Our Duty as a Party. Every Administration newspaper is now busy in claiming that the result of the recent election shows an overwhelm ing pOpular endorsement by the people of the policy of Mr. Lincoln. It is no such thing. Out of the whole number of votes cast, he will scarcely be able to clam a majority of five per cent. When we consider the means employed to se cure his re-election; the majority receiv ed by him must be regarded as small in deed, and anything but a strong popu lar endorsement of the policy of his Administration. This claim is loudly and persistently made for the purpose of influencing Democrats, hi hiding them for the time being, and as a preparatory step to pave the way for future lids deeds. Many. Of these journals are very gi dons and exceedingly mild-mannere just now. r„They ha to a trreat extel abandoned the use of the vile epithet they bandied about co freely during tlic canvass.

This they cannot and' dare not agree to do, until they know what is to I the future course of the President. The Demo cratic party stands as widely apart in ideas from. the Abolition party as the poles of the earth are as-under. The leaders of the Abolition pnrty ,intid in complete antagonism to the he-t in terests of the nation, and they rite no more to be trusted to-day than they were at any time in the past. We cannel and dare not take it for granted that their future course of action will he an improvement upon the pa,4.

This it cannot and dare not do, except condi tionally. Should Mr. I.incoln see lit to change his policy, should he show evi dence of returning reason by shaking off the wretched advisers about him, and by calling to his aid sound states men and wise counsellors, and engage honestly in an earnest etihrt to re-es tablish the Government upon a Consti tutional basis, he would have no tirmer supporters than the members of the great Democratic party, which, even though defeated, has so abundantly shown its power in the recent election. Until this is done by Mr. Lincoln, he cannot expect to be endorsed or supimrt ed by the Democratic party. It must stand in opposition to him and his party; not in factious opposition, but prepared to canvass every measure pro posed by him, and to set its seal of ap proval or of disapproval upon it, as wis dom and statesmanship xhall dictate. The Democratic party understands its position and its duty. As an opposition party it will scan closely the acts of the party now in power. Whatever is really wise, whatever is truly for the good of the country, that it Will endorse and ap prove. Mr. Lincoln and the party will find it ready to unite with them in any measures they may propose which wis dom can sanction and true patriot ism ap prove. But, they will find it always ready to insist upon its right freely to canvas every act of the President of the President and of his party, approv ing what is right and supporting it, lad condemning and opposing what is wrong. Heretofore, the Republican party has as utterly refused to conciliate or com promise with the Democratic party, as it has with the South. We have no as surance that it does not still intend to repudiate the only policy by which the North can be united and the South di vided. It has the whole machinery of the government in its hands, and upon it rests the entire responsibility of the future. The Democratic party will sternly hold it to its pledges.

The responsibility shall be put just where it belongs, and they who have pierced the nation's heart shall be .mitten with the nation's wrath. Our duty as tin opposi tion party is plain, and before us lies a great work to which we must address ourselves with wisdom and energy.

Mr. LINCOLN has been re-elected to the Presidency ; not by fair means, we verily .frauds on the electiVe'liarOxiSe, of . most outrageous and flagrant chitiractei., But, nevertheless, beix elected ; : and the result an apparent majority of*3 people of the Northern States:fiave liberately decided in favor of a contin uance of the war, bloodshed, devasta tion, conscription, taxation and all the terrible calamities which are yet in store for us as a Nation. They have decided I that all the acts of his administration so far are right and proper, and have vir tually given him a carte_ blcenche. to do what he pleases.in the future. No such power wa.s entrusted to a ruler by a free people before in the history of the world, and Mr. LINCOLN would be more than human if he did not exercise it in the most despotic manner. Our fathers, wisely as they thought, hedged in ,the Executive, and prevented him from en croaching upon the liberties of the peo ple by Constitutional enactments ; but those barriers have been overthrowh by the present Chief Magistrate, and the people, with loud acclaim, have endors ed his acts and are willing to patiently submit to any yoke, no matter how heavy, he may place upon their necks. Time was in the history of the Republic when such conduct on the part of the Executive would not have been sub mitted to; hut that time has gone by, anti we now show ourselves, in every respect, unworthy descendants or the tnen of the Revolution. The past four years have been dark days - in the history of the Nation; but the four years that are to ensue will be still darker and more terrible in their coueiluem•es. We greatly fear the hdays of the Republic are nuutbered.— Notlting, save and except a mereiful in terposition of Providence, can save us from anarchy and despotism, and the awful consequenees which are certain to follow in their train.

The NelrhAngport Ifr fo id concludes an interesting history of the various substitutes for the large and costly pipe organ with the following well-deserved notice of the Cabinet Organ "All these inventions were, how- i ever, but little more than a series of expert- moots, a striving after an ideal, which should combine all excellences and reject all im perfections, which, according to the univer sal testimony of the greatest musicians throughout the world, has at last been attained in the 'Cabinet Organ' of Mason it Hamlin. Those who have had their ears painted by the thin, brassy sound of the old flishioned seraphine, in which the wind was forced instead of drawn through, or who have.tried to be thankfnl for the improved melodeon, but wishing there was more of it, can hardly realize that an instrument of the same class should be capable of such power, richness of tone ; and surprising 'ef fects as the Cabinet Organs.

What wise men feared has come to pass. For the first time in our history we have struggled with all theeombined powers of an administration, resolved to perpetuate itself in oftiee.)Dy any and every appliance, whethef right or wrong, usual or unusual, higitimate or illegitimate. We have seen: not armies of officeholders alone, now grown so numerous that they darken the whole land us locusts did the land of Egypt, controlled, moved, and :tmarshalled against the cause o the peqple: but we have known and felt that; the whole power of the multitudes of harpies, Who have been fattening on the spoils of Wa r , piling up money smined with Mood, huililing palatial Mausious in which there k Dot all In:mest hriek, oat roll ing iu all the lux uriOs splendor of illy acquired wealth, wittig out of the miseries of the people,;.od gathered from amid the decaying wren: and the crumbling ruins of the country was arrayed' against the course, - of right.— These stuffed and gorged public mul torts:, Who have fed to repletion on pub lie plunder, whose purses have grown wonderfully plethoric front the more than abundant accumulations ofshodily contracts were ready to bleed freely ; ready to furnish any amott nt of money tsuch stuff as it is,; to L'illuence the the election of vestertlay. ;Alen in their employ were forced to vote its these wretches dictated. Ilut this was not all. Int' army, raised by the people, composed of the people, and intended to li' employed only for great and legitimate military purposes was transformen . into a mere political machine. In rilany places soldiers, picked men, tools willing to do the bidding of a villgar tyrant, ( were sent to intimidate tlw people, and prevent a fair and free (ix - pression of their siivcreign will. These numerous appliances of a des potism „which lurving milled our once glorious eountry, isresolvfiil that it shall not escape without-This last and crown -ling disgrace, were found sufficient, if we are to believe the rep4rts of yester day's election. to overcor4e the cattiest desire or every true patriot in the hind, and for the time being at least, to ex tinguish the liberties of the people. The heavens are dark above -Is, and from our political sky no star of hope semis forth a single glimmering ray of light. Before our country, anl face to face with us let this dread 1100', Stand' , the grim form of the gigantic:ocl monstrous war, which has already .gulped down the deep draughts of blood drained from the hearts of more than tv million sons of the people, who have gone forth to worse than useless slaughter. Still.this red !Moloch, unappeased thirsty as ever, demands, and will continue to demand more blood. That will be the cry from this hour. dlloofi! more blood ! new victims for the slaughter! thous ands, and hundreds of tlmusands more! 'Plie very elements of nature seem to sympathize with us.

But dark as the pictti:re is, sad as is the present, and hopeless as seems the future, there is one great duty which now presses horny upon every right-thinking and patriotic citizet While fanaticism and mad folly revel in their illy gotten triumph, while the enemies of the nation rejoice in the ruin they have wrought, while an in cendiary crew plunder the ship of State, there is a plain duty inenmbent upon all who really love their country and wish it well. Truth never eliangvs. The great principles.of political p6liey remain the same under all mutations. Popular folly cannot reverse them, despotic power cannot crush them out of exist ence. They will rise up amid any eon ceiveable possible wrec4c of government and demand to'be recognized. Woe to that nation which refuses to embrace and apply them. Its '4lestiny, if it be a republic, is written; in the record of history ; the shores ')f whose broad sea are strewn with tlili broken relics or such governmental structures. In the present crisis of our political fate, the duty of the great Democratic party is very plain. It derives its ex istence from great principles. Possess ing the true theory of this government, acting on such a policy as gave to it all its past greatness, ready to rush to the rescue of our imperilled nationality, its duty is plain and manifest. It must preserve its organizatidn intact and un broken ; it must at once begin to pre pare for the great coining strtiggle; it must be ready at a monient's warning to seize the helm of the'Ship of State,when amid the coming storm the fanatical crew now on board shall be driven from the position they are unfit to hold.— That hour may come very speedily. Already on every side tre seen the signs which indicate its near approach. It cannot be long del4ed. Then will have arrived that great opportunity for the Democratic party which it must be ready to embrace. If out of the general wreck of our once &lions structure any thing worth preserving is saved, it must be done by the ;great and time honored organization Of the Democratic party. Its duty then is plain. The duty of every individual mar ifL its ranks is plain. We Mug "abidz • firmly, by the - greatprinciples of ourparty.

What is the Pulpit Doing. All wars, are demoralizing in their tendency. Civil wars such as ours are • . more so than any others. It impossi- We that such a strife as that in which we are now engaged shoUld long prevail without its being attended with a great increase of crime. A spirit of lawless ness is necessarily engendered and fos tered, every evil passion of the hUrnan heart is stimulated, the restraints of so cial life are loosened, and even the con trolling influences of religion relax their hold on the minds and hearts of men At such times, above all others, it be hoves the Christian ministry to be es- Pecially watchful. The young of both sexes in our land are now - tempted as they could not well be in calmer times. We see evidences all around us of a loos- ening of the restraints of home. Boys astonish grown up men by their pro fanity and their precocity in every spe cies of vice; and even girls seem to have lost, not a little of that shrinking modes- ty of demeanor which should character ize the sex, whose chief ornament it is. On all sides, all about us, at morning, at 110011, or at night, wherever we may look we see most abundant evidence of the wide spread demoralization which has been produced by this war. It is the legitimate, if not the inevitable re sult, of our political condition. ('amps have ever been schools of vice, and it was not without sonic show of reason that the elder 'Napoleon is reported to have said, " the worse man the better soldier." The influence of the camp is felt all over the land. There is a spirit of recklessness, a disregard for the nice proprieties of life, a refusal to be con trolled by ordinary restraints, a disre- gard of law civil and divine, an effron tery or crime whidi is enough to make and• thoughtful man among m: tremble for the fate of his vountry And, sad it is to say, that, while this is the condition - of affairs, the ordinary nmral agencies .seem to be, if lint sus pended, almost completely diverted front their original purpose. Drunkenness abounds in the land as it never did be fore ; hut who hears of a temperance so ciety, or even of any eflin•t being made to stay it. Profanity no longer seems to shock any one, Ilia even our modern divines. It is doubtful whether Paris can any longer rival our cities in one species of crime ; yet, who hears a word about any of these things, except it be occasionally front the secular press. 'What is the American pulpit doing? Is it making the etlifft it should do to stay the tide of sin and corruption that is sweeping over the laud" Where are the watchmen on the walls of Zion, the men who profess to believe that they stand as special agents between (lod and dying, sinful men, to lift up their voices in solenm warning, and in earliest en treaties and expostulations ? Do they really believe that, with the terrible in crease of crime all about us, men and women arc being hurried to hell in mul titudes infinitely more numerous, and with a rapidity naleh greater than ever before ? ‘Chat are all those men, whose duty it is to point the rout to Heaven and lead the way," about ? Does any one need to ask Surely no one who has had the fortune (misfortune, per haps we had better say) to listen to a sermon for months past from any /riga/ minister Have they not all been busy preaching; polities ? Are not the pulpits of our churches converted into partisan hustings, from which have been heard from Sabbath to Sabbath, not warnings to sinners, but distempered political harangues ; not the words of the glo rious gospel of the (bid of peace, but the hoarse bellowing,: of Moloch, the bloody tlod of war ; not utild entreaties, lieseeching met professing to be Chris tkins to dwell together as brethren in unity, but vindictively bitter denuncia tions of all who ditb'r with them, de livered in tones which must. make the very devil laugh with fiendish glee. The hireling ministry of the days are a curse to society. Thousands of them have sold their birthright in heaven for• a pitiful mess or earthly pottage. itudes them stand as stumbling blocks in the way of sinners, who are falling overthein into hell. They are do ing little to prevent thealmost universal prevalence of the milldew of vice and 'rime which is spreading all over this lamb Infidelity is abroad, and reaping a Hell harvest. Vital Christianity is almost dead. Skepticism is now the prevailing creed. God is dishonored in those who profess to be his servants. The churches of the land have almost lost control of the people, apparently almost ceased to care for• their eternal welfare. society is rapidly becoming as reckless, and as vicious, as was that of France, wlnin Cod was de throned, and a decorated and crowned harlot :set up to be worshiped as the god dess of a reckless nation, which had rioted in blood and wantoned in wild, and unrestrained passions, until all sense of shame was lost. (treat crimes have almost ceased to shock us, so frequent is their occurrence, and the wide-spread prevalence of vice no longer• seems to alarm us. And, amid it all, very many members of the Christbm ministry, in stead of lifting up their voices in solemn w a rnioss and earnest appeals, are only adding fuel tothe ;lames, as, from Sab bath to Sabbath, they substitute dis tempered political harangues for gospel sermons, and insult Cod, whom they so irreverently address, by inject ing a "stump speech into nearly every prayer they make. Many of our modern American Protestant Churches hav ceased to lie aught else than mere politi cal eonventieles. It is true, 'there are many and noble exceptions. There are many true Chris tian ministers who feel the dignity and the loftiness of their calling, pure and godly men who refuse to descend from their lofty position, and disdain to be draggle their robes in the filth and mire of polities; but many, - very many, so act as to dishonor religion and bring the cause of Christianity into disrepute. It is high time these men saw the ten dency of their practices. While infi delity and crime are rapidly spreading throughout the land, these men am doing little or nothing to stay its tide ; nay, in many instances they are only adding to its volume and increasing its fury: If God keeps any account of the doings of men, there will surely come a day when these unfaithful stewards will have to give a reckoning for their deeds, and if the Bible be true, a ter rible one it will be for them. : , 4.7 - 1".

We cart icareely believe that report "to be-! correct, even in the face of the reason assigned, which we know is now ope rating powerfully, both on Mr. Lincoln and his, adherents. The ..if - rrcrow's de spatch says that Mr. Lincoln is anxious to harmoniseall parties in the North, and that to accomplish this he will pur sue a conciliatory policy toward his op ponents, and treat much as will stand by him to a fiiir share of Government pa- tronage That is not the way for Mr. Lincoln to attemptlo approach the. Democracy. They cannot be purchased or bribed into an endorsement of his war policy, which has. been up to this hour such a complete and most disastrous failure. There may be afew mercenary men among us yet, prepared to sell their birthright of prin ciple for a mess of potage, but we alma ' bend they are scarce. Most of those who were influenced by no higher mo tives are with Mr. Lincoln already. Those who remain have been tried and not found wanting. The war • policy of Mr. Lincoln and that of General McClellan, as laid clown by himself in clear anti statesmanlike terms, are utterly and irreconcilably at variance. ;eneral McClellan could not now accept of a command under Mr. Lincoln without completely stultifying his record and making himself au object of scorn and pity. We do not believe Mr. Lincoln would think of insulting General McClellan by making hint any otter of the kind at present; we are sure General McClellan would not degrade himself in the eyes of his friends and of the world by accepting it. If Mr. Lincoln wishes to have the support. of the Democratic party, he can secure it ; not by honeyed phrases : which mean nothing, not by offers of bribes of place and patronage—all such overtures the Democracy will scornio accept. They are neither to be soothed , by plandishmentsnorseduced by bribes. They stand upon principle, and in po litical ideas are as widely removed faun the A built ionists as the poles of the earth are assunder. If Mr. Lincoln wants our co-operation he must change his policy. tic hue" run the machine „ on the track of fanatical ideas long enough. The guage of that road wont suit the Democratic engine. It would be worse than useless to try to make it run on it. It now stands on the old track,firm, iind well ballasted, on which were safely carried for many years, without an acci dent, all the best interests of this great nation. It cannot and shall not be switched oft upon the wretched track on which Lincoln has been "running the machine." 1.'”” many terrible accidents have already happened on that line, and our conductor, "history teaching by example," assures us that, he has been at the farther termi ti us of the track, and that it ends in a steep in clined plane, of a declivity so great that after a certain point is passed, which is not very many miles ahead of the Lin coln engine, neither puling on the break;4 nor reversing the locomotive can save the whole train from being precipitated over a tremendous preci pice, at the base of which lie the ruins of more than one once proud Republie. If Mr. Uncoilt insists upon running the governmental machine on' his track, to certain eventual ruin, he must excuse the Denioeratic party, if it should refuse to have any hand in bringing about the final catastrophe. The Coming Draft and the l'haint . es in the Law. The 'Washington correspondent of the Detroit Fire Press writes as follows, under date of October 20th : It is generally concede'd that the next m.ission MCOllgreSS Will, oil the recommen dation of the War I tepart ment, materially amend the existing tionseription law by striking out the provision allowing drafted Olen to furnish substitutes. It will lie re membered that this was attempted id the last session of Congress, and was approved by the Military Committees of both the Senate and House. It was adopted in the Senate, and failed in the I louse only on ac count of the approaching elections. • It was, however, strongly urged liy Schenck and other leading Abolitionists, and on a test vote received the support of lift y memlierS— all of the Administration party, including lleaman, i)riggs Longyear, and Kellogg, of :%lichigan.

Lincoln. There is not the least doubt ill the world' that this is the programme, or that it will be speedily carried out. Yellow Tickets Numberless were themeaus, not right in themselves, to which the dominant party resorted in the recent presidential election. In Clay township, in this county, the Abolitionists used yellow tickets. That color, somewhat appro priate as indicating the in iscegenetical principles of ,hose using them. was re sorted to in order that men having De mocratic laborers in their employ might be able to influence their votes. An in stance of this kind occurred which is j worthy of notice. The proprietOr of a manufactory of rifle barrels, a lucrative business in these war times, and one which would not flourish half so well if the work of wholesale human slaugh ter should cease, insisted that each of his employees should vote these mulatto colored tickets. One of the men, re volting against the indignity thus put upon his manhood, refused to vote the colored ticket, at the same time avow ing his willingness to vote a white ticket with the Lincoln electors on it. This he was permitted to do, but the very next morning he was discharged. Call you that freedom of election? There is no doubt but that thousands of poor men in this State and elsewhere were forced to votv against their honest con victions, on pain of being turned out of employment to which they were accus tomed, and forced to seek a livelihood in some other business, of which, per haps, they had no knowledge. No one but the poor man, upon whom that kind j of pressure is brought to bear, can tell how much he must sacrifice in ease he refuses to yield to the wish of his em ployer. His daily labor is all his family have to depend , upon to keep them from actual want, and it is no light thing for him to be discharged and compelled to seek employment and a home elsewhere. The use of tickets of a distinctive color, or with a mark upon them, by which they can be distinguished, is one way in which rich men are able totyrannise over the poor, and a very mean method it is.

To such a 'lion, yesterday, the people oft he so called United States surrendered their lives, their liberties, their persons, &lid their purses, to have and to hold the same for at least four years, and for as much longer as he shall choose. For it is plain that if he so will it, he may hold on for his natural life, and transmit the sceptre to his de scendents.

It seems strange to us that he should have condescended to submit to an election at all, and we are eon vinced lie world never have done so, had he not been convinced beforehand that d would result in his favor.

The lightest punishment lie had to expect, was to be crushed, Mr he might have felt assured that even ,had he been elected, he would not have been alleyeed to take his seat.

You are douhtless fa miliar with the oath imposed upon us by our new Constitution. Odious as it, was, our people were still willing 10 take it, bill this was not deemed sufliffient, and the most silly and vexatious f mestions were added, with out the least shadow of law. For example, one gentleman who had taken the oath, and answered satisfitetorily other questions, was at 'last asked if the two aunties were engage,' in battle, which would he desire to be victo rious ? Ile answered, „ That.which was right in sight oft loft ;" find this reply was deemed sufficient to establish his disloyalty, and his vote was rejected. others denied their right simply because they frequented certain houses, or assoeia led with partieular persons. ( tuff other was rejected upon the testimony of :L volunteer witness, that he had heard him say, when army passed through Hagers town, in I sill, that they would never re turn.- The largest majority, however, of those whose Villa's were refused were lint, perntitt , •i I In silent at all, tar ni offer any (widen., of their loyalty, or fidelity to the Constinitifbi.

The outrages, that were permitted be armed ruffians around the polls were equally inf a mous; it was almost impossible to approach the polls without great risk. The returns will perhaps show the largest majority for Lincoln in this county'of all others in the State, yet I could make oath with a elear consvience that McClellan, with a fair election, would have, large majority. Strengtl► of the De►noeratie Party In the election last Tuesday the num ber of votes east for President will not fall short of four millions. Of this num ber Mr. Lincoln will have a majority of less than two hundred thousand, not a a per centage of majority on the whole vote of five per rent. Who will say, in sight of these figures, that the Demo cratic party is annihilated ? Who can help admitting, not only its great vital ity, but, its enormous power when Ile reflects upon the fact that direct mili tary interference controlled the voting in Maryland and Tennessee ; while else where, throughout the whole country, all the power of au administration dis pensing the vast patronage of one thou sand million of dollars annually was brought to bear against it? We num ber in our ranks almost two million men ; honest, true hearted, patriotic men; men who can neither be corrupt ed by bribes nor intimidated by arbi trary power ; men who love their country, and whose chief desire is to aid in securing its happiness, its pros perity, and its greatness. The future will find us employment. The time must come when the people will turn back to the Democratic party, demand ing that it should be reinstated in power. Then will begin its second term of rule, which will be longer than the first, and that lasted, almost without interrup tion, for a period of more than half a, century. Latest from the Richmond Papers N YORK, Nov. 13.—The Richmond pa pers of the 10th have been received. In the Confederate Semite a resolution was offered that it. itisound poliey to employ negroes in the army in all' positions except as soldiers. In the I louse thene was a sharp debate on Mr. Foote's resolutimr, denouncing Davis' recommendation to repeal the exemption of editors and newspaper employees from military service. The resoltnion was finally referred. The ltichmond Enquirer pronounces the recommendatian of Davis as the first step toward a dictatorship. Governor Brown, of Georgia, in pis mes sage, advocates the right of each State to negotiate a peace for itself. The Whig criticizes Davis proposition to employ slaves in the artily and navy, and wants him and the rebel mithorites to mind theiz own business, which is to enforce and execute the military laws they now have It says his arguments are the arguments of Seward and Sumner, and, it true, slavery is wrong, and the sum of all barbarism.

This was the beginning of the heavy storm -- :which lasted nearly all of last week. Gen. Sheridan was at Winchester, and had been very sick. During. election day news was brought to Winchester that a large Confed erate force had out-flanked the camp at Cedar Creek, rind was 4 wiftly marching , northward on the west side of the North Mountain, to get to Winchester and kn. off tlio supplies. Sheridan at once rode down to Cedar Creek., and issued orders for a re ' treat. At daylight on WednesdaY . the camp was broken up and the retreat ' began. The infantry marched in front and the cavalry protected the rear. The day's march was about fifteen miles and in the evening the armyencamped eight miles south of Winchester. Rain fell in torrents all day, and it was with the'greatest difileuity that the wagons and artillery could I be brought along. Many wagons broke 1 down and had to be abandoned. On Tlmrs -1 day at daylight, in the midst of the rain, the i march was resumed. The troops reached I Winchester. A stroll! , garrison was left there, and the main body turned westward towards I larper's Ferry ; marched about six miles to the opequan, and encamped on its eastern bank. The Confederates made no attack during this march. Now Sheridan's main hotly is east of the tMequan. Win chester is at his outpost. The Shenandoah 1 Valley has been given up to the enemy.
