reconsider the vote on it, which requests were
granted 1t is said that the Democratic MEM

and they feared they you'd be stripped ofthcir

was asked to state the nature of the bill. when
he replied that it was Il bill for the benefit of

OF It's hypocritlcal cloak, is nothing more nor
less than a vile scheme to legalize lotteries -

President Lincoln to the New York
Democrats.

President Lincoln has replied to the resolu-
tioMs of the Albany Democratic meeting in a
long letter, which We wish our space would al
low us to publish. 1t is full, candid, clear and
conclusive. Unless they are entirely blinded
by prejudice or controlled by party zeal, the
Democrats who addressed the President on this
subject, cannot fail to cOncede very great weight
to the considerations which he presents in re-
ply.
Mr.. Lincoln vindicates the right and the duty
of the Government, under the Constitution, to
make arbitrary arrests whenever and wherever
In ease of rebellion or invasion the public
safety may require it." He shows that this
right is hot limited by any military lines-it is
not restricted to the camp or the field; it ex-
ist>, and is to be exercised wherever the public
safety may require it,-and that is TO be deter
mined in the exercise of sound Judgment,
and upon the official responsibility of those to
whom that trust may be confded
He sets forth most clearly the necessity for
the suspension of the writ of haJeus corpus.
As to Mr.. Eallandigham particular case. he
was arrested by the military authority because
he was damaging the military authority by dis
couraglng enliStments, and not because he wa.
damaging the political prospects of the admin
istration. or the personal interest of the com
manding general The President very aptly
>ay>: Must shoot a sirnple-minded soldie,
boy who deserts, while must not touch hair
of willy agitator who induces them to desert?'
In such a case. he adds, to silence the aaita
tor and save the boy is not only constitutional
but withal great mercy In response to tn,
demand for the discharge of Mr. Vallandigham
the President says it will afford him great
pleasure to grant it as soon as he can believe
that the public safety will not suffer by it.
At the same time the President leaves NJ
room TO doubt of his profound and unchange
able devotion to the great principles of free
dom Of speech and of personal liberty, and tC
tie guarantees by which these rights are Sc
cured in the Constitution Il, too, he saws
AIN devotedly for them after civil war. and
before civil war, and at all times. except when.
III ease OF rebellion or invasion, the public safe
ty may require their suppression" But in
these eases he regards the public safety as, b,
the express terms of the Constitution, the SUI
preme law.
The letter Is highly creditabe to the Presi
dent 5 ability, and will be accepted bv the
country at large as additional proof of the con
Seientious and single-hearted patriotism which
he brings to the discharge of duties and res
possibilities which are without parallel foI
magnitude in the history of the country.

THE REBEL INVASION.

Considerable excitement has been occaSioned
throughout the entire country, and much con
sternation in Maryland and Pennsylvania, by
another grand raid of Lees army and cavalry,
10000 strong.
Lee, it would seem, had his army masscd in
preparation for a movement in the early part
of last week, and before its close crossed the
river by the fords above Fredericksburg, and
was apparently pushing for the line of the Or
ange and Alexandria RailrOad-after reaching
which we cannot but conjecture the line or the
route by which he would attempt to reach the
Potomac. In the meantime, by Friday last,
llOOker's whole army was ON its northward
march, following on that day line between
Warrenton and Catlett Station, Ton the Or
ange and Alexandria road, with a view to bar
Lee 5 progress, in whatever direction it should
be. All our commissary stores have been en-
barked from Aqua Creek
If we rightly understand the reports publish
ed, the rebels entered the valley in various de-
tached bodies, moving by different routs to a
common centre. 1t is now believed that the
greater part of Lees army really marched away
northward leaving behind to engage Hooker S
attention at Fredericksburg only about ten
thousand men. This movement was in pro-
gress when Hooker crossed the Rappahannock,
and Lee hastsly pushed back with portion of
his army but as Hooker merely fortified his
position, Lee resumed his line of march :
These operotions were somewhat disturbed by
the severe cavalry battle under Pleasonton, but
the rebels kept ON their enterprise.
The rebel army marched partly via Culpep-
per and Sperryyille to Luray in the valley,
and partly northward from Thoroughfare Gap,
Possibly some detachment may also have
marched through the more westerly valleys.
