Those States have spoken for the Union under the consti- tution as it stands, and not for a new Union, involving firat the Southern slavery secondly, the reduction of our rebellious States to the condition of territories; and, lastly, their extirpation of by fire and sword; reorganization under new boundaries, and a new constitution or general government upon that fundamental abolition idea of political negro equality. And as in these late elections the public ver” dict has been equally decisive against secession sympathizers and abolition disorganizers, ao it will be in the elections to come. New York will sustain the judgment of Ohio, and Massachu- setts will be apt to show that her people have had enough of such abolition heretics as When the current of public opinion sets in in a given direction it goes irresistibly on. Nothing can arrest it or divert it from its course, except the removal of the causes creating it. The public mind is alive to the exigencies of the day. It fully appre- ciates the sound patriotism of President Lincoln and the difficulties of his position; it fully en- dorses the lofty and admirable statesmanship and sagacity of Mr. Secretary Seward, and the calm and consisteat, but intlexible, Union course which he has pursued touching our do- mestic a3 well as our foreign relations. But this intelligent public opinion at the same time points out to President Lincoln the rocks and shoals of danger, and we may feel assured that he will not disregard them. The voice of the people in these late elections approves the course which he has thus far pursued, and urges him to adhere to bis great and paramount idea, “the integrity of the Union,” and the elections of November will strengthen the general ex- pression of those of October. Our abolition disunion radicals are already condemned by the people so far that the ad- ministration, the army and the country may now push on the war harmoniously; and so, between the army of General McClellan and our Empire State, we hope that the good work of crushing out our Southern rebels and North- ern abolition fanatics will be virtually accom- plished in November. Evouish Operatives on INTERVENTION—WELL Done.—We have often taken the ground that, while the pampered and insolent British aristo- cracy are with our Southern rebellion, the working English masses are for the cause of the Union. A most striking illustration of this fact was lately furnished in a public meeting at Staleybridge, England, “called for the purpose of considering the necessity of petitioning hor Majesty the Queen to take immediate measures for the reeognition of the Confederate States of North America.” Accordingly, at this meeting, Mr. John Bam- ford offered a resolution in favor of intervention to any extent, “in order to arrest, if possible, the indigence and pauperism now closing upon us”—that is, upon the operatives of the manufac- turing districts of England. Mr. Bamford had, doubtless, been cocked and primed by some Southern secession emissary, perhaps by Mason himself, whose impudent letter to this meeting we published the other day. But the honest workingmen of the assemblage were not thus to be humbugged. - Mr. Billcliffe,in an excellent speech against intervention, brought down the house, and, finally, Bamford’s resolution being indignantly set aside, another by Mr. Hodson, by a hundred voices to one, was adopted, de- claring “ that in the opinion of this meeting the distress prevailing in our manufacturing dis- tticts is mainly owing to the rebellion of the Southern States against the American consti- tution.” Here we have the ring of the genuine metal— thé’ general sentiment of the working classes of England. We know, too, what this means. The aristocracy of the kingdom would like to inter- vene in this way to insure the destruction of this powerful nation of ours and its popular in- stitutions; but they are restrained by various powerful drawbacks, not the least among which is the fear of a rebellion at home. We say nothing of Ireland. We refer to this outspoken sentiment of the English masses against this Southern rebellion. Looking to this single element in our favor, we have no fears of Eng- lish intervention in behalf of Jeff. Davis—none whatever. Tae Kearny Lerrer.—The fact announced in a telegraphic despatch from Washington yester- day, that letters are in existence from General Kearny, written subsequent to his famous com- munication -to Pet Halstead, eulogizing the military qualities of the very officers whom he caricatured and abused in that most unaccount- able epistle, does not at all-astonish us, That letter bore all the inherent evidences of having been written in a spleneti¢ and irritated mood- The later onéé ire, wé understand, to be publish- ed. Such a letter as that to Halstead would ne ver have been written at all if it had not been for the encouragement given to it by the radicals in Congress. By continually interfering with our generale—unduly praising some and as un- justly depreciating others—they destroyed all esprit de corps among our officers, and infused animosities and jealousics among them which have unfortunately produced worse fruits than this silly effusion of » disappointed man. An end, however, will now be put to all this. Once the President is emanci- pated from the tyranny of the radicals, he will take care that discipline is rigidly enforced in the army, and that there shall be ng fi io terference by the politicians wie ties dnd prerogatives as Commander-in-Chiet. Tue State ov Detaware aNp tux Drart.— The action of the little border State of Dela- ware, in response to the call of the President for an additional 600,000 soldiers, is ourious and commendable, having given her full quota with- out conscription. It is a somewhat singular contrast to see the State of Massachusetts, the embodiment of republican and abolition senti- ment, obliged to resort to a draft to fill up her quota—after her Governor declared so bombas- tically that if an emancipation proclamation was issued the roads of that State would swarm with soldiers hastening to the war—and to be- hold at the same time the slave State of Dela- ware cheerfully furnishing her share of volun. imal is nearly @ milliog lows eLurt of what it showd 4 Secretary Chase, in his shallow and oortly Guau- | twors to the new levy without compulsion.

Have Wea Poltticn] Patriot Among Bet Hiatory abounds in examples of disinterested patriotiem. There was Curtius, » fine, band- some young Roman, who rode his charger gal- lantly into the huge gap caused by an carth- quake, and sacrificed himself and his horse under @ patriotic but mistaken idea that he could thus save Rome from destruction. There were the Horatii, who boldly offered themselves as their country’s champions, fought most courageously and came off victorious. There was Leonidas, with his Sparfin band, who barred the advance of their. enemies through a mountain pass, first by their bravery, and then by their bodies, and so became immortal. Avy historical student can furnish, at short notice, the names of a hundred such patriots among ancient and modern heroes, Are wo to find none among our present politicians? Have we, or have we not, a political patriot among us? Here are two very clever gentlemen, General | Wadsworth and ex-Governor Seymour, who are desirous of locating themselves in the Guberna- torial chair of this State, at a time when the ne- cessities of the country demand a unanimous Northand a single, great, conservative Union party. Both of these gentlemen are fully aware that they are not acceptable to the majority of the people. Both of them understand, also, that they. are not even popular in their own parties. Thurlow Weed and that Little Villain, Raymond, did not hesitate to tell Mr. Wadsworth, even after his nomination, that be was not the candidate desired by the con- servative portion of the republican party. Prince John Van Buren and other leading democrats were equally candid with Mr. Sey- mour, and assured him that he was not the man for whom they had expected to work and vote. Mr. Wadsworth knows that his nomi- nation was forced upon the Republican Convention by poor, erazy, ragged Grecley, who used the President’s emancipation proclama- tion to terrify and belabor conservative mem- bers. Mr. Seymour knows that his nomina- tion was forced upon the Democratic Con- vention by old’ War Horso Purdy and tho corrupt managers of Tammany and Mozart, who shrewdly prevented a ballot—which would have defeated Seymour—by insisting upon a nomination by acclamation, and then making agreat deal more noise than their numbers authorized. Both Wadsworth and Seymour are aware that Major General Dix was the candidate for Governor on the slate of the conservative republicans and on the slate of the Albany Regency. Both are aware that Major General Dix was the predestined and foreordained candidate of both conven- tions. Both are aware that Major General Dix is emphatically the candidate of the people, of all classes and all parties, while they cannot be ignorant that Wadsworth is the candidate of only the Tribune office, and that Seymour was nominated by a vow et provterea nihil, and is sup” ported only by a few candidates for Congress and their friends, who are also candidates for the Assembly, or for something else. Now that General Dix is to be put in nomination by the Federal Union party, why cannot both Wads- worth and Seymour retire gracefully from the contest, into which, like incompetent briga- diers, they ought never to have entered, and thus make the election of General Dix unani- mous? Such an arrangement would be satis” factory to both political parties, and to the great loyal Union party of the people, and it would make Wadsworth and Seymour forever immortal as political patriots. Surely, all things considered, immortality is dirt cheap at such a price as this. We do not ask Seymour and Wadsworth to imitate Curtius, and leap into the gulf which now divides the Union. Too many brave fellows have thrown themeelves into that gulf already, without at all filling it up. Nor do we ask them to draw their swords and become their country’s cham- pions, like the Horatii, or sacrifice themselves, like Leonidas and his compatriots. We know our men altogether too well to make any such sanguinary proposals. Wadsworth, although a brigadier general, has evidently no stomach for a fight. His only battle was the first Bull run. He prefers attacking Mo- Clellan to attacking the enemy. The atmos- phere of Washington is much more con- genial to him than that of the battle field. He thinks it much better to be a military governor thana military hero. He can manage emanci- pated and escaped contrabands much more easily than he can marshal martial squadrons. He becomes the champion Horatius only when the civil authorities interfere with his inevitable Africans and attempt to return fugitive slaves to their lawful, loyal owners. He is a Leonidas only when it is necessary to guard the passage to the negro jail against the sheriff's peaceful posse comitatus. Seymour, not being a briga dier general, might possibly be a warlike man; but he is not. His opponents accuse him of re- treating to Michigan at the first rumors of war, and employing his destructive faculties only against the non-combative trout. If he ever offered his services to the government, it must have been in the style of Prince John Van Buren, who expressly stipulated that he was not to be ordered to any place where he inight become excited, as excitement was erous to his health, and that he should be at pérfect liberty to resign at any moment when his principles, his politics or his skin was endangered. It would Useless for us, therefore, to call tipon either Wadsworth or Seymour to become a patriot by means of war like exploits. We offer them an easier immor- tality, and insure it to them, without their risk” ing life of limb i obtain Tt. All they hare to do is to resign in favor of General Dix, the real war candidate. We only ask them to get out of the way, and we give them immortal fame as areward. This, it will he perceived, is paying thé highest wages for the least ) Work. ane insist Bh FeBiaining en ey sing forced to retire by ¢ ‘ole, without any immortality at all to compensate them for the loss of office. General Dix will certainly be nominated, and, if properly put before the peo- ple, he will undoubtedly be elected. What will become of Wadsworth and Seymour then? If General Dix should decline to run, then Sey: mour will probably carry the State by « large majority. The contest looked the other way some time ago; but the conservative triumphs in Pennsylvania, Indiana, and especially in Ohio, indicate @ popular revolution, which reduces Wadsworth’s chances considerably. Western New York generally goos the same way as Ohio, as it is settled by precisely the same class of men. This revolution, there- fore, will naturally extend to New York, and, if so, Wadsworth must suffer. The extremists of all parties are now h@teful to the people. If General Dix consents to run, such a popular revolution here may elect him, If he does not run, it will probably elect Seymour, in spite of ’ the ‘bad political company he keepa and the just unpopularity of his chief supporters. This atate of affairs is a good exouse for the resignation of Seymour, and a better excuse for the resigna- tion of Wadsworth. Is cither of them a patriot? Which of them will be the first to withdraw from politics, sacrifice himself for his country and be immortalized?. Doa’t let them both speak at once. Taz Turse Covrsk ox Lovacry—Guvenat. Dix ror Governon.—Outside of the old hide- bound parties of the day, a new organization, styled the Federal Union party, has just arisen in this city, and issues the following call for a State convention:— Tho cloctors of the State of New York, without dis” tinction of party, or which of the old parties they may have sympathized with, who deprecate the attempt Bow being made VM the politicians of the old political parties thrust upon the people in the present canvass, during the troubled state of our country, strict party lines and dangerous and alarming issues, tepding equally wo wexken the government in its efforts to vigorously prosecute the war and to speedily ori ah out, the rebellion, aud to frustrate the desire of the people at this time to make manifest their firm devotion and support to the adminisira- tion in its offrts.to accomplish that end, and who are now willing to forego all old party conventions, and to bury all past differences and prejudices in oblivion, and rally in mass to the support of the government, by supporting Gen.

Let Wadsworth decline, let Seymour withdraw, and let the peo- ple of the Empire State present a united front in support of the administration of Abraham Lincoin, as represented by General Dix, and there will be an end to all these party divisions and feuds which threaten to involve us in riots: bloodshed and inextricable confusion, if not speedily arrested. Between Wadsworth, repre- ‘senting our fierce, fanatical and remorseless abolition radicals, and Seymour, as the nominee of the old rotten Albany Regency, the masses of our independent people, honestly identified with the war and President Lincola’s conservative war policy, have no candidate for Governor. The call of this new political organization, cutting aloof from all old party distinctions, and willing, in the support of the government, “to forego all old party conventions, and to bury all past differences and prejudices in oblivion,” fully meets the exigencies of the crisis; and upon this platform, to every honest Union man of every party, the name of General Dix for Governor will be acceptable. If our republican radicals, after their instructive de- feats in these late élections, will still adhere to Wadsworth, and if the democrats will still stick to Seymour, let these independent supporters of General Dix try his strength before the peo- ple, and the stone which, on both sjdes, our old party builders have rejected, may become the head of the corner. We hope that the independent “Federal Union party Convention,” called to meet at the Cooper Institute on the 28th instant, will be largely at- tended, and that it will inaugurate a genuine Union movement, which will give the tinishing blow to the Wadsworth disunion abolition fac. tion, and shut up the old junk shop of the Alba- ny Regency to the end of the war. Tus Axato-Conreperate Raw Upon Our Commence.—We are constantly meeting with paragraphs in the English papers stating that such and such vessels have been purchased and are fitting out for the service of the Confederate States of America. Our Minister, Mr. Adams, has frequently made representations to the British government in regard to these facts but has uniformly been met by Lord John Russell with the answer that he could not in- terfere with private enterprise, but that our vessels could capture these piratical vessels wherever they were to be met with. Now this would be all very well if it were not patent to the world that the government and the ruling classes in England sympathize with the tebellion. We require uo better evidence of this than the fact that all the aid that it has bad in vessels, arms and ammunition since the commencement of the war has been received from them. Although France occupies precisely the same position of neutrality, in no instance have we been able to trace to her the despatch of an armed vessel or of supplies to the South. We have only to put a hypothetical case to show what a gross violation of good faith and of the Queen's neutrality proclamation these pro- ceedings on the part of our English cousins con- stitute. Let us assume that our shipowners were to fit out ships for the Chinese rebels, for the purpose of preying on English commerce. Had Mandarin Ward chanced to be on that side, the idea would in all probability ere this bave been suggested to him by the conduct of the English in the present war, and acted upon by some of our keen Yankee speculators. We can imagine what a howl would be set up by the English journals at such a state of things, and what energetic reclamations would instantly be made of our government. Let the English put it to themselves how they would feel if Mr. Seward simply gave them for answer that he could not interfere with private enterprise, or that our authorities could Fiot dct as a police to enforce the law of nations. _ Pay or tat Dean Soupmers.—There are nu- merous complaints concerning the dilatoriness of the Paymaster’s Department in settling the claims for arrears of pay due to the families of those officers who have died in battle. While living officers, whether in heaith, sick or wounded, draw their pay with considerable facility, the dead, who Rerificed all for the Soifhiry, are put back upon an interminable list, and their families have to wait for months before they receive a dollar of the amount for which the government is indebted to thé dead soldter. system does more to discourage reoruiting than any other cause; for while men know that, if they fall in defence of the country; their wives and children may suffer want for an indefinite period, at the same time that the government owes them arrears of pay and bounty—earned at the cost of life itself-- they have but little encouragement to enter the ser vice. The same is true of the mode of allotting pensions to the widows of officers killed in action. As the system works now it may be ears before a widow receives her pension. We ha to see these errors speedily remedied. Red tape should not be permitted to.encircle the coffins of those gallant heroes who have perished for duty’s sake, nor keep the bread from the children they have left behind them— the helpless wards of the country and govern- ment for wiigh they laid down their lives, Tun Faevow Gaveea, Forey w Mextoo— Hw Fowo at rae Unirev Srares.—The proola- mation of General Forey, the French Minister Pienipoteatiary ig Mexico, as well as the com- manding general in the fleld, was published in Suturday’s Hxnaxp, It is a dooument which, for its impudent audacity, deserves the atten- tion of our government, as may be seen by the following extract:— Tt is not against the Mexican people that I come to make war, bats agrinst « haudful of men, without scruples | and without conscience, who have trampled upon the rights of mon--hayé governed by the means of the moat sanguinary systetn of terror—and whe, to sustain them- selves, have not been ashamed of selling to foreigners, pieoe by piece, the territory of their country. * * * * It ig not the policy of France, on account of » personat interest, to meddle with the internal disse sions of foreign nations; but when, for legitimate reasons, abe finds herself obliged to interfere, it is always in the im- toreat of the country where she exercises her action. Remember, Mexicans, that wherever ber banner floats, as woll in America as ‘iu Furope, it representa the cause of the people and of civilization. In this denunciation of “a handful of men,” “ against whom General Forey says he comes to make war, is implied.an attack upon the people of the United States; for are they not “the foreigners” to whom the Mexican government sold part ofits territory? If it be a crime and a cause of war in the Mexican government to selt this territory, it is equally a crime in the United States government and a cause of war to purchase the stolen territory. The procla, mation of General Forey is, therefore, an in, sult to the American government. It seems, according to this general, that the French ia the only disinterested government in the world. We are assured that it is not the policy of France, “on account of personal interests,” to meddle with the internal dissensions of foreign nations, and when she does interfere “it is always in the.interest of the country where she exercises her action.” It was, of course, en- tirely with the design of benefitting the abo- rigines of Canada that France seized that ooun- try long ago. Napoleon L. was not ashamed to sell Louisi- ana for a consideration to the United States. . He did so solely for the interest of the inhabi-” tants, and had no idea of French interests. it was from the same motive that General Forey aided in the conquest of Algeria, when, among other means resorted to, the Arabs were in large numbers smothered in a cave by lighting a fire at the entrance. This was of course done with a good “conscience,” “for the interest” of the Arabs, and it was in “the cause of civilization,” and it was quite the opposite of “a most sanguinary system of terror.” It was purely for the welfare of the French peo. ple that Forey played his part in the infamous ~ coup d’etat, whereby the liberties of France * wore struck down at a blow. It was solely for the benefit of the Italians that Napoleon III. entered upon the Italian war, and for the same reason he now occupies with his troops the Roman territory. It was solely for the benefit and the interests of Sardinia that the Emperor of the French appropriated Savoy and Nice, without paying a dollar for them. We paid for the Mexican territory more than it was worth- He had no “scruples” and no qualms of “ con” science.” France has unlimited license to carve slices from other countries; it is only to the American republic that it isa shame to acquire territory. Now we should like to know what concern it is of General Forey how much territory the , Mexican government may think proper to sell, or how much it may please the United States to buy. We do not recognize the French flag on this continent as representing “the cause of the people and of civilization,” but the cause of despotism and the thraldom of the Mexican people, by taking a mean advantage of the United States government when embroiled in domestic troubles. But when those diffcultie® are disposed of then let imperial France look out for the heavy retribution that awaits her, The American republic will teach her yet that she must confine her encroachments to the other three quarters of the world. Her flag has no legitimate business on American soil. Tax Beastiy Prixcrrtes oy Grexter.—Dur- ing the last week Greeley has been writing a series of abominable articles in the Tribune, ad- vocating an inundation of negroes from the7, South as the one thing needful for the North» and particularly for Illinois and other Western States, and at the same time dilating on the benefits and beauties of the amalgamation of the black race with the white population. The Irish and German immigrants, to say nothing of native laborers of the white race, must feel enraptured at tho prospect of hordes of darkeys overrunning the Northern States and working for half wages, and thus ousting them from em* ployment. They must feel still more deiighted at the idea of their daughters and sisters being - given in marriage to the wooly-headed ebony strangers. Grecley feels that there is some” what of “a prejudice” against the mixture; but’ with the gentle persuasives that the radicals and fanatics propose to use to bring all men over to their ideas, it is possible that such unreasona Die and unnatural prejudices will be overcome- For does not Greeley hold that Adam and Eve were jet black, and that the white race are their “bleached,” degenerate descendants through Cain, while the original color was transmitted through the line of Abel? The object of Greele; the radicals is two. fold. Firyt, frofii a gro , filthy, beastly and unnatural instinct, they desire to bring the white race down to the moral and intellectuals physical and social level of the blacks, by com- mingling their blood, thus destroying both races, and producing a mulish breed inferior to either. Secondly, they propose to elevate the blacks to political equality with the whites; to wake them members of the State Legislatures, embers ef Songiin, foie Is Wa aad Presidents of the United States. They want them, moreover, for political allies, to keep them in power by their votes. And, after all, this is but the logical conglusion from the pi mises of “liberty, fraternity, &ftniity,” whieh they claim for the aad the Javobins of the French Revolution decreed this status for the blacks of St. Domingo. The bloody scenes that followed are without a par- allel in history. The Jaeobins of Ameriva, de- sirous to re-enact those scenes, make the same claim for the negroes, and avow their intention of asserting it by fire and sword, even to the extermination of the white race of the South aud such of the white race of the North as may offer them opposition. But the rising tide of conservatism will inake short work of Massa Greeley & Co. These bestial amalgamation ideas were firat introduced into the country by Robert Dale Owen, the infidel, and Fanny Wright, who started a community in Tennessee for the fusion of the races, The same depraved fanatics who em braced those ideas have since run mad on Wo. man’s Rights, Fourrierism, Agrarianism, Froe Love, Graham bread, the Maine Liquor law, the Sunday law and spiritual roppings, They f
