Thaddeus Setveno, the Abolition leader in Conp-esa, eays "to evroacE ths Covscripti6: Law is out or the question," and yet he and every other Aliolitionwat in that body, Bave Conway, of Kansas voted for that unjust, op-' praasive and unconstitutional measure. The Republican leaders, who are advocating the enforcement of this law with such i ntem perate zeal, expect to pt clear of fighting by paying $300; but the poor men of our country, Repub-Jicans as well as Democrats, who cannot raise $300, are to be forced into the army at the point of the bayonet. Court Bewi. The Washington National Republican contains the following official announcement: - DKS9 Recfptions at "the Executive Mansiox. Exwutive Mansiim. Wasliington, Mairli 6, IHhJ. The uual public receptione leinpover for the wimhi, there will I Satur Jay .tteriVoon dre reception until April 1st, commencing Saturday, March 7th, trom one to three o'clock." That will be interesting intelligence to the Alolition eite as well as the ' free Americans f African -descent'": who -..fawn around the Court Circle" at Washington J But the poor men of our country,' who cannot raise $300 to buy themselvea free from Lincoln's conscription act. cannot "shine" at these V dress receptions" at the White House. The American Dictator. The last number ot Harper's Pictorial Week ly, an intense Abolition publication, says of the late acts of Congress : "The President of the United Stares has, in effect, been created Dictator, with h1 most supreme power over Iilerty. property and life a powr nearly as extensive and irresponsible as that which is wielded by the Emperors of Ilue-eia. France, or China." This is true to the letter. No prince, potentate. Ling or monarch in the Old Worl'l, exercises half the tyranical power that Abn.-hani Lincoln does. There is a thousand times more9 freedom flnffTfar 'ln HrerTartncaV'Eiig land than there in 'in the-United States. Charles I. had his head brought to "the- block for lighter oftienrea s gainst the rights and Iit-, erties of his subjects than King Abraham has exercised towards the freemen of the United States. .. Portrait of CoL Gilbert, Our readers will recollect that a certain Col. Gilbert not long since caused a Democratic State Convention, at Frankfort, Ky.. to be dis persed at the point of the bayonet, and for so doif be was latuled to the t-kies by tne editors of the monarchical Abolition papers in this State. The 1'inriiinwti Tunes, a violent Administration pa r (through a cor respon deat,) now speaks ot Col. Gilbert in the fol lowing style: You mv look ont for the entire Federal force to le in Covington before Sal iirdav "night, unless some Orderly Sergeant is put in com- nand here, for the ireent comnnnder Coi Gillertl is perfectly incomitent. He has not the confidence or caiiacitv to command a sin gle officer or soldier, and if ten reikis were to demand the surrender of the city, he would grant it. There are, probably, not short of 15.000 Federal troops hereabouts, nearly '5,000 of them mounted, and the utmost limit ofthe rebel is less than seven hundred." Atrocions Sentiment. - Morrow B. Lowry," a Republican Senator from Erie County,- in the Pennsylvania Legis latnre. and who is acknowle.lge.1 to be a leader In ihat body, recently uttered the following atrocious sentiments, in a speech delivered in hi Dlace in tne oenate. we have seen no ooiufewnttion of these sentiments in the col timns of Republican newspaper: ' I said further that were I commander-in : chief, by virtue of the war power and in obe dience to the customs ot civilized nations and in accordance with the laws of self preserva tion, I would confiscate every rebel s property whether upon two legs or four, and.: that would give to the slave whb would bring me his master's disloyal scalp one hundred and cixty acTes of his master's plantation ; nor - would I be at all exacting as to where the - ecalp was taken off, so that it was at .some point between the bottom of the ears and top of her loins. This. sir. was my language long . before Fremont had issued his immortal proc-; lamation. The logic of events is sanctify ing daily these annointed truths. Father forgive.

" - . of the Federal Leagues Of- 1708, when the " black cockade" was worn as a badge of loyalty" to the government; of George -III, of Englantl. The "Alien and Sedition Laws' of those days were mild compared with some of the acts ofthe late Abolition Congress. Judge Baird env-8 . " , In 1798, and ibr considerable period before, there was great excitement in the public mind, caused by , Byin.paiby;. with the European troubles.

There was, bo doubt.' Mich a part),- but how numerous was not known. It was, however, thought to be on the increase, and measures were taken by the federal dominants to suppress it. ' They accordingly abused those who wished ts Lor ilia t nt ! iMi I tmvvpr in lhi ha nrl ofthe peopleV and. in contempt and demion, callel them " Democrats," a term brought trom dis- turbed France. - " To r.nt down these alleged -"disunioi.ists."

In the town of 1 Washington, there wen only thirteen niea who refused to join the league or wear the symbol j of adhesion, Mv father was one of these,; and if it would not displease One of your oralors" to see his father and grandfather placed in this lave. I would say that John V uson and David Acheson were of this number. At this period there were in the whole Uni ted States about one hundred and eighty news- nsiters and onlv twenty ot them ventured truly to express the Hiblic mind.

Committee ot investigation may be appointed and report unfavorably on their conduct; Congress - may censure them, the community at large may execrate them; but they remain tranquil under th infliction, in the proud consciousness of their pecuniary in- I deiendence.

There is no doubt that "Ohioans" have been writing such stuff to Washington for malicious and malignant purposes. To show how much truth there is in it, we copy the following extract front his 'speech . to his friends in Dayton, on his return home. He said : y ... , - . - , - . ; ,- . "He was for obedience to all - laws, and for req uiring the men in power also to obey them , tie would try all questions of constitutional law before the courts, and then enforce the decrees of the-courts. - He was for trying all political questions by the ballot-box.- He would endure almost every ot her wrong as long as free discussion, free assemblages of the people, and a- free ballot-box remained; but the moment" they-we're attacked he would resist.

The Chicago Tribune, one ofthe most bitter and malignant of the Administration papers, I'n its issue of March 21, had an article evident ly intended to prepare the min is of the people for a long war. We make the following ex tracts from it : "Anr miu trim Lnnwa n v tlilndr at.-. oil nt .

After this reference to a twenty and seven years' war, it expresses the belief that if we end the struggle in Jioe years it will be a nroud I achievement. It professes, however, to believe that it will come to an end far sooner. On the whole, the picture of the Tribune is not an en couraging one. Cin.Enq. v A High-Handed Outrage.

Though the inen "are in excellent spiriis, and eager for the fight," the boats were delayed two or three days longer than was intended in in consequence ofthe insubordination of the hien and their opposition to make a southern trip at this season of the.year. Several 'regi? inents of Qui in by 's division refusel positively to embark on the boats, declaring their opposition to the war as at present conducted, and announcing their intention of going - home the first opportunity. Two or three days were necessary to get the men aboard; the boats and and then they had in many instances to be taken there at the point of the bayonet. As they were being marched to the transports, many an unwilling fellow, who was obstinate enough to regard the freeing of the negroes ee poor pay for the hardships he had: endured and would still have to .undergo," in spite of ir. .incoins assurance tnav -ruture genera-lions would rise 'upland' bless him : for. it." would sing out in stentorian voice, Yon' can take usto?Vicksburgh but we won't fight."

One company in' ah Illinois regiment nnmlered fifty four men when it started from its.. old camping jgrotin?- two miles of town. The march., was .made that short distance, and on the boat the Captain called his com nan y together to see thev were all safe, when lo! only six men could rfoahd!

This feeling did not pervade the army prior to the issuing of Mr-Lincoln's proclamation', freeing the negroes and employing them in the army. . . 0 - Telegraphhs Correspendenee Bally Commercial. t- Prom ; Memphis Parragut'i Ironnslads Above .

The movement origina ted with the most eminent constitutional lawyers in the country, " including two from the West, and is in the hands of men whfjHe char acter for decision and firmness as well as for courage, is a sufficient guarantee that they will carry it-through.-. L very intelligent man is aware that the crimes committed bv the executive and his utter inability to conduct the affairs of the nation even in atimeofpeace nave lurnisneq ampie grounds tor nis trapeacn-inent; and every 4 true patriot will rejoice to learn that he 13 to be brought to punishment. The first draft of articles of impeachment is already drawn , bp. - It embraces charges which if proved against Queen Victoria, would bring her to the untimely end of Charles 1. The English people would not have endured the outrages on their rishts to which the American people have patiently submitted. No English King would have dared to violate the Englisli constitution as our President has violated the constitution ofthe United States. On this point the decisions of the Supreme Court, delivered here last . week, will open the eyes of the people who have been deluded into the belief that the subsequent action of a corrupt Con gresA could legalize unconstitutional acta of the President. ; Chief Justice Taney. and Jiist ice Clifford, Justice Catron, and Jus-ticeNelson said in their opinion : "A war cannot be lawfully commenced without an act of Congress. The right ; of making war be longs to me supreme. or sovereign power ot a nation. By our constitution this power is lodged in Congress. ' No power short of this can change the relation from peace to war, And, in speaking of various unconstitutional acts ot the President, these same learned judges said:, lhese acts are constxtuUonaUy voul. io SUB8SQUINT RATiiriCATlo-v 'bt' Congress casi KAClTBtl VALID." " Drafted 2en' in Chains. - It is enough to make the blood boil in every freeman's veins, to read the following, which is taken from ' the Detroit .

J he tendency of these men to sked aldle, has compelled the authorities to be very strict with regard to them. Hence We noticed that some of them with wild eves, and dishev elled locks, and seedy garments, also wore iron bracelets upon their wrists. . Are we living tinder a Constitution, design ed as its founders . declared, "to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our pos terity ?" The Constitution has been . slaugh tered by those who were sworn to support it and we are in the midst of a war, carried on. by cheating ; contractors and political swin dlers. The war under its present mismanage ment, is so obnoxious that menywill no longer volunteer in the service, and it has become a military necessity,", we are told, to hunt up freemen at their homes and firesides, load them with chains, and "with iron bracelets on their wrists." send them to - the1attle-field.

In a late address before the Democratic As sociation of New York, Hon.. James W. Wall. late United States Senator from New Jersey, said: " - It is a question that we often ask in New Jersey : Why is it that the renegades from your Democratic ranks 'John Van Buren,' and groans. whose voice is still for war, and like hotspur's lord, "'Shine sobrbk and smell so sweet. And talk so like a waiting gentlewoman, Of guns and drams and wounds ; . GotI save the mark ! why is it these warlike gentlemen continue to fight the air, after the manner of the Olympian Games, on your platforms, instead fighting the enemy in the field T I Laughter. 1- They are able bodied men, and, if t heybelive iuiTjhetT hearts that vigufima uiwecuuun pi me war is necesBary to save the Union, it is their boonden duty to show their faith by their works, and hie them to the field." : - . That is a question we often ask . in Ohio, and we presume it has been suggested, in al the States. ; It is a singular fact that the ultra war men ate in practice the greatest friends o peace Before they who howl so loud, about traitors in the North would go to war. they would see the contest end in the recognition of the southern Confederacy. Cut. .nf : Those home, patriots never go nearer the seat of war, than paymasters, contractors, and the like. Thejtalways manage to keep well to the rear, where they can plunder without danger, and cheat the poor soldier out of his dearly earned green-backs. They make bril liant' .charges upon the money chests of the nation, but only tfeinta upon the rebels. So it would appear. . From the Hartford Times.
