It may be, That hov'riog round us every day Are form we cannot see ; That sonny eyes look down on as, Kind hands are clasping ours, And lovieg hearts are striving thus To cheer life's weary hours.

The recent debate in the Senate,in which Mr Davis, of Kentucky, and Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire took part, was a most piti able revelation of the impudence of Aboli tion hypocricy. The severe and just stric lures of Mr. Davis upon the course of the Administration in their manner of conduct ing the war, and his assertion that he hon estly believed this war was to be continued until after the Presidential election, was the signal for a great display of very vinuious indignation on the part of Mr. John P. Hale. All that simulated indignation was in the very funny Senator from New Hampshire's best vein ; but no one who has been in the habit of listening to his jokes in the Senate believed for a moment thai he ws in ear nest. "The charnal house" figure was ex celleut, but meant no more than Mr. Ed ward Everett's "fields wet with brother's blood." One can easily have a monopoly of patriotism if the torpedo touch of an in dignant denial of disloyalty to establish it; and Mr. Hale perfectly comprehends this. His idea of "Repudlican Senators being bound by the sancity of their oaths to sus tain the coun try and the Constitution," when tor the last three years they have been endeavoring to destroy the one, and to overthrow the other, is perlectly sublime in its unapproachable impudence, and when he added to it the assertion that the desti nies of this country have been snbmi'.ted to the Republican Senators, we could not but think, from the experience ol the last three years, that it was in very unsafe hands. Uncle Toby had two ideas in his head one of his bowling green, and the other of the widow V adman. Mr. Ha!e has one that slavery is a most horrible evil and the other, that war is one of God's heavei sent agencies to overthrow it ; and so he l wat tles in a most profane way about God's trying the question of free government be fore the world, and asserts his belief that He has entrusied the destinies of the conn try, to the hands of the Republican party. God help the land if they are to work up its destinies. It there is any other man, a!-j ways excepting Mr. Sumner, responsiole j for all the innocent blood that has been i shed, and al! the desolation that has swept over us, it is this very Senator Hale. Dues he suppose that he can biiad the' eyes of his country men to this tact, by these over strained bursts of patriotism ? But the rich est part in 'he play was when he lashed himself into a burst of indignation over the assertion by Mr. Davis "ihat the Republi can party wished to prolong the war lor a political object." We wonder whether the indignant Senator had forgotten Mr. Sew ard's speech at Auburn, when he said : "Abraham Lincoln was elected in I860, to be President not of a part but of the whole of the Union; but he has been forcibly kept out of a part of the United States. There can be no peace and quiet until Abraham Lincoln is President under the next election lor the whole United States.'" We wonder if he supposes that the people are so blind as not to discover the plan re cently developed in Mr. Lincoln's message, of the one-tenth scheme of reconstruction, as a most feasible plan by virtue of the bay onet and cartridge-box, to perpetuate his power. Virtuous, patriotic Senator Hale ! j you may possibly hv deceived yourself in '.be idea (hat you were indignant at such a charge, but the great mass of the people understand too well the plots and counter plots of you and your Aboli'.ion crew, ever to give you credit for s incerity. You may bave deceived Mr. Garret Davis, but you ' cannot deceive the American people. The Difference. The United States under Democratic and under Whig rule was prosperous, her peo ple happy, and every seeming encroach ment of power was sternly rebuked. Ours t was then a nation of laws ; to the Judiciary ( man could torn for that justice which his j fellowman denied him. with a certain assur. i . r , - ance of receiving it. From the eighteenth day of June 1812, when Congress declared war against Great Britain to the end of the year 1814, when that fierce war was ended, t was denounc ed with a bit'eriiess that, up to that time had no parallel, by many of the leaders ol the old Federal party ; yet, although it was a war against the greatest power of the world, no American citizen ever sup posed that be would lose his liberty by such opposition, and the Democratic Administra tion that conducted the war to ils glorious close, never deemed that within the pages of the Constitution, and hid away ia the words, ''Congress shall bave power to de clare war," there existed, or could exist, the right ol the President to turn our forts into bastiles, end, without judge or jnry, without law and without crime, to immure American citizens, as if criminals of the deepest dye. ' The war commenced in May, 1846, ."by the acts of the Republic of Mexico," in shedding American blood on American soil, was denounced wi'.h a bitterness ex ceeding, if possible, that of the war of 1812, as a "God abhorred," a "God-accursed;' and a damnable war, and a leading Senator of his party 60 far forgot himself and his country as to speak aa if be wished the Mexicans to "welcome with bloody bands to hospitable graves" our brave soldiers, who at the nation's call went to avenge the nation's wrongs. "Yet Mr. Corwin, nor The New York Tribune, which paper first,, if memory selves, os, exultingly published his speech, ever supposed that it author and its publisher were equally?iliable to imprisonment in a lortress as a -victimj'to war necessity. Thus in the two foreign wars since the Revolution, we see that the Opposition was violent in denunciation, and in the first of these, at a time when every effort was strained to resist the colossal power of Great Britain, the New England Slates were ready to revolt, and their representa tives sat with closed doors, in convention at Hartford, to mature, it is believed, their treasonable schemes ; yet no "war power" was claimed to punish them ; no American bastiles yawned to receive these men, for no power existed to punish, save after an indictment had been found by a Grand Jnry and atrial and conviction by a jury of their peers. But now, the same Constitution in existence, how different its interpretation. Then statesmen and judges construed its provisions wisely and strictly in letter and spirit ; now when it says one thing, it is deemed and taken to mean its reverse. Thus, in defining the powers of Congress it says that the "privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, un -less when, in cases of rebellion or invasion, the pnblic safety requires it' means that the Presi.lent may suspend it in States where there had been no invasion, or where rebel lion, except years ngo by the Abolitionists agiinst the Fuaiiive Slave Law, never did exist ; that the denial of the right of Con gress to make laws '-abridging the treedom of speech or of the press," means that the! President, without law, can do so with i impunity by his Provost Marshals ; that the I clause which in the other and better days of the republic guarantee 1 that the "right of the people to be secure in thir persons, house, papers and effects against unreason able searches and seizures shall tiot be vio- j lated," tiives to the President, his Secretary of War, or ol State, the power to siez upon any person and imprison him, search his hooe, make a prize of his papers, and de- ! 6troy bis eflfecs. and.'tlte only right Congress has to ii.ierpose is to pass a law exempting such officer fr-m arrest and from damages j lor his lawless and unjustifiable acts. ; How different these things from monar chical England, which ha uo written Con- stitotion to govern her, but whre to her high praiee be it said, man is rever punish ed except for crime, and after a f.iir and impartial trial, and where ail hi.i rights are guarded wi h scruputous care. . i Mr. Seward, once the very embodiment of the "tree speech" party, atid now thn premier member of the Cabinet, in conver sation with Lord Lyons, the Eugli&b Min ister, boasting of the power he ponsessed, said : "My Lord, I can touch a bell on my right hand and order the arrest of a citizen in Ohio. I car. touch the bell again, and order the imprisonment of a citizen in New York; and no power on earth bat that of the Presi dout can release them. Can the Queen of England in her dominions do as much V' Mr. Seward was right in asking the ques tion, "can the Queen of England do as much V Much a she is love J, fuch an imprisonment of her subjects, without law and without crime, would cot her crown, and her advisers their heads. Hiw ' my Lord' must have smiled on bearing this question asked when he remembred it cama from the Secretary of Siate ' for th3 "only free government oc earth." and in his miod's eye contrasted it wiih that noble speech, so eloquent and eo true, of the freedom of an Englishman, said : "The poorest man in his cottage may bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail ; its roof may shake ; the wind may blow through it ; the storm may enter ; the rain may enter ; but the King of England can not enter it. All bis power dares not cross the threshord of that ruined tenement." Yet England is a monarchy, the United States a republic based upon a written Constitution and upon the deep seated af fection of our people. In the monarchy there is freedom and justice, in the repub lic, so far as our rulers are concerned, there is neither. "Ho long, O Cataline, wilt thou abase our patience 1" N. Y. Daily News. Abtemus Ward. I was fixin' myself up to attend the treat war meetin,' when my daughter entered with a young man, who was evidently from the city, and who wore long hair, and had a wild expression in his eye. In one hand he carried a portfolio, and in bis other paw clasped a bur.ch of brushes. My daughter introduced him as Mr. Sweber, the extinguished landscape painter from Philadelphy.

Lines fonud in a railway station in Eng- land, soppostd to have been written by a genUeman there detained. The line to heaven by Christ was made With heavenly truths the rails were laid, From earth to heaven the line extends, To life eternal where it ends. Repentance is the station house, Where peseengers are taken in ; No fee for them is there to pay, For Jesus is himself the way. The Bible is the engineer; It points ihe way to heaven so clear, Through tunnels dark and dreary here, It does the way to glory steer. God's love the fire, his truth the steam, Which drives the engine and the train ; All you who would to glory ride. Must come to Christ in him abide. The first, the second, and third class, Repentance, faith, and holiness, You must the way to glory eain, Or you with Christ can never reign. Come, then, poor sinner, now's the time ; At any station on the line, If you repent and turn from sin, The train will stop and take you in. ' Refined and Christian Hearted" War Dem ocrats. The Journal of Commerce, a few days since, without naming him, drew a picture of the man it would prefer as the candidate for President. "He should be a man of youth and vigor of mind;" ''He should know how to lead armies ;" be "man of re fined Christian heart," etc. From this we should judge that, like Sempronius, our co temporary's "voice is still for war," albeit he wishes it conducted (Heaven save the mark !) on Christian principles ! The World leaves as in no doubt as to its position. It is still "War Democratic." True, it holds that the war is badly con ducted ; hat the war as conducted is for the abolition of slavery, even if it abolishes the Constitution, which it necessarily mutft if sucee?lul ; that the freedom and eleva tion of the negro i the major, while a re united State and a reunited people, bound together as in days of yore, are but minor considerations.. "Peace men'' with it are bat disturbers of the peace, while engage! in efforts to stop the war and on term, honorable alke to both paries, to put a check to a patricidal strife, and again to in augurate an era of good feeling. It is hard to tell which most admire, the Joseph Sur .faceUrn of Ihe Jour nil of Commerce or laa fatherly care with which The World seeks to give advice to the Democrats in Con tress wno prefer Peace to War a prosper ous to a ruined country. Alarmed at the strength of the Peace party in Congress, The World alternately cajoies and threatens; begs and blusters ; yet tbts, as Mr, Lincoln once said, "is all artificial nobody is hurt." Mr. Stactan, whom the World abuses so heartily for his supposed complicity with the frauds ot Hum, and for sending the main witness against him ofT, po-t haste, to the Pacific Coast, ostensibly lor disloyalty in refusing to vote against Mr. VaMandi ham,is, like the World, a War Democrat, and so is the inefficient Secretary of the Na vy, and Air. Lincola's Postmaster General. Mr. Chase, too, prolesses to occupy the same platform. The Peace Democracy have no such men in their ranks. They get no contracts ; their sons are not deco rated with shoulder straps ; their hands are unstained with public plunder, and, better still, in the clear face of Heaven, with hearts laid bare before their God, in the un sullied nobility of their nature, they can swear that this war is not the work of their hands, for they bad neither lot or part in it. The cause of this outbreak on the part of our cotemporary is the resolution introduced into Congress by the Hon. Fernando Wood, looking to a termination of the war. Against the action ofthb majority in laying those resolutions on the table, The World con tends, many "War Democrats" voted. If this be true, it was one good vote given. In this connection it says : "Were it permitted us to believe that the the courtesy which the Peace Democrats have received al the bands of their breth ren is reciprocated by a corresponding feel ing, we would ask them what, even in their own view, they can expect to gain by their present attitude ? Tbey most know that the Democratic party cannot elect a Phreaider.1 on their platform." The Peace party "must know that the Democratic party cannot elect a President on their platform !" Is this true ? We doubt it. It not, upon what platform, can they elect ? Not upon a War platform, for that would be but a change of mlers with out change of measures. The people are tired of the war. They believe with the late Senator Douglas that 'war is disunion,' and that the longer it is continued the wid er and deeper the breach. Many honest men who never voted with the Democracy men, indeed, who are strongly auti-sla-very in their feelings, but who have Been the horrors of war, and felt it who hold their love for the negro as subordinate to their love tor the Union, would gladly vote lor the Democratic nominees upon a Peace platform, while not a single Democrat or conservative Henry Clay Whig in the land but would vote heart aud soul tor the nomi nees standing upon so glorious a platform. To elect a "War Democrat" of the Stanton or the World school, they fear, would be but a change of masters. The Treasury leeches, it is true, would vote such a ticket if convinced it would be successful, but not otherwise. Its aocccsa might make the Government realize the fable of the Fox and the Flies. To drive off the present ; batch of shoddy contractors and Government jobbers who go for the war because it makes them rich, might, if the war policy ot the present Administration is to be continued, in the next, bringa more hungry swarm as yet ungorged, and the frauds and pecula tions of ihe past three years be continued to the shame and mortification of those that elected it, and to the ruin of the conntry. Even if this success was to be consum mated under the lead of the Journal ot Com merce's "roan' of refined and Christian heart," we do not see that it woold much better the mat er. Such a "heart," coming in contact with the Stantons, Blairs, Bum sides and Cameron of the present war alt War Democrats the depravity which surrounds it would soon loose all its' refined Christian" feeling, end thus would a good man be lost to the country by Lis contact with War Democrats. Believing that the salvation of the coun try is in Peace ; that the parly who support it are the Union's true and it's best friends, and that under thai glorious banner we alone can conquer a Peace which will re store our now distracted country to its wont ed prosperity, we will urge its adoption with all the energy which patriotism can give us. A City in. the Cocky Mountains, The resident population of Virginia, Ne vada Territory, on Ihe 1st of July, was es timated at fiiteen thousand, the daily num ber of transient visitors being as many more.

Home is the wish of the soldier, and tended visions mingled with the troub led dreams ol trench and lentedfield, where the palm tree waves its graceful palms, and birds of jewelled lustre flash and flicker among the gorgeous flowers, the exile sit staring on vacancy : and borne oa the wings ol fancy over intervening seas and lands he has swept away home and hears the lark singing above his father's field and 6e his fair-haired brother, with light foot and child hood's glee, chasing the butterfly by his native stream And in his best hours, home his own native home, with his Father above that starry 6ky, will be ihe wish of every Christian mar.. He lookes around him Le finds the world is full of suffering ; he is distressed with its sorrows and vexed with its sins. He looks within him he finds much in his own corruptions to grieve for. In the language of a heart repelled, grieved, vexed, he often turns his eyes upwards, saying, ' I would not live here always. No not for all the gold of ihe world's mines not for all the pearls of the seas not for all the pleasures of her flash ing, frothy cup not for all the crowr.s of her kingdoms would I live here alway s.''

What can we say of this bungling docu ment ? We dare not pas's it oter with in differecce, for by doing so we would ce guilty ol "the treason of silence," about which the President, a few months since, hurled forth his official condemnation. We must therefore give our views of the Mes sage, or our "loyalty" might, be doubted by Mr. Lincoln and the man who taps a bell at Lis right hand and another at his left. "A man should say nothing unless he has something to say," remarked Mr Lincoln at Geltysburg.oh being serenaded by a band on the evening previous to the consecration of the soldiers' cemetery, and really we feel like following the advice, and would prefer to 'Say nothing" concerning this last pro duction from the classic pen of the "West ern jester." As Artemus Ward would say , "for the people who like such kind of messages, this is just the kind of a mes sage such people like." It will be extol led to the skies by the lick-spittles, contractors, pensioned editors and loyal thieves is gen eral, who hover around the "Government" as vultures hover over a carcass. But to disinterested men men of sense, who are not coining money from the blood and tears of the people the reading of this cloudy document will cause them to sigh for their country, and to corse the day that the people in their blindness and folly, called Abraham Lincoln, the incompetent, to the chair of State. J he greater portion ot the IWessage is buviness-Iike in character, but put together in a bungling manner, and was no doubt prepared by the chief clerks of ihe several departments. The Abolition portion of it however, is evidently Lincol n's own, liber ally interspersed with the ideas of Greeley, Fred. Douglas ("American gentleman ol African descent,") Jim Lane, Beecher, j Phillips, and Mrs Lucretia Most. These ' radical Abolition dignitaries, we noticed, i were all at Washing'oo, during the two weeks .he message was being prepared, and, Recording to a correspondent, gave their' counsel and advice in the preparation or the document." Fred Douglas, the negro, has for once, therefore, sent into Congress Us dictation to the representatives of the people. After-performing this duty, Fred retsrned to Poston, and made a speech to a railed audiance of whites and blacks, and in it he complimented the President, and said "he (Lincoln) had received him (Douglas,) with the cordiality and friend- J 1 Bhpr, he wi!1 Prdoa them, (or soma of j them ) if they siop fighang and become his j serfs. ; This Proclamation is nothing more r.or less than a premeditated insult to those to I , ., ,1 , , .u .u .u . whom it is addressed, and the oath the s n . . j- . . , negro in America could or would take even i. . p to save his life One half the people of i the ffet5 ?!at68 WOD!d PUrn ll The Proc lamation , then is worse than nothing, and, in the language of the Journal of Commerce, "sounds very much like the ukase from the chambers of an autocrat, instead of the , voice of an ordinary man, temporarily rep- j reenting the Constitutional Government of ; the United States." The President has yielded to the demands of the radicals of! his party, and the questions of peace and ' Union he makes secondary to the abolition ! of slavery ! The negro, net the Union, is what be is solicitous over. He has taken 1 his stand, he tells us, and the treedom of the . slaves is made paramount to a restoration ! of ihe Union ! The people, therefore, can ! no longer be kept in the dark iu reference t to the objects of the war. By the confession . . t -j i- if -. i .u of the President himself it is a war for the. negro and for nothing else Such being the fact, let the people make up their minds j lhat this war is to go on from year to year j so long as the present par.y has control of ' .K Rn,nsnt.

Not a year ago, Thurlow Weed, the Re publican leader, tittered in the Albany Journal, ihese startling and true words : "The chiel architects of the rebellion, be fore it broke out, were aided in their infer nal designs by the Abolitionists of the North This was too true, for without such aid the South could never have been United against the Union. But for the incendiary recom mendations which rendered the otherwise useful Helper Book a fire brand, North Car olina could not bave been forced out of the Union. And even now the ultra abolition press and speech makers are aggrivaliog the horrors they helped to create, p"tho playing into the hands ot the leaders of the rebellion and keeping down the Union men of the South, and rendering re-union diffi colt if not impossible. If this was true in 1862, how doubly so ia it now ! The two extremes of agitators and faciionists are playing into each other' hands. The Richmond Enquirer and York liib-tne, agreeing in common hatred of the Democracy, play into each other's bands I now as before the rebellion. The Enquirer , publishes insulting articles to inflame and unite the North, and the Tribune utters doc trine which consolidate the Sooth. Those to organs started years ago opon tbis dishonest work. Each inflamed to the utmost the fanaticism of ils followers. Each taught tbern to bale the opposite sec tion. While the Southern Slates were hesi tating or. the brink of secession Greely 1 came out and proclaimed to them that they , . . ; had the same right as the Colonies had in the revolution. He assured them they might securely try the experiment. Thus urged on, they took the fatal plunge. Now the question before the country is, whether the slaveholding States will be al lowed to return. Never, cry the radicals, except upon ihe basis of emancipation and the stimulation of negro rights. All State constitutions must be abolished, as already the Federal Constitution has been brokeo down by the voilence of fanatics. Such men are indeed "the architects of ruin But are we contentedly to sit by and contemplate their work ? Are the great majority of the people the masses who loved the old Union, the conservatives who dread revolution, to set supinely by and see this monstrous work of desolation go on ? , , . . . fanatics, who have no strength but impos- ... . - and no courage but the insolonce of ephemeral power-.mnj, Argu,.

So the devil would Idee to bang every Christian or lover of humanity, and so the murderer or highwaymen would like to put all informers out of the way. Bat sup pose you try it.

It is slated lhat General Scott, in a recen conver sation on the developments of the war, re marked that the fighting bad only commen ced, and that the real hard fighting was yet to take place. He also added lhat the ad ministration had fooled away nearly every golden opportunity, and thus instead of ending the rebellion, as tbey could have done long since, have extended it to the di6Unt fui0re.
