It would also hang every loyal representative of the press, rf it were not for th? protection -which the milita ry afford. After their withdrawal, the same reign of terror that existed during the war wiH be re?cmed if the government leaves them to themselves GOT. Holden cannot ho elected cavil Gov ernor thia foll without the aid of thia rebel influence, heneo he is shaping his course ac cordingly, and he will be cautious not to dis please them. Gov.

There es-n bc but little doubt that final action upon grave ie 'sues of State policy with referenco to the at titude el these people, growing out of the re cent meeting held ID New York city, will bo determined upon after the return of th ; Pre sident and Mr. Stonion>o Washiugton. It is expected that the effect of this meve meut wili be to- materially change the ap proaching Congress, which assembles in De cember, sud which, were it to assemble now, would nc; peeve very tractable upon several issues of national movement. THE MOHBOE DOCTRIXE.-The aptness al ways displayed by the New York Herald io falling in with the popular current, gives-im portance tc- ?ts utterrances as expressing tho prevailing sentiments of tho North. After advising the Western powers to M stand out of the way," pronouncing upon what will .happen, in the improbable.event of their de clining to do so,it says : Thin, without warning, the Senate will de clare war ; tba President will call for a.mill ion of meo: our veterans will take down their muskets; the Secretary of the Navy will pro vide transports and a convoy, and before the Mews of the declaration of war reaches Fra?c? the .first shot will be fited and the first'battle wou. After M?xico will come Canada, and after Canad*." will, come Cuba The crash will be heard, like Horace's tb ander, frqm a clear sky. Epglaal,.France and Spain may combine; ot thor may fight us separately, but the result in either case will be the same. We warn Napoleon, Palmerston and Navaez of these facts of the'future in the beBt posBii bio spirit abd in tho interests of peace. ?>r thermo feisen we urge them to accept the adjustment we propose. The end will be the ?itru-; it is simply a matter of choice with them aow wo shall reach ?t, by treaty or by war. The American people have just shown how .-i .cere ?bey were in saying the Union must t ) preserved, They are equally sincere in tbe statement that the Monroe doctrine int:st J maintained.
