With regret of the death of Hon. LUTHER

was sudden and unexpected, as he gener-
ally enjoyed vigorous health. Mr.. II.

5ielitv and ability in the discharge Of all
Of his duties which had given him de-
served influence in that body, and his
presence will be missed there, as we'll as
70 his own State. Mr.. Hanchett had just
been reelected for second term by a
complimentary majority, and we can only
say that he departs this life 10 the prime
OF his usefulness. Mr. uanchett had not
passed his 37th year. twill be renem-
bered that he is the son-in-law of the
bravo Col. ALLAN, of the 9th regiment,
"ho was killed at the battle of Shiloh.

Congressman Hanchett, at his residence
at Power in Portage county, on Monday

rhe Presidents Logic.

The Boston Courier, in an article on that por-
ton of the Presidents message which attributes
the cause of the war to the existence of slavery,
says:
Mr.. Lincolns ingenious, though not original
observation. that, if there had been no slavery
there would have been no rebellion. has some
times been compared with the equally logical Sc
quence, that ii no one Travelled on the highways
with money in his pockets, there would be no
highwaymen. The truth is. we may begin in
such a chain of reasoning just where we see fit.
If the world had not been created, with various
races upon il, of diverse characteristics, capaci-
ties and dispositions; If the necessities, opin-
ions, or prejudices of society were not such as
they are, we should have had no freesoil party,
no Chicago platform. no division among ths Dem
ocratic party, giving the opportunity for the Re-
publican minority TO succeed, and consequently,
no Mr. Lincoln for President. In the latter case
we should, of course, have had no rebellion.

A Fleet After the Alabama.
The New York World of the l2sh says


Ii il not worth while 10 conceal the fact that q
whole feet of steamers are after the Alabama.
The Vanderbilt sailed yesterday from the
Lights" direct to Fayal. and runs fair chance
of falling in with the pirate on the way. She is
supposed to meet there two United States steam
men of-war, detached from a foreign squadron,
and the three will then take different course.
The names of the stesmers cannot be given. Al
the Brooklyn Navy-yard, at present. there are
two splendid regular navy steam frigates. and
one "ten- knot steamer" all of which will be off
in few days. At Boston another fine fast
steamer is ready to leave. One left Phadel
phia on Thursday; another started from Ports
mouth. N H.. on Monday, and FIVE have taken
their departure from this and other ports within
few days OF them all, however, only one, the
Slettn, prize steamer. built expressly to run the
blockade and subsequently captured by our ships,
is probably fast enough to catch the Alabama.

rs Forney nd the other parasites crack the
party whip loudly. They say that every officer
of the Government who does not sustain the acts
of the Administration, embracing the peculiar
principles OF the Republican party, will be re-
quired to walk the plank i Boston Post
That's right; turn them all out. The Demo-
crat who would sustain the illegal and unconsti-
tutional acts of this Administration, for the sake
of an office little or big, is no friend of the
Union. The patriotic citizens who voted and
triumphed in the late elections have no use for
such people, and if they desire to adopt "the
peculiar principles of the Republican party" in
the name of heaven let them stay with the
traitor FoRSLY. Democrats and conservatives
have no room in their ranks for the purchased
tools Of this Abolition Administration. Let
every Forneyte. of high and low degree. kennel
with the dogs who bark for their master.

Just and Proper Comments Upon tn,
Foolish Speech OF Joe- wright of I'm
diana.


Mr.. Wright moved TO amend the resolution so
as to make the call upon the President instead OF
the Secretary OF War. In n time like this he was
willing 10 trust the President, and he wanted none
of that miserable doctrine that could be loyalty to
the Government and disoyalty to the Admins
tration. There was only an unconditional loyalty
to the Government and the party in power at
time Tx this.
According to this absurd Mr.. Wright, the peo-
pie, who have just been voting down "the party
in power at the November elections, are all
'disloyal." The entire city of New York, where
the Republicans were not able to elect even a
Common Councilman, must be STEPPED 10 the
eyes ard ears in treason ditto, New Jersey; ditto,
Ohio, Illinois, and old Connecticut even, (if town
elections mean any thing) The Senator from
