How The Thing Is TO he Done.

We stated day or to ago, as a warning
to our Democrats, our belief that LINCOLN
& Co. would prorokc Outbreaks among the
people, that they might be used as protcxts
for employing military power, to intimidate
voters, and thereby secure the election of
the Baltimore nominees We find in the
last dispatch of the Washington corrcspon-
dent of the New York Herald, the follow
ing
"A prominent gentleman from your State,
converscing this morning with parsonage
ofvery cxaulted official station, expressed
his apprehensions that any attempt to en-
force the draft in New York city would be
followed by riot of the most formidable
and Obstructive character-a riot to which
that of July, 1868 would be mere child 5
play. Hal ha! responded the official
rubbing his lean hands togcather and smil-
ing as if the idea pleased him, let them only
try it, sir, and see how it will work. Why,
sir, a riot that would lay New York city in
ashes would elect the Republican ticket so
easy that no other party would know it had
a candidate running. What can this mean?
Is an anti-dratt riot to be provoked for the
sole purpose Of continuing in Office the pre-
sent incapable Chief Magistrate? Wedo not
credit that any plan so dibolical can be in
contemplation.
The Administration will, in our opinion,
stop at no act, however dibolcal, to carry
the November election. The people, there
fore, that hope, by the old American mode
Of redrcssing grievances, viz: through the
ballot-boxs, to produce a change in the
Administration, should be on their guard
against being provoked into an outbreak, by
any thing Lincoln & Co. may do previous to
the election. The only salvation of the
country is a change ofrulers: and the chance
now afforded Of making that change, in a
legal way, should not be imperiled by vio-
lent action on the part Of the people. You
have suffered solong, suffer a little while
f longer. Be patient, enduring for better
day will soon dawn Cincinnati Enquirer.

Sensible Nations,

Denmark and Germany, with their nine
months almistice, and pretty sure pros,
pect Of peace at the end of It. Sensible ru-
lers Sagacious people are they on both
sides, with no savage threats of extermna-
ton, AM no ridiculous braggradocio about
the last dollar and the last man." The
smile of Heaven will surely reward such an
exhibition Of mutual good sense and for
boarance, and bring out of their counsel,
an honorable and lasting peace.

The Press and its Privileges.

An attempt on the part of the Admins
tration to arbitrarily suppress the Demo
cratic press of Ohio, in ordca to promote
the election of Abraham Lincoln by forci-
bly, crushing out all opposition, will be re-
gardcd by the people as a declaration ofwar
against themselves, and they will be pre-
pared to meet it with that understanding.
Abe Lincoln has one more war than he can
manage now on his hands, and unless the
gifts of reason and common sense have en-
tirey deserted him he will not inaugerate
another against his own subjects, at the in
stigation of crew of political inicrnals who
would rejoice to see the North desolated and
its people destroyed. The people of the
North-the great masses whose blood has
been lavished to prosecute the war and whose
sweat for generations to come will be
absorbed to pay the debt entaied by it
are in no temper to be trihed with upon
matters of such vital Importance. In this
matter the distinctions of party are forgot
ten-the sentiment prevades the people,
and the administration must be blind indeed
if it has failed to perceive it.
Some underling at Washington -
some scullon in the Ki tchen Cabinet,
has telegraphed to an unknown paper in
Ohio, that if Cor. Brough concurs with
the eminent legal authorities Of the Gov
ernment," number Of Democratic papers
in Ohio will be suppressed Governor
Brough's S concurrence is all that is requisite,
isit? If, as this Washington scullion init
mates, the press of Ohio derives its right to
live and speak, and have its being only by
the consent or concurrence Of John Brough
then the sooner every paper in the State il
suppressed the better it will be, for its fur
thcr existence will be lingeringly supertluou
upon the stage. If newspapers are only
! suffered to exist by leave of Gov. Brough
they have ceased TO be newspapers; they nj
| longer subserye the purpose of their .exis
tence; they are no longer what they claim t
5 be, the exponents of popular sentiments tn
: palladium of civil rights. But the ide
enunciated by this Washington underling

E0ualiZed.

The so-callcd loyal States have pop
ulation probably exceeding nearly three tc
one that which has declared for the South
ern Coniedcracy. Yet, us the war has to be
carried on at so great distance from the
North, the advantage in population is en-
tircly neutralized. In the South the Con
federates arc quite able to meet us with as
many men as we can transport and maintain
there There is no great disproportion,
therefore, in the strength Of the parties -
Time and distance fight for the South, and
they arc equal to the advantages we derive
from superior numbers.

Old Father Abraham is rapidly reaching
his true level in the political system. His
cause appears to be caving in, like a rotten
pumpkin, on all sides at the same time. The
telegraph informs us that paper from IL.
Winter Davis, lately an ardent supporter
of the Administration, is being circulated,
in which he comes out against the smutty
Joker with all the vim and vigor for which
Davis is noted. Davis is in favor of another
convention to nominate candidate repre-
senting Republicanism as he understands it:
This letter. coming upon the heels OF old
Ben Wade's acid-likeprotest, will doubtless
bring old Abe to realizationof the deSper,,
ate condition of his political fortunes, and
influence him to favor still more the reckless,
arbitrary and tyrannical measures which
have long ago alienated the people, and are
now dividing his own party. All that II
necessary to cxtinguish him is the nomina
ton of a good man by the Chicago Conven
ton. The shoddy Administration will thel
, disappear in a series of beautiful dissolvine
views. Peace and the Union will be restor

of happiness and prosperity, Statesman
