WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WAR. The minds of the people must necessa rily revert to the question of who is re sponsible for the war? While a confla gration is raging the people whose prop erty is in danger have no tim3 to discuss the causes of it; but if they see the incen diary, while pretending to subdue the flames, actually feeding them, they will naturally turn aside to pay some attention to him. This illustrates the attitude of the people of the United States, regarding the Southern rebellion. They see the Administration and its leaders—the aboli tionists—laboring, not to save the Union, tobut effect negro emancipation; and in order to render their villainous schemes successful they have thrown every possible obstacle in the way of a speedy peace.— They have, since the commencement of hostilities, fed the flames of rebellion, until they burned out nearly the whole of the Union sentiment of the South. Their confiscation and emancipation schemes did us greater damage than the declama tion of Southern fire•eaters; and even now, when the cry for a re union -comes up to us from every quarter of the Southern States, we see our President Bending a let ter to an Abolition Convention, informing the Union men of the South of his deter• mination to adhere to his radical policy, which, necessarily, must prolong hostili ties, and which we believe to be the Abo litionist's intention. Who is responsible for the war, therefore, is an important inquiry; if thENtruggle is to be continued indeffinitely, until negro emancipation is consummated, we might as well take a rest, and consider the cause of our calam• ity. The people are seriously reflecting upon this subject. and reflection necessa• rily convicts the Abolitionists of being the authors of the country's ruin. To divert the attention of the people from the consideration of the "bloody and brutal" teachings of the Abolitionists, that pois onous organization is dilligently laboring; and, in order to show our readers how desperate is the cause they advocate, we select the following extracts from the Pittsburgh Gazette: • Was it the Abolitionists, who, without au thority in the Conssitutipn for the act. purchased the territory of , Louisiana, which secured to slavery the States of Louisiana, Arkansas, and at an expense to the nation of $15,- 0)0,000? ii as it the Abolitionist who 'nought Florida for the_ purpose of extending slavery. at a cost of $7,000 (.00. and afterwards plunged the country into a war with the Indians, which e, st us W.- OW.OOO, and thousand, of lives, because the hem tholes would not deli" er up fugitive slaves? Was it the Abolitionists who tricked Texas into the Union ; assumed her rebellion war debt of $10,000,000; and by agreeing to tub-divide her - vast area into five slave states, violated that clause of the Constitution, which provides that "no new States shall he formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state . 4 4 - without the consent of the legislatures of the krates concerned, aswell as of the Congress ?, ' was it the Abolitionists who meanly picked quarrel with the weak neighboring Republic of Mexico, which cost ns tens of thousands of lives. and hundreds of millions of dollarA, that the pretext mihgt be used for stealing California for slavery, because it lay south of sti degrees 30 minutes? The reader will perceive, in these ex tracts, that the complaints of the Aboli tionists go back to the purchase of Louis iana by Mr. Jefferson; but their agitation against the Union, because of slavery in the South, did not assume any threatening aspect until twenty years atter, upon the application of Missouri for admission into the Union. According to the complaints of the Gazette, the Abolitionists of the present day would not,' had they been in power, have ,piirchased Louisiana, but would have her remain the mistress of the Gulf and proprietor of the month of the Mississippi, a dependency of the French empire. So with Florida; it would have remained a dependency, upon our south• ern coast, under the dominion of Spain.— Texas would have been permitted to sell out to France or England, and this would aye prevented war with Mexico, and so it would have prevented us from securing California with her boundless deposits of gold,bringirig to us also nearly a thousand miles of the Pacific coast. It is unnecessary to pursue this subject further; the thoughts to which we have given expression will enable the reader to appreciate what Democratic policy has done to make this country great, and what Abolitionism would not have done had they been in power. As regards the slavery question the reader must remember tha,t these vast annexations and purchases did not make a single inch of slave terri tory, nor did they create a single slave.— Oar Government took them as they found them, because their purchase or annexa tion were absolutely necessary for our protection, and not because slavery ex isted within their borders. Had Aboli• tion instead of Democratic policy pre vailed in our Government since the days of Jefferson, the reader will see the sort of a country we would now have. STATE COURTS AND THE HAB EAS CORPUS. The precise point in the decision oi Judge Lowrie in the habeas corpus case published In yesterday's Post ia, that the State Courts have concurrent jurisdiction by habeas corpus with the Federal Courts, in all cases of imprisonment, by any one under claim of Federal authority, not ill dicial. This doctrine asserted and acted upon throughout the country, and espe cially in Pennsylvania, ever since the for motion of the Federal Union, as the Chief Justice clearly proves, has lately been de nied, and the claim made on the contrary, that the detention by any Federal officer, ipso facto ousts the jurisdiction of the State Courts. And State Judges have been found here and there, perhaps after care ful search, ready to decide against the an• cii.nt and uniform understanding of the law. on the ground, generally, it would scent, cf some supposed overruling exi gency not heretofore conceived of. 'Tis true the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Ableman vs. Booth, 21 Howard's Report, (page 508,) is quoted as authority to sus tain the views of those who would perma nently limit the great privilege of the writ of liberty. But that can decide only,.that a prisoner cannot be taken out of the cue tody of the judijial department of the Federal Government, by means of a ha') eas corpus fr Dm a State Court. A world wide distinction between that and the (Inc trine contended for, as above stated. In the absence of authority to sustain the novel doctrine, the most 2omplete and original of arguments in its favor, is that refferred to by the Chief Justice, as pre scribed by one of the .ledges of the Su preme Court of Michigan (Judge Chris tiancv,) who in Spangler's case, solemnly proceeded to adjudicate in substance, that as the defendant, the Federal officer, acted in good faith, therefore, the State Court had no power to try the case, and should refer the complainant to the Feder al Courts; in other words, because the case on its merits should be decided in favor of the defendant, therefore, the Court cannot decide it at all. But the whole subject is clearly and ably discussed by Judge Lowrie, and his opinion is an unanswerable argument, conclusive as to the power of the State Courts to protect the liberty of the citizen from arbitrary encroachments. It settles that question, and stops at once the cur rent, sought to be made in a contrary di rection. This opinion will stamp its au thor as a Jurist of great research, and sound judgement, and as a patriot who can be safely trusted in the most trying perils of the people. A. F. John CONFIDENCE REPOSED AND RETURNED. How can our administration or a party expect to have or retain the confidence of the people, when it reposes no trust in them ? And what is meant by the sup pression of newspapers; and the restraints in freedom of speech, except that the people are not to be trusted with seeking their own means of obtaining information about the acts of public men, or in ex pressing opinions which have not been de tailed by those in power ? And how can those in power expect the hearty support of the people, when they show by nu merous acts that they have no confidence in the people ? We have before us a beautiful illustra tion of the power of this kind of trust, presented in the history of Hungary in the year 1442. Amurath, 2d. Emperor of Turkey, laid siege to Belgrade, and in order to hasten hia operations, he sent letters attached to arrows into the city, inviting the soldiers to betray it, and offering them very large rewards. This (act being communicated to John De Vran, the commander of the garrison, he addressed his soldiers thus : "If I were speaking to mere hireling soldiers, I would say to them that the promises of which the Sultan is so prodi gal are not more sacred than the treaties which he has notified ; and that death or slavery will be the reward of the perfidy, to which he invites you. But I am ad dressing heroes, defenders of Hungary, and I know that there is not one among you who would sacrifice his duty to the certain hope of the largest fortune. I shall not, therefore, hinder the Turks from spreading among you these shameful writings; which prove their feebleness ; and permit you to receive and read them, I am sure that, with such men as you, they are not dangerous." This confidence was not misplaced, and the soldiers foand themselves worthy of it. Because they were trusted they were more faithful and energetic, and snccessfully repelled all the assaults of the enemy. And so it always is. He who trusts the people, has at least one essential element of a leader. He who has no trust is un fit to command. ECESI-ITY, IHE P,,EA. OF TY RANTS The present administration has carried its doctrine of State Necessity so far atid. insists upon it so pertinaciously, that we cannot too often call the attention of the public to the dangers which helongto it, and to its unconstitutionality, when not regulated by law. That we may do it now with some efficiency, we call to our aid the great name of Lord Chief Justice Mansfield. In 176t3, there was in Eng land so great a scarcity of provisions that the British monarchy, without any au thority of law, laid an embargo upon all exportation of grain. Of course, they and all who aided them in enforcing the em bargo, were liable to be sued by all those whose rights were violated thereby ; and to save them from this, an act of indem• nity was proposed. Two of the ministers, Lords Chatham and Camden, opposed the act, and insisted that they were justified by the necessity, and that the prerogative was sufficient for such an occasion—it being but a forty days tyranny. Lord Mansfield replied : "The law of England knows no power of suspension in the prerogative. It the plea of necessity be once admitted, and the crown allowed to be the sole judge of that necessity, the power of the crown would be unlimited ; for there is no case to which it might not be made to extend and discretion would quickly degenerate into despotism. For this reason, the wisdom of the Legisla ture has deprived the crown of all discre tionary power over positive laws. Though parliaments are not immortal, their acts never sleep ; they are not to be wasted by flying into a sanctuary —no, not even that of necessity. The law is above the king, and he, as well as the subject, is as much bound by it during the recess as during the session of Parliament ; be• cause no period of time or emergent cir cumstance can alter the constitution, or create a right not antecedently inherent. Those only draw forth into action the power which before existed, but was qui escent. It the crown has a legal right to suspend or violate one law, it must have the same right to violate another; and another, till the whole system of our ju risprudence is overturned. A just regard to the safety of the sovereign, and to the liberty of the subject, renders it necessary for us to shut every avenue to tyranny, that. as it has hitherto been, so it may continue to be, the distinguishing charac• ter of our kings, that their authority is the authority of the laws, and that they reign over freemen, and not over slaves." We need add nothing to this advocacy of liberty under the guaranty of law ; and we are sure that our readers will know how to apply i!. ANTIETAM AND M'CLEL LAN'S REPORT. The Tribune informs us, apparently by authority, that the "publication of Gen eral McClellan's report is not to be thought of at "this time."• We presume the reason of this to be that since the President, alter reading the report, has made up his mind that Antietam was a great victory, Mr. Stanton fears the gen eral public might be led to the same con• elusion. So far as the repot t itself is concerned, a few months or years more cr less delay in publishing it is a slight mat ter. It belongs to history, and will be read by the eager eyes of millions when Mr. Stanton is remembered only as one of many marplots in the great national drama in which the victor of Antietam will fill his leading part, 13nt the soldiers who fought in that stricken field, and the living millions for whom they fought, have some rights in the premises. and since they long ago came to the'verdict which President Lin oln has somewhat tardily indorsed, the War Department will really gain nothing by depriving them of those rights—World .4. , -.Z THE Gazette calls our candidate for the Supreme Bench a renegade whig, who crept into our party a few years ago. This if true, would be no objection to him ; there is no difference now between whigs and Democrats. in relation to the issues which convulse the nation. The whig party with Clay and Webster at its head, was a national and patriotic organ ization, not a miserable, canting and snuffling set of rogues and hypocrites and as now control the Abolition party. The old Whig party never sought power by de nonncing the constitution, nor did its ac session to power bring with it a dissoln• tion of the Union and a bloody rebellion. To have been a member of such a party was no disgrace ; but to have abandoned its teachings for those of disunion Aboli- ionism is a sin never to be forgiven in hia world and probably not in the next. Guerrilla Warfare Guerrilla warfare in Western Tennessee is getting into great disfavor, and it is not uncommon now for the residents to arm themselves and assist to put a check .to these common marauders. This is nat ural, and proves that when once the arm ies of the rebels are defeated so that their cohesion is impossible, the war will speed ily come to an end, no matter what threats are made about continuing it for years under the guerrilla system. Such a sys tem cannot exist except as it is sustained and supported by large armies in the field from Which they are the irregular off shoots, and upon which they always fall back for protection when the country in which they are depredating is once arous ed against them. Guerrillaism receives no favor from those it robs, and Southern g uerrillas are very apt to rob wherever they get an opportunity, considering all persons fair plunder who reside in territo ry under the control of Union armies.— Guerrilla work was well enough in West ern Tennessee when Bragg's army helc Nashville. But now that Bragg is driver down to Georgia .? the guerrillas are jus; as ready to rob lennesseeans as they ars to plunder Kentuckians. It takes very little experience of this system to make everybody its enemies who wish to enjcf in security the benefits of their industr), and the farmers and planters of Tennes see are as anxious now to get rid of tie nuisance as they ever could have been to enconrage it under the belief that it WIS an efficient auxiliary of an army, anda serviceable substitute when the army could no longer be kept in the field. • THE estimates of value of the husbands killed during the recent riots in New Ycrk, vary greatly, ranging from ten thousand to as low as two thousand dollars. Tho Speech of Gov. Seymour at Govenor Seymour is on a brief visit to Iliatome N. Y. hi . responge to the popular desire, he appeared and made a brief address, which is- briefly sketched in-the Observer: The Governor said that he returned to his home when those before him were affected by a question of deep interest to therm all, he alluded to the conscription act. He should not mar the occasion by saying anything to wound any present who differed from him in political opinion. He counselled that however much they might differ as to the propriety or justice of enactments, they should never allow their prejudices or passions to carry them beyond the point where they would be obedient to the laws. They must remem. ber that when law was violated, their best interests was violated. Law protects us always, it is that which gives us secur ity in sleep, at all times, and in all places and we should always manifest respect for it. If the concription bears harshly on the people, let us alleviate the hardships trust upon them, not by violence, but by kind acts and mutual aid. Expressing his gratification that supervisors in Oneida county were about meeting to consider the subject of aiding those of whom the draft falls heavily, he said he was quite sure that whatever might be men's differ erences about the concription law they would all unite in such benificent measures as would save those from suffering who could illy bear the burden laid upon them The laws and constitution are ample to right all wrongs, and there is no remedy for injustice in acts of disorder: Disorder and revolution secure no rights but create new wrongs. Ile alluded to this subject because party passions ran higher than be fore, and we are in danger of losing faith in our instiutions. We must look to the judiciary and to the ballot box, and soon all will be well. The clouds over our country are dark: sufferings press heavily upon us, many have dark forebodings as they look about them and begin to study the • future; but the Governor said it was not so with him. [Applause] fie had thought painfully and carefully upon the perils of the country, and been aided by correspondence from all parts of the country, and he was'now cofident that we should be once mo r ea united and happy people, with a restored Union with the rights of States respected, and in a little time American homes would be again saved from invasion and outrage. Arming the Slaves outside of military and social ecnaider ations, says a correspondent the import. ante of which can not be fully estimated now, one of the motives which urged the adoption of this measure is, I understand, the etfect it is likely to have upon Euro pean powers. While the discussion ul ou the measure was going on, a member of the Cabinet removed all the objections raised, by stating that the enlistment of tie blacks in the Confederate ranks, and the gilt of their freedom and a portion of land as their reward for their services, would cause the great majority of the Eu ropean people adverse to slavery to be come friends of the fiouth, and ft-a-aa their Government to interest themselves in its behalf. It would at the same time show that the black, who had been represented al the enemy of his master, iu reality his friend : and the greatest mark of this friendship was to be found in the confi dance the white man has in the obedience and fidelity of the black, who by this call, was suddenly elevated to a position of trust and confidence unparalleled in the history of the world. All these consider ations could not fail, it was said, to engage the P ttention of the European public and to place the Southern Confederacy upcn 'higher political and moral ground. It was these remarks, I am told, which destroyed all opposition; and led to the unanimous adoption of the measure. The proceedings I have just related have been kept secret, and will not be divulged until Jeff. Davis' proclamation, submit• ting the whole matter to the people, is issued.

On Friday a scouting party of the 6th Ohio, while returning to our lines were ambnscsded, and some thirty killed, wounded and cap tured. Major Prior commanding the de- tatchment, was slightly wounded, but es caped capture. Yesterday owing to the carelessness of a vidette, who left his position the enemy made a rush on our line, and wounded and captured five men, twenty horses and three mules. Lieut.

On Friday a deserter from Battery 1, 48th New York Artillei y, audaciously dis guised in a Lieutenant Colonels uniform, stole two horses, mounted a companion villian on one as his orderly and rode through oar infantry picket lines, where he turned guerrilla, and robbed on a big scale. He was captured. Miss. B. Jones, a female spy, with fine attractions, fluent speaker and bold de meanor, who has frequently been within our lines, was arrested yesterday with the memoranda oe strength and position of our forces on her person. A World despatch, dated Washington the 9th, says Burnsides special dispatches are of much length, detailing his advance and occupation of Knoxville, and are so interwoven with information of his con- templated movements as to render them improper for publication. The East Ten nessee Valley is cleared of rebels down to within a short distance of Chattanooga. It is expected ere this that our cavalry has destroyed the tresslework on the Virginia and East Tennessee Railroad. where it spans rivers and valleys in that mountain one region A Tribune Washington despatch says : —Capt Sharrar with a portion of the Ist Indiana cavalry, Gen. Howard's body guard, made a reconnoissance to Aldie and vicinity, near Cold Spring Gap. He encountered a body of Mosby's men, and had a skirmish. He drove them off and brought four in as prisoners. The guer. riles has received new uniforms. These prisoners say this band was mustered into the rebel service on June 12 Lb, Part of the band is known to belong to different cavalry regiments, but the mejority are citizens. They report Mosby wounded in the thigh and hip, but not mortally. He is at Culpepper, and will probably be fit for duty in about six weeks. NEW YORK, September B.—The Times' ' Morris Island letter states that the enemy has been lately reinforced with two thous• and troops from Gen. Lee's army. They are encamped on Sullivan's Island. It is impossible to hold out to the public at this time any brilliant prospects of immediate active operations. The season is getting very inclement, thus rendering it a matter of doubt if Admiral Dahlgren can suc ceed in his devices. Another important point to be taken into consideration is the opinion of the Admiral that Sumter is no yet silenced. In that particular the belie of General Gilmore differs widely from that of the Admiral. The former claim• ing to have completely silenced the fort eight days ago, basing his assumption on statements made and corroborated by rebel prisoners and deserters. As Fort Sumter has a most important connection with the operations of the fleet, the Admiral does not like to venture an attack until the fact of Sumter being ren dered useless is established beyond a doubt. His chief pilot and others, who have been at a favorable distance to observe, assert that the northwest wall of Sumter is as sound as ever, and that six guns are mounted on the parapet, one or more of which fired rounds of shell last Saturday. Now then, if Sumter is not silenced, we must wait until it is, that is the first step acknowledged by competent authority to be taken. We hope for the best. ST. Louis, September B.—A special dispatch to the Democrat, from Leaven worth, dated the 7th, states that the ex citement which has prevailed in Kansas, since the Lawrence massacre, has subsid ed, and in its place has come a determin ation, terribly in earnest, to avenge that fearful act. There seems to be no con fidence in nor respect for General Scho field. A few days ago Lane and C. A. Wilder sent a tetegvem - te-tiuk_P4.esident, saying the incapacity of Schofield was deplor able, and that unless there was an im mediate change of commanders there would be danger of conflict between the people andthe military. The President's reply did not indicate his policy. Gen. &hofield's Order No. 92, hap only intensified popular feeling. The meeting atPaola to-morrow will probably be the largest ever held in the State.— Parties aregoing in wagons with arms and rations fron all parts of the State. They will not gc into Missouri if the; military show any deposition to drive the rebels from the nitrated districts. Quantrelhnd Onsribar are about thirty miles from :ansas City with a largely in creased face. The $200,000 in cash taken out a Lawrence has given him glory and remits, and his numbers have swollen fret two hundred to twelve hun dred. In Leavenworth, Wyandotte Paola and./ssowattamie the ciizens are nndenarm All towns are nightly guard ed by citin patrols, and the military is no longer )lied on. Hon. Tie. A. Osborn, Lieutenant Governor till probably preside at the Paoli meeng. A platform of the most radical chtacter will be adopted. The removal oSchofield and Ewing will be demandedand a department from Kansas will be asld for. Common 4:tatisea will tie made tb the emanciptionists of BEE- eouri, and a committee will be appointed to go to Washington with the klissour ommittee. The peoPle of Kansas will not rest until General Schofield is removed,:and some man placed in command who, in• stead of being praised•by one faction and condemned by another, will deserve and receive the r allgmsti-ofrallioyal_men - and the hatred of the rebels.
