parties are prevented from supporting the
authorities or accepting Office by threats of
violence and by business and social ostra-
cism. These leaders are determined that
the reconstruction acts shall not succeed
They don't want the Republicans to succeed
in pacifying the country. 1t would be dou-
BILE death to them. They were the men re-
ally defeated in the war They brought it
on. They failed in their schemes then, and
they are now doubly sore headed doubly
desperate They are satisfied with nothing.
They grumble at everything They deceive
the masses, just as they deceived them in
1S6061. They call it "peaceable revolutions
and they term themselves Conservative
Democrats" But they are more intent on
mischief than ever. Their only hope is a
counter revolution. They mag gain by it.
Even bad wind may blow them good.
Whether the masses wish it or not, put these
leaders in power and the peace of the coun-
try must be endangered. They might be
satisfied with power. But the elements of
discord, once at work, would never rest. A
conflict must ensue Any trifie might bring
it on. A single gun at Sumter summoned
a continent to arms, and peaceful, prosper
Gus and happy millions were hurried to the
harvest of death.
The election of Seymour and Blair does
not mean change of rulers. 1t means a
reaction: counter revolution. What was
ever gained by counter revolutions2 They
only intensity passion, increase crime and
sharpen the thirst for blood and further rev.

subject of Prussia, with whose ward, =
young girl, the American Consul sought to
elope, and why, after her guardian had been
thrown into prison to facilitate the scheme,

Council ofthat city, indorsing his political

that city:
| am profoundly thankful for this APP
prevail of the City Couacil of Baltimore of
my official conduct as Chief Executive of
this nation. This manifestation Of conf
dence from the citizens of Baltimore is at
Ihis time peculiarly acceptable and graft
flying. Our country is now in the midst of
grave perils, and our free institutions are
more endangered now than during the re-
bellion, when our armies were struggling
for the republic in the field. In this crit
ical condition of public affairs, it behooves
every citizen who feels an interest
in the preservation of constitutional liberty
to consider that ours is government of
law, and to require Of our legislators
that, when great measure is proposed,
the first inquiry shall be, does it conform
W bhC NOhotituNlOu hIliu ltltN nave SOL
EMMY sworn to support? 1t would be one
Of the greatest victories the republic ever
gained to be carried back within the pale
of the constitution. We should demand
that all legislation should be strictly con-
trolled by the organic law. The idea that
the constitution ne longer exists, or that,
although existing, the laws must be made
outside its provisions, must ultimately
lead to despotism and tyranny. If the
iudicial and executive branchea are to be
broken down, and the government resolved
into and placed under the con-
troll Of the Legislative department !;
if the rights, interests and destinies
of this great country are to I've transferred
to the hands of a few whose will is to be
the measure of their power Our republic
can institution will soon yield to the most
absolute despotism ever witnessed by the
world. The struggle which / have been
compelled to engage has been for my own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT my sole aim has been to
bring back the government to the plain
principles of the constitution, and if | could
accomplish that object, the measure of my
ambition would be filled to overlooking.
That great end achieved, it would be the
highest pleasure of my life. Making my
reverence to the people, and giving nay
thanks to heaven, yield my. aspirations
to others. l repeat that the encourage
ment given me on this occasion il very ac-
ceptable. The stoutest heart, when sur
rounded by doubts and menaced by perils,
needs eountenance and support. The kind
expressions of approval of the City Coun-
ell of Baltimore, sincerely appreciated,
will be remembered with gratitude as long
as life shall last.

emigrants from all nations, and invested
them with the rights of citizenship; and
whereas, it is claimed that all such Ameri-

SEVERAL of the Democratic papers of
Ohio in the interest of Mr. Yallandigham
have entered upon crusade against the
New York World and its chief editor
and proprietor, Manton Marble, because
Of its severe criticism upon the recent
course of that gentleman. While deplo-
ring the controversy, and feeling unwil-
ling under the circumstances TO take
sides, our comments few days ago
plainly showed that our sympathies could
not be with Mr. Vallandigham in his
sulky and factions course. His late let
ter and the tone of the few papers in
Ohio who act with him, will surely place
MIN at a discount with men who do not
intend to regard individuals as above the
success of the party in the coming cleo
ton 1t was the privilege of the World
to animadvert upon MIR Vallandigham ];
if he persists it will be the duty of the
Democratic press generally to follow snit
He has been true man. A personal
defeat should not make him otherwise
The Cincinnati Commercial (independ-
ent Republican, referring to the personal
assaults on Mr. Marble, makes the fol-
lowing comments, which, as we under
stand the facts, is correct, and in its esti-
mate of that gentleman and the World,
is just:
Mr.. Marble owns three-fourths of the
property of the New York World, and
aside from that, is in independent circum-
stances. He is an accomplished editor,
and, more than that, first rate Journalist.
His competitors in journalism in New
York concede to him great ability as a
writer and newspaper manager, and some
of them speak ia terms of admiration Of
his success in the organization of his edi-
torial corps. He has a very capable staff
of associates, and there is no doubt that he
has made the World the most brilliantly
edited and ably conducted Democratic
party newspaper that is or ever has been
in the United States. Those who know
him will not be likely TO infer from what
he says, or from his msn ner, or from his
writings, or from any thing that is belong
ing to him or about him, that he is want
ing in earnest convictions. If the testi-
mony of Republicans in New York, that
he is among their most formidable oppo-
nents, will be received IS evidence of the
soundness Of his Democracy, there will be
no difficulty in obtaining that.
