Mrs. A. W. Palchis SUSrEN.UOXOF THE HAS2A.S C0SPU3. There its no doubt that the late proclamation of President Lincoln will be hajlcd among tiishnal tuoti Xorti), as it will bo by n-liels S mill, as anoth.-r evidence tliat the Xorth is cotsipli'tcly given over to the '-Lincoln dt-sjjo-ti.-.in," and that we are all quietly ruI mining to the ;ltpiivation of every free right. Sen sible and loyal men, however, will look at the me 'sure.which lias been forced upon the Pres ident by copperhead judges and peace-men, in a lar different light. They will 1 em it wise and unavoidable, and will see in it a fixed determination of the Government that home traitors shall no longer destroy ourainiies by throwing every embarrassment in the way of the draft and enlistment ; by Laving soldiers released by every possible trick and device of State or local law, and by running the Ha beas Cot pus" dodge to such an estt-nt lint, II continued, wou!d in a short time leave us no army either to follow tip onr own victories, or to prevent the rebel invasion and spoliation of our own States. Th- riot at Xew York and the consequent necessity to uphold na tional authority, obliged the governuunt to withdraw twenty-five thousand of its. very best troops from the army of the Potomac, and at the very time, too, that Lee could have been most seriously damaged. Ve are creiiii!v -Jtilormed. hat. numbers ol onr soldiers have been coaxed lumie from the army by misguided friends, or Government foes, vilh the promise that they need not po back again, but that, by the habeas corjms dodge, and other machinery now employed by copperheads to embarrass the Government and break up our armies, theirrelease or discharge wiil tie procured. Xow we must eitli .'r whip lh- -ebeN,or be whipped by them. We must either make them submit, or be submissive to them. We must be their masters, or they will be curs. The President has ju.-d made Iiis eh. dee. and the loyal people will l.ick him up iu it. If the rebellion is to be overthrown, it tn rut be done by veteran and discpiiiied fight ing men, and bow can wo keep such men in our armies whtm a thousand agencies are at work to make them discontented. or have thetn released The Tribune publishes the whole of the Act ol Congress, in pursuance of which the Presi dent hai suspended the writ ot habeas Corpus. A little study of its provisions will show that all the copperhead ravings about Bastiles and loiters da cachet, and star chamber imprison ments and the impending doom of personal liberty, are simply absurd. The act referred to makes every reasonable provision for the protection of personal liberty. It does, in deed, authorize the suspension of the habeas corpus, but it also provides the means by w hich all persons arrested, except those arres ted and held as prisoners of war, are assured a judicial examination into the causes of their detention, and are pract ically remanded to the ordinary jurisdiction of the Lr. States Courts The second section of th'e act directs that the Secretaries of State and War shall furnish to the Judges of the Circuit and District Courts of the United States, lists of the names of all persons held as State or political prison ers'. The cases ot such persons will thereup on go before the Grand Jury .and if no indict ment is fdnnd against them, it becomes the duty of the Judge to order them to be before him, and thereupon lie may discharge thorn by administering the oath of allegiance, or upon examination may require a recognisance for their good behavior, and for their subse quent appearance as the Court may direct. If the lists are not furnished by the Secretaries of State and War within twenty days after the date of the arrests, any citiz.-n may, by peti tion, bring the case of any arrested person be fore the Court, ff not indicted by the Grand Jury, and procure his dischatge in the same manner, nnd apon the same' conditions as a bove stated. It follows, therefore, that, excepting deser ters and other military prisoners, no citizens can be arrested and held in consequence of the suspension of habeas corpus, without the benefit of a judicial inquiry into his case, a3 certain, as full, and as impartial as" ho would have had if the habeas corpus had not been suspended. If arrested and subsequently in dicted by the Grand Jury, be may be dischar ged on bail, if he is indicted for a bailable of-j fence. If .arrested arid not indicted, he is brought before a United States Jndge.and the merits of bis case examined by that Judge, precisely as they would be on a hearing upon a writ of habeas corpus. The only inconve nience resulting to him from a suspension of the writ is the delay which may occur before he is granted a hearing, but that delay cannot extend beyond a single term of th court, and in practice will doubtless be much less than a term. The principle operation of the suspension is to remove the cases of enlisted and drafted men, of spies, of deserters, and of other pris oners held for strictly military offences, from the action of the courts; and to that extent the law is necessary to prevent the depiction of the National armies. The only other effect of the proclamation is to exclude the State courts f rom the cognizance of cases of arrest by military or executive power. Whatever criticism may be offered on that ground is met by the answer that the Supreme Court of the United States had already judicially de nied the right of the State Courts to investi gate such cases. If the late Courts had respected that decis ion, the necessity for this proclamation might not have arisen, but tlioy have gone on dis charging sol. litis on all conceivable pretexts, in utter contempt of the highest legal tribn tial in the country, until the spirit of discon tent among enlisted and drafti-d men became rife, And desertions ao frequent, that the ster nest penalty ot martial law was necessarily in voked to arrest tbeni. But for the disposition which the lrcal courts (hroughout the States had shown to defeat the execution of the En rollm nt act, the more direct nullification of it by desertion could never hive been en couraged and stimulated to its present extent. It wis quite lime to deny the privilege of is suing writs of habeas corpus to disloyal judg es, who have possessed that privilege only to abuse it. EX-SENATOR EIC2 0,N THE DUTY OP DEK OCKATS. We find in the Xorlhern Sfqteinian, publish dvat i-'iairbault, Minnesota, a letter from the Hon. H. M.'Kice, addressed to some citizens of that place, defining what his position is.and wh.U that of all Democrats ought to be "on the war question. We make the following ex tract. ;The thought of acting with any other tlyn the Democratic patty never entered my head - The whole ohj. cl ol the rebellion is to destroy the principle of Democracy. The p rty which stands by the Government is true Dem ocracy. Every soldier in the army is a true Demociat. Every man who lilts his head a bove party trammels is a Democrat, and every man v,h permits old issues to stand in the way of a vigorous prosecution of the war, can not, in my opinion, have any claims on the party. If the city was on firs would you call on any paiticr.Iar party to extinguish the flames or would j-ou stop to examine its character for fear that you might violate si me of" its provisions by taking water (torn your neighbors' well Should disaster befall our country in the struggle for life, true Democrats cannot be 1. lamed. Those who have the power und do not use It to the fullest extent, and those who" are wasting their time and distracting the people by the idle discu.-sions, will occupy no enviable position hereafter, LTnion or no Union. "I am for regaining and retaining every foot of soil we ever possessed, without any compromise whatever." A PIGMY CONSCRIT. The Pittsburg Chronicle of the 14t! instant says : "We had a visit yesterday from an exceed ingly interesting specimen of humauity nam ed Lewis Greene, who was among those draft ed in Monongalia township , Greene county, but who, for his extreme ditninutiveness, was re jected by the board. Lewis is twenty-two years ol age, yet is scarcely larger than a boy of eight, but lar better made than any dwarf we have ever seen, and a vast deal more sprightly, intelligent and interesting. After he was drawn he received his notice the same as other conscripts, and presented himself on Tuesday before the boatd ot examination. The Provost Marshal ordered his exemption on sight, whereupon he atlected to be greatly disappointed, remarking in a loud voice, that in rejecting him the board had "refused a thorough going union man, and deprived the army of one of the best soldiers of the State." - God Bless Alraham Lincols ! This seems to be the ejaculation of every truly loyal man, as he reads the recent letter of the President declaring his unalterable adhesion to the Proclamation of Liberty. That Proclamation was the nation's promise to the slave, and it must and wt)J be kept. There will be no "re construction," reorganization," or "restora tion," upon any plan which does not recog nize the validity of that Proclamation. But the Union will be restored, and its restoration will be upon the nre basis of Universal Free dom. On this the freemen of the Xorth, conir ing forth from the baptism of blood, will "yield not an inch." The Democrats who remember Stephen A Douglas with love and gratitude, and who vo-. ted for him in 1860, need not, we -trust, be re minded that no man held that great and pro gressive statesman in more contempt than Geo. W. Woodward. , This Justice Woodward dare not and will not denj. ' THE ODIUM OF ABOLITIONISM. . It is a favorite weapon with the tories who hate liberty, and the wretches who adore sla very, to attack all who are in favor of suppres sing the rebellion with the sharp edge of the sword, and the full power of the law, as Jib ollionists I If a man avows his horror at the system which degrades an already Inferior race, below the level of the brutes, he is de nounced as an "Jlbolitionist," and this term, in Democratic parlance, is esteemed as fixing upon those against whom it is used, the most withering odium. But in order to show what is really the design of the system which the Abolitionii s desire to abolish, and in order to prove, too, that the system of human slavery is not confined only to the African either in Southern theory or practice, we submit the following "argument" for white slavery, from De Bow's Southern Review, for December, 1858. The Southern Review is the great exponent, of Southern sentiment, opinion and conviction on the subject of hlavery. It represents the idea (so to write) of tha system, and is per haps better acquainted with the objects and purposes of those who believe in the "divine origin ol a system of human slavery than any other publication in the Southern country. We submit its views as follows : "Our Gist proposition is, that land monop oly, (or to express our idea more comprehen sively and accurately) that the power exercis ed by capital over labor, begets and sustains civilization. Our second : That 'property in human labor (which is property in man) is the only property. Our third : That the white race is tin- true and best slave race. "... "The Arab barb is as readily broken in, tamed and civilized as the white boy. A good deal f moral suasion and a little of the lash stifltee to break boys and colts. When broken they never wish to returu to the wild state, iike Indians and tigers. Their natures are refined and in ail respects superior to those of wild animals and nild men. Submission to superiors, to law, government, and slavery variously modified, is natural and agreeable to them. There are a few vicious blooded horses and viciolis white men, who hate res traint, disobey masters and other superiors, violate rules and law, and commit crimes. They, like wild animals, love licentious liber ty, and are only fit for the plough, the peni tentiary arid the gallows. Mules and negroes are an intermediate class, who can only be half tamed, domesticated, civilized, and enslaved. "To say that the white race is not the true andtiest slave race is to contradict all histoty, and in effect to assert that there is some supe rior race : for that race that is most social, tame, domestic, skillful, educatable, and most readily submits to government in all its nsual forms, is certainly the highest race. Xine tenths of government is slavery, even in (so called) free-societies. Married women, chil dred, sailors, soldiers, wards, apprentices, etc., are not governed by law, but by the will ot superiors, their persons are enslaved. . . Too much liberty H the great evil of our age. and the vindication of slavery the best corrective of the spirit of lawless licentious ness that threatens to subvert, society." Here it is in plain words. The system of slavery as it is enforced and upheld in the rerof ed Stulesy contemplates eventually the en- SLAVKME.NT OK THK WHITE AS WELL AS THE black mas. This is the system which the Democratic leaders deem it fiendish, radical and unconditional to abolish, and this is also the system which Mr. Justice Woodward con siders has "natural rights," and that those who uphold it have the right to employ in its defence '-whatever means of protection they possess or can command." What white labor ing man can vote for a candidate holding the doctrine that the white man is only fit for a state of slavery while he remains in a condition to labor for his own living and the living of his family? This is a question which must come up at the approaching election. No man can rote for George Tfr. Woodward without directly voting for a system of white slavery. Mrs. Smikes says the reason why children of this generation are so bad is owing to the wearing of balm oral boots instead of old fash ioned slippers. Mothers find it too much trouble to take off tbeir boots to whip children, so they go unpunished ; but when she was a child, the way the slipper used to do its duty was a caution to a whole family. When the war broke out in 1861 it was com mon for the 'Democrats to allege that nine tenths of the troops were Democrats- . The same men are now opposed to allowing the soldiers of the army to cast their votes.: They must see that in the Tiearts ol their friends there has been a marvellous convertion. A certain preacher at Appleton, Wisconsin, in a sermon, made the following comparison, in dissecting the miser : "The soul of a miser is so shriveled that it would have more room frog would iaLake Michigan." O.nk of the Copperhead newspapers, or jour- j nabj rather, speaks of Governor Ccetis as "a j travelling candidate." We presume that af-'j ter the election, it will, with equal candor, j speak of Mr. Justice Woodward as the candi- , date who staid at home. . ! The accident to Gen. Giimoro's 300-ponnd ! gnn was caused by the explosion of a shell j within it. It merely had its nose knocked off. j It can shoot as well as ever like many a sol dier with his nose knocked off. . . .

' ' . SUFFERING OT BEFUGSES. While the people of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the north eastern States are wrangling over minor questions of policy, and copper head orators are pomtiug the jeopIe to the burdens of taxes and oppression" heaped up on them, the real suffeiers from this "slave mongers' ?' war the refugees from the South bear in silence the woes inflicted upon them, waiting hopefully for the hour when the tri umph of the Union canse will enable them to return to the homes, desolated by the march of armies and the iron despotism of the re bellion. We present bntone instance.of hun dreds, and ask our readers to contrast their own trials in this war with those of Southern loyalists: "Col. Q uin Morton, commanding at Rotla, Mo.,sfles that there are now at that post, fed by the Government of the United States, one hundred and seveuty women and six hundred ami nine children. AH these women are ei ther refugees or widows and wives of soldiers, and in destitute condition. Winter is now fast, approaching, and numbers ot these fami lies are without shelter or sufficient clothing. Some of these families are in houses without a roof, and others are in fritnc buildings, without siding, only the root over head ; oth ers again are under the shades of large trees, without any protection except tho shade of the trees. Many of the families are sick most of them have a sad and despairing look ; the little children look as if haidsbip and suf fering had stamped their mark upon their young laces, and scarcely ever smile the bright sunny smiles of childhood. .No work can be obtained for these poor women to do in this place; when the offer is made to send them to their friends,they say they have none. Most ol them were originally from East Tenn essee and North Carolina. Cannot something be done for these unfortunate and suOeiiug families 1" Thousands of families In the border State have been reduced from ;31uence to poverty thousands are now homeless and friendless wanderers, without a shelter for their beads from summer's heat or winter's cold. Wher ever the iron heet of the rebellion has fallen upon loyal families, or loyal communities, the peoplj have been reraorsely crushed, stripped of everything, and compelled to snfler in si lence or fly. Yet these victims ask no other boon than a speedy restoration of the Union by force of arms ; the complete obliteration of the despotism which has ruined them. For this tbey endure their p-escnt miserieViu ."si lence. What a shameful mockery of these people is embodied in the harangues ot the copperhead orators of the Xorth, who prate to communities that have hardly felt the breath of war save, alas! in the silently increasing gaps in nearly every family circle the va cant places in so many households id the tyrranny of the Administration, or the "rush ing burdens" of the wr. Vast treasures have been expended, thousands of lives have been offered up, to preserve the Union, and the price has been paid as cheerfully as might be; but in property and civil rights the people of the Xorth are as si-cure to day as they have ever been. To declaim otherwise may suit the purpose of mouthing orators, but thinking people know and appreciate this tact. A great novelty was on exhibition at the Vermont State Fair, in Rutland, last week. It is in the form of a steam pleasure carriage, adapted to moving over comnioit roads. This machine is of exquisite workmanship, and, when supplied with wood and water for a trip of 77 miles, weighs only CoO pounds. Some four weeks since, this carriage made the ran over the public thoroughfare from Lowell to ftoxbury, a distance ot 27 miles, in 80 miu utes. It is claimed it will move on a common road a mile in two minutes. Odd Exchange. During the icceiit election campaign in Maine, an amusing incident oc curred in Oxlord county. By mistake, Vir gil D.. Tarris and Rev. Mr. Garland exchaug ed carpet bags. The former was on his way to a copperhead meeting, and the latter was going to exchange pulpits with another cler gyman. Parris went to Xewry with a dis course on the times, while the clergyman had ... in return a copperhead speech, a bottle of whisky aud a John Brown pike ! t A lad was called to the witness-stand in court, whose tender years raised doubts as to his competency as a witness, from not under standing the nature ot an oath. The first question put was. "Are yon a son of the plain tiff?" The little fellow.crossing his legs,and deliberately putting about half a paper of - to bacco in his mouth, replied with the utmost coolness, "Well, so it's reported." He testi fied. The Woodward copperheads intend making peace with the South and offer to assume the rebel debt about three thousand million, if the slaveholders will consent to come back and govern us Xorlhern mudsills as hereto fore. Would it not be good financial policy if we must pay it to buy it in now when it is selling in Richmond for six cents on the dol lar.

He responded in a brief speech.alluding to the noble part which Penn sylvania had taken in the suppression' of the rebellion, and concluded as follows: ? "And now it remains for tb people of Penn sylvania to crush the political hopes of the reb.-ls; and those political hopes are to be crushed upon your soil in the same way that the men of Pennsylvania, aided by the armies . of the Union.crushed the rebel hosts In Penn- sylvania. (Cheers. For there can be no doubt that on the part of the rebel cause quite as much hope is now centered in the longed for and coveted divisions of the men oflthe Xorth as is grounded npon their trust in their arms. And what is to be the answer of Penn sj Ivania to those hopes ? What are you to say, men of Pen nsy Ivan ia.to" those enemies of your country who hope for success from your country? What answer has come back to you from the far off shores, of the Pacific I What has come up from California 1 What reply has been made to California from the northeastern boundary, from Maine and ita neighbor Vermont?

President Juarer, of Mexico, has addressed . a note to the Governments of friendly Powers, n which he recites the progress of the French army, and the frand by which they became in possession of the Government. He affirms that only a fraction ot the country is subject ed to the French authority, and that the rest of it is animated by the national life, and is determined not only to maintain it, but to r .store it in the points where ft has been inter rupted by the triumph of might over right. He recalls the historical fact that in the war of independence the capital remainod subject to Spanish authority down to the latest mo ment, without that affecting the existence of the Republic.
