Extract from a Speech of Thomas II. Seymour or Connecticut. Now, gentlemen, I Bee around me

quite a number of naturalized c'.tizeos, nnd I wish to say a few words to them. The time has come when we may speak plain ly to each other. I ask you, my- friend?, what induced you to this county? 'To es cape tyranny,' Pon't think me impertinent for asking the question and giving the answer to it myself. Why did you leave the Rhine and the Rhone, and the borders nf Lake Geneva? Why did you leave Neufchatel and Constance? Why did you leave the Elbe and Scheldt, and thfl Ilagu? Why did you leave sunny Italy the scene of civil war-for mor than a hundred years, and why the vine-clad lulls of France? Why did you leave Caledonia, "stern fänd wild," and the sweet lakes that Viestle in the bosom of bills? Why did you leave Killarney and Killkenny, and those consecrated places where Curran and (Jrattan thundered against oppression, and Emmett laid down his life? Applanse. Why did you leave the graves of your kindred, in the Fatherland, "the God's are" of German v, and the church jards of the United Kingdom Why did you leave the historic scenes of tho old world where the Roman, the Northman, the blueeyed Goth have been, and where they have left the itr.pn it of their moral power, over brute force; t-cenjs where I have sometimes Ktood, as . it were, entranced, t il I seemed to be incorporated with the pist, whilst the ages surged by me. Why did you leave the bright, the beautiful, the trnder, the touching, the sublime why d;d you leave all thes for the new world? Better, perhaps, I have sometimes thought in these days of trial, that the good ship in which you embarked, had been stiandd ou the Freiu h, the German, or the Irish coast, at d you plucked f.om the remorseies3 wave -nut more cruel and remorse ie.-s than the wrath of man have returned to your native village, there to take up the burthen of life aain; better this than that you should have come here just to us e the sweets of liberty, ' and all at once havs tho cup dashed from your i'ps. Applause. And now for the answer: Yt-u came lu-ie to get rid of unjust law, of odi his taxes "that take from the mouth of la b r the bread which it has earned," to !g t rid of large armies and navies that a ut the substance of the people, to get rid of 5-tamp acts and conscription acts, to Le rid of provost inarhaU, and game ka?pe s and b:nnbalills, the ' instruments of the iron rule, (treat app!aue. You came hither to get rid of a vile system oCespotn yc, lr which our language has no name, nd to get rid of tho passport system that t. ps you at cnery frontier town till your pa hport ean bo riiol and stamped. You came where speech was free, and the 'preis was fi?e, where there, was trial by jury Ii re labor was honored, and man, the lord of" his little patch of ground, or, it nrny be, of his acres, could take his children to his arms and thank God that he was bom in a land of freedo n. Great cheering. This i; what you came for. And you came where civil and religious liberty had found an asylum and reared her temples to ju-tice and to the worship of the living God. But, merr o? foreign lands, you whom I have 6umetin.es wel corned to our shores, I am bound to tell you that in some things you have leen mieled, deceived, beguiled nnd cast, as it were, into the horrible pit. In the last jear a year which, for its violation of personal rights and disregard of constitutional obligations, should be stricken 'from the calendar the men in power, disregarding the nghta of the people under the constitution, have struck dow n; -in a succession of outrageous blows, many of the rights which you had acquired here, and the privileges, which you had begun to enjoy, and have renewed, here in our country, some of the worst features of the rotting dynasties of European and Asiatic countries. And now, gentlemen, your remedy is in your own hands. United together, and firm in your purpose, you may recover that which you have 1 ;st, and recover theso inestimable privileges in a constitutional way." Migiitv Dry.1 :A witty young rascal, passing through ati eastern town, wanted some whiskey, and knowing that it could only be obtained by a physician, wrote himself an order, signing it with hU own name, to which a learned M. D. wis attached, lie presented it at the drug store of a gentleman who, though unrecognized by him, soon proved to be an old acquaintance. '"Hello Frank," said he, "when did you get to be a dictor? "Fro not a doctor." "Why, what is that M. D. to your name for then?" Frank saw that he was caught, but determined to make the best of it, put on a very innocent look, and merely answered: "Oh, that's for Mighty Dry! Of course be got the whiskey.

Important Position of Archbishop Hushes 011 tho Washington lur patlona. See what Archbishop Hughes says in speaking of the terror of terrors the

Conscript law; "All the citizens of New York liable to military duty under this law can be called upon by the President whenever he shall deem it necessary, and on the refusal of any one of these to obey the call, he "shall be - deemed a descrtei, be arrested by the Provost Marshal, and sent to the nearest military post for court martial." If this is not the establishment of a military despottsm then we shonhh; like to know the true meantng-of the word. We have no hesitation whatever in saying that this law ia unconstitutional, and of course, not binding upon any citizens of. the United States, and since tho miscalled National Legislature has so fa exceeded its powers, the people must, undei- auch circumstances, look for protection to the only authorities that can, grant it, tho Governors of their respective States. We owe alle giance as citizens of the State of New York, to the Constitution nf that and in the exercise of his lawful authority we aTe solemnly bound by that obligation to sustain and support its Chief. Magistrate, whotr. that Constitution declares is the Commander 'in-Chiel of the military and naval forces of the State. Jf allegiance belongs to that regularly constituted power which, in the general community, affords protection to life and property.. tbn we say.our loyalty is pte-eraineiitly due to the United States, that instrument. no longer, affords protection to its citizens, and the only bar rier which now interposes - between the liberties of the people and the consolidating powers oi' a centralized despotism at Washington is.tle sovereignty of the Ute. "Let aot the williug to,ols of ibg recently initiated tyranny, io this country imag in that the Press is -to be deterred by the threats contained in this unconstitutional law against all who interfere with its opera tion. We have too much faith in ahe Executive cf the Empire Siale to suppose that he will ever sllow an administration which is sapping the very foundations ol constitutional freedom lo seize upon his fellow citizens as t'ie Russian autocia:t has attempted to do ivith tho ill-fated vielimes of his most fiendish rule in Poland. The moment such nn assault is made upon citizens' rights the last links that bind ti e Slates together will be rent assunder like to many cobwebs. The administration will then find,' when it is too late, that it is the States which constitute the. Republic, and that they are sovereign, that it is the p.wers which they have delegated that make up what is called the general government, they are the pillars w hich support j a grand. dome, and that the moment their supp-mis withdrawn, that part of the edi I sice must fill to the ground. j "We know there are men in our midst, for we have lately had disgraceful evidence of the fact, who would aid the newly constituted tyranny at Washington in riveting its fetters upon the people. Such men as sume to be the mouth-pieces of the conservative masses, hut they will find, when too late, that the trit-kery of the demagogue to which they have resorted will not save- them from the judgment ol an incensed and outraged -.people. Such mqn may imagine that the liberty of a nation is a thing of trilling value; but as long as the great heart 'of the people is right, their intrigues in the interests of American autocracy will prove a wretched failure. These are the enemies against which the geat statesmen of the Republic have warned U9 again and again; it is they who are ready to asist in undoing the work of the patriots ol the Revolution by ignoring the Constitution, and handing over the r ights of the people to a military dictator to put under bolt and bar. Such men can see no harm in the suspension of" the habeas corpus, in the suppiession of the liberty of the press, in the overthrow of State sovereignty, in the arbitrary arrest and incarceration in government dungeons of loyal citizens, in proclamations placing loyal and sovereign States under martial law and in invostir.g the so-called President of the United States with pupreme power above the Constilutiou, above State rights, above all law over the personal liberty of the citizen. Such things hi their estimation are mere bagatelle. .The- liberty for which the infant Republic waged a seven years' war against Great Brtain is to be bartered away, and for what? A military despotism not even such a despotism as they have in some parts of Europe but a despotism directed by men who have proved themselves weak in everything else but the will to destroy. They are ready to carry out lha conscription; but so long as they are the owners of three hundred dollars not one of them, we venture to say, will take the field." "Wo belivtve that our riht as a journal

ist to utter and print, and circulate freely and without danger of arbitrary arrest and incarceration, whatever we fiud to criticise

in the acts of the Administrationwe be lieve that our right to do this will be main tained by the Chief Executive of the Em piie Stale, and it is in this belief that we now exercise that Constitutional r'gl.t. des pite the. threats of military desptt.Mn and its base and venal adherents. "If the people are not fully aroused to tho dangers by which their liberties, not to speak of their sovereignty, are beset, they may soon loose both the opportunity and the power to preserve those priceless boons for which such great sacrifices were made. ' . The Arpest of Judge Cdxstarle. Of all the issues which a government in the United States can raise with the people ol a State, the most delicate and dangerous has just been raised in the great western State of Illinois. A judge, in the performance of his judicial duties, has been arrested under a w arrant from the War Department,carried out of h"s own State inio another, and 'held to bail' by a Major General in the military service of the Federal government. The facts in the case eeem to be few," simple and beyond dispute. White the Circuit Court of Clark County, in Illinois, was ic session, a woman appeared betöre a Justice of the Peace and made oath that two peröns from Indiana were attempting to kidnap her son, upon the charge that he was a deserter from the Federal army. The Justice thereupon issued a warrant for th arrest of the accused persons. They were brought before him, and at the request of their counsel, their case was carried before the Circuit Court. Judge Constable, ofthat Cnurt heard the cause. It was tsablished that a commission was in the .possession of the accused authorizing two persons named "to arrest deserters" in a certain district in In diaua. It was not shown that the accused wem the two persons named in this commission. Upon this, neither the question of desertion nor the, persons of any alleged desertion being before him. Judge Constable held the accused to bail to answer for the crime of attempted kidnapping in tie Stale of Illinois. These proceedings having been taken, Major General Wright, military commander in the Indiana district, sent an officer under his orders with a lorce of two him dred men into the State of Illinois; arrested Judge Constable, and conveyed him 0 it of the Slate, to answ er to the charge of protectiug deserters." We have called tlos matter the raising of au issue between the Federal Government and the people of a sovereign State. It might well warrant the use of strt nger language if any language could make the nature of such an outrage upon all policy and principle mure plain than it is made by the bare recital of the facts. The courts of law are the one final barrier between administrative violence and popular passion. To treat iheir decisions and the persons of the judiciary with respect is the only safety of the government against the people as well as the people against the government. It was 6aid the other d;y by Archbishop Hughes thai, however strong a government may appear, it is the weakest thing in ihe wrold; and the remark is one which the, authorities at a Washington will do well to lay . to heart. A government which disdains its constitutional connections with the life of the peo ple thereby throws itself into an attitude of antagonism with the people which leaves it entirely dependent for its very existence upon its owq resources. Where a government can ally itself with any powerful caste in the community, with a priesthood, a permanent army, a landed aristocracy, it may occupy such a position as this in comparative security for a certain time. In oar own country the government has ::bSvdutelv no life in itself. It has no reserve of permanent interests to support it, independent! f of the popular. will and feeling. The officials who administer it are certainly as liable to error as their fellow citizen?, and tho well knoffn effects of the possession of a "little . brief authority"' upon av Oiairo human nature should make them even suspect themselves of an increaed and peculiar exposure to mistakes. When tl ey coBio or bring themselves into collidiou,. therefore, with individual citizens who laiso a legal question referred to the tribunals which command an obedience nev er to le wrung by force alono from a free Slid high spirited people. If the government if not utterly infatuated and reckless, and it will recognize at once, and hasten, so far as lies in its power, to repair the dangerous blunder of its miltatv representative in Indiana. Such 'n invasion of the sword npon the gown is a "fire bell in the night," which should rouse the most unthinking to the perils which mad and passionate counsels are preparing alike for the people and for the 'overnment.

European Intervention. The frantic hope nursed in the minds of our fanatics that American difficulties would ultimately embroil Europe and enlist the co-operation of despotic powers, has come to a fatal end. The Polish 1 evolution has engaged the attention of the Old World, and the American war is now a bygone sensation. England has declared unequivocally in favor of Poland. France, is known to bold equally decided sympatic es, and Prussia has fairly backed down from her position of interference; driver, to this poor resort by the indignation which King William invoked upon

his own head by an act of tyranny to a persecuted people. Unsalely seated upon his throne, beneath which revolution is already building its mines, he deemed it the better part of valor to retire from a contest which promised to overwhelm him. Austria must necessarily be drawn into so wide a combination, and her sympathies are believed to be with Franco and Eng land. Hungary may seize the opportuni ty to regain her lost independence, and universal commotion must result. Foreign ffairs will become too complicated for the development of American sympathy, and those who looked for the active mteifcrence of Russia and Prussia in behalf of the North will mis the result of their calculations. Russia will have her hands full. A nation in revolt, and twenty millions of freed serfs to keep down in their new-found strength, are all she can attend to. Prus bia, as intimated, need not go beyond her own limits to find antagonists. If tha rest do not merely stand by and see fair play, they will perhaps have time lo devote to cotton speculation, and means for the piocu'emeul thereof. If they were withheld from interferetice by the influence of Russia, that it fluence has departed, for she is powerless. If they become actively engaged, Ameiica will bo forgotten, and wc must fight our battles with cur own ueive and resources. Thä spectacle prssenttd in this vast complication should furnish reflection for ihe Ameiican pe pie. The equilibrium which the laws of nature establish has made a weak and unarmed people invincible in strength. If fanaticism could see its future path but an instant, it would read in the prophetic signs that might and riches cannot win their way in "the prosecu tion of a struggle based upon wrong motives. The conscience of the world rebel against it. Lot stubborn hate give up its rancor; let blind fanaticism ptuse and lock upon its work; and if the blood of fellow countrymen slaughtered upon a hundred battle-fields does not appeal to its compassion, or ruin and poverty at home wake up its sheping discretion, at least let policy lule its course, and open a way out of our troubles- Chicago Times. I2cpulIIraii I'atrioliam sintl Devotion f o the Union. In a late speech in the House of Rep. risentatives, Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, who wielded an influence in that body only inferior lo the Secretary of the Treasury, said: "If any ur.forseen emergency should arise endangering the existence of the Re-puldrl-, tile section of the Constitution which says that tie President shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. creates him as much Dictator, for tie time being, as a decree of the Homan Sen ate made a Consul Dictator. But when Congress assembled they would have the same full 'power. If no otlur means were left to save the Republic from destruction, I believe we have power under the Constitution, and according to its express provision, to declare a Dictator, without confirming the choice to any officer of the Government." That would be considered in a Democrat slightly "traitorous." Congress took his ad vice so far as to make the President really Dictator. Ot R Retu hlk We are told that we ar living in a Republic. Well, let us see what is the stem reality. The President is authorized to suspend the habeas corpus consequently he confines whom be pleases, without trial. He is authorized to proclaim martial law and consequently, can seize any property; and according to his view confiscate with remuneration!, as shown by his proelama lion He can draft all the able-bodied men beteen lh ages of eighteen and forty five and make them bear arms on penalty of death He can forbid a free speech lie can muzzle a free press Ho has been furnished with two billion dollars, and, consequently, has both the purse and tho sword in his hands. All this is to continue until the next meeting of Gngres8. Heaven save 11s from such a Republic!. Erckorwc.

How the Mileage Fraud Passed the Ho us e, The WTashinjton correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette furnishes the following account of the passage of the mileage grab through the House: ''The miscellaneous appropriation bill at once comes up. The item for the third mileage (two mileages, all a member is usually supposed to be entitled to having already been given at the two previous sessions,) illicits a brief debate. When the question is pu tellers are demanded. (A vote by tellers involves no record of names) ninty-eight members, an overwhelming vote for it. The shrewd opponents demand the yeas and nays.

Straightway there is a fluttering. Yeas and nays make a record, and it rhi' look ugly! A score or two members have sudden calls to the doors, or important points to settle with fellow members in the cloak rooraV' The Clerk ha3 hardly called the last name till a crowd of members collects around his desk. "How does it stand?'' "What's the vote?" are the hurried inquires. In a minute the footing has spread through the hall, the crowd has emerged again from tho cloak rpoius and iobDies. Has it surely passed?" inquires a virtuous members who, a minute ago, was violently denouncing the "swindle." "Yes, it has five majority." uThcn I want to vote, Mr. Speaker!" and, with an air of righteous indignation, he votes "No!" .Another, equally , willing to keep a clean record (only provided the bill passes) likewise asks to have his vote recorded, and every sonorously shouta 4ilso! Another and still another follow suit. All hands take alarm. In a minute the bill will be lost, through the selfish auxietv of these fellows to make a clean record. Something must be done! Aod so a selfsacrificing member is coaxed to record his vote ftr the appropriation. Everybody breathes easier, but in a minute another selfish rascal had endangered everything by the record against the measure supposing it to be perfectly safe. "How is it now?" "How does it stand?" Is whispered from aisle to aide. A member comes down from the clerk's desk, exclaiming, "Its lost by one vote!" In an instant a score or more are coaxing good naturcd members to sacrifice their r cords for their interests, and presently another man votes "aye." And i: wavers al le.-natcly passed and killed, till at last the frightened membeis declare there shall be no more risking everything in order to get right on the record; and the vote is an nounced sixty seven yeas, sixty-five nays! When there was no record, 07 voted for the appropriation; under the yeas and nays twenty-one of them experienced a charge of heart, and the turning of a singlo vote would have defeated the measure! Who says Congtessmen are not virtuous? itO' Tiieue is no immediate prospect of the removal of Gen. Curtis in Missouri. That be has turned politician and neglected his dutes; that he has pandered to the unscrupulous schems of the em a: c'f ations in that State; that he has stilled freedom of speech and of the press and used his office to plunder the government. Gen. Butler was guilty of peculations and atrocities at New Orleans which were a icpioach to tho American name, The President has signified his rtgret to Gen. Butler that he permitted his removal, and evidently intends 10 advoid incurring thenecessity of expressing a similar regtet, to Gen. Curtis. What u termed by an administration paper "the insane doctrine dial certain men are entitled to certain places 10 the employ of the government," has been the rule governing appointments since the accession of the present party to power. The men entitled to the places have been those who were mo obsequious iu obedience to abolition policies. Incapacity and improbity have not been regarded as disqualifications for office, any more than capacity, efficiency and probity have ben regarded as entitling those who possessed them and held place, to retain their post tioiis. Chicooo Times. Capaiiiliuks of Hi max Stkenotu. A New York paper g.ves currency to the report that Dr. Wiuship, our modern Milo, has met with serious physical injury through his lifting experiment. Such is not the fact. Ho has now reached a lifting power of over twenty-five hundred pounds. His remaikablo lifting apparatus is in his office, Park street, where it may be seen by the curious. It u on record that one Richard Joy, of Kent, England, in tho year 1703, succeeded in lifting twenty-two hundred pounds. Dr. W. has surpassed ibis by three hundred, and finding his strength increasing in an undiminUhcd ratio, is still confident of reaching, within a reasonable time, his ultimatumjf three thousand pounds. Jlis molive in carrying physical development to this extreme is purely scientific; and be has not yet we believe, lecommet.ded any one to be in this respect his imitator.

(From the Newark Dailey Journal.) The Voice of Xew Jersey on the Conscription Act. The conscription act, has passed both Houses of Congress, and will of course receive the signature of lbs President. There is no donbt of i:a unconstitutionality; but as the object of the war has, ia the eye-i of all men, ceased to be th preservation of the Constitution of the United States, the proposed conscription iz ertirely consistent with the purposes and ob

jects of the Administration as indicated by all its measures and acts for months past. If the North is now fighticg for anything valuable, it must be found in the principle of centralization which is now the avowed object of the war. The restoration of the old Union is virtually declared an abburdity and an impossibility by those who control the Government at Washington; and after the loss of nearly half a million of men, and the wastefnl expenditnrs of 3,000,000.000, the North is again to bj called upon to furr.ih nearly all of its young men to sustain the usurping powers at Washington in enforcing a central lid despotism in breaking dowii cur cherished form of Government, and in wiping out State rights and individual libertiesAre our State authorities, or the people of New Jersey, willing to submit to the proposed revolution in our system ot government? No one can deny that the programme of the Administration means revolution, and for one, we believe that such a programme should be steadily resisted by every rightful means which God baaiven a free people. -If thsre are laws to protect the citizen against despotism; if our Northern Legislatures and Executives are worthy of their positions, if the people hr.trC"e of th Virltie and manliness of their fathers, they will steadily renne tbe offered upas victims to the infernal destructive policy of the Abolitionist. We are glad to see that the pres of New Jersey is walking up to the' inportvnee of the crisis, aad calling upon the State authorities to protect the people i.d the rights of the State The True- American, of Trenton, well says; "Try the proposed conscription law bj the test of the constitutional provisions and the decisions of the Courts referred to, and it will be found to be a far different thing from what u contemplated by thti 1. Und r it the Governors ofihe States are set at naught from the very first step in the process to the last. ' But as if to make the law as odious and unjust as it can be, a most invidious distinction is made between rosa of means and others. The Secretary of War is authorized to allow exemptions upon the payment of a sum not exceeding $300 into the Treasury, by whicb means- the poor man, whether willing or not is forced iito tlu sei vice, and the rich man, or be; who has rich friends, is exempted. "If this law is allowed to go iuto erTecf, the State militias will be entirely annihilated, the State rendered powerless lo enforce iheir laws, when resisted within thir respective borders; and will become more dependent upon the Federal Government than the Colonies were upon the Government of Great Bt itain previously the revolution. Wc ask tho Executive to consider it likesrue in the name cl the peoplj of New Jersey, to determine whether he will submit as "Commander-in-Chief of all the military and naval f.-ives ol the JS: e, I be the subotdiuate of gome Jj i j Pr o-t Marshal, commissioned by th? i'ieMdeut ot the Uni ed States, or whether eatjstieo with his own pciroual rXempnon um b rvice, hd will see tho Geneials, C'iiKi and other officers of the State nini.u. ganize 1 under the Constitution ot h i a.of New Jersey, and in eoiifoiioitx 1.11 .
