As lightning does Tn will Of Cod o.
Here is the advantage possessed by
ourselves over all other people on the
globe. Our Constitution prescribes
peaceful mode Of changing our laws and
our lawmakers, while the subjects Of
European Governments have no redress
against a tyrannical ruler, save the aw-
y ful and uncertain one Of the sword.
During the last eighty years we have
altered and modified our laws times
without number, peaceably and without
bloodshed, while within the same period,
Europe has been convulsed with revolu-
tions and bathed in the blood of herpeople
revolving against oppression. Tie ballot
Boa gives rs redress more speedily and more
G6ectNaly than the subjects Of monarchy can
o6tain u eOen by a successful yevolution
This is most important considera-
ton, and worthy of the deepest renec-
ton. What infinite madness then for
any citizen who enjoys the blessed priv
ilege of the ballot-box, to cast it aside
and resort to the trial of the sword !
When we look at the beautiful, yes, the
sublime organization devised for us by
Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Adams,
Madison and Franklin, and then look at
the ragged revolt of The starved Confed-
eracy of the South, resorting to all the
horrors and uncertainties Cat the best
but not in this instance) of revolution
of force, we are filled with amazament,
and almost dream that we are in some
land of monsters filed with hydras,
and gorgons, pythons and grifFons and
chimeras vomiting fire and breathing
smoke. Our form of government was de-
signed for the express purpose of render
ing resort to arms to change our laws
or rulers forever unnecessary. It was in
tended to make wholly unnecessary Just
such wicked and bloody rebellion as
that which eleven States Of the South
are now waging, The Sages of The Rev
olution of1776 had felt the awful evils
of even a successful Revolution by force,
under a monarchy, and so they deter
mined in their wisdom to prevent the oc-
currence ofsuch conflict as the rebellion
of 1860, by securing the ballot box to
the people under Republican Govern
ment. What a pity that some Of their
children have
Like the base Judeau thrown pearl away
Richer than all his trbe.'
Think of the euormity Of the crime.
An American citizen trampling on the
ballot-boS. and Selling his musket to
change his Government Climax of folly
and wickedness Stupendous madness
and infatuation We say to all rebels /:
Lay down your sword, You are sin
ming not only against yourselves, but
humanity. You are outraging all man
kind. A Democracy cannot revolt
against itself 1t is national suicide.
It's cure for all political evils is the quiet
unobhusiye but omnipotent ballot box,
the sacred privilege of the free man.

Want Of time and want Of space rem
dered more than mere allusion to the
glorious Union outpouring on Monday
Night impossible We were so pressed
with labor, that we could not attend, but
all who were present described it as the
most cheering and enthusiastic gathering
ever held in this city. Every heart
seemed to burn with fervent heat and
vented its tumultuous and irrepressible
rapture in such shouts as never come
from apathetic bOsoms. Perhaps the
most thrilling scene witnessed was when
Hon. Allen A. Hall arose and read tele-
graphic dispatch just received by Cover
NOR Johnson, announcing the taking of
Norfolk, Portsmouth and the Navy
Yard, and the destruction of three rebel
'Gunboats by the Union Army, together
with the blowing up of the Merrimac and
a successful engagement at Corinth. The
multitude uttered shout after shout on
this intelligence,'until the massive walls
of the building seemed to tremble with
the shock of sound.

SYRACUSE. Monday Eevcnins Sept -. 1862.
Though the Republican Union State Convention
does not organize till day after tomorrow, the inter-
est attached to is conclusion has already collected
here considerable number Of delegates aud promi.
nent politicians There is certainly to be large and
rapid increase tomorrow.
IL is understood that Gov. Morgan will decline to
be presented for thiId term. II the Convention
should unanimously insist Oh his standing, lie proba-
bly, would not refuse but after having been unani-
nouay renomtated, and reelected by 10000
majority, he naturally objects to competing for re-
nomination.
An earnest effort will be made, under powerful
auspices, to carry over tho delegates elected as
friends to Gov. Morgan to the support OF Gen. Dix.
There is no doubt that those Of Gems. Wordsworth
and Dix will be- the leading before the Con-
venton, though the friends Of MIR. Fenton hope that
he will be the second choice of whichever party may
prove the weaker and be nominated as MIR. Harris
was for United States Senator. The best feeling
universally prevails. The friends of Gen. Wnds-
worth will, in case Of his nomination. ask the Union
Democrats in the Convention to present candidate
for Lieut.. -Governor. NC.

they are eventually to be- sent 10 their homes

DR.. Mackay, the New-YOrk correspondent
of The London Times, says Of the President OF
the United States that he writes English
" that passes muster in America, but that
would not be tolerated in British School for
young gentlemen" One hardly knows whether
most to admire the insolence and the assump-
ton of such statement, or the selfsacrfcng
spirit of an Englishman who consents to live
among such barba,ians.
