They, and they alone, 4 institute tlie support of the President against the Hjrbuleut (actions which assail him. If it were''not for them, tiic abolition tido would sweep My forever every vestige ol loyalty south of M taon and Dixon's line, and would involve the North in strife the consequences of which we haijgy dare name.They have from the outset been in fr efcr of a j vigorous prosecution of the war. They required ■ real vigor, such as would have characterised Jack-1 son or Douglas under similar circumstauc xJ They understood that nil talk ot emaucipatii-it, hanging and confiscation would be mere not sense in the eirs of men who, by turning reblt; Is, dated emancipation, confiscation aud hanging. To them this talk was like saying to a soldier, You may be killed if you go into battle. The aoldicr would reply, of coutse. I know that os well as you.” What was needed was men and money— actual fighting material; and this they tesoluitly labored to give the Government. Tiny stuck at once, as the Democracy always do, at the true business aspect of the situation. The great necessity of the country, Rafter Sumter fell, was fighting. That waa the Democratic view, at least—so they hii»'c gone into the fight, while cheir Abolition ooponents have gone iuio the talk. Hut they have gone into (he fig it for the sake of the Constitution. They there ore deny the power of the Government to alter the institution!; of States. The Administration has assumed the same grounds. They were obliged to do it .because they could not carry on t le war in any other way. Even the picscut Coc'res*, after the defeat ol Bull Run, were compelled to occupy the same position by the adoption of the Crittenden resolution, and to recognize, with au emphasis unknow n in our national legislation, the great legal fact of property in man. T icv could not help themselves. They were obliged to do that, or 10 make every man, woman and child south of the Ohio the subjects ol Jeff. Davis, j Theory gave way to tact, und tiie dogmas on which the Congress had carried the election were! swept awav by their first acts of legislation. Thus ■ the Democracy are triumphant, even when the ! Republicans hold the Goverunuuit. They c.iu not cease to triumph without the dest.motion of: the Government. When their ideas and spirit • no longer dominate in this terrible cris is of the nation, the end will have come.—Chicigo Timet.,3d. That, involved aw we are in this unhappy war, without oiiv fault of ours. »e having ever pointed to the warning of the Father of his Coen try against the formation of sectional parties at being dangerous to the peace and union of the country', it i? nevertheless our duty, as goon citizens. to sustain the Government iu such prop’r, legitimate and constitutional means as may beatnidicdthe4iiipUer-WitKKt ik Gl'Moritland Gap*;—Cumberland Gap is situated about ten miles from Cumberland Ford, in Tennessee, and has been :elebr.ited for a century as a great depression in t ie mountain ridge which travirses the continent roin New' II.impolitic to North Alabama. Thrjugh this gap. very similar in appearance and characteristic to the South I’a»s in the Rocky Mountains, formerly the emigrants from Virginia and Ntrtli Carolina passed on their way to the vi ’gin w Ids of the West. For half n century thousands upon thousands jvoxircl through this natura gatevny into the Mississippi Valley from tin Atlantic elopes. Boone, Kenton nnd their pioneer eon frerea, first entered the land of cane and turkey” over the pro-Ada mite turnpike. Ir really foms to this hour the best and. in fact, the only prtcti-cablo road lbr the transportation of troopw and heavy munitions of war from East Ter.tiesM* into Kentucky.—Louiscille Democrat.A Settlement After Hie War.Present appearances affunl a fair prospect thnt hy June or July next we shall have reduced thetutardoutrhotil.:e'sab-South to submission, and be left with an army ot1 seven or eight hundred thousand well trained men I at our disposal. It is probable that of this auin-1 her at least two bundled thousand will have served j under Lie rebel flag. They will, for the most,nit, have acquired such a taste foi a military e that their relish for civil occupations will be | lost, uud they will be eager for active service, no matter where. The ouestion arises, wfiat are we to do with such an immense army? Ami the conquest of Canada, of Cuba and of Mexico is at! once suggested There is nothing that the South-! i enters would like beiiei than the annexation of the last two, und the feeling at the North is *irong- r m,‘ ly in favor of w resting Canada from the power of ol j England. Cuba we could lake with a very ‘light | effort, and it would bo almost as easy to make \ ourselves masters of Mexico, while Canadau in-,no capable Of offering any resistance to tl e march of a large army across her Irontier. The few fortifications mid the handful of British troops that guard the Chief cities would be swept away like toys before the overwhelming strength of 01V invading forces. Moreover, in the conquest of Canada wo should derive moral ui. from the elements of political discord there prevailing, and the disposition which is more or less felt through* out the province foi a union with the Uni*.el States. Thus, with little more expen d than will be incurred in the suppression of the rebellion, we may achieve these great results, by which we shall largly extend our territory, add’to our national wealth mid greatness and give n formda-ble blow to both England nnd Spain, in return for jfedthehasNr*ap-Ictere-andduvwasng-liclituetiedtoutnu-ind.# OftowsralrestDO,-ectlontneytheir treachery in taking advantage of our present troubles to.

Be it remembered that we construe this into an open menace, and that when the proper time comes we shall resent it nt the cannon’s mouth.

American Minister to Switzerland, which is mainly devoted to a refutation of Earl Russell's Into speech at Newcastle, in which he (Earl Russell; asserted that ono side in America was striving for empire, nnd tho other for independence or power. Mr. Fay protests in the sironge.’t terms against Lord Russell’s reasonings, unit comptaius in general terms against j the sympathy accorded to the rebels by the Eng- I lijh nnd continental journals.The London Times editorially critiiisei Mr. j Kay's letter, and says that although ir. carries I American prolixity to lire farthest point, it is not | to be computed to the absurd and peevish utieran ' ces of Cassias 31. Clay, and otlxsr of Lincoln's diplomatists.Tho London Times, after arguing the question of slavery iu its relation to the existing cnuten, assert’ that tho recognition of the Confederate States and peaceable reparation will accoiopHsh everything which the Northern anti slavery party has been Advocating for years.The London 'Tunes says:For our own part, tee, as Englishmen, shall i under he glad lose' the establishment of the Confederate tut-throats States, simply because the political power jf the . nre here at slaveowners will be so much le?s than of yore. ’Formerly every filibuster had the whole American Uniou at his back, and he knew it. The care will be different when the country which sends him out is only a kind of Anglo-Saxon Brazil, eisily curbed iu its ambitious propensities. If the old Union hud lasted, the extension of slavery over Mexico would have been certain alter a few year#. Now, however the Sou'h will find i rival determined t*» prevent her aggrandizement The cause of justico nnd civilization will gain by the quarrel of these partners in guilt. These are some of the reasons which have influence') Europeans iu their judgment of American iflairs.They seem to be so cogent that they have never been answered hitherto, aud Mr. Fay doc* aot attempt them. Until we hear some better argument than bis we shall remain without any desire ( lr,plQS am for the reconstruction ol the Republic, which was \ women, n so completely founded on principles of slavery, as Cougre is tho government of the Confederate States, nnd 1 which was moreover able to propagate sla'-cry by aggressions in w hich the Confederate Statei alone can never venture.”At a conservative demonstration at Worcester Earl Shrewsbury, in allusion to American affairs, said they saw democracy on its trial and how it tailed. He thought separation inevitable, and predicted the ultimate establishment of some sort of aristocracy in America.Sir John Pakiugton, at the same meeting, pointed to the failure of democracy in A roerica «s h warning to England, and expressed t le eon viction that a reunion of the States was hopeles*.He wished the groat powers would temlt; nitrate against a continuauce of tho war; and, woilo approving of England’s neutrality, heregretted that Earl Russell, in bis recent speech, had not in more decided language expressed the views of England.Tlie Paris correspondent of the Independanee lielpe professes lo huve leorned from reliable quarters that the projected intervention in Mexico i» conceived with ulterior views. The time must come when the cotton blockade can be no longer tolerated, and the furthered period allotted for the game now on foot, by the North ami South to bo played. Is fixed for January next. If. At that date, tho Southern States hold’ their own their claim to joiut recognition by France and England will nssuuie such urgency that decision must ensue.
