to the government, declaring that the arrest or in generation of any citizen of New Jersey, without having proper charges preferred against him, and an opportunity for his defense, was against the laws of the State; that Mir.

There is now fine chance for those in
terested in stage enterprises to make a
profitable investment in the establishment
of stage line from Wallula via this city to
Auburn. WalIula being the nearest point
of navigation to the Powder river mines,
fixes it as the place where miners and trav-
elers en- route to that country who prefer
the more comfortable modes of travel and
conveyance, will come. The road now un-
der construction from this city to Auburn
is pronounced by those who have travelled
over the line, in every respect preferable
to that of any other travelled route, and it
may with certainty be expected to be so far
completed in time for the early spring trade
that there will be no impediments in the
way of staging over it. The known exist
ence of rich gold mines, both at Pow der
river and Boise and the consequent wide
spread excitement relative thereto, justifes
the belief that an immense travel will go



thither next season; and the advantages of
this road in its superiority over others and
It's nearness to navigation will renderlt the
great thOrOughfare over which this exten-
sive travel must pass. Even if there were
any other route that could vie with this in
securing the lower country travel-a prop
osition which is placed beyond peradven-
ture-the travel alone from this city, from
Wallula, and from the adjacent mining re-
gions would be a sufficient guarantee Of a.
profitable investment; but it only remains
for some person or company to announce
that they will put such line on in the
spring to secure all the travel thither

FoRE1GN INTERvENT1oN.- The latest
intelligence from Europe seems to indicate
that the people of both England and France
are settling down to the very reasonable
conclusion that intervention in American
affairs would only tend to prolong the war,
and that the better way for them to do in
the premises is to leave Americans to fight
their battles and settle their difficulties in
their own way.

The Government of the United States
looks to the result of this struggle with
the confidence that belongs to q good
cause and would turn the evil that is in.
evitable to ultimate good. The move
ment of nation towards reform, should
be slow to make it safe, hence the Prcsi-
dents recommendation of colonizing the
African race, when some system Of grad
ual emancipation is developed by the
events of the war. An act of immediate
general emancipation, throwing four mil-
lions of the colored caste loose on socie-
y, North and South, would leave. them
more enslavcd than they are now. With
out the intelligence power and means of
a master of the superior race, to support
them in the competition with that race in
the business Of life, they would PERISH
The North rejecting them, as it has done
in many ofthe states, and might do in the
others, the itr millions, let loose in the
South, would encounter war of castes

The COMING ELECrIoNs-THETR VAST MPoRr-
ANCE.-Since the foundation Of the republic
never have elections been held Of such immense
importance as those which are now about to
take place in the Northern States, particularly
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and
Indiana. If these States, or even majority OF
them, 90 conservative, and overthrow the radi-
Gals, thero will be hope for the country. If
the radicals prevail, there 10 no knowing what
may happen us. If they should fail In the
struggle, there Is no salvation for them-thsy
are utterly lost and ruined as faction. Hence
their desperate and unscrupulous efforts to win,
stopping at no falsehoods, however monstrous.
For example, their journals in this city brand
their political opponents, in mass, as traitors
and secessionists whereas il is notorious that
they have sent to the war ten for every one
that has come from the abolition camp. The
struggle is thus become a desperate and vio-
lent one--the friends Of the Union, the consti-
tuition and the laws, and a speedy suppression
of the rebellion on one SIDE and the friends of
revolution, anarchy, servile insurrection, war
of races the determination Of the blacks, the
final separation of North and South, or the civil
war protraeted to the exhaustion and utter ruin
Of both sections. Let the people choose which
they will have If they elect conservative men
tbey will strengthen the hands Of the President,
and bring law and order out of the political
chaos with which we are threatened.

Recorder Hoffman deserves tho thanks
of the entire country for the fearless
charge which he made to the Grand
Jury Of New York on the subject OF
the arbitrary arrests. He said:


"The removal of any person from this
State into any other State or Territory,
to answer to any charge of having com
mitted here an offence against the laws
of either the United States or the State,
is without the authority of law. And
every person, whether he be an officer
or private individual, who shall thus
seize and con6ne any person whomso-
ever, with intent either secretly to con
fine or imprison him here, or to remove
him out of the State against his WILL
acts in violation Of the statute, and rem
dcrs himself liabci to indictment and i'm.
prisonment. Upon the trial of such in.
dictment, the fact that such seizure, con
finement and removai aoas by order Of
the President Of tie United States, Of
any member Of has Cabinet, or other Of
fcer of the government, aoiH constitute no
legal defence Neither the President,
nor any member of the Cabinet, or other
officer mot judicial), has any lawful au-
thority to order the seizure, or imprison.
ment, or removal from the State, of any
citizen ofthe State, for any offence what.
ever, committed, or alleged to have been
committed, within its borders"


And again:


"That in a State, not being the scefie
of actual military operations, not hav.
ing even an army within it's borders, not
even any soldiery, excepting such as may
be on their way to fight the battles of
the constitution and the Union, whose
laws are not obstructed or de6ed; where
no form Of tho "law martial can, by
any construction, be made applicable to
any person not mustered into military
service, it is my duty as Judge to de-
clare to you that the seizure of her cit.
liens, their secret Imprisonment against
their will, their removal from beyond
her borders without authority of law to
answer to criminal or other charges,
their confinement in places beyond the
reach of legal process, is in violation of
the rights secured to thcm by the con-
sttution and by the laws, and it is the
right and solemn duty of the grand jury
to indict any person or persons who
have in there respects offended against
the law"


This is the law of the land. All hon

To the Electors Of Michigan.


We again address you on the subjec.

You have recently passed through a
spirited canvass, IN which your object
was the "irnmediate emancipation" OF
ths State from the curse and blight of
radicalism. The smoke of battle has
cleared up, and you may now see wha,
has been accomplished.


From the official canvass Of the late
election just published, it appears that
many counties have been entirely revo-
lutionized, ono Congressional district
has been redeemed, the radical rcpubli.
can majorities in others greatly reduced;
that great gains have been made in the
lower house of the Legislature, and the
Senate has been nearly if not quite tied
while the majority for Governor has
been brought dosn from over twenty
thousand to less than seven thousand.


1t is thus seen that q noble, and, to q
great extent, a successful effortw made
for the maintenance of the Uuion, the
constitution and the laws; and although
the people decreei that the smancipa
ton of tho State should be gradual,
yet you have shaken the power of the
enemy at home, and you may well claim
participation in the victories Of your
brethren in other States, who have by
their combined efforts redeemed the
Congress of the Union from the control
Of the radical inen now WELDING the

At anchor in Hampton Roads we lay,
On board of the Cumberland sloop of war;
And at times from the fortress across the bay
The alarum of drums swept past,


Or a bugle blast


From the camp on shore.
Then far away to the South uprose
A little feather of snow-white smoke,
And we knew that the iron ship of our foes
Was steadily steering its course


To try the force
or our ribs Of oak.
Down upon us heavily runs,
Silent and sullen, the floating fort
Then comes puff of smoke from her guns,
And leaps the terrible death,


With fiery breath,
From each open port.
We are not idle, but send her straight
Defiance back in a full broadside
As hail rebounds from a roof of slate,


Rebounds our heavier bail


From each iron scale
OF the monsters hide.
"Strke your flag - the rebel cries.
In bis arrogant old plantation strain.
Never r our gallant Morris replies


1t is better TO sink than to yield -
And the whole air pealed
With the cheers of our men.
Then, like kraIen huge and black,
She crushed our ribs in her iron grasp!
Down went the Cumberland all a wrack,


With a sudden shudder OF DEATH


And the cannOn's breath
For ber dying grasp.
Next morn. as the sun rose over the bay,

Ho brave land with hearts like these,

SELF GovERNMENT.-Itis is necessary to the firm establishment and continued existence of re- publican government, that the people should be thoroughly trained in the principals of self gov ernment If there be not such training, it is very much to be feared that there is laid in this deficiency the foundation of government, the very antipodes of republican. Upon the educa. tors, then, of a nation. an6 prmarally upon the parents depends it's future independence or sub. jection. Primarily upon the parents, because under their instruction, planted the principles which are to govern the after life of the child Before the child is committed to the influence of the school Or college, he is trained or at least should be trained, in these principles, which, be- ing somewhat developed with advancing age, are to furnish the guiding influences of the life of the man.

 Our country being marked by form of gov ernment, in which the voices of the governed must exert a controlling influence, there is but little need to fear the future growing up of a despotism. Still the necessity of precautionary measures is by no means destroyed If the peo- pie lose the power of self-government, as lose it they will, if the educators of the nation neglect this part of their education, then we have as much cause to fear the final establishment of a despotism over us as did ever any nation.

 But, further, we aid in developing to their fullest extent the powers, intellectual and mor- al, of our children, when intoxicating in their minds the principles of self government. Com pare an American or an Englishman-f for the latter is virtually self governed-with citizen of any one of the more despotic nations of the old world, and note the vast difference! Is not this difference the effect between the sys. tems of education the cause
