Year: 1863

We copy from the Special Correspondence


of the Gazette a remarkable letter from tht


City Of New York. As it is by the loya
correspondent of loyal Journal, it may b'
assumed, so far as it presents the aspects o


the Administration, to be authenticate plact
the Administration and its party in the ight
in which they are willing to be exhibited


We learn from it that, so far as the States ol
New York is concerned, the threats of Ger
erals Milroy. Logan aud others. have been
carried into effect. The army has been
brought home to coerce the people. The day
when the Copperheads are to be hunted out
OF their holes and crushed, is at hand; and
| it will not. in all hum an probability. be long
before a pretence will be found to set the
| ball in motion.


Of course. there is plot. There always
is plot. The Government says the cor
respondent, SIS in possession of some infor-
nation; that is clear; but what? From the
magnitude of its preparation, it can scarcely
expect less than revolution, with Seymour
at its head, and his fr Q IDS to support him
In hitherto unexampled mum mbers.' When
ever party undertakes to perpetrate great
crCelty, 1t has never any want of a plot
10 be man, and to be opposed to its de-
signs, is to be a consprator. Every agita-
tiou breeds its hords of spies and nformers,





and the blackest pages of history contain the
records of pretended seditions, whose uu re-
atty was not permitted to be exposed until
crowds had been sacrifice ed.


vi course tho pretext at present is to en-
force the draft and keep down the mob. A
better way to dispose OF the mob entirely
would be to permit the constitutionality of
the conscripton to be tried, and abide by the
result. But this the Administration is de-
term.ned against; it dare not permit the
trial. But the pretense is evidently false
one. The late mob was suppressed by the
authorities of the City and State, with no
aid whatever from the Gene raj Government
There is no reason to suppose that the city
is not perfectly safe in the protection of its
own authorities.


The movement is not for this purpose
No danger of rising can be apprshended
that will require for its suppression fifty,
forty or even thirty thousand troops of the
line. The correspondent exults over the
fact that the troops are from other States
from New England and the West; there are
no New Workers among them. Work is to
be done, to do which a New Yorker might
be unwillino. The tyrant here. as we'll as
in Asia or Europe, knows the effect of hu-
man sympathy and provides against it.


There is to be an election in New York.
a Governm ent of force abroad necessi tates
a Government of force at home. The army
is drawn away from putting down the rebels,
to the gentle labor of convincing "free
people, that it is contrary to their duty to
thwart the desires of the party in power i
There is plot: it is cunning one. New
England and the West are to be employed
to put down New York, as New York may |
be if necessary, employed to put down the
West and New England. Our Adminstra-
ion has vast army in its hands, and we
begin to see hat it intends to do with it,


All these things are simply preparations
or other things Force and violence are no
Qualities: they beget force and violence. All
hese rights wrested from the people will
nave to be regained: the people will regain
hem. The tyraurs time is not long, because
he prime necessity of tyranny is for its
constant intens6cation. 1t grows grasping
md cruel, because it must grow grasping and
,ruel or expire. We do not regret their
hings. In the event. they or their equiva-
ents are uevitable-fated; and the faster
he progress. the sooner the end will be
ealized.- Cincinnati Enquirer, august 20.
