Very Despotic Species Of AutAort-
ty.-The Times considers the sove-
reign assumptions neutrality-suspicious.
er by President Lincoln as investi-
eating him ''with a very despotic
species Of authority" and thus deliv-
ers itself in reference thereto
We seem in reading such reports
to be carried away from Republican
Washington to Milan under the Aus
trian or Naples. under the Bourbon
rule. TO complete the picture, We
actually find in the land of political
liberty and social freedom the abrupt
establishment of a system which the
old States of Europe seldom ventured
to defend, and have now begun to
discard. Passports are dispensed
with over many parts Of the Cont
nent, but they are rigol ously insiS
ted on in the United States. It is
not merely on the frontier between
the two armies that these documents
are required. No person whatever
can depart from any port of the Uni
ted States, Or land at any port Of the
United States without a passport
from the Federal Government \
Traveller would find himself at more
liberty in Venice than in New
York
We are not rejecting upon tho
edits as unnatural or otherwise
They jar strangely, it is true, with
our ideas of America and its institu-
tons, but they are the unavoidable
incidents of war. President Lincoln
could do no less, and we are fully pre-
pared, indeed, to find that he does IL
great deal more. War has brought
a host Of exigencies in its train. If
the President is no longer merely
the Chief Magistrate of the people,
but the head of the National forces,
he must exercise something like mill.
tary authority. The institutions OF
peace must give way to the necessi-
ties of war, and the people see this
as well the Government. A New
York journal has actually cried aloud
fora censorship Of the press, and any
calculated to give vigor to the Ad-
ministration would probably meet
, with general approval. All such
acts, however, must needs tend in
one way-to the limitation of public
liberties and the extension Of official
: power. This much is inevitable,
and the only point, indeed, admitting
Of questions, is the impression likely
to be left hereafter on the institutions
of the country. Will the Americans,
when the war is concluded, return to
their old forms Of fGovernment? We
doubt it much.
5 Women's RigAts.-To have new
bonnet at every full moon.
To get married when she likes and

Il To have and to hold as her right
