OF his hearth-stone from arbitrary invasion, and

restraint. these constitute the Urm and the Thum-
i'm, the breast plate of light and truth round the
heart of the American citizen in the time Of tri-
al and danger; and when he demands rights that
have not been conceded to him, they will impart
a rich cloquence to his tongue, and the mighty
pathos of justice to his lips |, for my part come
veal or come woe, will demand at the hands Of
the legal tribunals of my country full redress for
all the wrongs and outrages that | have been
made to suffer There are dastardly wretches in
your midst. who, understand have been iGstru-
mental in this arrest and for whom have no re-
gard and utterly despse. They will be shelter
ed by their own insignifcance; but there are 9TH
ers who shall be made to answer before the tribu-
nails the law has erected for the redress of njur-
les. know that there are many pseudo patriots
in your midst whose selfish regard for their per-
sona safety has kept them closely at home to spit
their spite and venom upon other men, and with
whom, as Aristophanes describes the Athenians,
mo matter what the olfense,
BE t great or small,
The cry is treason and conspiracy.'
These uuprinciped politicians are waiting for
chances when they can lasten like vampires on
the TANKS OF the Government, and suck substance
from this war and not death. In order TO ingra-
tlate themselves with the Administration they
spend their time, like noXious spiders. in spinning
webs whose threads are spun from their own fab
ricatng brains, with which 10 catch and entangle
the unwary. Let the Administration beware OF
these JOHNNY Hooks. these shoddy patriots-they
are enemies to this Government.
Remember that though liberty may be crushed
to the earth for time and wear the garments of
heayiness that the time must come when she shall
assert her supremacy once again. put on her
glorious apparel, grid her sword upon her thigh.
and make oppression and disloyalty take refuge
in their dcns Have an abiding faith in the stern
truth expressed in those glorious lines of Byran:
Truth crushed to earth. shall rise again
The eternal years of God are hers;
But Error, wounded writhes in pain,
And dies among her worshppers."

The Passport system.

We learn that the Superintendent of
Police, by orders of the Secretary of State,
now requires all passengers for California to-
procure passports before their departure.
whether their destination be Aspinwall or
San Francisco. In the official announce.
ment of the establishment of the passport
system, issued by the State Department In
August last, it is expressly stated that 'pass.
ports are issued gratutously in all cases."-
Notwithstanding this, we are informed that
charge Of two dollars per passport is made
at the office Of the government official who
issues them in this city. This is a very
heavy tax to be levied on the steerace pas,
sengers to California, who are generally not
over provided with money, and we cannot
think it was the intention of Mr.. Seward to
levy any such toll on the movements of our
citizens from one State of the Union to ano.
ther. The Superintendent of Police is au.
thorized to dispense with passports in the
case of poor a|iens-it is ony v poor citizens.

ism, no right thinking man can for moment
suppose. With the hosts of northern legions
at his command with an army the like of
which the world has seldom seen--Mr. Lin
coin may, and we trust will, break the back
of this rebellion. But more than that is
required. Bayonets cannot make a union
for a people and cement it in that affection
for the Government that shall render it
enduring. An element stronger and sen
timent more sacred must after all underie
the foundation of a government of States
united as one people-the sentiment of
natonality-of fraternity-of equality. To
these sentiments the democracy of the coun-
try has always been loyal, and the southern
people know it has been. To the democracy
will hearken--to their admonitons and
guarantees they will heed. The people of
the north now see and appreciate this, and
so as another lesson of the hour, we see
them calling our party back to power, and
to the control Of the government.
We have thus glanced briefly at the lessons
of this election. They are full Of instruction,
and we trust our Republican friends will
heed them.-=Lauzerne (Pa.) Union.

BURNING PorAro VINEs.-The Massachu-
sotts Ploughn'on says potato vines should be
thrown into heaps burned. The most plaus-
lble theory concerning the pototo rot is that
it is caused by very minute insect, not vis-
lble to the naked eye. Hy burning the Vi
mes millions of them are destroyed. The
vines are of but little value for manure.
Tho Ploughman also suggests that the tubers
at the time of planting should be dipped in
to potash water to prevent against the rot.
