Cause Of Defeat In Rev York.

The Democracy in the State of New York,
were beaten by the unWise and unpatriotie
course Of the New York News aud few OF
the extremists among the Democratic lead
ers who shared the ianaticism Of its editor.
We say tanaticism-for we have no where
seen ianaticism better exemplifed than in
the case of the editor of the News. Because
he could not get all the good that be desired
he threw away the good that was attainable,
and surrendered the Empire State to Black
Republican rule. Between his journal, and
the Despotism at Washington which hates a
free press there is no longer any power to
lnterpOse for protection, and he will likely
atone for his folly at the expense of the sup
preston OF his paper. Should this proba-
bilty oe realized, he at least will have no
cause of compliant Dayton Empire.
We cordially indorse the above article from
the Dayton Empire, which is published at
the home of Mr.. Nallandigham. We have
been = constant reader of the New York
News, during the late Presidential cam
paign, and We must say that its course was
to disorganize the Democratic party, and
benefit the AbolitionistS While protesting
intense hostility TO the Administration, il
was indirectly laboring for the reelection of
Linccn. We have men all over the coun-
try who pursued course precisely similar
to Ben. Wood. While pretending to be
bitterly opposed to the AholitioniSts and the
whole policy of the administration, they did
more towards the election of Nr. Lincoln
than his most actiye political friends posi-
bly, could do.-M Vernon Banner.

TUE important fact remains demonstrated
that we have more men now than we had
when the war began--that we are not ex-
hausted, nor in process of xhauston--that
We are gaining strength, and may, if need
be, maintain the contest indefinitely. -Lin-
colo's Message.
If we have more men than we had when
the war began, why is it that labor is so
high and so difficult to get? Never in the
public remembrance was there such adearth
Of hands. The truth is, we have not any
thing ike tile number Of able bodied men
that we had when the war legun, and any
presumption TO the contrary effect is the
rrost egregious folly. IF we can maintain
the contest indefinitely, why have the bonds
Of the Government gone down from par in
specie to Fifty cents below par?-- Gin Eng.

A Foul Deed.

A living chilli was found on Saturday
night lass, about clock, in privy in Ca
nal Dover. 1t had evidently been just de-
posted there, as the inhuman mother or
some other person was seen leaving the
premises. Its piteous cries were distinctly
heard for the first time in this most fou
and unnatural" place, and
son its cheek the tear that nature bid it
weep"
was almost frozen to an icicle. By the aid
of some humane individuals the child was
rescued from this horrible place and will be
properly cared for. 1t is to be hoped the
perpetrator Of this outrage upon decency and
humanity may yet be discovered and receive
condign punishment. ---Nsso PHI Dem,

Banquet TO the Presidential
Electors.

The oas who want to get ia-or, in other
words, the Abolitionists of this city, who are
trying to secure the Offices now held by some
Of the brethren of that persuasion-and the
men who are after shoddy contracts gave a
Banquet to the Presidential Electors and
a number of invited guests, last night, in
Ambos Hall, which was. we are told, large
ly attended. A big amount of money was
expended in getting up this entertainment
By the Office e-seekcrs and contract hunters,
while many widows and orphans Of dead sol
dicrs are this morning in Columbus shiver-
ing and freezing for want Of clothes and fire
to keep them warm, and starving for want
OF food. For two days past we have motto
ed in this city, begging for money the wife
Of man who lost an arm while firing a can
non in Mt. Vernon at jolli6cation over the
election of Lincoln and Delano. Some of
the Loyal gentlemen who contributed to
get up this Banquet have turned this poor
woman away empty handed, as we are advis-
ed, and without even so much as speaking
to her work of encouragement.
The Banquet will he heralded by the
loyal press as big thing while the
widows and orphans of dead soldiers and the
wife Of the one-armed victim of Delano
jubilee, will receive neither notice, sympa-
thy, nor cash, from the men who are just
now after Offices and contracts - Ohto

The Case Generally.

The Ash'abu'a Sentinel says that in con-
sequence Of the shortness of the notice and
the unfavorable condition of the weather.
very little was done in that county in re-
sponse to the Governors Proclamation calf
ing upon the people to make jubilee for
the Soldiers Families on the Saturday fol-
lowing Thanksgiving day From one cause
and another, very little was done in any of
the counties for that purpose One year
ago people responded more promptly to
such calls than they do now. The fact is,
the war is beginning to weigh heavily upon
the people; but this is no reason why Sol
diers Families, and the poor generally,
should be allowed to go uncared for now

Opposed TO the Union.

President Lincoln, in his late annual mes
sage, says:
Judging by the recent canvass and its
result, the purpose of the people within the
loyal States to maintain the integrity of the
Union, was never more firm nor more unani-
nous than now. The extraordinary calm.
ness and good order with which the millions
of voters met,and mingled at the polls, gave
strong assurance of this. Not only all those
who supported the Union ticket, so called,
but a great majority Of the opposing party
may be fairly claimed to entertain and to be
actuated by the same purpose.
After this testimony from the head of the
Republican party and its elected Chief, we
have a right to expect that its orators and
journals will cease to accuse the Democracy
Of being opposed to the Union. No far
and sensible man ever did believe word of
it. The calumny has served its purposes
for the election. Now let it rest.

Taxation and Revenue.

The Washington correspondent of the N.
Y E;cpress, says:
THE PUBLIC LANDS. A great effort will
be made this Sc sion of Congress to grasp
more Of the public lands in the new States
and Territories for railroads, wagon roads,
horse and mule roads, and for all sorts of
things as we'll as of roads. The whole pub
lie domain is now deemed open for plumber.
THE TREASURY REPORT AND FINANCES.
The Treasury Report, it is said, will get
only $S4 900, 600 from internal taxes, from
June 80, 1868, to June 80, 1864, while un-
der the new tax law the revenue will not
have been much over $500,000 a day,
at most 100000, instead of u million,
as expected. Expenses daily over three
millions. 4F
High taxes often decrease, not increase,
revenue, is a lesson yet to be learned by the
Administration. The foreign import duties,
especially upon liquors, have creased the
revenue theIefro.n. The greatest effort
will be made to increase the duty on Whis-
KY, but the better opinion now is that as to
revenue measure, more money will be got
from the tax az it is, than if it were higher.

Enrolment and Communication
I'm Ohio, ,...

The National enrolment officers for the
State of Ohio returned 100000 males he
tween the ages of twenty and forty five, sub
ject to military duty. Tho returns of the
Assessors of the State under the militia law
show male population between eighteen
and forty-6ve of only $50, 000-making
ditfernce of 10000 men Either the Ma
tional return or is too high, or the State too
low. The State journal says there can be
no doubt but the national enrolment is
somewhat in excess of the what it should be
and that representations are now being made
to the Washington authorities, which, it is
believed will result in a material reduction
Of the above fgures-how much cannot be
said, but perhaps 10000 The journal also
thinks that probably not less than 10000
males between eighteen and.iorty-fve, were
not enumerated at all last spring by the As
SCISSORS. The State Communication fund has
thus been deprived of heavy revenue, at
the rate of four dollars per man. CIereland

Am Admission Too Late 10 be En-

The New York 7r,b,me of November %,
in an article upon the Presidential election,
says: ~

decisive triumph ever achieved in stub
bornly contested Presidential election. as
sumed the name Of Union in no proscrp-

area of the republic. Those Americans who
opposed the vindication by arms Of the in

A stupendousS Scheme-o0nfede
ate Cotton 10 Pass through the
BlOckRde-Wn3 the JObbsFs
are.
From tho st. Louis Republican.
Significant hints have been thrown out In
recent dispatches, to the effect that propo-
sitions have been made and are pending be-
tween the Union and rebel authorities TO
buy clothing in the north for rebel prison
ers in our hands, which is to be paid for by
cargoes Of cotton, allowed to be run through
the Wilmington blockade. We have reason
to believe that all the preliminaries have been
settled, even to the concurrence of the Pres
ident and of General Grant. 1t is big
thing" but the misfortune of it all is, that
it is nothing more than a private specula-
ton, in which twenty odd millions Of dollars
at the least are involved.
As the story goes L. D. Morgan, of New
York, Senator in Congress, Henry J.
Raymond, of the New York Times, and
Chairman Of the Republican National Con-
vention, to re-elect Mr.. Lincoln President;
Thurlow Weed, wEo was opposed to, and
only gave reluctant assent to the reelection
of Mr.. Lincoln, and fourth party, who was
the negotiator, and had carte blanche to
pass to and from Richmond, are to be bene-
ticiaries Of this arrangement. They agree
to supply all the clothing, blankets and 9th
er necessaries for the rebel prisoners in the
United States, and in return are to receive
in their own right the full amount in cotton
at a stipulated price, but far below the actual
value in New York or England, and they of
course pocket the difference. 1t is, as we
have said, ''hig thing for them, and very
possibly good thing for the rebel prisoners
in the Union; but why did not our authori-
ties make the arrangement for their own ac-
count, and thereby relieve the people to the
extent of a few millions of dollars, now to
be paid to individuals?

to the practice which has already become al
most universal among army officers, with re-
ference to the wearing of badges Indicative

shoulder-straps, and the prescribed insignia
of rank on their horse equipments. The
marks of rank to be worn on the shoulder

A Curious Oversight,

The Washington correspondent of the
Gazette says:
'The singular omission in the President S
Message to say any thing of our relations
with Great Britain and France, while dwell
ing on those with minor powers, excites com
ment and is by some supposed to have a
connection of some sort with the sudden de-.
parture of Lord Lyons, but there is no rea-
son so regard it as more than q curious
oversight"
Great Britain and France have been so
quiet about our affairs for the last year, that
it was not remarkable the President had for
gotten their existence.

Of the following dispatch, which we find in

C!NCINNATI, Dec. Last evening a
fashionable party was given by Hon. Geo
H. Pendleton at his house. Between 500
ann GOO guests were in attendance, Of all
parties, including Gen Hooker and Mr..
Chase
From the fact Of such acknowledged
Union men as either Gen. Hooker and cx-
Secretary Chase being at Mr. Pendleton s
party, we conclude that etiquette makes a
distinction between what people say and
what they think, or that person may be
exceedingly dangerous as an enemy of the
country, and yet be marvellous proper
man with whom to indulge in cordial social
intercourse There has been some suggcs-
ton made that loyalists and disloyalists can
not live together but Fighting joe and
odd Greenbaeks are eyiden!y unbelieyers
in this doctrine of isolation.

such signs of pacific relations between men
Of different political parties. They do good
by toning down partisan harshness, which
too ofen runs into personal bitterness. Their
example is good, too, for mutual amenities
teach that there are others in the world be-
sides ourselves, and that all the respectable

Unexhaustable Resources.

Our material resources are now more
complete and abundant than ever The ma

and we believe unexhaustable.
Therein is contained the theory upon which
Mr.. Lincoln is conducting the war He be-
lieyes our national resources to be ''unec-

clothed with the attribute of omnipotence.
