NEW YORK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1862

"CopstitutiOn has been violated, without
ivino = bill of particulars, you may be sure
that he is trying to humbug you, ana the pest
,cov il 70 ask him what part of the document
hos heen violated. and hold him down to chapter
ond verse Mr.. Walaces affection for the Con
stitntion didn't prevent him from schemlng a most
extraordinary and outrageous VIOLATION Oh It's
nrovisious by virtue of which he and his asso-
ciates undertook TO override the haturanza-
lion laws; nor was the gentleman very much
troubled when his Southern friends undertook
70 abolish the Constitution altogether ana
when he asks, "Why is the Union not res
"tored ." perhaps the best answer would De, 90
"far as it lacks anything OF restoration 1t s pe-
a. "cause Won and your friends at the North
"have wheedled portion of the South INTO .he
"belief that Seymour will be elected, and that
"tben will he their time for making better
"bargain.r And vet this Mr.. Wallace Is the
gentleman who has the impudence 10 say
"Direct your arguments to reason ana not 10
"the passions!" This isn't by any means tue
first doctor who would have done well to take
his own physic.
Whether or not it is the liyeinesS OF Ills
faith in his colfce-pots which leads him to IN
if he expects to give the vote of Pennsylvania
to Seymour by any of the lodges practced IN
1867, we fancy that this time he will not
find the little game quite so easy. Perhaps
however, we may undervalue MIR. WaiiaccS
talents in the department of manufacturing
naturalization papers and then sleeping them
in coffee to make their appearance correspond
with their date. However, as under his sug-
gestion and supenntendence dead people and
idiots voted, and some of them several times
at the same election, it is impossible to say how
many votes he might poll if he should take
il into his head to run for the Presidency
himself. AZ any rate he VIII be Vaiua-
bic man for the Democracy after they nave
taken their predestinate whipping under the
banner of Blair and Seymour ie can
get up majOrities to erder and take con-
tracts to carry States with sure confidence III
his talent for making American citizens out OF
the raw material in the twinkling of an eye.
Wherefore, we advise him not TO waste his
powers upon Others. but to run for the Presi-
dency next time himself And we have no
doubt that John Allen. " the Wickedest Man
in New-Yorl, ~ could be induced tc run for
Vice President OH tho same ticket and per-
laps go into Pennsylvania to boss Mr. Wal
lacc's next job. We believe that it was only
found necessary to commit one murder during
the last operation-that of poor lrishman,
who, having sold himself. didn't know enough
to hold his tongue. With capacity for poll
ing a perfectly unlimited vote, Mr.. Wallace
should run for something. And, with the
warning fate Of the poor victim of last year
before the public no more murders, probably,
will be necessary. Then there is the Voting
idiot, who we believe. is still living. Then
there are all the useful gentlemen with abilities
for voting in half a dozen precincts on the
same day Oh! Mr.. Wallace must certainly run
for the Presidency!
