The Administration and its minions continue
to make political arrests throughout the country.
The bastIes. and forts and Government buildings
are nearly full and the work of persecution con-
tinues undated. While free men speak in de
tense Of constitutional liberty, the alarm of con-
scous wrong doing seizes upon the men at Wash
ington and they stand confronted by an indignant
people. Desperation impels them on to acts of
vengeance, and the voice of free press and free
speech is hushed by the arbitrary power of mad
and fanatic Administration.
TIE last freak of condemned and usurped au-
thority has been played off at Baltimore, where
half dozen unconditional Union men"
have been seized and imprisoned because
they signed petition 10 the President
asking the removal of Major General JOHN
E. Wool, commandant at that post. on account
of his "lack of judgment and discretion and
because his great age units him for the duties Of
active service. The gentlemen thus arrested and

Governor of the State.
Governor BRADFoRD demanded and the Presi
dent ordered the release of these innocent
prisoners, whose only offense was that they
regarded Wool imbecie old MANIFEST
verging to senility and second childhood. If
that be an offense, we fear there are thousands
who think that the whole Administration is about
in the same interesting condition, or something
worse.
The elections in the Northwest prove quite
satisfactorily that confidence in our rulers is clean
gone in this latitude. IL men UiH act the fool,
or the knave, or the tyrant, how can honest peo-
pie help seeing il? It is the duty of the Admin
istration and its Abolition Generals to learn com
mon sense, and TO consider that the citizens Of
this nation have yet some interest in the Govern

The telegraph reports important changes in
the Cabinet. We have but little confidence in
these rumors. They probably grew out of the
fact that Mr., Secretary SMITH desires change of
position, surrendering responsible and perhaps
laborious Cabinet duties, for the more comfort
able, lifelong and highly respectable seat upon
the bench. In connection with these rumors II
is stated that our intensely energetic Governor
has been rendered various positions in the
reorganization Of the Cabinet. The friends OF
His Excellency say that under no circumstances
will he surrender his present position, nor will
they consent that he should, as the transfer would
turn the State over entire to Democratic ad-
ministration. If there is to be reorganization
Of the Cabinet, it is intimated that His Excel
lency would take the Premiership, but no other
place would tempt his ambition. Whatever 9TH
ers may think, our distinguished Govern is de-
cidedly of the impression that he has the talent,
the cultivation and the comprehensive statesman
ship to conduct our foreign relations in a man
ner unequalled by the eminent statesmen who
have graced that department of the Government
We have no doubt Mr.. LINCOLN appreciates the
eminent abilities of His Excelency and we should
not be surprised if he has determined to change
the timber of his Cabinet that o., as the editor
of the Journal Familiarity calls him, will become
Prime Minister.

Tall oaks from little acorns grow.

From the National Intell'gencer.
Discouraging the Proclamation

In some remark made in Boston on the 18th of
last month"; at the close Of one of the "Fraternity
Lectures" in course of delivery IN that city, Mr..
Senator Sumner held the following language in
allusion to the Proclamation of Freedom"
You must see to il that this proclamation is
absolutely recognized as law. 1t must not be
trihed with or discouraged. 1t has nothing to do
with philanthropy or Abolition anti slavery.
1t is put forth as military necessity, and stands
singly and conclus' vely on that ground. 1t is to
be sustained under the Constitution war
measure and for that cause alone. Ii has been
already decided that the man who discourages
enlistments is traitor: now say whoever dis
courages the emancipation proclamation of the
President is a traitor. That is my principle, and
l hope before month to see it the principle of
the whole county.
We suppose that not only those who, in obe-
dience to their convictions of law and duty, deem
the proclamation unconstitutional and insxpe-
dient, come within the scope of the Senator's
condemnation but also those who disparage its
terms as being unworthy of Christian people.
For instance DR.. Cheever, we should think,
makes himself amenabe to Mr.. Summers censure,
and threatened penalty when that divine holds
the following dercgatory language toward the
Presidential edct:
The heavens never beheld more deplorable
manifestation of national vanity and falsehood;
for in the manner of this declared act there is
nothing but the most unreseryed national selfish
ness Is there justice. nobleness. or humanity in
that7 Such principles taught by Christian
ton, can not but be deplorable to the last de-
gree
And in the last number of that anti slavery
organ. the New York Independent the procla-
nation as a living entity is discouraged" in the
following contemptuous terms:
"The proclamation was glorious man of-war
launched somewhat late, but capable, with an

We understand there Is considerable excite
ment among the paroled men about doing duty
in camp. Many of them think it a violation OF
their oath TO drill and stand guard.-IndianaPoii
Journal.
The Fourth Article of the Cartel entered into
between the Government and the rebel author
tiles on the twenty second of July last, Is as fol-
lows:
''All prisoners of to be discharged on
parole in ten days after their capture, and the
prisoners now held and those hereafter taken to
be transferred to the points mutually agreed
upon, at the expense of the capturing party. The
surplus prisoners not exchanged shall not be per
united to take up arms again, nor to serve as
military police or constabulary force in any fort,
garrison, or field work held by either of the re
spective parties, guards of prisoners depots,
or stores. nor to discharge any duty usually per
formed by soldiers, until exchanged under the
provisions of this cartel. The exchange is not
considered complete until the officer or soldier ex
changed for has been actually restored to the
lines to which he belongs"
1t thus appears with respect to "the paroled
men,, that, il IL is not "a violation of their oath
to drill and stand guard, it is violation of the
solemn engagement of their Government Our
authorities should be careful on this point

The Lesson.

The recent elections indicate, We may say they
exhibit, one of the most important revolutions in
political history. The great issue in controversy
was whether the radical measures of the party in
power should be sustained, or the Constitution as
it is and the Union as it was shall continue as the
political ark of the American people. Over
whelmingly has the popular sentiment been
expressed in favor of the policy which has been
so long and so successfully shaped the desti-
mics of the country. There can be no mistake
in the verdict OF the people. 1t is an emphatic
Reputation of the emancipation policy of the
President and Of Abotionsm generally. 1t is
an expression against all the unconstitutional
measures that have been employed in the prose
cuti0n Of the war. Il is a condemnation of ar
bitrary arrests of the suspension of the privilege
of the writ of habeas corpus, and of the right of
trial by jury, where the authority of civil law
and OF the Courts have not been obstructed 1t
is rebuke Of the violations of the freedom of
the press and OF speech when exercised for legiti-
mate purposes. These are the lessons which this
expression of public sentiment at the polls teaches
1t is overwhelming voice in favor of maintain
ing the Constitution as it Is and the Union as it
was, and for employing all just. honorable and
constitutional means for restoring the authority
of the Government, and effeetibg a lasting
peace between the two sections of the
country upon principles of fraternity by which
alone the Union can be maintained and
be made enduring. There can be 10 lasting
Union of the States unless the spirit of conces-
sion aniulates and governs the entire people
The Federal Government was founded upon con-
cession and compromise From the beginning
there was a conflict of interests, and the Union
could never have been formed if the opp esq
interests had not made sacrifices to each other
The Constitution was the result of compromise
The Union can MT survive unless the spirit
which animated its founders, now and hereafter
prevails. We have no more sagacity, wisdom,
or patriotism than the men whose valor. sacri-
fees, and endurance achieved our independence.
What they did we can do without any sacrifice of
principle, Of honor, or Of manIiness. Such we
believe 70 be the meaning of the great revolution
as expressed through the ballot-box. If the
Administration are wise they will heed this ex-
hibition OF the popular will and make every effort to
restore the national authority upon the principles
of the Constitution and maintain the just rights
Of all the States. No people have had better
Government, and If we are wise we will bold fast
70 that which we know to be good

We copy the following items IRON the Wash
ington dispatches to the Cincinnati Commercial,
dated 9Th inst:
The President has said that he would tender
SCHUYLER Colfax the Secretaryshp Of the Interior,
in the event OF Secretary Smiths acceptance of
the Judgeship.
1t is understood here that Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior Ushers Instructions are such
that in settling the Indian difficulties in Mnneso-

FROM the official list it appears that there
are 1000 sick and wounded soldiers in hospitals
in this county.
The official lists of killed and wounded just
received Of the battles of Corinth, October 4th
and 5th: Total killed, 3l5; total wounded, ,8I2;
missing, 252; total, 1859. The official list of
killed, wounded and missing, in the battle of
luka, is 1913.
Correspondence published in the Iafeiligencer
to day shows that on January LIST, 1861, Mr.. Blu
chanan and Gen Scott concurred in the opinion
that immediate military needs of the country then
required no appeal to the militia or volunteers in
aid of the regular force.
The Bosom Transcript, just received here,
says that at the close of Buchanans administra

colleagues:

campaign will probably decide the matter De
cided victories on our side alone will dispel the
ideas. IL is generally understood in England
that a rebel naval attack on the Atlantic cities Is
in preparation. Three immense iron clad rams,
the most powerful ever constructed, are building
in the English ship yards. and with these it is
supposed the rebels will attack the Northern
