Object or the AboIi1iouis,s

That the aboitionists would destroy tn e
constitution and introduce despotism, is no
empty charge. We give few extracts to
show the temper of that party. The Ne W
York Times says:
"a man Of firm and resolute will, with a
million men in arms to support him, can do
pretty much as he pleases. They have to
learn that paper Constitutions, however con-
venent they may be, can be laid aside or
suspended when necessary"
The Rev. DR.. Bellows, in late sermon on
the proclamation, said:
1.-The policy of the destruction of slavery
and the slave power once avowed, the next
is to cashier every General who dares to
question or disregard it, to dismiss every
Cabinet officer who disputes it, and to
silence every press that lifts guilty colum ms
against it''
And again DIR. Bellows said:
"This is war of extermination-a war to
get rid Of slavery and SHAREHOLDERS. whether
it Is constitutional or not"
E. c. IngersoE, Abolition candidate at
large in Illinois for Congress, said in one of
his speeches:
'If the President should determine that
in order to crush this rebellion, the Consti-
tuition should be suspended during the re-
bellion, 1 believe he has the right to do ito
Rosette, a candidate for the Illinois Legis-
lature, gave utterance to the folio wing:
II am not a constitution mani l am for
carrying on this war under the Constitution,
over the Constitution, through the Consttu-
ton, around the Constitution, or against the
Constitution! Any wey, whatever, so as to
put down this rebellion"

eH' 0eTThe work of repairing the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad is progressing very rapid
ly, and it is expected that by the commence
ment of the new year the whole route will
be again opened. The rebels destroyed
portions of the road most effectualIy. For
about twenty miles along the route almost
every tie and rail was totally or partially
destroyed. They tore up the ties and built
log cabins of them, upon which they laid
crossways the iron rails. They then set the
cabins on fire, and when the rails became
red hot in the middle they were bsnt around
trees and thrown aside.

ARREST OF FoRGERS.-Two notorious
counterfeiters and forgers named Clark and
Garter, were arrested in Louisville on Mon
day. They are supposed to be the men who
% effected the secret forgeries in Clinton, Wyo-
ming, and Carter counties, Pennsylvania,
some time ago. They issued notes on the
following banks, and had them extensively
circulated: jersey Shore Bank, Lock Ha-
g ven Bank; also on banking houses in Bell
fonte, Centre county, Penn. Clark, whose
real name is Piper, is an old offender, and is
well known throughout the West and South
as one of the most skilful forgers ard swim
oilers in existence, but is more particularly
known in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois.

A Catholic view ofPoIitlcaI Preaching.

We did not read carefully the page of
Thanksgiving sermons in the Cincinnati
Daily Gazette of last Friday, having re-
nounced politics as study, and preachers
as professors. But we saw enough to know
that the preachers leave out of view indi-
vidual salvation, the practice of virtue, JUS
tice, chastity and the judgment to come, ,
and expatiate on the political state of the
nation; and while acknowledging that we
are scourged, take upon themselves to de-
fine where the national sin lies, in a manner
rather savoring of the partisan than the
prophet.
We look in vain in their TRADES for any
thing about the will of God, or pointing to
him as the center of events. We know He
loves equally every precept of the moral law,
and hates equally all vices Yet we find
them overlooking pride, envy, vilspeaklng,
gluttony, lying, fraud, injustice, theft, i'm
purity, scurrity, profanity, blasphemy, and
denouncing only the sin of slavery. There
is something wrong in this. These people
do not care for God. If they did, they
would hate one sin as much as another
And it is evident that we have other inIqul-
ties besides slavery among US. One Is the
state of public sentiment which renders the
existence of political preachers possible, and
their trade lucrative The institution is a
patent hypocrisy. A preacher is ostensi5ly
a teacher of religion, an expounder of truths
relating to eternity, whose business It is to
calm human passions, to oppose pride, anger
and envy. These m en- take salaries as prea-
cheers, yet in their diScourses they seldom
allude to religion except to mock it; never
speak of the judgment or eternity, and al
ways foment wrath and agitate the passions,
instead of teaching men to repress them.
Churches built for the worship of'God.
Yet m en- assemble in these political meeting
houses with the sam view with which they
assemble around telegraph and ewspaper
offices when election returns are coming in;
and what they hear from the pulpit suggests
no idea of God, or Of human accountability.

0FPrivate advices from California show
that its people are pushing the Pacific Rail
road from that terminus of the route. Fifty
miles will be graded early in the spring, and
nearly three millions of dollars have been
subscribed to its stock. There is a provi-
sion in the bill which permits the Californ-
iars to build the road until they meet the
eastern corporations. Under this provision
it is expected that other end of the road will
be first completed to Salt Lake City.

Gov. Powell's Speech.

60 We need scarcely ask the readers atten-
,tion to the Great Speech of Senator Powell
which will be found in our outside pages
this week. It is speech which, in view OF
the vital Importance of the questions dis
cussed, -Habeas Corpus and Arbitrary Ar
res;s-involving the personal rights and
liberty of citizens, and in view of the mau-
illness, integrity, patriotism and statesman
like ability of the distinguished author, will
be treasured by freemen as a jewel of
american eloquence. Our noble hearted
Senator made second speech on the same
subject day or two after, not less worthy
of unqualified eulogium, which we shall
copy in our next weeks issue.

GFFourteen years make vast change

the smallest respect for the Constitution, the

pose the American Union. In 1913, Lin
coin refused to abolish the right of the
STAKEHOLDER to make Washington a slave
market. In 1862, he wipes out the right of
the people there to hold slaves at all! The

by the withdrawal of bank notes from cir
culation, under Secretary Chase's policy of

SERVED THEM RIGHT.'-Parson Brownlow
says that the free negroes of Gallipols, o =,
recently made sport of some naked and
barefooted East Tennesseans, ("loyal re-
fugeus'' of the Brownlow stripe) who were
there, calling them poor white trash," &C,
&c. The Parson said that Tennesseans
could not stand that, but came down on the
darkeys with a vengeance, killed two and
chastised the rest. ''Served them right !"
says the Parson. We fear the Parson is fall
ing from grace in the Abolition church. If
he thinks that white men have any rights
that negroes are bound to respect he may as
well go back to Tennessee at once.-N. Y.

BIackwOod on the Emancipation Proc
lamatiOn.

The past month has brought Us to the
veritable crisis of the great civil war in
America. Brought to bay upon their own
soil, the federalS in desperation have invoked
to the aids the unutterable horrors Of ser
vile war. With their armies baffled and
beaten, and with the standards of the rebel
army again within sight of Washington, the
President has at length owned the mpossi-
biHty of success in fair warfare, and seeks
to paralyze the victorious armies of the south
by letting loose upon their hearts and homes
the lust and savagery of four millions of ne
groes. The die is cast. Henceforth it is to
be war Of EXTERN nation. The north seeks
to make of the south desert-a wilderness
of bloodshed and misery-for thus only,
now, does it or eau hope to overcome the
seeding confederacv. Monstrous, reckless,
devilish as the project is, we believe it will
not succeed. But it at least marks the crisis
and turning point of the war. 1t shows that
the north has shot its last bolt-the effects
of which we do not yet see, but beyond
which there is no other. 1t proves what
every one in this country was 10th to believe,
that. rather then let the southern states be
independent, rather than lose their trade
and custom, the north would league itself
with Belzebub, and seek to make hell of
half a continent. In return, this atrocious
act iustifes the south in hosting the black
flag, and proclaiming war without quarter
against the Yankee hosts. And thus, with
in the bosom of civilization, we are called
upon to contemplate war more full of hor-
rors and wick edness than any which stands
recorded in the worlds history.

The Presidents Still Adheres to His Ne.
gr. SlaVe.Freeing Proclamation

iStN
A delegation of border State Congress-
men waited on the President last-night to
consult with him as to his policy after the
1st of January, in reference to the emanci-
patton matter. Mr.. Wiley opposed the
proclamation, but Mr.. Casey, of Kentucky,
said to the President, Do what is for the
best, and l will stand by you; but there is
one thing, he remarked to the President,
this ought to be made universal. Mr.. Will
ley wanted the slaves of loyal men exempt
ed, and only the slaves of disloyal men set
free; why should rebel in Kentucky have
his slaves saved, while Union man in Ten
nessee loses his? Well, said the Presid emit,
if consider on the LIST of January that it
will advance the Union cause to emaucipate
slaves, | will do it.
SLAVERY THE RIGHT ARM OF THE REBELLION.
II think it better to emancipate the
slaves of rebels only, | will do that. have
tn ought over this matter seriously and re-
peatedly. Turning to Mr.. Wiley, he re-
marked: You know me. You know 1 am
an antisavery man. I have come to the
conclusion that slavery is the right arm of
the rebellion, and [ intend to iop it off.

The Late Fight.

WAsHNGToN, Oct. 80.
AT 9 o'clock yesterday morning Major
General Thomas telegraphed the War
Department as follows:
Gen. Hooker was attacked at 2 O'Clock
last night and severe fight ensued, which
continued two hours with slight loss.
Hooker reports, at 1880 A, NJ the conduct
Of our troops TO be splendid. They re-
pulsed every attack made on them and
drove the enemy from every position
they assailed.
The Star has information that on the
9th brilliant movement was planned
and executed under the direction of Gen.
Smith, Chief Engineer of the Department
Of the Cumberland. The two wagon
roads and the use of the river as lines
were acquired by the forces at Chatta-
nOoga, thus relieving the command Of
Major. General Thomas of it's chief en-
barrassment.
Gen. Thomas operations at the mouth
Of the Lookout Valley are spoken of as a
great success, and their brilliancy cannot
be exaggerated.
WAsHNGTos, Oct. 30.-Private advices
from Chattanooga TO day state that the
temporary solution Of the difficulty of
supplying Chattanooga had been found
previous to the recent victories, by build
ing q railroad from Bridgeport to Jasper,
a village about twelve miles northeast
the bed of which was in part graded
some years since. This shortens the
miles of terrible land carriage to twenty
eight, which can be overcome with COM
paratiye case.
There seems to be no prospect of an
immediate grand movement. General
Sherman cannot reach Chattanooga for a
month, and the main portion of the two
army corps have been chiefly engaged in
guarding the railroad and other lines Of
communication. e
The enemy is in no condition, after his
recent reyerses, to make any serious at
tempt to improve his position, and the
status of the two armies is therefore
likely 10 be the same for sometime hence.
Ii has been determined by President
Lincoln not to take any official notice of
the French invasion Of Mexico until or
own domestic difficulties shall have been
adjusted.

RANKl OF MAJOR GENERALS. - The
prevalent notion touching the rank Of
Major Generals in the Tennessee army
is erroneous Major General Grant is the
senior in command, taking rank from
date of 10th of February, 1862; Major
General Burnside is next in rank, his
commission dating March 18, 1862 ;
Mai Gen. Rosecrans 10 next taking rank
from commission dated March 2lsb 1852 (;
Major General g. ii. Thomas commits
sion is dated April 25th, 1862; Major
General HOoker's May 18th, 1862, and
Major General ShermAn's, we think, in
November, 1862. II is evident, there
fore, that Hooker's or ShermAn's rank
were not elements which Affected Gen
eral ROseorAns.
