A Richtnond paper says, that young
men are scarce in that city, and maidens
and 'widows is search of husbands, very
plenty. The latter seem to be the most

that it is fatrfor widow to marry a sea

ought to attend to this matter, and pro.

without the aid of legal enactments, the

1"I want to shoW that every -one who, by
word or act, favored the abolition of slavery,
is bound alsp for the sake of consistency, if
nothing else', to favor the abolition of the
rpm traffic. I This proposition transposed so
as to read, every one ,in favor of the sun
pression Crthe rum traffic, ought for similar
reasons to favorithe abolition of slavery, was
often contendedlfor during the more exciting,
times of thd teMperance reform. But there
were eonst4utienal difficulties in the way
Which:caused Many to doubt the soundness
lf the latter .prOpositifr. Into the correct
ess of that opinion we are not now to in
quire. Thank j Heaven, the • difficulty that
doused the doubt, andl the evil that gave rise
that among are past. So "let bygones be bygones."
Our business is now with the proposition
first stated; and to make it good we will try
to sum out more fully the analogy indicated
in a cornier paper. f
jeAnd first) tus look at the territorial ex
,nt of thetwo evils: Slavery was sectional;
?um is tini4M.sal. The one was limited to a
1. art , ordy of the states; I the other extends
clver them all. Literally it "knows no North,
no South, no East, no West ;" but all are alike
embraced in the arms of the fiery Afolech.
There is no g room here fur the exciting issues
.raised about the extension of slavery, for,
as if by a sort of divine right to reign, Rum
is enthroned wherever a poptflation is found,
land hitC rninis‘eis indulge in no poetil license
.
4. •
when they sing i
No pent iup Utica contracts our powers,
But the whole hnundless continent is ours."
"Next letius view the numerical extent _of
the two evils, The slavei,of the South were
estimated in round numbers 'at four millions.
Five hundred thousand is set down as the
number or i dvurikards in the United States.
But besidcs tlOso usually included in the
category of thg drunkard, there is a much
larger close:wile have contracted intemperate
habits to Each iin..extent as to unfit them for
all the more iniportant duties of life, and
make therrt,ll nOisance , to community. Thus
we have at fles.et one million of inen whose
prospects,, 13is life at least,. have been
ruined by 'rum:- But 'all these men are con
nected with faMilies, each averaging at least
five persent, which swells the number of those
involved, in' did eVils caused by rum to five
millions. BntJfurther I,tje safe to say that
an equally kar4re number of friends and neigh
bors to the mtemperate are male in rile form
or another to experience the bad ,effects of
inteloperimapo,l SC that the proportion to
slaves of those whom 11133 drinking injures,
either directly or indirectly, is two and a
half to one.
"Shall we next institute a lomparison be
tween the bondage itself or, the black man
andthat of the victim of the rum-seller ? But
here all comparison is at an end. The one is
slavery of tie body ; the other that of the
mind. Thq slavery of the drunkard is the
, worst just sto far as the immortal mini., "that
ray'of light whieh constitutes an the image
of his Maker ' nobler than the body. Mere
subjection 'of the will to another can not
quench that sp4rk of divinity; within, nor sub
due tbcse aspitlatious after immortality, nor
shut man out ftotn communion with the God
who gave him being:,
.But rum does all that.
The drunkard is a slave to a vile appetite, to
sin, to evil, tol death,' and 'bell I Will you
say such languge is too strong? Why, Mr.
Editcr, it is within the recollection of some
in your own town that men have died who
declared on their death-bed they would and
must drink ruin if they knew the act would
sink them down to perdition! Language too
strong? Tell me what language can be
strong enough to depict the bondage of that
miserable wan who said to ills physician,
"Doctor, did you sayl mnst give up brandy,
or lose my eyes?" "Not brandy only" re
filled the physician, but all spiritous drinks."
"Then farewell eyes !" said the] infatuated
drunkard, "think Imust and will ; I can not
help it." Surely all the shackles ever put on
the limbs of the negro are mere cobwebs, in
comparison with the bonds that. fetter the
soul of the man enslaved by rum."

TIIE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT.
The_ essence of the late Rebellhin was
an assumptiOn that one race of men are
born booted and spurred by the grime of
God to ride,
,and another with bent backs
and hoof-like; hande to be ridden -1 that
the wise' and :stront>, because of theyr wis•
dom and strength, have a right to ; do as
they will with the weak and simple'. ;As
A. IL SteplMns well said, Slavery, the in.•
cidont or accident of other States,was the
corner-stone Of the. Southern Confederacy
—that but for which that Confederacy
had never been. Hence every Tory,every
Reactionist, in either hemisphere—every
upholder of the Divine Right of king-craft
—was a Rebel sympathizer by instinct;
while every ; opublican,every Socialist,in,.
the Old \Vorld, ws a champion of the
Union cause. Men do not wait to•reason
out such differences—the King of, Dalio•
aryl, had he been seasonably apprised of
our qoarrel,k would have joyfully; spared
his brother :Jeff. a legion.of his most blood
thirsty Amazons to fight for their common
cause, though he 'detests and suppresses
all secessions and rebellions in his own
domain. The higher law of elective affinity
would make him tolerant of treason and,
revolution, when their aini is the' causer
vation of the copple and the auction-block
fur beings wade in the image of God.
It is impossible not to see in the recent
utterances dour President a determination
to make war on the advocates of Human
,Equality before the Law. If he had said
to the Blaok delegation, "Your people
, must wait. ' Educate your children ; seek
knowledge; be industrious; be frugal; be
thrifty, and you will.ulticuately attain all
,you desire,; but prejudice is strong, and
you must not expect everything done at
once—we should have felt that what he
said was reasonable, and counseled acqui•
escence. f . So, if he had said to Congressi.
"There aro some provisions in your Free&
men's Bureau bill which seem to we tria,
warranted and pernicious. ; allow me to
designate them, and to solicit their modi l .
fication"—we should have urged compli
ance with his requirements, even though
wel could not ;deem them intrinsically
sound. But his Veto Message is a deo
larationrof war-:—it can wean nothing else.
It was 'not intended to convince but to
defy Congress. , There was not a Copper
head,not a Rebel in America who did not
lon reading it, say, "This is the man for,
us—he talks just as we think and feel."'
We are confident that itnvill evoke letters
of approbation: from Rebel fugitives, in
Europe, Mexico and Brazil—that, some of
them will even offer to return wheneYer
assured that "the President's policy' is
destined to prevail. John Surratt ray
not ' yet pe ready to condescend so far; but
he will surely feel that he has not periled
lifeiamilincurrred the pains of exile! in
vain.
When we'nsk the Right Of Suffragefor
thel Blacks, we are told they are too kin°-
,
ran and degraded to vote ; when we ask
tha provisions be made for educating
them, the reply is, that we surely cannot
deem them in such crying'need of edu
cation,l since we consider them qualified''
to vote!. Such is the vicious circle I;rherein
their rights are denied and their prayers
for justice derided.
Again : let us suppose the People of the
)'United Slates to be, Thirty-one Millions,
'whereof Sixteen Millions side with us,aud
Fifteen Millions with the negro-haters.
They ;stifle the voice of Three to Four
Millions of us, and ,say, "Don't, you see
that you are a weak ;minority ? You have
scarcely alparty in ten or twelve States"
—the fact being that we are a majority
in Most of them ; and that most of us are
suppressed and nuliiied. And this in the
abused name of DeMocracy
Of course, the natuaral presumption is
that all who would sell their sours to keep
and those who would sell them to get
office, piling ;upon one liungry party, qan
secure it a present.Predotninance. What
if th 4 doll? With power comes responsl
bilities. With action, difference. ; A
blended Copperhead and Rebel 'ascend
ancy, thinly veneered with office•holding,
and office-seeking Unionism, could not
help assai;ing I he National Debt,disturbing
the safeguards' . of our National Industry,
and . many other things equally provoca
tive of resistance. The new allionce,now
beiog solemnized by salvos of artilery,can
have but a short and stormy life at best ;
but''give it power, and it cannot fail to ex-
plode by force of inherent repulsion.
We are one of those, who would gladly
have accepted an instalment of justice for
the Freedmen, and waited far more to
ruc&e, favorable season. But, since we are
driven to the alternative, we choose to ;
claim full justice rather thrill acquiesce in
its absolute, flat denial. It has been
prPved, at a fearful cost that Slavery and
Liberty cannot peacefully coexist—that
onp or the other must give way. It is
ncitv to be proved that the systematic deg
radation of a race precludes the general
education of any race, and involves the
pe . rpetuatton lot Indolence, untruth and
b4rbarisw forlitil. If we,as a people,nePd
mpre lessons to make us wholly and nobly
just, we shall receive them and pay for
them.
Dark hours are probably at hand : let
ripe f6rget, that the way was cleared for
the policy of iliatauciPationby dist want of
heart and unSuceess of McClellan, Buell
and their kind,rather than by the courage,
ability, devoiion and triumphs of Grant
Sherman and Sheridan. So, though
whatevar of disaster and discouragement
may lie before us, let us never doubt that
the Republic is moving majestically for
ward to Universal Justine and Universal
Freedom.— Trilatne.
How the World Mores.
Two years ago the Democrats in Con
necticut nominated for Gevernor Thomas
H. Seymour, a person who did not thihk
it worth while to disguise his sympat y
with the ram] leaders. Day before ys
terday the same party nominated for Gov
ernor James E. English, who, because e
voted with two other Democrats, Od 11
and Haight, for the abolition of slavey'
in the District of Columbia in 18t32, was
denounced and burned is effigy by many
of the very men who have now nominate('
him by acclamation for Governor.
Though.bitterly denounced by the dent
ocratic leaders in Connecticut for his vete
against slavery, Mr. English was reelected
to. Congress and completed his record by
=-sting
for the Constitutional Amendment
abolishing slavery. The Democrats in
Conuecticut,findiug themselves hopelessly
beaten under the leadership of such hide
bound and stupid politicians as Thomas
H. Seymour, now take up a man of di.
reedy opposite sentiments;and put Sey
mour
and his friends on the back seats.
The people of Connecticut will see in
this chanrre one of the good results ac
complished by them in repeatedly defeat
ting the Democratic ticket. The party,
there as elsewhere, got into the bands of
unpatriotic men, who thought ;to use its
name and influence to the injury of the
Union and the elevation of unworthy
persons. But the people said "No;"i and
when the party leaders find they are in
earnest,they hasten to fling overbcad such
Jooabs as T.U. Seymour to sa vr,; the shin.
We hold the. President to be 'an aver . -
age specimen of the better class of South.
ern men. The country now know what
Freedmen have to expect of him'. What
may they!reasouably expect of the other
sort?
Mr. Voorhees of Indiana was ejected
from the; House on the ground : that his
election was secured by fraudulent votes.
The contestant. Mr. Washburne, was
awarded !the scat.' Mr. Voorhee's made a
viulent effort to show that the Committee
on Elections had once decided in his fa
vor, and charged that they had, reversed
their decisions on political grounds, bat
the recotd of the Committee was produced
and no such vote appeared thereupon. Df r.
Shellabarger then explained that an iu
fcrmal vote 'had once been taken upon the
express understanding- that it was nut to
be final, and Mr. Dawes showed that Mr.
Voorbces nominal majority turned out to
Consist of fraudulent votes. Nobody but
Mr. Voorhees' fellow-Copperheads will
doubt that the decision of the house was
a just one on the merits of the case. The
charge thatit was based on partiwn grouds
was the expiring effort of a man who
knew himself in the wrong. •
The editors of The Louisville Journal
and Democrat, both of which supported
McClellan for President, also hie] of The
Courier,who went his pile on Jeff Davis,
have united in a - call for a public inderse
ment of President Johnson's Policy. The
"Conservatives" of Kentucky appear to
be united in that sentiment, but the Reb
els are most vociferous in glorifying it.
Both Houses of the Legislature of
Missouri have passed resoltres sustaining
the action of Congress generally, and es
pecially in passing the Freedmen's Bureau
bill. The majorities are very strong-77
to 26 in the' House, and 21 'to 5 - An the
Senate. They know Rebels out that way
and don't regard them as properly recon
structed, as, yet.
No New PARTY. —The deingerats of
Missouri dec,line to form, or help in form
ing, a new party, and tell the conserve.
Lives they must join that party if they
want to sustain the President. The dem
ocratic presses generally do the same.—
There will be no new party. The repub
