary powers in the President; they subverted the Constitution, and estab lished a reign of terror throughout the land ; and now, as in 1800, the Democracy have risen in the majesty of their strength, and have taken the first step toward expelling from power the betrayers of the people's con fidence. This election marks a new era in the history of the country. Let freemen rejoice in this tri umph of ours, for do bastileany longer awaits to receive them for the honest utterance of political opinions; no suspension of the great writ of liberty—the habeas corpus; no disre gard of trial by jury ; no trampling under foot the rights of the oitizen ; no destruction of sacred constitutional guarantees follows in the wake of a Demooratic viotory. The election is an admonition to the Ad ministration, that under the miserable pre tense of the war power they will not be per mitted to suspend the Constitution and render onr Government a more intolerable and un limited despotism than Russia or China. The people know no war power or peace power that oan set aside the fundamental law of the land, which is immutably the same in war as in peace, equally designed for adversity or pros perity. In thunder tones have the people condemned the Abolition Proclamation of President Lin coln and the fanatics to whoso pressure he suoeumbed. This verdiot of the people should put a barrier to further enoroaohment upon their rights. Let Democrats rejoice, for the long dark night of political despotism is pass ing away, and the bright sun of a better fu‘ ture is easting his rays above the horizon. Let our people take warning by the example of the terrible past, and shun the knaves and charlatans who are the authors of our awful calamities. In this hour of our great triumph we can well afford to be magnanimous to those who hare so shamefully and villainously per secuted us. Democracy is always as liberal and tolerant as Abolitionism is tyrannical and dospotio. Let those who, like ourselves, look forward to a future re-union of the States, take courage from this hour onward. One great-obstacle to this desirable consummation has been swept out of the way. Abolitionism and its terri ble concomitant will no longer sow the seeds of discord and strifo—will no longer add fuel to the flames that threatened to consume Amerioan liberty. We say no longer—but alas! we forget; for unfortunately, three more months will have to pass away, after it c ,. nvt . no , npv It-oombc,. el ;te the must cor rupt, the must ruiteu and fanatical Congress that ever disgraced a nation will adjourn sine die. Oh, that the People’s House which has been chosen, could meet next December, to put a curb on the crazy wretches who have been driving the Government to destruction ! These elections are but the precursor of still greater and more important ones, which will not only choose a House of Representatives, but a President of the United States, who will be faithful to his Constitutional oaths and exert his powers to preserve the peace and unity of the country, in place of seeking to divide and destroy it. Let us humbly trust that when that time shall arrive, wo may have a Government to save—that it may not be utterly ruined by_the folly and wickedness of those who are now seeking its overthrow. CONGRESSIONAL MAJORITIES. The following Congressional majorities in all the districts but three, show a Democratic majority in the State of 7,388. We omit the 15th district, (Bailey’s,) the 13th, (Tracy’s,) andjlhc 18th, (Hale’s,) because the votes east for the • candidates were not strictly party votes. This majority, if it had been properly divided, would have elected eight more Con gressmen, and left enough over to carry a nimh in any district not giving over 1400 Abolition majority : DEMOCRATS.

MILITARY OPERATIONS. The telegraph informs us that the Bnow storm of Friday was general. South of us there was probably a greater fall of snow than here. If this has been the ease, a stop has probably been put to any further move ments of .the Army of the Potomac for tbo present. We shall regret this, says the Har risburg Patriot, not because we are anxious for the spilling of moro blood, but because either a great victory or a great defeat, before the winter sots in fairly, might have opened the way for negotiations with a view to tho restoration of peace and Union. We say Union—for without a restoration of the Union there can be no peace. If the weather holds on as it has been since Friday, we do not see how the army can avoid going into winter quarters, unless, by a rapid and successful forward movement, it should force back the oolumns of tho enemy to the rice and cotton -regions, where the temperature is milder than it i B in Virginia. A very few days will settle the question whether there is to be a further ad vance or a halt until next Spring. SOMEBODY ELBE’S BULL GORED. The Abolitionists of Baltimore and Harris burg are muoh exercised over the military arrests recently made in those oities by ordor of Major General Wool. These gentlemen had no word of condemnation for the arbi trary arrests of Democrats ; that was right and proper, hut now that the iron hand of military rule has been laid upon their shoul ders,they howl mostpiteously over thetyranny of military commanders. They are now be ginning to feel some of the wrongs they were so anxious to infliot upon their neighbors.— 'We hope they may be compelled to quaff the bitter cup of insolenoe and despotism which they had prepared for Democrats, to its dregs. They will then learn sense and deoency.

A letter dated “ Camp Release,” Minoe sota, Oot. 20th, spe&ke of the suecessee which ave attended the efforts to suppress IndiaD disturbances at the Northwest. Over three warriors, most of whom were im plicated in the recent horrible massacres, ha?e surrendered to the forces sent out under Gen eral Sibley. This letter says further • The three hundred Sioux who have sur rendered are in close confinement here and at the Agency, twenty-five miles below and are now undergoing a trial by drum-head court martial. This court consists of an efficient body of men, who combine both le»al and military knowledge. The President Colonel Wm: CJrooke, of St. Paul, i 8 a grad oate of West Point and a thorough and ex perienced officer. Id almost every case the sentence will doubtless be death, and by hanging ; for the atrocities were so great that little mercy will be shown as to the means of punishment ; and the outbreak was so general throughout the lower Sioux Nation, that the surest method is to pronounce every warrior guilty until he can show proof of his innocence ; but this course is not pursued— on the contrary no Indian will be convicted unless sufficient evidence is produced to estab lish his guilt. But as all these Sioux were well known among the frontiermen, and as they held white captives while the outrages were being commuted, there is little difficulty in obtaining positive testimony. If then re port goes East that three hundred of these oreatures have been hung, call it not cruelty they are human and deserve pity ; but on earth, do pity. Double Murder and Suicide.—On the 31st ult., a shocking tragedy took place at Port Clinton. Ottawa 00., 0. ' On that day a T. J Kirk left home with his'wife and two small boys, leaving the house in charge of two daughters, Alice, aged fifteen, and Amy, aged eleven, together with an adopted daugh ter, Naomi Knight, aged eighteen, and Henry Riquartz, a hired man aged twenty-two. The eldest daughter, Alice, was absent from nine o clock until near two, and on her return found the table set and the plates havig the appearance that the three—Riquartz and the two girls—had eaten dinner. The girls were absent, and in searching for them sheencoun' ■\tered Riquartz, who denied all knowledge of They did not return during the after poon, and nightfall Riquartz informed her that they had gone to visit their uncle in the pillage, when Riquartz seized and strangled [her until she became unconscious ; afterward /binding her hand and foot, remarking that he did not desire to murder her, but merely pre vented her giving alarm to the neighbors until he could kill himself. He then bade her good 1 bye and left the house. At the door he met a ! woman who asked for the three girls, and in- ' formed her that they were up Bfcairs. On en- j tering she found Alice bound as described, ! and released her. The village was soon alarm- I ed, and a search instituted, which resulted in j the disoovery of the body of Riquartz hanging * in the barn. The bodies of the two girls were found in the granary, having evidently beeD violated and then strangled with a leathre band on their necks; the youngest girl had her hands tied behind her baok. lue Crtor.—The Doylostuwn (Bucks oounty) Intelligencer says.- The crop of ap ples recently gathered in this county has not been equalled for many years past. The quan tity of cider manufactured for vinegar and other purposes is immense. Vast quantities have been sent to Philadelphia, from the upper sta tions on the N. P. Railroad, in particular. Ihe stock of cider vinegar in this section of country is not likely to be exhausted for some time to come. Winter apples have.been sell ing in the upper end of the county for as low as twenty-five cents per bushel, and in some canes purchasers were very numerous at this price. In some parts of the county a con siderable amount of whisky is being manu factured from the apples. We estimate the value of the saleable apple crop of Bucks coun ty this year to be not less than fifty thousand dollars, while the aggregate production would reach a much higher figure. The Drafted Men. —The Harrisburg Patriot and Union says that Adjutant General Thomas is now in that city for the purpose of arranging wirh the Governor to have the drafted men sent forward as rapidly as possi ble to HU up old regiments now in the field. Against this, as we are informed, the Gover nor protests, and, as we think, very properly. These drafted men have been torn from their homes and their families, in many in stanos, under very distressing oircumstances, and yet beiDg grouped together in companies from the Rame peighborhoods and counties, they are, to a certain extent, consoled by each other, aDd in case of need they can assist each other. But now, if they are to be sepa rated and scattered among strangers and in different regiments, it wiil add largely to the hardships they must endure at best. We think it would be a much better plan to have the old regiments consolidated, aod the officers thrown out sent home on the recruiting service, or, in some instances, put iDto the new regiments to drill and prepare the drafted men for service. Alexander K. McClure.— The man who marched out with a flag of truce to surren der Chambersburg was Alexander K. M'Clure the very fellow who in Philadelphia, last week, made a speech- to a crowd of abolition ists, in which he expounded the whole theory of war according to Wendell Phillips, advo cated marching at once on the enemy, giving them no quarters; and, in short, gave his audience to understand that himself and a half dozen of his own political kidney could march against Lee, annihilate him before breakfast and reach Richmond in time for dinner. A squad of ragged horsemen approached his town, and instead of shouldering his shotgun, and dying in defense of his cause, as he was very, willing to do in theory on a Philadel phia stump, be takes a white flag and goes out two miles to meet the enemy and surren der the town—the very last man ready for fight, the very first ready for surrender.— Washington Cor. Chicago Times. SERGEANT-AT-ARMS. Matwwn, Nov. Sth, 1862, Geo. BA!»DERSO!f, EBQ , Editor of The Lancatter Intelligencer.

Clay, at the Republican ratification meet ing on the Thursday evening prior to the election, at the Cooper Institute in the City of New York. The threat is as follows : “Had he been charged with rashness in say ing that if Seymour and'Wood were hung it would save the lives of many honest Demo crats ? But from what we have heard, could any that they were giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the Government? And in that case the men who made the Con stitution had decided that they should be bung by the neck till they were dead. [And nmy God have mercy on their souls !| If &eymour should he elected, civil tear would be at our hearthstones /’ I hat is tu say, (says the World,) if Messrs. Seymour and Woud are elected they arc to be seized without law and huDg.without trial, and civil war will he at our hearthstones/* The Abolitionists stand, in this canvass, pre cisely where the Secessionists stood id the canvass for President. If they cannot carry the election, they threaten to overthrow the Government. Of a piece with these words of the imperji nentand revolutionary Major General Cassias M. Clay, is the following extract from a letter to the Buffalo Express by Samuel Wilkeson, an attache of the Dibune, dated the 26 th of October: “I tell you, my dear sir, that if, in a satanic providence of politics, we are passed under the yoke, by Horatio Seymour, to the slave power, the revolution now iD progress in the South will be transferred td the North, and will whelm-the great cities and portions of the country with violences that I shudder to think of. This result is inevitable from the_ enthronement ;u New York of the power which is waging bloody war against the life of the Republic. It will assuredly endeavor to secure its future by a destruction of our liberties. With what bloody obstinacy endeavor would be resisted such men as you and I know.” That is, as the South rebelled against the election of Mr. Lincoln, so the Abolitionists will rebel against tbe constitutional election of Mr. Seymour. The Abolitionists will re sist a State administration which they cannot control with “bloody obstinacy”—a threat of violence which, says the World, will have quite a different effect from intimidation.— Although the Republican administration commands a million soldiers, ' and the Government bastiles yawn for new viotiins, the people of New York will elect Horatio Seymour next Tuesday—and abide the conse quences. The New York Times started this threat of blood and anarchy on Sunday, when it threat ened the overthrow of all civil power, all State governments and all civil rights, when it de clared “martial law over the entire North is a national necessity. If the Governors of, the Northern States manifest a factions the provost marshals, it is presumed, will have tbe power to keep, them in order. If State Legislatures should undertake to interfere with the action of the General Government, necessary to the prosecution of the war, they will come under the action of martial law, and if the action of any political party shall threaten to change or paralyze the movements of the Government, it will doubtless be com petent for the provost marshal in aDy State to suspend political meetings and postpone elections. If the Constitution of the United States is to be cofistrued according to the necessities of a oivil war of vast proportions, the,Constitutions of individual States cannot be allowed to stand in the way of its vigorous prosecution.” What do men of the bench, of the courts, of the farms, of the manufactories, of the counting house, of the workshops, ,of tbe field, think of bloody instructions like these ?' Will they not, even if successful, as in France in the worst days of the French revolution, return to plague the inventor ? But the record of disunionism ends not here. We quote from the New York Tribune : “The same who have t uched ballots for a quarter of a century can handle a cartridge with the same dexterity of fioger. They will as easily and as readily organize a military despotism, if the exigency of the hour demand it, as they can reconstruct on the foundation of tranquil arbitration. We have opened our eyes to the necessity of a stronger central power.” From John C. Fremont in St. Louis: “That the people were in the field and he was at their he&d, and would have everything done according to their expectations from him. * * * That he meant to carry out such measures as they, the people, expected him to carry out, without regard to the Red Tape of the Washington people.” The New York Times has declared tbe Ad ministration “utterly incompetent to the task devolved upon it.” The Tribune has abused it without stint as disobedient to the laws. The Evening Post says it is a failure. The Cincinnati. Gazette has been unsparing in its condemnation. The Chicago Tribune was so ferocious in its anger that it published the in famous letter stating that the victory in Mary land would “set us back politically six months.” These Wadsworth men openly express fears in tbe Anti-Slavery Standard that the war may end befure January let, so that tbe Union may be restored as it was.— N.
