f. The Republican papers are having a icrious time in discussing the eligibility of Goy. Morton fur another term. The Consti

tutlon provides that no person shall, exercise

the functions of Governor of the Stole exceeding four years. To get over this tho Be. publican papers contend that O. P. has not

been Governor for- the past three years, but I

Lieu tenant Governor- discharging the duties! of Governor. To us it Ineks like- a distinct- J

But the pcopln are "taking notes," and one of these line mornings the '"Banner" and its party will wake and find that they have been repudiated by the masses, their false soph.

entry and rascality exposed. i The "Banner" is apparently enamored

with the so called "War Democracy," an organization as weak and puerilcas the "peace on any terms" Democracy, and both of them together are not one half as infamous as the "unconditional unionist."

the bent of their passions and prejudices in

steaci of their owu better judgment, md the

! result was the election of Abraham Lincoln,

a sectional abolition candidate to the Presi

a Republican form of government as the oth

er. The wir was inaugurated acainst the

in club houses, and in the

Streets, for protecting private property in the

Jineot Ins march. I he radical party boldly announced the doctrine as their own, that the Northern man miudit rightfully steal

from the Southern man. It is impossible for the radicals to escape thi charge. They made it the great point in their raid against General McCh'Ilan while he was on the Peninsula. In vain did high minded men in the Republican party resist this horrible 'loctrine, which radical vindictiveness invented and supported. All honor to those men who, notwithstanding the pressure of party afliliations. did faithfully and earnestly protest against the disgraceful creed. They are free from responsibility. They see wi'h us, today, the effect on the morals of the radical men w ho were given over to love of spoil.

The efiect is visible all over the country. We were talking with a Union man from North Carolina some time since, and on ask

radicals as the proper subjects of plunder, and the stealing is commenced. The result on the morals of radicals is ns important as the result on nation ii reputation. They arc, of course, demoralized and degraded. The man whojnstifies stealing from the house of a Southerner, would of course, as the very next step, steal from his own Government. The radical politician who justifies plunder

ing ionthern homes is not fit to be trusted with his neighbor's purse. These nro not hard words for the subject. It is a subject which ought to bring n blush ot shame tothc" chuek of every American. It is" notpurpris ing that the New York Custom House so ofcn reveals secrets of fraud and corruption. It has been the business of too many men in it for two years past to enrich themselves on plunder, either by pretence of enforcing law, by confiscations, or by fraud without color of law. The place is an Augean stable of wickedness. The merchants of New York will bear us out in this statement It is a burden upon them a terrible imposition on the commercial men of the metropolis. We earnest

ly direct the attention of members of Congress to the secrets which lie hidden in those stone walls. TI12 revelations yet to be made will surpass all that has been heard of the Stantons, and Palmers, and others heretofore exposed. We arc told that the Administration arc in somethin of a quandary on the subject. It is not yet quite certain wheth er the New York Custom House belongs (in an electioneering point of view) to Mr. Chase or Mr. Lincoln. As. soon as the important questions is definitely settled, we hope to see a revelation of the iniquities of three years of great wrong. The people will not care which branch of the party is charged with

the responsibility. The National Union League has in existence about 4,.rU0 councils of that order in the loyal States, with a membership of over 750,000 - in number. Wisconsin has over 200 councils and 23,000 members, and Illinois 140,000 members. Abolition Exctanfje. It would be more appropriate to say that

be abandoned it is the cause of free institutions and self-government. The Constitution and Union must be preserved, whatever may be the cost in time, treasure, and blood, if secessijn is successful, other dissolutions are clearly to be seen in the future. Let, therefore, neither militaty disaster, politics, or foreign war shake your settled purpose to enforce the operation of the laws of the United States upon the people of every State. The time has come when the government mnst determine upon civil and military policy covering the whole ground of our national trouble. The responsibility of determining, declaring

and supporting such civil and military policy, and of directing the whole course of national affairs in regard totherebellion, must now be assumed and exercised by you. or our cause will be lost The Constitution gives you power sufheient even for the present terrible exigency. This rebellion has assumed the char

acter (f a war; nssuch it should be regarded, and conducted upon the highest principles known toChristian civilization. It should not be a wcr looking to the subjugation of the people of any event It should' not be at all a

war upon population, but against armed forces and political organizations. Neither confiscation of property, political execution of persons, territorial organizations of States, or forcible abolition of slavery, should be contemplated for a moment In prosecuting the war, all private property and unarmed persons should be strictly protected, subject on

ly to the necessities of militaty operations. ' All private property taken for military use should be paid or receipted for; pillage and waste should be treated as high crimes, all

unnecessary trespass sternly prohibited, and offensive demeanor by the military toward citizens promptly rebuked. Military arrests should not be tolerated except in places where active hostilities exist; and oaths not required by enactments constitutionally made, should neither bo demanded nor received. Military governments should boonfined to the preservation of public order and the protection of political rights. Military power should not he allowed to interfere with the relations of servitude, either by supporting or imparting the authority of the master, except

lor repressing disorder, as in other case.

Slaves, contraband under the act of Congress, seeking military protection, should receive

it. The right of the Government to appropriate perniantlv to its own service claims to

slave labor should be asserted, and the right of the owner to compensation therefor should be recognized. The principal might be ex

pended upon grounds of military necessity

and security to all the slaves within a partic

ular Mate, thus working manumission in such

State; and in Missouri, perhaps in Western

Virginia, also, and possibly even in Maryland, the expediency of such a measure is only a question of time. A system of policy

thus constitutional and conservative, and per

vaded hv the influence ot Christianity and

freedom, would receive the support of almost all truly loyal men, would deeply impress the

rebel masses and all foreign nations, and it

might be humbly hoped that it would com

mend itself to the favor of the Almighty. Un

duct of our struggle shall be made known and approved, the effort to obtain requisite forces

ginccred by that imacnlate loyalist and j

notorious corruptior.ists Simeon Cameron. It is proporsd, as a last resort to squelch the Confederacy and capture Richmond, that the shoddy contractors and innumerable g.ing of thieves detected and exposed under this administration bo organized into a brigade or division, placed under the command of Roast Duller or Simon Cameran, or any other expert

thief, and started oil South with license to steal the entire concern. The whisky manufacturers and wholsale dealers are in a sweat. The recent

law of Congress proposes to tax all dis- j tilled liquors sixty cents per gallon, in- j eluding the stock manufacturer and dealers may have on hand at the time of the passage of tho law. It is again rumored that the rebels

are evacuating Richmond, and removing

It is rumored that North Carolina is on the eve of scceeding from the Confederacy and returning to the Union. Had we statesmen and patriots in control of the government at Washington, instead
