And in order that tie President may have the pow
or to carry this gigantic tyranny into effect and become
de GO the strongest despot the world Congress has
passed Conscriplion act which calls O. at tie dis
creton OF The President, to Dumbers the whole able
BODIED male population OF the country between the ages
OF eighteen and forty five. The irst call ot 100000
is to be made wi what success will nol be known
until after the cf July when the Act comes into
operation. The Democratic party pOwcrless to
dfat the 1t was obviotly necessary that
the Government shoud have the OF utrg its
fast disappearing armies, WHICH, in two nonths will be
reduo ID oneha of their actual sr;ngh by the expry
OF the term OF xca of tie two years aid nine months
Volunteers that any real opposition would have been
considered factious The Democrats, therefore, made
up their minds to accept the and propose two
mportan though not essential, amendmfns. The fra
III OF the Bill had, IN pareDhetic2l pr0vSO, given
power to the Provost Marshal to arrest all
tersons suspected II reasonable practices -
Ia order tLat there might be no mistake, Meesrs Val
andgham VOORHEES,, Cox and other Democrats sup
ported the omission of the words and the restriction Of
the powers of the Provost Marshal to the serpts to
be enrolled under the act After spirited debate, in
which the galleries for the first Ii during the session
appauded Democratic SPEAKER for asserting TIE bcr
ties of his country against TIE encroachneas OF ire
eponsible military power, the amen-ment carried
Another amendment, to insert tie word "whte" before
the words "male able bodied ctz3Ds rejected so
that under the New Conscrpt Law the negroes will be
liable to side by side with TIE white race in tie
future armies of the Republic Should this lead 20 dit
6cuty, the President tas the remedy in his hands
and has simply to Order the enrOmcEt officers not to
call upon tn negroes for military duty, TO tbvate the
danger OF mutny arnong the whites that might other
wise result. There needed but other measure to
complete the charmed circle of Imperialism and that
was provided by tie Currency and Banking Acts OF
Mr.. Secretary Chase which, after a series of amend
ments ano reconsideration in both Houses, and Com
mittee of Conference OF the two have been finally passed
In way the other, by loan, ard by the issue OF
greenbacks the Government is authorz to issue about
81 100 900 0C0, that, before the rise in gold
would have represented about G220O0 200 sterling
but that with gold at - per cent premium only re
present about 9l37 600 900. Mr. Chase has also
ried bis av0te projecs OF taxing the exstirg banks
upon their circulation ard Of introducing uniform
Federal currency OF greenbacks that not to be tax
ed These are stupendous measures. The three form
perfect unity, solid, substantial and artsicaly dove
tailed one into the other. Wore Mr. Lincoln man
of genius, great soldier, asue and far,seeing
diplomatist, ambitious and designing ntrguer,
having the will to make himself king Emperor Gar,
hereditary, President Lord Protector, Or anytbit
s!se they wcu:d afford him the means OF putting
speedy anu ignOmniOus end to the republic. But
these powers have not been given to him Tor such
purposes. The Rpublican party know their man,
aud lhpk that they can trust him. Neitber have
they been conferred upon Fin N order that he
may more hectuaily carry On the war tor The subu5l
tiou Of the South. He is no the man tor that
purpose than he is the man OF whom to make an En-
peror La this respect, too, the Republicans know him
and have taken the measure OF bis capacity Tie
fha to
by the President, but by every prominent man in pub
lie lie. Both the Union and the Constitution upon
which it is founded are defunct.
The Southern Congress destroyed the Uuion; the
Northern Congress has dtsroye1 the Cons tuition
The revolution has completed its first cycle. North
ard South are Two oiev6rm0re, and are IS incapable
for the future OF being united under one government
Eng land and France Ireland and Italy hese
stringent measures have logical foundation than
any baseess hope of the eanneXatiOn OF the South
they into nded for the suhugati0n and The cOnSO
dation of tbe North. | he danger has org been ap-
precated in all its magnitude by the reason well
by the instinct OF te Northern people and the process
OF disintegration would not stop with Southern inde
pendence, but would extend to the North aud West,
aud il the principles of secession admitted for
any part OF the late Unicn it not be succ sSuy
resisted for .any other Hence the President has been
invested with these extraordinary powers 10 order that
he may nip in the bud any attempt the part of the
Western Middle States either to throw in treir for
tunes with those of the South to set up for them
selves.
