.Yet-rddy will be long remembered in
the annals id mankind. On yeerday
twenty millions ol human beings, but four
jear ago esteemed the freest population
on earth, met at various' points of assem
blage to the purpose of miktn a lor nal
surrender of their liberties,, not to a great
military conqueror; not to a renowned
statesman ; not to a' fellow-citizen who
has done fie S'.a'.e services that rnnnot be
estimated in wortHly wealth ; not to one
who ha preserved the Slate from foreign
tyranny, or increased its glory and its great
nes at home, not to a Caesar or a ISapo
leon, . the glory of who-e achievements
miiiht be pleaded as an. Bpoloay tor the
abjct submission of the multitude ; but to
a vulgar tyrant, who ha never seen a shot
fired in anger ; who has no more idea of
statesman-hip than as means of making
money whose career has been one of un
limited ar.d unmitigated disaster, whone
personal qi'ali'ie are those ol a low buf
foon, and who? most noteworthy conver
satinn is a medly ol profane jMs and ob
scene anecdotes a creature who has sqnan
dered the lives ot millions without remore
and without even the decency of pretend
ing to feel lor their misfortunes ; who still
cries for blood and for money in the -pursuit
of his a'.rocioh designs To such a
man, yestejjay, the p?oplu of the so-called
United S:ates sarrendereJ their lives, their
liberties, their persons and their parses, to
have and to bold the same tor al least four
years, and for as much longer as he shall
chooso. For it is plain that if he so wills it,
he may hold on for bis namral life, and
transmit the sceptre to hie decendents.
There is nothing in the world to prevent
bim should he feel so disposed, and there
is no reason to think that thus disposed he
wiil not be. It reems strange to ns that he
should have condescended to submit to an
election at all ; and we are, convinced he
would never have done so, had he not been
convinced beforehand that it would result in
his favor. How McClellan conld ever have
been so infatuated as to tburst himself in
his w?y, we are nnable to conceive. The
light punishment he had to expect, was to
be crushed, for he might have fell assured
that even bad be been elected, he would
Dot have been allowed to take his seat.
All the preparations of Lincoln Indicate a
determination - to take possession of the
Government by force his military arrange
ments ; the stationing nf soldiers about the
polls, the arrest of the New York Commis
aiohers ; the prohibition against any tickets
ot his own in the fleet, his jealoos super
vision ol the ?'ing f b armjr all these
indicate a determination lo conquer by the
ballot box" ft possible, but in any event lo
conquer. H w cookJ McClellan expect to
weather such a storm as his adversary bad
it in hi power to raise at any moment ol
the day 1 Even the grand resort of tyranny
in all ages has not been overlooked in this
case. Huge conspiracies are discovered

We are pro?ie to believe that every na
tion enjoys the exact propor ion of free
dom to which it is entitled. If the Yankees
have lost their liberties, therefore, we(binlc
it is felfevident that it is because they
never deserved to bave them. If they are
slaves, it is because thev are fit for the situ
ation. Slaves taey have been tor years to
all the base pasions that are indicative of a
profligale'and degenerate race; and - when
natioas advance to that point, the transi
tion to material bondage costs but a single
step.
Surely, the surrender which the Yankees
madoon yeterday of their liberties to the
Jack Pudding, Abraham Lincoln, is in its
way the most remarkable event of which
history makes mention. Surely the Yankee
nation, :f not the greatest, is, at; least the
most interesting of all existing nations.
THEIR NEW FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
Ft om the Richmond Whiz .
It is now time to wish our Northern
brethren joy which we nnaffectionaiely do
npon- their new form of government. Y
would not snit as ; but as every govern
ment derives it power from the consent ol
the governed, and as they consent to this
one, it is all right. A d-upotism tempered
by epigrams was long the constitution ol
France before the revolution here, in 'tbe
land ol the brave," we see a despotUm
tempered only.by its own little jokes Hoo
sier jnkes, racy with whisky ot the corn.
Lite on this continent is fast; history is
in a hurry to turn out social and political
revolutions, as i it were by machinery and
steam, like Massachusetts boots and shoes.
Otherwise, one might find it hard to be
lieve that within less than tour years the
very pople we used to know as citizens,
with certain rights, laws and franchises, I
I have snnk into a generation of obedient
, subjects., groveling submissively before the
footstool, not ol some high and far descend
ed monarch not even of a conquering
chieftain but of an anointed Hoosier.
The mode in which that Illinois majesty
'manages his election in his own way,"' do- ,
ins what he will wi:h his over. , excites
so-re wonder not wonder at the despotic'
auihority which h- thinks it rigit to exer- ;
cise. but in tfie thin veH of leaalny, the 1
taint souvenir oi pop.nar ivr-rB,K...,, ....... ,
i he m ill deems ,t politic to spread over the
transaction. He may as well make short
j work with that old worn out rubbish, and j
proclaim himself at once emperor by the (
grace of the devil !
- . ...
I at a iitiia hnar that nrmrii ancf f
l MCT CSW ' f
i which they still effect to call an election is
, going forward, rvery province of the em- ;
i pire, epecially it believed to be somewhat
I restive onder the new order of thing, is
j atrongly garrisoned by armed men from
other and more loyal provinces. For ex- ;
ample, Indiana has the privilege of quar
tering some Massachusetts troops, just as
! in ;he Austrian dominions. Venetia is held
down by Croats and Bohemians, while
Hangary is dragooned by Tyrolians and
! Italians. Now in the late "election" as it
i was called for officers of that "Sta'.e," as
j the district is still termed, we learn from
the candid letter of a worthy Massachusetts,
trooper that the chief function of himself
and his comrades there was to vote and '
vote again tor Governor Morton, as if ihey
f !.!. Pl;,,tv
there is no need that the emporer should
permit this voting-he might a. well have
nominated his perfect Morton in Washing.
ton, and sent some Massachusetts regiment 1
to indoct him into his office.
The same system ot popular election is '
were iircii. ui ...uia.ia. .n,
now universally established and in good ;
"Working order all over ihe North country,;
wherever disaffected subjects are known to
lurk and plot. But there is also a very j
large number of men of voting age in the:
army and navy. We have already seen,
how military officers bave been arrested
and cashiered for presuming to procure for
Soldiers in their command what are called
"copperhead tickets" that is, the docu
ments prescribed to be filled op by soldiers
in camp, to proxies at home, authorizing
those proxies lo vote tor them. The o fraud- j
ing officers had given out some of these
documents filled op with the name of Gen.
McClellan. Soldiers are to be supplied by
their officers only with lhe loyal tickei ; and
those who do not wish to vole for their
sovereign may find tickets how best they
can, or not vote all. As for the navy, we
bave some details of the workings of this
election among the forty thousand seamen
and marines, republished in yesterday's
Examiner from the New York Herald. Na
val officers come on board -a ship ; muster
all hands; inform them "that if they want
to vote lor the present Administration, they
may vote ; but il they wish to vote against
it they could not be allowed the privilege."
That was in the squadron at Beaufort. On
board the Minnesota, again at Hampton
Roads ; "All the kailors on board who hail
ed from New York and desired to vote were
ordered to lay aft on the quarter deck,"
whereupon the commodore addressed them:
"All those that wish to vote for the Union

that the sovereign should still submit to j
such pretenses of popular election, bul ;
probably he does it by way of a little jnke j
and it is not a bad ooe. Ai the end of his j

Conscription.
When the war commenced, the people
rushed forward for the defence and restora-
e iremem, of ,he Gorn
ment. Nor did the effervescence soon suo-
side It was not checked till the war cry
of the '-Negro"was substituted for that of
the Union ;" and then the zeal for volun
teering began to flag The Administration,
to obtain men :o fill the depleted ranks in
the field, found itself compelled to adopt
the double system of bribery and coercion ;
of temptation, in the shape of erjormoos
bonnties, and of force, in the form of an
unconstitutional conscription. From the
i before the people ot this countrj dralt,
! debt, and starvation if the presen: dynas
ty continue to hold power.
Conscription was called by Bonaparte,
as we learn from Thibaudeau, "the dread
and desolation of families." Even in the
country where it originated, and under the
vigorous enforcement ot it by N apoleon, it
oraa nnt it mio(sa. It was rnnrpnlinr. nf

panson ot those demanded by the vast
military spirit of Mr. Lincoln, it was less
oppressive on families and" less injurious to
the productive interests ihan our miscella
neous and gigantic system. But-there it
was not effective in keeping large armies
afoot.
In the latter part of 1313,350 000 con-
I scripts in addition to the troops in service
were placed at the drsposal ol the emperor,
and about the same time 180,000 were tak
en from the national guards for the defence
of towns and fortifications ; nd yet in a
lew months after, he had harJIy 150.000
regular troops to oppose the allies. Such
was French experience. We -are learning
something about the system, and it is to be
hoped we may profit by our lessons.
Let the legitimate object of the war be
resumed, and the draft will not be needed ;
volunteers will again flock to tne stars and
stripes.
A Washington letter to New York says,
among other things :
'It is understood here that the report of
the Secretary of war to Congress will em
brace the substance of a very important
communication opon the subject of the
conscription act, which has been addressed
al services ot every man, no matter what
hia BQoa he ig dfahed h
foand that the last rati tor five hundred
thousand men has probably not added lo
our armies more than one hundred thou-
eaQ(1 j, he remembered that the
and the fifty-day notice, so that hereafter '
the men drawn will be promptly pot into
ihe ranks. Three hundred thousand more
men will be needed lor the prosecution of
lhe campaign, if il is deemed advisable to
keep op our armies lo their present stand
ard. It is lound that as our army is pushed
into the Soathren territory a greater number
of men are needed to cover the enormous
extent of our lines. Hence it is almost
certain thut a peremptory draft for three
hundred thousand men will be made as
early as the first of January."

A Desert. What a solemn stillness
reigns on these vast arid Asiatic plains,
deserted alike by man, beast and bird !
Men speak of the solitude of dense for
ests ; I bave ridden through their dark
snades for days together, but there was the
sighing ol the breeze, lhe rustling of leaves,
the creaking of the branches; sometimes
the crash of one ol these giants ol the for
est which on lading woke up many an echo
causing the wild animals to growl and the
frightened birds to utter shrieks of alarm.
This was not solitude ; the leaves and the
branches found tongues, and sent forth
voices ; bul on these dreary deserts no
sound was heard to break the deathlike si
lence which bangs perpetually over the
blighted region. ' "
arming the Slaves.
There is no longer any room to doubt
that the Southren people are about to liber
ate and arm their able-bodied slaves. The
Richmond Enquirer, Jeff. Davis' organ, rec
ommends this course, and it is approved by
six rebel Governors, who lately met in

Abolitionists surely cannot deny that ne
groes will fight, and the rebels are begin
ning to agree with ibem. But will they
fizht for their masters? History proves
that slaves have always dona so, even
without being liberateJ ; bnl if freed and
rewarded with land, as the rebel propose,
they will undoubtedly defend the soil of
their nativity ana homes. The mastering
of slaves into the rebel armies will not only
dispel another Abolition delusion, bet ex
pose the folly of employing negroes on our
side, when the rebels have at least five
times the number at their command.
But will the rebel masters consent to
sacrifice so much property? Ot coure
they will, for under Lincoln's manifesto
"to whom it may concern," they are bound
to lose their slaves if they return to the
Union, and under the policy of the Aboli
tion Congress the remainder of their prop
erty will be confiscated. Il is I heir interest
to sacrifice part of their property to save
the rest, and as their passions suggest the
same course, they will doubtless adopt it.
But il the slaves are taken . into the ar
mies, who will till the soil ? Any one who
has travelled two miles over Pennsylvania

Copperhcad and Addkrs. The Lincoln
abolition party and the Loyal Leagners de
light in giving the name of "Copperhead"
to all who differ from them, and to all who
do not bow down before their 6hrioe of Lin
coin and the negro, to all who are opposed io
tyranny and who are lovers of the Consti
tution and the Union ; in fine to all who are
truly for liberty. (Hence the term from
the head of liberty on the old copper cent.)
Now what has this telf-called loyal and
patriotic party done for our country ? Let
us see.

The story of the princess is perhaps the
most toocning romance of the nineteenth
century. ; As a chili she had been stolen
from the gardens of the very chateau she
now inhabits. A cateless nurse, bent on
her own enjoyment, had suffered her mas
ter's child to stray toward the river, and
when, in answer to the frantic appeals and
the search made io every direction, no sigo
of the infatit's presence could be discovered,
it was concloded that she had (alien into lhe'
river and got drowned. The despair of the
mother was beyond description, bot the
idea of the child's death, accepted by a:l
besides, was rejected by her. The river
bad been dragged, no trace of the corpse
had been found, and so, after a few yers'
time, when the death of the prince, her
husband, had released her from the obliga
tion lo remaiu in the chateau, she gave up
the domain into the hands cf ber brother-in-law.

age all over the continent, fully convinced
that she would find, one day or otbef, tne
object of her search. The sums of money'
spent in the pursuit, the time, the toil, the
a.ixiety, absorbed upon every high-road,
need not be described. During the embas

with the ctmost kindness and sympathy.
Soon afterwards she went ouce more to
the South, still bent on finding ber lost
child. Oae day the carriage climbing slow

borhod of Iosanne, she was accos ed by a
beggar woman, holding by the hand, a
poor blind girl, tor whom she was implor
ing alms. The girl looked gentle and sweet
tempered, resembling in no way the harsh
vixen whom she called mother. .The in
mate ol the carriage had tallen into a doze,
and the woman bade the girl sing, to arroe
the lady. The song was a vulgar ditty, be
longing to the district, with no romance to
insure attention, and yet it woke the lady
from her trance; something in her voice
reminded her ot a sister lost many years
before, and she stopped the postillion white

The day and hour were come at last: ev
ery word uttered by the maiden confirmed
the suspicion of identity. Memory was
contused it had vanished with her sight
but by dints of threats and promiies the
woman was made to confess that she bad
purcha-ed the girl, when quite ati infant,
from a beggar woman, like herself, who
owned to having deprived ber ot sight in
order to excite compassion. The locality
whence the child had been taken, was pioof
