u.s. The N. Y Herald gives a gloomy
account of political affairs in the North
He says that the politicians, of the Greedy
school, are striving to supplant Lincoln on
account of his conservatism, and that the
Democrats are striving for the ascendency
over both wings of the Abolition party, and
that, between the two, volunteering is at a
dead stand and confusion and discomfort
are on the increase. We are. satisfied that
the picture is not overdrawn, and that its
coloring will receive darker hue as bleak
winter develops its multiform miseres.

ssA. Prentice has been too successful in
impressing his friends with the belief that
there would be no necessary for their tax
ing up arms in Kentucky. He overreach-
ed himself in trying to ovcrreach them, and
now that the time has come for their be-
trayal into the hands of Lincola, they
heed not his call to arms, and hold fast to
the neutrality he has been so long teach
ing them TO observe. The Home Guards
were his pets, and he admits that there are
not twenty of them in camp. Upon the
State Guards, he heaped epithets and cur
ses, and nearly all of them are in camp
but not in Lincoln's, and he finds, when
too late, that in urging upon the people a
sham neutrality he has disarmed thosewho
confded in him, and doubly armed those
who despised his treason,

BE- The Governors Message we will
lay before our readers next week. Both
Houses of the Legislature are getting to
work in earnest, and in both, moves have
been made towards the Immediate re-dis-
tricting the State, and as the Census re-
turns are before them, and there ought to
be no effort at "gerymandering," it seems
to us that the work can be done in few
days, thus removing all difficulty about the
proper mode of electing the members Of
Congress.

s~ The Richmond Wing suggests that
the Confederate Constitution be so amend
cd as to make the eldest Senator President
of the Confederaey FOR two years, He
thinks shis viii more effectually carry out
the Confederate idea, and that the short
term Of service may prevent all danger Of
Executive usmpations. Much may be
said ON both sides of the question, but it
would be a difficult matter, we think, to
reconcile public opinion TO so radical a
change IN the mode of choosing a Presi-
dent 1t is obvious, 10 us, that the pres
ervation of the Confederate feature Of the
Governmont demands great cuftailment
Eof Executive patronage, and the limitation
of the powers of the President within the
narrowest scope compatible with the eff
Gent execution Of the laws; but we are nOt
prepared 10 say that this can not be done
without a change IN the manner Of his
election, and the term of his service. State
sovereignty and strong Executive are in
compatible elements Of the government,
and the one or the other must be greatly
modified before the practice and the theory
can be made to harmonic.

Bay Abe, Lincoln protested against
Fremont's plan of emancipating slaves, but
has not a word to say against the negro
stealing operations of his army on the Po-
tomac. We would like to know the prac
tical difference between emancipation by a
bogus deed, and emancipation by theft and
removal. The long. legged scoundrel fears
the effect of the former mode upon his
cause in Missouri and Kentucky, aud con-
hives at the more disreputable plan be-
cause it may seem to be without authority

rsg- The numerous announcements o

1AC The numerous announcements of
candidates for the various offices of the two
Houses of the Legislature cheated as, for
moment, into the belief that we were
back in the old UnioR. 1t is difficult to
realize the fact that, in the New Confeder-
acy, the people have initiated the same
game of efice-hunting which tended so
largely to break up the old one. 1t must
be gratifying 10 the Yankees to perceive
that years Of evil association, with them
selves, have engrafted upon Southern char
acter the germ of self destruction, and that
the birth of the Confederate Government
is scarcely announced ere the infant giant
begins to display the traits of premature
vice. We, of the South, have much to I'M
learn before we are fitted for the career of
true greatness opened up by this revolu-
ton. We must learn that it is not every
man who seeks Office that is fit to hold it,
and that ambition is cftener based upon
self-love than an earnest and patriotic de-
sire to serve the country. We must learn
that, to be really useful, man must COM
bine stern integrity with tried ability, and
that, to be true to our own best interests,
we must discard personal and political pre-
objections in canvassing the merits of as
pirants. Already we see the ambitious
crowding every avenue that leads TO official
position, whether civil or military, and al
ready we hear the people asking counsel of
their passions and prejudices--more anx-
ious to learn the political antecedents of
the candidate than his real fitness for the
place he seeks, This policy is not only
unwise, but suicidal, and to reverse it, it is
necessary that each individual should hon.
cstly analyze his own motives of action,
study his interests as freeman and as a
component part of the body polite, and
shape his conduct by the light of reason
and experience AS a partizan, he can
mover be anything better than the tool of
demagogues and as the slave of his pre-
JUDGES, he is a dangerous enemy to the
liberties of his country, This is the part
too many of us played under the old Gov
eminent, and the result is a discovered
Union, violated Constitution, and the TO-
tai destruction, at the North, of every ell
ement of freedom. The cause and effect
are both before us. The lesson they teach
is being written in the best blood of the
South, and to profit by it, to the fullest
extent, let every man resolve to eradicate
every vestige of party feeling, and base all
his political acts upon the intrinsic merits
of the men and measures that are to shape
the policy of the Government. The body
polite is made up of individuals, and the
character of the whole must depend upon
the character of its parts A virtuous
constituency is the only security for an
honest administration, and liberty can not
survive the purity of the ballot box
These truisms are now receiving the en-
dorsement of the bitterest experience, which
imparts warning that the people of tn,
South should never forget
