The April Election.

The Hendricks Ledger has the following
timely and judicious remaks concerning the
Importance Of the April election. We
hope that every Republfcsn win read them
and act in accordance with the suggestions
made:
Brother Republicans, do you know that
in one week from Monday the April cleo
ton for 1861 comes off?
1t is small election. but "straws show
which way the wind blows.D 81 4.
News is now coming over the wire of the
Spring elections East. and those elections
show that Republicanism is on the rise.
Francis Granger said for the State Of
New York in the late Peace Convention,
that If the November elections were to 60
over again. New York would 60 hundred
thosuand votes against the Republicans.
But the Spring election in New York
shows that the wish of Francis Granger
was father to the thought. New York is
Republican to the core. And we must
show week from next Monday that Hen
bricks county takes no step backward,
that we still hold Unionism and Republi-
canism to be one and the same.
Select your best men for yonr several
offices. aud then come out and elect them
Don't carelessly stay at home and suffer
bad man nominated or a good man beat
en- because it is n small affair. Every vote
in the right direction this Spring adds
strength to the arms of Abraham Lincoln.

We commend the following article from
the Cincinnati Gazette ofTuesday, to those
Democrats W have been rejoicing tina.
Fort Sumter was to be surrendered to the
| traitors:
We again caution thosepeople who as
sumo that the Administ ration ia about IN
adopt the Submission policy, that they
should not too hastily jump at that extra
ordinary conclusion. 1t will be seea from
the regular Washington dispatches, tina,
even the abandonment of Fort Sumter is
by no means so definitely settled as we
have been told. The gossip mongers have
a COOL deal to answer for, in regard to the
stories they daily send out through the
country. on matters about which they can
not have any positive knowledge. AT
least, when the reports Of one day are di-
rectly contradicted on the next, we must
hesitate to give their words implicit cre-
dence.
We fear these reports are getting less
and less reliable. The present Admins
tra;ion is much more reticen< than. its. pre.
decessor. and hence the glib accounts we
have of its graver deliberations. rom day
to day, must be received with more than
usual allowance.
If the nearly universal sentiment of at
least the Northwest is to be shockef nv
the surrender of Fort Sumter. it cannot be
otherwise than from humiliating neces-
sity. When it is added that Fort Pickens
will also be abandoned, or that the sup
plies are getting short there, too, and a
surrender is under discussion in Cabinet
council. do not believe word of it. No
such necessity exists there. Such a sur.
render can ouly be thought of as part OF
"univer sal submission policy, tina,
would not be tolerated in solitary State

COLLECTIONS OF the Resenue-A Practical
Question.

Question.
One Of the most immediate and pressing
questions which must occupy the attention
of the Administration is, in what way the
revenue collection in the seeded States is
to be treated? Mr. Lincolu's Inaugural
gives MS to undcrsta and that it is to be col
lected, though we understand there are
persons who think it ought not 10 be col :
lected at all. In the latter case, a greater
practical difficulty is presented, by far,
than in the former. The tariff in the Sc
ccssion States is much lower than in the
United States. If no interruption be put
in the way Of foreign commerce and i'm
ports in those States, that commences in

exercised. and in the mode defined by the
Constitution. Much ingenuity had been
called forth in support of the right Of null

Cottonia aa Aristocracy.

Monsieur DEBow, the reviewer. is one
of the chief authorities of the Secessionists
in craftsmanship and political economy
He scouts the vulgar idea of democracy,
as any man properly conscious of the Dig
nifty of an aristocratic prefix to his name
might be expected to do. He sees far
deeper into the philosophy of Secession,
too. than those superficial thinkers who at
tribute the whole difficulty to the negro
He says:
1t is a gross mistake to suppose that
Abolition alone is the cause of dissension
between the North and the South. The
Cavaliers, Jacobites and Hugucnots who
settled the South naturally hate. contemn
and despise the Puritans who settled the
North. The former are master races--the
latter a slave race. descendants of the Sax
on serfs. The former are Mediterranean
races, descendants of the Romans: for
Cavaliers and Jacobites are of Norman de-
scent, and the Normans were of Roman
descent. and SO were the Huguenots. The
Saxons and Angles. the ancestors of the
Yankees, came from the cold and marshy
regions of the North. where man is little

doubtless, he would describe. by contrast,
as "hot blooded, pachydermatous quad
ruped" perhaps with elongations. If he
looks in mirror for his type.
But we come now to the grand political
distinction between these two hostile and
very unequal races-a distinctions which,
according to Monsieur DEBow, underiies
the whole Secession movement Aristoc-
racy, and an irrepressiblc longing for .
more perfect oligarchic government. are at
the bottom of it all. He proceeds.
We are the most aristocratic people in
the world. Pride Of caste, and color, and
privilege makes every white man an aris-
iocrat in feeling. Aristocracy is the only
safeguard of liberty. the only power
watchful and strong enough to exclude
monarchial despotism At the North. the
progress and tendency of opinion is TO
pure democracy. less government. anarchy
and agrarianism. Their hatred of the
South will accelerate this noxious current
Of opinion. and anarchy viii soon wind up
in military despotism. There will be as
many little military despots as there are
now States. for no usurpcr will WELD
means sufficient to conquer or fuse into
one several States. 1t viii be great i'm
provement in Northern affairs, and the
sooner it comes about the better.
The profundity Of the above is. of course
apparent to every reader. We hope our
great Southern philosopher will favor us
with some more Of his sagacious and orr
ginal observations. I.
