The letter of the President to the Mis-
souri, delegation, is new evidence of his
skill in dealing with the difficult ques-
tons presented by the times. 1t carries
conviction with its honest and straight
forward statement and in his letter, we
believe, there is nothing to which excep-
tion can be taken on the score of style
His preliminary statement of the compli-
cations which beset the solution of the
problems arising every day, is remarkably
compact:
eve are in civil war. In such cases
there always is main question; but in
this case that question is perpexing
mpound-Union and Slavery. 1t thus
becomes question not of two sides mere
", but at least four sides, even among
those who are for the Union, saying
nothing of those who are against 1t. Thus,
those who are for the Union ,cih but not
acihout slsvery-those for it wtthoa but
not pith-those for it rih or aoithout.
but prefer it ,cith, and those for it ,cih or
uitAout, but prefer it ,c,thom"
The Presidents own position is among
those who are for the Union. with or
without slavery, but who prefer it without;
and this no doubt is the position of an
overwhelming majority of the American
people. He will not violate the Consti-
tuition to crafty lis preference. 1t is
not necessary the people neither demand
this nor would justify it, yet the prefer
enre Is natural and nrorer
The President has unquestionably
gained strength with the American peo-
pie and 10 the judgment of the world by
his frank expositions of policy. A writer
in the Revue Rationale, NJ. Eugene Des-
posts, speaks of President Lincoln as "the
eminent msn whose name posterity will
place high above SO many spurious great
men of our time and of all times" and
the London Spectator, In a recent article.
draws an elaborate parallel between him
and Lord palmerston. At the same time,
the Spectator, in speaking OF the Presi
dents Illinois letter said: "All candid
men must admit be makes out case fal
better than any which the pens of his par
ty have. as yet, made for him." In the
Missouri letter, the President, showing q
thorough understanding of the difficulties
Of the position, deals with the case firmly
and without equivocation. No ruler could
apprelend more completely the temper Of
the people, or address himself more accu
rately to the accomplishment of the ends
desired in the interest of order and goot

various quarters as TO the nativity OF the
celebrated robber, ipcendiary and murder

Quan,rel was born in Canal Dover, Tus-

settlers of Kansas, and was day laborer
at Leayenworth in the earliest history OF
that town. Al the breaking out of the
troubles there, he identified himself with
the free State party, and was for two
years one of "Jennison's Jayhawkers F"
At the commencement of the war, he at

voting ls Not Enough.

The New York Times (Administra-
ton says:
"The people have pronounced grand
ly for breaking down the rebellion by
war. Now let them see to it that the
Government has the means wherewith
to do it. Mere voting, without CORES
ponding action, would be hardly less
than mockery. If Vallan1igho
and Woodward and Seymour had been
elected, there might have been some
consistency in hesitating to respond
to the call of the President for more
men. Such results might have been
plausibly held out as such a condem-
nation of the war policy Of the Ad-
ministration as to make any further
increase of the army inexpedient.-
But the people having sanctioned the
policy, are bound to aid in its consum-
nation. The same ardor which they
exhibited at the polls, they should now
apply to the raising of volunteers. If
this be done, the supply of the three
hundred thousand called for by the
President will be soon realized, and
the breaking down of the rebellion
will be an object not simply success
fully voted for, but successfully fought
for-not merely an accepted policy,
but on accomplished fact.

Amy shape but That"

The Richmond Enquirer, chief orr
gan of the rebel leader jeff Davis
says:
"But for the poisonous embrace of
the Democratic party. these States
would have been free and clear of the
unnatural Union twenty years ago.
The idea of that odious party coming
to life again, and holding outfits arms
to us makes us shive. Its foul breath
is malaria: its touch is death. 1t was
not the Stewards and the Summers,
and the Black Republicans and Abo~
ltionists who have hurt us. They
were right all along. Let our enc
my appear as an exterminating YAM
kee host, we pray, and not as a Dem
ocratic Convention. Let him take
any shape but that! Already we have
visions of the men of feeble knees, ten
der feet, and undulating spines, losing
their sense and manhood by the con-
tact, as they did, alas. 50 often be-
fore.

Who are the AiderS and AbcttOrS
of the COnfederateS!

Let Montgomery Blair, Postmaster
General and a member of the Cabinet,
answer. In reply to an invitation to
attend meeting held in New York,
at which Messrs. Bryant, H. B. Stan
ton, Goodwin, Field & Go. figured, in
which the resolutions drawn declared
the doctrine of the extinction ofStates,
as set forth by Senator Sumner, Mr..
Blair wrote:
II do not concur in the proposition
that certain States have been recently
overturned and wholly subverted as
as members of the Federal Union,
upon which this call is based. This
is in substance what the ConIederates
claim, and the fact that Secession is
maintained by the authors of this call
for different purpose does not make
it more constitutional, orprevent them
from being actual aiders and abettors
Of the Confederates.

RuHIy for the 55tTl.

The 57th Regiment, 0. V. L. gave
Vallandigham a majority of Seven, at
the late election. The 9th is one of
the oldest and best Regiments in the
service, has been engaged in some
fourteen battles, and large number
of skirmishes, and has covered itself
with glory in every conflict. A great
influence was brought to bear against
the gallant men to cause them to vote
the Abolition ticket, but, as We expect
ed they have proven morally as well
as physically brave, and have dared

voting according to their convictions

Of the government, and in favor of the
Union and the Constitution [Au-

Gme Terrible L Osscs of the War.

The following paragraph, which we
clip from the Washington National In
telligencer, tells the story of the enor-
nous losses of the war better than any
thing we have seen. 1t says:
'sTHE WOUNDED IN OUR. BATTLES.
We have. now in the United States
at least two hundred and thirty-five
general hospitals for the use of the
soldiers, containing about eighty thous-
and patients. To show on what
large scale our battles have been
fought, as we do every thing else, it
seems that during four months of
1862 there were treated at our hos
pitfalls 20 $50 cases Of gunshot
wounds. The wounded of the whole
British Army in the Crimean War
was only little over $4,000, and their
intire hospital accommodations in the
three years would not have sufficed
foa the wounded at either Of the bat
ties of Shiloh, Antictam or Gettys-
burg

New RA1LRoAD.-~We learn upon
good authority that the railroad which
was commenced in this county some
years ago Will probably be completed
during the year 1864. The eastern
terminus of this road will be at or near
Steubenville, on the Ohio. From
thence the line will run through JEFF
ferson and Harrison counties to Cum
berland, in Guernsey, via. Winchester,
Washington, Campbell's Station, Sen.
ecaville and Point Pleasant. From
Cumberland the road gees to McCon,
nclsville, ON the Muskingum, and from
thence to Portsmouth and Cincinnati
This line passes through one of the
most productive regions Of Ohio, and
is thirty miles shorter to the Eastern
cities than any other route Cam

Poland and Russia.

The New York correspondent Of
the St. Louis Republican writes:
ga new issue seems to have arisen
to divide the Democrats and the Res
publicans. The former are taking up
the cause of Poland, as against the
pro>Russian proclivities and demon
strations of the Administration and
its supporters. AT the grand mass
meeting at Cooper Institute, where
Governor Seymour spoke, there were
loud and vociferous cheers for Poland
and the Poles, together with groans
for the Russians. | hope it is not
reasonable in me to confess that |
was glad to hear both the cheers and
groans, not that / loved Russia less,
but Poland more. | can not make it
right that for the sake of an expedi-
ency, which is doubtful and at best
only temporary, we should so sudden>
ly ignore all our old traditions, forget
the memory Of Kosciusko, and take
the side of the powerful oppressor a.
gainst the heroic oppressed. But we
have been for a long time travelling in
this direction, and |. fear that we have
yet further to 60 in the downward
path before we find the deepest depths
of national ignominy. The Admins
tration press, of course, sneers at the
Democratic opinion.expressed at Coop
er Institute, and slurs over Polish af-
fairs with as few words as possible
They would not, for the world, tread
on the tender toes Of 'our distinguish-
ed Russian VISITORS by whose pres
ence we are so highly honored. What
a pity the unfortunate Poles had not
been born blackp'
Never before in the history of this
country has a considerable portion of
the Americans sympathizcd with des-
potism, and give1 their moral influence
against people struggling for liberty.
We have been the friends of Poland,
Hungary, Ireland, Italy, and of all
the oppressed nationalities, Now we
are placed sn the attitude, though our
Republican Administration, of sym
pathizing with the Russian dcspot a
gainst one of the most gallant, but cru
ely oppressed, people on the globe

ties of Revolutionary association, who
sent their Kosciusko and Pulaski and
others to aid us in the dark days of
1776, and who, under Washington,
poured out their blood for our cause.

AbOlltiOhists PrOiOnging the
War.

Lord Lyons, the English Minister
to the United States, in confidential
letter to Earl Russell, in November,
1862, less than one year ago, wrote:
"All things considered, my own
opinion certainly is, that the present
moment is not favorable one for ma
king an offer Of mediation. 1t would
in all probability be rejected by the
President, who appears to have thrown
himself into the arms of the extreme
radical party.

A New Rebellion Predicted. i.

"The result to be attained is as im-
portant to our opponents as it is tous.
What if, though battle and suffrage,
the President, who was elected 1860,
should, by his opponents, be kept out
of the Presidency of the United States
until another election? What if they
should then succeed in clecting Pres
ident in 1864, against the majority
who elected Abraham Lincoln in 1860?
Can that majority be expected to ac-
quiesce, without voting, and without
bloodshed, in the election of Horatio
Seymour? Certainly not; and then
you shall have perpetual civil war,
which is nothing else than perpetual
anarchy"
The above is an extract from the
speech of VIM. II. Seward, Secretary
of State. Auburn, N. Y, delivered the
day before the election. If it has any
meaning it is that if the South is not
conquered and brought back into the
Union before new President is elect
cd, that the friends of Mr.. Lincoln will
not acquiesce in and submit to the
election of the new man. Mr.. Sew
ard seems to thing it justification for
New York, or New England, or Ohio,
to revolt against the new Government
of 1865, because certain Southern
States did against that of 1861! We
are told that the North would revolt
against its own Government, because
the South went off in 1860. Mr.. Sey-
mour; and all other Northern Demo-
Gratis and their friends did not revolt,
but remaining true in their allegiance
Mr.. Lincoln's Administration, but
nevertheless Mr.. Lincoln and his ad-
herents, Mr.. Seward thinks, can not
submit to their Administration, if they
elect one!- Gin. Enc.

who rs the TrNe Patriot

The National Intillegencer thus an
swers this question, in words that
should be engraven on the heart of
every American citizen and every A
merican youth:
"The true patriot is he who as keen
ly resents an attack on the Constitu-
ton as On the integrity or unity of the
national territory. For the Constitu.
ton is to the country what the inform
ing spirit is to the body it animates
and vitalizes. No man can be loyal
to the country, or to the Government,
without being loyal to the Constitution,
by which the country is made an Or.
ganic body polite; by which the Gov
ernment' becomes the constituted au
thority' ofthe land, and by which 'the
Administration is made the depository
of the nations power, and the exccu,
tor of the nations will, so far as the
one is granted and the other expressed,
under the limitations of that great
Charter"

Power, the most pertinent description
of which may be said to be that it is
exactly the opposite of the Peace
Power-eonfelring upon the Admin
istration precisely those authorities
which the Constitution, upon thepeace
establishment, was designed topreycnt
it from assuming. 1t is not surprising
that such discovery, made concern
ing the Constitution Of the United
States, should be followed by similar
one concerning the Constitution of the
State of Ohio; inded, the invention in
the one case seems necessarily to in
clude it in the other; and We have no
reason to doubt, as much as Mr.. Lin
celn, Mr.. Tod believes himself to be
administering the Constitution which
he promised under oath, to protect and
defend, according to its War Power.
Now, being less conyersant with con-
stitutions when on the war than when
on the peace establishment, we do not
profess to be able TO pronounce posi-
lively on the question whether ten or
fifteen thousand dollars, paid, laid out
and expended in the excursion to Get
tysburg, is q thing prescribed and CON-
manded by the Constitution in Ohio,
when in ifs war aspect; and, as this
is question of some Importance, we
would beg leave respectfully to sug-
gest to the Governor the expedicncy
of settling it hy prcclamation.- Gin.

A RcluTu 10 giie Policy of the Fa-
Tiers.

Before they came into power, the
abolitionists promised the people,
among other desirable things, ga re-
turn to the policy of the fathers As
in most other things they have at
tempted to do, they have overdone the
matter. They have returned to the
policy of the great~great grandfathers,
away back to the middle ages, when
blue laws were in force, witch burning
in vogue, and bigotry and intolerance
and fanaticism rampant everywhere -
When prisons yawned widely for those
who refused to adopt the belief of the
elders; when the gag and the bayonet
were used to enforce the tyrants de.
cree, and when the thouse was not dis
vided against itself," because no divis-
ion was tolerated. In ''feturning to
the policy of the fathers" the Jaco'
bins have returned altogether too far.
