President Hamlin said:
'Let honest Democrats consider, and
solemnly consider, that the unmitigated
traitors who counsel resistance to tho

them to bring the horror of war to their

who of you can yet realize what those
horrors are! No one can Go it unless he

1t gives US pleasure to see that the

stration Of constitutional resistance to
President Lincoln and his Major Gen

his, in their last days Of 1espotism, and
the suicidal attempt at sheer military
rule by the last Stuart, no such regi.
men has been brought to bear on a
people Of Anglo-Saxon or Anglo. Nor.

Judge Leavitts assurance (the most

Of lady's postcript, by the final state

piled for, viz ): THAT he is morally
certain his writ would not be obeyed,
and he is somewhat reluctant to author

The learned Judge might just as
we'll have spared all his adulatory ap-
ologies for this military outrage Of Gen
Burnside and President Lincoln, and
avowed at first what he vowes at last,
that he denies legal redress, because
he does not possess the power to en-
force it. That nvowal is valuable: since
it shows all citizens the United States

The ONLY HoPE LFFT.-It is
gratifying to every Intelligent patriot
to see how the conservative men of evy
cry former political afiiliation are aband
oning old antagonisms, and uniting
heart and hand with the Democratic
party as the only one by whose princi
Piles and whose numbers the country
can be saved from the rcmediless ruin
which the fanatics of the North and the
South have invoked upon it. ..., r.
Mr.. Geo. S. TIillard Of B oston, one of
the most accomplished men of his time,
friend of Webster and of Choate, a
Whig Of the atraightest sect, and a

the Academy of Music meeting: uses
this significant language: .4at sa.a

that there is now no hope of ending
this deplorable war and restoring the
Union hut by and through that party
And the Hon. Joel Parker, former

New Hampshire, and now sitting in the
chair of Story. who prefaces his letter
with similar statement that he has
'.never been mernher ofthe Democrat
ic party''-though honored by that
party with high places, in the belief
that he was conscien tiously desirous of
sustaining and enforcing sound princi-
pies of constitutional and municipa

denounce the Constitution and the Un

Kansas, saws in his recent letter to the
New York Tribune. Read: .

FORT GAN4BIOOEI.

Justice Barnard Yesterday granted stay OF
proceedings for i've days 10 the Fort Ganse-
WORT case, to enable the Corporation Counsel
to take action in the premises. This is right,
though we gould wish tho time had been
extended.
For there i. now before the Legislature, on
the motion of one of the oldest and most
respectable members Of the Assembly pro-
position that this whole Fort Ganseyoort busi-
ness be investigated by Committee Of that
body; aud we most earnestly pray that this
be promptly and thoroughly done. The re.
purchase of the property for the CITY IL loudly
reported and very widely believed to be
tainted with bribery. In plain words: certain
Aldermen arc said to have Deen voting money
into their pockets in voting tina. the City shall
pay over Half Million Dollars for this prop
erty, So lately sold by the City for 100000.
We know no facts that sustain these grave
inculpations; but we trust they may now be
thoroughly Investigated by a competent, im-
partial, determined tribunal. Let us know the
exact truth of the case; for the title has
suffered already by vague aud unsupported
imputati0ns. Let US have the matter thoroughly
sllted and all difficulties cleared up. There
can never be better time than the present.
