BIDER AND HUMBLE Upon the arrival of Secretary CHASE in Cincinnati, to vote for BROUGH, the In— quirer of that city, remarked that his vote would count no more than that of the commonest man in the community. Since the election the Secretary made a speech at Indianapolis, in which he alluded to the Inquirer's remarks, as follows •' The maa that carries SI hod can kill CRABS'S vote.' ?hat, my fellow citizenf, is the crowning glory of our institutions. I am proud and glad to know that Mere i' a country in which no man, however high in office, no man of wealth or distiLetion, ,r of talent, can give a vote which cannot be balanced by the cote of the humblest man in ,Ao nation." History is full of instances of men, who, while deliberately plotting the usurpation of the rights of the people, have appeared, by honeyed phrase, the greatest cham pions of popular rights. Secretary CHASE is a Presidential aspirant, and while in counsel he advocates measures intended to utterly exterminate the white population of the South, he, in the State of Indiana. rejoices that the humblest hod carrier in the land is his equal at the polls. In or tier to enfranchise three or four millions of unfortunate and debased slaves, Mr. CHASE would see the habitations of men, women and children given to the flames ; hut, upon the stump, he tickles the had carriers of the country by exulting in the fact of their being his equal at the ballot box. We don't believe Mr. CHASE ; like the human demagogue, he merely wishes to secure the votes of the "commoners" in order to enable him to reach the goal of his ambition. Should he succeed in his designs, instead of placing upon himself the humble estimate of a hod carrier, we would find him improving upon our prim cut, almost, imperialism, and making preparations for prolonging his power. In the name of military necessity he might suspend future Presidential elections, and then make preparations that his sceptre should not be " wrenched by t:dines) hands," but descend to the legitimate heirs of his usurpation. The patience of the people in submitting to so many outrages, encourages additional infringements upon .„...4..sial2erliesOnviting the ambitious to resorts to the old and successful Practice of fawning upon the people. 'Tie a ocmmon proof, That lowliness is young ambition's ladder, Whereto the climber upward turns his face, But when he once attains the utmost round, lie then unto the ladder turns his back, Looks into the clouds, scorning the base degrees By which he did ascend. But another year's experience will, we imagine, sicken the people of radicalism ; the recent successes of that party at the polls will encourage them to unmask their entire policy in the neat Congress ; that once done the people will crush them at the succeeding election. Mr. CHASE will then be permitted to return to Ohio, and announce with some sincerity, that what ever he may think, be is indeed no bet ter at the polls than the humblest hod carrier. THE SOLDIERS' TOTE Now that the election is over, and that the rebels in Virginia last week advanced upon our forces, the Abolition press throughout the State deny that any sol diers were sent from the army to vote for CURTIN. The Philadelphia Bulletin of Friday is particularly emphatic in its de nial; it says :- "It is as wel known to these sympathizers with treason as it is to every loyal man in the State that the soldiers who were granted furlongs for the purpose of enabling them to vote, were. without exception, those who from wounds or disease were inmates of hospit,ls in and about Washington, Alexandria and Baltimore." The Bulletin must have a face of brass to print such a stupid falsehood. Our streets, here, were crowded with returned soldiers, from the army, as sound and hearty as the day they enlisted, men who never spent an hour in a hospital any where. But depleting the army of the. Potomac, in order to carry an election,was but what the Administration did last spring in the elections in New England. In our case the army was so weakened, by furloughing soldiers, that Gen. Lira was tempted to advance upon our army in the hope of not only beating it, but of actual. ly capturing Washington. The Aboli tionists because of this attempt of LEE find it necessary to make the denial they do, but it is all false. Pribr to the elec• than. from stump and through their organs, it was boldly proclaimed that the defeat of the Democracy of Pennsylvania was of mere importance than the d2strue• ticn of LEE'S army, and to effect our de featithey furloughed soldiers enough to induce the rebels to make an effort for the destruction of our capital. That they did not succeed is no fault of our Aboli tion administration. The necessities of Abolitionists in Pennsylvania were great er than those of the nation, and to keep itaeit in power, it was, and is, willing to risk (he nation's existence. Such is the degeneracy of a party which pretends to be actuated solely by solicitude for the restoration of the Union. Siir A call for 300,000 volunteers hal been made by the President, If the vol unteers don't come, the draft will. We were informed immediately before the elec tion there would not ba any more drafts if CURTIIi 74%9 elected. There will be a draft for not only three hundred thousand but three times that number before the war is over.

Oct. 1, via Qaeenstown. Oct. 2, arrivei here yesterday. We receive by her two days later foreign files. The Precith in Mexico. The litonifeur of Sept. 30 states that the Minister of War ha'd received dispatches from Mexico to the 24th of August Tl.c Emperor's fete had been celebrated the 15th of that month with much display, “the population taking port iu it with the utmost eagerness." In the city of Meat co salvos of artillery were fired, a solemn mass was performed in the cathedral, the trirre -- nriciiiftztiett, )e, F l,F ?u, bull fighting took place, under the aus pices of the Mayor, to whom part of the garrison was invited. All the principal buildings of the city were gaily decked with the flags of France and Mexico, and at night were illuminated. A display of fireworks terminated the day's festivities. At Soledad it was much the same, the inhabitants of the neighboring villages taking part in the fete from au early hour in the morning until very late at itig}it. In contrast with these peaceful proceed ings, we find that armed bands, number ing 000 men, had attacked Ozumba ; but the urban band made ftn energetic resist ance, and aided by the inhabitants of a neighboring village, who hastened to the spot at the sound of the tocsin, repulsed the "bandits," with severe lose. The bands retreated to the mountains, but upon descending into the State of Puebla were pursned by II French General, and dis persed with the loss of eighty men and 110 horses. "Intelligence received from the North says the officinl journal, "states that the Juarist Party is in a condition of progressive dissolution. Its principal members think in some instances of with drawing to the United States, and others of joining us. Declarations in the latter sense are spoken of as about to be mad, I at San Luiz Potosi." At Vera Cruz, and in the various placed occupied by the French troops, trade, we are told, is improving, and bndiness peo ple no longer complain of the consequen ces of the war. The sanitary condition of the troops was as good as it could be at this season of the year. There had been rain at Vera Cruz toward the Mid die of August, the north winds are c , -,m ing, and sickness, already an the decline, was soon to disappear altogether. 't he railway had not much advanced. Par tione already finished, had been damaged by the rains, and 300 men were sent to re., pair the injury. It was reported, however. that the line would be open on the Ist ~t October. The ilfoniteur also contains the following letter from Mexico, dated Aug 26th "Every day the situation becomes more satisfactory in Mexico. Adhesions multi ply in every direction with such ardor and enthusiasm that it is difficult to keep a complete list of them. All the inhabi• tams of the impartant districts of Misteca and Huasteca, who have risen in favor cf the new order of things, have armed them selves, for want of muskets, with pitch forks ' sticks and slings, and they have chased without mercy, the bands which held the country and employed themselves in brigandage. Followed up thus on all sides, these bands are successively annihi• lated, or else they surrender. Several declarations in favor of the Empire have been made in the State of Chiapas. The movement makes great progress also in Oajaca, Juarez's own State. where the inhabitants have been excited beyond en durance by the depredations and the ex ceases of the Jauriet agents, and especially by the pitiless application of the odious system of the Leva. Every moment the news is expected that this State has pro flounced en masse for the monarchy. In the interior of the country where they I maintain their position by terror, the re mams of the demagogical party , an no longer agree. At Morelia, and upon various points of Michaacan. several lead ers have come to blows. The same cir cumstance has been reproduced in other States. At San Luiz, wh.ru the whole population is in favor of the new older of things, the Juarist camp, according to all accounts is a center of discord and anarchy. "The army of Juarez is said to be re duced to a few hundred men, part of whom are not even provided with muskets. and who have no other means of subsistence than that of pillaging the peaceful inhabi itants. It is stated that all the Ministers of Juarez have resigned except M. Nunez, who is said to have resumed the portfolio of the finances. M. Doblado has been named, it is said, Ministers of Foreign Affairs, of Justice, of the Interior. and of foment°, Uraga is reported to have received the Ministry of War and the ' command of the army. It is added ' that Doblado and - Ili'ka have merely entered ir•to this simulacrum of cabi net for to purroi•e o' beteg better üble to tie, t it w .I,iartz The Miter on h-s slide oely awaits an opportunity, it is said, of ridding himself of two men whom be has always detested. and whom he puts up with ciiwidingly.

The Democratic Party LA au k_3ltlltrlt-H WlllOl t.t,j,,y tho ire 6 ti enable blessing free it..ttituuctus govern atent by party is the normal [nod, c tn• ducting public affairs. Party government has pr, vailed in England ever since the tendencies the throne to absolutism were ext:ligubebt,l l,y theley - dation 01'1668; and if the method in this country. frf g:Jverninent is govern ment by I üb;ic p [ll6ll an .l it is only by party orgaiiriv,no LL:c public opinion can be so (011eC!, ,1 and concentrated as to correct or d)spigLe bad rulers. The most salutary influence of parties is perhaps this r.-straining agency on men clothed with power. A government might change hands every f,w years, and still be, as bad as possible, if the men in power wero under nu restraint in the in terval between the elections. A pasha or a proconsul, office for a limited period and certain to go out at its termina tion, wlll, corrupt, make the most of his time and surpass a permanent ruler in rapacity ; just as a tenant with a short lease and no hope of renewal is sure to impoverish the ground of a farm. It is, therefore, an advantage to a free country that political parties are more permanent than the tenure of office of the men whom they elect. The government cannot be conducted by an administration deserted by its own party; and as the party has hopes and fears which extend into the fu ture, the administration is made amen able to public opinion through the hopes and fears of its partizans. A vigorous and vigilant opposition party exerts a re straining influence on the party in power by operating on its tears, and thus en• forcing respect, real or pretended, for public opinion. In this view of the subject—a view which every thoughtful man must ac knowledge to be just—a party cannot be said to have failed merely because it has lost this or that election. If the demon strations of its strength in preceding elec tions have alarmed the fears of the party opposed to it, and have thus compelled its antagonist to change front to save itself from ruin, it has thereby rendered a great cud valuable service to the country, even thc ugh the benetit conferred tuay receive no formal rocQgnatun at . the ballot.box. And this is the precise service the Demot eratic party has rendered . to the country by its vigorous activity during the last fifteen months. If the Republicans hadbarried the elec tions last fall, what would have been the fair interpretation put upon them ? Why, that the country indorsed the Emancipa tion Proclamation, which President Lin coln had then recently issued ; that its approval of the arbitrary arrests then so frequent and eo causeless : and that it was content with the-Inilitary imbecility at Washington. Bat no candid men puts such an interpretation on the result of the Ohio election this year. The Republicans themselves-do not claim, and dare not claim, that anything has been indorsed but ate War. But the Democratic party has revived and won its great successes last year, on the war pure and simple— the war conducted as a war on military principles, without the sham of universal emancipation, without usurpation of pow er and without violations of the Constitu tion. War simply to subdue, destroy and scatter the rebel armies., leaving the rights of northern citizens and of southern slave holders just where the Constitution leaves them—this was, has been, and continues to be, the Democratic platform; and it is only by dishonestly pretending to stand upon it that the Republicans under the alias of Union men, have succee ded. The foolish peace principles of Mr. Valiandig ham and his immelle.te followers afforded a plausible pretext for charging the Dem. ()crane phrty with opposition to the war, and covered the movement by which the Republican party changed its ground. The great Democratic Euceesves last year are what compelled the administration party to mark the emancipation issue, and present, or pretended to present., the naked war issue as the sole thing to be de2ided by the election. We have extort ed from the Republicans this practical ac knowledgment that we were right and they were wrong, last fall. Imitation, says the proverb, is the sincerest flattery ; and the enemies of the Democratic patty could not hare paid it a higher compli• ment than by this attempt to steal its livery. If the Republican party in Ohio had dared to go before the people as a Repub !item party, with a candidate of Rtpnbli• can antecedents for Governor, and pre sentio; the distinctive Republican meal - tires for popular indorsement, it would have been disastrously beaten even by Vallandtglium. It is absurd to say that the Democratic party has tailed when it has compelled its opponent to change its name, disguise its nriuciples, and borrow Its candidates. l y these disguises the Abolitiouiits have temporarily escaped ,ustice in Ohio, like a thief with a new alias ; but it will be a short respite, Next year matters in that state will wear a very .101.trent face. Either the war will have ended before the Presidential election, or it will not. In case it ends, the election cannot be carried on a war issue, and the Republicans will be compelled boldly to show their colors respecting the final ad justment, which will then be the dcruinant question. It the war does not cud, the peoi,le will decide that they have had eno.igh of the mismanagement by which it has been protracted for four long years, and will insist on putting its direction into more competent hands. In New York the Democratic party has had the sagacity and patriotism to steadily repudiate peace principles; and going into he contest with no doubtful record. it b, coatidcrit , 1 the r.ticoess which the Denat.c racy Gt srm.. fit r. tr striter states have fool 'ably forfeited by daubiug with untemper ed mortar.— World.

The second army corps was in line of • battle yesterday afternoon, with the left resting on Bull Run, when the rebels opened with a battery at long range on the ,upply train of the corps ; but they failed to destroy even a single wagon. Their battery was speedily silenced, and a lively infantry skirmish ensued, continuing some Iwo hours, General Webb's and General Hayes' divisions sustaining the principal tire of the enemy, with a loss of five slightly wounded in the former and two only in the latter division. The enemy's 101.4 was greater. I'p to six this eveuing all has been quiet to day along the entire front. I rode down the lines of the First and See and corps, and with the aid of a powerful field glass only discovered three or ti tir rebels, and they were mounted. There is no appearance otherwise of the enemy in front of our lines at any point. The smoke of the rebel camp fires in dicates that they have fallen back to .1410 t El assay, In the immediate vicinity of the famous brick house where General Beau regard had hie headquarte.s before the fir,t Bull Ran battle. Col. Ruffin, of the First North Carolina cavalry, was not killed during the engage ment with the Second corps, but was wounded and is a prisoner in onr hands ' The first report, however, was that he was killed. There are various speculations and camp rumors as to what Lee intends to dc, and the strength of his forces. Gen. Meade is undoubtedly well informed as to the movements of the rebel army, and prepared for any rontinffency, The report is extensively circulated that Lee has received large reinforcements from both Bragg and Joe Johnston, and there are some, strange to relate, who credit it. General Meade has issued a general order directing all sutlers and sutlers' teams to proceed at once to Alexandria and Washington WAsiIiNGToN, Oct. 16, 1866. Reports from the front indicate a move• ment on the part (.1 the enAny's cavalry towards the Potomac, and steps are being taken for the prevention of another caval ry raid in that direction. Four hundred sick and wounded men from the Amy of the Potomac were sent down to day. In addition to the large number of sol diers already employed in strengthening the defences, one thousand men more were detailed from the Convalescent Camp to day for that duty. The fact that, while sick men are detailed for this duty, there are several negro regiments lying in idle ness, excites no little comment. It may be proper to state that the latter were not under the Jurisdiction of the commandant of the department. To-day there has been a perfect torrent of army sutlers pouring into Washington, in consequence of an order directing all that class to leave the front by five o'clock this afternoon. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods are being stored, and vacant rooms, cellars, &c., are dis posed of at exorbitant rates. The military authorities here appear to understand the recent movement of the rebel army of Virginia. By some it is con tended that Lee's army numbers no more than thirty thousand ; but it is incredible that our own splendid Army of the Poto. mac should have been pressed back from the Rapidan by an inferior force to avoid being flanked and taken in the rear. The best opinion is that large reinforcements have been sent from Bragg's army to Lee, to enable him to make a dash upon the federal capital. It is not believed by ex perienced military men that he would make such an attempt without a powerful force at his command. The alternative is plain that Lee has - either pushed our army back with a mere handful of men, or he has a tre mendcus army to sustain him. Toe latttr Di probably true, seal attrrn to fiat k Iritadu•a army by.: attet:jiag'4 ashlng on may be exi'kented,.l -4 Captain Curtis has been released from hie dials as auperinteudent of transporta tion between Washington and the A my of the Potomac, and Captain Garretson as signed to the post. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16, 1863. Last night at about 8 o'clock, according to the reports of passengers from the army, information came to Gen. Meade's head• quarters that a corps of the rebel army, supposed to be A. P. Hill's corps, had moved from our t:ont in the direction of Leesburg. The Star says a heavy reconnoissance was immediately started in the direction of Aldie, the reconnoitering party moving light, without knapsacks, and the enemy will make little by their motion should they be undertaking any surprise game in that direction. There was more or less skirmishing between the pickets on either side, and several casualties were re ported. Yesterday there was skirmishing all along the lines of our army, and some firing also on the old Bull Run battle field ; but there was no general engage ment. Our army last night was in line of bat tle. The whole baggage and transports lion train was sent to the rear and the But lers were ordered to Alexandria. - - - ThOskirmishing yesterday was principally for position, and the report is that in every instance General Meade had succeeded in get Ling the advance. Three hundred and ninety-two prisoners of war, captured on Wednesday last near Brisfoe Station, reached this city last night, and were committed to the Old Capitol. The President on Thanksgiving From the Metropolitan Record The august personage who is supposed to administer the affairs of the Republic has isaued a proclamation setting apart the last Thursday of November next as a day of Thandegiving. The document is a strange blending of fact and fiction, of affected fervor and pretentious zeal. Like all emanations from the Presidential pen, it 18 Z. sort of literary cariosity, and, for aught the public knows to the contrary, it may have been inspired by some of thos spiritual meeting which, we are told, are of such frbinent occurrence now-a days et the White House. We do not propose to ail tat our readers by its re• production in our columns, but we have a few comments to make upon some re• markablo stateruenta therein set forth. The following paragraph will, we have no doubt, be read with considerable surprise, in view of the events which have recently occurred, and which are still fresh on the public mind : In the midst of a civil war of unqualified magnitude and severity, which has some times seemed to invite and provoke the aggression of foreign States, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been re spected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere except in the theater of military conflict, while that theater Las beLn greatly contras tea ly the advancing armies and navies of the Union. The President cooly and deliberately in forms us tLat "the laws have been re spected and obeyed, — By whom Is it by bitaselt cr :ha people? If by the peo: ple, how comes it that he deemed it ne cessary to suspend the writ of habeas cor pus ; to deprive us of the right of trial by jury ; t;, supi reev the freedom of speech and the liberty of tho press ; to send and quarter among us large armies of occupa— tion, and to convert the fnrts, which were intended for the protectien of the country, felloW cf. our But we ere rather inclined to regard this assertion of our j)cular chief magis— trate as a badinage. We know he likes his joke, and that even the grief and mourning that overspreads the land can not repress the natural hilarity of his dig po. n Thus, when he tel:a us that — ll.,rtiacny has prevailed everywhere," we can hardly suppress a Emile. Our minds unconrciously revert to the Cabinet at Washington, where the opposing tae iions in their jealous aspirations for the next Presidency, are almost ready to tear each other to pieces. But the atmosphere of Washington is so reudolent of f....lsehood that it would be absurd to expect a true statement to come from that quarter. After depicting such a nappy condition of the country as to re mind us cf a vision of utopia, lie presents U 3 with the following nornipicture: Population has steadily increased, not withstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battlefield, and the country, r, 'icing it the conscious nese of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years wit h large increase of freedom. For this unbounded prospect opened up to us by the Presidential pen we can never be sufficiently grateful, especially when we are promised through his gracious bounty such a "large increase of freedom." We wc oder what response would be made to thil assertion by the three thousand citi 'acne who at various times since the Pres :dent's inauguration were restrained of tl.:•ir liberty, and who, we trust, will have 'entice done to them when the Constitution is re-established in all its former force and integrity. The President concludes by an exhorta tatiou to the people to oommend to the tender oars of }leaven, •`13.1.1 those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers iu the lamentable civil strife in Nv hich w e are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the inte,position of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation, and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the Divine par• posed, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and union." 1171 r peo l •Ic are of the opinion that we stall have no "peace, harmony, tranquil i y and union'' until Mr. Lincoln is out of the Presidential chair. In fact, he told them in his letter to the Bpringfie.d Con vention that there was no prospect of a speedy end to the war. If he pledged himself to non intervention at the ballot. boa in the approaching elections, the country might soon be restored to the en joyment of "peace, harmony, tranquillity and union," and, let us add, perfect and unrestrained freedom. A Deserter Shot Dead. Un Tuesday u patty of deserters, twenty Icur in number, were brought to New York from New London, Connecti cut. While passing down Albany street, on their way to the boat to take them to Governor's Island, one of them (Lawrence Killough,) attemped to run away. The wield called upon him to halt three timee in succession, but the deserter still keep. ing on the run, the latter (Sergeant Butler, of the 19,11 Connecticut Volunteers,) rais ed his gun and shot him dead on the spot. Butler immediately surrendered himself to the police, who conducted him to the B, ation-house, where a brief coroner's in quest was held, uniting a verdict justifying the action of Butler, whereupon he was immediately discharged. tie PRESERVE YOUR CIDER.
