lready recognized in the practical operation of the war. On this continent, therefore, is its most promising field for the spoils it has so long sought in vain in Europe, and, what is far more important, as a place on which to rest its lever to overturn ultimately the Old World. If it were possible for the North to subjugate the South, it is easy to perceive that the United States, in the course of half a century, would become the most formidable military power of all the earth. What Americans can accomplish in the fighting line has been already shown by North and South, and what could it not do with a population of a hundred millions, and the enormous wealth and resources which would be created by that population. Here, then, would be a gigantic empire, which could give the lever to all mankind, and which would be animated by the most deadly hate of European institutions. It is strange that the instincts of self- preservation do not rouse Europe to a sense of her danger, and

r, not from any inward motion of his own mind, but from an external pressure, the immediate source of which can scarcely be considered a matter of speculation. Mr. Lincoln has risked the exasperation to madness of nine millions of revolted Americans for the purpose of proving to the conservatives of the North that the South will hear of no compromise, and to the radicals of the North that if they insist on setting free the slave of the South they must fall to work themselves sword in hand.d and trashed as evidence of "disloyalty, " to be punished and suppressed. We desire to see issue distinctly joined upon this claim.--In the name, not exactly of twenty hypothetical millions, but of thousands and hundreds of thousands of loyal Americans ready with their treasure and their life to uphold the national honor and to protect the national rights, we declare that it is the solemn duty of every intelligent American citizen to sit in judgment upon the conduct of this Government, which

ful navigation of the Mississippi river is hereby declared free to the citizens of any of the States upon its borders or upon the borders or its tributaries"--a declaration to which our government has always been and is still ready to adhere. From these declarations, people of the North west, it is made manifest that by the invasion of our territories by land and from sea, we have been unwillingly forced into a war for self- defence, and to vindicate a great principle once dear to all Americans, to with; that no people can be rightly governed except by their own consent. We desire peace now. We desire to see a stop put to a useless and cruel effusion of blood, and that waste of national wealth rapidly leading to and sure to end in national bankruptcy. We are, therefore, now, as ever, ready to treat with the United States, or any one or more of them, upon terms of mutual justice and liberality. And at this juncture, when our arms have been successful on many hard fought fields

atteries. We believe that we are right, and that we will be eventually successful I can't exactly define the nature of the principle for which we are contending. The statesmen of both sections of our country have not been able to come to a satisfactory conclusion about it. If they had, we should not have been at war. Citizen.--What if you are not successful? Rebel.--Then I don't care what becomes of me; but I don't want them ever to see South Carolina again. I am sorry that we Americans are fighting against each other. I would not care the least if our enemies were English, Irish, or Dutch. Citizen.--Why, one half of your soldiers, at least, have been forced into the Southern army. Rebel.--That is not true, sir, I went voluntarily; I don't know any who have gone otherwise. There is one of our men in the car with me who told at Harrisburg that he was forced into the Confederate service; and I say to you, in his hearing that he lies. I have heard your men say t

y next at the ballot box. The Philadelphia Inquirer, the editor of which, though a Republican, is neither a Federal officeholder nor an aspirant for party honors, has the good sense and courage to say in his issue of Tuesday: There are in this city to-day hundreds of battle-worn and wounded soldiers, who have rendered to their country the citizen's highest duty on the battle-field. They are now at home, with shattered constitutions, or with mutilated bodies — Republicans, native Americans, and Democrats-men of all parties, who will be here upon the election day, and will, beyond all doubt, vote with their old parties. Yet these new lights in political morals will tell the battle-stained and scarred Democrat that if he votes for his party nominee he is a Secessionist and traitor! What precious logic it must be that leads to such monstrous conclusions as that! --Again, let us look at the policy of making public proclamation beforehand, that every man who votes in a specifie

vicer, undertakes to harder his benefactor and take possession of his property. If this felonious attempt should happen to fail the baffled criminal should certainly accept with gratitude, the consolatory suggestion, that better mass than himself are sometime disappointed in this wired world! The time has long part when, by the strict letter of law, or the obligations of gratitude, the dismemberment of the British empire in America would be justified even to the judgment of unblessed Americans, on grounds as strong as those which demanded the dismemberment of the II Union--The colonies possessed no rights whatever which they did not derive from the charters granted by the British Crown. In accepting those charters they had given up the right of representation in the British Parliament which they might have enjoyed if they had not preferred the opportunity of making money in America to remaining and having a vote in England. It was not till the Government, which had expanded mi

The most investigate of he pushed himself on everybody and all classes of society. He principally dealt, however with Lords and Ladies, and members of the two houses of Parament, who had been weak enough to give him admittance to their houses. The pestilence has increased from that day to this. Not a Yankee sells to Europe but be carries a trunk full of letters, to be handed to all the celebrities of the day. It is not wonderful, therefore, that the latter have an instinctive horror of Americans, for thus they term the Yankees, confounding them with the people of the South, who cannot be charged with any such detestable vice. Nor is it wonderful that for a long time not a fashionable novel was published in England that did not contain the portal of some American, rendered as have and as contemptible as it was possible for the genius of the writer to depict him. So notorious indeed is the Yankee all over the world for his letter disregard of the sanctities of social life, that the

de, probably intended to run the blockade. From the fact that Captain Reasons who went to Glasgow to take charge of the Columbia, was transferred to the superintendence of the whole rebel fleet, it is supposed that this firm may also be interested in the Columbia.--The names of Messrs. Begby & Co., of George Wigg, of Henry Lafone, of George and James Thompson, and especially of James Laird, M. P., and rebel merchants, agents, and ship builders, deserve to be faithfully remembered by loyal Americans till a possible day of future reckoning. But it is the Liverpool Southern Association that the rebels most largely owe whatever of credit and resources they possess in England. Liverpool is bitterly and almost unanimously rebel in its sympathies, and throughout Great Britain this pestilent seaport has exerted a wide and earnest influence against us. We are not likely to forget it. A fact concerning the Alabama deserves to be stated. The American Consul at Liverpool seems to hav

ty to recommend an appropriation in behalf of the owners of the Norwegian bark Admiral P Tordenskield, which vessel was, in May, 1861, prevented by the commander of the blockading force off Charleston from leaving that port with cargo, notwithstanding a similar privilege had shortly before been granted to an English vessel. I have directed the Secretary of State to cause the papers in the case to be communicated to the proper committees. Applications have been made to me by many free Americans of African descent to favor their emigration, with a view to such colonization as was contemplated in recent acts of Congress. Other parties, at home and abroad — some from interested motives, others upon patriotic considerations and still others influenced by philanthropic sentiments — have suggested similar measures; while, on the other hand, several of the Spanish American Republica have protested against the sending of such colonies to their respective Territories.

From New Orleans. --A New Orleans Picayune, of November 22, has been received in Mobile.--Butler has allowed the Bank of New Orleans to resume business. During the week ending November 15, 12,872 families have received aid from the U. S. Relief Commission, of which 4,657 were Irish, 1,200 Americans, 3,932 Germans, 588 English, 64 Scotch, 723 French, 144 Spanish, 1,308 colored, etc.--a statement which indicates a vast amount of pauperism, and destitution in the Crescent City. There are no quotations of cotton in the Picayune's price current.
