ii Coincidence.
The future hiAorian, who will be summoned
to the work of faithfully chronicling the events
of the present, will be.struck with the fact that
in no instance wai•the rebellion so signaHy de
feated as when Lee at the head of his butchers,
and the Wood-Sey moors at the back of their
bullies, sought to tiansfer the war to northern
free-Soil. In the slave , States, the rebehion can
neither again gather force or provisions. It has
exhausted itself where it was supposed to be
inexhaustible. It has recruited its lust men and
made its last commissary requisition in the
South. Hence the persistency with vt bleb the
rebels in the North have bee; preparing for
invasion by the rebels of the South. Between
the leaders in New York, and the leaders of the
same faction in the South, it was .vitally ini
portant that invasion should succied. Jeff.
Davis was no surer of erecting his power per
manently on the desolation of the North, than
was and is Horatio Seymour expectant of Jen
daring himself popular with the niob by oink
ing at their bloody attacks on the law and its
upholders. The arrangement between theta and
their kindred spirits, was as explicit as any corn
pact between deuragogue3 could be made, and
the failure of the one following so closely on the
heels of Abe other, leaves their plans exposed
to the public, in,all the deformity and atrocity
in which treason and apostacy can array, them.
—The riots in New York completti theconnec-*
tion of the Democratic leaders with the rebel
lion. We need no longer indulge in. mere
charges on this subject. We need not insist in
honest labguage that the leaders of the Demo
cratic party North and South are in sympathy,
and that the object to destroy the Government
is the same. All that will be necessary here
after, is to point to results in both sec
tions. The desolation of the Soirth wil serve to
convict every Democratic leader of the South
ern wing of that party—while the blackened
ruins and remains of murdered men, women and
children in New York, will bring conviction
home to the leaders of Democracy in the North.
And thus togett.er, with an equal share of
infamy ascribed to their memories, the Demo
cratic leader's North and South are finding their
political graves. •
Position of the President.
On the 27th of February, 1860, Abraham
Lincoln made a speech be ore the YOung Men's
Republican Union, at Cooper Institute, New
York, professing to be a "vindication of the
policy of the framers of the Constitution and
the principles of the Republican party," which
he concluded with the following declaration in
favor of a resolute adherence to the right in
opposition to a policy of compromises :
" Let us not be diverted by more•of these so
phistical contrivances wherewith we are so
industriously plied and bolaeord--contrivances
such as groping for some middle groundbriuMen the
right and the wrong —vain as the , suarch ,for a
man who should be neither a living man nor a
dead man—such as a policy of "don't care" on
a question about winch all true men do care=
such as Union appeals beseeching true Union
men to yield :to disuuionists, reversing the di
vine rule, and calling.not„ the-sinners.-but the
righteous to repentance—such ;as invocationsto Washington. imploring men -, to 'unsay what
Wishington said, and undo what Wrishington
did.
" Neither let us be slandered from our duty
by false sccusations against us, nor fright( ned
from it by i oenaees of destruction to the Gov.
emment nor of dungeons to ourselves. Lit us
have faith that right soaks' 'night, and in that lath
Id us to the end dare to do our duty as , we understand
it."
Such are the sentiments with which we are
to understand Abraham Lincoln entered upon
the discharge of his duties as President. If
they did not make him a radical man, we do
not understand Vie political acceptation of the
term. Of late there are parties who have
claimed him as a conservative. With what
justice will , appear from the language' just
qutited; unless, since his
.hands have come in
contact with power, his entire heart has
changed. That language is the expression of
the most intense radicalism.
While we are compelled to admit that isola-
ted acts of the President would appear to cow
filet with the views he . expressed at Cooper
Institute An February, 1860, we are not yet
convinced of his determination to depart from
the line of conduct there markedeutzztet unsay
what he then'Said, and undo what he then did.
The politicians of Missouri, ha:f conservative
and half copperhead, who have , been throivit
into extravagant expressions of joy, over what
they, claim to be a thorough change in the
PreSidentlal policy, shouting "Bravo fur the
Prtsident,"- in consequence of the change. in
department commanders; and other conceFsions
,
which appear, to have , been made to itieir
terests, may-very - speedily find that they' have
counted without their host. Time .will piove
the result, and may show much sooner than
they anticipate, by most decisive acts in refer
ence to Missouriaffsirs, thatwe, are tritich pair,

party IN Now city, t, create a:division on
the nec(s,sity of illAing by the oi , eration of the

these resorted, to accomplish their purl ose, are
both now attracting the calm scrutiny of every
decent man in the land. The ebullition in New
York is regarded a 3 the last effort of the party
leaders in question to assist the leaders of re
bellion. That ebulition failed cf any serious
cons. - quences to the success of the draft, and we
rejoice that the Administration is determined
not only to enforce the law in New York, but
that tte law will be carried out wherever there
is a citizen coming within its provisions, and
wherever there is a man owing a soldier's duty
to his country. The Administration is acting
wisely in ordering the immediate enforcement
-4 the draft. We have just achieved two great
victories which it-seems should paralyze the
war power of the rebellion. We have beaten
its greatest army and captured its most power
ful stronghold. Upon Lee's army the eastern
half ofthe canfe teracy depended for protec
tion. Upon Vicksburg the western half de.
pervied for safety. After Lee's defeat and
Yickgburg's fall, it might seem that the rebel
lion would come to a speedy end, and without
further effort on the part of the North. We
shall soon know the effect of these losses on the
rebel States;. but we are prepared to hear that
no signs of: submission appear, and that re
doubled bitterness and frenzy rule the Southern
heart.
The rebels have had great losses, heretofore;
and they have met them patiently and stoutly.
Their losses at Forts Henryand Donelson, of
,
Forts Philip and Jackson, and of the Cities of
New Orleans and. Norfolk, were great calami
ties, but they did not destroy their spirit or
purpose. The obstinacy of the rebels has ;been
sufficiently proved by their action in the past.
They have evinced a recuperative power after
mishaps, and given evidence of a fertility of re
source, and of ingenuity in creating the appli
ances of war, for which they had never before
had credit. We see no reason to believe, that
their spirits will now, all at - once, give away,
that their obstinacy will be broken, or their
aptnefs for war will fail. With all the harm
we have just done them, their power is yet
immense. And no cause so desperate as theirs
is likely to be abandoned until the last mo
ment, awl when there is no longer a leader or
an army to stand-in its defence.
Granting that we utterly disable- Gen.' Lee,
and that we drive the rebel arms from the Nis
sissippi River, we must still have the work of
invasion and conquest to prosecute. And this
is harder than the work of expelling from our
soil en invader, or capturing a stronghold to
which we advance with such a line of commu
nication as the Mississippi River opens to our
army. How much harder it is to invade suc
cessfully than to beat back an invader, let two
years' history in Virginia tell—let us recall
events from Ball Run to Chancellorsville. We
have an instructive lesson, also, in the State of
Tennessee. With a railroad and river behin.
it, our army has, for half a year, been held fast
bound in sight of the hills and steeples of . the
City of Nashville: qtn. Rosecrans lay half a
year at Murfreesboro, after a great victory over
the enemy. He .durst not pursue ; because
every mile of advance, penetrating inland into,
the enemy's country, weakened his army, ex
posed him to annoyances and attacks on . flank
and rear, and endangered his communications
with his depots of supplies at Nashville and
Murfreesboro. Such dangers will always beset
an invading army.
We have captured many, points around the
edges Of the confederacy—Norfolk, Suffolk,
Roanoke Island, Newburn, (N. C.,) Port Royal,
San Augustine and Pensacola, (Fla.,)
Ship Island, New Orleans, and at one time,
Galveston, (Texas.) But we have done nothing
but hold' those places. Every attempt to
penetrate inland from them has been baffled.
It is only when we have controlled deep navi
gable waters that our armies haie been able to
invade and hold their own in the rebel States.
Armies as large , as, those that have hitherto
made the attempt to penetrate Virginia must
renew the attempt. Armies greater thairGen.
Rosecrans now leads may be required to capture
Chattanooga, and go into Georgia. Gen. Grant
with all his reinforcements, mly not be able to
protect the Mississippi river, from the depreda
tione of Price on the west, hold Vicksburg and
Jackson, and pursue. Gen. Joe Johnston's new
army to the. interior . of Alabama, with the hope
of getting a stifti•fight out of him.
The. Way the Dratt Mats are Managed.
We have proven,elteithere, that the con-
ductors of the recent riots in certain localities
for the defeat of the conscription, were 'the old
radical D mocratie 'leaders. In order to cor
roborate the:evidence adduced by ourselves, we
submit the following testimony from the Lan
caster Evening Express
TUE aratlital RIOTERS. —We are informed that
Rev. Mr. Swartz, pastor of the German Catholic
Church of this city, administered a severe re
buke yesterday to those Getman men and wo
men who participated in or countenanced the
riotous demonstration at the Court House on
Wednesday last, declaring'that such conduct on'
theiipert made him feel ashamed of being, a
German. On the day of 'the disturbance also,
Mr. Swartz was active' in his efforts to control
the riotous element. "
It now appears that some of thederman Ns'o•
men who unsexed themselves on that occasion
are open in their denunciation of certain cop
perheads who urged them on to the disgraceful
work, promising that "the Demokrats" would
back them at the proper time, but the women
allege that when they were in for the trouble,
the promised reserves backed out and left them
to bear the brunt of, the rioting.as-weßas the
disgrace! It is to be hoped that these victims
of the copperheads will make "a clean breast
of - the matter," and exOese the guilty parties,

stroy Fort Darling by the cockle-shell Galena,
although she was handled with so much skill
and courage by the indomitable Captain John
Rodgers.
The rebel iron-clad at Wilmington, N. C_, is
exciting some apprehensions. It is feared she
may suddenly make a raid upon our block-
Alma fleet, disperse them, and, proceeding to
Beaufort, commit sad haven among our naval
vessels in that harbor. She is pierced for seven
guns, but carries only five, the others causing
her to sink too low in the water. She is a for
midable craft, but altogether unfit for sea ser
vice.
It is remarked as a somewhat significant fact
that no rebel ffig has bten flying over Fort
F sher, below Wilmington, for some time past.
The State flag of North Carolina is the only one
