rns Rlse.len In Kentuely.

The copperhead papers talk very queer
ly about the late election in. Kentucky
Al first they could not find words severe
enough to censure the declaration of mar
tial law in the State by Gen. Burnside, in
order to insure fair election. Now they
have concluded that the state officers and
members of Congress, elected on the IN
ion ticket, are just the men they wanted
chosen, and claim the result as victory
against the ad ADMINISTRATION, and in their
favor. Why then should they blame Gen.
Burnside, who, if he had influenced the cleo
ton in any way, would have thrown his
influence in favor OF these very men p
Gen. Burnside did not, however, influence
the election in either direction, by the de-
claration of martial law. He merely pro-
vidsd for fair election, and true ex-
preston of the sentiment of the loyal.
people of the State, and the result has
proved just as we expected if the people
were allowed to vote according to their
own convictious; and that the democrats
are pleased, shows that they possess more
patriotism than they have shown at any
recent southern election. But i: makes
the genuineness of their joy look rather
suspicious-the fact that before the elec-i
ton, they all, to acopperhead, favored the
other aud dtsloyal ticket. ga
The fact is the men just elected on the
Union ticket in Kentucky call themselves
Democrats, aud no one has ever claimed
that they are Republicans. But this is
claimed-and all the sophistries of the
Copperheads cannot make 1t otherwise
that they are loyal men and will uphold
the Government in thevigorous aud thor.
ough prosecution of the war, and in the
use of every means to put down this rebel
lion. They differ from the Government on
many points of policy, and have the man
illness to say So; but at the same time
pledgiug themselves to sink these differ
ences in the one great question Ofifinishing
up the war, and with it the rebellion, Mr..
Brsmlette, the Governor elect, in his
speeches before the election frankly stated
that he did not agree with the general Adj
miuistratiou ia everything. but again aad
again declared that ne was in favor. of
standing by the Government in thesW war,
and explicitly stated that he was in favor

uPaying wSoFEmen Win o ride r 5.

We are pleased to observe that in one
State ofsthe Union at least, the legislators
have been Humane and thoughtful enough
to abolish forever the pernicious system of
paying workmen with orders, or store pay,
rs it's sometimes called. This practice is
more common than any one would suppose,
and is not at all an equable or n just pro-
ceeding. Every man should be paid in
money what hisservices are actually worth,
and he should beallowed the privilege of
disposing of his earnings as he may see fit.
Employers will find that the amount of
work performed by each individual will be
much more than it would uRder some
what com ulsory plan of obliging him to
use whatever may be in the store in which
his orderlis payable. In Pennsylvania a
law has recently been passed on this sub.
ject the provisions of it are worthy of the
attention of all persons interested. 1t pro-
vides that " it shall not be lawful for any
iron master, foundry-man, collier, factory
man or company, their agents or clerks, to
pay the wages or any part of the wages of
workmen or laborers by them employed, in
either printed, written or verbal orders, up
on any store-keepers or other dealerE in
merchandise or other articles, whether con-
nected in business with the said iron mas
ter, fonudry-man, collier or factory-mau or
not. Any irou-master, fouudry-nan, col
lier or factory-mau, paying to the said
workman or laborer, SO by him employed,
or authorizing their agent or agents to pay
any part of the wages Of said workmen in
orders upon any such storekeeper, shall
forfeit the amountof said order or orders
SO given or paid, the same shall not be de-
talked against the wages of said workman
or laborer, and he shall be entitled to re-
cover the full amount Of his wages as
though no such order or orders had been
given or paid, and no settlement made with
such employer shall bar such recovery,
aud any iron-master, foundry man, collier
or factory man, offending against the pro-
visions of the first section of this act, shall
be guilty of misdemeansr, and, upon con-
viction thereof, shall be punished by fine
aud imprisonment, or either. at the dis
erection of the court trying the same; and,
provided, further, that this ect shall ex-
teud to all seamstresses or females en-
ployed in factories or otherwise. "-Seisn-

Unionlsm In New Orleans.

The Hon. John Hutchins, special agent
of the Government at New Orleans, brings
a most hopeful account of the position of
Union affairs in that section. The people al
most unanimously admit that the rebellion
is failure and hope, for the sake of peace,
that the tail end of treason may soon be
suuelched. Mr.. Hntchins reports in favor
of re-establishing the United States Mint,
and thinks that its establishment will make
the citizens feel more secure, and demon
is forever to hold New Orleans. Many of
strate that the fixed purpose of the Govern
ment the old banks New Orleans have be-
come insolvent, having subscribed at the
commencement of the war for Confederate
bonds, now worthless. These banks the
people have no confidence in, and arrange
ments are being made to establish a Ma
tional bank, under the auspices of the
Controller of Currency,
Mr.. Hutchins has already forwarded in
structions and forms for its establishment.
The supply of cotton in Louisiana is much
more extensive than was expected, and it
is now coming into New Orleans in large
quantities. The rebel cotton burning the
DRY, it seems never worked, and immense
supplies of cotton, thought to be Destroy
ed, are continually coming to light
Twenty thousand pounds are reaching the
city daily. Sugar is held at &c., and the
supply is ample, though it is thought that
only $4,000 tons were raised in the State
of Louisiana during last year. The health
of New Orleans remains good, and there
is no prospect ofyellow fever. Mr.. Hutch
ins has done valuable service in reorgan-
izing the civil departments of New Orleans,
and the agents of the Government here ap-
prectate the work done.-NetO York Tfi-

expressing fear that unless the war is soon

makes these significant comments among
Others:
I'VE agree with our contemporary in
much of the above. But we have NO idea
that peace can be obtained upon our own
terms. The most powerful nations seldom
succeed in doing that; what the great
mass of our people desire is a cessation of
hOstilities and negotiations. If they could
reach that point they would feel that the
conflict of arms would not be renewed, and
that some settlement would be effected
which would leave them in the future in
the enjoyment Of liberty and happiness
One side or the other must conquer. Will
Eve millions of whites conquer twenty
millions of the same racer Will they
conquer peace On the very soil of these
twenty millions2 Not in any event, if
manhood and will fight. They fought at
Sharpsburg and Gettysburg, and they
worsted us at the latter place. Northern
troops are not eowards-they fight nearly
as well as southern troops We cannot
achieve signal victories over them on their
own soil. What thenP II the worst is
destined to overtake us, would it not be
wise and prudent to take less than the
worst. provided we conld do so compatibly
with honor?
at is timeEto consult reason and COM
mon sense, and TO discard passion. That
peace cannot be obtained by fighting
merely, is now apparent to all. In the
language of highly intelligent friend,
who writes us from a county bordering on
the South Carolina line, the people are
tired Of this awful war. 1t must end at
some time, and there must be a6starting
point to an end. Let our next congress
sional elections turn on the propositions,
that congress shall appoint commissioners
to meet others on the part of Lincoln, to
make an honest effort to stay the etfusion
of blood, by an honorable Adjustment
We spoke just now of the worst Detailing
our people as the result of this war. What
is the worst? It would be the condition
of provincial dependeDee on the federal
government, each state being ruled by a
military governor, as Tennessee is, and
the emancipation of our slaves in our
midst. That woatd be the worst. If the
war continues is il not likely that this will
happen2 Judging the future by the past,
and we have NO other means of judging
We fear it will"

The Ottawa free trader., 1863-04-04

Hon. o. II. Browning was one of the
speakers at the recent grand democratic
mass meeting at Quincy. The Herald says
Mr. B. made a noble speech. "He demon
strated (what democrats generally have
regarded as an impossibility) that a man
can cali himself republican and still be a
patriot" Also, that ' his speech met the
cordial appreciation and received the
hearty applause Of the democrats"
A year ago Mr. Browning was Lincoln S
81 right hE4i9, man" in the Senate. They
were then both conservative men, engaged
in devising measures for carrying on the
war with visor for the suppression of the
rebellion and restoration of the Union.
The democratic party then supported Mr..
Lincoln earnestly and heartily No man
accuses Mr.. Browning of having changed
his politics since then. But he now finds
himself at horne in democratic meeting,
while the democracy are accused of turn
ing traitors 10 the government for ceasing
to support Mr.. Lincoln's administration.
The democracy then were loyal enoa gh--so
was Mr.. Browning. They stand exactly
now where they stood then. How is it
loyalty year ago is secessionism now {?
Suppose the democracy turn about and
support Mr. Lincoln again, how long will
it be before their new position is declared
treason? Is loyalty thing of fits and
sta,ts-one thing to-day and another to-
morrow
