This essentially Abolition body is, by
this time, under full headway having elec-
ted their Speaker, without trouble, by ma
jority Of twonty, which secures to them
all the other officers. If this majority can be
calculated upon as reliable on all admins
tration measures, we may look for full
development of Abolition policy within q
short time. We rejoice that it is so, for
then we shall know precisely where they
stand and how to treat them. We trust
that neither apprehensons nor modesty
on their part will induce them to conceal
any part of their plan for carrying on the
war, crushing rebellion, emancipating and
taking care of the negroes, reducing the
States to military provinces, and finally
reconstr ucting the Union on the basis of q
strong Central Despotism, overriding the
States and holding the people in subsection
by the military arm. We desire to see
their policy and plan presented with such
distinctness that hereafter there can be no
Misunderstanding or misipterpretation of
them. They owe this much to the country
and "a decent respect for the opinions of
the people, should induce them to act fair
ly, to drop subterfuge, and take their stand
squarely and honestly upon the platform
of measures which they intend to carry
out.
We have had enough bush-fghting, and
a series of skirmishes, or a general battle
in the open field, would be great relief,
and perhaps hasten the contest between
might and right to more speedy conclu.
sion,'
We therefore pray Mr.. Lincoln and his
Congress to play at bo-peep no longer,
but show their game at once. And if des-
potism is their aim, crush the people at
blow, instead of subjecting them to pro.
longed torture.

Court, in Baltimore, on Monday last, the
cases of Charles Howard, Vim, H. Catch

cover severally, twenty thousand dollars
damages for the arbitrary arrest and i'm.
prisonment OF the plaintiffs in July, 1861,
were finally disposed OF. The suits were
taken from the docket by consent of the

was authorized by his client to say that
the latter (Simon Cameron) had no part
in the arrest and imprisonment of the
plaintiffs, or either of them.

for controlling the elections in three SOW
ereign States by military orders, in viola
tioR of the Constitution of the United
States and of the Constitution and laws
of the respective States the President ought
to be impeached, and would be if we had
an'honest, upright Congress. We thought

Delaware.

We direct the attention of our readers 10
the history of the election in the State of
Delaware, as published in another part Of
our paper. Among all the disgracelul
things attempted and done by the presen
administration none is more humiliating
either to it or to the people.
A State on which hostile foot has neyer
trod, a State more loyal than Massachu-
setts, if promptness in furnishing war ma
'erial is any criterion, has been coo.ly an d
deliberately stripped ofits municipal rights,
degraded from its former sovereignty, and
has become once more the Province of Del
aware. The election was mockery more
than half the votersin the gallant little State,
not coming to the polls, around which were
Schencks soldiery, by order of the Presi
dent.
Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware are
carried by force-Pennsylvania Ohio and
New York byJTaud. Look at the history
of these States and then talk of elections
by the sovereign people!!!

MORE TAxEs.-It is announced that the
excise duties on distilled spirits are to be
largely increased, and it is probable that
the advance is but one of many others =.
The revenue of the country from foreign
duties is still very considerable, but as the
premium on gold goes up importers will
fall off, and the deficiency will have to be
supplied by direct taxation. War is a
luxury which must be paid for.

received 7,999,a and Brown Dem votes
At tbe general election in 1852, the whole
vote of the State was 1890. The result
of the election of 1863 shows a falling of
in the aggregate vote of 1913. The Dem

of them under pressure voted for Smithers

Constitution and laws of his country. The
man who says the Union as it was shall

5siu Comment on Fast Living.

5ssu CUn1nent on Fast Living.
An old man, who has been living in the
most abject poverty for several years, vi.
brating between Worcester county and
Berks, Massachusetts, and Con necticut,as be
was shifted by selectmen who wished to
clear him from their precincts, has at last
found refuge, but perhaps only tempo.
rary one, in the State Alms.house at Mon
son. Forty years ago this same man did
heavy grain and shipping business in
New York, and was among the most in
fuential and respected of the merchants of
the metropolis. About the time of the
completion Of the Erie Canal he, with 9TH
ers, conceived a grand scheme Of doing an
immense foreign trade, and went to Europe
taking most of his wealth with him. Fam.
lily affairs did not run smooth, and he gave
up his grand project, went to London, led
gay life, was feasted by lords, became
very intimate with the household of no.
bic Earl, and was presented al Court by
the American Minister.
Afterwards he crossed to Paris, where
some imbroglio obliged him to accept the
challenge of fighting marquis, who sent
ball through his right arm; but our pau
per being poor shot, severely wounded
his own second instead of the marquis, and
he had to leave that city. Then he went
to Munich, and made love to niece of one
OF the royal families, was accepted, got
drunk at palatial ball over his conquest,
made bad thing of it and left Munich
with despatch. He continued in his exces-
ses, gamblsd away all his property, was
vagabond in England few years, then
in New York land then throughout western
Massachusetts. His life is sadder COM

On Tuesday, the lst inst, IL became ov-
ident that we could not drive them further
without tho greatest danger to ourselvcs.
Nearly one weeks rations we're exhaust
ed, all the forage, and no communication
oped with Washington. The wagons, am.
bulences, &c., were sent to the rear, but
no material alteration was made in our
line of battle. The men continued 10 throw
up intrenchmenos, as though falling back
was ont the question. AT ST p. IN the
troops we're quietly Withdrawn leaving our
pickets in position, and the camp-fres
brightly burning. A portion of the dis
tance was gone over at the doublequich.-
All night long was the weary march con.
tinued, and no. until sunrise Of the End did
we reach Culpepper Ford. Our pickets
did not leave until Al a. m, and succeeded
in gaining the shore in safety. This morn
ing the troops were all safely back in their
camps.
The object OF the oompalgn was TO pre-
vent renforcencnts from going to Long
street, or if they had gone to attack Lees
weakened army. We not only succeeded
in the former, but compelled Davis to send
more troops to Lee. The fact that Meade
refused to, occupy Fredericksburg heights,
although he could have done SO, proves to
my mind that all idea of taking Richmond
by that route is abandoned.
The only casualty in our Battery was
Serg't. f. H. Snider, who was soverely y
wounded in the thigh.
