Dy order of the Committee. Alonzo IJi.ar, Chairman; Judging by Professions and Acts. "We liave a right," says the Cincinnati Gazette, a few days since, "to judge a party organization by its pofessions and acts." By that test, let ns try the Administration party, of vhieh the Gazette itf an acknowledged organ. That party calls itself "Union" a' nameit took j when its leaders professed to lesire the restoration of the Union on the basis of the Constitution, wi'.h all the rights and dignity of the ;pveral States unimpaired Now they repudiate that plat form,, and declare against the restoration of the Union, and conspire to deprive State of their constitutional rights, ami bv force And fraud to change or subvert State'Conutitutions without the consent of the people. They would transfer the govern rncnt of the States, both North and Sonth .to a centralized despotism. Their whole spirit shows this to ba their determined purpose." Their menaces and treasonable declarations their attempts by force and violence to silence and overawe the opponents of their disorganizing policycarry the irresistible conviction that thevJ vrould, if it were possible, precipitate the Northern States into rebellion, in order to prostrate the people before a military despotism having its center at Washington. 'i'he acts of the leaders of. the party cor respond with their treasonable designs against the Union, the States and tbe people. They have had executive proclamations issued; they have passed legislative acts in Congress, and are perfecting others all expressly designed and operating to prevent a reunion of the States on the old basis of tho Constitution; to annihilate States as existing uniLt their several Constitutions and the Constitution of the United States, and to depiive the people of States, guilty of no i crime agains-t the Government, of their constitutional rights and liberties. We bet; that this programme ef the ptrty in power is not to be confined to what it calls the rebel States in the . 8 uith. We see a fell determination to extgVtl.it over the Border and the Xorthei ntStatci. We see that a plausible pretextimly is wanting to inaugurate in Indiana .and other Western States tbe worst despotism that ever cursed any people, and that reckless demagogues are resolved that bis pretext fdiall not long be wanting. Thia is clear as the noonday feun from their denunciations of all. who sincere ry desire and insist upon tho maintenance of the Union nxd the preservation of-tbe Staes, in pursuance of the Constitution, expressing their malice and hostility against all such, not in the old terms of political warfare, but by calling them rebels and traitors, and inciting, the drunken .and reckless to destroy tbe property of, and shoot down unarmed citizens and then justifying such acta as deed of patriotism and loyalty. Such are the acts, and such the princi pies sadthepirit by which the Admi?j-

utrmtion party of the day may be justly till

judged. The common 6afetr demands that the Government should not be entrusted to, or remain in inch hands. They are now urning its whole power all they can ieH for its own orerthrow for th destruction of the Slates and the subjugation of the people to an iron dc&poti&m. No man who in loyal to the Government of these United States and desiras it preservation on the basin of the

National Conhtitution, with the rights of Gazette, Commercial, New York Tribune, the several State unimpaired, can for a j Doo Forney's Pres-s. and ether reprcsentamoment Mir.nort an Administration in I tire Print cf lliv Vty attempting to ejcell

ir thus lending itself to such base uses. It is dis-ioviiity, if not treason, to that Gov eminent to do The "Little Creeley" proposes to Expell Alex. Long. Schcvler Cclfax, the "little Grittier," of the IXth Congressional District, ha introduced a resolution in the House o Representatives for the expulsion ot Mr. Alex. Long, the member from the Cincinnati District, for words used in a re:ent Congresbional speech. It ih report ,eil thal Lon? paj,f tt jn his opinion there are now but two questions betoie the conntrv : the recocrnition of the Southern Confederacy or the continuation of the war for the subjugation of the South, nnd that he pre fe red th former. However we may disagree with Mr. Long,jut at this time, as to the question being narrowed down to thee two points only, we can but think that the proposition to expel a Representative for the especially of such opinion, conies with an ill grace from an abolitionist, and exprebly fo from Mr. Colfax, than whom no greatei false patriot, fanatic and then retical absurdity ever existed. His whole political life, from the time be commenced as a cross-roads politician, and through his editorial and congressional career up to the present, has been devoted to the bringing about of just the position of af fairs that Mr. Long says does exist. If a choice between the two propositions alone is not all that is uow left us, it is no fanlt of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. That the' "wayward sisters" were not permitted to "depart in peace," when they first asserted their secession, is no fault of his. Hisnaner vied u a11 the oth" abolition sheets in bis 'district, in crying "let the South go, we arc better olT without her." In his seat in Congress he has time and again Jieard, unmoved, the vile treason of Lovejoyand Wade, and Conway, and othe disunionists. But here is a demojcrftt w,, HaJs something to displease the ! bohton Baal, and his stay-at-home-and-urge others-to-war patriotism is aroused, and be cries "treason, treason ! " The extreme modesty which he alvvays succeeds in overcoming when he desires a re-election, prevents his saying anything; aont the treason of his own party ; bnt ilturrfs into the vilest wrath, when he pits himself against an opponent. The Coles County Riot. A correspondent of the Chicago Times writing fiom Mattoon, relativo to tbe recent abolition riot in Coles county, thus mentions the 54th Regiment, who were principally engaged in the riot: 'It is a veteran regiment, a regiment which, having re-enlisted comes back to Illinois, after almost three years' service in the field, during wKich it has lost tico men killed and wounded." That is the same regiment that for some time has been campagning in ( -oles county, fighting, drinking, and "putting down copperheads. "-anglice, Tolling democrats. The Times, in speaking of this -fact! most aptly remarks: Such is precisely the case wherever these outrages have been committed. If there be a regiment which for the last three years has escaped all battles, which has been garrisoning some post where it had nothing to do but make raids on neighboring plantations, and whose killings are limited to the number ol necks wrung of stolen chickensthat is the very regiment that will swear and talk the loudest and do most towards killing democrats when it gets home. The battle-hardened veterans those who ua.eunaergone, agam ana again, the fiery nacrament of baptism on the battlefieldare not the men who "put down copperheads' (murder democrats) when thy visdt the North on a furlough. Men who have tood face to face with death on a doxen fields acquire a nobilitv of character that leads them to despise theioleof political assassins. Show us a regiment tjiat is engaged in assaulting and murdering honest political opponents j and we are shown at the same time one! which never struck deadlier blowR than j those hurled at the defenceless citizens of j the enemy's country. Show us a soldier who, when at horas, is a drunken, swaggering bully, a coarse brutal ruffian, and we known a man who, when his company plunged into tho hot blasts of battle, ceski Tith his cowardly ion! to th rear,

lne ,langer which h;a mm

daie not meet, is pi. Inrariably the riotous bully at home is the sneak, the thief, and the coward in the army. A Base Lie Nailed.

The campaign in false-! pouters and papers of the abolition partyhood has already been opened. A short time j Co1- weight and that "sweet scented pimp" dn thp rinnat; i :.i !,r-od Dave Gooding, in their harranges at the

that the Hon. I. W. Voomiem had urged Governor SsYMorn. of New York, to resist 1 the draft in that State, assuring him that if he would do so, he would be backed in the position by tha Democracy of the Northwest. A card appears in that paper of the SUth of March from Mr. VooRHt:L:j, containing a let ter from Gov. Seymock, in which the latter states that he never had anr conversation with Mr. V. on the subject or communication of any kind. A party that reports to such infamous measures to sustain its cause, will certainly he overtaken with a righteous ret. ribution, for we have an abiding confidence in the sober second thought of the people and j an overruling Providence. "When that reaction takes place, ns ic assuredly will, we shall pity the men who, to advance their schemes of personal aggrandizement, have wilfully and maliciously slandered their political op ponents. It cannot be otherwise if aju9t Providence directs the destinies of men and nations. We copy as follows from the Commercial : A CARD FROM TnE HON". D. W. YOOFnKES. Washington, D. C, April 4, 4S64. Eds. Com. My attention having been recently called to nr. article said to have first appeared in your widely circulated paper, making a very serious charge against me, 1 addressed a letter to Governor Seymour, of which the following h a copy : House of Kei'Resextativks, ) March 4, 1S(i4. ) lion Horatio Seymour, Governor of Xcic York : Dear cir. The Cincinnati Commercial, in its editorial columns, has gravely charged that I visited vou some time, airnfor the fol lowing purpose : "To bring a pressnreupon him (you) to take the lead in a Nortiicrrrinj surrection, but was exceeding disgusted be cause he (I) did not Ihid Mr. Seymour ripe lor rebellion. Will you he kind enough to state whether lever, directly or indirectly, approached you in connection with such a tubject. Pardon me for troubling yuu, but the authoritative form in which this calumny has been put forth, seems to demand attention. Very truly your (bedient servant, D. W. Voorhecs. To this, I have a reply of which the following is a copy : State of New York. Executive Dep't ) Albany, March 29, 1864. j Dear Sir: I have received vour letter of the 24th, in which you state that itischarged j env t that you visited me for the purpose of in g me to take the lead in a Northern in surrection. 1 cannot imagine what could haveiven rise to any statement so absurd and unfounded, as we never had any conversation or communication of any kind, direct or indirect, relating to such subject. Truly yours, IIouatio Seymour. Hon. D. W. Voorhees, Washington, 1). C. Will you do me the justice to publish the foregoing correspondence, and thus, as far as it now remains in your power, correct the very injurious mistake into which xrn have been led? If your charge was true, I would te an unnt person to Jive in this Government, and would Ifitve it without delay. Would it not be well for the editors of papers of such extensive influence as yours, to be somewhat careful in makinz unfounded state ments which narrowly concern a man's life, liberty and honor ? Your obedient servant D. W. Voorhees. The Ba7iner, we believe, gave the above refuted slander against Mr. Voorhees the benefit of its circulation. Will it have the honor and fairness to" give the refutation, even in a four line paragraph, stating that the charge is false and malicious? Wd 6hall see. ' - Letter from Mr. Vallandigham. The following appears in the N. Y.f Xeics of Saturday: "WiXDson. C. W., March 25. 1864. "My friends have done me much temporary injury by presenting my name for enatorial Delegate at the late convention at Columbus. I am surprised beyond measure, and greatly vexed, as I had expressly forbidden it to be balloted for. Please exnlain to Mr. Wood, ! and if comments are made nnon it bv ab olition or war democratic papers, let him explain. The resolutions and nominanations, delegates Electorial and State are excellent, but I can hardly forgive the presentation of my name for a ballot. "C. L. Vallandigham. ' i Mr. Vallandigham evidently has more j discretion than his friends, as evinced by the above letter. The presentation of his name to the Convention as a delegate to tRe Chicago Convention was unwise to say the least it was forcing issues upon the people they were not prepared to meet. I Time puts all things right, is an old nxax nm, and we have an abiding faith that it will prove true in Vallandighain's case. JSTThc colored people's Union League I of Philadelphia held a meeting last week j to honor the memory of Owen Lovjoy.

The Sugar Creek Ind'ar7u?:i. The Grand Jury last weekfound three bills of indictment .gainst A. J. Strickler-one for hurnins the barn of David Smith one for

stealing a horse from the same individual and one for Mealing a sa.iJie. lie was neia ,o - 4L . mm inn ii'i itiriiti - - wntatlar-e hi latner neing me surety. It strikes us the sum is rather small for so serious a crime the bond at least should have been e jual to the value of the property destroyed, but, presume the Judge understood his own business and doubtless eari'give guod and satisfactory reasons for placing it at so low a figure if so we should like to hear them. The destruction of the property of Mr. "iu is cieany traceao.e to prtwai mait l tf . l - i i . j i i - i . f Court House in this city on the Saturday previous, in effect taught and encouraged this very tiling they prated long and loud about what would befall all who opposed tho schemes and policy of the weak, corrupt and imbecile administration at Washington they in effect taught that all who opposed the Utopian schemes of negro emancipation and negro equality, the wiping out of State lines and the establishment of the infamous one tenth scheme (a great act of villainy and a fatal stab at Republican liberty if permitted to succeed) were "enemies of the government" and fit objects to become the victims of abo lition mobocracy. Strickler, no doubt, list, ened to these speeches and at once concluded to put them in practical opperation, and on the following Thursday night set fire to the barn and stole the property of his political eneiay, David Smith and no doubt thought he was performing a commendable act and giving most' indubitable evidence of "true loyalty" he was certainly following the teachings and carrying out the most prominent features of the party and fairly deserves a fat office at the hands of Oliver or Abram, and should the matter be properly presented we doubt not he would get it or at least a gratuity of two thousand dollars in "greenbacks' wherewith to pay his baibond. It may also be proper to here state that Strickler is a calcium light in the "Loyal League" of Sugar Creek Townsnip is sup posed, and in fact known to have been inter ested incite "Union milk" outrage, if indeed not the principal operator, He is also snpposed to occupy the responsible position ol foreman in the Sucar Creek undertaking av sociation, who left tho first specimen of thcii i if c .u r i. uiiiiui v urn. ii i i.ie gate ui ji r. k-iuiiu u icw n rcr g prior to destroying his property, in the si ape of a joffin, on which was written numerous ot' scene and disgusting sentences. We have a fair insight into the state of af fairs abolitionism, if once more successful, would inaugurate. It will be think as we do ttr suffer the loss of your property lytheincendiaie torch and your life by the knife or bullet of the midnight assassin. Such is the teachings and in many instances aheady the practices of nb ditionism. Mrs. Lincoln and the Spirits. The Washington correspondent of the Cincin nati Commercial is responsible for tbe fol lowing: There is a story going the rounds at the Capital to the effect that Mrs. Lincoln, a few days. since, consulted the spirits on the subject of the next Presidency, and that the disembodied stated very emphat I ! llir t b sif uba iviMilil r nt lo tlio nov t m J a.

Tribute ro Governor1 Setmoub. The New York Board of Supervisors met j last week, when Supervisor Elv offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the thanks of this Hoard be tendered tohi excellency.Govei nor Seymour, for his successful efforts to have the quota of this County under the recent call of the President reduced to ajnst proportion, which has resulted in the saving to this County of about 82,000,000. The Board of Supervisors is divided equally between Democrats and Republicans, and the unanimous passage of this resolution shows the state of public feel ing in regard to the action of the Governor on the subject of the Draft, which has been bo studiously misrepresented by the partisan press of the Metropolis. tf- The story that 64 of the Yankee school inarms in Beaufort, S. C, had added a corresponding aunaber to the mulatto population, is denied. As we published the rumor we take pleasure in making the correc tion, and are pleased to notice that the DemocratJc preiB of th country isgenerally dointhe same, a feature of fairness that eminently characterises the Democratic party from its unprincipled and mendacious opponents, who fabricate and put afloat the most shameless and brazen lie, but a refutation of the same never finds a place in their columns. There is probably policy in this, for if the abolition pre?s should attempt a correction of all the lies it coins and utters, it would have room for little else one issue would be occupied in correcting the lies that appeared in the former
