As general thing the voting commenced carly,

Of respectable citizens at toe POLLS unusualy large.
The absence Of the rough men who make trouble at
these places was quite noticeable. While this was in

class in our city regiments isn the main due TO the
rreeaution taken in advance by order Of the secrc
hry Of War. II is estimated that difference OF
several thousand vo.es WAS made in the aggregate
Democratic poll by the exclusion Of foreigners who
bad obtained exemption from the draft on the ground
Of alienage, and who dare not attempt to vote FOR
fear Of being arrested for perjury. The most novel
feature OF the election was the pcrson8 appeal Of
Gen. Walbrdgc TO the electors of bis District after
he English fashion. With band Of musicians and
train Of carriages he passed through tie streets,
Stopping at convenient points TO address The people.
Even in the portions OF the city Inhabited by the

little or no disturbance, and reporters met few

The Subjugation of the South.

Can the spirit of the South be subducd
by the sword? We regret, for the glory
of the nation, that this demand must be
answered in the negative. Carnage has
continued too long for the temper of the
Coniederates ever to acknowledge itself
defeated by the North. Fighting only
increases bitterness between the two Sec
tons of the country. We have great
power. 1t may be allowed that we centu r
pie the South in military resources and
that by the application of our means, we
are certain to make the enemy lay down
his arms. But this would not be break
ing down the spirit Of the South. Have
Russia and Austria subdued the Poles p
They have not, and they never will be
able to break the spirit of that noble peo-
pie. Has England subdued Ireland 1t
has been trying to effect that fell purpose
for seven centuries: but the Irish to-day
are rebels. ireland, Hungary, Poland,
are in military possession Of the enemy {:
but such state is not of peace but of war.
So it will be with us-if things continue
as they are. We can take Charleston
Savannah, Richmond, and all the othe
cities of the South but when we have
them we must garrison them with large
bodies of troops, and we must keep them
continually garrisoncd if we mean to hold
them. This will not be peace but war
Are we then to let the South erect itself
into a new nation? Compromise, in
which the dignity of the Empire would be
endangered must never be thought Of -
But as the spirit of the South cannot be
tanned by fighting or by conquering, an
armistice might be tried. There has been
no fighting of any consequence for a
number of weeks: an armistice might have
been successfully tried during that period
If the North and South changed places,
could the South subdue the North !?
Never ! The fact cannot be disguised,
we cannot subdue the spirit of the South
by the sword Will our rulers operate by
this fact? VIII the people compel oper-
alton by it? Time will vindicate us in the
response that as it is attended to will be
the peace, prosperity, and integrity of this
nation. Alas that such speculations must
be made on the United States Boston
idiot.

Let Us Have a Crisis.

When this war commenced, the north
ern people confessed the simple truth that
it must be either a short and quick war,
or war of permanent misfortune and disas-
ter. Both instinct and reason taught the
people this. Time is daily proving it.
Reunion or separation, the north is daily
losing its relative preponderance of power.
Two years ago the south was composed
wholly Of agricultural states. She had
no navy, no manufactures-no nothing but
corn, tobacco, rice and cotton. The war
has developed the south in all the respects
in which she was before weak. Her slave
system has been proved source of immu-
table strength in war. She is establish
ing manufactures of every nature through
out her border. The skill of her mechan-
les has been developed to miraculous de-
gree. She is organizing u navy, which
though not large, is still gigantic in COM
parison with her strength in that respect
eighteen months ago. In ever depart
ment Of industry, that hitherto weak,
hel pless and dependent section has laid
the foundation of future wealth, strength
and independence. 1t is folly to deny
facts SO important and so manifest
This is an argument in favor of an
early termination of strife between the
sections, which it is suicide for the north
to ignore. In commercial sense, peace
two years ago would have been worth to
us double what it is now. In the same
senSa neaca NOW Ia worth douhla wbot ~
will be two years heuce.-MW News.

Where is the Hon. John Covode?

Astounding frauds p These words meet us
at every turn, and yet we hear nothing of John
Covode and his famous Investigating Committee.
1t is true that no Presidential election takes
place next fall, but there will be one two years
hence--and the books manufactured by the Com
mittee with the distinguished gentleman from
Pennsylvania at its head, would certainly con-
tain vast amount of valuable information for
the people. Paper, to be sure, is very high, but
as this Administration does not seem to regard
expenses as matter of much moment, it would
be WE'LL we think, to have this Committee again
at work. 1t accomplished a vast amount of la
Dor during the administration of Mr.. Buchan-
an, and as the Democratic party is not dead yet,
the people ought to be kept informed of its do
ings. Besides, it would be interesting to learn
something of the doings and management of
another party about this time; but this, it
seems, we are not to know. Abolitionism is de-
termined its record shall not be seen. Every CT
fort thus far made in Congress to show to the
world its corruptions and mal-practices, have
been voted down by party vote; but the time
will come, and it is not far distant, when the
world will see their record, and when it is spread
before the country, and full disclosure Of facts
are made, its authors will receive that condem-
nation which always awaits the wrong-doer.

Tn this respect. / thank God. there has

In this respect, thank God, there has
been mistake 1t is true that he is a
young man, of not much means OF influ-
ence; it is also true that he has young
wife (married not long siuce); and for no
assigned cause, and for no assignable
cause, that those in power dare to give
breath to, he is taken away from home,
without giving to his wife an instant's in
terview or chance to see him. Is this
country the France of a century ago?
The young man is the grandson of that
Uriah Tracy who lived and died Sena-
tor of the United States from Connecticut,
who was buried in the Congressional bury
ing ground at Washington, and whose
ashes are insulted by this atrocious in
vasion of the liberties of the people in the
person of his descendant.
[ am not speaking merely my own opin-
ion of such arrests. [ know the opinions
and the feelings of many of my brethren
of the bench. And if the government is
really DESTROYS of SO proceeding as to make
it our duty to make public our opinions,
they will be heard, not merely in the writ
of habeas corpus, but in open declaration
to the world
Had been few hours earlier made
aware in this case, | should not have trou-
bled you with word; but | would have
seen that the process of the Supreme Court
of this State was so executed as to protect
its citizens accused of such oAenses from
any arrest, other than one under the ap-
propriate process of the courts.
| beg again to assure you, in all SINGER
ity, this kind Of proceeding has gone too
far already, and that, while to the last of
men and our means we are ready and de-
termined to sustain the law, and the gov
ernment in enforcing the law over this
whole land as one country, we are also de-
termincd to be judged by the law, and
not by the Secretary or any one who is
not commissioned for that purpose. We
know and acknowledge the rules of war,
where the necessity of the case requires
the existence of martial law But we

ton.

ernment's taking any course to injure it.
