said on Saturday last, that the Bn 771/W-gbriet9
suspended the writ 'without questi,
pleased, and cited, as an instance, the im, iontnint
of Napoleon Bonaparte at St. Helena. And if' the
British Government could imprison the great French
conqueror because such was its pleasure, why, he
triumphantly asked, might not the President of the
United States imprison any one whom he adjudged
to be a public enemy ? The pregnant question re-
mained unanswered. The Senate and its leading
shoemaker were satisfied with the logic and the
illustration, and inquired no further. The same
body has passed that psrtion of Mr. Chase's financial
project which provides for a uniform issue of rotes
for the whole of the United States, such issue to be
secured not upon gold or silver, but upon Federal
bonds. This measure amounts to a decided infrac-
tion of State laws, which declare banking and its
regulations to be matters entirely for the legislation
of the commonwealth in which the banks early on
their business. This is the thinnest edge of the
wedge. It is drivin in much closer and more forci-
bly in the Conscription Act, which the Senate, under
the guidance of its leading shoemaker, has hurried
through all,its stages with scarcely any debate. The
bill has yet to be considered by the House of Repre-
sentatives, which, through its minority, has mani-
fested a disposition to contest it at every point and
to employ every privilege, every rule, and every
artifice which the forms of the house allow to ob-
struct its passage, with the hope—a very forlorn
one—that the inevitable 4th of March will come,
and find it still under discussion, and therefore
lest. Tee bill is not so much intended
to raise soldiers for the conquest of the South
as to supply an armed force under the pres-
sure of which the next election for the Presidency
will be conducted. The conscripts of each State
will be sent to do military duty in States with the
people of which they have no sympathies. The
least dissatisfaction expressed by the people will bo
construed into treason, or danger to the public
public peace, sufficient to justify the placing of the
State or district under martial law. And under the
operation of martial:Jaw the election will take place.
This is a desperate game to play ; but it seems to
be the game of the revolutionary majority of Con-
gress. They think by this means to defeat the elec.

its favour are the corruption of politicians, con-
tractors, and swindlers ; the baseless assumption of
a nationality that exists but in theory ; the passion
that is fed upon bloodshed ; the insolent tyranny
taat would assimilate conflicting opinions by the
agency of the sword; and the still more odious
tyranny of the pulpir, that would crush out the last
remnant of civil liberty by the establishment of a
sanguinary theocracy which would rather the white
race should perish than that liberty, in the name of
God and for the advancement of His glory, should
not be given to the black. Mr. Lincoln was elected
by that party, and has made himself its organ and
its instrument. It has always been a defect in the
working of the Constitution that the "spoils" of
party were of necessity redistributed, on every Pre-
sidential election, among the needy professional
politicians by whose agencies the success of the
party candidate was assured. In the days of peace
and prosperity comparatively little harm was done.
One set of greedy, venal, and incompetent public
servants was displaced to make room for another
with the same defects, and in a minimized central
government, such as that implied in a Federation
of self-governing States, the evil was neither very
extensive nor very oppressive, except in so far as it
impaired public morality, and debased the character
of the citizen. But in a time of public peril, when
the whole fabric of society was shaken, a too rigid
adherence to the old system of party administra-
tion has brought the Northern half of the Republic
to the very verge of a second disruption. The Re-
publicans are new to power, and do not know how
to wield it. There is not a man of any grasp of
mind in the councils of the President. There is
not a man of the least range of thought in either
House of Congress who is not accused by the domi-
nant faction of being a traitor and a rebel, because
he sees, feels, and knows that the Union is at an
end, and that it has been ended by the very means
taken to restore it. The Senate is led by an ex-
shoemaker of the most violent opinions, who can
neither write nor speak grammatically, and who
differs so far from the President and his Minis-
ters as to believe that the Union can be restored
by force of arr....s, and that the bitter memories
of the war can be softened or obliterated by a re-
morseless coercion. The House of Representatives
shares the hallucination. No man belonging to the
Conservative party is trusted in civil or military
life by the rampant revolutionists who are fast
usurping the Government, and driving Mr. Lin-
coln into their own groove. General M'Clellan
was dismissed, not because he was an inefficient or
unpopular officer, but because he had rendered
himself obnoxious to the Anti-Slavery and ultra-
Republican party by his cautious Conservatism on
the question of the Southern negroes. Mr. Cassius
Marcellus Clay was made a Major General, not be-
cause he was a soldier, not because he knew any-

This was the first hospital to introduce the principle of free
and instant admission to the destitute sick, without the for-
mality of eovernors' letters. It is entirely devoted to desti-
tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is aecom-
pcnied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient
magnitude that, with adequate sunport, it may be rendered
capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of
the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the
funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of
these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. rec
Mcreover,
it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more,
on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.
The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an
EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support,
to enable them to t dmit and relieve the distressing cases that
daily present themselves.

LIFE DEPA RTMENT.—UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF AN
ACT OF PARLIAMENT, this Company now offers to new In-
Furers EIGHTY PER CENT. of the Profits, at Quinquennial
Divisions, or a Low Rate of Premium without participation of
Profits.
Since the establishment of the Company in 1821, the
Amount of Profits allotted to the Assured has exceeded in
Cash value £660,000, which represents equivalent Reversionary
Bonuses of £1,058,000.
After the Division of Profits at Christmas, 1859, the Life
Assurances in force, with existing Bonuses thereon,
mounted to upwards of £1,730,000, the Income from the Lite
Branch £207,000 per annum, and the Life Assurance Fund,
independent of the capital, exceeded £1,618,000.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.—lnsurances are effected upon
every descrir ion of property at moderate rates.
LOCAL MILITIA and VOLUNTEER CORPS.—No
Extra Premium is required for service therein.
LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their
values, if such value be not less than £5O.
ASSIGNMENTS OF POLICIES.—Written Notices of, re-
ceived and registered.
MEDICAL FEES paid by the Company, and no charge
or Policy Stamps.

thing of the art or science of war, not because
he had rendered or could render to the State
any military service that could not have been
better performed by the rawest recruit from
Kerry or Connemara, but because he agreed with
Mr. Henry Ward Beecher[on Emancipation, and
with Mr. George Francis Train in hatred of Eng-
land. Generals M'Dowell, Fitz-John Porter, Sum-
ner, Franklin, and other professional soldiers have
been set aside, in the very agony of the public dan-
ger, because the weak President was over-per-
suaded by the theorists who manage him that it
was more essential that a commander should agree
with Mr. Wendell Phillips on the social and poli-
tical status of "Americans of African descent"
than that he should be as good an engineer as
Vauban or as admirable a strategist as Wellington.
The President is a party President, and has become
less of a national President every day the war has
lasted. The fact alone is sufficient to explain the
deplorable failure which he has made. Were he a
thousand times as sagacious as he is simple ; were
he not a joker of irreverent and irrelevant jokes;
were he possessed of all the qualities of head and
heart that qualify men to lead their fellows,—he
would have been equally a failure if he had
attempted, at such a crisis, to govern a practical
people on the principles of a philosophic and doctri•
nazre minority, whose notions of the negro are
derived from England, where there are no negroes,
and whose ideas of Government would seem to be
inspired by the Austrian administration of Venice,
or the policy of Russia towards Poland.
The Republican party cannot restore the Union.
The fact has become palpable to itself. The Presi-
dent knows that he is not fighting at this moment
for the sake of Union, but'for the sake of being in
a position, when peace is imposed by the dissatis-
fied Northern pa ople, by Southern arms, or by the
mediation of Eur ope, to secure the Border States
and the best available frontier. Mr. Seward and
Mr. Chase, and all the men in power who have any
pretensions to statesmanship or sagacity, know it
also, though they have not the courage or the
patriotism to confess it. But worse even than that
—the Republican party cannot restore or preserve
American liberty, and does not wish to do so. Its
principles are not the principles that lie at the base
of the Constitution, but principles that are in-
compatible with the mild and diffused Govern-
ment of the States, and which have made America
what it is (or was). Republicanism, in the sense
attached to the word by the Republicans as dis-
tinguished from the Democrats, is incompatible with
liberty. It ignores the right to disagree. It will
not tolerate adverse or hostile discussion. It pro-
tests against personal liberty. it sets the theory
above the fact. It would render the drinking of a
glass of wine in the State of Maine as great a social
sin, or public treason, es the holding of a black man
in bondage in South Carolina. It loudly asserts its
own freedom to do what it pleases, but will not
allow a dissentient the same privilege. It would
thrust its principles down the throat of recalcitrants
at the point of the bayonet. With all its faults it
may succeed in the effort to make a nation of the
Northern people, but if it do, it will be at the ex-
pense of every constitutional right which Americans

the despotism is coming. Mr. Lincoln is in reality
a more imperious autocrat than the Emperor of
Russia, and will be the precursor of a second despot
more iron-handed and intelligent than himself if
the war be much longer protracted. A strong war
and a weak Government cannot coexist on the same
soil. To carry on a great domestic war there must be
a strong Government. A strong Government must
be a centralisation. A centralisation must be a des-
potism. The Republicans, true to their despotic

—and not a moment too soon. It hopes to secure
the Government when Mr. Abraham Lincoln shall
have returned to practise law in the little Western
village which he ought never to have quitted ; but
it does not know what may
happen in the interval,
He cannot be dethroned for two years without a
coup d'etat, and such violent measures are not
(yet) to the taste of the Americans. During those
two years events may totally change the character
of the people, as well as of their institutions. In
this Congress the Democrats are in a helpless
minority in consequence of the secession of the
South. The Republicans are doing their
utmost in
the few remaining days of its existence to cut from
under the feet of the democracy
all the planks of its
platfcrm. They justify the President in every ar-
bitrary act which he has committed or sanctioned,
especially in the suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus, and yesterday passed a bill through the
House of Representatives which makes him virtual
master of the personal liberty of every man in the
country. One of the shining lights of_the Senate

TEETH.-By MR. ESKFLL'S INVENTION
(Royal Seal granted 17th July, 1860), Sets or partial
Lets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and
fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and
imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad-
heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or
unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by t"e closest
observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention
is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to
any change of the month (even by the wearer); and as they
act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth
of ordinary construction, they a, e guaranteed tt. last a life
time, as well as for mastication and artics
