The constitu tional vigor of that wonderful people I proved sufficient to enable them o rise superior to all disasters and dis urage ments, and a new and brighter ay of glory succeeded to the Alight of gloom with which they were then ensh ouded. Shall not history make a similar record for us? All surely cannot be lost while we number more than a million and a half of strong . right ' arms and esolute hearts after the skulking of the' timid and the treachery of the venal. Your suspicions of the ultimate de signs of those who have again attained success, however well founded, may still be erroneous. They may not intend the entire subversion of your cherished institutions and the overthrow of our Republican liberties. A partizan tri umph may satisfy their Success and may induce moderation. A lull in the tem pest may permit the voice and humanity to be again heard. Peace, which has seemed the Chosen object of their deris ion and hostility, may be permitted to revisit our land before it comes laden with national prostration and ruin, and loss of liberty, and final separation. These are the consequences which we most conscientiously believe will inev itably result from the continuance of war which is prosecuted for any other purpose than the vindication of the su premacy of the Constitution and the restoration of the Union upon its only legitimate basis—that on which it was originally founded, but which the revo lutionists in the the South and lin the North have equally been laboring to overturn in opposite directions. Much as we were originally opposed to those steps which led to war, firmly as we then believed, and as we now feel assured,that our great object might have been better secured by, peaceful means and without any of the disastrous con sequences which now -threaten to over whelm us, we still acquiesce hi the pres ant necessity of a prosecution of the war, not for the purpose of revolution, but for that of restoration—not to over turn our reverend institution, but to establish them on their old foundations. To go further than this is to become revolutionists our selies. It is to commit treason against the only legitimate Government of the United States. Even to insist upon ab ject, unqualified submission on the part of those who are ocarly in the wrong, is highly impolitic and unwise. It in solve the substantial extermination or final independence of a brave and proud people, who believe themselves to be only insisting upon the exercise of a constitutional right. It involves the further sacrifice of hundreds of thou sands of our most useful neighbors and friends. The war is fast degenerating into h brutal massacre. The rules of civilized warfare are daily more and more disregarded. Every newspaper brings the record of some new atrocity at whit he heart of humanity shudders —some eaceful home wantonly laid in ashes;, some helpless non combatant sent forth shelterless and foodless to suffer and perish ; some prisoners of war shot in cold blood in retaliation for an alleged offence of - which he was wholly innocent. With such consequences staring them in the face, we have reason to hope for a change of policy on the part of those who have now attained an assured po litical thicendancY , for four years to come. We yield them this without question. They will have no further need of the reckless fury of fanaticism to sustain them, and may' therefore be sately guid - ed by the dictates of reason and human— ity. If they will but rescue our country froth the yawning - gulf of perditibn in what is so evidently the only practica— ble way, they shall have our unfaltering support, though all the credit should re dound tcrthemseltes. In making these concessions and pro mises we do not 'admit the justice of the decision Which our antagonists have just obtained against, us, The true verdict of, he Ametican People has been, as we believe, decidedly in our favor. Its ap parent antagonism 'has been the result of hostile Official influence, of corrupting patronage; of open fraud,and , of unblush ineviolence. There has been no honest decision against us—none to which we could be justly required to submit were not the consequences of resistance so momentous. . • But determined opposition on our partiwould involve the lighting up of a civil war in our very midst, with the odds most fearfully against us. Not only pitidence, but principle forbids a - resort to such a reinedy. The wrongs are - not so palpable or irremediable as to justify such a course, even where • suc cess within our reach. Something more than a mere conviction of injustice is necessary to justify aieappeal to violence !bp redress; especially when there is still a possibility of securing what we seek by peaceful and regular means. Let us then exhibit to the world a spectacle of almost unequalled moral grandeur—a great people quietly acqui escing in the direction of its constituted tribunal, though confident that such de cision has been obtained by Illegal and unworthy means. Let us show our al legiance to the laws by a quiet submis sion to their authority, though satisfied that their sovereign command has been extorted by fear or obtained by fraud. It is better to suffer too long than to ex - ereise residence too soon. With 'the result of the recent election our duties as citizens and as Democeats do not cease. It is true our efforts can prbduce. no direct political effects fo sometime to come. But we must still stand by our principles, in Which our confidence has not been weakened, but rather strengthened, by recent results. Let our convictions be as lasting as they have been - sincere. It has not been there'partisat success at which we have aimed, and this we , must demonstrate by our future conduct,. But we must not only preserve our principles, but also our ormiza ion.

Lathrop, senior mem ber of the we known dry goods firm of Lathrop, Lu ngton & Co., Nos. 22 and 25 Park Plac to a check on the Me -chanies'llort of this city. The . mOney , t on this chec which purported to' have been certifle , was 'drawn from the 1 I Bank of Com erce. Tee fraud was not discovered niil some time after the crime was pe etrated. It is thought that the aggregate amount of money which this gang of forgers have thus been able to obtain will be $BOO,OOO, and when the whole matter Is fully investigated, it may reach the high figure of $500,000, in chiding the frauds on banks in the other • cities mentioned. The Lathrop forgery ease, whereby the Bank of Commerce was victimized of over $25,000, was un der investigation yesterday afternoon before Justice Dowling. The culprits are known as Walter Patterson, Michael O'Brien, Ira Gara dier, alb Garside, George F. Coughlin, Hugn McNellis, John. St. Clair and Spencer Pettus. Patterson, O'Brien, Garadier and Coughlin have been arrest ed. McNellis, St. /Clair and Pettus are still at large. The following is all that is at present known relative to the antecedents of the accused. Patterson is a native of Phil adelphia, aged about 40 years. He has been known as a forger for the last twenty-five years. He has served sev eral terms in the prisons of New York and Philadelphia. He was a few days since indicted by the Grand Jury for having forged the name of Simeon Dra per, Collector of the Port. to a check of $lOOO. $e was arraigned on this charge yesterday in the Court of Sessions, and pleaded not guilty. O'Brien has for a long time been known to the police as a man of very doubtful character. His habit has been to hang around hotels, banks and other public places, stealing when and what he could, and often swindling unsophis ticated countrymen out of their money. He has been frequently under arrest, and the police say he has served one term in the State Prison. He is brother to the notorious female counterfeiter Honors Shepard. Garside has been arrested in Washing ton and also in Philadelphia, but so far as is known he has never been convic ted of any very heinous crime. Cough lin was recently a clerk in a large firm in this city, which brought him in con tact with many business men and gave him a thorough knowledge of the bank ing business. It was for these reasons no doubt that the forgers were induced to associate with him. Spencer Pettus is knows to the po lice as a burglar, a pickpocket, a hotel thief and a bank robber. He was arres ted and convicted of the crime of pick ing pockets at the Crystal Palace, in London, and served out a term in a Lon don prison. He is an exceedingly Intel ilgent man, and says that be will not as sociate with common thieves and bur glars. The antecedents of St. Clair and Mc- Nellis are not so well known. They hitherto figured in the criminal courts as forgers only. Previous to and also since the above arrests have been made, the police au thorities of this city have received evi dence of the most conclusive and* awry whelming character that this band of villians have, within the last few months, perpetrated very extensive and daring forgeries all over the country. and especially in the cities of Newark, Philadelphia, Jersey City, Baltimore' Washington, Scranton, Troy and Alba. ny Besides the $25,000 forgery above named, they succeeded, in this city in defrauding, on a forged check, theMe chanics' Bank of $8,140. The check purported to have been signed by L. N. McCready & Co. An other forged cheek on the Mechanics' Bank for $14,000, dated Sept 16, 1864, and signed Wm. M. Weeks. This is now in the hands of the officers. Like wise another forged check on the same bank for $9,000, bearing date July 29, 1864, and purporting to have been drawn by E. H. Ludlow. This last check was deposited in the Sixth National Bank, where the forgers *drew on it. The name of J. S. Gilbert was signed to a check for $2,365 42 on, the Merchants' Bank, and dated June 4, 1 1864. The amount of this check was drawn by one of the gang from the Ninth National Bank, where the fraudu lent document had been deposited. There was a forgery on the Pacific Bank, to the extent of $B,OOO, the- check bearing the signature of C. Ginnell & Co Ina short time, no doubt, as the police assert, still other forgerieg on city banks will be brought to light. The signatures to these checks were not only forged, but the same was also true as to the certifications on each of them. flaw the forgery succeeded is told in the following evidence: Samuel C. Moore, being duly sworn, says he is the confidential clerk to. the Cashier of the Bank of Commerce; that on the 21st day of September, 1864, while deponent was at his desk in the cashier's office, a boy came in with a note, which he handed to James E. Vail, Jr., who handed the same to Mr. Vail, the cashier, who opened the note and M read it to a r. Duer; the cashier hand. ed deponent the note, which is hereunto annexed, and marked, "Ex. A. McG.," and D irected him to reply to it, and give figures required; deponent handed the answer, which is also hereto annexed and marked "Ex. 8.," to the boy; on the next day, deponent was in the cash ier's office done, when the 'boy again handed an unsealed note, addressed to the cashier, Mr. Vall, which deponent opened, and proved to b& deponent's answer to the note of H. W. Weed of the day before, with ante on the back, also enclosing a check for twenty-hve thousand one hundred and twenty-sev `en dollars and fifty cents; deponent went to the fault of the bank and took out twenty-five notes of one thousand dollars each numbers sixty-nine to ninety-three inclusive, and placed them in an envelope, addressed it to H. W. I Weed, and 'handed the same to the boy; deponent has since inquired as to the said check, and finds that the same is a forgery, and that the certification of the Mechaaics' Bank is also a forgery. The following is the note marked "Exhibit A,".referred to in Mr. Moore's affidavit: LATHBO,P, LIID/NOTON & CO., 23 and 25 Palk Place, 20 and 22 Murry street. New York, Sept. 21, 1861--N. D.

To say that one million of dollars will not Covet the total , amount of the loss of property may be considered as far be. low the .actual estimate. The loss of life will probably not exceed fifty. Of the names of . vessels ashore at Lake Huron we have only the names of the Amelia and A. J. Rich. The requisite relief for both of these - vessels has been despatched from the city, and has, doubtless, reached them ere this. The brig Lucy J. Clark, upward bound, with a cargo of wood for Chicago,was driven back with the loss of more or Jess can— vass, and sustained some damage on the flats. The schooner Granada is minus her mainsail and lore staysail. The schooner Mary Morton lost both anchors and the most of her canvass used up. The schooner Racine lost a portioh of her sails, but has proceeded on her voy age. The schooner Quickstep was saved from total loss to, a miracle, having drifted at the mercy of the elements for many hours, with all her canvass and both anchors gone. The brig Mariner and the schooner Jennie and Annie are also included among the rest, with nu merous others which have. not reported the particulars of their losses. The schooner J. L. Quimby came near being wrecked at Pidgeon Bay, Lake Erie. A portion of her cargo was swept over board, her sails damaged, with the loss of hawsers and lines, and the vessel pretty effectually used tip. The schoon er Spray, on Lake Huron, narrowly escaped going ashore, a portion of her cargo being lost. Many of the fleet sk!oh were slightly crippled have pro - Wed on their voyage,while others will be detained for several days. Thanksgiving. Proclamation by Governor Seymour Governor Seymour has issued the to lowing thanksgiving proclamation: ALBANY, Nov. 17, 1864. By virtue of the laws of the State, I, Horatio Seymour, Governor of New York, do hereby designate Thursday, the 24th inst., as a legal holiday" and a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God, .for public health, abundant harvest, and other blessings during the year. While a desolating civil war fills onr land with mourning, throws heavy burdens upon the industry of our country, and carries distress into the homes of our people, / we shoutd be thankful that the miseries caused by the weakness and wickedness of men are lightened by the goodness and mercy of God; that the destinies of our nation are in his control, and that we can trust that In due time he will lift His chastening hand from the peo. ple of this country who have been un grateful of His favors and rebellious to His teachings and authority. Gratitude to God is beat shown by mercy and charity to our fellow-men. I therefore exhort the citizens of this State to help the poor, to relieve the sick, and to comfort those who are in affiction. Many living in our large towns are threatened with a want of labor and the means to buy food and fuel, while the withdrawal of great numbers of able—bodied men rrom out State into our armies, leaves thousands of helpless persons without support. I especially invoke the public to make contributions for the comfort and assistance of the families of those who are in the service of the armies and navies of our country. (Signed) Honano Sirirmoun. D. Willis, Private Secretary. George B: McClellan In the future of America, a time is sure to come when justice will be done to George B: McClellan. Partizan pre judice and passion cannot always sway the hearts of men. When the angry waves of the present strife shall have passed, candor and reason will resume their proper sphere, and men will look back upon the past in a different spirit from that in which they survey the present. Men who to day will not lis ten to a word spoken in defence of a political opponent, and who yet would feel insulted to be told that they are not in their right minds, will then reflect with a feeling akin to shame upon the injustice they have done in words spo. ken derogatory to the fair fame of men whom History will set down In the list of America's most honored patriots. General McClellan can afford to wait the sure vindication of History. Of him it will be written that the man who twice saved the capitol of the nation, still offered his sword to his country in her time of need, and was spurned by the men in power. Hisretirement from her service will be attended by no re gret—no feeling that a duty has been left undone. if he can do the country no further service in the present strug gle, it will be some consolation to know that partizanmalice can do him no fur ther harm. We do not suppose a con tingency can arise which would again withdraw him from the position of a private citizen until the nation which once honored him with its confidence shall have passed from the uncertainty of the present into the brighter light or deeper gloom that awaits it in the fu- ture. The Contretemps of the Wsohu Our little difficulty with Brazil, touching the violation of her neutrality in the port of Bahia, occasions a good deal of solicitude in New York and oth er Northern cities. This is natural— in the first place, from the large extent of our navigation and commerce depen dent on our friendly relations with Bra zil, and, secondly, the sudden cessation of election excitement, which makes any stirring event welcome to the daily press. The Washington correspdh deuce of Northern papers accordingly teems with rumors and speculations on the merits of the untoward incident, as well as on the course which our Gov ernment proposes to take in the premi ses. One of these correspondents, gen erally a well-informed one, states that Secretary Seward has prepared a letter to the Brazilian Government in which he tenders an apology for the unjustifia ble act of the Wachuseit, but does not offer to return the captured vessel toThe port where she was seized. Whatever truth there may be in thew staterimmts--- of which we have no moans of judging— we do not ourselves feel much anxiety as to any serious cOnsegyenees attending the discourteous act of our • naval com mander.

It has been the habit of parties successful in a Presidential contest to makethe country ring with their jubi lations; but in the case of the re-elec tion of Lincoln; there was not heart enough left in his followers to get up a show of enthusiasm or the hollow pre tense of rejoicing. The fanatics of Boston had a meeting at which Sumner read a malignant essay; the Govern ment officeholders serenaded their mas ters in 2Wishington and were rewarded with speeches from Lincoln, Seward and Welles, and the Custom House officials of New York held a spiritless meeting under the style and title of a jubilee;but in the west, and among the masses of the people everywhere, there have been no such demonstrations of joy at Lin coln's triumph, as there would have been if there was a reason to hope that his election would realize the promises of good to the country which his friends and partizans held out to the people as inducements to vote for their candi date. The phenomenon is easily ex plained. Those who were most ardently and honestly for Mr. Lincoln, now that the heat and passion of .the Presidential campaign have, in a manner, abated, begin to re alize, what before they refused to listen to, that Mr. Lincoln's policies are the great obstacle to the conclusion 'of the war or the restoration of the Union. They begin to perceive that the difficul ties confronting the Administration, made doubly onerous by the mode in which the Administration conducts the war, promise to break down both the Abolition party and the country. Tens of thousands of honest men voted for Lincoln in the full expectation of real izing Seward's prophecy that "the elec tion would fill the rebels with dismay, and their Confederacy would immediate ly fall to pieces." This delusion was the first one exploded; the rebellion is as defiant' as of old, while its animosity is more bitter; our debt is increasing at the rate of three millions: per day, despite an increase of taxation; our armies are being depleted by the expiration of terms of enlistment; the future is big with enormous conscriptions, and all things import the continuance of this exhaustive war until the last support gives way, and we can neither continue it with hope of success nor retire from it with credit. It is the manifest una voidable, threatening presence of these facts which forbids any attempt at party jollifications, and fills the land with the gloom that seems the shadow of disaster. Columbus Statesman. A Strange Story The New York Tribune gives space to a ridiculous story that on the Bth of November the Southern States now in rebellion appointed Presidential elec tors, who in case their votes were suf ficient to elect McClellan, were to meet on the day appointed by law, in De cember and vote for him, and forward the returns to Washington. On the day fixed for counting the votes "the entire opposition of all shades was to insist that McClellan and Pendleton were duly elected, and if this were not conceded, breakup the session in a row, and inaugurate a civil war from one end of the country to the other, the present rebellion merging itself in the nearer and more formidable. Jeff, Davis, Lee, Beauregard becoming alike Lieutenants of McClellan." Considering the election was over when this story was published, there can be no apology offered for its men dacity. General McClellan would not have accepted the Presidency if it was obtained by counting the votes of any of the rebel States. Can the Tribune say as much for its candidate? If nec essary to elect him would not Mr. Lin coln and his friends have insisted that he was elected by the bogus votes of the bogus electors of Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Florida? Was not the farce of electing electors in some of these States played for the express pur pose of being counted if necessary, to defeat the people's will in case McClel lan carried enough electoral votes to entitle him to the Presidency? Coffee as the French Prepare It. In Paris, the coffee is nectar compar ed with the beverage we in common ' call coffee. The French use three kinds of coffee, Mocha, Java and Rio, mixed in equal parts. The coffee, before roasted, is winnowed, to cleanse it of dust, &c.; it is then culled or packed over, every black or defective kernel is picked out, as well as stones, seeds, and rat droppings, which are abundant in most coffee. It is then put into tubs of clean water and well washed, then spread to dry; when dry it is ready for roasting. The coffee required is roasted daily at large establishments; while warm it Is ground and put up in glazed papers of a conical shape, holding from two ounces to half a pound, and sealed up. Gentlemen, as they leave their places of busine,ss for home and dinner, when convenient, call and take the need ed supply. The coffee is put into a pot. or digester in cold water, and then set over a lamp expressly (or the purpose, and there heated, not boiled, but steep ed; from the digestor no steam or fumes arise, when ready you have your cup of coffee. It is coffee, and a beverage de licious, health giving, not the bitter, acrid, filthy, nauseous drug we are in the habit of partaking, and calling it coffee.—Springfield Republican. War in Java Even the Dutch, phlegmatic and peaceful as theic latter years have been are now at war. Dispossessed In India, virtually dispossessed in Japan, and driven to some solicitude about their few foreign possessions 'every where, they are troubled afresh by a rebellion in Java,which threatens their stay there, and must, even it subdued, cost them a great expenditure. We.got only one outline of the condi tion of affairs; but it seems thet the na tives, having risen, had surrounded Bintang, the principal fortress, but poor ly garrisoned, and that the garrison, in creased in, numbers by fugitive citizens, were fighting as they do who know that surrender means torture and death, The Thatch liad succeeded in sending to the other •island for assistance, but whether it wortid arrive in season was *Worm ,ble.

The electors of New York .havegiven Abraham Lincoln a small majority, pro bably from five to seven thousand, . and Reuben E. Fenton is elected Governor by about the same figures. In 1860 Mr. Lincoln carried the State by 50,186 on a vote of 675,156. The vote will now -ex ceed 750,000. But for the , lack of facili ties for voting in the city of New Yolk, Gen.
