- Many Coppcrheads in speaking of the
reelection of Mr.. Lincoln, shudder 10 the
bottom of their boots in depicting the horrors
Of four more years of war; They well
know-at least the more intelligent Of them
do--,lat the reelection of the Baltimore
nominees is the death. blow TO rebellion and
the war would soon be at OH en- end. But
how will the matter stand should Mcclellan
be- elected : Mcclellan is either war man or
nc ace man: if the former, he is compelled to
beat some kind Of terms out Of the rebels,
which is precisely what this Administration is
trying to do, and which the rebel, have de-
clarcd, time and again, through their PROM
incnt men, through their press and on every
occasion, cannot be done except by rccog
milton of their independence and with it the
right Of States at any time to secede and at
tach themselves to any government, or form
confederacies of their own. If, therefore, he
is for wa, until "thc Union as it was" is re-
stored, we will have war, and much OF it.
to try the temper of his steel as has been
done in tho three and half years of war al
ready gone. The rebellion leaders are not for
the "Union as it was.' no matter how much
breath Coppcrheads may waste in trying to
deceive tho people by this spccious plea. If
he is for peace, secession and Southern Con-
fedcracy, in the event of his election, would
become part of our national history for can
we presume that better terms would he grant
cd by the rebel commissioners when met with
a white feather than with naked sword
"This movement" said the traitor Rhctt, is
not of recent origin; it was planned twenty
years ago, and to this day have wo cherished
the idea Of Southern Confederacy." The
firing upon Sumter was commenced after
twenty years Of calm reflection. They
rejected proposals for compromise, although
the humiliating spectacle was witncssrdof a
mighty nation upon it's Bonded knees offering
the olive branch to rcbellion-to TREASON
They have never yet received an intimation
of restoration of the Union, as 1t ,cas or
any other way, but with sncers OF scorn.
But now they are clingins with deatl'-grip
to their last hope. They cannot stand four
more years of war, with such men as Grant,
Sheridan and Sherman to circumscribc their
bounds and dcmoralizo their ranks. They
know this and will succumb to what necessity
will render inevitable, sooner or later. If
McClclan's policy be that of war. the rebel
lion will concentrate its energies to check
mate him at all points as it did when he led
the peninsular campaign, and very probably
result in the end i'll the same hnmiliating de-
feat. But if he dons the robes of peace, it
will have but to mount q few Of tho wooden
guns which held him at bay Mt Manassas, to
secure an unconditional recognition of Jeffdom,
with all its horrors and barbarities.

found in late number of M,pv's JIeelly.

The Blessed Baby.-.yhat Punch
.s..- Says About It. -a ,s.s -

The London Punch has the following
's PRINCE BABY's CoURT CIRCULAR. The
great satisfaction which was given to the
mothers of England by the faithful nara
tons about Prince Baby which. were sup
piled during the recent tour of Prince
Babys Royal parents, and the delight
which was felt in reading, in subsequent
court circular, that he had been out for
an airing, has induced his friend and god
father, Mr.. Punch, to make arrangements
for the regular preparation of court cir
cular that shall be devoted only to Prince
Baby. The following is the chronicle Of
: the past week:
Sunday-H. r. H. very good indeed.
Slightly incensed after church at being in
terrupted in sucking the velvet on mann
mas prayer-book but instantly pacifed.
Grabbed at a wine-glass and threw it
down, but only laughed at the pieces, and
wanted another. d., :. ;.y,,.frl
Monday-H r. H. did not cry. during
the wholeday. Observing from the win
dow his royal parents going out for ride,
distinctly remarked Ia tar" innocently
unconscious that they were out of hearing.
Tuesday-H. r. HIS usual amiabi1ity
was disturbed by special petition, on the
part of his head nurse, that he would rut
the coral into bis mouth instead of Shem,
Ham and Japhet, whom he endeavoreG to
introduce there all at once. He was gra-
ciously pleased, however, to substitute the
elephants for the family of Noah ~ 2.
Wednesday, Fl. r. d. evinced great
desire to eat his toes. During a, ride in
the afternoon he distinctly pointed out q
horse, and made remark, which the head
nurse is inclined to believe was 's see, "but
which the second nurse considers to have
been "gee!" .A.5ra-a.9 .it o. .y
Thursday--H. Il. FL. very sleepy; but
the medical attendants did not think that
the symptoms were in the least alarming,
though his circumstances on being moved
certainly were. He was pleased to break
secres cup in the forenoon, and to laugh
very much at the crash. 3 -4 a..jefa
Friday-H. r. d. much displeased at 6
bib being inserted under his double chin
and he spat out his nutriment with mucl
vigor. Afterwards sudden clutch at his
royal mothers Dagmar brooch slightly
hurt his hand, but he was delighted wheI
the naughty brooch was, we'll whipped. 4
Saturday-H. R. q. in the highest spir
its, and kicking vehemently. An attemp
to swallow his red sock: was happily frus
trated, and his royal fathers watch wen
into his mouth instead. He enjoyed BIZ
evening bath exceedingly, and utterly re
fused to allow himself to be removed from
the water. At length an Angelo kittel
effected a diversion, and 81. r. 81. con

taxpayer may be required tomake returns
oftener than once month. = s'r.

portion of the revenue law are suggested
or recommended, and numerous instances
pointed out wherein the law is at variance
with itself. .ssauoov

the salaries of some or all tie employees

best clerks had recently resigned because
Of the inadequacy of the pay. The sala-

p. II. PAYMENT OF THE DEBT. 3. hst..
The Commissioners closes with state
ment showing that if the war were to end
leaving us debt of four thousand millions
Of dollars, and an annual expenditure Of
fifty per cent. more than in, the year pre-
ceding the war, our present revenue law
would yield enough to pay the current ex-
penses of the nation, including the six per
cent. interest on our debt, and leave sur
plus which would extinguish. the debt in
ninety years, even with our present pro-
duction and population and in halfof that
time at our present prospective increase Of
production and population. This rate OF
taxation is cheertully borne by a patriotic
people during the great struggle for the
nations life; but on every reasonable
theory Of the future it is far beyond all
probable needs, and may with safety be
considerably reduced when the war is
ended, if that end be soon.

Change of Base.


Several weeks ago it would have been con.
sidered disloya to intimate that Gen. Grant
would be compelled to change his base Of
supplies in his ION to Richmond" movement:
but ~ that event has now become matter
of history,it is matter for discussion. Gen.
Grant commenced his campaign by estat-
fishing great depot of supplies at Culpep-
per Court House. on the Orange and Alex.
sndria Railroad. After the battle Of the
Wilderness. that line was suddenly abandon,
ed. and the route by way of Frederick sburC
and Arqria Creek adopted. when there were
no facilities on the latter for the speedy
transmission of supplies, reinfor"emrnts, or
III carrying away If wounded In fact, argp
numbers If wounded men walked from the
battle field to the mouth of Acquia Greek,
and built RATS Nv which they could place
themselves on the Mary land side of the Po.
tomac. This abandonment of the ulpep-
per route has not been explained, and is not
reconciahle with the news that reported
Grant As winning important victories.
And bv the dispatches of the past week
we see that another new base Of supplies has
been selected at West Point, on York river:
and as no ILLUSION is now made to the Fred
erickshurg route, it is influential that it has
also been abandoned. This latter change
naturally suggests The inquiry "Why did not

view to prevent the misfortune of his re-
election. In this contingency, | accept the

The split in the abolition party is an accom-

ter the fight between the factions. This is
one favorable augury in the porten,iou.
cloud that is enshrouding our country; and
we hope is a premontion that the reign OF
the sprismen is soon to pass away. 1t is an
event of cheering import to every democrat
and constitution loving man in the land, and
