A PEACEAmE ELECTION DAy.--The Tribune
Of yesterday denies. with vulgar and billings
gate emphasis, that the sbolitionists will raise
. riot at the polls to-day IT they find the cleo
ton going against them. The Tribune does not
and cannot deny, however, that such revolu-
tionary scheme was talked Of and concocted By
the abolitionists. II they have become fright
ened at their own sanguinary ideas, and given
up the attempt, well and good. The Tribune
assures MS that the abolitionists "have never
smelt POWDER" and doubtless their courage,
like Bob Acres, oozed out of their fingers ends
st the sight of one OF those cannon from Co
vernors Island. This explains, also, why
Wadsworth, the abolition candidate for Go
vernon, repeated his celebrated exploit, as per-
formed at the battle Of Bull run, and skedsd-
died back to Washington on Saturday Super
intcndsnt Kennedy is very smart man, and
would soon have had Wadsworth In custody II
any riot Fad been attempted. We are perfect
ly satisfied with Wadsworth's flight, however, If
We are to have : peaceful election, and We
accept the 1ribune's explanation and apology.
Ali we desire is fair expression Of the will Of
the people in this great contest between abO-
litionism, secessionism and Wadsworth, on the
one aide. and conservatism, the constitution
and Seymour on the other.

Coop READING AT Sea- The Tribune lays
stress on the fact that The pirate Semmes was
found by his prisoners to be in possession Of
full files OF the NEw YoRK HERAi.D Of course
he was. There Is not vessel that leaves any
of our Eastern ports that does not take out
file Of our journal, and IL alone. as II contains
all that is worth knowing Whatever else he
may destroy OH board his prizes. Scmmes has
discrimination enough to preserve these files.
What does this prove but that, at sea as on
shore, the HERALD is regarded as the only reli-
able medium of intelligence!

WALeRrD0E AND WooD.--There are now only
two candidates for Congress Ia the Fourth dis

de6ned his position, we give large portion Of
cur epace this morning to Ben Woods elucida.
ton Of bis views, ss expressed in his last speech
in Congress. The difference between Wal
bridge and Wood seems to be that Walbridge
believes in vigorously prosecuting the war, in
order to bring the South back into the Union,
while Wood, on the other hand, ia opposed to
all wars, and vaguely insists upon bringing the
South back without any lighting. This Is pre-
cisely the point In which Wslbridge has the ad-
vantage Of Ben. Wood Every practical man.

restore the Union, and that tc siop the war now

Tue CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT IN NEw JEr-
sEY.--From the correspondence we published
yesterday from Monmouth county, New Jersey,
il would seem that the conservative counter
revolution in that State will be as marked
as that in Ohio. Jersey has always been
conservative State, and there can be lit
tls doubt that shat State, which was carried
against the republican party in lS60-the only
State In the North Of which so much can be
said--wll be now carried against the rspubli-
can ticket by a greatly increased majority. The
republicans in New Jersey, as well as in New
York, having no plausible issue to go to the
country upon. have resorted to the desperate
sxpedisnt Of calling the majority Of the people
traitors and secessionists, which is repudiated
with indignation and scorn. II appears from
our correspondence that one cause of the strong
conservative action Of the democrats in Mon
mouth county is the meddling Of Horace Gree
ley there, who is regarded as an incapable
fanatic and type Of all his party--men of
lens, from Fourrierism 10 abolitonsm. The
men Of Jersey are for the war for the Union
but they are equally decided for the nviolabili..
ty Of the constitution, as will be shown by the
conservative vote Of this day. The revolution
airy republicans are chopfallsn and forsbode
the defeat that awaits them. Long live tho
conslltution

VINO ARE OPPosEp TO THE ADMINISTRATION p
The conservatives are not opposed to the ad-
mnstration so long as the administration Is NOT
opposed to the constitution. On the contrary,
the conservatives have supported the admins
traton and the constitution by liberal supplies
ofmen and money.
The aboltionists are opposed to the admins
traton; for they have refused to enlist to main
tain the administration and the country against
the rebels. As Greeley confcsses, the abolition
lists have never yet smelt powder during this
war, and obviously they do not intend to smell
II very soon.
Wadsworth does not support the administra
ton; for he is the candidate of the abolition
party. He has been guilty Of gross insubordina
tion to General Mcclellan. aud consequently to
the President, our Commander-in-Chief, and he
intends, if elected. as Lyman Tremain frankly
acknowledges to refuse all supplies to the go
vernment unless the President acouiesces in
all the demands Of The abolition party.
Greeley and Raymond do not support the
administration; for they are assisting the 'resf
dents enemies. They have threatened to depose
the President; they have continually assailcd
the President and they are practically aiding
the rebels iu resisting tie armies Of the country
Wendell Phillips aud his clique do not sup
port the administration; for they call the presi
dent fool, a slave and a tortoise. Neither does
Henry Ward Beccher. with all his blasphemeus
political sermons support the administration;
for in last weeks Independent he denounces the

Stand by the President against both Southern

conservatives. and against Wadsworth and the

WHAT Is SECRETARY WEI.LEs ABOUT We
have the unwslcome news. Of another large
batch Of our merchant ships destroyed by that
English and Southern rebel piratical craft the
Alabama. What is Mr.. Secretary Welles about!
We hear that he is wide awake, and has made
the necessary arrangements for catching the
pirate; but we see no signs Of anything OF the
sort. This rebel steamer is said to be very
swift; our regular war steamers are, with few
exceptions, rather slow. The Vanderbilt Is
good selection for the business in hand. But
why have not the Baltic and the Atlantic, late
Of the Collins line, been prepared for the same
service: But Secretary Welles should at once
send on the chase Of this rebel incendary seve.
raj of the swittest steamers at his Immediate
command, each under the charge OF tried aud
trusty officer aud crew. We understand that
Com. VIM. d. Porter whose gallant SER
vices in the West, from Fort Henry to
the sinking Of the rebel iron.plated Arkansas,
point him out a. the man for this enterprise,
is anxious to be sent in pursuit Of this rebel
freebooter, the Alabama. We believe he is
now in this city on iurlough, when he should
be where he desires to be, out on the Atlantic,
in search Of this rebek pirate. Cannot our
Chamber Of Commerce do something at Wash
ingtcn to secure the services Of this experienced
aud fearless naval officer In this important

the Alabama, under her British flag, is decoy-
ing to their destruction from one to three or
