Eoct tfsm or There are two thoasind lottery tuket vecden ia New York, and as many more, fcltopciher, ia the OtVr prent cities cf the Unica. There are ca'y lottery crants now inoperstioi twoia y and ore in Vieeouri. Thre oapht to te none. We hardly know which most xffl a community, "policy" shos or petty fregiheps. Koot both our. This paragraph from an Cistern con- temporary meets our most bearty concu- rrent; but tbe two lottery grants in our State are ft tencd upon us and cannot be repealei though they will soon expire by the fuCl-tne- of the otjects for which they were be- stowed. Our State court of last resort has decided on several occasions that the righta rcsud ia the grantees cannot be impaired. We observe also a petition to President Lin- coln in circulation calling for heavy taxation upon tickets and a license for venders of lot- tery tickets. To this there can be no objec- tion; but those who havebe?n iastraaiental in getting tip this petition are mistaken in supposing that the managers of lotlerie3 make $ 15.C00 daily. We imsgiae that if such a sum were guaranteed to them for a few day?, they would be very willing 'to give up their grants, for the Shelby College and the city of Fsanktort have no exorbitant ideas, but bare contracted debts on the faith of their privileges, which, if discharged, tbey would b ready to relinquish all future operations. The evil which has fastened itaeif npon the lottery business is the policy system as carried on in the large Eastern cit- ies, and the efforts of the lottery nanag?rs to break down the iattnious policy dealtn have caused the latter to turn upon the former aad bteiepe oar State Legislatare aad Congress to interfere with contracts. There are some evils which cannot be rootel ou but must die out, and we feci confident that there will be no lottery grant ia the year 1370 which its owners will care to possess, for the tystem has the symptoms of decay and will perish before the time we have dssigaatel. Tha xraVgci'r of these policy men b3 beea uLditrlcd, tzi their agents were active at Frankfort last winter in their endeavors to in- terfere with thelcttery grants, bat were unable to effect anything, although Mr. Benton, of Ktntcn county, introduced a bill at the clo.se cf the session, and it is understood tbat he bas beea their legal adviser before he was elected to the Legislature. It is very clear tbat Kentucky cannot iateifsre with the lot- tery grants which in an evil hoar she legal- ized, and if the revenue officers of the Federal Government tare been overreached by the lottery managers in the collection of stamp duties and licenses, the officials in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and other cities, are qaite incompetent for their posi- tions. Toe petition to which we have refer- red says there are one hundred venders of lottery tickets in this city, bat we know of only one, and we are cot certain whether that one is now doing basines3. We refer to this matter cot because we are not anxious to bT lotteries eradicated, but to avoid the Action of any course of poacy vTUica we. entail litigation npon our State which cannot but result in the sncce of tbe grantees of the ltttery priTi!efi:. ons will bs nnre re- joiced thi tursclves when the whole system i exploded, but if those who axe working for reform desire an ample field for their labor tet tbem go auiorg the miserable and degraded policy shops of the large Eastern cities aad tbey will find work to lost them for year aad a herculean bbor before them eq iil'to the pcrgatioa cf the sta'oie of the Argonaut by elaDging the coursa cf the rirer Alphtui to n fcih iu filth away. JBsif There are gret txrtioDj mikiaj ia 'rV Afhicgton to extend tho patent fr G jol-jeer- india-rubb- aad Woodwonh'i plan-ix- g machine.

Lrerjbjdy whabaUds a Louse, or indeed who tenants one, pays a tribute to Woodwoith, because Le was the first to ai ply machinery to the preparation of flooring boards, kz. We are all willing to rice m pen se an inventor liberally aad maaif-iceuti- but after a proper lajiid of tiaie the public bas paid for it, and the right should be tiaxsferred to those who hve tnus acquired lie lights of purchasers. If do limit is as- signed w are compelled to keep oa pijin; one man, when, perhaps, the valuable discov ery would, during that time, have beea mile ty other persons. A short term of patent right is preferable oa maLy accounts; if it is ictiiy worthy it will Boa remunerate the dicCoverer,nd mechanic tIcat will beoa-ui- .t y at woik to suggest improvement?. Pubapa the magnetic telegraph piys as well as any eo called invention, tLucgh in reality it was nothing more than a fortunate applicatin ot genernl principle-san- laws of nature. Tke companies orgaiiicd ncdrr its patent are p;ing fabulous dividends, and thece who use tha wires are cbargfd very heavy rates. Let the system ba ibrown cpe-- to general use, as it shsuld have n from tbeCref, the Government remuner- ating Professor Mcrse, end we sbs'l have a cLespe-- and more reliable means of intercom- munication thaa we Lave ever yet etijoyed. If there are any combinations discovered at Wathirgton to lobby extensions cf patents thrcnh Congress we hopo ihfy will be frus- trated. The public good and private interests ioth require the immediate termination cf the two great monopolies to which we at rtt alluded, and of the last as boo a as it can be fairly done without prejudice to present owners. fccT Lamar, the late rebel emissary to e, in Lis Georgia speech, told all kiads of falsehoods to deceive Lis credulous Confed- erate auditors. Among other things, whica fairly rivalled Mj?r Lonbw or Biro a k'ttchauaen, Le asserted that "the financiers f London bad taken the C)nfe4erate loan, while they refused ta touch that of the United States." When it is so well known that our Government bae offered no loan to Earoooan cnpi'uJists to aid in the prosecutiou of the war, Le mar's idle assertion needs no If the car. tiers of Lcndon ever bit as the Con-- f derate loan, we Lave never beard it so stated uttil it came from Lamar; tLere was some of it taken in France, and in Frankfort, but n t ten traccacticns L&ve ever been reported ia Erglecd.

Kotwithstacding the weather was inclement, there was a good attendanee of sturdy yeomea of the county, and much interest was mini-fes'e- d in the proceedings. Indeed the fervor of patriotic feelings of devotioa to tha Consti- tution und Unica and suppressing the rebel-lie- n thit charecterized all tte proceedings were well ca'cuiated to remind us of tb.e bet- ter da js of Kentucky patriotism and purer loyalty of 1861-2- , when the hearts aad hiad3 of all Ucioa men acted in perfect harmony, and oclv for ore treat purpose the sunares- - ficn of the rebellion and maintenance of the Unicn. After t xplaiaintr the objects f tbs maeilaff, the Chairman in a brief manner referred to the present condition of the country, and its hU-lo- since the beginning of the rebellion, and erpeciaily to the fact that at the beginning Kentucky tock her position upon high consti tutional grounds for the tmoa &nl sippre tipg the rebellion; that tbe principles then as sumed bad been ratin4 a?ain and again in every possible form by publi: meetings and col vet. tiers, at the polls, at the several elec- tions in 1861, and subsequent elections, and by tbe Legislature; tbat it we were right at the beginning, as we all believe, it was becanse our principles were right.

Johk McCrwiS, Sec'y. , LOUISVILLE, 19, 18(3 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1864. "ef 'Tns Ukics or thb Co.vsTiTrriosj akd ths Erol!CIlIST or thi Law3." Mr. Clay, ia bis memorable speech before the Legislaturo of Kentucky in 1850, said: If the notation irt regard fo tha fngitire elave law should continue aad increase and become alarming, it will lead to tbe formation cf two new pariif s, one for the Union aad tha other against tbe Unioa. Prejar parties r are been created by dirUioa of opinion aa to the syste m of national policy as to finance, free trade, or protection, the uaproremeit of rivers and harbors, the distribntion of the pro- ceeds of the public lan ds, kc. ; but the systems cf policy priagiD?out government of the Union lose all their interest and importance if that Union is to be dissolved. Tbey sink into uttor insignificance bofora tha all important, pervasive, and praanunt in- terest of the Union itself, and ths platform of ttat l cion party wm be the Union of tha Constitution ar.d and, if it should be necessary to forca sach' a psrty and it should be accordingly formed, I arne-nric- mjself, in this plsce, a member of that L men party, hatever may l?e its com- ponent elements. Sir, I go further; I haTe bad great bor-e- and confi lenca in the princi- ples cf the Whig party, ai being most likely to conduce to the honor, the prosperity, a'ad the fcloty of my country. Bat if it is to be tiered into a contemptible aboli- tion party, ar.d if abolitionism is to be engiafted on tbe Whig creed, from that mo ment I renounce tne party ana cease to Da a Whip. I go a step further if I ata ale I I give my numble support ror tne presi dency to that man, to whatever party he my tetcng, wno is nncontaminatca Dy waati-cif- rather than to one who, crying out all the time eEd aload that he is a. Whig, main- tains doctrines utterly subversive of the Con- stitution and the Union. This celebrated passage was levelled diractly at tee Ebolition Wh'gs or Whig abolitionists, who, under the leadership of Mr. Seward, were organizing a faetiou3 'opposition to the great measures of compromise adopted two months before under the auspices of Mr. Clay. In other words, the passage was levelled di- rectly at the faction, which, augmented by recruits from all parties, Btyled itself a few years later the Republican party, and con tested fcr the Freeidency under the leadership cf John C.

They began their operations by professing to employ enly persuasive means ia appeaimg to the humanity, and enligatenmg toe under- standings, of tne slaveholding portion. of the Union. If there wera soma kindness in this avewed motive, it must be there was rather a presumptuous display also of an assumed superiority in intelligence aad knowledge.

Tbe aboiuionists, let rae suppose, succeed ia their present aim of uniiiiii the inhabitants of the tree btte3, aa one man, f gainst the inhabitants of theslve States. Union on tbe one side will beget union on tbe other. And this process of ra ciprocal consolidation will ba attended with all tte violent prejudices, embittered passions, end implacable animosities, which ever de graded or defamed human nature. A virtual oiscolution ct tee union will nave tasen plrte, whiltt the forms of its existence re- main. Tte ruofct valuable element of union, mutual kindness, the feeliag3of sympathy, the fra'ertal bonds which no w happily uaite ne, will have been extinguished forever.

Whoever go?a to market knowa tha effects of combination among those who sell the products of the soil, and feels most materially Low little ways a dollar will go now to what it did a few yeara Bince. Whea we visit the grocery, it ia the same tiling over again; there is a fictitioua value placed upon every article, and the in- crease of price ia not demanded by any natu- ral causes or by the results of war, at least not to any comparison with the now rulin rates. The agricultural and States have been blessed with plenty, while removed from the immediate theatre of hos- tilities, and the wants of tha Government for tbe eupport cf its immonsa armiea having made it the largest consumer aad the controlling purchaser of food, priee3 Lave swelled out of all legitimate pro- portions. The increased cost of pradactioa and taxation would of course add something to real valuea, bat by coproc?sa of argument can it be showa that the natural coaraa of business would stimulate such inflated prico9 for the products cf the field or garden. Tha same re me. ks may apply to tea, caff.;e, sugar, and articles which come more specifically na- iler the denomination of "groceries." There 13 nothing which induces dealers to charge such exorbitant price3 for them but depraved avarice and a determination to make fortunes oat of tha public necessities. No one who Laa anything to sell ia con- tent with living profits, but wanta to make a fortune while the rebellion continues. Men who war thus upon the social happiaesa and the domestic comforts of the people are at heart, to our view, aa mafigaaat foc3 and traitors aa those who conspire against our political peace and governmental relations. There ia no palliation for such conduct, but the greed for speculation, like jealousy, makea the mc&t it feeds on, drives men mad. We do nst regard it a pertinent argument aa ad- vanced by the Boston Commercial Balletin, that the Government, not limited by a senia of frugality in iia expenditures, anl with the whole resources of the public Treasury to back it, Laa thua enormously and unnecessarily in- flated the prices of all the cecessarias of life ia its loose method of awarding contracta which Lave established the market for them. Government contract prices do not govern 'the domestic markets; we don't believe there ia A barracs or hospital or camp ia Ken- tucky that does not get ita beef served at about cne-thir- of the price which we have to pay our butchers, wha have one scale of prices for the army aui another for their old customers.

The result so far haa beea that the agricultural branch of our national iada3try, haa been greatly benefitted and enriched by an event which, viewed ia any other Uzht, must be regarded as a great publia calamity. Faimera have grown rich and independent, and though their granaries are full, thair money coffers are bo well filled al?o, that, un less they can get their fall prices for any commodity no matter Low the Eastern mar kets may rule, or whether gold is ua or do wa they will not sell, though holding may ia vclve a (treat sacrifice and depreciation ia value.

Wherever there is achsnce to forestall, m ccjol'ze, end force prices up to a higher raaga, we see tbem operating ia tha provision und produce markets with a?al worthy of a bet ter cause.

If these predatory speculators would coafiaa their gambling operationa to gold, stock?, or een the luxuries of lite, the publis would have less occasion to end tnult. Bat whsn, at a crisis like the present, they take hold ot the cectEsary article of food, acd combine to- gether to place it above the resca o? tha masses, thus superadding the blight of ftmine to the horrors of war, it is high time to bring to bear at lAst some moral, if not legal, in- fluence to restrain them. Long since, their excesses reached such a pitch, aad threatened fuch serious consequences ia tbe Con- federate Statep, tbat tbe Government was obliged to intervene with a strong arm, not enly for the protection of Uie people bat its own preservation. And if any correct judgment can bo formed from the signs of the times among us, tho North is rapidly approach- ing the same crisis. Nothing caa avert such a catastrophe unless the speculative tendency is checked and the moat effectual way to iy that, it seems to ns, is for the government to levy a round, discriminating tax upoa sach irregular tradera. In ordinary times, scarcity and hizh prices are almost commercial Bynonyma. But now we Lave high prices (unreasonably so) with- out ecarcity. No'.wi'.hsUading the large ar- my consumption, we know the supply of food in the country is ample for any possible emergency. Since the beginning of the war we have been blessed with abundant crops, most of them above the ave.age, . aad nearly all kinds cf domestic prodaca thi3 year have tended to accumnlatiaa upoa our hands, owing to the prevalence of peace and ample harresta abroad, and the consequent falling off ia our exports. We have enough of every thing for tha present, and aie likely to have enoigh for ths fu'ura. Net counting upoa ita reserved 6tores, the great West will turn out mora bread, meat, butter, cheese, thia year, than tha whole country can consume in two, whether the war is brought to a cloee or cot; and every labor- ing man mipht have these necessarUs at a fair price but tor this speculating maaia. 5?The Republican members cf Congreai and the Republican newspapers are eoasidar-in- g tbe propriety cf poitponic till Siptam-berlb- a meeting of their caUoaM convention to ccmicate a candidate for the Wewndancy.

Mr. Pettigrew ia the Chaplain of the Thirty-firs- t Georgia Regiment, and re- mained behind with the wounded of hia regi- ment, when General Lee retreated from Penn- sylvania into Virginia, after tbe battle Of GettyEburg.

They want the war wasred to restore the Unioa. They want it waged oa what they term con- stitutional principle?, and I am firmly of opinion that the Democrats are tho most for- midable enemies we have. If they wera to get ia power North, it would enly be a re- newal of the war, aad all ita past bloody scenes and horrors. The best thing for ua wiil be the continuation of the Republican Admin- istration. Mr. Pettigrew clearly made good use of hia eyes and wits daring hia stay ia the North. He learned the truth, aad Laa pretty fairly told it, in which last particular at lea3t he haa the advantage cf a good many people of greater opportunities, though doubtkaa of greater temptations also. Mr. Pettigrew ia right ia what Le evidently learned; but ha ia cot scrupulously right ia Lis account cf it. We meaa Le ia evidently not altogether can did. He ia right ia sayicg that the rebela Lave co friends ia the North worth spe iking of; that both the Democrats aal R?pub!icar:3 are ia favor of prosecuting the war; that tie Democrats want tha war waged to restore the Union; that the Democrats are tho most for- midable enemies the rebep have; and thv.tae best thisg for the rebela wiil ba the coatiau w tion of the Republican Administration. Ia all thia Mr. PettigreT is right; bat, ia ad dition to all tL:?, Le learned ct least oae other important tru h, which ho hta omitted to tell; namely, that the DemoTati.by which came he denotes tiiw vonaervativea of tha North, cot only will be satisfied" with sotne-thi- rg short of the arbitrary subjugation of the Southern people, but wiil neither demand nor accept anything farther than simple to the constitution, deeming all else revolutionary, and fraught with destruction to the liberties of the people North aa well aa South. This truth Mr. Pettigrew Laa not told; cay, Le Laa impliedly told the contrary. Ha is ss to thia point guilty not merely of tvppressio ttri but of rujfcslio fahi. Yet tha truth with which Le thcu deals ia tbat for the declaration and maintenance of which the Northern conservatives are denounced aa traitors by the Republicans from Maine to Oregon.

He waa afraid of ita effect upoa the Southera people, whoa bo doubtless anticipated that Lia accouat woald reach, acd whose hearts, aa he knows, secretly yearn for peace oa the basis of the Uuioa of the Conatituiioa. He shrunk from proclaisa- - -- m -- . wmtira nartT of the North demands nothing more. He feared to confess the whole truth. Mr. Pettigrew wishes the rebellion to succeed; aal, while he could not ia common prudence withhold the truth that the North ia a unit ia favor of prosecuting the war, he dreaded to couple with this truth the acknowledgment that the conservatives are at the same time ia favor of peace on the basja cf the Unioa of the Con- stitution, because the two truths coanbiaed must operate ss a powerful dissuaaioa against the further prosecution of the rebellion. Ha acccrdic&ly ktiaiated that the North is a uait ia favor of the despotic subjugation of the South as well aa in favor of prosecuting tha war. The tendency of the caae aa taui pre- sented is manifestly to goal the- - Soathera people into the energy cf despair, which ia exactly what the rebel leaders want to effect, as it is exactly what the Republican party ia helping them to effect. The Republi- can party ia nndeniahly a uait ia favor of the deepotic subjugation of the South. It ia thU fact which invests the rebel leaders with power over the Southern people. The spell with which tha rebel leadara are now holding the Southern people ia spokei by the Republican party. The weapon with which the rebel leaders are now tryinstobaat oat fie life of the government ia put into their hands by the Republican party. Such is the actual relation between the armed assailants of the government and ita lawfully appointed guar- dians. Tho rebel leadera certainly know what they are about. And we are inclined to be- lieve that the Rejab'icaa leaders know what they are abont. We have been a customed to look t pen them aa political madmen; but we are beginning to leck upon them aa conaciouj traiior3. They are in fact begiining to look upon each other aa such and to avow the opinion. Certain it ia, that, if they are not conscious traitors, they are unconscious trai- tors of the worst possible stamp. They are consciously or unconsciously p'.aving into tbe Lands of the rebel leaders with a vigor aad cleepeiation that render the deatructioa of the government between the two a mere question if time. It is for the people to determine at tha ballot- -box ia November whether or not the gov- ernment shall be left longer to the mercy of these allies In the workof natienal ruia and dishonor. Mr. Pettigrew discloses ths strength and hope at once of the Union and of the re- bellion. The strength and hope of the Union lie in the conservative. "I ara firmly of opinion," Le aafS, "that the Democrat ara the most formidable enemies we hare." Tha strength and hope of the rebellion lie la the Republicans.

Ee tel's U3, what aoboly will pretend to deny, tbat it ma be sA do wa j aa a fixed fact that tha defeasiva sj3a of j warfare, e3 a governing principle, hu beea abandoned by the South; that oa iavoa on of the North at two and perhapa &t tir-- , points will form a prominent Tatare ia the carcp'aigu; that a dotermiaed ! effort will be made to traasf.r the seat of war j to Northern soil, aa l to fight decisive ba.;'.a north of the Potomac and Oiio rivera. All thia hsa beea stated before, anl w.is geaeral-'- known, Lut "Druid" goea iato the penetralia and kta ua know that the obstacle to the adoption of the new policy haa not beea oa the part of the maj33 ia the Confederacy, wbo are tired of the desolations of war, but emanated from influential leader?, aaionj whom Jeff. Davis aad Generals John3toa aad Bragg are named, and that the subject wts fully discK;3ed at recent military coaacila ia Richmonds the result of which waa entire unanimity ia favor of aggressive operational TLe argumenta ia favor of the policy ware: 1. That it would be the most e facta J man- ner ot defending their owa cities, tor tha, with one Confederate, army operating ia the interior of Pennsylvania aad another ia Oaij or Indiana, it would be impoeoib'e for the Union forces to advance agaicst Richmond or, Atlanta, or indeed to invade the Sou:h at any point; but that, on the other hand, it would make it necessary for ua to keep the bulk ot our forces at cotae for the defence of oar c wa cities, and particularly for thi dtfeaca of Washington. 2. That it would relisve the South of tha enormoua expense of the taainteaaaesot their armiea and impose that expease npoa the North, while it would enable the South to draw suppliea of grain, flour, clothing, and, above ail, of horses, a i libitum, Isqjx laeir 3. That the three great objects to which tha attention of the Union armiea wouM bs di rected thia year would be Richmond, Atlanta, ar.d Charleston; that the fortidcatioaj of Richmond aad Charleston were such aa to render these placea practically impr-i.ab'- evea if defended by only Wa taoasaai trooos at each point; acd that, with such a couatry aa thai between Caattanooii aad A'iaara. twenty-fiv- e thousand Connie rata troops cca i the advance of seventy-fiv- e taoaiand Unionists for six mouths. 4. That, even allowing seventy-Sv- e thou-rsn- d trorpa for tha defence of meaaccd points ia the South, and tor operating against ad- vancing columns ot Union trrK;3, tne Confed- erates would still bT3 two huair-- d t'aoaaaa-- uocps wherewith to iavade the North. These embrace nothing more thaa the c- - tuati-j- g motirea to which e have already re- ferred, but they afford caaarmttioa of the"d3-Big- of the rebels, for meeting and counter- mining which we Lope oar military authori- ties will Lave everv thing ia readiae33. Tho effective force of oar armies waa never larger than at present, car soldiers have acquira-- I tho experience cf veteran3, and our Gcaerala the capacity to cemmarvd. We caa concentrate troops nearly aa rapidly aa the rebela ara ena- bled to threaten particular The assija-me- nt of the most trusted officers under Grant to important positions ia aa evidence that there will be precoacert of actioa along the whole line, from. the Atlantic to the Miaaisdp-p- u General W. F. Sicith ia command of the forces oa the Yoiktowa Peninsula, Sherman and Thomas ia Gtorai end Alabrsa, aad Meade ia persoa oa the Potomac, will sooa strike a blow which must make th wrmja reel. While our are able to threaten the rebel capital ia so many direction?, while it can Le menaced fro a North Carolina along the j"bm fro a the west thronzfc Georgia, the Confederate will have to look bo closely to their owa safety that they will bajdiy be able to plan atrgreaairamovemsuta. If all our amies move at oace Richmond must fall, anl probably without aay serioui battle. Thia would compel tha Confederates to adopt a new line of defence anl cat off tha main roads of transportation between their right and left winga. The programme of operations laid dowa by tha rtbela would Jsa very admirable if it could ba earned out, but it ia utterly impracticable. They look with greedy impatieace at "tha suppliea ot grain, ficur, clothing, and, above all, of horaea, ai libitum," the possession of which would re- lieve them of the enorraouj eipenso of thsir armies and impose it npoa the loyal Svat; bet 'ttey ara unattainable. Their proposal policy will be foiled wLCLar ai wherever it3 executioa ia attempted. IS?The letter from Lexington which w published yesterday contains the following iemark touching Dr. EreckiariJe'a latejt speech ia that city: "With regard to tha' p sition and action of Governor Braailette, it was quite impossible to determine whether tha Doctor intended himelt to ba understood aa condemning or indorsing; bat the whole tenor of Lis remarks suggested to soma present the idea that Le was baiting to eatica the Gov ernor into the radical ranka, and yet to leave him with just as Utile infl aeace there aa possi- ble." Thoeewhoso construed Dr. ka were doubtless mistaken. The construction ia indeed some w Lat arj nat to Gov-err- Bramlette, whose position as be twee a conservatism and radicaluat ia cot a matter of doubt to any body and least of all to Dr. Biecklnridge. Governor B ramlette not mere- ly rejects radicalism bat abhori it aa tha twia eril of secessionLja; aad thia Dr. Breckin- ridge Laa especial reaaoaa to know. The con- struction ia question ia plainly erroneoua. Thopch Dr. Breckinridge ia not a wise or sagaciona ma a La La quite too rational to waste his energ'ej ia baiting a radical hook or a Look cf aay other description for Gov-err- or Bramlett. Patriotic, brave, and enlighten!, Gov-err- Bramletta is cot one to ba hooked by fisLert of men. We can suggest aa exp'anation of the al leged ambiguity much more consistent with j probability as well aa much more j to Gorernor Bramlet e. If our correspondent ia cot mistaken ia regard to the effect, it waa j caused co doubt by a very natural desira oa the part of Dr. Breckinridge to deprecate the j wrath or the justice of a maa whose confi- de cce Le had vio ated ia order to defame hia. - frThe Committee in the House ef Rep resentatives on the Conduct of the War say i that Gea.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1864. "ef

'Tns Ukics or thb Co.vsTiTrriosj akd thsErol!CIlIST or thi Law3." Mr. Clay, iabis memorable speech before the Legislaturoof Kentucky in 1850, said:

If the notation irt regard fo tha fngitireelave law should continue aad increase andbecome alarming, it will lead to tbe formationcf two new pariif s, one for the Union aad thaother against tbe Unioa. Prejar partiesr are been created by dirUioa of opinion aa tothe syste m of national policy as to finance,free trade, or protection, the uaproremeit ofrivers and harbors, the distribntion of the pro-ceeds of the public lan ds, kc. ; but the systems cfpolicy priagiD?outgovernment of the Union lose all their interestand importance if that Union is to be dissolved.Tbey sink into uttor insignificance bofora thaall important, pervasive, and praanunt in-

terest of the Union itself, and ths platform ofttat l cion party wm be the Union of thaConstitution ar.dand, if it should be necessary to forca sach' apsrty and it should be accordingly formed, Iarne-nric- mjself, in this plsce, a member ofthat L men party, hatever may l?e its com-

ponent elements. Sir, I go further; I haTebad great bor-e- and confi lenca in the princi-ples cf the Whig party, ai being most likelyto conduce to the honor, the prosperity, a'adthe fcloty of my country. Bat if it isto be tiered into a contemptible aboli-tion party, ar.d if abolitionism is to beengiafted on tbe Whig creed, from that moment I renounce tne party ana cease to Da aWhip. I go a step further if I ata ale I

I give my numble support ror tne presidency to that man, to whatever party he mytetcng, wno is nncontaminatca Dy waati-cif-

rather than to one who, crying out allthe time eEd aload that he is a. Whig, main-tains doctrines utterly subversive of the Con-

stitution and the Union.

This celebrated passage was levelled diractlyat tee Ebolition Wh'gs or Whig abolitionists,who, under the leadership of Mr. Seward,were organizing a faetiou3 'opposition to thegreat measures of compromise adopted twomonths before under the auspices of Mr. Clay.In other words, the passage was levelled di-

rectly at the faction, which, augmented byrecruits from all parties, Btyled itself a few

years later the Republican party, and contested fcr the Freeidency under the leadershipcf John C. Fremont. If Mr. Clay thu3 de--

ronnctd the Republican party in its germ,what wculdbe Lave said of it if he had livedto Ece it in its full-blo- and fall-ear- maturity?

Our readers do cot need to be reminded,however, that Mr. Clay Lad a strangely exactforeknowledge of what the Republican partywould be in its maturity, as well aa of tha calamities it would serve to inflict upoa theUnica Le loved and gaardcl so well. Wathree or four months ago cited hi3 laaguigeon this point, from one of the most reaarkable of his speeches in the Senate of the Uaion;but, as tbe point ia of fearfully increasing in-

terest, we here cite Li3 language nnew.peaking of the men who now control tba

government, and who seem resolved to perpetuate their control if posa'ole by fairnes.es or foul, ha said:

With them the rights of property are nothing; the deficiency of tha powers of tha'Gen- -eral Uovernme.nt is cotticg; tne e.csnowi-edged and incontestable power3 cf tha &wta3ere nothing; civil war, a dissolution of theUnion, and the overthrow ot a governmentin which are concentrated tbe fondest hopesof tbe civilized world, are nothing. A singleidea bas taken possession ot their minds, anlonward they pursue it, overlooking ail barriers, reckless and regardless of all consequences.

They began their operations by professingto employ enly persuasive means ia appeaimgto the humanity, and enligatenmg toe under-standings, of tne slaveholding portion. of theUnion. If there wera soma kindness in thisavewed motive, it must bethere was rather a presumptuous display alsoof an assumed superiority in intelligence aadknowledge. For sometime they continuedto make the9e apnea's to our duty and our intereat; but, impatient with the slow influenceof their logic upon our stupid minds, they recently resolved toOhange their systam of ac--v to tne egency or inic nowera or persuation, tuey ii tnupoae to to .of tbe ballot-box- : and anusi be blind towbat4s passing before aa, who Uoea u ita- -

. 1. . ,V i...;kU t..J.nn. nf thai- -proceedings is. if these should ba found insufficient, to invoke, finally, tho more potentpowers cf the bayonet.

Abolition should no longer be regarded aaen imaginary danger. Tbe aboiuionists, letrae suppose, succeed ia their present aim ofuniiiiii the inhabitants of the tree btte3, aaone man, fgainst the inhabitants of theslveStates. Union on tbe one side will begetunion on tbe other. And this process of raciprocal consolidation will ba attended withall tte violent prejudices, embittered passions,end implacable animosities, which ever degraded or defamed human nature. A virtualoiscolution ct tee union will nave tasenplrte, whiltt the forms of its existence re-

main. Tte ruofct valuable element of union,mutual kindness, the feeliag3of sympathy,the fra'ertal bonds which no w happily uaitene, will have been extinguished forever.One fec'ion will stand ia menacing and hos-

tile anay egainst tha other. Tbe collision ofcpir.k.n will ba qaickly followed by the clashof ain'S. I will not attempt to describe sceueawhich cow happily lie concealed f'roui oartiew. Abolitionists themselves would shrinkJ.ack in dismay and horror at tha contempla-tion cf desolated fieida, cotifiigrated ci:i3,murdered inhabitants, and tha overthrow oftte fairest fabric of human goveramont thatever rose to animate tbe hopes of civilisalDObD.

Having reproduced the langaaj-- e of Mr.

C!ay f a we cited it several month3 ago, wetl.bll perhaps be pardoned if we reproducaalio tie observations w'ith which we then

it. "Since these prophetic wordswere spoken," we venturad to observe, "thacurtain, tLacksto the joint effortof the

the abolitionists, has been raised;acd the scenes which then lay concealed fromour view are now.exposed to thegaea of man-

kind. Mr.. Clay's words are truly lajtiuctwith the spirit of prophecy; bat they fail iaOEe pftiticu'ar. Tbe abolitionists themjjelve3,

eo far from ehrinking back in dismay andbcrrcr at :the canttmplation of the ruiathey have aided tCdraw down npoa tha Re-

He indeed described them aa politi-

cal demons; but they have proved themselvesever, woiea than be described them. Miltonin Paradise Lost represents the Arch-fien- d aa

merable spirits whom ho had Involved in thetame guilt and ruin with himself:

Tears, Bach at angels weep, burst forth.

But the abolitionist?, though standing them-

selves at a Eafe distance from the rata iawhich they Lave involved others, manifest noeuch tiges cf compai-sio- n for their victims.TLey are more piulesi than tha Arch-fien-

under circumstances more favorable to agleam of pity.

Yet tho abolitionis'p, in this extreme andmcnsirous stage cf their development, havetbe audocity to erect their taper- - infernalBtaLdard in sight of the grave of Heary Clay,and to call upon the patriots of Kentucky tounite with them in completing the ruin at thebnro contemplation of which Le charitablysupposed tbey would shrink back ia dismayand horror. Who ia simple enongh to imag-

ine, that, in tha presence of all this guilt andruia, the patriots cf Kentucky will turn a daafear to the voice of Henry Clay, breathing theadded spell of death, acd circle down like somany charmed birds into tha articulatingjaws cf abolitionism? The notion ia absurd.Kentucky Laa proved nobly true to tha conn-e-

SrEctTLATioN is Food. Whoever go?a to

market knowa tha effects of combinationamong those who sell the products of the soil,

and feels most materially Low little ways a

dollar will go now to what it did a few yearaBince. Whea we visit the grocery, it ia the

same tiling over again; there is a fictitiouavalue placed upon every article, and the in-

crease of price ia not demanded by any natu-

ral causes or by the results of war, at leastnot to any comparison with the now rulinrates. The agricultural andStates have been blessed with plenty, whileremoved from the immediate theatre of hos-

tilities, and the wants of tha Government fortbe eupport cf its immonsa armiea havingmade it the largest consumer aad thecontrolling purchaser of food, priee3

Lave swelled out of all legitimate pro-

portions. The increased cost of pradactioaand taxation would of course add somethingto real valuea, bat by coproc?sa of argumentcan it be showa that the natural coaraa ofbusiness would stimulate such inflated prico9

for the products cf the field or garden. Thasame re me. ks may apply to tea, caff.;e, sugar,and articles which come more specifically na-

iler the denomination of "groceries." There13 nothing which induces dealers to chargesuch exorbitant price3 for them but depravedavarice and a determination to makefortunes oat of tha public necessities. No

one who Laa anything to sell ia con-

tent with living profits, but wanta tomake a fortune while the rebellion continues.Men who war thus upon the social happiaesaand the domestic comforts of the people are atheart, to our view, aa mafigaaat foc3 andtraitors aa those who conspire against ourpolitical peace and governmental relations.There ia no palliation for such conduct, butthe greed for speculation, like jealousy, makeathe mc&t it feeds on, drives men mad. Wedo nst regard it a pertinent argument aa ad-

vanced by the Boston Commercial Balletin,that the Government, not limited by a seniaof frugality in iia expenditures, anl with thewhole resources of the public Treasury to backit, Laa thua enormously and unnecessarily in-

flated the prices of all the cecessarias of lifeia its loose method of awarding contractawhich Lave established the market for them.Government contract prices do not govern'the domestic markets; we don't believe thereia A barracs or hospital or camp ia Ken-

tucky that does not get ita beef servedat about cne-thir- of the price which we

have to pay our butchers, wha have one scaleof prices for the army aui another for theirold customers. There ia, aowaver, a sag;e3- -

lion cf our Bojton contemporary, watch de

serves attention, and it ia that the Govern-

ment Los laid ita band vary gaatly and for- -bearirgly upon the agricultural cla'i ia thawoy of taxation, and so far a3 tha extraordi-

nary current expen3ea of the cotatry areconcerned, this claiJ, wLkb. h3 Contributedmuch Iccathan ita proportionate share towardthem, would be hardly able to realize that we

are ia the fourth year of a cruel and desolat-

ing civil war, but for the draft which ia con-

tinually made npon it for men rather thanmoney. The result so far haa beea that theagricultural branch of our national iada3try,haa been greatly benefitted and enriched byan event which, viewed ia any other Uzht,must be regarded as a great publia calamity.Faimera have grown rich and independent,

and though their granaries are full, thairmoney coffers are bo well filled al?o, that, un

less they can get their fall prices for anycommodity no matter Low the Eastern markets may rule, or whether gold is ua or do wathey will not sell, though holding may iavclve a (treat sacrifice and depreciation iavalue. The paper which make the3e suggestions ia a recognized orgaa of the businessmen of New England, and its aimUnona,theie"ore, are all important, when It says

But on the store of wastefulness and inflatedprices, our chief complaint is c&t against thagovernment or the practical farmer. If thesehigh prices eenn-- to the benefit of the lar.erelor.e, consumers would be nore patient under the h?avy bufben imposed ou aadwe all ttnow it is tne rate or beii;gareat goverr ments to be swindled ia tha mark-.-t.- aswell as despoiled in the field.

Wherever there is achsnce to forestall, mccjol'ze, end force prices up to a higher raaga,we see tbem operating ia tha provision undproduce markets with a?al worthy of a better cause.

If these predatory speculators would coafiaatheir gambling operationa to gold, stock?, oreen the luxuries of lite, the publis wouldhave less occasion to end tnult. Bat whsn,at a crisis like the present, they take hold otthe cectEsary article of food, acd combine to-gether to place it above the resca o? thamasses, thus superadding the blight of ftmineto the horrors of war, it is high time to bringto bear at lAst some moral, if not legal, in-fluence to restrain them. Long since, theirexcesses reached such a pitch, aad threatenedfuch serious consequences ia tbe Con-federate Statep, tbat tbe Governmentwas obliged to intervene with a strong arm,not enly for the protection of Uie people batits own preservation. And if any correctjudgment can bo formed from the signs of thetimes among us, tho North is rapidly approach-ing the same crisis. Nothing caa avert sucha catastrophe unless the speculative tendencyis checked and the moat effectual way to iythat, it seems to ns, is for the government tolevy a round, discriminating tax upoa sachirregular tradera.

In ordinary times, scarcity and hizh pricesare almost commercial Bynonyma. But nowwe Lave high prices (unreasonably so) with-out ecarcity. No'.wi'.hsUading the large ar-my consumption, we know the supply offood in the country is ample for any possibleemergency. Since the beginning of the warwe have been blessed with abundant crops,most of them above the ave.age, . aadnearly all kinds cf domestic prodaca thi3year have tended to accumnlatiaa upoaour hands, owing to the prevalence ofpeace and ample harresta abroad, and theconsequent falling off ia our exports.

THURSDAY, APRIL 14,

t& We republish ia the Journal of thiimorning General Burbridga'a Order No. 23embodying the order of General Grant ia re-

spect to disloyal practices in Kentucky. Thaorder deserve tbe careful attention of ell laauthority as well aa of the people.

1ST Among the rebel letters found at M-

eridian and Kosciusko ia Hirsissippi by GeneralSherman daring Lia late expedition waa oaefrom tbe Rev. J. L. Pettigrew to Lia brotherand sister. Mr. Pettigrew ia the Chaplain ofthe Thirty-firs- t Georgia Regiment, and re-

mained behind with the wounded of hia regi-

ment, when General Lee retreated from Penn-

sylvania into Virginia, after tbe battle Of

GettyEburg. The letter ia question waa writ-te- a

at the Camp cf Gordon's Brigade, nearOraige Court House, Ya., or the tweaty-fir-

ot last November. Hera ia the writer's ac-

count of wkat he learned while ia the North,which although we believe we Lave publishedit before ia deeerving of repub-licatio- :

I learned while North, that we have nofrienda there; it any at ail, bo few that theycan be of no benefit to ui. There are twogreat parties there, viz: the Democrats anlRepublicans. These both are in fvor ofprosecuting the war, and will be satisfied withncthirg short cf cur ccmrlete eubjagatioa-Icdee-

cur entire suHugatiaa they are bothresolved on. The only dilfirence betweeahem ia aa to the policy of conducting the

The Democrats oppose bitterly AbeLincoln's emancipation policy, and wiil neverunite with Lim while he pursues it. Theywant the war wasred to restore the Unioa.They want it waged oa what they term con-

stitutional principle?, and I am firmly ofopinion that the Democrats are tho most for-

midable enemies we have. If they wera toget ia power North, it would enly be a re-

newal of the war, aad all ita past bloodyscenes and horrors. The best thing for ua wiilbe the continuation of the Republican Admin-istration.

Mr. Pettigrew clearly made good use of hia

eyes and wits daring hia stay ia the North.He learned the truth, aad Laa pretty fairlytold it, in which last particular at lea3t he haathe advantage cf a good many people ofgreater opportunities, though doubtkaa ofgreater temptations also. Mr. Pettigrew iaright ia what Le evidently learned; but ha iacot scrupulously right ia Lis account cf it.We meaa Le ia evidently not altogether candid. He ia right ia sayicg that the rebela

Lave co friends ia the North worth spe ikingof; that both the Democrats aal R?pub!icar:3

are ia favor of prosecuting the war; that tieDemocrats want tha war waged to restore theUnion; that the Democrats are tho most for-

midable enemies the rebep have; and thv.taebest thisg for the rebela wiil ba the coatiau w

tion of the Republican Administration. Iaall thia Mr. PettigreT is right; bat, ia addition to all tL:?, Le learned ct least oaeother important tru h, which ho hta omittedto tell; namely, that the DemoTati.by whichcame he denotes tiiw vonaervativea of thaNorth, cot only will be satisfied" with sotne-thi- rg

short of the arbitrary subjugation of

the Southern people, but wiil neither demandnor accept anything farther than simple

to the constitution, deeming all elserevolutionary, and fraught with destructionto the liberties of the people North aa well aa

South. This truth Mr. Pettigrew Laa nottold; cay, Le Laa impliedly told the contrary.Ha is ss to thia point guilty not merely oftvppressio ttri but of rujfcslio fahi. Yet thatruth with which Le thcu deals ia tbat for thedeclaration and maintenance of which theNorthern conservatives are denounced aa

traitors by the Republicans from Maine toOregon. He nyjst have learned it first of alL

Why did he cot tell it with the re3t? Thsreason is plain. And thereby hic a Ul(aa Mistress Qaickly- - saya. He waa afraid ofita effect upoa the Southera people, whoa bodoubtless anticipated that Lia accouat woald

reach, acd whose hearts, aa he knows, secretlyyearn for peace oa the basis of the Uuioa of

the Conatituiioa. He shrunk from proclaisa- ---m -- . wmtira nartT of the

North demands nothing more. He feared toconfess the whole truth. Mr. Pettigrewwishes the rebellion to succeed; aal, whilehe could not ia common prudence withholdthe truth that the North ia a unit ia favor ofprosecuting the war, he dreaded to couplewith this truth the acknowledgment that theconservatives are at the same time ia favor ofpeace on the basja cf the Unioa of the Con-

stitution, because the two truths coanbiaedmust operate ss a powerful dissuaaioa againstthe further prosecution of the rebellion. Haacccrdic&ly ktiaiated that the North is a uaitia favor of the despotic subjugation of theSouth as well aa in favor of prosecuting thawar. The tendency of the caae aa taui pre-

sented is manifestly to goal the- - Soatherapeople into the energy cf despair, whichia exactly what the rebel leaders want toeffect, as it is exactly what the Republicanparty ia helping them to effect. The Republi-

can party ia nndeniahly a uait ia favor of thedeepotic subjugation of the South. It ia thUfact which invests the rebel leaders with

power over the Southern people. Thespell with which tha rebel leadara are nowholding the Southern people ia spokei by theRepublican party. The weapon with whichthe rebel leaders are now tryinstobaat oat fielife of the government ia put into their handsby the Republican party. Such is the actualrelation between the armed assailants of thegovernment and ita lawfully appointed guar-

dians. Tho rebel leadera certainly know whatthey are about. And we are inclined to be-

lieve that the Rejab'icaa leaders know whatthey are abont. We have been a customed to

look t pen them aa political madmen; but weare beginning to leck upon them aa conacioujtraiior3. They are in fact begiining to lookupon each other aa such and to avow theopinion. Certain it ia, that, if they are notconscious traitors, they are unconscious trai-

tors of the worst possible stamp. They areconsciously or unconsciously p'.aving into tbeLands of the rebel leaders with a vigor aadcleepeiation that render the deatructioa of thegovernment between the two a mere question

if time.It is for the people to determine at tha ballot-

-box ia November whether or not the gov-

ernment shall be left longer to the mercy ofthese allies In the workof natienal ruia anddishonor. Mr. Pettigrew discloses ths strengthand hope at once of the Union and of the re-

bellion. The strength and hope of the Unionlie in the conservative. "I ara firmly ofopinion," Le aafS, "that the Democrat arathe most formidable enemies we hare." Thastrength and hope of the rebellion lie la theRepublicans. "The best thing for ua," hedeclares, "wiJ ba the continuation or trieRepublican Administratioa."
