to the preservation, advancement and perpetu ity of the objects of the law.
 Now upon this point may be permitted te quote one authority, the language of one who is not particularly partial to the present Ad ministration. Judge Curtiss of Boston, 1T his pamphlet on Executive Power" page 24 saYs:-" In time cf ,Oar without any specia legislation, not the Commandments Chief only but eve'y. Commanderot of an expedition, or oi a military post, is lasetuAy empowered Iy th' Consultation and the laws of the United States te do ,chateper $ necessary, and is sanctioned by the laaos of ,car, to accomplish the lawfu objects of his commando Here, then find { full confirmation of all for which contend Let us anatyze this e-za .ii- ~ -- --Al-- =
 .lst. The Commander in.Chief, as such, Ia. authority to act.
 2d. He may act .cithopt special Legislation.
 3d. He may do ,rAatever is necessary and sanctioned by the la,cs cf ,sar, to accomplish the lawful objects of his command.
 4th. And such acts are seithim the Constitx tion and Jaws of the United States. 'arf
 Now this extract opens up wide field for investigation, but will content myself by leav. ing it where it is, hoping that the reHecting mind will take it up. and carry it out to its legitimate conclusion. I cannot however, help but make an enquiry or two in closing. From whom do the charges of arbitrary and uncon- stitutional arrests come? Who are they, who are. continually denouncing the President, the Administration, for exercising $, this power Does it come from loyal men? #, Are Mey afraid of being arrested? No. This denun- citation, this fear, proceeds from the agents and supporters of treason, and no wonder that thei, coward consciences, their midnight slumbers are disturbed and haunted by a fear that the mighty power of the nation may oyertake them ere their guilty course is run. No wonder that they howl from morn till night, of arbitrary and unconstitutional arrests.'' Yet this was not always so. Have these same men forgot, that a few years ago, the citizens of the North, in the quiet and peaceable pursuit of their le- gitimate vacations, under the laws of the Uni ted States and It's Constitution, men who had committed no crime against either, WE'RE AR RESTED by the authorities of some of the DE- MocRArIc STATES OF THE SOUTH, were thrown into prison, and threatened to be sold into Sla- very, unless they or their employers paid the prison fees? Have they forgot how freemen of the North were, by DEMOCRATIC AUTHORITY, ARRESTED upon the plains of Kansas, and shot down like dogs? Say, you who cry " arbitrary and unconstitutional arrests" have you forgot ten these things ? But enough. Here I close for the present, simply remarking, let the re- aecting ponder. ToN WHlPcoRD.

first he called into tke serpice." A wise preyi sion. and entirely in favor of the peor man. with large family dependent upon his labor for support.
 Sec. 13, procides that any pcrsea drafisd (who may not be exempt as before stated) nsal furnish an acceptable su6stitate. or pay ssck sum as Me secretary of tcar may determine, NOT EXCEEDING THE SUM OF $500. This, then, is the provision by which the Times, andiall the leaders of that faction who love party better than they love their country, endeayor to pull wool over our eyes, by the oft repeated lie that it favors the rich at tho expense of the labor ing poor. Pray tell me,"I. s." or any eno else. how many poor men could get ssl6stitats under general draft, if left to an open copsps. tition ,cih the rich? Would not the men who had the most money outbid the one who had the least? How was it under the old law, when the draft took place in Hartford, last year. year. The price of substitutes ran up to $500 $500 and S700, which no poor man could pay. Under the present act the secretary of war may fix the price at Slo0 or $50, BUT IN NC CASE CAN IT EXCEED $500.
 remember well the remarks of all parties last year when the draft was enforced, and there was but one voice in saying "why don't the government stop th!s speculation in sub- stitutss by fixing price beyond which it can not go 2'' "Why is it that the poor must bs left entirely to the mercy of the rich!h
 The present law makes exactly ths discrimi- nation in favor of the poor which everybody demanded then. Neither is there any prob . ability that the secretary would demand the extreme amount authorized for great emergeu. cies It is more likely to be $l00 than any other sum. But however that may be, there is no practiced construction or application of the act which is not infinitely more to our ad- vantage than the old system, and all this hue and cry on the part of the Tmes copperhsads is Co humbug and deceive that class of people who like our friend |" l. s." of West Sufield, are willing that Tom Seymour and Bill Eaton should put hook in their nose and lead them to swift and su re destruction.
 For one, am satisfied with the law and will cheerfully comply with all of it's provisions until the last traitor is hanished or hanged. The government has been drivsn by the treas onable acts of such men as Vallandigham the traitor, Ben Wood the gambler, Toucey. Tom Seymour. Bill Eaton and the Times editors, out-and out secessionists. to pass this act in pure self defence. And even now if the cop perhead democracy would lend their aid to the government for period of three months, in stead of aidiug tbe rebels by opposing ae oov- ernnsent n every wicked and imaginable way, the war would be over and "I. SD of West Sufield would no longer be exposed to the terrible danger of serving his country instead of Tom Seymour and the Hartford 1smes.

A Voice from the West.
FLINT, Mich., March 17th, 1863.


 To THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER: @
 The hearts of most of the sons of Con- necticut, residing at this time in the West, are turned toward their native State with ab sorb- ing interest. We learn that the Democrats just dispersed from Hartford, have stated their position without ambiguity, and put forward as their nominee for Governor, a representa-. tive Copperhead, Thomas H. Seymour. It will not be pretended that this man has be. come opposed to the war on account of the Presidents Proclamation. We remember when General Mcclellan was so hard pressed by the enemy on the Peninsula, and the cry went forth for more troops, and 8 new levy was ordered by the Government, at Hartford, in common with most othsr sections ofthe North, a war meeting was held. This meeting was presided over by distinguished Democrat, and many distinguished Democrats addressed It. At the time of the meeting, Seymour was absent from the city, but his friends ssntured to use his name as Vice President. On his return, he wrote a letter. stating that his name had been used without authority, and that he rePudiated the object of the meeting, which was to help raise troops to save the country and the gallant regiments of Connecticut from destruction. Iquote from the letter :--" If it be necessary to be more explicit, beg leave to state, that knowing what the meeting would be beforehand, l could rot have been induced to attend it or take part in it's doings, and that having glanced at the proceedings gene rally of that meeting, particularly desire to clear myself from any participation directly or indirectly in what took place there. Hollow, gentlemen, in no cruaade, neither will I con. tribute in any way to the accomplishment of such purposes" 'e saa8aa .
 We remember that the Democratic paper that published the letter, did so withapt com msnt. No man at that time dared defend it, and the writer, and the writer by common con sent was declared ;ntamous. But now he re appears as the Candidate of the Democratic party of Connecticut, aud if he san be elected, we here do not zee why the State should not join the Jef: Davis Confsderaey at once.
 }: But it is comforting to know from tho tenor of the Southern Press, that how much soever our lemocratic friends of New England may choose to roll in the mire,, however earnestly they may seek . lower depth, and however abi jectly they may kneel down npon the graves of epr murdered boys who marched to defepd the inheritance of our fathers, and ask pardon of the traitors and cenyicts who have slain the 6rst-bor of nearly every family in the land, they spurn them yith the soles of their feet
 Democrats of Connecticutl Ton cannot be admitted to the Southern Confaderacy vish their < white trash, y'or eyea their slaves, how. muchsoeyer you may desire it.

There is, however, another aspect in which we may view the constitutional right of the Executive to arrest, and refer to that clause of the law which makes him Comrpandes-ia- csief of the Army, &c. What are the powers and duties of the President, and what may he do as such Commaader- -in: pAief in time of war? The law does not, point out single ting that he may do. It is entirely silent as to his pow CTS and duties, yet may he not act in . given emergency, in. that capacity, simply because the law has not pointed out what he may do, or how he may act? Was it the intention of the law to elothe the President with the tile of Comnander-in-C Chief, and at thesame time ia withhold from him the right to. .exeycisa the powers which belong to him asasueh2 Most clearly it wss not, but it evidently meant to confer on the President an eplarged power gf ictionsto be added to his general obligations to preserve, protect and defend the law; and, to co shape his acts as that they should conduce

to force more sleep on the system BY 4 nap in

5. Some of the most painful "stohacIt

as wealth. Now who believes that with
a tax upon the mines, the production of
gold daring the past two years would
have been as generous as it has been; The
free mines of the United States have ell
ticcd swarming population into regions
that would have been silent and hushcd
in unbrokcn repose to this day but for
their mineral attractions. The untaxcd
mines are drawing men of all trades and
pursuits into Arizona, New Mexico, Ida
ho, Misunderstanding and planting set
tiers there who will civilizc the deserts
and make the black soil Of the most scclu-
dcd valleys prolific with harvcsts. Tax
the mines, and the whole American sys-
tenn of colonization will be upset. 1t will
not do to make the mines pay too many
parties and in too many ways at once.
There arc abundant evidences that the
men of Washington, New Hor k and Phil
adclphia arc little crazy in their notions
of the production, present and prospcc-
tive, of the mines. The price at which
New Almadcn was stocked in Wall street,
and the figure at which Mariposa was spur
chased, show that they believe them to
fairly gush with gold, as maple tree i'll
spring time runs sap at the first tspping'
They make the most ridiculous estimates
of the future production of mines which
men are bankrupting themselves to open.
They forget on believe it is piece of old
fogyiSm, that it takes mine to work j
mine. There was some hope that they
might be induced to read bit of Mexican
mining history, to revise their impressions
and look at the facts rather than the fam
cies which men who had mine to sell have
imposed upon them as facts, to take COM
mon sense views and not judge every
ledge Comstock, every shaft an Ophir,
and every owner of Il piece Of mining
scrip a millionaire. We didput great faith
in the logic Of New Almadcn's and Mari
posa's yields for the next year or two to
correct their mining doctrines, but if Ne
vada and California plunge i'll TO make
their revenue out of mines which they do
not own. that faith must wanc. If the
States which should know that rapid pro-
duction from the mines is their chief
source of prosperity igIorc the fact and
make every ounce OF dust or grain of the
metal pay toll before it gets to the mint,
We cannot expect Uncle Sam to forget who
own the goose. If anybody is allowed to
kill her and pocket the grand cluster OF
golden eggs, he and nobody else is the par
ty to do it.
