But we cannot, with patience, pursue this I

Wh tiVef may ihe the as reblt Of, the
New ampeddre et - caftan, i'lli very Clear that
the Democrats have gained largely on the pop
ular vote. They have not carried the Legis
lature, on noront of the unfair Gerrymander
ing of the State,by.the.lbolitionhste, but they'
have possibly elected Judge Eastman Gover
nor. or at Worst , only failed by a few hundreds,
while Lincoln's majority was npWarde ofeleien
thousand., The New 'York 'Tribtine thinks; the
full: vote for Governor Vail /not 'rip 31000 for
Gilmore, Abolitionist; 35,000,P0r Eaatnnon,
reiular, Democrat. and 4,500 for Harriman, ir
regular War 'Democrat. Tbii would ' defeat
Eastman by 500 i' but 'the tritune, irate Atio•i
Mien zeal, is qnite as likely to , err in favor of,
its party as against it, and we should not,
therefore, be surprised if the official returns
elected Eastman. , But if the. Tribune's state
ment shoald prove coriect, it will show a pop
ular majority against thokbolitionists of 8,560,
a Democratic gain of about 20,000 since Lin
coln's election. This, in so small a State as
'New Vampshire, and one so thoroughly ' Abo
litionized as it has been for some years' past,
is a tremendous gain—enotigh to satisfy. us
that the delusion which has so deeply cursed
the country is being rapidly dispelled,
that the march of mind, of free ;min
ciples and Constittitional Liberty is onward.
With this, for the present, if this were all; we
could be well satisfied. Bat , this is net all,
The Tribune conceded the , election of Mercy,
Democrat, to Congress, . in the . First District,
while it only claims the elaetion of Rollins and
Patterson, Abolitionists, .in the Second and
Third Districts no probable, "by plose.votes in
each." , While we do ' not gill up the Second
and Third Distric%. in which it may yet turn
•
out that we have elected one' or both of the
,
Democratic candidates—atill, we have
ample
cause to rejoice at . what is conceded to us'
where we had no expectation of carrying any
thing, least: of all a member of Congress,'
against the prodigious power andextraordi-•
nary efforts of the administration, who, in ad-
dition to money, patronage, and paid Orators, :
sent home an Abolition regiment of five hun-;
dzed voters to make the result certain. In '
consideration of all this we have a right to
shout, Victory! and to hail New Hampshire as
another State redeemed from Abolition rule—
another brand snatched from the burning.
Suet the above was written we have re
ceived an Associated Press telegraphic dispatch
which elects the Demociatie Congressman,
Mercy, in the First district by 150 majority, .
Rollins, Abolitionist, in the Second district by
300, and Patterson, Abolitionist, in the Third
district, by MO. The House is said to be
largely Abolition, and nine of the twelve Sena
tors elected of the same complexion. The
Governor's Council, it is said, will probably
stand three Abolitionists to two Democrats.
It puts down the probable vote for Governor
at 32,036 for Eastman, 28,760 for Gilmore, and
4,369.f0r Harriman. We give the dispatch, in
substance, as we reee k e dit_ik_..... 2 -1... lacor•
—....--..;*- - 131Itlf it should prove to be cor
rect it will not in the slightest degree detract
from the victory which we have claimed above,
and which is decided and satisfactory.
Abolition lawleesnes has reached its anima
aide. We breathe freer when we make the
announcement—freer because the anxious in
quiry in the minds of all men who have watched
the progress of the unhallowed schemes of the
last Congress, and the various propositions
afloat in Abolition circles, has been, for the
past year, what next? The inquiry is an
swered. The Evening Post, in its issue of a few
days since, plays the last card, We are bound
to believe, in' the game the Abolitionists intend
to play on southern soil. Giving the credit of
the origin of the idea to no less a person than
John C. Freinont, that, paper explains and
urges at length a plan for the "occupation" of
the South by distributing the subjugated ter
ritory among the Union soldiers to have and
,possess, their heirs and assigns forever. Sec-
rotary Stanton, in his. last report, indicated a
'like policy, substituting negroes for Soldiers in
the distribution of the .conquered domain.
This last method of " restoring the Union"
develoPeS what is but• the legitimate end of
Abolition madness.
We have heard of shrines desecrated, hearth
stones defiled by the ruthless Vandalism of some
of our:military commanders; of whole sections
of country, towns and villages laid waste and
" Blenkerized ;" we have heard of robbery and
rapine openly practiced in southern homes—
homes of the shelterless' and suffering who
have been driven out by the ravages of war ;
we have heard and pitied and deplored, but the
cool, deliberate malignity of such a proposal
as our humane cotemporary offers is by far
more desperately wicked in design than we
might, have supposed could even be permitted
to insult the ear of a Christian nation. Do
these men propose by such means to 4, restore
the Union ?" In forgetting all the traditions
of the past, have we forgotten too our own
Manhood ? Thank God, no such schemes as
these can ever be suffered to succeed—thank
God' the end is not yet
In permitting , their desires to run so far
ahead, of possible accomplishment, in, the hot
haste of• revolution, the Abolitionists have
made their own shrouds and , dug their olra
graves. They may stalk the earth in ghostly
and imagined orgies a brief 'space , longer, un-.
til the voice of the'People bids them down
forever.

Traitors Among Us.—

exemplars of the party they speak for, then
indeed that party is not only the most cot*tfPt
but the most treasonable and dangerous.WV
ever-organized in this or any 'country.
The expression is strong, but
.the truth re
quires strong expresnions. No form of hos
tility to country, constitution, law or liberty
can be named which these men and newspapers
do'not c ounsel and urgaon. their deluded fol
.. ...
lowers. ,And this they do inlanguage designed
to inflame to violence, and sometimes in phrases
that would disgrace the purlieus of. vice and
shame.
The underlying : principle on which they are
now conducting their campaign is this : : That
•
Wis treason to oppose thein, their plans of
wholesale robbery and fraud, their debaseinent
of the country to the vilest purposes of plunder..
They declare that any one who finds fault with
themanner in which priblic affairs are conduc
ted is a traitor. They propose, in moments of
paasion, s to inagurate mob law, and proceed at
once to hang all the loyal .men who dare to
think that " supporting the government" is
not synonymeus with plunging the hand deep
into the, Treasury, and filling. the pockets of
contractors and newspaper editors with gold
coined frqm the people's blood. The leading
newspaper offices in the interest:Of the radical
party are notoriously involved - in government
gun contracts, navy agencies, and other meth
ode of "supporting the government," and the
streets ring with histories of transactions in
which leadiag radical politicians are involved,
in which they have grossly defrauded the ge-v
-ernment, and yet these very men have the au
dacity to pretend , to be members of " Union
Leagues," loyal men, patriotic citizens, and
propose to seize and bang their fellow-citizens
who believe that they are in "league" with the
SoutNern rebellion and hourly aiding it to the
best of their ability.
Is our national character gone 7 Will New
Hampshire, will Connectiaut, by their votes ap
proveof the rule of a party widch is not only;
concerned in'these Vast frauas, theme infamous
robberies, but a party whose 'principles declare
that they will punish as , a .traitni any man who
finds fault with their management ? •
How long must the patienne of the true pa
trio& permit OMB curses of our land, these
radical plunderers of the Treasury, to continue
to hold up their heads among us ? Ras the
new doctrine which they inculcate gained a hold
on the people ? Do we indeed believe that it is
treason in Ame,rica for men to think and talk,
but no treason for men to rob the government
and prey on its very Vitality ? Our ears have
been deafened with' heir loud outcry of treason,
treason, directed against men no one of, whom
they pretend has done a solitary ad of treason.
They shout traitor till breath fails, against
men who have spoken or thought of doctrines
distasteful to them. But they are silent against
their 'allies, their companions,
acatig trees - en from day to day,
and the worst of treason, because insidious,
wily and deadly.
It is a 'prominent plan of radicalism to take
up lists of conservative men who attend public
meetings and abuse them personally, with all
the bitterness of radical mare. The tempta
tion is almost irresistib4 to retort by taking
the lists of radical men ai d publishing against
name after name the frauds and robberies
which are known, to be chargeable against
them. Why, these men are rolling in wealth
extorted from the purse of the nation. They
ride in carriages built from the very sweat of
our boys toiling and perishing in the Rappa
hannock and Mississippi mud. The deck their
wives with diamonds that spring from the tears
of widows and orphans, rubies that are red
with the blood of our young and brave. The
music and dancing in their palaces are fear
fully suggestive of the moans of the dying
the march to the grave on the storm-beaten
banks of some 'distant river—the agony that ,
they; less than the rebel armies, have caused,
and out of which they have made their wealth.
We cculd.tell histories that ought to blanch
-the cheeks of some New York 'radical politi4-
cians,,and send them shivering into dark pia-
ces to hide their shame. Is it treason to tell
them ? Must a man to be loyal consent to
plunder the government, plunder the enemy,
plunder the widow and orphan ? Must he ap
prove of the conduct of Butler afNew Orleans,
of M'Niell in Missouri? Must he rejoice in
the hideous barbarism of negro insurrections
with the New York Tribune gun-eontractore,
or recommend hanging loyal citizens who are
for some reason 'obnoxious to the Evening Poet

. Vortunately, we are not lef t. to, the teaohings

order in the open air. Thrilling speeches Were
made by Gipir. Medary, Colonel Manypenny,
Senator Kenny, Judge Thurman and others.
' The following preamble and resolutions, re.;
ported by Judge Thurman,irom the committee
appointed for that puTpoce, were adopted
unanimously and with loud cheers:
11116AII/ILI.
On the night , of the sth instant a mob of
about one hundred persons, composed of sob ,
diers and citizens disguised as soldiers, armed
with sWords and revolvers, broke into the edi
tor's rooms of the Crisis newspaper and de
stroyed whatever property they could lay their
bands upon, and in varioue woys injured the
building; they afterward repaired to and at
tacked the office Of the Ohio Statesman, and
only desisted upon the police and some citizens
rallying to its defense. They also, as we are
Wormed, threatened the destruction of the
Westbote. They, manifestly, intended to sup
press, by illegal violence, the entire Democra
tic press of this city. These acts were planned
and executed with such secrecy and 'despatch,
that the Crisis rooms were sacked and the • at
tack upon the Statesman office begun before the
existence of the mob was known to any consi
derable number of our law-abiding citizens ;
and thus a defense of the Crisis rooms was pre
vented. That these deeds were instigated by
persons who dared not take an open hand in
their commission, we have good reason to be
lieve; but until we shall have further end ac
curate information upon this point, we forbear
to mention names, lest we should wrong any
one Who may be unjustly suspected. These
outrages are the natural consequence of that
fatal disregard of the Constitution and. the laws
that has marked the course of our adminietra-
Lions, Federal and State, ever since the war,
began, and of the false and flagrant assaults
upon the patriotism, motives and purposes of
the Democratic party, daily indulged in by. the
Republican press and Republican politicians.
When the public authorities, sworn to support
the Constitution; set the example of violating
its most sacred 'pis:Melons ; when citizens
guilty of no mimeo igainst the law'were ille
gally arrested, transported and imprisoned ;
when the writ of Habeas corpus was practically
suppressed; whet' a censorship over speech
and 'the press was assumed and frequently
practiced ; When the terrible doctrine (utterly
destructive of freedom and free institutions)
that the Government, in times like these, may
do whatever it deems necessary, however, in so
doing, it may violate the Constitution, was
boldly proclaimed; when rights of property
guaranteed by the Constitution were openly
invaded and 'sought to be , overthrown by an
executive proclamation; when these and like
examples of disregard of our laws and consti
tutions, of our rights and liberties, were set
by the officers of:government themselves, it is
not singular that rash and unthinking men
should be found ready to follow such examples.
And when, in 'addition to all this, the Republi
can preen and politicians, in yiobitimi viuts,
decency,
_totioy awl mitnettsro, and for tire
..est - und basest partisan purposes, We're
daily charging dile-half, if not more, of the
northern people, iiith treason or sympathy
with treason; - when even Governorssf States,
in public speeches, cast'Such imputations upon
a majority of their own `constituents; when
every artifice that maliceeould invent and in
dustry apply was being fesorted to, in order
to mislead and prejudice the army against the
Democratic party ; when, 'for that purpose,
Democratic newspaperh 'were excluded from
its lines and camps, While . Abolition -newspa
pers were freely admitted; when secret, irre
sponsible, oath-bound and armed societies were
forming to suppress the voice of Democracy
and trample upon the public will ; when all the
machinery to produce a reign of terror was
being-prepared and set in :motion, it is not
wonderful that ignorance, passion and preju
dice should bid defiance to the laws.
We note these things, not to -excite wrath,
but to warn every man who desires to preserve
the peace of society, the liberties and property
of the people, the laws and constitutions of the
land, that it behooves him to set his face
againtit all 'aggressions upon either. • Consti
tutions and law make free government, respect
for them preserves it, disregard of them brings
despOtism or anarchy. The Demo - credo party
has ever been, a nd yet is, slaw - abiding party,
It asks nothin g but its, rights under the Con
stitution and the laws. -It resorts to no viola
'tion of either; it countenances no violation of
either. It has a right.to all the guarantees of
public and private liberty, and of property,
contained in our fundamental laws, and it will
surrender not , one of, them.. It has the right
to' discuss public measures, and will discuss
them. It has the right , to propose and advo
cate that policy which it deems best for the
nation, and it will exercise thilright. It has
a right to have its policy paSftd upon by the
people at peaceable and untrammelled elec
tions, and it will maintain that right. If found
in a minority it yields obedience to all lawful
rule of the majority; if it be the majority itself
it claims that its lawful will be respected.—
Whether in a majority, or minority, it obeys
all laws , that are in force. Those that it dis
likes, it seeks to overthrow, not by violence,
but ,by a legitimate repeal, Those Unit it pro
, poses, it seeks carry, not by force, but by legal
enactment. And what it does in all these're
spects it demands, and has a rightto demand,
that a ll others shall do.. They oive the same
obedience the Constitution ateithe laws di g t,
Democrats, owe. •They have the Mini interest,
to maintain freegovernment,, to protebt liberty, -
to-be`• sebum . in their houses, persons and pro
perty, that' Democrats! have. % It is neither
their interest nor ours that despotism or.an
aechy should' pie Vail ;, and if, they Wish to avert
both, let them see to it in time that theYgive
no occasion for either. We will do our duty,
let them - remember to do theirs.
In view "of the circumstances that have brougt
us together; We hereby rebotve : • •
That the will of the people isthafoundlOon
of alllree governarent. That to give effoot te
this will, free thought, free spiech• and a free
Press are absolutely 'indispensable. Wit3folat
free discussion; there is no certainty of 'sound.
judgment; without sound judgnxent i there can
be no lase government. •
'tht4 it is an inherent and - elaastitutiorial
right of the people to discuss 'alt measures of
`their government, and to approve or disapprove'
es to their best judgment seems right.
,That t
they have a like right to propose and•adiocate
that policy which in their jUdgmerit is best,
and to argue and votetigainst whatever policy
seerns to them to violate the Constitution, to
impair their liberties, or , to be detrimental to
their welfare. '
That these and all other rights, guaranteed
to them by their•constitutions, are their rights
in time of war, its well as in time of-peaces; aid
of far more vaclue arm' neceseity, in war than in
peace. For to peadMiberty, security and pro.
ti211./k.l
i
perry are seldom endangered; in war, they are
ever in peril.
That we now say to all whom it may con
cern, not by way of threat, but calmly 'Ziff
firmly,
firmly, that we will not surrender these rights,
nor submit to their forcible violation. wr will

terrible corruption of Republican officials in
the San Francisco Customhouse and mint,
Secretary Chase has determined to remove all

What is &little singular and somewhat suspi
nions is that in then--- -- aPtwhicakalta - he has

office of superintendent of the mint are highly
lucrative positions.

The Senate has confirmed the nomination of

foolish and disgraceful act. He is more fit to
take charge of 'a . gitillotine than a mission:
The nomination was said to have ,been con
