The Northern Coaserva,ives.

Ssme have INDUCED the belief that the recent
elections in the North argued change OF senti-
ment in that quarter, favorable to peace snd 20
the rights Of the South The opinion advanced
by some OF the prominent leaders of the success
full party would seem to Justify that impression
Mr Fernando Wood, we see it stated in a
Northern Journal, recently declared that he mis-
understood the governor elect of New York, If
be would permit any citizen Of that Common
wealth to be arbitrarily arrested and denied the
privileges of haJeas corpus Others have ex-
pressions even more emphatic in reprobation Of
the tyranny established at Washington, and in
favor of peace. These are the expressions Of
individual opinions, it Is truei but the men who
Haake them INERT honorable msnton in any
Eosice taken of the incidents of this eventful era
Nevertheless, we must not forget, in our sdmira-
ton of their aathors, that thsy are nothing more
than the sentiments Of individuals. When we
look to the aYoTRls Of the candidates themselves
Governor Seymour for example We find
nothing re- assuring On the contrary, we see
evidenes Of the gTOssest ignorance Of the first
principles of a confederate system such as the
old Union YVES designed to be. a union OF SOW
ersign and equal States held together by force is
worse than an sBsuTdity. The doctrine of the
Republicans is more logical and respectable
They are murdeIers, marauders and scoundrels;
but they are consistent They hold that the
Federal agent, created by the States and en-
dowed by them with certain limited powers, is
supreme and absolute, aud has the right, and is
in duty hound, to coerce its creators into uncon-
ditional submission. The conservatives, in a
measure, concede this supremacy, while they
assert the sovereignty Of tho States and at the
same time proclaim that the war must be more
vigorously prosecuted to the destruction Of
State sovereignty snd the maintenance of the
Federal supremacy. This is a jumbls of non
sense and contradiction, uninteIligible and be-
meath criticism The difference in substance
between the two Northern parties is the differ
eEce between tweedledee and tweedledum-
unless, indeed, there bs difference which does
not meet the eye
This may be the case. The removal of Gen.
Mcclellan, a partisan Of the successful fsetiOn,
implies that such is the understanding Of Lin
cola aud his administration Holding in their
haHds oil tae vast patronage which the war crs-
ates, they might be well content to leave to
Seymour aud bis party the petty emOluments Of
tbe State governments, If they be- IS they pro-
fes5 to be, really solicilous for more vigorous
prosecution Of the war Still Il may be that the
greediness Of tue Black Republicans Is 90 great
that they are wTstehed if anybody else picks up

The Nsrtsern EIeetisua.

a Washington correspondent Of Chicago
paper represents the dismsy and CONSERVATION
as Washington as intense, when the news arrived
Of the result of the Northern elections. +" Hon
est Old Abe hsd said that ne should regard the
defeat of the Republicans as 8 condemnation
by the people of the whole policy of his admin
istrstiOn; and She apprehension was entertained,
that in that contingency, hs might in disgust
throw up the TsiBs Of governmOnt None Of the
oficisls sbout Washington, except Seward, it is
stated, expected anything but victory. The
whole power Of the government had been ex-
srted to that end and it vas not thought posi-
bic that it could bo successfully resisted.
Tho writer in TIE Chicago paper thinks the
result of the elections has saved the country.
1.-THE other party had succeeded, the COnst-
tuition would have bean proclaimed suspended,
and eli the rights of the citizen would have
been sbrogated This was already the case, if
weunderstsnd Lineolns proclamation, declaring
martial law throughout the Northern States.
1t nsy be that people will Be enbOldened by
the elections to resist and We see ii strongly
intimsted. HAT the new governor Of New York
viii inierpcse the broad shield Of that great
State to protect ali its citizens from arbitrary
arrests, and to insure them the benefits Of habsss
corpus Any decided action in this direction
and to this effect would re establish State rights,
sod cause the whole fsbrie Of Yankee dsspotisr,
erected upon consolidation, to fall at once to ii
ground.
The following is the conclusion Of the letter to
the Chicago paper. The removal of Mcclellan
may be designed to fcilitate the object here
referred to
The reusts Of the radicals here have not Lssitstsd
proclaim that IL Ises Ike these Il not only the
right but the duty, Of the President disregard the
flhnor of tiud souls and to tsks into his hands

The Proposisiou .s Mediate.

Whether the attitude taken by the British
Cabinet be species Of temporary political ma
neuVering TO escape the dreaded Indignation of
the United States, while shutting it upon
France, or whether it be the bona fde settled
policy adopted by the admins lration of Lords
PslmerstOn aud Russel, the proposition of Ma
polesn to mediate for the closing of the Ameri-
can war cannot fail to have powerful effect in
England. There is & strong party of 0pposi-
ton, headed by Lord Derby, and that party is
favorable to the Southern CJnfederaey There
is, throughout the intelligent classes of England,
current of decided sympathy and admiration
for our people in this war Among the Ia
boring classes there are tens of thousands
OF sufferers through the absence of Southern
cotton, and the cessation of all those branches
Of business connected with and dependent
&pon cotton. Among the mercantile classes
there are the strongest motives of magnificent
and lucrative trade operating in cur behalf All
these influences must be greatly quickened and
stimulated By the direct tangible proposition Of
tina French Emperor Upon that, as point Tap
pWi, they are likely now to Organizs aud set
the battle in array against the ansagonistc Cab
met Of Britain. The ball is fairly opened, and,
in the end, the ministry must either acquiesee
gracefully or eFacuAte their Offices But this is

stitUtes a very important feature in the denoue-

A Thieving Generai ana . Ocnerai Thiel

a Thieving General and q General Thief.
TIE Yankee papers announce that General
Rufus King has been appointed to the command
at Norfolk, vice General Viele, relieved This
man King is the same scoundrel who last sum-
mer held command at Fredericksburg, and,
while there, profted by his position to commit
various acts of thieYery. Among others report
ed to us, on unquestionable authority, was his
stealing a lady piano, boxing it mp and sending
it North, for the amusement of his accomplished
wife. He viii doubtless put in practice the same
profitable arts in the new field to which be has
been called and the ladies of Norfolk may look
to their wardrobes and furniture
This creature, who glories in playing .he mart
OF the thief, claims to come of the best breed Of
Yankee dogs His father, or grandfather, old
Rufus King, had some reputation in his day for
blunt eandor and for more than sn average Of
Yankee integrity. We are willing to suppose
he deserved the reputation. We see to what an
issue it has come IN his immediate descendants,
under the demoralizing influences of the free so
ciety of the North Perhaps it might be an un-
charitable conclusion to infer from this case that
an honest man is as great rarity in Yankeedom
as q man of Verscity. And yet to what other
conclusion can we eomsl The Kings, for neer-
iy century, have occupied high political and
social position in the North. They certainly
know what the standard of gentleman is in
that region. and the essentials necessary to at
tain it. We have this ones idea oft illustrated
| BY bis conduct. Holding the honorable position
OF commander, be pillages women, and sends
his booty to his wife, with the intention, doubt
less, of having it paraded in the eyes of his sd-
Iniring friends. They are coguizant of the theft,
and they are, nevertheless, expected to spplsud.
King himself is q rogue-a c9wardly rogue in
stealing from helpless women how much better
are bis friends, who commend and exult in his
Infamous roggeTies
When the developments, now being made, Of
Yankee character come to be duly appreciated
by the world they will be Justly held by Impair
tial history 10 be the yilest race on the face Of
the earth. They are without the one redeeming
virtue Of which the Roman historian speaks.
Possessed Of sll the vices which distinguish the
Chinese, they have the additional enc of pre-.
tending 10 virtues which they do not possess
Bigoted aud intolerant, rspacious and stipgy,
