Law and Order

The conduct of the Delegates to the
Democratic State Convention, in submitting
to Col. -Gilberts' order for their dispersion,
has been mnch canvassed. The prevailing
opinion seems to be that in their acqu:es-
ence they not only yielded to the necessity
of submitting to over-powering force, but
apart from that, acted wisely and discreetly
under all the circumstances; which It is. the
opinion of few, at least, that Gilbert, as
an intruder in every sense, and undoubtedly
the too. of others, In violating the Consti-
tutiobal rights of citizens and freemen OF
Kentucky, should at all hazards, have been
summarily put out of the Hall the of Con-
vention. Whatever contrariety of op inion
may exist on that point, however, there can
be none on this-that the Democrats re-
spected the peace of the public, as law and
order loving men, while Gilbert, the instru-
ment, willing or unwilling of others, violated
the Constitution and laws of the land at the
hazard of bloody disturbance of the pub
lie peace. Yet this Gilbert is the tool. Of
those who are restoring government" o.

.G For some months past, many of the
leaders of the sometime dominant party in
Kentucky, have endeavored to identify
themselves with the Northern Democracy.
The alliance, we presume, is desired by
these modest and disinterested gentlemen
for patriotic objects-their patriotism being
understood to be expressed in their very
natural wish to retain power and their re-.
pugnance to be deprived of it Most of
these men were "Whigs'' in 1852" Know
Nothings" in '54-"Americans" in So
"Oppositionists' in '57-"Union'' in go
Neutrality" in '61-"Union" again. in '62
land now they claim to be the "Union
DenocraeY"-and some of them with the
greatest modesty in the world, assert they
are the true Democracy of Kentucky and
that the delegates to the Democratic State
Convention, dispersed by Col. Gilbert, were
not true d Democrats After such an inter
esting history and such varied and instruc-
tive experience in relation to parties, en-
joyed by these original Wings, would it not
be the strangest perversity on the part of
the old Dem ocracy not to take them at once
into full communion and install them in all
high places? r-- f" .- Iea;.

Life of the Nation y

r This issEPhrases yeryroften heard Of late,
ard it is uttered most often by those who
seem to have the least conception Of its
meaning. w bat i the t'lifs Of the nasion"?
Is It a mere name, or is it reality? Is it a
substance or a shadow? "Life of the nation"
what Is that? They who so often and
Hppanty use the phrase would be~puzzled
to define it; but we think we may lend them
some aid in an inquiry into its nature. Life
implies vitality; and this vitality is main
tanned and expressed by the term blood. in
the animal kingdom. and,sqP in the yesst-
able kingdom. The elife of the nation," We
take it. is fgurative expression, denotiug
the existence OF the established government.
But if the operations of our political institu-
tons may be- fguratively termed the pulsa-
tions of Irrational life; we may pertinently
ask what is the ''life bloodo' of the nation?
To this no answer more fit can be returned,
than that the life blood of the nation is The
fraternity cfths people. The Constitution is
based on this fraternity; and without it, the
government is not worth q straw. Whoever
disturbs this fraternity, strikes knife into
the jugular and destroys "the life of the
nation" Can war restore fraternity between
belligerent peoples? Every stroke of the
sword 7cuts away more and. of the
strandsof the cords which hitherto united

ness He proved himself not only vigilaut,
but patriotic and able. -<To,ths, principles of
the Constitution Cand. consequently to the
Union), he proved himselftrue as the needle
to the pole. The proceedings of the Senate
display him as one Of the most able, as well
as ready and courteous debaters that
ever added renowu to that august body. He
will enjoy, as he deserves, an enviable fame
in all coming time. Throughoutthe whole
session, be never opposed except on princi-
ple-neverfrom factious motives. lie never

pulses and for objects of public good. And
the Constitution was his polar star always.
The public rights and interests were dearer
to him than all 9th or nsiderations. Though
often placed in circumstances calculated to
rouse the passions, his calnness and dignity
were as conspicuous as his courage and firm
ness. We have long admired Mr.. POWELL
as one of the best of our cititiz ems in public
or private life; but his services in the Senate,
have elevated him more and more in our
opinion. He has served his country ably
and honestly and faithfully and be will live
in the grateful affections of his countrymen.
Without ostentation or the-least pretension,
he is truly great and good man. Children
will rise up and call him blessed and future
generations will revere his memory. He has
firmly stood in his lot" like hero, AID
rendered services to his country and to man
kind, for which the just will not suffer his
name to die.

GFThe "Union Democracy" of Mason
held meeting, at the Court House, on Mon
day last, and were addressed, as we are in
formed, by Messrs. W. II. Wadsworth and
II. Taylor. We were not present, and not
having the satisfaction to find the slightest
notice of the meeting in the Eagle Of Tues
day, we cannot of course give any authentic
report of the proceedings. Had they been
furnished us by the Secretary, we should
cheerfully have published them in the
Bulletin. We have heard on the streets,
but of course cannot vouch the correctness
of the report, that Mr.. Wadswortb, while
severely condemuiDg the unconstitutiona
acts and objects of the President, neverthe-
less insisted on prosecuting the war under
his direction, until a new election shall give
us President fit for his Office. We under
stand, also, that Mr.. Taylor was for con-
tinuing the war; and that he apologised to
his constituents for having voted to grant
the use of the Hall of the House of Repre-
sentatives to the Democratic State ConVen-
ton; and we are told that his apology was
acceptable to his hearers Of all parties.

The nCriaiayI .ndobbed.

One day last week, gang of lawless
rufians, dressed in military uniform. Quilted
the Office of Gov. Medary, the editor of';The
Crisis" Democratic weekly newspaper
published at Oolum bus Ohio. What the
pretext for 1t was, we have not seen stated.
There could of course be no Justification for
such a lawless act. If Medary had been
guilty of any violation of law, it was for the
civil authorities 10 deal with him by process
of law. Ohio is loyal State-the Courts are
unobstructed-C Columbus, the scene of this
outrage, is the seat of the State government
the Governor, Judiciary and Legislature
were all at hand; and yet this outrage was
perpetrated under their very noses. But
why should we, here in Kentucky, offer any
words condemnatory of this act? Did not
the Governor, Legislature, and Judges of
our own State sit by..as passive,if not melting,
spectators OF an equal outrage lately in
Frankfort? But as Chroniclers we may be

. OFFICERS TO BE HAD FOR AN AFRICAN
ARMYg--The Washington correspondent of
the New York Tribune says that Sit is the
positive opinion of Senators, who Judge from
the great, number of written applications
made to themselves, that an African army,
100000 strong, could be a6icefed Nth aohite
men on a Jortnight's notice. We DO not doubt
it. There has never been the slightest diff
fculty in getting any number of officers for
any service. Unless we are emisnformed.
We have inthe army now twice as m any Of
ficers as are required, upon the usual basis,
by the number of men under. their COM
mands. The high pay, the com parative
comfort, and the general attractions OF the
position, combine to make it perfectly easy
to get officers in any quantity. The real
question to be answered is, can we get the
men? Where can we recruit an african ar
my 100000 strong?' We must wait to Sc
whatiprogress is made in this effort before
we can pronounce a conclusive Judgment as
to its wisdom.-New York Times.
