Col. Hildebrand, of the Seventysseventh
Ohio, in O New Character.

We find the following article in the Blooming
ton (Illl Statesman Of December 18th. We're
gret to find Col. HILDEBRANp in the new char
acter here given him. He used to be Demo-
orat +; but since he sought favors from this Ad.
ministration, and received commission from
the Governor of Ohio, he seems to have for
gotten the lessons of the past, and tho honest
convictions of the best years Of his life. Here
Is the article;
DIpN'T TAKE HIM.-On the 5th inst. Lieu
tenant with squad of men visited Jerseyville
for the purpose Of arresting the editor, Of the
Jerseyville Union by order of the Post Comman-
dant at Alton On entering the editors Sane
tnm, the Lieutenant said: :" Sir, you are my
prisoner" ....t.ta
Editor" Have you warrant for my arrests
Lieutenant 2"
LieutenGnt--"I forgot to bring them, sir
but am directed by Col. Hildebrnnd, who has
orders from Gen. Curtis, to arrest you, and
must do It,"
Editor" If you have warrant from even 9
justice, cir, will quietly submit but IT, as yor
say, you have no papers, will resist this lille
gal arrest to tho last J"
About this time the friends Of the editor en-
tered the lists, and informed Lieut.. Jones tina
NO arrests could be made ln that place, " with
out papers" Az the news spread, the people
became excited, and the Union says:
> every road and lane responded with th,
tramp of the yeomanry of Jersey, from the olt
veteran of eighty years to the lad of dozen
summers! They came from every hamlet
every bill and dale was alive with preparations
and by scores and hundreds they manifested
the strongest determination to maintain the
authority Of the Constitution, which declares
that no person shall be arrested without due
process Of law! One old man emphatically dc.
clared that he had lived for seventy years In the
enjoyment Of free speech, and he would sooner
die than loose IL"
The Lieutenant and his squad returned to
Alton without their victim. The time for lille
gal arrests in Illinois has gone by The people
submitted for long time, for the sake Of avoid
ing strife in the North, but the feeling s becom-
ing strong and general that it ia not patriotism
but rather coUardce to longer acquiesce in such
usurpation.

The Radical Triumph-Lincoln Must
Succumb.


The New York Times, an Administrator
uauer favorable to Secretary SEWARD, speaking
of the recent Cabinet snuste at Washington
saya: "Beyond oil question the confidence o'
the country in the Administration has beer
sorsly tried and sadly impaired during the pas
six months"
Coming more directly at the Senatorial eau
cus which substantially demanded OF the Pres
idens the removal of Mr.. SEWARD, the Time
says:
The attempt of party caucus 10 either
House of Congress, to dictate to the President
in matter 60 personal to himself a. tne eeiee'
tion a, reteutio, of his Constitutional advisers,
"A novel and suspicious. That the movement
IN this csse originated with section OF the
party and aimed at facti0us triumph over the
rest, makes IL all the worse
The Tines may call the originators OF the
novement for the removal of SEWARD SEQ
tion of its party; but it is evident that they
constitute section go powerful that they rule
the party, and are determined to shape the
course of the Administration to their liking or
break |, down. The Tines may speak of these
men aiming at "a factlous triumph" but 1t Ii
clear that they obtained decided and sigma
victory. when In the Senatorial caucus, on che
uieht of the 18th inst, resolution was car
r,ed, declaring that the welfare of the country
would be promoted by the partial reconstruc
t,ou of the Cabinet-twenty-eight Of the twen-
.y-uins Republican Senators present voting for
it.
Tbs Tymss in the same article from which
ve have quoted above, draws the following
truthful and doleful picture of the condition
Of i,s party:
The Administration party suffers from the
-.ee and rancor OF factions within Its bosom
r. 6as been torn and weakened by intestine
disaensions-conAicts spfinging far more from
,srscnaI ambition than from public principle
~ AIMING TO crafty personal hatreds at what
aver ave-, cost to the Administration and to the
country.
Tbe Tsmss adds that the Administration
p,cannos afford longer to encourage or tolerate
sbsss fatal dissensions." What will it dot OF
,a,her what will or can President LINCOLN do
Ths Times says he will "hsve to form new
Cabinet" 30 say those whom the Tines call
tbe fac.ionists in its party, that Is to say--th'
extreme radicals. They say LINCOLN mus
form q new Cabinet or resign. That is th'
Abolition aAt-the ukase that has gone forth
and We suppose. like the laws Of the Medei
and Persiaus 1. cannot be altered or modified
Rat the Times says Mr.. LINCOLN "must FIRST
fix the principles on which he will conduct hid
Administration" This is q pretty plain Init
nation tha. he has not hitherto conducted II
upon any izsd principles. Just so the extreme
radicals charge. The 7Smss falls right into
their views and sings the same song. Thi'
shows, II proof were needed, that the so-callet
Republican, sliss Union, alias Administration
party is bound hand and foot and delivered
over irrsyocably to the Abolition Disunior
Demon.

Speech of Hon. 8. 8. Cox.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Journal Of Commerce. writes Of Mr.. Cox's
late speech in Congress as follows, under date
of December 18th:
The character Of parties was yesterday dis.
cussed at length by the Hon. 8. 8. Cox, In the
House Of Representatives, aud even those who
oppose him in politics were facnated by the
ability and wit he displayed In disseoting the
facts of history. In lengthy summing up Of
what has been accomplished by this Adminls.
tration, he spoke Of divided country, and the
evil effects Of war upon all kinds OF productive
interests; estimated the public debt at 81, 900,
600, 600, of course did not forget the slavery
question and the habsas corpus difficulty, and
gave 1t 90 his opinion that one hundred an 1 fifty
thousand of the best youth Of the country had
been killed on the battle fields of this war, and
that nearly the same number had died of dis
ease. He defended Mcclellan, blamed the Presi-
dent, and spoke of Burnside as one who would
himself be soon drought to the stone Of
Jasper" He eaid that war alone would never
unite this nation--the eagle must use the dove,
the sword must be gaslanded with the olive;
and his concluding thought was that the sover-
eien people would yet, by their rower, bring
the country out of its great tribulaton.
