The Parents of Ordeha E Fatchin, who died of
diptheria Aug. 7, 1863.
Mourn not fond parents, o'er the lifeless clay,
Of ono whose spirit shines in endless day,
Your feelings as a mother must be tart
Thus from the comfort, of your life to part.
Could you butsee her twofold happy state
And hearheryouthful tongue such bliss relate.
You'd cry aloud. Oh .' that such bliss were mine !
And at her loss, you would not thus repine.
Your child is happy in her youthful years,
To leave this gloomy vale of grief and tears
Her spirit mounted lar above the skies,
Where saints in glory to perfection rise.
You long have known the weakness of her frame,
Your Ios.t wiil prove her everlasting gain :
She was not given, but was onljr lent :
It shows parental weakness to lament.
Mourn not fond parents o'er your daughter dear'
Rar.ish your grief . and dry np every tear,
You soon may meet her on that blissful shore,
Where friends unito to sepcrate no more

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. . !

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

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

ning, the 15tb. 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

A MEXICAN MANIFESTO.
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.
The treason committed iu Mexico he regards
as a base crime, but one not. peculiar to the
Mexican people, "as proved by history, and es
pecially by that of France ; and neither here
nor there does the existence of traitors justify
the invasion of a State and the annihilation of
its sovereignty. The intervention of tho
French involves not only a grievous outrage
to Mexico, but is a threat to all nations, while,
in reality, it only subjects to humiliation the
few towns kept down l.y the French army.snd
is but a pure phamesy for the immense ma
jority of the Republic' The note conclude
thus: "The undersigned is persuaded that
these facts and considerations will cause ymir -Government
to approve the protest which the
Mexican Crovernment hereby make against
auy regulation, treaty, or convention, in which
the so-called regency or the imaginary Empe
ror of Mexico may have part ; and the Gov
ernment of the undersigned also hopes that
your Government will not recognize the said
regency and empire as the Government of
Mexico, since it is not so truly either in law
or in fact."
. The X. V. Xew (Copperhead) says that the
Democratic pi itforra in that State "f s suscept

choose to give it." In Pennsylvania the
speeches of Copperhead leaders, and the ar
ticles of the Copperhead press are only sus
ceptible of one construction unmitigated
treason. , . . . , .
