If there wert argumenta ceeJeJ to prove tbo cowardly and unprincipled conduct of tbo Kopublicar loader, and how thoroughly tbt y dutrr.t their uwrj cam, it wou'J be found in tb ajploycoent of military force to carry election !a toeir favor. They fr to trut the people. Ttj kcow that, tbii very day. the; wouU be beaten in cine tenth of the State outside of New England. And the retnn i, thee leaders bare &ou4 ia the soundness of tbeir own docIriccf of cegro eminclpatioc, ctro suffrage, acd other equally nasty heresies. They l now that four out of every fire of the roten of thin country have aa honest contempt for thee measures, od, for lb t reoa. dire oot let the people btrt aa u&trammeled election. K?en in the free Stete, the corrupt leader of the Republican organlzitiou are constantly oa the watch to ad ooie opening to introduce the military, in order to reduce the people to a condition of dread, acd to keep the old and liifirru away from the poll. For thi purp, pretended conspiracies are gotten up by the toola, agenta and hired pie of the Abolition leader?, aa was the cue in this State in 1?G4, through the in triguo of a paper Major Geceral, and at the instance of the dirty conspirators who had a direct interest in securing the defeat of their opponents. The conduct of like contemptible wretches in Tennessee, Maryland and Kentucky, baa mad? the camei of these conspirators against the power of the ballot boa Infamous They have lost all sece of sbame. Some of them never bad the slightest idea of what was doe to themselves or others. Two Urs was the price of tbeir principles atd manhood, and they sunk from the loft? eminence of soldiers and citizens lj do the low work of party oppression. They "filed their mind" to serf e men even lower than themselres, disjracinj an honorable profession tj pander to the groveling ambition of sham patriots and malignant demsgoues. If there be s lower depth tbu thit the world hs not fathomed it. But thi Republican orgtuizUton reacts fearful things of its members. It claims the entire devotion of thoe who profess to act with It and for it. There must be no exercise of conscience ou the put of any of its members. Coming into power, is leGO, bv a cheat and a fraud upon the country, th! p-irty teeks to maintain it as -cendencr in the stmo way. Under pretence of war for the L'nija, it has OTerturoed and destroyed that Union it his violated and availed every constitutional liht both of the Sutes and of inditidinlrf. It has openly confessed and gloried in that shime it ba. spent lour thouaand million of dolUrs in emiocipntiug atid making miserable aud wretched three millions of negro slave', many of whom these men are now feeding in camps and tents, and paying for tbeir ration out of the hard taxes paiJ by tho white labor of tbe country. Tbey have got in their poieatHOn the abolition elcphint for which tbey have tugged and toiled so long, aud, like all igmract managers, do no: now know what to do with him. Such a party, or the leaders of such a party rather, will stop at no outrage. Tbey are elf condemned. They know that the? deserve political death, aud to prevent tho righteous judgment of the people from bein paned npon the ni, are prepared to hold on to the government by force, if uece U be Like all traitors to pub' ic liberty, Ihe-io cowsrds call in the military to uphold their grasp upon the throat of the Nation. This has been the practice of ty rant e and usurpers in all ages and in all landa Our traitors bare lemied the lesson of despotism from thoe who htve gone before them. A rebel tgaiot constitutions and Itw and he the pretended defender of both u a meatier traitor Ib.tn the mm who openly brandishes his sword In the face of authority. But why be astonished At the conduct of tbea men? When birt tbej ever shown manhood or magnanimity? What I'uritan Abolitionist does not know in the way of caeannees, annoying hia neighbors and disregarding the personal rights of others, it ia unnecessary that the world should learn. His history is before the country. Tbe fathers of these outlaws and persecutors were adepts in this business of usurpation They killed and exiled tbe Haptists, refused Catho lics an asylum, and burned toe tongue of the Qjakers with red hot irous in or der to nike them conform to their owu lamblike dogmas about theology and civil government. In tbe nineteenth century of the Christian era, these descendants of theirs are engaged in this vile work again. Too cowardly themselves to enforce their mtliuant measures, or to become usurpers per tt, they base the accidental power to call upen military officers (if such fellows can be to called, without disgracing the honorable private soldier,) to do for them what they dare not undertake themselves The conduct of these military satraps has filled the land with disgust aaJ shame. Their history iu Missouri, Maryland, Tennessee and Keulu:ky presents a calendar as disgraceful as the career of tbe low and bae born upstarts ot Hr lish, Russian and Aus Irian tyranny ia IreUu-t, k'oUrul and Hungary. Well did tbe true soldier, patriot, and atattsmin, Saaaua. reprove this claas of military pretenders, when he told the country, in a recent speech, that An soldiers could never he "hangmen," police oSlet or turnkeys that their bustB?es ii to fibl armel rebel It was a noble b)ast, and a deserved compliineut to the great army which he led to victory. Such soldiers as Seta dignify human nature and makes tbe citizen feel proudof his country. Tbe other kind, who fulminate their orders, from "these headquar. trrj." against non combsttnts, old men anJ women, "copperheads," and voters at the polls, are an entirely different clas. If any one feel a throb or a sentiment toward them, it is that of disgust and contempt. Even those who use these creatures sneer at their weakness acd wink at their folly. In after time tho wonder will be. bow men weiring lie honored uniform of an American soldier coulJ thu dishonor it, and for tbe ignoble purpose, too, of pandering to a cowardly set of political kuives whose only object is to destroy tbe States. oppres the people, and plunder tbe cation. So shamele wa thu military interference in elections durisg the years !Mi3-6i. that even the last Repabtiean C.iccreaj became diutted at its frequency. To put a stop to such disgraceful eibibitious, the tj!iois enactment u passed, a:id is to dy the law of tbe land: Am Act to Taaviir O ru it or the Aimt am. avi a0 oTHia Paa-oss EsoaocD I Milltaut asd Naval Slavics or thk Ujcitid STru, ros hiiifisnri n the Klectios 21 TBS Stana.

Approved February 25, IbGo. This law was approved and signed by Pi evi dent Limcoln, on the ilüth day of February, 18C). It stands unrepealed and unamended, and challenges the respect of all good meu. And yet will it be believed, it has been grossly vio lated in numerous instances? Whenever the very men who voted for the law deems its violation necessary to secure a partisan triumph at an election, they violate it with as little hesitation as they have violated tho Constitution itself. Look at the recent elections in Kentucky and Tennessee! A man named Palmkb., whom, they call a Major Geueral, now commanding io Ken tucky, isiued his proclamation before the election, "jlxinj the qualifications ofroters," in that State, in direct conflict with the Ur of Congress, which he treitcl as s mMih waste paper. And he did not stop at that The law of February 20tb forbid hiui to order, Irinj, keep, or Aarunder bis authority, or control any troops or armed men at the place whsre any general or special election is held in any Slate of the United States of America." This clause of the law he has alo violated, for he ordered to and kept at the polls at numerous points in Kentucky, dur iug the election on Monday last, "troop" and "armed men," for the purpose of "threat menace, and intimidation." He threatened to d so before the election, in order to alarm the feeble and helpless, and he carried out his threat. Without this military interference, which was in violation of law, his party wonld bare been beaten 40,01)0 votes. To sum up tho whole matter, these Abolitionists intend to re sped no law not oven the one they enact themselves. When a law suits them, they obey it. When otherwise, they set it at defiance What are they but rebels and traitors? We trust the people everywhere will calmly consider tbe condition into which our public af fairs are driftfng. Laws snd Constitutions can not be set aside at the pleasure of either civilians or military officers without fiually ngulpbir.g the liberties of tbe people. These Constitutions and l,iws are the only safeguards which the citizens have. Abandon them to violence, anarchy, or the dominion of tho few, aud the muxes of our people are at the mercy of the basest and msriti est reptiles which crawl into power. We have before us the warnings of history. If we fail to correct outrages of this kind we shall deserve the fate which awaits us. i ni: k i: vr I i i. y l : l i; ir n o .i . The infamous outrages committed by the militsry authorities, at the election in Kentucky, on Monday, were of such a character that even the Republican press feel necessitated to rebuke them. It is unnecessry for us to say a word when the Cincinnati Commercial dcuounces tbe interference of General r.uur.B, in tho follow iug unequivocal and just manner: "The American people are properly sensitive concerning the integrity of the ballot box, and the proceedings in Kentucky on electioa day will not be received with favor iu any quarter, acd least of all by those who have stood with most constancy and firmne by tbe cause of law and order the caue of Union ami American nationality, during the war. "It is not becou.ing that a file of soldiers shall stand before the polls, and that officers cf the army of the United Sta'c shall- bold lists of lhoe who are proscribed, made out by irrespoaible persons, aud prevent them from approaching the ballot box That this was doue in Kentucky, there is ample and conclusive evidence; and the tltvor of this business is too nearly that of the border ruffian outrages, in Kansas, to per mit it to be pased iu silence by sny honest journalist. "W fsl that it is a duty to brintf this matter before the people, and to remind the madmen iu Kentucky, who have instigated and propose to profit by tbe outrage, that there is not a township in the North where the anion of tho military in their State, on election day, would be sustained by a LQj arity of the voters. We can uot but think that lieneral Falmer has greatly exceeded his authority that he has grossly and expresaly violated h iuatructiou, aud will be rebuked accordingly. "His presence uu the alum? during ike late canvass wa not called for. and was in bad taste and irjutious to tt.e caure be sought to charn piou; and bis obtrusive, illegal and unscrupulous use of the military power has disgusted thousands of the friends of the Constitutional Amendment After all he hts driven more Union men than rebels from the polls. "Fersons competent to testify those familiar with the people conversant with all the facts and in full sympathy with the Union cause, assure us that in Kenton and Campbell counties there were many of the bet Unljn meu who did not go near the pol!, scorning to cist a vote un der military surveillance.' "If Kentuckiins were mad eacugb to tend a disloyal delegation to Coupresa a delegation elected by rebel vote, the remedy would be fonad in Congress itself; and would unquestion ably be applied by that tody. 1 Le rtbel representatives would be excla-Jed. If the integrity of the ballot box iu Kentucky, under the laws of the State, cannot be mtintaJael without whole sale military operation, it would be better not to have any elections, an 1 to put an end at once U civil government ftom the Kanawha to the Mississippi." We also till attention ta the foilowiu letter from the well kuon correspondent ol the Cincinnati Commercial, Maca.who describes most graphically the attempt of the JsCwbins around Lexington to carry the election by intimidation and military force. If such acta are not repudi ated by the American people, election hereafter wiil be a farce and our "free" Government will only exist ic name : LaxiMGTOM, Ky., August Ö. leti. 1 "Vote as you please, but if you vote against

N" Apollo yonll t shot." And the Cnt consul wis "elected" Kmpcror by a Urge majority, not from the fact of Lis great popularity, or the desire of tbe people of Fraoce to see kirn on tbe throne, but from a singular asd unaccountable aversion men seemed to have of being abot. "Vote as you please," siiJ, io effect, afew of tbe leaders of tbe AoeLdment party bert, yes terday morning, "but if you vote sgaioat our friends, we'll have you arreted." But tbe peo pleof Kentucky are not Frenchmen, and tboe who attempted the Napoleonic method of election, fousd, ere lor g, that tbey had reckoned without their host. Tbe first reminder I had of ns being electionday yesterday wxj a file of soldiers passing along the street, with several citizens under arrest acd on their way to tbe guard boue. It callfd to mind scenes of war and conflict in the distant South, which I had foolishly supposed were brough to a conclusion with tbe surrender ot tbe rebel armies I went to the vicinity of tbe polls, and fouad a a Ute. of affairs existing for which history famishes co parallel but that of Franee which I have quoted. A citizen approached the Court-Houe jut as I arrived, and as be was about to enter for the purpose of depositing his ballot be was accosted by a Captain of the State Guard, who inquired of him "what be was doing here?" The natural reply was, "I came to vote " "Well, sir, you can't vote, and you'd

better go home, or I'll arrest jou." "Cf whose authority am I prevented from voting?" "By the authority of (en. Wade. Your came is on this list, acd my intftruc:ion are to prevent every man whose name is on this lot from vot.nz. and to arrest them if tbey come about here " "Well. I'll go to the judges, and let them decide whether I shall vote or do:." The citizen stepped forward to o to the polls; the Captain beckonded to a cousie of soldiers, and in five minutes Mr. was in the guard-bouse. Soon after another citizen came along. "What's your name?" sid the Captain iu com mand. "My cime is ." "Well, let ms ee if your mme is on my list." Out came the lu-t of "disloyal" ones from the Captain's pocket, and down went tbe Captain's eyes along down the margin to see if the individuxl betöre him had been disfranchised lit citizsn waits with trembling anxiety for the le cisionbf his fate. As rood men as he, and as loyal, have been arrested already, and are now in duress, and what is to save him from being condemned to keep them company? But he is soon relieved by the commandant of the polls (this 's a new military office, hitherto unknown); who, not finding his name on the index eipurgatorius, tells him "all riht, you can vote." "Open order," says a Sergeant, and the file of soldiers fall bick on either side, while he who ha.4 juät been weighed in the btlances and uot found wanting, proceeds to ca?t his vote, repeating to him?e!f, no doubt, the familiar lines of 1'ierpont . "How light the ballots fall, I.ik Bnowt'.akei on the od. And execute a freeman's will As lightning doe the will of GwJ." Before I had been at the polls much longer, another arrest was made. This time it was done without questioning the proscribed individual. Some person had usid to the officer of the puard, "Arrest that man," and as that was exactly what the officer waa there for, he obeyed the injunc tion, and for tho monstrous crime of approaching the polls, Mr. was marched to the lockup And so it kept on un'il the following correponJence occurred, by tele,s;Mph, between the Sheriff of Fayette Couuty and Governor Brsm letter "Lexinoto.x, August 7, 1?G3. "To Governor T. K. Bramlette, Frankfort, Ky.: "A military force occupie both voting places in this city, an J h ve arrested three men , one for voting, and two for being in the Court-houe, intending to vote. Thereupon, the officers of the election in one precinct declined to j;o on with the election under military dictation. The Sheriff at one precinct was arreteJ, and taken to headquarters, while in the discharge of his duties. The citizens stand in front ot the poll", and iudicite to the soldiers tho.e who are not entitled to vote, and all such so pointed out arc oot allowed to present theuiseles to the Judges. What shall I do? Signed " W. W. Doirx. "Sheriff, Fayette County. FaaMKoaT, August 7, li-Ci. " To W. W. Douden: "Tbe officers of elections should be entirely free from any military dictation or menace. Tbe military has no right to interfere utile when called upon to support the authority and decision of tbe oiheers of election. Any attempt to con trol the action of the officers of electioa, by the military, is in riolation'of law, and punishable by the laws of the State, and by the net of Con gress. With the arrest of individuals, neither the officers of election nor myself have anything to do. What the Constitution and laws of Kentucky lay down aa the rule for elections i the only rule to be observed. If prevented from observing theao rule, I would not proceed with the elec lion. It should be free, aud according to law, or uot be at all. Sigred "T. K. BaaiiLkRTK, "Governor of Kentucky." This, the Sheriff thought, ought to settle the matter. He went to General Wade's headnuar ters with a copy of Bramlette's dispatch, told him the situation, and aked htm if be would with draw tbe soldiers from the polls. Wade replied that he bad nothing to do with Governor Braruletle's dispatch; that be was acting uader (Jene ral Palmer's order, and that he believed Mr Dowden wanted to let disloyal men vote Mr. Dowden stid he didn't, but he wanted a free election. "Well," said General Wade, "the soldiers shall stay thero till the polls close." Tbii was about 2 1 M. Under Governor Brum letle's dipatch, the Jacobinical leaders of tho "radicals" had already wilted, very much as au uprooted cabbage plant wilts utider a bot sun, and, although General Wade refused to withdraw the soldiers from tho polls, be "modified" them to kucIi an extent as to allow the? Judges of the eleation to decide upon the qualification of voters, and thereafter, uutil f 1 . M., there was something approximating to a free election. And I am very far from syit:g that all who approached the polls ought to have bceu allowed to vote. But I believe the proclamation of Gov. Bramletto ought to have been enforced, and if there were doubts as to loyalty, the oath prcscri bed in the proclamation ouyiht to have been pre sentel "But they would swtar to a lie," say some of the over enlons. Then arrest them for perjury. The most corrupt feature ot the election wa this: Men were proscribed by a self constituted "Committee en Public Safety;" a list was made out, and the command was given to the Holdiers, who guarded the polls, to let no nun, wboe name was on that list, vote, and not only ho, but to arrest him if he attempted to vote Now, I should like to kuow by what right a party of men whose loyalty has been more vigorously displayed in holding office than in any other way visible to the naked eye, sat in iuJaie::t upon the character of others, and decided whether they were traitors to or friends of the Government I believe military interference, to the extent contemplated by Gov. Bramlsuc that of protecting the civil officers of the Government wtien called upon would have been eminently jut at.d pro per. But not content with this, it was dctermin ed by those who bad control of affairs on the anti-slavery side to make a mockery of the electionto trample under foot all laws, State and National, and carry the day by a coup tie main upon the eallot-box. They found tef'ore locc that in heating a furnace for their foes, they had singed themselves Some oftbebest anti slavery men in the city of Lexington, seeiDg how matters were being conducted, declined to vote at all, and others, to rebuke such lawlessness, voted against their principles, and in favor of tue Con servative ticket, l'his I know to be a fct. Tbe result of the election was an overwhelming defeat of the radical ticket in this district at tributable to a variety of causes, chief among which was the late order of General Palmer, for the isjue of passes to such negroes as choose to apply for them, which seems to have had no other effect lhau to till the city and all the ad jacent towns with colored vsgrnts. It is true the pass is ostensibly given to the negro to aa thorize him to lock tor employment, but the uutophii:icttxi negro regards it as a title deed to perennial tenure, and doesn t trouble h.iuei! about work while be can draw Govertfment rations, and bak in August sunshine, cone daritig to moIet him or make Lim afraid. Another cause of failure was tbe bad manigemect of the campaign on the radical ticket. There were scarcely any efforts msde to inform the minis of the people op-n tbe isue pending. through the instrumentality of popular speakers acd large meetings. Tbe Congressional cacdidaees debated at different points, but General Krv had an unfortunate way of increasing Shaoklin's vote every time he spoke Then same tke

Tte followicg article in reference to tbe exemption of United States Bonds from taxation, comes from tbe Auburn, . Y., Advertiser. This paper is the home organ of Mr. Secretary StwaaD, and may give expression to bis views in reference to tbe legislative action which places tbe bnrdess cf tbe Government upon the producing clarses, the poor of tbe country, and relieves the rich. Whether thia is the esse or not, it states most truly the effect of Congressional legislation upon the over taxed masses, and it is one of the very few Republican papers, if it does not stand solitary and alone, iu sympathy with right and ja.-ticc Say tbe Advertiser; "We have had a war. We have had enormous national expenses. We have had a Secretary of the Treasury to invent ways and means to provide for them. It was Secretary Chase. He bad to raise artificial wind upon some occasions when there were no natural breezes. Upon the whole be acted widely. Nevertheless he wa very human. He acted for the emergency in which he was placed; and he was atatesman enough to find a way to escape from the responsibility, if not the echoes of his own music. Government stocks exempted from taxation, legal tenders and National Banks do not returu to trouble him. But they do return to trouble his successor. Right or wrong, they have penalties; aLd they are auch at the present time as to trouble the thinking men of the entire country. A supposed necessity led to the withdrawal of onehalf of the property of the country from taxation. Heavy, very heavy taxes have fallen upon the poorer dashes as the result. And it is tbe all absorbing topic out upon the greensward of the country which cannot be hushed or bliuked. It seems to be our duty, therefore, to meet this subject farely and squarely, and to concede that which everybody knows, that the existing taxatioj laws are defective and burdensome upon tbe poor. "Wc deaiie to say, with the fullest emphasis we can give to any subject, that we are opposed to any aud every attempt at repudiation of our taxes or our public debt High public conaiderstions require the levied taxe to be paid and tbe pledged fitith of :l.e Government to be up held. Kepectirjg thi? we must t ot be misunder stood. o deüire to say, moreover, that wc do not complaia of Ccnjres or tbe Administration at Washington. We believe that both depart ments did the best they could under the circum stances. But such ine'i'jalities of burdens have resulted from the laws enacted that one half of the property of the country is required to pnv the taxes which ought to fall on tbe whole, und we should bo fakhlo if we did not take our position now in favor of the right. The laws which impose such unequal burdens ought to te revised And wo luve no doubt that they will be." I'lio .Militär)- Itictibu. U hinkten Special to the New York T il.utie.

Betote the war our yearly exp;e for the pay ment ot general ollicers was only about $'2iJ,(J00: whrea, i, will now be, including the paymeut of staff' officeis, at least $1 ,r5U,UU'J, or au increase of $1,530,000 over that formerly expended lor the name purpose. Many of the Departments to which from four to eight Mjor and Brevot Major Generals have been assigned, contain but a few regiments, and every one is looking out with considerable curiosity to see the disposition by the Depart ment commanders of the officers upon whom the Var Department expects them to confer impor tant commands.
