It is fortunate circumstances thst under our
peeulisr form Of government an obnoxious law
can be rendered imperative or repealed by mere
force of public opinion without any resort to
violent and revolutionary remedies. When
either the Executive or Legislature commits 8
grave error, or takes sn unjOsti6Sble liberty
with the public temper, It manifssts itself in
such a stern, yet cain and imposing shape, as
70 lead at once to su abandonment OF the odi0us
preteusion. Nothing that has occurred during
cur ConfedeIate existence is likely to so illus
tIate and exemPliiy tbs sslutaTy feature of 0ur
scheme of government ss the probable fate Of
/ the act Of Congress suspending the writ Of
| hAbess corpus, which we print in our morning 8
! impression with the accompanying order of Gen.
| Cooper.
It must DO confessed that the language of the
i act and of the order Of the President is very
| guarded and indicates no purpose to use the law
/ eppressiVsly OF 10 en chsRslve manner. The
! whole tone of the preamble Of the act shows
that Congress was disposed to deal most deli
cstelY with the subject, and only passed the
legislation in obedience 70 what is recised to be
a ''pressiug public necessity But cautioJls as
both Congress and the President are in the use
they propose to make of the law, the great fact
which cannot be disguised, that the writ OF
hsbeas corpus is suspended, has produced q
! most painful impression on the public mind.
While it Is admitted that the writ has besn used
in the interest Of public offenders and in
j many cases has operated TO the disadvantage Of
the c9nserps service, yet, these evils strike the
popular intelligence as abuses, and mos 90 be
corrected by an abolition Of he great privilege
but by the wholesome operation OF q patriotic
public opinion. Better bear than, say the peo-
pie, than sweep away from the citizen hls eEiy
buiwark against the arbitrary persecution OF
unlicensed power.
Couereas and the President have committed
a ssrio9s mistake, do1bsless, with the best in
tensions, which must be set right By the force

The Raid in Kentucky.

The news from the interior of Kentucky
is of the most exciting character. 1t is GER
tain that Gen. Hobson and the greater pOr-
ton of his command, after Il severe fight on
Saturday, were captured Subsequently
Gen, Burbrdge with large force came up
with the rebels and defeated them, when, in
accordance with their tactics, they dispersed
in small squads In the engagement on
Saturday we suffered considerably, and or
dcrs were issued last night for the speedy
forwarding of ambulances to convey the
wounded to the city. The l7lst was, we
learn, the most severely handled, but in the
absence of reliable information we decline
rciterating the wild rumors that are ailoat.
1t is, however, certain that the engagement
previous to the surrender of Hobson vii
furnish II bloody record. Himself and the
captured of his command We're parolcd, anC
were expected to arrive in Coyington carly
this morning.
Intelligence has been received that form
idablc force of rebels made an attack upon
Frankfort, which was defended 10y Governor
Bramlctte, and party Of National troops
Reinlorccments were hurrying to his aid, an'
| it is hoped that they will arrive IN time tC
relieve him and preserve the records, anC
valuable documents, which will otherwise b.
consigned to the flames.

is at the head Of this raid. 1t is even re
ported by military men that he is not il

The Nominations.

The oai;e-holdcrs and contractors Con
vention at Baltimore re-nominated ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN for President and selected
ANDREW JoNsoN once Senator from Ten
. nessee for Vice President. llAMIN, the
present Vice President was uncercmoni-
ously thrown overheard. Weaker poorer,
and more discredtable nominations for high
= positions were never made in any country.
In every respect, personal as well MS pohti
cal, they are unfit for the Offices for whicl
they are named.
The election of Mr.. LINCOLN, for tn
FIRST term was sarcasm upon the capacit
of the people for selfgovernment, but
might be excused that they were deceiveC
and were ignorant of the character Of Il
man. If he should be reelected now, tn,
: apology would be taken away, and III
country, full Of statesmen, orators and schc
ars, would be placed in the attitude of pr
90. ferins to them, joking free and easy bu
foon, devoid alike of dignity and ability.
Those who are pleased with the state
the country, and desire the nation to go

ruin, will vote for the oflice-holders' C,

What are We Coming TO Z

IL has become useless for any one to at
tempt the task Of chronicling the constant
lyo occurring acts of the administration and
its adhcrcnts, showing their utter disregard
for everything lawful, holy or right; for ev-
erything, in fact, save their own selfish pur-
poses Citizens are arrested without war
rant, confined at will, aud discharged or re-
tanned without trial; State Constitutions
nre stricken out by stroke of the pen Of
the Chief executive; new States are cree
ted without the shadow of desire by its
people and in defiance Of the Constitution,
by an individual at the dictate of his own
will and for no other consideration; the free
dom of the press is sviolatcd daily; the con
stituton has become obsolete, and law is a
:. kham--a mockery.
To-, This is the political condition of this ma
ton, and to show how dcmoraized men
have become under the repetition of such
nets, we give an extract from late speech
:, eulogistic Of our American Negro eve
mean Mr.. LINCoLNl by Garrison
. "As to any fears thai judge rnncv will under.

.. Ipe gtolh'lltNS. why, II Judge Ihn"N, or the
whole body of the supreme Court, together

, over order and right, how long will it be be

MaG Douglas Lived.

"IIad Douglas livcd exclaims Lincoln
newspaper, ''hc would still stand where he
stood at the time of his death" At that
time he said that when the war should be
come a war for emancipation, he would fly
to the assistance Of the South. He said
that in one of the two last speeches he cvcl
made. Why do not the abolitionists rcsur
rect his remains and send them to For
| Ialayetto?

E.incOIn's Nomination.

The nomination of LINCOLN by the Bal
timoro Convention has utterly failed to ex-
cite enthusiasm. The othc-holders are
pleased with the result of the Convention ;
but the masses of the people look upon it
with disgust, The people have had Gu
ough of the Rail Splitter and Union Split
ter, His administration has cost them bill
lions of treasure and rivers of blood, and it
has caused national hope to depart from our
borders, and constitutional liberty to desert
our heritage. Is it to be wondered that the
people are disgusted when the sucklings of
his administration are striving to force lAN,
coLY upon the country for another iour
years

Fremont and Lincoln.

The aboltionists opposed to public plum
der, arbitrary arrests, the abridgement of
the liberty Of speech, violations of the Con-
stitution and disregard of the laws have
nominated JoHN c. Fremont for Presi-
dent. The shoddy contractors, army thieves,
Office holders and corruptionists have nom
mated LINCOLN. Each candidate is vigor-
ously supported by many friends. 1t is diff
ficult to at present determine which
wing of abolitionism will secure the most
support The fanatics who believe them.
selves right will support the "Wooley
Horse" while the office e-holders, contract
ors and thieves who wish to retain theil
fat pickings will go for the Rail and Uniol
Splitter. We hope their fight may resul
like that of the Kilkenny Cats.

Fridays Battle.

The "aflair" of Friday, june 3rd, in
Virginia, although not much spoken of in
Secretary Stanton's dispatches, and but
slightly alluded to in other Washington
! kilograms, seems, without doubt, to have
been very severe battle, in which we met
with heavy loss and final rcpuse. This
result is carefully concealed from the pub
lie, and we are merely informed that some
advances took place, which met with indie
cisive results.
1t now appears that Lee occupied posi-
ton on the north bank of the Chickahominy
and that our forces attempted to carry the
rebel works by assault. 1t was not a sim,
pie reconnaissance, or an attempt against
tons but an attack along the entire line. -
In only one or two eases did we gain any
advantages and even these were but tenn
porary, being soon after rcganed by the
enemy. In this attack we gained nothing
in position, and lost about 5000 men.
Such appears to be, in main, the facts in
relation to the fight of Friday-a day of
bloody loss, without compensating success
Why these facts have been concealed from
the public, we leave to the apologists Of Mr..
Stanton and Mr.. Lincoln to answer. 1t is
simply one Of thousand similar cases in
which the facts in relation to battles have
either been grossly misrcpresentcd or en-.
tirely concealed. 1t is evident that the
| Washington concern considers the peopl,
simply as n source of supply from which t,
draw men and money for the pursuance o
} partisan schemes, and not as the ones mos
interested in the fate Of tho conflict. The
are therefore simply asked for occasiona
loans Of n few millions, and frequent draft
of hundreds Of thousands of men; and as t.
the result Of these great events, or the par
ticulars of their occurrence they are eithe
told nothing, or occasionally given highl!
colorcd account with which to satisfy thci
very natural desire for information.
