WHAT WE MAY EXPECT !,

!" AAA . ~ ~ - j nsA ~ N
To support the, administration; party
now is not only to endorse all the ruin
GUS and abominable administration
measures of the past, but it is to voto
for the psrpetuation ofthose measures
and to carry out the declared policy of
the administration in the fnturo. Mr..
Lincoln is o candidate for re.elect-
ION and every vote cast against the
democracy this fall, is 80 much influence
against change in the administration
next year. = 3ita1y1lI7@
What may We expect in case the ad-
ministration party should be victorious?
This :
That the war will be prosecuted not
for the restoration Of the Union, but for
the abolition of slavery in states which
would otherwise return .
That conscription will follow con-
-scription for tho purpose Of perpetual
ing an enormous standing army to
govern southern states as territories
That the people will be taxed for tho
daily support of more than a million
negroes claimed to be emoncipatea by
the presidents proclamations
That the people Will be taxel to the
tune of thousands of millions Of dollars
to carry out the presidents scheme Of
compensated emancipation:
That federal troops viii be quartercd
among us to intimiaate the people and
control our elections
That our presses will be suppressed,
free speech abolished, our speakers
imprisoned and our canlidates for Office
exiled: ....... .-....
That the'east will grow fat on GOV
ernment contracts and the west grow
poor by government taxation
That the present system of taxing
the people by unequal and oppressive
high tariffs will be continued: ,..-
That our judiciary will become but
the plant instrument of federal power:
That the right Of establishing and
regulating our own banks will be taken
away and the money power Of the nation
become deposited in the hands Of irrc-
sponslhle pnrtisans nt Washington
That all the hardships, wrongs and
privations Of the past three wears will
be visited upon us With double energy,
bringing double sorrow upon the peo.
pie and double ruin upon the nation.

THE ISSUE OF THE HOUR,

The grand issue of the hour is not
how to srbdue armed rebels and con
quer rebel territory. This never has
been the prime issue Of the war. 1t ,s
comparatively much easier matter to
conquer and destroy than to restore,
heal and luild up. TO devnstate and
ruin portion Of ar country requires
simply superiority Of organized
physical force. To restore rehellious
states to the Union to make the grass
grow green ag In over the ashes where
the fires of battle have ragged; to bring
the err,ng millions to the voluntary
support OF our just bene6cent, govern
mcnt again this IS work Of states
manship and not of guns; work Of
the people through misrepresentation
in cabinet and congress-, and not a
work for generals and soldiers in the
field. #...
1t was the error of the people in ele
vating secti"nalism to power which in
augurated rebellion; the right ction Of
the people in exterminating sectional
ism can alone restore the peace and
harmony which was lost. ...l
We hold several vast states and parts
of states in military possession. Every
day the star spangled banner is pls"t-
ed some miles farther into the heart Of
reheldom. We hold strong military
points on the coast and on the Missis-
sippi. But what are we going to- d.
with these vast, states and parts Of
states :? What are we going to DO with
these millions of people who refuse to
accept our government These are the
questions for oar decision now.
The republican lenders tell US that
we are to kill and slay-burn and desc,
l"te-pil|age and dcstroy-hold and
enslave this southern half Of the Union
and its people. The administration for
gets that it was the fear Of this fate
which caused rebellion and which per-
petuates resistance and compels the
use Of arms. Northern republicans
also forget that the suhjugation Of one
half the Union sui ,jngates the whole.
The mass of tho southern people do not
hate the American constitution. They
do not complain Of that constitution.
Whv not then 20 to them with that
constitution in our hands, proclaimins
tho form and blessings Of that govern
ment established by their fathers and
ours, aud assuring them Of the protect,
ion which is jnstlv and lawfully theirs,
and "f'he right of self-government en-
ioved by ourselves :? s7s~ .a
This is the alternative. We must

Southern States. 1t is madness to
dream Of this result
But when restoration is offered IN
such manner that the interests OF
both parties are manif1stIy snbsorved
bv it. and the honor of each preserved,
will the people Of the South reject the
offer. and sacrifice themselves to the
ambition and malevoIcnco OF party
leaders? The answer to the assevera-
)'tions of the Abolition press that no
terms Of peace save those that involve
dissolution will bo listened to by the
South, is to be found in the simple
practical truth, that if such be the fact
If the South is unalterably pledged
+, bisposilion-tho war should instan'
tIy cease, as the subjugation OF the
south is an impossibliity.
But how is it known that reconst'
! ton upon any terms will be rejected

offered by the government we know

LEGAL ADVERTISING. We notice
that several our exchanges have arti-
cles on the subject of raising the price
of legal advertising. 1t is a fact that
in many of the States the rates of lie.
gal advertising are fifty per cent. high
err than than in this State, and this is
the case in States where the amount of
legal printing is much greater than in
this State. The legal rates for U. s.
printing are far in advance of our pres.
ent rates.
We hope our legislature will take
some action in the matter and increase
the rates TO at least IS cents per folio
for the first insertion and 81 and half
cents for each subsequent insertion.
This is simply a matter of justice to the
publishers of the State for it is known
that paper and printing material have
advanced from so to 100 per cent. from
the old prices.

of this place, recommending it in the highest

they may be safely called never-failing ReguLa-

Posi- OFFICE REGULATIONS CONCERNING BOOTS AMI

POST OFFICE REGULATIONS CONCERNING BOOTS AND
BUNDLES.
Posr OFFICE DEPARTMENT, APPOINTMENT OFFICE
WASHINGTON, Saturday, Jan. 3, 1863
Many postmasiers presist in sending
through the mails packages of clothing,
boots, &C., charging thereon only one
cent an ounce for postage. This is a
palpable violation of the law and regu-
lations, with which every Postmaster
should be familiar. The packages are
held for the legal postage at the dis
tributing offices or office of delivery,
accommodating 10 such an extent as to
be greatly annoying to these officers.
and, in large majority of cases, never
reach the parties addressed, thus caus-
ing loss TO the parties sending.
The law and regulations clearly de-
fines what is mailable matter, and pre-
scribes what amount of postage is to
