THE REASONS WHY.

Tho Erpress, evading the facts and records
by which we proved the falsity of its charge
that the Republicans did nothing, and would
do nothing, to avert Civil War, renews Its as
saults on tho President, by asking questions
as follows:

traitor who insinuates that it did. The police
man who arrests a law-breaker, the sheriff
who serves legal process, does not "intend
War;" nor does he make War if his process be
resisted. II is the law-breaker, the process.
resister, who intends War" and makes War.
The Express used to be for "The Union, the
Constitution, and the enforcement of the laws"
but now it is 80 recreant from it's old wing
principles as to accuse the magistrate VINO, Id
obedience to his solemn oath, endeavored 10
enforce the laws, of intending War"
Mr. Lincoln called out $4,000 men for three
months expressly to defend tho Capital, with
its public odifces and archives, against threat
ened capture and spolatiOn; and they sub
served that purpose. He at the same time
summoned the new Congress Gas yet but In
part elected) at the earliest practicable day,
and awaited it's authorization to procure the
necessary men and means to crush the Slave

Anscer-There uere more men in the Ma
tionai service on the 28th Of March, 1862, than
were required, had they been properly led-many
more than our then military leaders could be
induced, impelled, driven, to make any use of.
Had the then commanders of our armies
obeyed their orders and done their duty, the
Rebellion would have been crushed year
ago. But they hung back, aud dawdled, and
and shuffled, until the Rebel chiefs were en-
abed to decree aud effect sweeping Con-
scription, whereby the whole aspect of the
struggle was altered.
The War has been conducted Cor rather, our
armies have been commanded) in good part by
men who regarded the Rebellion as merely
an irregular opposition to Black Republi-
can rule, and meant to have it bought of
rather than put down. 1t takes time-it has
taken TOO much time--to get the baton out Of
the hands of these Military Copperheads; but
tho needed reform will be effected, and the
result will be Victory, Union and Peace.

The house of the Union League Club-the
residence of the late Mr.. Parish, on Union
square--was opened last evening. for the first
time, to its members and their friends. The
house has been newly decorated and furnished,
and was fitted up for the occasion with ban
ners and shields, bearing the names OF the
great battles of the Rebellion, in admirable
taste, and was gay with profusion of the
choicest flowers. The crowd that filled
the spacious rooms were entertained with
music and occasional speeches from Mr..
Bancroft and other distinguished citizens.
This new club is an association Of gentlemen,
and 30 far is q private association. 1t is, how
ever, o growth OF the times originating in the
necessity that was felt of having some such
organization in which answering loyalty TO
the country should be the first requisite OF
membership, and where ncisism should not
only not be tolerated, but should be marked
as dsreputabe. 1t is hardly necessary to add
that it represents the highest character OF the
city.
1t would be we'll if the example thus set
should be followed on smaller scale In the
formation of Ward Clubs, organized on the
same principle. and within the means OF oil
classes. Great good may be done by such as
socations in the establishment of Reading
Rooms, in bringing loyal men into intimate
social relations with each other The Club
House may be made the nursery of public
virtue, as the grog.shop has hitherto been the
fruitful source of political and private vice.

TIIARIN.

The Copperheads of our State have at last
discovered one Union refugee from the South
who can be induced to lend them some sort OF
countsnance, and they are naturally making the
most of him. His name is Robert S. ThariD,
late law partner of the traitor Yancey. Should
be ever fall into the hands Of the Southern
Copperheads, they will repay bis services to
their Northern brethren as they have just tried
10 do those of Senator Garlic. If he is O
true Unonist, be will soon learn that bis OBJ
ject cannot be advanced by seeking to d1redii
and weaken the Administration through whom
the Union is to be saved. We hope soon TO see
him, like the great mass Of the refugees from
Dixie, giving an effective and thorough sup
port to the constituted authorities Of the Union,
and thus aiding to put down the Rebellion.
