The Ulorleu Politicals Victory. In the almost absorbing attention to the miliary movements, we hope the public has not overlooked the glorious political victory which has just been gained in the North. It is more imp: i--taut in britiiiin a speedy termination to the war tli in a bloody field would have been. There has been srrMl anxiety in all quarters since the President's rem u kable proclamation. It was a grave question. It was directly upon the issue of for and against the Constitution. Il the Republican party succeeded we could have no hope for the Constitution hereafter. The only check remaining to us was in our Congress. If it failed ail was at an e.id, since the I-esideut. by one sweep of Executive (lower, had silenced the Judicial au tl...- P..UAI- UA.n.. I r k. f.J. ... 1. ...... i . . " " w tmmm uiimlii; oho i the hands of the Executive, and the Executive unrestrained either by past promises o. constitutional limits. We appeared to le fast I ipsiu iuto despotism, and to hug the chains that were . a-t lettering our limbs. We do not exaggerate in saying that the triumph of the conservatives in the North, was a triumph of republicanism against despotism, and as such should cheer the hearts of ail lovers of ' American institutions. It settles the question i a wueiaier wie i niou is sun io continue a r.e public. This is not all that l-.as been accomplished by this moiuentoiis election The ncro quest on was t iking a shape m ie dangerous than it had ever done before. The programme whs distinctly laid down to deprive the country of four million laborers, a loss which no country will stand in the midst ot pnseritr. In the furtherance of I his scheme, other evils, equally disastrous, would have fallen up u the country, since not ouly was the la: -or lost, but, accord in i: to Lincoln's tremeu- . dous emancipation ami I deportation scheme, a tax of unparalleled magnitude wouid have been laid upon the overhurthenel eople. Whatever K dc iMie nut li no sprung up ;n localises, tlr.s vis the main question, and leciion as decisive we mty look upon the ; It has been of no less momentous importance in another respect, to wit: In queliing the re bei I ion It could be set down as a sell-evident proposition that the Uuion could not be restored upon the Abolition platform It was the height of insanity to believe that the S iuth would ever submit to a Government which fav ored negro insurrections Every impulse of resistance wat called out. It could not be expected that they would yield, while they hail a man or a dollar, to a power which propose to cid up the horrors ot St. Domingo in a population of eight millions of fiee white people. They never would submit. and no human man could wish them to submit to such an atrocity. The election has deprived the rebels of this element, which wouid certainly insure unity mid desperation among them The tendency ol the ejection to -h.,rv to t he Southern people that, while it is resolved to continue the war until tlte restoration of the Union, ' yet it is not the intention to subjugate the Siuth, or to deprive them of rights enjoyed by their sis- I ter States; and it is the fear of this, we fruily believe, which has prolonged the present contest. Let the Siethen) Staler know that they wBI enjoy the protection guaranteed to them by the Constitution and we believe they wall wil.inglj return to titer allegiance They seceded for fear they would be deprived of their right;, and the S)Utheni politicians have persistently inculcated the idea that they would be robbed. We hope and believe the effect of the election will go far to remove any sm-h impression In every war we regard it as the triumph of truth, justice, and freedom, and congratulate the ; country upon the result. Louuville Drmocrut ' Addrcft of T. A. B. elom to the People of F,at Tenne In all the speeches which I made to vou in the and summer of 1661 , as well as in a print to the people of the State, on or about the 3th of May, Id6l, I declared, in gutwtance, that if I had believed it was the object of the North to subjugate the South and to emancipate our slaves, in violation of the Constitution, I would hare gone as far as the farthest in advocating resistance to the utmost extent. My attention has just been called to a proclamation issued by the President of the United States on the 23d of September, 162, id which he declares that "on the first day of Jaunary, in the yetr ol our Lord oue thousand eight I undred and sixty three, all persons held as slave, within any State, or any designated pwrt of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall bo henceforward tr.d forever tree, and the Executive Government of the United Slates, including the military and naval authority, will recognize and maiiitun the free dorn of such persons, and will do no wet or acts to renresa such persons, or any of Ihem, in any efforts they may make for their actual free dom." I need scarcely remind you that ot.e of the evils whieh I dreaded and predicted as the results of the efforts which were made ni dissolve the Union waa that, in the progress of the WW, they

mi-iht open the way for servile insurrection and overthrew of the institution of slavery, llj opinion as to the unconstitutionality and impolicy ot secession remain unchanged; but in my last speech in Congress, and on various other pi.blic occasions, I have vindicated and main tained, and still maintain, theright of revolution. On no occasion, however, did I ever assert the doctrine that a violation of the Constitution by one parly would authorize or justify similar or other violations bv the OMMM nartv. The

paramount causes which hare controlled or inrluenced my conduct and opinions were love for ! the Union and mi unshaken confidence that we bad the best Constitution mid Government in the ' world. But, of all the nets of despotism of which the ciril war in which we are now eneagel lias been the prolific source, there .rönne source, mere is not one which, in the slightest degree, equals the atrocity and barbarism of Mr. Lincoln's proclamation. ! At one blow it deprives all the citizens of the slave Stales, without distinction of the right to j hold slaves a right guaianteed by the very Con- j atitution he pt et ends to uphold. It is true, he i makes an intimation that he will recommend to ! Cougrem to provide just compensation to Union ' masters in the slave States; bat what right ha ! he or the Govern tnent ol the United Jsutea to deprive them of this property without their consent? And what assurance have they that his vague and general intimation will be applied to them, or that an Abolition Congress, reeking with the blood of the South, and jubilant m the possession of usurped power, will adopt his recommendation? We are in the midst of a sea of difficulties. Many acts have been done in the South to which we were bitterly opposed as a people, and which we who have adhered to the Union, in spite of petils and dangers, could not justify or palli te But the Union m n of East Tennessee are not now, and never were. Abolitionists. The Union men ol Kast Teniievie nie not now, una never have beenvconiniitted to the doctrines of incendiarism and murder to which Mr Lincoln's proclamation le ids Whit, then, is the path of.'dutv in the trying eircumstanct s which surround us? Is it to belie all our p tat professions and to sustain Mr. Lincoln's Administration, right or w ron-? Is it to justify a man whom we had no agency in elevating to power, not only in abandoning the Constitution of the United Slates, but in reputli ating the Chicago platform, his inaugural ad dress and messages to Congress, in which the ab solute right to slavery in the States where it exI ist was distinctly and unequivocally conceded? I Or is it in view of 'A.e mai.y violations of the 0 'i.stltution, and tills crowning act of usurj nation, to join that side which at present afj lords the only earthly hope of successful re i sistaiice' I am aware, my countrymen, that you will find difficulties in bringing your minds to the same couclus-oii at which my own has arrived. M uiv wanton and unauthorized acts of cruelty and oppression have been ierj-etratcd among you which instead of changing ur opinions have onlv been calculated to aggravate mid intensify a heroic ' principle of endurance. Many of these acts have ! been committed in remote places, without the knowledge or approbation of the authorities a; Richmond, or of those who have held the su prerne command Ifl East Tennessee, and under 1 such circumstance- that you have felt it dangerous to complain. Gradually and slowlv these I outrages have at last become known, and in the i very recent proclamation issued by Major Genen! Jones, you have the assurance that vom com plaints will lie heard und the most energetic me.-.s ures adopted to remedy the evils to which vou have been subjected. Let not, then, a sense of private and present wiongs blind you against the enormities already perpetrated and still more seriously contemplated : by Mr. Lincoln's Administration. If a majority of the Republican party have been sinners in their professions of a determination to respect the 1 rights of slavery in the States, and if the liuht of freedom is not utterly extinguished in tue North, may we not hope that a spirit ot resistance w ill be j aroused in that section, w liich. combined with the j efforts of the South, will hurl Mr Lincoln from power, and even yet testore peace and harmony i to our distracted and divided couutrtl But if,! through fear or any other cau-e. Mr. Lincoln's infamous proclamation is sustained, then we have M Union, no Constitution to struggle lor, no Magnificent ami unbroken heritage to maintain, no peace to expect save such as with the blessing i of Providence we may conquer. The armies which have been sent near you to : antnlize you with hope have been withdrawn, una won cool Muoaatv yr L. ncoin virtu iiiv teils . . YOU that VOU llaVC no rights. No alternative re mains but to choose the destiny which an MfO cant and unprincipled Administration forces up- j on us. It is almost unnecessary to declare to you that I adhered to the Uuion amidst good rejiort and evil report, suffering and danger, while it was in ' my power to support it. and that, when my efforts weie paralyzed and my voice silenced by causes ; that all might yet he well ; but oevoiai mi control, l nave clieii-heo th hoie the last link la i broken that bound me to a Government tor ! i which my ancestors fought, and, whatever may tie the course of others, I shall feel it my duty to j encourage the most perseveriuc nd detei n.'inel resistance against the tyrants and usurpers of the j ! Federal Administration, who have blasted our ho: - and ure cruelly seeking to de-tro the I i-t vestige of freedom among us. It vou would i sive yourselves from a species of carnage imex i ample 1 in the history of North America, but un ; equivocally invited in Mr Lincoln's prod t ma : tion. let every mar. who is able to tight buckle on his armor, and, w ithout awaiting the slow and te dii u process ol conscription, at once volunteer in the struggle against him The race is not al ways to Hie switt nor the troiiir. and it cm not. j 1:,. nature of things, be possible that a just God will prosper the efforts of a man or a Government which has hypocriticall v pretended to wage war in behilf of Ike Constitution, but now throws off the mask and sets it utterly at deli ance. No desp it in Europe would d re to exer cie the powers which Mr. Lincoln, in less than two brief years. las boldly usurped, lie has bus pciided the writ of habeas corpus in regard to all persons who h-'ve been or may be imprisoned by military authority, and thus dr-trojed ihe right essential to the liberty of the citizen, aright which the mailed baron of England wreste 1 by force from King John, and inserted in the great charter of Biiti-li freedom; a right which it cost centuries of contest to engraft upon the British constitution; a right for which our fathers sternly struggled, and which is incorporated in every ! American constitution, lie has called armies into the field without authority, according to his ; own acknowledgment, and has become a military ; dictator. Ke bow claims the preiogative to j abolish slavery without our consent ; and, if he can thus take our negioes, why may lie not take our lands, and everythiag else we possess, ami reduce us to a state of vassal. ice to which no parallel can be found, save in the history of the Middle Age- Tiios. A R. Niciaon. Knoxville. October 3, 1862. From the St. Louis Republican Tue Popular Kcvoliilioii. Hallelujah! The wisdom, the judgment, and 1 the patriotism of the people their ability to gov em themselie has again leen asserted in the result of the recent elections in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylv ania; ami we have a right to shout Hallelujah! The people have engaged in a revo lution which is to woik out their politic . I salva tion. and to bring back all the States to a glori ous Union first in discanliug, as they are now, the faithless servants who have brought these monstrous troubles upon the country, and putting in their places men who will seek assidiously to aid the President in the adoption of such measures as will insure the icstoration of peace and the Union of the States. No political revolution has e er been sccom plished under equally adverse circumstances, and vet no revolution was ever more thorough and astonishing than that which was achieved by the ; people of Ohio and Indiana, and in all probability : Pennsylvania, on Tuesday last. No army yet mar-haled in the field against the rebel hosts could have hoped, in its most sanguine moments, lot so splendid a vi tory; a victory, tos. achieved j without the lose of a single life without any es ! Inordinary excitement without the expenditure i of hundred of millions of money but simply by j the aid of the ballot-box that mute instrument to which we bar been referred bv Gen. McClel ' Ian for the settlement ol ail our political ami sec liooa differences; and to which, if Southern j Stales and Southern Congressmen had been true i to theoneltrM and the Union, the appeal would not hare been made in rain! The rotes of the States last Tuesday show it the votes to be given on the 4th of November will confirm it. Rerolu tion eomsaenced under such auspices nerer go backward.'

Al) but four of the fanatical representatives of radical abolitionism have been driven into obscurity by the voice of the people of O do Such, at lea: is the look of things now. The rote upon the State ticket will how a m iforitt of twetito .lioua.iiid ig'tin.-t Abolitionism, in a 8MM which gave President Lincoln forty four thousand t otes over Douglas. Of all the radicals now in Con gress. Ashley ia the only one left to point the finger of scorn at! Indiana has also done nobly. She has left Dunn and Colfax at home, and elected a majority of Democrats pot -.-bly all except three to the next House of Representatives elected u Legislature which will make choice of a true

Union man a man who will give to the Constitution and the 'Jovemment an eirnst and hearty support and then clinched all by giving to the Slate ticket a majority of at least ten thousand. From Pennsylvania, we are without na full . counts, but this very iact justifies the belief that nil i- right there. The defeat of Grow , the Ab olitioa Speaker of the House, is as good an in dex as w-e want of the extent of the revolution in that State, ami we are content to wait lor det dls Meuiwhile, all hail to Ohio, Indiana and Perm sylvnuii thev are redeemed from the curse of Alnditiorrism. What eise remains? The revolution will go onward with the force of an aval.tnehe. The people are weary mid disgusted with that radica.isin o prevalent in the present Cunuresg, which would destroy the Governmen'. sooner than give up politic il power. New York next month will vote more over wheliuingl.v against tint radicalism than Ohio has done. Massachusetts is ptep.ringto follow suit. Michigan will be revolutionized, and the "blood letting" Chandler will share the fate of Sumner in Massachusetts. New Jcr.-et will be all right, and our near neighb ir, Illinois, nev er out done in anything, will vindicate her reputation by electing a majority of conservative men 10 the House. She is aheady terribly aroused by tie attempt to Hood her territory w ith lite run away negroes, whose very presence is offensive to the people, and with whom thev do not want to come in contact in any way. While this good work is being done in those Stales, Missouri should not be found wanting in the hour of trial. From Cincinnati Price Current, Oct. 22. financial and t omm-rrial Summary for the I'att Week. I he speculttive movement in most kinds of produce, led to an increased demand for money, and the market has, thereibie, been less , but all good pter offered was taken at 8alÖ per cent. Gold has fluctuated largely and suddenly, and a large decline has been established, partly owing to the lad of its haying been excluded from the New York stock board, and bankers re fusing to make loans upon deposits of it, on the f rounds that the speculative movement had been lostet ed by the previous course, and the credit of the Government theteby injured. This caused immense agitation in the m iket for coin in all the leading markets, ami the week "has been as rem .rkable for a general decline in prices of produce as the previous week was lor an advance Important changes were of hourly occurrence, ana prices became greatly unseUied. Exchange on tt.tr Eastern cilies has not u Mergone any al terat on; the demand has bten moderate. Silver declined in the same proportion as gold, and M did demand notes, but at the close the ranket for all had assumed a steadier aspect, and was tinner under the advices front New York. The cl'isiug quotations were as follows last evening: BUYING SELLING. New York par W pi em. Gold 'Z4((2ö mem. Im nrem. Silver prem. 25 prcm. ! Demand Notes .20(r2 prem. The buoyant and excited market mentioned in I our last, for the leading articles of ptoduie, Ins t been followed by a large decline in prices and a ' week of (treat depression. The decline in gold I linnet ved speculators, and thev generally withdrew Irom the rutiket. I he previous week thev ' acted as il 40 er cent. prem. was the normal value of gold; but the past eek they wondered they weie not able to f erceivc the absurdity of M an opinion. Then they thought they built their theories of mi advance upon a solid bisi; but now ihev feet that il was as unstable as the winds. It is true that ti e prices of all kinds of foreign goods, mid most articles of domesticgoods, and inu-t articles of domestic produce, will be riv.ul aied by the price of coin; but it is just as certain that il will be regulated by the m inner in which the rebellion is suppressed, or In other words, the war prosecuted, and as this is extremely uncertain, it necessarily follows that there is great uncertainty regarding the ups aud downs of prices. Fiour advanced $1 and wheat 15c, but ail this was lost early in - he week, and supe: tine flour, which had advanced to $6 30, declined to $.. and lin n advanced to $5 2ä. Wheat went up to $1 21) for red but fell back to $1 and closed al $1 11. Com did not undergo much change, but oats advanced to 50c lor new and 55c for old Rve went up to Mi but tell back to 61. Bailey verv scarce, and Wi-.nted at $1 25a 1 .'JO. Whisky advanced to 34c but clones dull. Butter is 2i3e higher and the supply wholly inadequate to the demand. Cheese advanced to 91.,, and iii good demand. Linseed oil is held at $1 la 05, but lots of any magnitude would not bring these rates ou arrival. Lird oil is 10c higher, and in good demand. Star candles are 1 1 2c higher, and tallow candles i lc. Soap has advanced I he stock of star is very light, and the tendency is still upward. Mess pork adv uruedio $11. and 1,0th) brls. j citv .-old at this rale, but subsequently it was ot feted at $10 50 without fin i:ng buyers. Hulk ! meats and bacon have been held firmly, but the ' trade in them has been light, the ouly demand being that from ihe Gov ei nnient. Iiulk shoul ders may be quote! at 4)c Smoked at 44'c ; loose, though held at 5c; bulk sides 5'jand smoked . do at 54 i6, the latter rate including packages 1 Clear sioes are still offeied at bjc packed. Noih- i ing done in laid fur the want of stock. Butch . , f Dl l eis is t-.Ken as qoicK as ii is m:iue ni oaac, packed in tierces, and r-c without cooperage. Grease is very s -arce. ami orders of any magnitude for it could not lie filled. Silt is in active demand, and prices higher Coarse Liverpoo' is up to $2 50 per big; tine, the same; Syracmt, $!i 5" per bil, aud the supply not nearly eipial to ihe demand; Turk's Island, 56a 5"c; Kanawha and Muskingum, 60c per bu-hel. The rebels have escaped from the Kanawha Valley. Thev did not destroy the salt works, as has been retioried. and d d not succeed in securing over 3,000 barrels salt, mid a portion of that they left in the mountains, for want of transportation. No Salt, however, can be brought from thenco until there is a rise in the river. The grocery market has been firm, and sugar is Vjc higher, and coffee 2c higher, but the Mar ket closed quiet though holders were firm. The Government demand continues good for sugar, coffee ami lice, which tends to swell the business doing. There is very little New Orleans molasses in the market and hardly enough is doing in it to establish quotations. Sugar house is sell in -r at 4eVi52c, and ilia this kind which sup;. lies the place of New Orlevtis. The crop of Sorghum raisei the past summer is beyond all previous precelent, and there is no doubt that the molasses made from it will conetitute the chief consumption this ve.tr throughout the interior. The process of making it has been greatly improved, and the quality of that now being made is good, and the syrup, when refined, is very superior. Pepper, allspice and all kinds of spices are higher, though the demand is light. Beef citlle are 25c higher and the demand has been good; one of our packers bought quite freely. The receipts add up 1,200 head, and the market closed firm at $3 24 for prime. Sheep are in good demand at $.'la3 50 per cental gross. The demand for hogs has beet: quite activeand prices are 25c higher, prime fat bringing $3 75 gros. With regard to tiie demand for delivery in the packing season, the week opened with an active demand, ami about 7,000 bead sold at $4 50 for November, but the decline in gold and sterling exchange wholly unsettled the market, and buyers fell back to $4a4 25, and holders who had been asking $5 were anxious to contract at $4 50, and so the market closed. There is no doubt that the high prices will increase the crop, as it has induced feeding to a larger extent than had been anticipated or intended bv farmers, while the price was nominally $3 or thereabouts. The advices we hare from the interior lend us to the conclusion that the crop will be fully as large as it waa last season, and the hogs well

tutted. The anangemeuts made to pack for the English and ether maikets in the Old World, exceed anything ever thought Of betote, and, unies some mighty change sh-Miid take place be tw een this and the middle of December, the great bulk of the crop will be picked in boxe-, snd it and the lard shipped to England and the conti neu; and the high price ol cooperage and the un usually large slock of old brl. pork on hand, will deter dealers from packing in this shape. This being the case, then, the price will be regulated altogether by the rates of .terlirig exchange, and that by the prosecution of the war; and hence it is thai we regard the trade in pork prospectively in a dangerous position. It in ty prove profitable or the teverse, the chances beiajr about equal in both aspects of the case. It quite probable thai ihe competition will be streng, and that this will lead t. Irgh prices seem Inevitable.

Special CorreapoTKlei.cs) of Ovw Chicago Tim. . From Wasstinajton. Gen Scott' letter to tin President Tite Pre dictum the Old Uo Fat lied Necessity for a JfuVion nf D'rihne4'tfopr'' Army must hare one Head, and that Head must be Gen McCleUan. Washington-, Oct. 16. The remarkable letter of Gen. Scott to the President, w ritten on the day before Mr. Lincoln's inauguration, and sent to him through the Secretary of State, mid which is now for the first time made public, has created the most profound im-prcs-ion here No one can be found to doubt the patriotism ot Winfield Scott, no onecati be found to doubt his wisuom, the fruit of the experience of a long li le spent in the public service. There is piobablv no man liv ing who li s a more highly cultivated mind than Winfield Scott, or is bettet able to judge upon all questions affecting the welfare of nations, mid particularly of this nation. The views of such a man, therefore, upon the national crisis, me being pondered uoon by public men here, with an earnestness that may result in go,.d Prince John Van Buren is certainly en titled to the national thanks for making the document public It is startling to see how actually the oid hero's predictions have been fulfilled. Instead of re quiring, as Gen. Scott supposed, 35,000 troops and no lortitit,ali( i - to defend Washington, it is now found necessary to keep 150,000 troops here, and even with that immense force, and with the thirlv-two strong forts around the citv. Washing ton is not regarded as safe vet! And in the midst of ul! this tremendous military array, the friends of the President are clamoring for a siiong body guard to attend him, becau-e, as they allege, he is in danger of assassination! The Piesident himself very sensibly de-qiises these groundless leirs. But to quiet the apprehensions ol these officious friends, he came riding into town a few days ago with a private soldier bundle'! into the carriage with him mid another one mounted on the 'iox with the driver, Iwth armed with their loaded blundet busses! Such are his ideas of the stale in which au American Piesident ought to ride. Bot to return to Gen. Scott's letter. It will be observed that he says the South may be conquered i three years by mi annv of 300,0tK) disciplined trcups, led by a young and able Gen ; eral, such a one as he said, seven mouths after- I wards, McCleilan has proved himself tob. Un ' der the most favorable circumstances, it cannot j be extected that the work can be accomplished I in less lime than he has spec 'tied Half Ihe time 1 I :s now elapsed. But, so far from being halt' i throoeh w ith ihe task, it has just commenced, or, I i rather, we are worse off now, so far as any pros- j t pect of a successful termination of the war is i I concerned, than we were at the beginning. In j j stead of. Richmond being attscked. it is Wash- : ington that is beleagmed. Instead of invading i the S t!th, we are virtually st mding on the dej fensiv e, mid the northern Slates are beiii invaded ami the northern t.-vvn eaptmeO Although we have thiee times 500,000 tno; s in the field, we i have n t got 300,000 disciplined troops, nor more j than one third that many. The South has now j 500,000 disciplined troops; and it is very evident, j from the experience of the past sixteen months, j that an equal number M our troops cannot cn ; I quer an equal number of southern troops. It is j j not the fault of the men; they tight well enough. ' ! It is not altogether the fault of the officers; many j i of them me brave, skillful and prudent enough, j I although some of them are neither skillfui.nor ! prudent. But it h an inexorable rule of military i science a rule that has received the sanction of j all military histoiy, from the times of Alexander I the Great, Crcs;tr and Hant)wr, down to the time I of Napoleon that no nation can be conquered j unless the attacking army is from one third ! larger to twice as large as the nation which is at ! tacked; ami not always then. Our exr.ei ience, therefore, I sav, has shown that we cannot conquer the South until we have in the field mi army ot a million of disciplined soldiers, under one head If the radiaal and Aliolitionists had not interfered with Gen. McClellau. and broken up his plans, we would have had that force now. As il is. and owing directly to that interlerence, and to ihe (act that the forces aud lesources ot the rebels have been con stantl v undenated, w e have just one tenth ot that j manv. Under the eneigetic rule ot Gen. Casey, j how ever, and ow ing to the wise plan of tilling up j the old regiments with new recruits, nnd strengthening the old brigades and divisions with new I regiments, the number of our disciplined iroops is last increasing. But it must bo in borne in miud thai Genera Scott stipulates, as ore of the conditions without which the war cannot lie brought to a successful termination, that ihe at my is to be led by a young and able general. In sev en months after this let ter was written, the old General, admonished by the weight of years, was obliged to retire from active serv ice During tl at interval, however, he had in iked the extraordinary abilities mani fesicd by one of ihe young (ieneials in the Union army, and, when he resigned his commission, it was with the express understanding with the Government that that young General should be his successor. The Piesident. in his annual mess: ?e ol Dec 3. 1861. says: "With the retirement of (Jen. Scott and the Executive duly of appointing in his stead a General in-Chief, neither in council nor country was there any difference of opinion as to the projier person i to be selected. And the person selected by the President, and designated by the retiring hero, was (General Georce B McCleilan. Now that i General Scott's lerer has been made public, I will say what I have known for the last five months, that General Scott believes now, and has I believed ever since the intrigues ol the radicals eaesed General McCleilan to lie remo veil from ; the chief command, that the war will not be ! brooch' to a successful termination until General j McCleilan is restored to that position, and left ! untrammeled to carry on the campaign. The las' paragraph in the third plan suggested j bv General Scott ought to be deeply pondered on I bv statesmen nil over the country, and it may yet avert frtim us some ot the calamities mat seem looming up in the future. Fifteen devastated provinces, once States, to be held for generations to come by large garrisons of troops, followed by a Protector or an Emperor; with the people of I the Northern States ground down by the weight ! of a taxation that can never be paid, and every j Northern fortress made a bastile for the incarI ceration of innocent men, whose only crime will be th.' t of invoking the Constitution, this does not constitute a pleasant picture for the contem plation of theaonsof revolutionary aires. God bless General Scott! When he is in his grave, the American people will honor his memory as the last of the great patriots. X. Ninth DisTaicr.

Wfccre! Where are the radicals' "three times three nun dred thousand born and naturalized Yankees." who were to "Anarch" when they heard ihe "chorus of universal human naturet" Nearly a mouth has passed since the aforesaid chorus was raised, but not one of the radical party hare gone forward. Where are tbey? What are they doing? e The Ninth niatrict. This District did noblv in the recent election Tfo years ago Colfax carried it by 3,402 majority. Now if he is elected it is only by a meagre vote The eutir Democratic ticket has been elected in nine out of the fourteen counties in the District and two Senators and five Representatives to the L-gilature. Weil dooe Democracy of tbe Ninth District. How in It Now! During a late visit al Louisville Governor Mokto! stated to a coterie of his political frienda. that the success of the Republican party in the election then soon to take place in this State would be inevitable. He gave as reasons for the conclusion, that all the influential men of Indiana, all the elite of Indiana society, all the patronage of the national and State Governments, were exerting their influence for that result. These considerations he thought sufficient to warrant his

expressing the most undoubted confidence in the success of his party friends. Like the magician he considered it ouly neeoMaw to move Iii wand ovtr the Slate to direct the thoughts and action of the people into the channel he desired. But the delusiou of the Governor was not more complete than the illusion produced by the most accomplished professor of the magical art. He tried the trick of turning rice into bon bons. but w hen he opened his box the rice, and not the bon bons, would appear. His Excellency and a good many other foolish people may learn one lesson from the recent expression of public sentiment in Indiana, and that is that "influential" people and the "elite" of society the bubbles that float upon the surface may exercise a very powerful influence upon ublic sentiment when upon the riht side, but when upon the wrong track they have to go where the wind listeth. It is evident that the Republican leaders have a very different impression of public opinion since the election from what they had before If not better, perhaps they may be wi-er men, if it is possible for ihem to learn wisdom. Tito recent Election in Indiana and the rraon for their fief rut at y i v n ty tlic K publican I. en der. The smoke ol the battle has now passed away we hav e a view of the field and tiie Democratic banner waves in triumph. Our majority in the Sine is counted by many thousands. We have seven of the eleven members ot Congress, and both branches of the Legislature. At first the leaders of the Republican party w ere stunned by the blow but now they labor to assign reasons for the result, which may excite hope in their followers for tbe luture. That which they make prominent, and repeat most cat ne-tly is, that so many soldiers were absent from the State; and lkv ..a.iro .1 ... . ..... ti, 1. ..I ,1... . I .... - i ll. VO 1UIIUIICIO Villi I IttU IUI 9UIUICID been at home the election would have resulted otherwise. Upon what facts is this statement made? It is not shown, nor can it be shown, thai a majority of the soldiers from Indiana are Republicans. A comparison of the number of voluuteers lrom the strongest Democratic district and the strongest Republican district of the Slate, would justify the statement, that there are largely more Democrats than Republicans in the army lrom ludiaiia. It is well established that of the soldier who were permitted to go home from their encampments in the State to vote, and those wiio were at home as panned prisoners, & large proportion, perhaps two thirds, voted the Democratic ticket. 1 his was perhaps uot the case in two of the districts, but that it was so in the State there is sufficieut assurance. The soldiers appreciated the issues. They knew the questions that were to be decided, and they felt that their pride of position, and their future interests required them to vote the Democratic ticket; and had the army been at home, and the soldiers among their friends in thedifl'ereut neighborhoods, the Democratic msjority would have been increased many thousands. When ibey were called upon to volunteer they were assured, in the sentiment of the Crittenden resolution, that they were to fight for the testoraiion of tbe Uniou, and tiie maintenance of the Constitution, and they fell such a call to be high aud honorable aud a warfare in such a cause worthy the sac ritice of CO' ri, and the hazard of their livesBui now, aber they are in the field, when thev see a powerful effort made by the Abolitionists aud radical men to pervert the war, and to make it no longer a war for the Union and ihe Constitution, but to free the negroes, every high consid eration leads them to support the Democracy in the patriotic struggle to defeat such effort. When the war is over, nnd the rattle of small arms aud the roar of tbe cannon shall have ceased, the soldiers wish to sec our jLlerious bauner still float ing, with every star upon it, the Union restored, with the rights and dignity of each State preserved, aud the Constitution and laws maintained in their lull vigor. For this they tight in the field; and for this the Democracy contend at tbe ballot box. The heart of the Indiana volunteer, and of the Indiana Democrat, beats in common tor the Union and the Constitution, aud not for a system of emancipation ol the negroes and when they staud together at ihe ballot box. either dining, or ut the close of the war, their ballots will express the same sentiment. To trample upon the Constitution of their country, to crush out the reserved rights of the Slates, and to tree the negioes is not the warfare the Indiana soldierv expected; and the defeated politicians need not expect to better their fortuues by an appeal to them, uuless that appeal be made in the name of tbe Constitution, and iu the cause of the ! Uuion, and not in the name and lor tbe cause of the negro. When this war ia over thousands of our sol- 1 diers will return to Indiana again to resume their industrial pursuits, and tbey will not conant to come iu competition with free negro labor. If the scheme of emancipation and Abolition is carried out we must expect our State to , be filled, and tbe streets and pavements of our j towns and cities to be crowded with free negroes, and then the laboring man, whether he has been in the army or at home, and whether his labor be ' upon the farm in the shop, or upon the street, must compete with the negro; his labor must be degraded w hen it is performed by the aide of an inferior, and il must be cheapened when that la- , bor is sought by tire inferior. The defeated poli- ! ticiana of ludiaua must abandon this emancipation policy, which strikes at tbe honor and remuneration of labor, before tbey can repair their fortunes by an appeal to Indiana's working men or Indiana's soldier v Let them raise the stand aid of the Uuion and tbe Constitution and tbe rights and dignity of the States preserved and unimpaired, and tbey may again be heard. There need be no tell-deception in relation tc

the late election. The leaders of the party that came into power two years ago to win success, made great promises to the people, and they have not redeemed those promises, nor sought to redeem them, and a disappointed and indignant people have administered a tebuke Inefficiency, partiality and corruption have pervaded the public service, and a just and honest people have passed their verdict upon it. The Constitution has been trampled upon and the citizen imprisoned and denied a trial, and a Constitution loving and just people have demanded a restoration of their rights. Abolitionists have sought to control the policy of the Ad ministration and to place their purpose above the Constitution of the country and to make the supposed interest uf the negro paramount to the rights of tbe white man, nod a great people, mighty in their conservatism, have now said to President Lincoln, We stand by you in the restoration of sha-VeivD, in the roniut-enance of tbe Constitution aud iu the enforcement of the lawg, but we demand that the institutions of our country, as our fathers msde them, shall be preserved, and that fanatics aud extreme men shall not interpose their policy between the Constitution and the people. Iu kindness, but frankly, weay to the defeated politicians of Indiana, vour course has lost you the confidence ol the people, and that confidence has again returned to the stable ami ancient Democratic party, and the voice of the people on last 1 uesday is the result. Tlicy Die Hard. The radicals profess uot to understand tbe occasion of their overw helming defeat in the elections of last week. They attribute it to everything but the right cause. In some cases they say it was by fraud and in others that it was owing to the absence of the soldiers. These apologies are as idle as theaiid. If frauds were committed it was upon the part of the party in power and this will be demonstrated at the proper time. In a piecinct not far from this city it can be shown that thirty Democtatic voles were put ia the ballot box and only ten were counted out. In other localities similar outrages were committed, as will be proven Aud it cau not be successfully denied by any candid Republican who was at '.he polls during the afternoon of the election in this township but that hundreds of illegal Republican votes were shamelessly deposited in the ballot-box-Neither did the absence of the soldiers from this State, the sous ot Indiana who volunteered to battle for the restoration of tbe Union and the maintenance of the Constitution, occasion the recent political triumph. If they had been at home, their votes would have made the victory the more overwhelming. The causes of the disaster to the defeated party are too plain to be misunderstood or misrepresented. It was a verdict of the people against the ultra ladical meas

ures which have been forced upon the country in i violation of the most solemn pledges of Con- j gress and the Administration, and a condemna- ! tion of the frauds and mal administrations w hich have characterized the nartv iu power. It is a slander iqon tbe soldiers of Indiana to charge that they would take issue with their fathers and brothers at home upon the questions which were involved and passed upon at the recent election. They are not fighting to destroy the Union and overthrow the Constitution, hence they could not have voted, it they had had the opportunity, for measures which, if successful, can not fail to result in the destruction of both. And when the soldiers return and speak through the ballot box, it will be found that their vote will be with their brethren at home in condemnation of radicalism. and the fanaticism and ra6fility which have well ' nigh ruined the country and destroyed the gov ! eminent of the fathers. The radicals pretend not to understand that ' they have becu weighed in the balance, ; and found wanting. Aud their defeat I would have been the more complete if thousands ! bad not Deen artfully led to believe by desiguing ) and corruptive politicians that the Government and the admini-tration are iudeutical, and that a condemnation of the ultra measures of the latter would lie a blow- at the former. The election has dispelled this illusion. The verdict thus 6o significantly rendered will be approved by the j great body o( the American people, and the result ' .... . . ... 1 J. wiii be the crushing out oi Aooiiuouism anu ia uatici.-m. the consummation of which is the only hope of restoring the Union and giving renewed vitality to the Constitution. It is not strange that the radicals die hard, when they tee that the power for which they have so long struggled must soon pass from them. Kecroes Preferred. One or two thousand able bodied black refugees aM employed in the Quartermaster's De partment here nnd npen the defenses about Washington at reduced wages. The amount saved ou the difference bei ween their pay and that of white laborers is much more than sufficient to support the five or8ix hundred colored women and children in the Government hands. This is derived from official persons, who say the contrabands are really n source of Government profit. So writes the Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat. This only gives preference to niggers over white laborers, whose wives and children may starve for all that the Abolitionists care, if only the negro women and children are provided for. The next move is to substitute tbe "colored gentlemen" in place of white mechanics, and so on until the darling idea of the Jacobins, that the nigger is equal to the white man, and "mote so," is practically operative. Writ of Habeas Corpus. When the English Parliament declared in 1678 that this was " a great and efficacious remedy," they apparently spoke for the present age, as well as their own, and especially for this nation, aa its existence in our National and most of the State Constitutions fully testifies. At the present time, however, this safeguard against the encroachment of an absolute prerogative can uot be enumerated among the rights of the American citizen ! The British Government did not dare to override it, even in the case of Napoleon, when they held him a prisoner on board tbe Belteropkon but hurried him off to eea, and to his island prison in the southern hemisphere, without regard to the safety of the ship or the preparations for the voyage, in order to avoid the great Writ of Liberty.

Joe. l rig his Influence. A Republican friend, speaking of the effect of Jok Wright's recent canvass of Indiana, says if is a remarkabla fact that with two or three exceptions the counties wherein he spoke tra given a large increased Democratic rote and the counties he did not visit gate a Republican gain. Aa an illustration, he stated that the Governor failed in his appointment in Warrick and Posey and there the Republican vote is largely augmented' but io Jackson, Floyd, Vanderburg, Sullivan, Vigo, Allen, tc, fcc, bis influence was moot deleterious to the cause he espoused, aa ia shown by the large increase in the Demociatic vote. The Governor boasted that he had made seventyfive speeches during the canvass and behold tha result! If be had made one hundred and fifty they would have added twenty thousand to tha Democratic majority. We suggest these facts for consideration te the ohiloeophiziog aiind of the learned pig of the Journal, aud in connection inquire whether Job Wbight has been worth to the Republican causa the price paid for him by our Republican friends. We ra.her think they won the elephant in the raffle, and lhat they will find tbe keeping of him rather an expensive business. They have got him on hand to provide for anyhow, and he is a mighty hungry man. The political somersault of the ex Governor, and iu results, will point a moral, if it will not adorn a tale. Tbe moral ia, it is always safer to slick to your principles aud your friends. Another Kink. The Journal since the election of Mr. LlXCOUT t j the Fresidency has ndvocated and favored a peaceful separation of the States jermittiiig all that desire ! to leave the old Union to go in peace aud establish a couleleracy of their own. It haa favored the war only for mercenarv cousiderations,becaue it and it- Iriends could nuke money Oat of it, mid not up m principle or policy, for did it not declare with great vehemence and solemnity that a civil war would be a thousand fold worse evil than the loss of a dt zen Stales? The Republican central organ has got a new kink. According to its theory the secessiou ol South Carolina, which it justified as being in harmony with tbe philosophy of our government and the revolutionary principle upou which it ia based, was a virtual dissolution of the Union. It so stated when the news came that lhat State had peaceably slid off from its connection with the balance of the Slates. It is now cautiously but artfully broaching a new idea a new combination for the Northwestern States Daily it insists that the result of the recent election iu Indiana and Ohio is a verdict of their people in laee of uniting the destiny of the Northwest and the South under one Government. It will not accept itself, or permit any one else to place a different construction of that expression of public sentiment. Knowing that it would be both im prudeoi and impolitic to openly advocate the idea which it says the late election emphatically da clares. it takes the next bast method of accomplishing that object by boldly avowing that tbe people by a large majority have decided for it. By repeating and reiffirming with great pertinacity and apparent candor ibis view of tha question, it hopes by familiarizing the public mind with the idea ol annexation to tbe Southern Confederacy, to finally persuade them to believe lhat that was their purpose wheu they deposited their votes in the ballot box. Tbe sentimeut o( the poet will forcibly apply to this attempted demoralization of public sentiment by the Journal and its present policy: Vice is s monster of ao frightful mien, As ta be hated needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face. Wo irst endure, then pity, then embrace. Such is tha philosophy of the Journal. However repugnant to 'be people of tbe Northwest may be ihe idea of secession from tbe oid and union with the Southern Confederacy, it hopes by keeping the subject ever before them to make them "familiar with her lace," so that the mouster which al first tbey would have hated, they will "first eudure. then pity, then embrace." The Journal has also another purpose in view in its new kink. It encourages and gives life to the rebellion by advertising to the South that a majority of the people of Indiana are traitors to their own Government aud are in favor of union with that of the rebela. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. Daniel Webster Committee. A.- the years waue the people more fully realize the greatness of Webster. What Shakspeark wrs iu literature, Webster was in statesmanship. He was ocean minded. There is scarcely a phase of our political affaire, eveu in these extraordiuary times, upon which his speeches do not furnish appropriate comment and wise counsel. Read this: I disdain, altogether the character of an uncommitted man. I am committed, fully com mittel; committed to the full extent of all that I am, and all lhat 1 hope, to the Constitution of lbs country, to its love and reverence; to iu defense and maintenance, o iu warm commendation to every American heart, and to its vindication and just praise, before all mankind. And I am committed against everything which, in my judgment may weaken, endanger or destroy il. I am committed against the encouragement of local parties and local feelings; I am committed against all; any aud every derangement of tbe powers of tbe several Departments of the Government, ag. nst any derogation from the constitutional authority of Congress, aud especially against all extension of the 'Executive power; and lam committed against any attempt to rule the free people of this country by the patronage of the Government itself. I am committed, fully and entirely committed, against making tbe Government the people's muster. Sixth District The following is tht vote for Congress in this the Sixth District:
