THE RULE OF ClVI


A Republican journal in the State of Malne-
the Portland Transcript-after expressing the
opinion that but few votes changed by the
political discussions that preceded the late election
in that State, remark. as follows
Though probably no votes were CHANGED, yet views
expressed that should lead the members OF the op
posing parties to greater moderation aud thought Inc
party must admit that the right tn dissent from the
policy Of The Administration undoubtedly exists while the
other must feel that in giving expression to that dissent
great caution necessary that aid and encouragement
be given to those who seeking by force OF arms 10
overthrow not merely the policy OF The Administration but
the Government itself"
Tfisis the view not merely of common candor and
honesty, bat is also the only theory of duty com
patible at with popular and stable government
The extremes of partisanship are to be avoided
equally by the political friends and adversaries of
the Administration, for it behooves each TO remem-
Der that, in making all the ends they aim at those
of their country" they are not to leave out of
account the higher obligations due to God and
Truth ale. all the ends thou aim'st at
Be thy Countrys, thy Gods, and Truths" is an
adjuration which, by its comprehensiveness,
strikes equally at the root of time-serving
servility and of factious opposition. As is weH
said by another, "the man who will do wrong
for his country will do wrong against bis
country. Patriotism springs either from principle
or selfshness Principle leads one to do right ;
selfshness has 40 exclusive regard for self, even
at the expense of right and country

THE NEW SUMMONS.

We need not direct the attention OF our readers
to the important proclamation of the President
which will be found in another column, calllng LOT
a new levy of three hundred thousand mep' 10
serve for three years, or during the war.
Whether regard be had to the righttul authofi
from which this summons proceeds, to the method
selected by the President for giving 1t effect, or
to the object to which it is directed, all good and
loval citizens of the United States are bound to
heed the invocation of the President when he calls
on them "to lend their willing, cheerful, and ef-
fectye aid to the measures thus adopted, with
view to reinforce our victorious armies in the
fsld and bring cur needfu military operations TO
prosperous end, thus closing forever the foun'
tans of sedition and civil war
Our readers will perceive that the method
adopted by the President for raising this new
quota is precisely such as We have repeatedly re-
commended, ard the superior advantages OF which,
as compared with the draft alone, we recently took
occasion to enforce at some length. And the 3D.
iect to which it is proposed by the President to
apply this augmentation of our military forces
the suppression of sedtiop and civil war--ls IN
strict conformity with the original, and, as we
conceive, the only rightful and Legitimate policy
in the conduct of the war forced upon the Govern
ment by the Dsunionists of the South.

NEW YORK, March 3O.-A special dispatch

passed either flank of this army in Kentucky.
Therefore the Kentucky panic lie baseless.
There is reason to believe that Van Dorm,

airy, has moved to strike Cumberland river
below Clarksville to intercept navigation.
There is Trustworthy information that the
rebels are concentrating exclusively in this
front to resist Rosecrans's advance-not to at
tack him. They are now not less than sixty
thousand strong, and fortified at Tullahoma,

There are no troops at Chattanooga. No
