from New York that movement Il an

movement is mentioned the name of Hon.
Amasa j. Parker, recently commissions
by Governor Seymour to represent the
State Of New York in the natter Of the dis-
regard of her statute laws by military
tribunal in Washington. Judge Parker 8
one of the ablest and best men, n wen q
one Of the best Democrats, in the nation.
This movement is OF the right kind, and
we shall rejoiceto see it carried out with
success. The true Democratic policy 10 ito
prosecution of the war against all enemies
in arms against the nation, with all the VI.
or and all the means which the Govern.
ment can command, until the rebels ahall
lay down their arms and yield obedience

is the doctrine the Post has always advo
Gated and will continue to advocate. Had
some OF the critics OF the Post, who call
themselves Democrats, been in favor Of
prosecuting the war against rebels with
One-half the vigor with which in secret o..
CARNATIONS they have assisted it, the result
of the recent election would have been vegy

would now probably be engaged in vii.

marches to Camp Douglas.
We trust the movement in New York

warlike utterances he bad listened to-
His reflections took the form of debate, IN
which he argued the questions OF the day
with an imaginary Abolition opponent
and at las. be came in fancy to the point 50
often imagined by rampant politicians Of
his school, where force should take the
place Of logic, and villainous saltpeteR
lsurp the throne Of argument. Then
drawing his murderous revolver, he shout.

fancy, to the assault. With an s.Hurrah
