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. Bat go ahead; there are plenty of
men left, Allegheny county alone has
twenty eight thcnaand voters.
THE PROBABLE REMELT.
13.‘10w we give the result of the elcct;on
for Governor in Pennsylvania e.a nrar as
we can Rich the returns before us. fu a
day or two we shall be able to'give the
official vote. Those counties marked thus
[ 4 9 are official.

Viso — Secretary STANTON and Gen. Ilki.-
LECs passed through this city on Saturday
night, in a special train, on their way to
Cleveland. What is up
ILNTERESTING FROM LEBO PE
The mails of the Jura, from Liverpool.
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. Dobiado is to con
tinue to ~rgrin:- z P in hie State a semblance
of resistant.,-, His sole object, according
to some accounts, is to place himself in a
position for arra ging the conditions of
his adhcs,on. A,cordirg to others, on
the contrary, he is said to have determined
to quit the country and go to the United
States, and all this warlike display is
merely intended to conceal his secret:prep
arm tonsil , departure,"

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,

ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Oct. 16, 16C,1.
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

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.
