The Indiana System Adopted id Mary land. The Indiana syMem of abstracting Democratic votes from the ballot-liox, oroufy counting out one-half or one-third of the Democratic ballots deposited, was carried on to perfection in Maryland, at the late election on the adoption of the Slate Constitution. The Den-, ton (Maryland) Journal says : In counting out the ballots in this district, but 47 votes apiteared " agair st the Constitution," whereas eighty nine voters, whose names appear upon the poll lookrf, have certifier; and propose to swear that they. voted "against the Constitution" Independently of these eighty-nine names. Win. Hrad ley, Kl ward Saulsbury. H. W. Carroll, Jas. T. Richartlson ami Jas. Langrell are known to have voted in like manner making ninety-four votes cast. The eighty-nine voters referred to have published a card, with their names attached, that, they voted against the Constitution, tin t are rcdy to make affidavit to that effect.

Poye, of : South Carolina, long a member of Congresa. from that State, has written a letter to'refT f ferson Davis and anlong many noticeable things, he aays : , ! I admit, in the first place, that a suc cessful military defence is indespensable. Without that nothing can be anticipated but utter ruin. IJut is this all? .1 think not. There is something over and abore success in. war. . That is po litical policy. If Mr. Lincoln remains in power, there is no hope of accomplishing anything by political policy. Mr. Lincoln is the exponent of the fanatU cism and hatred of the North. He. holds power because he is the exponent of these sentiments of Jiis party; in order to be master of others, he has to be their slave. He cannot be rational upon the subject of slavery, because he represents madmen : Tie cannot exercise what Burke calls th3 truest political wisdom, magnanimity, because he represents malignants. Besides, Mr. Lin coln is committed by his past career to the most violent course. If he had been a statesman when he became PjrwMdent, he could, by a wise policy, have restored harmony. But in that great crisis, when statesmanship could have accomplished so much, he used no efforts to harmonise, but yielded himself up a mere instrument of the foolish mob, as if statesmanship Came from below upward. Mr. Win. H. Seward, by'Tiis speeches made in the winter of '56, shows that he comprehended the policy 4 of conciliation, but just at the moment when it became necessary to put m force his fine maxims, he found no use for them. Mr. Lincoln's mode of carrying on the -war, his emancipation policy, the license he gave his armies to commit the greatest outrages, shpws that he relies on nothing but force. 1 confess, therefore, I have no hopes of MrLincoln as a pacificator. I should as soon have selected Charles IX, to pacify the Huguenots after the massacre of St. Bartholomew. But fortunately Mr. LinfiOln and tho Urnh.A nnt all of the North.

But we have other and equally reliable testimony. ; Read the following extract from the letter of Hon. Ilerschel V.

He says : - : I look with anxiety to the approach t - a t 1 f4 - a ing Presidential election in the United States. -.--'For, although the Ghicago Platform falls below the great occasion, and the nominee still lower, yet the trir umph or the Democratic party of the North will certainly secure a temporary, suspension of hostilities and an effort to make peace by an appeal to reason.- They confess that four years of bloody war, as a means of restoring the Union haa proven a failure They declare that the- true principles of American government have heen disregarded and irampieu unaer ipot, Dy tne present executive "of the' United States.

It shows that the wari stt far as relates to restoration of the old Union, is a conspicuous failure, and has managed tor convert ; the old Unionists into armed rebels. We have gained in territory, we have secured important strategic positions, and put. an end to. whatever commerce the South may have had; but at the same ttme w have thoroughly alienated the hearts of its people from ourselves and from the old Tj nion' which wc both once professed to love'.' This is a natural result of the policy which we urged upon the Government, and which it at last adopted. ,-. The removal of Buell and McClellan because of their lenient treat ment of the Southern population, arid the infusion of a more stringent policy, had the pro-: per "effect on the enemy. Instead of treating the Southerners as misguided friends, to be won back to the old love, they were instructed to treat them as enemies, for such they were to the great principles of freedom, if not to the Union itself. Hence it is that wherever our armies - have marched thejr have made enemies of those whom they found to be friends. Take the case of Tennessee, for example. -When our troops first entered Nashville, and Still later Knoxvillc, the Unionists in the State gave a rapturous Welcome to the dear' old flag and the men under whose protection it naa iwi Wmv w tUeir state How changed is all this now! Thev who under the rule of Jeff Davis and his crew sighed for the return oi- the old Unoin, and waited long-and patiently for the gleam of federal bayonets, enduring meanwhile a system of oppression : that beggars description, these men and women are to-day the bitter est rebels in the South. Jeff. Davis has no warmer allies than' those peoples And if a rebel invasion of East Tennessee should ever be practicable, it is safe to predict" that the old unconditional Unionists, and followers of Andy Johnson and Parson Brownlow, would give the Confederate troops a welcome everi warmer than that which they gave our soldiers at the first. - - - The Shenandoah? Valley is another case to the point. Gentlemen who accompanied General Banks on the first expedition dp the valley, state that the inhabitants, as a general thing,- were not hostile to the Union; the active young men were mostly rebels, but the great majority of the residents were either indifferent to the result of the contest or warmly devoted to the cause of the Union. To-day it is doubtful whether a single Unionist can be found south of Winchester, and so bitterly hostile are the people that it is impossible for any but a very large army to march any distance without being utterly destroyed by the resident farmers in the guise of guerrillas'. Even on the road from Washington to Richmond,-which our armies have traversed again and a train, there is the same state of affairs. The two hundred thousand Union oraves who have made the soil of Virginia more - scared than ; it eter was before they sacrificed their lives to rescue it from the grasp of secession", are no protection, to the opponents of secession. Not a spot but is in tested by guerrillas, and hardly does our army move before the rebel fiends appea"r4in its roar to. murder' whom they can.I do not call thi3 Union sentiment... ' , : : Now, my ..friend, what is the result of all this ? Shall we giv up the war ? By no means. Shall we. change our policy? That is,tip. longer possible. Shall we enrresder the Government to the pro-slavery Democrats? Forbid it, Heaven I; .We have had.enough of sla very an'd . slave-hunters. : What then - is the course that we must adopt?.It-answer deliberately, and in full view; of all the facta before me, that we must adopt the policy that Cromwell - proposed to Ifeland' and - which would have saved that unhappy country' from years ;'of nHsery and horror, A 'We - most exterminate the adult population ' oi8 the South.

So dit and dUappar' they tnutL flh great powers of Europe have been for two hundred years trying to conquer Poland. . She stands, ready to begin, a . revolution to-morrow. The great Russian Empire was fighting for thirty years a few barbarous tribes in the Caucasian Mountains ; it found that the only method to -accomplish its purpose was the corapletextirpatren of jthe inhabitants. Alexander followed the ex ample of Cromwell, and he waawiaelth doing so. . There, are instances inJiis-tory of races being conquered, but, like the old Saxons; UVas necessary to'lfeep ttiera in absolute servitudepand c whole generation had to pass awayl before it was safe to cntrust them with, freedom, much less with citizenship. I need not remind you that the Southerners are of the same vigorous stock as ourselves, and never would submit to a state" of slavery. Nor should we think for. a . moment of such a thing. The spirit of the age, the glorious principles of our party, now inscribed, thank God, upon the nation's banners ; the teachings of Christianity and the hopes we have Tor the future, all alike forbid us from eyeii harboring the thought of such a course. . This may 'afford you a glimpse of what we are coming to. We shall se- . cure the next Congress without a doubt and with itI think the re-election of Mr. Lincoln. You will know what weight to attach to my words wheri ' J say that I am satisfied that he realizes ; not only that this country cannot remain half . free and half slave but that there can be but one solution of the vex ? ed problem, "and that by the total elim ination of the white population of the South. This will involve, at least, a thirty years' war: National bankruptcy will be inevitable, because we can sustain no farther strain upon our finances. At least half, if not two-thirds, of the . able-bodied men will hate to give up their lives ere wo reach ythe end. All this,-1 firmly believe, is in store for us if we pursue the. policy which I aver is Hx axut tbat wo ruifrhl ti pnranfl. - .. Will you flinch, my friend ? Do yoti know of a single man that will?
