NEW YORK LETTER.
1Corraspondence Of the Philada. Inquirer.
NEW YORK, April l5-The feeling OF de-
preston which was 50 apparent yesterday: as
the result of the non-capture OF Charle>toa'
has n GOOD measure subsidized: Unless we
soon have a great victory somewhere else, how
over there is reason to tear that the spirit OF
the people will grow apathetc AMI Indifferent.
There is nothing like military success to revive
noDular enthusiasm, and strengthen the hopes
Of the loyal millions for an early suppression
Of the war. Much is expected of Rosecrans,
who is understood to have great army IN ex,
cellcnt condition; and something is considered
about ''dne' from fighting Joe Hooker;
The belief is steadily gaining ground, that
should the worst come to the worst IN our "a deal
ings with Great Britain, we have but little to
lose. The argument is that England is actu
alN at war with us now; that it IS she that IS
furnishing aid and comfort to the Contederates
in NEGOTIATING their cotton loans it is she that
encourages the building in her ports OF Ala
bamas and Floridas to commit depredatlonss
nnon commerce; it is she that has reduced
10 q system the running Of the blockade, and
she alone, of all the European nations, goes
out Of her way to taunt and insult IN her
Parliament. Hence. [ repeat, the conviction
is steadily gaining ground, even with the mer-
chants and ship-owners and others whose IN
terests would be most exposed, that great as
the certainty of another war would be- and
earnestly as we ought to guard against any
such contingency, yet worse things might be-
fall US. In less than sixty days it is believed
we could let loose two hundred priyateerss,
which would make it impossible for British
merchantmen to keep the seas, unless convoy
ed by ship of war.
Its given ont at the British Consulate to-
day that papers have been transmitted to Lord
LYONS, protesting to show that a number OF
British subjects not long ago were kidnapped,
and, after being intoxicated, compelled by the
Police SUPERINTENDENT to serve in the Metro
politan brigade. 1t is also alleged that they
were not permitted to seek redress from the
British Consul Lord Lyons, it is further
said, has had an audience with the State De-
partment in reference to the matter. Mr.. Be-
ward takes the ground that if a foreigner is
voluntarily sworn into the army, he must stay
in. Involuntary enlistments, of course, are
not binding under any circumstances. A tul
statement Of the case was forwarded by the
British Minister to the home government, by
the steamer that sailed On Saturday.

The DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE, STATED BY
Mr.. JEFFERsoN.-Mr. Jefferson, when
Vice President, seeing the effects of the
Administration of the elder Adams to
bring about this state of things, wrote o
letter to friend in which, among other
things, he says:
~ am for preserving to the States the
powers not yielded to the Union. am
for freedom of religion, and against all
the maneuvres to bring about legal as
tendency of one sect over another, for
freedom of the press, and against all vio-
lations of the Constitution to silence by
force, and not by reason, the complaints
or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citi.
zens against the conduct of their agents. y
This is the Democratic doctrine to-day.
1t is the doctrine which has made our
country great, prosperous and free. The
Republicans, like their Federal fathers,
are attempting I" to silence by force, and
not by reason, the criticisms of our citi
zsns against the conduct" of the Admins
t1&tiDu. is there the slightest difference
between the old Federal party and tn

A FAcT.-It is fact, patent and indis-
putable, that everywhere Democratic
speakers and Democratic organs advocate
order, obedience to law and submission to
the lawfully expressed wishes of the ma
jority while, on the other hand, Aboli-
ton speakers and orators are just as busy
in melting violence, disorder, bloodshed
and anarchy. There is not an Abolition
organ in this Stats that has not eHceuT-
aged and exuIted over mob violence, and
every Abolition spouter has preached il
from the stump. Every one of them has
sneered at the Constitution and villified

hope the Democracy, not only of San
Francisco but of the State, will give it a
liberal support. If they do, it will WELD
a powerful influence throughout the State,

WORDS FITLY SPOKEN Hon. John T..
Hoffman, Recorder of the City of New
York, in his address to the Grand Jury,
made reference as follows to those who
taught and now teach Higher Law doc
trine, to those who nullifed Congression-
al enactments, by advocating and dpassing
Personal Liberty Bills, to those who
preached Sharpe's rife theology, and to
those who melted riots in order to effect
the release of fugitive slaves from the Of
ficers of the Government. A dangerous
example had been set the poor men Of
the North by the Abolition leaders, and
it is not strange that they followed it,
when they believed their rights were be-
ing taken from them. Judge Hoffman
thus rebuked the powerful and inhuen-
tial" Republican teachers:
One of the worst signs of the times has
been the prevalent disregard of and want
of respect for the laws and the lawfully
constituted authorities. Dangerous men
dangerous because powerful and influ.
ential-have, by example and precept,
taught the people to disregard and dis
obey constitutional and legal obliga'
tions, and, sometimes upon one pretext
and sometimes upon another, have coun'
tenanced Gf they have not counselled)dis
obedience and resistance. They have
aimed their shafts not only at Legislative
enactments and constitutional provisions,
but at officers of the law-the judges o.
the land and the decisions of the courts.

AN HONEST CoNFEssIoN.- corrup-
tions at Washington are growing too
enormous and odious for even Republi-
cans to swallow. 2he refusal Of the Ad-
ministration to prosecute or rebuke the
swindlers is equivalent to indorsing their
villainy. 1t certainly encourages them to
rob the Government, knowing that they
can do 1t without fear of punishment -
The New Haven Courier, an influential
Abolition paper, says:
Contractors have carried on the war;
The blood Of our men, the graves of our
killed, the tears Of the orphan and widow,
have been coined into money. They have
swindled the Government out of hundreds
of millions of dollars. They have piled
fortune upon fortune. As distinguished
officer at Washington said, call the ope.
rations of this war are carried on by
swinders."

Down WITH SLAVERY. with sla-
very, is the cry of the Abolitionists. Tc
emancipate the slaves of the South they
are willing to subvert the Government,
desolate the country, pauperize the peo
pie and cripple and butcher hundreds ol
thousands of white men. They have no
sympathy for their own race it is all be-
slowed on the African race. In their en-.
deavors to free the negroes, they will en-
slave the whites. Abolish slavery, and
what will be the result? "Their liberty, y

incontestable powers of the States, and

Clay saw the danger of the triumph Of
Abolitionism and implored his country.
men to crush it. Said he:
"I am, Nlrn PRESIDENT, no friend 81
slavery. But l prefer the liberty of my
own race to that Of any other race. The
liberty of the descendants of Africa in the
United StStes is incompatible with the
safety and liberty of the European de.
scendants. Their slavery forms an ex-
ception resulting from a stern and inexo.

The mountain Democrat., 1863-10-24
Noble aantimenta.

The motive which actuates the Admin
istration party is clearly and forcibly ex-
smpli6ed by the language Of its leaders
and representatives. Their intense and
iuextinguishable hatred of the Southern
people is a matter Of history. For years
it has ranked in their beArts; since the
war commenced it has burst forth in all
its fury. Joshua R. Giddings, rewarded
by Mr.. Lincoln with a lucrative appoint
ment for his brutal teaching, exclaimed, a
short time before the Inauguration of the
civil war:
az look forward to the day when the
torch Of the incendiary shall light up the
towns and cities of the South, and | will
hsil that day as the dawn Of political
millennium"
Wendell Phillips, the master spirit Of
the Administration party, expressed the
hope that
"The site of slaveholding capitals might
be obliterated, so that the antiquarian
would search in vain for the place where
they stood"
The Abolition Governor of Wisconsin
declared that there fought to be no place
for the owl to hoot or the bittern to
mourn no monument to show that hu-
man being once inhabited the city where
the war began" and his savage declara-
ton was reiterated and praised by the
Republican party everywhere. The Ad-
ministration organ at Washington recon-
mended that "towns and cities should be
laid waste and plantations ravaged, as
England was ravaged by the invading
Normans" On the retreat Of Lee from
Gettysburg, the New York Times said
that :" the just retribution" to be visited
on Virginia would be that "her soil
would be devastated, and her people driv.
en- from their homes, their fields blasted
and their property destroyed" Not con-
tent with this merciless retributiop,"
the Post went step further, and urged
that call who had borne arms against the
Government should be sent to penal COL
onies, or hired out for small considera-
ton to the Western farmers" In other
words, the pensioned vagabond of the
Post urged the Administration to enslave
the white people of the South. We could
fill our columns with similar sentiments
from Abolition leaders, but the above are
sufficient. A party actuated by such mo-
tives must soon become the scorn OF the
civilized world, and will pass out of exis-
tence amid the jeers and execrations Of
every true american.
