At il Again.

The mischievous demagogue who disgraces
the position of Chief Magistrate of the En-
pire State is again engaged in an endeavor to
delay the raising of troops in that State, ano
to persuade the populace of the metropolitan
city that the Government has manifested IA
soritism in assigning quotas, by requiring
of them much larger proportion OF men
than is demanded of Massachusetts,.
The suggestion is greedily caught at by the
rebel sympathizing organs throughout the
country, and especially by the organs OF the
secret reasonable organization of which VAL
LANDIGHAM is the head. These are always
ready to seize upon the smallest and falsest OF
pretexts, if they may hope thereby to excite
jealousy and prejudice against the New Eng
land States.
The mode by which Gov. SEYMOUR goes to
work to accomplish his purpose is to assume
that the census is adopted as the basis on
which the draft is made. He says that New
York is called on to furnish an average of
! 2,SS1 from each congressional district, while
| from Massachusetts, only an average of 2,167
| from each district. Gov SEYMOUR is or
| course well aware that the census is rot the
| basis adopted by the Government in calling
for soldiers. Districts are called upon to fur
| nish men not in proportion to the number of
! women and children, or infrm old men they
| contain, but in proportion to the number OF
those subject TO draft, men between the ages
of 20 and 45.
Every intelligent person is aware that the
| proportion of young men is less in the New
| England States than in any other part of the
! Union. A very large per cent of this class
enigrate. The Northwest is filed with them.
They constitute a considerable pc. ton of the
population of New York city. The state of
New York it is true, has sent west large
number of her young men, but not in the
proportion that New England has DONE
Moreover the drain upon the population of
New York has been largely compensated by
the accession of foreign population.
The cities of New York and BrooklyR at
tract thousands of enterprising young men
from other states. The operatives in the
manufactures of New England Oh the contra
~, are largely composed of women.
There are facts that fully explain any APP
parent discrepancy between the quotas of
New York and New England They are per
fectly familiar to Gov. SEYMOUR He knows
that the census is not and ought not to be
the basis upon which soldiers are called
| Otherwise it might happen that sub-districts
would sometimes be called on for more men
than the entire number of able-bodied men
in their limits. 1t is not justice that Gov.
SEYMOUR wants. On the contrary, like the
criminal, that is what he is afraid of. TO
serve base political purpose, to embarrass
the Government, to excite the mob passions
of his metropolitan friends" and to delay
reinforcements for the army are the objects
of all his higgling and huckstering with the
national authorities.

THE PROGRAMME OF THE PEACE FACTION
of the peace faction Success at the election
is first of all important. There is no hope of
this except by union of all the elements of
opposition to the Administration. Therefore
it will not do to pay any regard to principles
The peace men must not be squeamish. They
must unite with the War Democrats opposed
to Mr.. LINCOLN. Then if Mr. LINCOLN is de-
feated, the peace faction viii be in the ma
jority in the party, can give the war men the
cold shoulder, and have things their own way
The NelcS says;
"In leaguing with the War Democracy
they do not volunteer for prosecution of
the war; their mission in the campaign is to
defeat Black Republicanism, and on that point
they accord with the War Democracy. When
Black Republicanism shall have vanished be-
fore the United strength of the Peace and
War Democrats than acW come tie hoen- TO con-
troll tie Var Democracy and giUe them battle
opon tie direct issue. 1t is the duty of the
peace party to exert themselves as strenuous
" as if one sentiment animated themselves
and their cOadjutors. A victory over Black
Republcanism is the first step towards tri-
umph OF the peace sentiment we must
attempt that step, ho1ceyeI' distaStet.d mag be
tie companionShip of those onho lack oar Sy,,apa-
thy on the question. We do not yield our
advocacy of peace, but simply hold that issue
in reserve"
This is cheerful prospect for the Wa
Democrats They are to be used for vile pur-
poses until after election, and then kicked
overheard, if with their aid the peace fac
ton can succeed in getting possession of
power.

The President and the " Reconstruction" Bill

HENRY WINTER DAVIS, of Maryland, and
WADE, of Ohio, have recently joined in the
publication of a violent attack upon the
President for his action in regard TO the So
called reconstruction bill.
In another column we copy very clear
and suecinct statement of the points at issue
between the President and Messrs DAVIS and
WADE, which we hope will be read by all who
desire TO understand the merits of the con-
troversy.
1t will be seen that in this matter, as hith-
erto, the President stands arrayed against the
extremes of all parties earnestly seeking to
do his duty to the country, to maintain the
constitution, and TO promote the public veal.
So far from destroying or impairing the conf
dence of the masses of the people in the
purity of his motives and the soundness of
his Judgment, it will be increased as the mer-
its of the controversy in question are under
stood

WORKS WELL.--Retaliation has had the eff
feet of inducing the rebels to abandon their
barbarous game of placing captured Union
officers under the fire of our own guns in
Charleston. Our authorities, it will be re
membered, retaliated by placing under the
fire of the rebel guns in Charleston harbor
the same number of captured rebel officers
as they had placed under our fire. We now
learn that this has resulted in effecting an ex-
change of the officers in question on both
sides. Our officers were received with due
hOnors on board Admiral DAHLGRENs feet,
and have been sent North. Among those
released We are glad to learn is Col. C. II.

No G0.-Some soreheaded Union men are
still trying to have some one else put On the
course as the Union nominee than President
LINCOLN. A circular was issued from Middle
ton, Ohio, calling 4 State Convention at
Hamilton to consider the propriety of recon-
mending the withdrawal of ABRAHAM LIN
coin and JOHN G. FREMONT as candidates for
the Presidency and the holding of new
Convention at Buffalo On the 22d of Septem-
Der, to nominate new candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President The New York
Herald in elaborate articles, went in strong
for this new deal. The movement, however,
has come to naught, the dispatches stating
that the Ohio meeting voted down the pyopo-
sitions which it was called to consider The
fact is, the Union people of the country are
fully persuaded that it is best to keep Presi-
dent LINCOLN in his present position and all
efforts to change their minds now are useless
Mr.. GREELEY, in article in the Tribune
OF the 9th inst, fully confirms what we stated
the other day. that the President offered to
receive accredited commissioners from the
rebel authorities, bearing propositions of
peace, without reference to the nature of the
propositions in question. He says the Ples-
dent consented to receive " uhate1er PROPOSE
ton agents duly accredited from Rict4o,,d might
see fit TO offer, and 1 went to Niagara fully
authorized to proffer safe conduct and ac-
company to Washington the persons speci-
fed, on tie understanding that they 'cere e7po'0-
cred TO submit, end aooald submit, terms Of aei-
Jtcation J; and there were no conditions beyond
these"
And the Copperheads keep up olamor
over the false and unfounded pretext that
the President has refused to receive PROPOSE
tons for peace.
