The outrages dono to American liberty
In tbo'porson of Vallaudigharo and othora
cost tbo Republican party a split, and tho
total and final loss of tho Fremont wing,
or tho radical Democracy, who do not bo
lievo in tho slavory of whito men by of-'fjcc-holding
tyrants. Tlio remaining fac
tion of tho Republican party, tho office
holders and contractors, cling to Lincoln
alill, tho author and rcsponsiSlo cauio of
all theso crimos and of tbo imbocilo and
corrupt mismanagement of tho war. The
cost of that political blunder will be the
'disintegration of tho Linooln prty, tho
'division of the honest from tho dishonest,
and the election of a good Democrat.
What is a Democrat ? A Democrat
is one who-believes in tho sacred and in
ulienablo right of sovereign Stales to rulo
themselves ; who holds to tho doctrino that
.governments dcrivo their just powers from
'the consent of tho governed : who gloried
In the Union becauso its authority was
based only on tho free consent of spvereign
and coequal sister States ; and who hopes
for universal happiness throughout the
World, becauso he saw and folt tbo possi
Mity of government established by con
sent, and resting not on force, but on tbo
unconstrained affection of tho pcoplo.
The Draft. It is a singular fact that
a large majority of the men lately drafted
in the various districts arc industrious me
chanics and laborors who cannot woll be
f pared; whiloraany in easy circumstances,
and many persons entirely idlo or in occu
pations of littlo or no importmco, escapo
entirely. We do not reflect in the least on
the modo of drawing, but merely express
a regret that men who aro so much needed
at home should bo compelled to go to war.
Tho demand for laborers and mochanics is
growing groater every day, and if many
more bo taken away tho country will cease
to bo a producing nation and tho people
will become nob only non-produoars, but
burdensome consumers. Tho farm and the
workshop will bo in a raeasuro vacated,
and as a conscquenco, prices will go up to
an alarming extent. What will becomo of
country thus drained of tho producing
classes remains yet to bo seen.
European Interference.
Tho eloventh resolution of tho Abolition
Convention is as follows i
Resolved, That wo approve tbo position
takon by tho Government that the peoplo
of tho United States can never regard with
indifference tbo attempt of any Eiiropoan
power to overthrow by forco or to supplant
by fraud the institutions of any republican
government on tho Westorn Continent,and
that they will view with extreme jealousy,
as menacing to tho poaco and independ
ence of this our country, tho efforts of any
suoh power to obtain new footholds for
raonarohial governments sustained by a
foreign military force in near proximity to
tho United Statos.
Bravo ! Now what is 'tho position ta
ken by tho Government" that is thus ap
proved ? A few weeks ago tho IIouso pass

A forco of Confederates, north of tbo
Aappomattox, advanced from tho Rich

Port Walthall to Dutoh Gap on tho James.
This line is from three to six miles cast
of the railroad and fully protects it, But

negroes had been withdrawn to attack
Petersburg, and ho rotired beforo tho ad

but skirmishing and digging. Both ar

Sunday morning tho armies maintained

Butler to advanco to tho Richmond Rail,
road was frustrated. Had bo succeeded,
however, it would havo been of littlo ad
vantage all of Leo's army was at Peters

another diteot attaok upon Petersburg.

On Friday afternoon, a general assault
waa ordorod along tho entire Federal lino.
Warren, Burnsido and Hanoook advanced
to tho attack of tho enemy's works. The
conflict was sovcro and bloody. Tbo works
wero found too strong for capture, After
fruitless strugglos, tho columns woro with
drawn. At dusk tho Confederates began
a heavy cannonado, and as soon as it was
oomplotoly dark thoy mado an attaok up
on Burncido'a position. After a short con
flict thoy captured a portion of a Michigan
regiment, and forecd ilumsido to rctiro

to Grant, and ho mot with sovoro lossos.
Just boforo daybreak on Saturday, tho
