If Barope will not lead us money he deolares that we cannot carry on tho war, and that the South will, therefore, have its independence by default, and that there will be peace on oarth and plenty of cotton in Mancbester. Alas for the nation reduced ta other way. And thus we.see the Southern people, who have been cheated and builied into rebetlion, vow Onally awakened to the trae position of affairs and eager only to get out of their #o- natural position—esger only to leave the quar- rel in any possible way, but unalsle to do it— bela down and kept quiet by a military terror: ism, by a goverament that docs not depend upon the people for its support, but only ov the bayonets of a bundred thousitod cul. throats. Tae Popular fow Yori, There are perbaps no institutions in Paria or London more attractive to the stranger or more productive of good to the government thin those which are thrown open to the public; the parks, picture galleries aud museums. The splendid works of the first artists of the world collected in the Louyre and other public gal- leries not ouly serve to cultivate a refiaed taste in the,peoole, bit ereate a vast influx of visitors from all portioas of the globe, who spend their wealth lavishly and contribute much to keep up the endless stream of life, pleasare and extravagance which makes Paris tae ocftre of all that is brilliant and magnificent. Tho forest enchautments of the Bois de Boulogne, while they attract the tourist, prove a sedative The great feature ofthis new organic law of the State lies in the article which declares that “hereatter in this State there shall bo naither slavery nor involuntary serv tude, except im punishment of crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted;.aad all persons held to service or labor as slaves, are hereby de- elared free.” Thus, on Tuesday, the 1st diy of Novembery 1864, slavery 3 to exist in Maryland; for all the slaves thereia on that day become tree— men, women and children, What the aggre gate number thns libevated will be we have ag ineans of ascertaining. According to the cem- sus of 1860, tie slave population of Maryland numbered 87,189, against a free negro popula- tion of 64.942, and a white poputation of 515,918. Frown these figures it will be ven that against a pretty stringent code of Laws for the protection of slavery, very near one bal€ the black popniation of Maryland, and dowbt- Jess in the main from ‘economical considera tions, ba@ become tree in 1869.

That the colored troops are a thorn in Jei’s side is shown by his statement that “ with flend- ish maligoity the passions of a servile race ha’ views at length the so-called peace theories of Alexander H.

Falling into the hands of the fanatical abolition leaders, ho has sadly blundered and gone astray from his original landmarks in the prosecu- tion of this war. True, he has receded from the extreme demands of the abol Marplois in some things since the suggestive State elections of 1862; but in poiut of tact, on the slavery question, he still eccupies 4 revolu- tionary platform. The eléction is upon us. The democracy, after a four years’ fast, are hungry and keen upon the trail, the shoddy re- publicaas are equally in earnest and resolved Alas for the cause whose statesmen give suc.) pateat evidence of having studied stateaman- ship in the old clo’ live! Then we had a letter from a member of tho rebel Congress—Mr. Boyce. He represents in the rebel Congress a district of the State of South Carolina. He may be supposed to represent, therefore, the Southern extremists. His letter showed that the idea had penetrated even into South Carolina that the rebei cause was a faifure and ought at once tc be given up. His letter was such as “to suggest the wish for reconstruction.” South Carolina, by the voice of one of the men chosen government more popular and more stable. The same results are evident in the freedom ex - tended to the people in London of visiting the National Gallery, the Britiah Museum, the pri- vate galleries of art and the parks, with their zoological gerdens aud horticultural varicties. We, too, bave in our grand Park a place of popular amusement at all seasons, which is the “board of bealth’” we could establish, and at the sawe time the most refining agent we could introduce into our city.

It fs said that if the government of Vern should vot | sotiafy the demands of Spain for reparation Spanieh war vessels will seize on all the ports of (he republic, aud that ntimeat over may well be apprehended between the adherents of the administration aud the oppo- sition elements. How are these apprehended dangers to be avoided? Is there a way by which we can escape them? There is.- It is plainly marked out in the constitution of the United States. According to the constitution, the Presiden- tial electors, chosen by the people in the re- spective States, hold the election of the Presi- dent in their hands. They are not bound to look at the name of any Presidential candidate on the ballots by which they may be elected. Thus they may set aside both Liaclon and McClellan, and elect # maa President whose name may not have been asseviated with & suli- tary vote from the people. And why not, when neither Lincoln nor McClellan is the choice of the people, but each is only the choice of a conclave of unscrupulous and irre- sponsible politicians. The developments of partisan bitterness in this contest are men- acing. The troubles conuected with it may not be quieted on the 8th of November. But they can all be quietly composed, and to the satisfaction of the great body of tke people of all parties, by the electoral colleges in casting their votes for President and Vice President. A man can thus be chosen whose election will give general satisfaction to the eonntry, with the assurance that the radical abolition policy will not be followed in the prosecution of the war, nor the copperhead disunion policy in order to secure a delusive peace. We adhere to these fixed conclusions: that Mr. Lincoln has been tried as President and found wanting; that General McClellan bas heen tried as general-in-chief, and that as a soldier, statesman and politician, at the head of the armies of the Union, be bas proved a failure. We hold that the electoral colleges, chosen uader the constitution to select a Presi- dent, may repudiate these two failures, and choose a President whose positive character, established abilities and great’ successes will silence all opposition, satisfy all parties, put down the rebéllion and restore peace to the country upon the solid platform of the Unjon and the constitution. TRAVELLING. —The re- Srcunrry ov Ratuway and even that very Yaukee land, Connecticut. Here is progress. We have heard the cry of peace ooming pretty loudly out of Georgia— through Stephens and others—and now we have an expression from Alabama. Governor Watis, of that State, was powerless to defend it, and convened the Legislature in extra sossion; but the Legislature would not in any way assist Governor Watts to combat the armies of the United States with Alabama movwoy or credit, or the Alabama militia. No law was passed to enable the Governor to get an army together; but the members talked of negotia- tion and peace, and debated strong resolutions to treat with the United States government in casa that government should fall into the hands of a partygeady to make peace on any terms less than subjugation. So we hear from Georgia, from Alabama and South Carolina the wish for peace, and we have heard italso from North Carolina. All the Southern States that are in possession of the rebels are divided against them, and in all there is an open and bold expression of the desire to return to the Union. All the South. ern people are tired of the grand attempt, and hate and fear the rebel leaders; and the great blow by which our armies shall finally strike down those leaders will not subjugate the Southern people, but will free them froma mnilitary tyranny more despotic than any ever known in Asia. While it is thus with the Southern people, how is it with the Southern armies? Davis has told us that two-thirds of the soldiers had de- serted the cause, and Hood and Beauregard have told ua even more in their orders. Hood declares that his soldiers straggle so that he hardly has an army at all; and straggle, not from fatigue, but only to plunder the homes of the Southern people. Early gives even a worse account. His army, by his own descrip- tion, is merely a band of thieves. Officers and soldiers are all alike, and even in the “hour of battle they break to seize the plunder, These things show, with respect to the Southern sol. diers who fought the great batties of this war, thai they no longer have their hearts or even their bodies in the struggle. Those soldiers have seen that they were deluded, that they zoological garden and a promenade all united. Visitors to the number of forty or fifty thou- sand enjoy this delightful combination of plea- sures every Saturday afternoon, when musie of the first order is done up in arabesque in the beautiful petite Moorish temple from which the strains of Dodworth’s band float ovor lake and sward and grove and valley. The metro- polis here delights to exhibit “its beauty and its chivalry” in the saddie and in the costly equipage. Love finds a solace in its shades, and labor a relief in #s soothing breezes. Aad yet the Park is but in its infancy. What it shall be when the dust of earth is all that is leit of those who convaived it none can teil. It is almost a, miracle now. Tho Pork, however, is but one feature'among the maoy which this vast city must provide for the enjoyment of its peoplo, and of those whom the love of travel and variety bring here from afar. Already there is a manifest progressive movement in this dfrection. We shall soon have completed our new Academy of Design, whose picturesque exterior gives promise of its future interior wealth of art, to which the people will be sdmitted upon terms almost amounting to perfect freedom. The art galle- ries of some of our private citizens are being enriched every day with gems of nature and foreign works, both in painting and sculpture. Toese galleries are not difficult of access upon proper introduction, and no doubt, ag they grow more affluent in their collections, the pub- lic spirit of their owners will suggest @ mere liberal admission. Before many years we may expect that some of these beneficent art col- lectors will bequeath to the people as a per- petual legacy—just as Mr. Vernon did his superb London gallery in Pall Mall—tbe col- lections upon which they bave expepded princely fortunes. We have our Opera House, where tbe lyric art of Italy and Germany finds no ignoble interpretation; theatres, where the English, French and German drama, of tho highest as well as of a medium order—suited to the taste and intelligence of the masses—is represented; and we havea perfect army of resident artists who oceupy all our concert halls, almost without intermission, from one year’s end to another. We may be assured, then, that many years will not elapse before Majority... A narrow escape.
