We have always warned our readers
that the present so-called Republican par
ty was the party Of despotism and not oi
freedom. When they were making their
loudest pretensions Of devotion to freedom.
wedid not fail to declare thatdevotion tonegro
freedom meant hatred to white mems lib
critics. We have shown repeatedly how ex-
actly Identical the two are. One cannot
be carried out unless at the expense and
destruction of the other. But it is really
beca use this party hate the equality Of
white men that they have hypocritically
profcssed to an exclusive Devotion to free
dom. In saying this. we do not wisl. to te

party. Hundreds aud thousands of hon.
Est men. really Democrats at heart. have
been inveiglcd into this party upon the
idea that its devotion to negro freedom in
volved great and glorious principle. But
can they not see row that it is the same
old Federal Tory party in disguise? It
has been pretending to be devoted to free
speech. free press and freedom; but no
sooner has it obtained power than it ,nobs
newspapers. assasls private rights, and
tramples upon civil liberty. The old Fed

INVENTIVE GENIUS.
The editor of the Now York r

The editor of the New York Times,
ever since he made such straight work
among the Elbows of the Mincio," has
been daunted by no obstacle in the way
of his pet schemes. At the outset of the
war, when President Lincoln was in his
way. the editor proposed to "supcrcede'
him. with an appearance Of the utmost
simplicity in the feasibility and propricty
of that measure. At various times in the
progress Of the campaign, he has thrca-
tened Scott advised Butler, cautioned Pat
terson, and denounced Pierce, with a con-
tdence in his own ability to finish out of
hand the task at which they arc "bung-
ling" which argues not only the most un-
bounded sclf-complacency. but a genius in
self-estimation of the highest order. A
few days since, he gravely proposed that
the commerce Of New Orleans and Charles
ten should be compelled to enter and
clear in New York, the forbidding Mega
tive Of the constitution being offset by bis
permission. And now in His last issue he
finishes up the final settlement of the
Southern question, with u dash Of his pen
that shows the wonderful fertility of his
taltnt for invention.
lie assumes that after the South is
conquered, there will he some inquiry as
10 what shall be done with .'tte revoltcd
States" lie finds no difficulty in furn-
ishing an answer, '.that an act of Con-
gress be passed repeating the acts by which
they entered the Union, thus restoring
them to the condition of Territories ="
The editor is in no wise daunted by the
fact, (Which would have been an obstacle
to writer Of ordinary intelligence that
quite number OF the seeded States ne
vcr were ''Terri,orics" of the United
States; were not admitted into the Union
by ian nc. of Congress" and cannot
therefore be restored to that condition.
Nay, he even instances South Carolina as
one of the States which should thus be
dealt with. Of course the fact that there
is no such net referring to that State to be
repealed, would make but little difference.
This, ''crror of youth could be remcdied
by an cxpost facto law, and the whole
thing Gxcd exactly as the editor Of the
Times dcsircs. We know of nothing in
the way, which the editor would rcgar,l as
any especial hi,drance in the colsumina-
tion Ut bis prcject.--N. j. Jc.a"m Of
Commerce.

DEPARTURE OF THE KENTUCKY GRAYs.-
The Kentucky Grays left yesterday after
noon, by way of the Covington and Lexing-
ton Railroad, for Camp Bruce, lately estab'
lished on Rankin's farm, near Cynthiana.
The force which is and will be collected at
that place, it is hoped, will be sufficient to
overawe the Secessionists, 80 that no more
outrages will be perpetrated similar to those
which lately occurred in that vicinity. The
Grays, under Captain Tyrack, will be an eff
cient company, and will be valuable addi-
tion to the emigrants to Harrison County.

POLICE COURT ITEMs.-There were about
the usual number and variety of cases on the
docket yesterday morning. Among the rest
were the following:
boy named Michael Patton, eight years
of age, who had been caught in the act of
taking some silver out of a drawer in saloon
on Thirteenth street, near Main, was sent to
the House of Refuge. His father was brought
into the room, but manifested Indifference on
the subject, or rather pleasure, at the pros
pect of having the cost of the boys support
removed from him.
William Kessinger, for assault and battery,
was fined SO and costs. VIM. Jones, for
stealing butter in the Fifth-street Market,
was held to bail in the sum of $780, for trial
on Wednesday next.
Jas McMullen was fined SO and costs for
disgraceful conduct on the corner of Liberty
and Main. VIM. Janson and Jno. Hoffman,
two ebon-hued individuals, were caught
on Hunt and Broadway, with two coffee
sacks under their coats, one of which con-
tained bottle of whisky and some knives,
and the other some blood and chicken
feathers. AS they were evidently on a
foraging excursion among the hen-roosts of
the neiebboThood, and as, moreover, the
sacks bore the name of well-know firm,
from which they had probably been stolen,
the men were sent for thirty days where
they would get plenty of chickens twice a
week.
Two negroes named Donnelly and Casey
were held over to the Court of Common
Pleas, under $500 bonds, for breaking into
the store of Hickey & Carroll, and stealing
from the safe $50 in cash.
