what they SO unblushingly deny, that the

The Chronicle, the organ Of the lin.
coin Government, published in Washing
ton City and edited by q man holding a
high position under Secretary Seward, in
a lengthy article on the resources Of the
North, and its ability to suhjugate the
South and rule the country in its own
way, and the essentials Of strong govern.
mcnt, boldly prOclnims the policy Of the
Administration in the following signiiican,
language. We ask the friends Of free
government to read it carefully. The
Chronicle, speaking the sentiments Of
Seward, says:
"The United States will hereafter RELY uron
the ballot box and HE carFridye k,r-mOt alone
upon intelligent voters gong tn the Va,llA al

ot the b"ldesi aud most earnest Administration
and execution "f the laws. and in favor Of the
most intrepid and straightforward representa-
iives, but upon nm army IL soldiers ready "a
back up their votes with urms--iO leave the
field Of political conflict IOr he futile .6ehi."
Here 1t is explicitly declared, by MI
authorized org0" Of the Administration,
that the cartridge box is to control the
ballot box; that the bayonet, and not in.
tclligcnce and the voluntary sufFragcs Of
free people, is to determine the result
Of elections, lIircling soldiers are TO take
possession Of the polls, and intimidate
frcemtn from voting their sentiments
compel the voter to indOrSc the action OF
the Administration, or drive him, at the
point Of the bayonct, from the polls! 4
more Calling despOtiS,n could not be fore
Swallowed. and no doubt the Republicans
intend to do all here indicated, and much
more. il they possess the power. The
Constitution and laws are to be trampled
upon to sustain q tyrannical Administra.
ton. Force is to be used, and that Of the
most dctestabIe character, to keep in
power the Republican party. The right
of suffrage, right dear to every liberty.

to deprive the opponents Of the Republi-

THE San Francisco Times, the organ Of
the straight.out Republicans, thinks it
disgrace 70 the State that the Democrats
should have been allowed to hold 4 Con-
ventiOn in Sacramento! Less than year
ago the Times was fierce in is advocacy
Ofthc freedom Of speech, NOW it wishes
It suppressed. We do not blame the
Times. Freedom Of speech would newt
able expose the imbecility, dishonesty and
tyranny of the Lincoln administration, and
. betrayed and indignant people would
rise in their majesty and hurl it from
pOwcr;-therefOre freedom Of speech must
not be allowed to the opponents Of the
Administration.

FHEEDoM ~ THE SLAVES Nashua
New IInmpShire) GGEette has the follow
ing in regard to the objects Of the war =
"SOme of thc Republicans in this section
assert that the present is a contest be-
tween free labor and slave labor. In other
words, that il is the great step in advance
which is to est06lish the freedom Of the
sIarcs Of the South. If such be the view
Of the subject, it is en- unconstitutional
war, a war that the conservative men Of
North will not uphold. The people Of
the North have no constitutional right to
shape the contest SO as to abOlish slavery.
They are willing to sustain the Govern
ment in just war, but they will not as
sist to free the slaves Of the South"

Az EEVECrvE SPEAKEK.--In the Re-
publican Convention, just before taking
the vote, VI. Compton rose in his place
and powerfully opposed the nomination Of
Mr- Carpenter for County Clerk Ills
speech had significant cffect-certainly
catering to COmptOn's eloquence. Bcfor.
he made It Carpenters chances for a
nomination were decidedly sIi'n-aftcr he
made Il Carpenter had dead thing on
It! The President, with a sly wink Of
malice, announced the result Of the bal
lot: Carpenter, SO votes; Hubert, Comp
toms candidate, II! Approaching Comp
toms ability ss speaker, the Convention
victimized him by nominating him for the
Legislature. An efFcctual way Of diSpO-
Sing Of the sparkling and unobtrusive

\ REPUBLCAN TRAIToR-The st. Louis
Democrat Republican orgnn) says that
Or. Charles Hughes, Of Davenport, Iowa,
ian ardent Republican, has been detected
in reasonable correspondence with some
Of the secessionistS in Missouri and other
States. He was confronted by some Of
the citizens Of Davenport, and required
either I" take the oath Of allegiance
tO the Union and the Constitution, or leave
the city. Refusing to take the oath. he
was given twelve hours to leave. II is
more than probable that many who have

there is much distrust, both among off.
