[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. [Fri n the Richmond Dispatch of 17th Jttly,} The Rebels Tliink there Ig No Cause for Despondency. While Paal Jones, in the wretched old hulk of an Indiaman, a hundred years old, the Hon Homme Richard, was i-i gaged in the desperate conflict with the Sqrapis, a new English frigate ol tbo first-class, just out of u-i I—afirra siujjie biead- Bide had riddled her so completely that he v. as compelled to lash her to the Englishman to avoid sinking—when uearly all his guns had bursted and half hia crew had fallen—a momentary, cessi - tton of firing induced bis "adversary to inquire whether he had struck. "We have not In a: > to fight,'.' -vhs the laconic and pilby reply, and ■» fief two hours'more of mortal combat, he bad the 0 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 families without the tncaus of maintenance. But no matter for that; they are good enough food for powder, and, besides, their removal to the seat o£ war will be a good riddance, a most desirable result, leaviBg as it will a Republican majority be» bind to secure the perpetuation of the Republican parly in power. This is the^ame-that is to be played all over, for the man is a luol who imagines thai the Adminis nation is nol determined lo hold over for another term—-aeotber term did we shy—yes to fasten themselves permanently on the country. And if the conscription succeeds tbeir triumph is as certain as that the sun will rise to-morrow. What did Secretary Stanton mean when, in the enthusiasm of tbe moment, after tbe announcement of Lee's repulse at Gettysburg, he told a Washington orowd thaWforthern Copperheads would be driven "hissing to tbeir boles?" What did he mean by this if the democrats of the North were not referred to ? Here 5» warning enough, and if Governor Seymour, the chief Copperhead of the state, is not on the alter be will soon find out tbat be only holds his position ou sufferance and so long as he knows bow to conduct himself in the opinion of his masters at Washington.—Metropolitan Record.

[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. [Fri n the Richmond Dispatch of 17th Jttly,} The Rebels Tliink there Ig No Cause for Despondency. While Paal Jones, in the wretched old hulk of an Indiaman, a hundred years old, the Hon Homme Richard, was i-i gaged in the desperate conflict with the Sqrapis, a new English frigate ol tbo first-class, just out of u-i I—afirra siujjie biead- Bide had riddled her so completely that he v. as compelled to lash her to the Englishman to avoid sinking—when uearly all his guns had bursted and half hia crew had fallen—a momentary, cessi - tton of firing induced bis "adversary to inquire whether he had struck. "We have not In a: > to fight,'.' -vhs the laconic and pilby reply, and ■» fief two hours'more of mortal combat, he bad the 0 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• 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 families without the tncaus of maintenance. But no matter for that; they are good enough food for powder, and, besides, their removal to the seat o£ war will be a good riddance, a most desirable result, leaviBg as it will a Republican majority be» bind to secure the perpetuation of the Republican parly in power. This is the^ame-that is to be played all over, for the man is a luol who imagines thai the Adminis nation is nol determined lo hold over for another term—-aeotber term did we shy—yes to fasten themselves permanently on the country. And if the conscription succeeds tbeir triumph is as certain as that the sun will rise to-morrow. What did Secretary Stanton mean when, in the enthusiasm of tbe moment, after tbe announcement of Lee's repulse at Gettysburg, he told a Washington orowd thaWforthern Copperheads would be driven "hissing to tbeir boles?" What did he mean by this if the democrats of the North were not referred to ? Here 5» warning enough, and if Governor Seymour, the chief Copperhead of the state, is not on the alter be will soon find out tbat be only holds his position ou sufferance and so long as he knows bow to conduct himself in the opinion of his masters at Washington.—Metropolitan Record.
