The DEMocRAcY AND PARson iBa owsLow.-
Tho Democrats in the Ohio Legislature, last
week, refused to ailow the use of the Legisla-
: tive Hall ofthat State to lParson Brownlow OF
Tennesscs, ,for'the purpose OF delivering lee
ture or the sul,jectof1the rebellion. The DEM
'mocrxtic leaders everywhere seem determined
= to choke of aiispeakers of force and courage
who proposeto discuss the present rebellion,
.(the same Glass of partizans having refused the
Hall of the House ofRepresoutatives of Penn "a
to Wendell Philips), and yet, ibut few brief
months since, the watchw ord of'sheee political
leaders was, "Free Speech and a Free Press, -
for the reason, they said, that ''Error may be
." preached with impunty, if truth is left free
&c to combat it,'-however, when Brownlow
wishes to s.preach'' Union "truth' in opposi.
.tion to Secession s:err0r," these sympathisers,
by their votes, manifest .unwillingness that
the "tIuth" should be heard. But, it appears
that the Democratic politicians are determin-
ed to preserve their friendly relations with the
sleading rebels in the South, and they seem to
Hook forward to the time when they may pos
sbly have the power to compromise with, in.
stead OF requiring the unconditional submis-
sion of the traitors to the lsws and the author
.ity of the National Government. These lead
, ers no doubt hope by such acts Gas the ''snub-
bing' of Parson Brownlow) to be- able to prove
that they never forgot their dear ''misled bro
theirs OF the South,'' and therefore the South
-should be once more willing to.en.ev into that
political alliance by which the slave Gigarchy
aud northern dough-iaces so long deluded the
honest laboring masses OF the north. View
ing the action of these Democratic legislators
in this light, We should regard the secret COM
.binations Of politicians now forming at the
north for the purpose of bringing about a
compromise, as far more dangerous to the fu-
ture permanency OF the Union than the open
organization of the siaveholdiag Yebels of the
South. This doniot of free speech to Parson
iBrownlow by the Democratic legislators Of
Ohio has its counterpart in the despotsm that
prevails with their rebel friends In the South,
and is only consonsut With other acts of the
Democratic leaders in the great struggle for
flee government in our country.

ENGLAND AND THE SoUrH.-If England de-
sires one thing more than another, says the
Harrisburg Telegraph, it is the breaking up of
the cotton trade and production Of the South
ern cotton States. She preserves her neutral.
ity for this purpose, and when the news Of the
resolve of the cotton planters to grow no more
cotton is fully confirmed, England will have
half realized her desire. II the American
planter neglects his crops for few years, it
will have the effect of stimulating the people
Of other countries in efforts Of producing oot-
ton, SO that the same result which attends the
attempts Of the American tobacco growers to
monopolize the trade in that article, will over
take the American grower of cotton. The
owners Of the tobacco plantations of Mary land,
Virginia, Delaware and Kentucky at one time
sought to control the world, just as few rag
| amuffins in the cotton States are now attempt
| ing to dictate alliances and command treaties
| OF comfy with all nations. But tobacco could
| not rule. 1t was not able to WELD sceptre
as a king, and soon became the most servile
subject of kingiy sceptre in other hands.
The nations of Europe despising the attempts
of the slave holders of America to Influence
their actions with chow OF tobacco or pinch
Of snuff, began to cultivate the weed in oppo-
sition to the American monopolists, until the
result ended With the complete destruction of
that trade SO far as its exclusive monopoles
were concerned. The experience Of the to-
bacco growers seems to have no influence
the actions of the cotton cultivators. They
are following directly in the same path.
Their rashness in resolving to destroy their
CROPS will constitute the first stimulous to the
foreign producer, and the result in few
years will be the complete dethronement of
cotton rs king.

Mr.. Bayard, DEM, of Del, conceded the
right OF Congress to legislate for the District

ality OF the measure, but objected TO this par
ticular bill as being unconstitutional and un-
wise. The bill takes away the property of
citizens in violation Of the Constitution, and
also mixes upfhe question of loyalty and con-
fscation with the question Of taxing property.

SIGNS OF THE TINEs.-Amoug the cheering
signs of the times, says the Philadelphia Press,
is the announcement that more than two mil
lions of dollars were received from customs
week before last. Thus, in the midst of war,
commerce remains not only in an unInterrup-

ports during the last year were, as is we'll
known, unusually large and now the influx
very handsome revenue. 1t was ono OF the
favorite faflaces OF the Southern statesmen
that nearly the whole foreign trade of the
country was founded on the prod dsctions and

the following remarks by Mr.. Cewsn:
"Thousands of Southern people had been
duped into nehellion by being told that the
Northern people wsre all AboHtionists. II
ever there was a foul SANDER it was the allega-
tion made by the slaveholders of the South
and their Northern allies, that tho sole object
of the Republican party was the abolition of

Music AT HoME.-What shall the amuse-

ability and taste, / regard music as combining
In happiest proportions instruction and pleas
ure, as standing at the head of the home even
ing enioyments. What a never-failing re-
source have those homes which God has blest
with this gift! How many pleasant family
circles gather nightly about the piano!
how many a home is vocal with the voice of
song and psalm! In other times, in how ma
ny pleasant village homes the father with his
viOl led the domestic HARMONY and sons with
clarionet or flute, or viol, or manly voice, and
daughters swcetly and clearly filling the inter-
walls of sound, made a joyful noise There
was then no piano-to the homes of this gene
ration the great, the universal boon and COM
forter. One pauses and blesses it, and he hears
it through the open farmhouse window, or de-
tects its sweetness stealing out amid the Jar
gons of the city-an angels benison upon
wilderness of discord, soothing the weary
brain, lifting the troubled spirit, pouring fresh
strength into the tired body, waking to wor-
ship, lulling to rest. Touched by the hand we
love-a mother, sister, wife-say, is it not a
ministrant Of love to child, to mana house.
hold deity, now meeting our moods, aaswer-
ing to our needs, sinking to depths we cannot
fathom, rising to heights we cannot reach,
leading, guiding, great and grand and good,
and now STOPPING to our lower wants, the
frolic of our souls reverberating from its keys?
The home that has piano, what capacity for
evening pleasure and profit has it! Alas, that
so many wives and mothers should speak of
their ability to play as mere accomplishment
of the past, and that children should grow ND
looking on the piano as a thing unwsely kept
for company and show.

THE LATE VoTE IN ILLINoIs.-The reiec-
tion of the proposed new State Constitution
of Illinois, by large majority of its people, is
significant by virtue of its bearing on the slav-
cry question. The instrument was fashioned
by those who were in the interest of the old
Democratic organization, and was specially
designed to serve as a political and moral sup
port for slavery. Electoral districts were art
fully so established by it as to keep the con-
trolling power in the hands of that part of the
State which is largely settled from the border
Slave States. But more than that, the whole
spirit of the excited canvass showed most pal
pably that the real issue was between the an
ti-slavery policy represented by the Illinoisan
President Lincoln, and the pro-sIavery policy
represented by the Illnoisan Richardson,
whose name stands first among the signers to
the late Vallandingham address. 1t is likely
enough that some few votes, both for and
against, were cast irrespectively of all such
considerations, but the different attitudes of
the journalists and of the congressman of the
two parties allow no doubt that the vote was
a test of the disposition of the people toward
slavery. The result proves that the war, in
stead Of inclining the people Of this great
Western State to be more tolerant and concil-
iatory toward slavery, has had exactly the
contrary effect 1t has made them more Re-
publican than ever.
What is yet more noteworthy, the vote of
the fifty thousand soldiers who have been sery-
ing in the great army of the Southwest, is so
far as heard from, in proportion even strong
er against the new Constitution than that of
the people Mt home. The actual contact with
"the peculiar institution" and the actual ex-
perience of the spirit which governs the reb-
els, seem to have made the soldiers peculiarly
opposed 10 every civil or political movement
calculated to plaeate southern hostility.--fI,NS.
