CarliIe stumping for the south. ,

The Journal copies an extract from the Gren-
ada Mississippi Appeal, in which it is stated
that Mr.. CARLILE "is stumping the Western part
of Virginia against the war and in favor of the
South" The Journal knew that it was giving
currency to lie by publishing and indorsing
statement of that character. Mr.. CARLILE is not
stumping Western Virginia against the war or in
favor of the South. The Journal is the last
paper in the North that should charge any one
with uttering reasonable sentiments. 1t was
against the war before and after it commenced
1t pronounced secession revolution, and said
that the people of the South had the
right of revolution, if they chose to exercise it,
1t was in favor of peaceable separation-of let
ting all the States that desired to leave the Union
go in peace. -Four months after the fall of
Sumter, the Journal said that it had seen no rea-
son to change the opinions it had expressed
against civil war and in favor of disunion, and if
the rebels would lay down their arms it was still
in favor of letting them depart in peace. When
the Journal was advocating the right of seces-
sion, Mr.. CARLILE was in the Virginia Conven-
ton opposing it. He opposed it not only theo-
retically, but practically. He remained in the
Union To day. as he has always been, he
is in favor of the old Constitution and the old
Union. The trouble with the Journal so far as
Mr.. CARLILE is concerned, is, that he is not an
Abolitionist-he is not Black Republican. He
associated with them long enough to find out
their hypocrisy, that the emancipation of the
slaves was an object higher with them than the
maintenance Of the Constitution and the preser-
walton of the Union as it came from the men OF
the revolution. Because he can not have any
sympathy with Black Republicanism, the Jour
nal charges Mr. CARLlLE with uttering treason
able sentiments and with being a secession sym
pathiser, knowing both to be false. This charge
comes with i'll grace from paper which is an
open and persistent advocate of a peacable sep
aratiOn of the States.

The value of Buster.

Governor WRIGHT makes one grand point in
his rhapsodies before the people, for they can
hardly be called speeches-certainly not argu-
ments. He denOunces as traitors all who oppose
negro purchase and emancipation--all who de-
spise the iniquitious MORRILL, tarilf-all who OBJ
ject to the plumber of the treasury of the nation,
or who find fault with the conduct of the war.
This is about the burden of his harangues and
the staple of his wise craftsmanship
Since he sold himself to Governor MORTON,
and turned his political wares into tie RepublI-
can camp, he seems TO have lost all sense of
shame and the little political Independence he
once possessed. Gov. WRIGHT never had much
of the latter commodity, but that little he makes
willing sacrifice to his rapacity for Office
and pelf He is content to remain dumb in view
Of the unjust attempts to make his constituents
pay for Southern negroes, and to have them
shorn of their property to pamper the bloated and
purse proud aristocraey of manufacturing New
England In his greed for place. he humbles
himself at the feet of these men. and denounces
his old Democratic friends as traitors. because
thev are not as cowardly base and mean as he
has shown himself to be. FRANK BLAIR, his
Republican brother, denounced this MORRILL,
tariff in unmelsured terms, and JAMES WILSON
andG S. ORTH equally severe against the eman-
cipation purchase policy of Mr. LINCOLN. Are these
Republicans traitors? CRITTENDES and all the
Border State Union men in Congress, voted
against these measures Of iniqulty and injustice.
Are they traitors? Republican members of Con-
gress, and committees of Congress, impaled on
high the "thieves who plundered the Treasury"
and the Republican presses denounced the "rob-
bers who swindled the Government, robbed the
people, and stole from the soldiers in the field -
Ano are they traitors, too?
The whole truth is, that Governor WRIGHT,
living for four years at the seat OF a powerful
and corrupt monarchy in Europe has imbibed the
worst sentiments OF a despotic Government
Like all weak minded and unprincipled men, his
impressions of liberal government were easily
erased. and he returned from the Court of Berlin
with a thorough contempt for democratic institu-
tons he is for sitting the voice of the people
for putting down free discussion-fOr permitting
artificial weights to be put upon the shoulders of
the rhits man, and for throwing them from the
shoulders of the negro" In a word the man has
turned himself inside out and he moves about
like maniac, trying to make Democrats believe
that he only is honest, and that all others are
Secessionists and traitors. When Gov WRIGHT
makes such an exhibition of himself, and busters
to make some one believe that Democrat he is
still, let all the people laugh The whole thing
q funny.

From the Richmond Enquirer, Sept g.


Ii seems that the recent victories Of the Con-
federate army has aroused a feeling for peace
which is beginning 10 find public expression in
northern cities. We are informed that late
copy of the New York Times has been received
that says: "lf the combined armies oil Mcclellan,
Burnside and Pope are defeated, then for one
are for settlement We have not seen the pa
per, and do not know whether or not any qualih-
cations were added. Those who informed us of
the Times expression added that the whole tone
of the article was that of disappointment and
sorrow. Whether or not this statement is correct
We have no Coubt that thousands at the North,
who heretofore silently submitted 10 the popular
cry, will nov speak out aud demand peace. since
all their armies have been defeated, and no force

well enough to know that the surest guarantee of
an early peace, is the vigorous prosecution of

General who properly estimates the value of quick
and rapid movements; he is pressing forward to-
wards the enemy's country, and nothing but
speedy offer of the most favorable terms of peace

kind of warfare that has been practced by them
in the South. When the tact of invasion is for

terms of peace will be offered US.
The only returns which the Confederate States
can accept will be the immediate recognition of
the present Confederate States, and the permis-
sion to the other States TO elect their own destiny
and to decide whether their future shall be with
the Confederate States or with the United States.
We are of the opinion that the principle Of
election should be applied not only TO the Dor

New york Democratic state Convcn-


The Democracy of New York met in Conven-
ton at Albany on the 10th inst. The attendance
OF delegates was very large and the utmost en-
thusiasm and unanimity characterized its pro-
ceedings. BY reclamation the Hon. HoRArIo
SEYMOUR was nominated for Governor. The
nomination of such man, at the present time,
when the counsels of statesmen are needed to
guide the ship of State from the periIs which
beset her, augurs well. Mr.. SEYMOUR is a states
man, n patriot and an honest man. The brief
report Of his speech, which we append. is evil
dence, if his past history did not amply illustrate
the qualities conceded to him, that he is the man
for the times and eminently fit to be placed in
power. He denounces in bold ter.as the
Ubiquitous radical legislation OF Congress, which.
by its disregard Of the Constitution and the spirit
of our institutions, was giving aid and comfort
not only, but even justification to the rebellion.
Mr. SEYMOUR was for standing by the Govern
ment, giving il all the men and money ii required
for the suppression of the rebellion, but holding
the party in power and the Administration to a
strict accountability for the use of the means
placed in their bands. In regard to slavery, he
was for letting it take the consequences OF the
war, but he was opposed to waging he con-
test solely for its destruction. This is the po-
sition o. the Democracy everywhere. Most

Lovejoy Coming out.

Chicago correspondent Of the St. Louis
Republican gives the following account OF the
rapid progress madein manners and habits by the
Rev. OWEN LovEJoY, abolition member of Con-
gress from illinois,:
Lovejoy's life at Washington a member of
Congress and maker of Brigader Generals has
worked smart change IN his personal demeanor
and habits He has quit his preacherlike twang
and bis quotations and comparisons from sacred
writings, and adopted the slap dash style and
forms Of expression that belong to the political
buffer He is also ravenously fond OF gin slings
and whisky punches. and. people here say, some
times gets very comfortably "boozy."

A Republican Argument Against NO
Parfyism.

We call attention to the following bold denun-
citation of the attempt of the Republican leaders
to ste all discussion and criticism of the acts Of
the Administration. under the plausible but dan
gerous plea that no matter for what objects or in
what manner the war is prosecuted, that all who
do not sustain the powers that be. must be against
the Government. since the war began there has
been no factious opposition to the Administration.
Every requisition il has made upon Congress and
the people for men, money ard authority to sup
press the rebellion, has been promptly complied
with But this confidence and liberality upon
the part Of the people have been shamefully
abused. Recklessness. prohigicy and rascality
have characterized the war expenditures from the
beginning. Where has there been any economy
or regard for the public interests Fortunes
have been made by stealing from the Govern
ment and with the knowledge of those whose
business it was to protect its inter
ests. And why have these things been
permitted1 Because such patriots as
JoE WRIGHr have been going around the
country declaring il to be treason to question
any act Of those whom in the purer and better
days of the Republic were regarded public SER
vants-but who are now pronounced TO be "the
Go5ernmeBt." And in this light this same JoE
WRIeHr in speech at r publican meeting in
Madison the other day, and the sentiment re-
ceived the cordial applause of the Republicans,
declared that "every man who was not openly
for the Government lmeaning the party in pow
err, including himselO richly merted and should
promptly meet a traitors death" That's his
idea ofloyalty. 1t is not fidelity 70 the CoDstitu-
ton which should be regarded the first duty Of
the citizen, but open approval of all the
thevery, raseality and imbecility which has
characterized (and still cInracterizes) the con
duct of the war and the Infamous legislation Of
the present Congress. The people have no right,
say those advocates of no-partyism, to inquire
into and condemn corruption and partisan Iegisa-
ton. until We know whether we have Govern
ment and countryl And what is the result Of
such doctrinesg The war to suppress the rebellion
has been in progress year and half, and the
rebellion is stronger today than when the war
first commenced. The Government has accu-
muIated public debt Of thousand millions Of
dollars. and il Is being increased at the rate of

The reasonable Plots of the Radi-
calls.
The Washington correspondent of the New
y ork Herald says:

y ork Herald says:
Notwithstanding the fright occasioned by the
present condition of affairs to the radical agtators,
their denunciations of the present Administration
are of character quite as reasonable as any
thing ever uttered by the leaders of the rebellion,
if not more Only last night Senator Wilson,
OF Massachusetts, who is type OF this class, was
publicly nveighing against the Government and
denouncing TO a crowd of news hunters and news
paper correspondents that If this Government was
located in New York it would be overturned in
less than ten days, and provisional Government
established in its stead. This stated, not in
the way of threat. nor was it expressed as a
proposition OF the Senator himself, but was given
with emphasis which was peculiarly signif-
can't From other radical sources it is learned
that the purpose entertained by the friends Of
Fremont is to raise an independent force of fifty
thousand men, to be placed under his command,
and then to declare him military dictator, and al
low him to assume the direction of governmental
policy aud enforce his authority by the bayonet
These things are whispered in the corridors OF
the Capitol, and indicate the reasonable desires
of the Jacobns who have endeavored in vain to
pervert the policy of the Administration to their
own partisan purposes.
