What we can aud ought to do, beyond ih f mere expression id our sympathy, in a? 1 of our oppraed countrymen iu Onio, Kentucky, and Indian;., it a subject upon which it may be a- well at present to t-ay n vhin'. letu wait the course of events. We have au immediate .junction to de termine for ourslve8, and that u whether we will permit the e.sublithmma of the same specie? o government in our own dtate; a government which not only no I'plishman and no Frenchman would en duie, but Hg.inht which the very I iZtaroni f Naples would revolt.

though their occurrence not at all probable; but I speak of systematic acts, done under claim ot tight, without necessity, upon false pretenses acts which are not only, flagrantly unr otuuit uiional. but utterly subversive of liberty and of law, and of which the manifest tendency, if not the purpose, U not to main ain the Union bu' to destroy it. 1 am euro that wo will not submit to this, and we ought to say 60 plainly. I have no faith iu any pliüon, protests, or remonstrances that fall ehort of th;a. There is danger in leaving the President ignorant of our purpose. I aui not 8itt:guine enough to hope fur anything from hiit sense of justice or respect for the iaw. The powers that control him, wheth er spintul or terrestrial, will do to uj htever will euller, but are nut likely to attempt that which ihey ktiuW we will not suffer. At the same time I deprecate all resistance that U tiot strict'y constitutional. Ltt us not on:v hubmi: to but uj'port all proper au hoi ity. Tlie Prenident ciaimp the cwnaiitutional power to establish martial law uer the body ot the people in the loyal States. We deny it. Let the courts determine the question. The judicial authority is vested in the court, and not in the President, the Congress, or the army. It as much the duty of the President as of any private ciiizeu to Kubn.ii to that authority. If he resists it he be conies au usurper, and mty himself be lawfully resisted. And on the other

Under What Form of Government do WeUve.

The American citizen was onco justly proud to answer that question; to day, i: he still owns a freeman's aspirations, be answers it with sorrow and Lumiliation. It is a ruischerous delusion that the stricken genius of republicanism will re eoperate as the skies, brighten and the clouds disperse; the neck that has once consented to the Joke, can b brought to it again. If two years of civil strife can clothe an executive with absolut ; power, centurug of peace cannot erase the memory, the shame and tho precedent from the annals ot the people. A righi once relin quished, even if again resumed, is held ly an uncertain tenure, and will not be maintained with that infLx.ble spirit thai renders it proof against the assaults o"- a daring and unscrupulous arubkion. We will noi give the painful record of wha rights havo been reliiuiuished; Jet each citizen, for himself, look back npon th fair proportions Oi hia heritage as ho re ceived it from his fatl ers, aud then real ize his loss in contemplating the worth less fragments that a e left to him. Political convulsions approximate the extremes of Government, and sometimes the feeblest cause will atL-ct the greatest transformation. Lucretia's corpse bridg ed the brief interval between monarchical and iepubiican Rome. The soldiership and genius of Macedonian Phillip swept away the sovereignties of the Grecian stales. The first Napoleon darzied the republic of Fiance into subjection with the brilliancy of his military triumphs, and his intriguing nephew, by the prcs ligoofa name, passed from obscruity to the Presidential chair, from the Picsiden Hal chair to an Imperial throne. Tue republic of tho United Slate, which three years ago was the pride of the American, and the admiration of the world, is now wo dread to icalizethe truth. What ia a despotic foru of govern ment? That which is 4:ab-oluto ia pow er, independent ot control lrom men, con stitution, or laws; arbitrary in the exer cise of power." This is the definition ot a despotic government, as explained bv Noah Webster. Does tho law or the Constitution sanction the arre.st of a cili zen, or the violation ol aa otliciaioatb wi'di t i Aw oujaJicial process: Is there a ciuz-n who, at this day, can trust the law and the Constitution to protect him from Mich an exercise of arbitary power? Is not he whoso will points out the victim, and the tinio and maimer of his arrest; and the place of bid continemcnt, and th method of his trial, essentially a despo ? Are wc not, according to the meaning of words and the existence of facts, liv!ng undira despotic g vernraent? We entreat our fellow-citizens to ponder upon these things, wi h the th lahtfuluesg ot men who have inherited an incsiimahle treasure, which they alono can guard liora the spoiler's hand. To redeem that treasure, if now, by tame acquiescence, they permit if, j -wel by jw el, to pass from their sale keeping wil. cost them hereafter as precious blood as isnoir being wasted in in-aue contention. Meet the intruder now, at the thresh hold of your violated temples. Snatch from his po.luiing grasp tho sacred gilt of your fathers, and regain the magm fice'it estate that was b?q tathed to yon untainted with the atmosphere- of tyranny Do it, by the fearless expression of your sovereign will that which none except Jod', is higher; and which alone has ilupiivüegö to control your destinies. Do it, by exercise ot your ulimiied riht ot free discussion; by appeal to the protection of the law; by ihe free voice of the ballot-box; by whatever means the exigency demands and the occasion sati ciihV; but d ) it. Xcir York Xeics, Prcddcnt l.iiicohr Keply to tlic Albany .'Icellng. W do uot know how posterity, bhould it ever reach them, will charucteaize the reply of President Lincoln to tho A.bauy meeting. Probably they will accept it at part of the history of the day, and find in the feebleness ot intellect it exhihi's, an a cuse for tho catastrophe that at this houi bezels the American peopl-. The public of to day will probably find a designation for it in tho ingenious and characteristic parallel which the President draws bo Iween tho acts of his administration and an "Vmetio," and the reliance he expresses that the people, will not grow fonder of the one than of the. other, bv mere use! Perhaps not! Rut ft ill the question would subsist, why becausu tho people of Tennessee and Louisiana need internal corrections, the Great Medicine Man at Washington should force dowithe throa's of hoalihv oitiztns of Ohio and Illinois his repulsive draughts. If the President could 6ud in hi EUctrio or Eruetio school of

he would have met the case ia presenting it. Less than tweenty four hours after the President thus exhibited himeslf throwing up the undigested crudities of law wi:h which he has been stuffed, we find hira addressing to Albany piteous appeals for help. He addressed the same call to Ohio, to Illinois, and to other Stateswhose people he has mocked, and whose insti:utions he has trampled upon. His distress aud the hopeless condition of the Country, disarmed ridicule of its shafts! Wo must not, however, fail to call to tho attention of the reader, the fact that the President in this wretched rigmarole" shuts his eyes to all the facts, and to all the law of the case. The habeas corpus has not been suspended in Ohio; Mar

tial law has not been declared there, and ctin t be. Vallat.diirham has not been prove I guilty as he charges; no neces ity is proved for superceding the civil courts. and if proved, ihc laws of Congress have povided for the contingency, aud the action of tho President is nullification of the iaw; and then is no authori.y for th President'! Bending even a coudemed criminal into exile, much lass betraying a patriotic ci.izen into tho hands of the pub lic enemy. That Gen. Jackson, whsn New Orleans as attacked by the enemy, refused to heed a writ tcr the surrender of one of his soldiers, and was fined for his recueancy, ia no reason why Gen. Rurnside, iu Cinciniiali.a thousand miles from the seat of any hostilities, should order a citizen to be arreskd for making speeches still further in the interior of Ohio, in criticism :ipon tho conduct of tho Administration upon the war. The universal condemnation which this arbitrary act of the administration against a political opponent, ha excited among men of al! parties, as acknowledged by the press of all parries, will be increased rather than be diminished by this bad argument in its defense. Xeio York Argus , '-Traitorous Words' A Significant Test. In om of the towns in Connecticut, jui previous to our Suite election, 6everal persons wore discussing the measures and candidates of parties. The Rebubticanf, one of whom was the towa clerk, were hitter against Governor Seymour, calling him a traitor and a friend of tho South, assorting that he was in laror of the plan of rebellion, which that the people of die S u;h 6hou!d govern thems-lves independently of the North. ""Well," euida Democrat, "do you oppose sentiments of t- at kind?' ''We do," repli d the town lerk, 'no one except a traitor will cttsr .sentiments of that character." Let me read them to you," said the Democrat. 'I have i hem here word for word whn correctly reported, yon may l ot fee! to hiiterly hostile to the words uttered; they arc as follows: "Any people, any where, being inclined and having the power, have a light to raise up and shake off the existing government, aud form a new me that suite them b tter. N r is this right confined to cases in w hich the people of an existing govern mcnt may chose to exercise it. Any porion of such people that can, maf revolutionize and may make tluir own of 6o much of the territory as they inhabit. M re than this, a majority of any portion f sin h people may revolutionize, putting down a minority intermingled wiih or ucar about ihem, who may opposo their movements." "It is rank treason," said one of the R-pupfcans. "It ia Tom Seymour copprheadisra," said another, "and the man that uttered these detestable words ought to be confined in Fort Lataelte, and fed on bread and water during the war. He is a traitor." The Democrat laughed, and quietly said: 'Geutlemen, Abraham Liucolu the Picsident of the United Slates uttered ihoso words." It a lie --Tom Siymour said it Tom Seymour is the traitor," exclaimed the Republican. "No, gentlemen," cooly replied the Democrat "Abial ana Lincoln is tb author of thu Words you nov pronounce as traitorous language-. He utteied them in a speech delisted in the llou-e of R pre seutatives, in Washington, ou the 10.
