[From   the Indianapolis  Daily Sentinel,
Treason.
.Treason,  as defined  in   the Constitution of the
United States, can only occur in a state of war, and
is in fact an act of war on the part of the citr/erf
committing that  heinous crime.    In a free government, free speech to ihe citizen is an absolute necessity. .They discuss and decide, through their representatives,   the grave   questions of peace  and
war.     Whoever has power to  decide, must needs
have the  right  to discuss; consequently, to make
words   criminal   would   suppress   the   freedom of
speech.   If a republic be .engaged in war, and discussion on its conduct or its iluialion be prohibited
who will be  qualified to make peace, or to provide
for the future exigencies of war ?   To prohibit discussion on   the  suhjeet of   war, under our form of
government,   is to change   the Gove ument   itself
from free to despotic.    Hence the,-Oii ■ al inconsistency of I hut. party whieh   declares that the Constitution is suspended in war, and that the whole auth
ority  ofthe  Legislature and  Judiciary is vested in
tho Executive, the Prasid-nt   being the sole depository of power.    Thus' comes [he paradox   that the
Constitutional   provisions   relating to war  are not
applicable to a state of war.    Nay, some have gone
so far ns to declare   it to he treason to ?peak in favor of the Constitution, or to  advocate the union of
lhe Slates "as established by that  instrument.    That
s -to say,   in a time  of   national passion,  when all
men are more or less under  the dominion of strong
excitemennt, ar.d consequently liable to run into ex
cesses, the  restraints  of the Constitution and laws
oue 1 i' ro be inoperative.    This seems about as wise
as if men were to decide, that in the midst of temp
tation they had no need   of the counsels ot religion-
Therefore, in the time of peace these people profess to be   governed by the Divine Law, discarding
the authority of ihe political law when not   agreeing
with thvir exposition of lhe ^iv.ne iaw. The'mild and
humane   precepis  of lhe Gospel not  harmonizing
with  the violence  ot  their passions, they 6eem to
have   determined    that  neither   human nor divine
laws ought to have any authority in control ling the
operations uf war.    Instead ol these, they  have installed that   uudefinable and mysterious power called the War Power.    This power invests the Commander-in-Chief of the   Army  with supreme   and
unlimited sovereig-tty over   the Nation, Contitulion-
and the   laws.    Thus in   their view the  army and
navy are not the iiistiurnenls of the nation, employed in its defence and under its contro . hut they are
its masters.     Hence   thev deUuce the idea that the
civil  government is  suspended, aud all thlugs are
under the control of the miilary.
Yet, notwithstanding all this, it is said the Government established by the C institution is the bes£
government on ear tli. Certainly it wo.iltl seem
that a government which has no proper provisiuii
for- the neeessities of war, cannot be a very perfect
one. If it has lo be th ust aside and suspended,
the moment the nation falls into any difficulty—the
very time when, its authority is most nccessaiy—it
is very defective indeed. Our Constitution was
formed directly after the seven years, war of lhe
Revo'ution. The men who were principally con-
cerned*hi ils formation were also actively engaged
in that war,. They could not possibly have forgotten that war might occur again. Twice since its ailop
tion, the nation has been engaged in war and the
Constitution seemed amply sufficient to meet the ex.
igeuciee of tbose wars. Why, therefore, is it not
equal to all the exigencies arising froih the present
war ?
The SLnborers Beartlxe Burdens   of tiie   War,
The. odious featu in the'conscription law that
exempts, practically, lire capitalist from the burd
ens of the war, and from pal licipation in its dang
ers, while it demands the body of the laborer, is no
more unjust in principle than are the laws for the
raising of revenue. Under the present tariff and
the inteial tax and revenue laws, lhe laborers are
paving nine tenths of ihe income received by the
government from those sources. It is a matter of
indifference to^ importers what the duties are upon
the goods they impott, for the amount is adduo to
the price at which the goods are sold. As the
tariff is most onerous upon articles of general use,
while luxuries are lightly taxed, it is pla n that the
work ing classes—farmers, mechanics, and daily
laborer!!—pay in the consumption of these urticles
th4 gi't-a poi tion of the tariff lux. Tho tariff on
woolens and cm tons amounts to a virtual prohibition, and enables New England manufacturers to
place their own prices upon their cotton and woolen fabrics. Ill these two articles alone, which are
iift'pensable in every family, we may trace the injustice which ope.raies throughout the tariff, discriminating in favor of capital and against law.
In tracing through the taxes imposed by the internal revenue law, the same injustice is apparent.
The staples used by all classes, but mo?t generally
used by lavorers. are  jnoat heavily taxed.
On all articles manufactured of copper, cotton,
flax glass, hemp, India rubber, iron, ivory, lend,
leather, paper, steel, fin. willow, wood, wool and
worsted, there is imposed a uniform tax of three
per cent. We have already shown tbat the tariff
on cotton and woolen goods amounts to prohibition
and here is an additional tax of three per cent, im
posed. The tax dogs not affect ibe manufacturers^
but comes directly from the pockets of the laborers
who are- compelled to buy these goods. They are
compelled to buy ihem because they are necessities.
Leather of all descriptions is taxed five per cent, in
the tariff laws, and is again taxed three per cent, in
the internal revenue law. , Indeed, most of the articles enumerated above  are heavily  taxed in the
tarig laws.
It is indisputable that the capitalists and manu.
facturers of New England fashioned tha revenue
laws to accommodate their own interests, and that
we have never had 89 nnjust a class of legislation
in this country before. It has been the object of
tariff laws hitherto to guard fhe interests of the
laborers, and make the capital of the country bear
its just proportion ofjhe national bu dons. But
tbat is now reversed. Capital is steadily increasing
under the operations of the war, while the exactions and dangers of the war are pressed upon the
laborers.—[Chicago Times.

The two Versions of the Battle of Gettysburg.
There ie an old and true saying.Uhat one story ii
good until another is told, aod this proves to be
remarkably applicable to the reports of tbe late
battle at Gettysburg. Al the North it was claimed as a yjprions victory, resulting in the total defeat of Gen. Lee's army, the capture of an enor-
jnous number of prisoners, a hundred and fifty field
pieces, aud we hardly know what beside. The
War lanatrcs were jub lant over tbe terribh*
slaughter and "annihilation"'ol the great invading
Army of Virginia., To judge from the conversation of some of these, a stranger woold have imagined that general Lee had been beaten beyond
all hope of recuperation, and that be was a fugitive with au insigniBcutit remnant  of  his former
w .-if, pursued by tbe victorious Jejjions of the
North, certain destruction awaited him. To sensible thinkers mnch of thia exaituaration 'was
simply nbsiinl, but ninny really believed that onr
arms had b-en crown-d with 'Immense success.
Now, how do ihese highly colored and intensely
geosationa' r ports appear by the, side of the
version of the battle as published in the Richmond
journals'? They riot onlyrepfeseiit that we achieved
no victory, but that wb suffered<a severe defeat on
that memorable occasion, forty thousand of oar
men having bien taken prisoners, aud the army an.
der General Meade routed, wh le the Confederate
loss is claimed to have beeu only ten tbonsaud, and
to make the mattur still worse, tbe battle is reported to have been renewed on Sunday morning
and wus the bloodiest of the war, resulting iu another Federal deleat, and the capture ol'a[number
ol prisoners, which soundsual nost fabulous.
Wnle makiog considerable allowance for exaggeration,no the Southern side, il is nevertheless,
highly probable that we have sustained a defeat,
and a very bloody one, in Pennsylvania, and tbat
instead of the Administration having reason to
congratulate themselves of tbe result of the conflict
north of the Potomac, they have much cause for
mourning ovi r another of those terrible disasters
which hove cost the couutry so much blood and
treasure.—.A". Y.News.
proud sntislaction of  walking   tbe   Englishman's | force toward the im passable barrier orthe Potomac
deck, a victory under circumstances so   desperate
lbat at one time there appeared no chance  of   escape.    Such ia the reward of valor when allied  to
constuncy aud directed by ao indomitable  will.
Liucoln, Seward, Halleck, and the whole 'Yankee press, are hugging themselves in the delusion
that tbey already see the end Of the war, and thai
that end is, to us, the death of our liberty, and the
beginning of an interminable servitude, la their
taunts and sneers we reply, in the defiant language
of Paul Jones, "we have not yet begun to fight.''
They Ihink they have seen pitched fields, but the
hottest -if those they have seen are, to those which
must erne, but a«. the frwhuess of the April morning to the fi«ry brenth of the dog-days—but af
tire snow upon the side of Hecla to the whirling
gulf of fhme within—but as December^to June—
but »» mi ice-house to a funiaoe heated au hundred fold.
This people has neveryet pulforth their strength
to ha'lf its extent, furious as bas been the war in
which it has been engaged, mighty as bas been
its struggles, glorious as bas been its victories,
unparalled as has-been the result. What We have"
done is scarcely a type ot wh«t we cau do. The
preseut situatiou, far trom being desperate, is ou-
ly tryiug enough to induce new energy in lie-con
test, to call for new exertions and new sacrifices,
to remind our people of the nature of the conflict
aud the object of the enemy, to briug out our
whole strength, and to let the world see of what
we are capable. While the Yankees thiuk they
have subjugated ua by taking Vicksburg, we repeat, iu the Ianguagn of Paul Jones, "We have
not bi'gun to fight.''
Such is the spirit of our people, such the resources of our countrymen In their own owu determined will, such the obstacles which the e >• my w 11
have to overcome, be ore be cau ever subdue us.
We have lost Vicksburg aud Port Hudson. What
of that? Suppose we lose Charleston, S vannul ,
Mobile, Wilmington—all our seaports. What of
lhat ? we ask again,
 "What though the field he lost?    '
All is not lost!    Tbe unconquerable will,
And study of revenge, immortal hate,
Aud courage never to tubmit or yield :
All these remain.-''
These we   would   still  have,  though  everything
materially were gone.
But we are reduced to no such straits. On the
contrary, we spe ii the solemn truth when we declare that in our opinion our siiualiou, although
it is one which calls for the utmost exertion, so far
from being desperate is not even gloomy. The
enemy mis i. ken V cksburg and Port Hudson.
Does he open the nave, at >u i i the liver thereby ?
Not at all, as we showed the other day, and we
think shpwed salislaetorily. Ou the other hnud,
be weakens himself by the garrisons he is obliged
to put in those \>\ cei-, and he s rnngtbens our
armies by returning the garrisons which were 60
long shut up there. He would du the-same thing
by taking Charleston, Savannah and Mobile.
Having no longer any detach d ports to d. fend
our army eousd then complete the pol cy of con-
eeulralioa which, hut pa imlly pursued, has already been attended with sueh memorable results.
Retiring to the interior as'lie advance.'; we shall
weaken him and sir 'ugtbeu ourselves with every
step that he takes in leaving his base of operations. We havs made our calculat ons long ago
that al! the towns wiihiu reach of the enemy's
navy would fall; and giving tbem, for the sake of
argument, tip io him, we conceive that we are
more able to beat him without them than with
them. Let it not be lorgollen, in Uie meantime,
thai we have a powerful army—an army that has
never been beaten, with a General at its head v\ho
may rank wilh the most renowned leaders ot whom
history makes mention. Let Ihe desponding thiuk
on these (acts, and tell us what there is gloomy in
our situation. For our part, we see nothing whatever. We may be called on to destroy more cut-
tou and tobacco to prevent their falling into the
hands, of the enemy; but, in our opinion this
would nol be the the worst (h g the Government
could do, even of Its own free will. It would recall the minds of thousand' from the pursuit of
wealih to the-del'ense of the country, and that
would be a a positive gain.
The School Marshal* hare oo opiated the censu
of all the children in San Francisco under twonty-
ouo years of ago, and from their figures wa may
make a close estim ita nf tha entire population ol
the city. The total number of children is twenty-
six thousand nine hundred and four. Last year
tha number was less than twenty-five- thousand,
and tho total population, according to Langloy's
Directory, was over ninety one thousand—the num
ber of children being a little more than one-fourth
of the enlire population. Supposing tho total population to bear the same proportion to ths number
ofchildren as it did nst year, the entire p pulaiion
is not far from one hundred and three souls.
There is a man out west whose memory is so
short tbat it only reaches to his knees, consequently he never pays for his boots.
It is said that every man,is made for the world.
We may say of some men that we wouldn't have
any more made like them—(or the world.
The fact that green and blue are the triost attractive colors is no reason why men should always
be green, or always getting blue.
The War of the  Administration Against the
Democracy.
At the commencement of tbe present unholy
strife, the people were assured tbat the Administration would not be influenced by party considerations in its nominations and appointments
There was no longer two parties, the Republicans
and Democrats having, it was supposed, merged
themselves into a gr h d palm tic alliance for the
so-called restoration of tbe Union. We never had
any laith in this coalition—this forerunner of the
loyal league system, of which we have heard so
much of late. The patriotism ofthe Black Republicans was of thut suspicious char u ter that it refused >o trust the Democracy esseept with the musket and biyonet lo fight the but.les of t,bolitionism
against the South.* lu fact, so suspicious were
they in this particular thut the tnrned nearly every
Democrat out of Iflce, leaving a few however iu
office, as a lure by which to deceive tbe people In
regard to Ibe partizat ship of their policy. Tha
democrats who were ret lined were of that kind
whose principles were of so pliant a nature as set
at rest all fears on the part of the Jjowers that be
with regard to auy opio ilion so far as they were
cencerned. Their principles were for sale, and
having found a ready market, they did not hesitate
to dispose of their wares. Ol course tbey sacrificed iheir party to patriotism; but iu their shrewdness they did nothesit ite to put a price upon what ia
these days has tumid but to ba a r-itber purchasable commodity. These however, were few in number compared with the body of the.parly, with the
great industrial clases of the country, the mechanics and laborers, the men who have thus far beeu
fighting against themselves nnd for an Administration that has now as-romed the form of a crushing despotism ; that is resolved on forcing them to
tight for negro emancipation, and that is at present
eugaged in teariug them from their homes, in violation of their most chei ished constitutional rights.
The Administration has uot only been waging
war against tbe Sout i, but it has ( ros cuted, ft om
the moment of its inauguration into power, a crushing crusade against the Democracy and Democratic principles. Knowing lhat the great party by
which it was so often defeated is still at heart ass
conservative and as true as evier to the co lst-ilu-
tional freedom, and fearing its preponderance at
tbe coming- elections the Washington despotism is
now engaged, through tbe oenecription, iu reducing its strength itr its principal strongholds. Here
in New York. «hich at the last election gave a
Democratic majority lor Governor Seymour of over
thirty thousand, thereby securing his triumph.
tweifty-five thousand men aro to be conscripted.
From what party wi 1 the conscripts mostly come?
From,1,ue Democratic, for among its ranks the
three hundred dollars exempt are like angels vis.
its, few and far betweeu. The men of whom that
party iB composed are the mechanics end laborers,
who depend on their daily toil lor support, and
who in the majority of instances, will leave their
