The nalfldCT I'latform from n He pn bl Icmn Mnndpolnt. Tt Cincinnati Gazette, in retiewio; tl resolution nJopteJ by the lUltimore Contention. concede that la ercra,! case tbej tk with th policy hieb has gorerc! the AJminn trttion. It yi they "tre rerbo? in Mjle, but not upTflooaji In iutsunce." AcJ a4J "the? ar & TerUl extension of the resolution d-ptnl by the Nation &1 Council of the Lojal Lei sue-, which t the day prerioua, itl ome tonic:, down of the aalient potoU by Un-uipe le concise anJ more dip.omtic." So it appears the actioo.of the Contention was bot an open eiprewioD of what bad leert determined upon in the fecrrt cooclaye of an .irteipocslble political organization, which, ehunning tho light of diy. re known only to the faithful. It U tireless to repeat here the warning of the pool and wi.e men of the nation that ferret political association! are the greatest foe of popular liberty and free Institutions. And in the midst of what i termed & struggle for the life of the nation, the fact is dereloped and admitted that a secret political organization u attempting to usurp and direct the policy of the government uot only, but the agent who are to represent and control it. We quote a few of the modifications to which the Gazette alludes - the toning down by the open Contention of the positions or resolutions adonted br the ecret council of the Loyal Leagues. It says, referring to the resolutions of the Convention: The fourth thanks the men of the army and navy, and declares that the nation owe them tome permanent recognition of their patriotic ro, and provision ior muse umauioj w? This ii modified from the resolution of the Loyri League, that the land of traitors should be con ßscated and granted to our soldiers, and to other, who have bee nmade indigent by the rebellion. The modification leaven out th eubsuncr, but preserves the sound. So It appears that even the Loyal Leaguers were unwilling to be put upon the record as froring wholesale confiscation. TIU modification Is a concession likewi-e to the views expressed by Gen. Fremoxt. The Gazette make the following reference to two resolutions which unequivocally censure the course or policy of the Administration in two notable instances. We quote: The elzhth resolution is for the fostering and - - . : 1 , , encouraging ol loreign lmmigTauou, nui thi nation U the asylum of the oppressed of all nations. It means that this a-vlum fhtll nut he violated at the denund of foreign tic.-potj. Il means to condemn the act which would rmke this asylum for the oppressed ia n.re, from which they were to be deliver! 4ip to their oppressors under the caprice of arljtrary power. The eleventh approves the position taken by the covernment. that we regirdhe attempt of h foreign power to overthrow an 'American republic and iet up a monarchy upon ... menacing to this nation. The only bran h ot the govern ment which hts taken this portion unequivocally U the House of Represent ivfo. 1 his res olutlon disowns the declaration of the Sccre tary of State to the French . .overnmeut in this matter, that this Government has a fixed traditional policy, "tniisht, absolute and peru liar." fastened upon it by the farewell injunction of President Washington, which binds us to nb solute non intervention in the life of the other American Republics, and that this policy "certainlv could not be departed from at this mo ment, when the existence of a local, although we trust onlv'a transient disturbance deprives the Government of the counsel of a portion of the American people, to whom so wide a departure from the settled policy of the country mn-t in any case be deeply interesting." The Government." that U the Administration, has not maintained the Monroe doctrine. Without even a manly and dignified protest, it has permitted foreign powers to violate the right of asylum.and to interfere in the affair of a sifter Republic not only, but to overthrow it and establish in its stead a Monarchical Government. The eleventh resolution can mean nothing but a confession of the humiliation ot the American people by the action of the party in power, without the manliness to condemn the men who per mitted the indignity. The Gazette eveu concedes that the only branch of the government which has stood up squarely to its traditional policy is the House of Represent -tives and that the resolution is a condemnation of the virtual abandonment of the Mobok doctrine by the Administration. We quote the conclusion of the Gazette's crit icisms of the Baltimore platform to show that even in the Republican ranks there is a return to that manliness and independence which gives some hope that eiecutive de.-potHin will be resisted in the future, and that the ten of loyalty will no longer be a blind support of all the acts of the party in power, regardless of their effects upon the true interests of the country or the just rights of the people. The Gazette thus interprets the spirit and scope of the resolutions adopted by the italtimore National Republican Convention, which certainly is anything but complimentary to the administration of Mr. LixcoLjr. The gist of all this is that while the people give a generous support to Mr. Lincoln, they reaerve their independence and their rieht of criticism of the conduct of public affairs, and they freely express their opinion that his policy requires mora directness and execution; thtt hi Administration needs more unity, consistency aud xeal in it raemhers, and that their generous confidence should be responded to by the removal of all the elements which Impair confidence in his administration, and give rise to popular discontent. If this is heeded, he can place his administration on so firm a bttis tint its popularity will uot rise and fall with mUiUry success or failure, but will be fixed in the popular confidence in its integrity and united earnestness in the cause of liberty, republic inism and nationality. ePThe telegraph and the types sometimes play smssh with the names of individuals. The gentleman who presided over the Cleveland Fremont Convention was Washington (. Snkthts, not Smithiis." as published in Thursday's Sentinel. This gentleman is the turn of the Ute Rev. Mr. SNrrur.N, o celebrated in the early h's'ory of Methodism in lndiui and the Wo-t, and was distinguished for h: zeal in lie Hanson arid Tjler campaign In 110. He was afterwards connected with ib. IV cm, iu Washington city, atjtl filled pjire ofiice under the government between lwtl and '45. He is a gentleman well posted in tie politics of the country, and will be a thorn In the side of the candidate of the con. tractors and officeholders. GiMttAL lU'KLL. We ftted a few days ago, upon the authority of the New York Herald, that Gen. Ikxtt ha 1 reigr.el his commission as Major General and rc.umed hi former pos:tioti in the regular aimy.

He quits the army entirely, and. as wc are advised, henceforth he U a citizen of lndlina General Re r it is one of the ablest officers that has served ia the Federal cause, and in civil life it will be found that he lus few superiors. Hi er vice should uot be lot ti the com try by the action of a part's in administration. The last number of the New York Independent differs with Mr. Lincoln this rau?h: "A soldier with a bayonet, walking up and down before a newspaper oGre. is not a comely sight iu a free government."

Fcr the 5Ue frct'neh The Lrc f autlljr Jllre?preeniatlorm ol the Indlnnapolia Journal nnrt Hie .leu York Time Corrected. Ma. KotToa: A friend in Indiana has sent me an article lately published in the "Indianapolis Journal," headed "A i.ice rel of men." The article is reprinted from the New York Times, and is a tiue of riti.th!e igtior.mce and malignant falsehood. It i a malignant attack

on the revolutionary family of the Lees of Vir pinia.' It says that the editor of the New York Tiroes alleges that H. H. Lee, the grandfather of the present R. K. Lee. "had the tsint of treason on him." R. H. Lee was not the grand father of the pre-! fent Gen. R. K. Lee, of tho rebel armr. (Jen. K. K. Lee's father, was (ten. Henry Lee. often I called "light hore Harry." The writers in lc Journal and Times make him Gen. Ii. K. Lec'.s j uncle. General Charles Lee, of the revolution, is sai l by the Journal ai d Times to have been a 1 relative of the Virginia family. This is a mistake; he was an Englishman by birth, and wsnot at all related to the family. Arthur Lee is mentioned as a great uncle of the preterit Gen. Lie. Arthur Lee was brother of R H. Lee: these were about third cousins to Genertl Henry Lee, the father of the present Gen. Lee. j The writer for the Journal arid Times peak of Henry Lee, who. he states, w.is a friend of General Jackson, and whom General Jackson re commeuded to the Senate as Consul to Algiers, was an elder half brother, not an uncle to Gen. R. K. Lee. So much for the ipnorance of biographical history exhibited by the writers of the Journal and X. Y. Times. We will now baierly notic the falsehoods of thcee writers respecting the persons named as above. v Whoever neits, as the Journal says the editor of the New Yoik Times does, "that K H. Lee bud the taint of treason on him," is a wretched slanderer of a devoted patriot of the revolution. For several years before the war broke out, be represented bis native county of Westmoreland in the Colonial Legislature. He was elected one of the. first delegates to the first Continental Congress in 1774 was made Chtirmau of the three leading Committees to draft addresses, to the King, to the people of Great Ilritain and to the people of the Colonies, which latter address he prepared. In the second pession of that glorious body, he was Chairman of the Commit tee to draft a "farewell address to th people of Great Britain." This address Ii. H. Lee wrote, which has always been considered a master piece amongst political papers It was the extraordinary ability of all thepe public papers, which called forth the admiration of Cha.hara and Macintosh. R. H. Lee was either chairman or member of the two standing and most important Committees of that body during the whole war, viz: Tho Committee of Foreign Correspondence and that of War and Navy, besides almost of every Committee ra:.ed from time to time - lie was for tho usual term President of Congress, which was equivalent to the President of the United States Senate now. It is true he as opposed to the present Constitution, as it c.i me fron the Convention, us were Jefferson. Henry and other leading men ip. Virginii, and in every other State, until the amendments were adopted, when hu and his boiom trienl Henry became reconciled to it. while Jellerswi continued hostile. In th first Virginia Legislature, after the adoption of the present Constitution, R. II. Lee was elected to the first term of the Senate under the present Federal Government, over Mr. Madison, by a large majority. He moved several of the amendments now a part of the Constitution. The failure of his health compelled him to resign his ?eat, and the Senate of Virginia presented him the following address by an unanimous vote, which was concurred in by the Houe of Delegates, with equal unanimity. Resolved, unanimously, that the speaker be desired to convey to Richard Henry Lee, Esq., the respects of the Senate; that they sincerely sympathize with him in those infirmities which have deprived their countrv of his valuable services; aud that they ardently wi-h he may, in his retirement, with uninterrupted happiness, close the evening ol a life in which he hith so conspicuously shone forth as ;i statesman and a patriot; that while mindful of his iua:y exertions to promote the public interests, tuey are particularly thankful for his conduct, as a member of the Legislature of the United States. (See life of R. H. Lee, p. 0123 ) Such was the patriot, whom the editor of the New York Times and tho editor of the Indianapolis Journal, either in pitiable ignorance or despicable malignity, traduce. It is in scorn, 1 would state to these men, at this day, that R. II. Lee was the mover of the immortal motion for independence Gen. Henry Lee, the brilliant cavalry oflicer during the revolution, ws the father, not the great uucle, a.s stated by, the editors mentioned. After the eloe of the war, he was elected Governor of Virgini t. und then a member of the Congress of the Confederation. He was a member at the time of General Washington' death; and was appointed by that body to deliver before it a funeral oration on that event. The classic eloquence and the pathos of the oration delivered by., him, arc well known bv every jutelligent, and felt by everv reader of sensibiltv. lie was the author of that happy summary of W a.-hington a character, t-o much admired and so frequently quoted, "First iu war, first iu peace, first in the hsarts of his countrymen." As it regards the attacks upon him in Mr. Jef ferson's 'Ana," 1 would refer the reader to the scathing reply by his son, the late Major Henry Lee, and that of his other son, C. C. Lee, to Tucker's life of JeJTerson. It is enough to add, that Gen. Lee enjoyed the intimate friendship and confidence of the good and great Washington, until his death. As I have already stated, General Charles Lee, of whom the editor of the New York Times and of the Indiana Journal tw eaks, was not "a kinsmau" of R. H Lee was in no degree related to him, or any branch of the Lee family, of Virginia. In regard to him also, these slanders have exaggerated the incident they mention, regarding hisquariel with Gen. Washington. In such a light did Congre-s regard his previous conduct and ervices, that they presented to him five hnndted ac res of the finest land in the Valley of Virginia. The liexi member oT the family attacked is, Arthur Lee, a brother of R. H. Lee atd Francis L. Lee. both the last named, being signers of the Declaration of Independence. This brother, (A. Lee.) was n lawyer in Imdon, and the triend und associate of Sir Win. Jones, and other celebrated persons of that day. When the troubles and discussion concerning Colonial rights commenced, he was made by the Legislature of Massachusetts, agent for that Colony, and so ably and faithfully did he conduct their ailairs, that that body presentedl.ini with a large and valuable tract of land. As soon as the war commenced, he was joined in it commission to France, with Dr. Franklin and Silas Doane. Dining hisreideuce in France, he was made Ambassador to Spun, and als. to Prussia, where he was treated with maiked rcjpect by Frederick the Great, and allowed to purchase arms in the l'russian fouuderies, then the best in Europe. On his return to this coun try, be was thanked by Congress, and soon alter wards appointed to the Hoard of Treaury, of which he was for several years, an able, upright and distinguished member. It is true, he differed from Dr. Franklin n two subjects, the character of Silas Duane, and a leading article of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce with Fraoee. All that he charged on Duane, who had been upheld ai d applauded by Franklin, turned out to to true, and Duane tied to England and died there With regard to the nrticle of the treity with France, which was ap proved by Franklin, Congress agreed with A. Let, and "struck out the article. If he was Impracticable in his temper," it was only towards traudule:tt agents of the public, who cared more for their individual interests than the general good. l ue ignorant editor ol the Times, and his servile copvist, nxt attack the memory of the laic Major Henry Lee. the eldest son of General Henry Ia'c of the Involution, and half brother of (ten. R. E. Lee, of the Confederate army. These veraciou editor state the late Ms). Henrv Lee to be the uncle of Gen. R. E.

He wrote the address of the Jackson committee al Nashville, of which the partisans of the On era! o muco boasted.

Bo.-rox, May '27. lbfrl. Dear Sib: I deeply regret that it is out of my power to attend the Cleveland Convention. Allow me to suggest one or two things which I hope to urge on its attention. Without denying what the friends of the administration claim ttfat it has done something toward crushing the rebellion my charce against it is that it has not done half that it should aud could have done toward that CDd, had it u?ed the means in its hands, with an earnest and single purpose to close the strife thoroughly aud forever. It has thought more of conciliating rebels than of subduing them. It has arowcdly forborne the use of lawful and efficient means, (towit, the abolition of slavery,) until it was thought indispensable, and even then it has ued it in a half heated, halting way, wishing to save the feelings of rebels. We had three tools with which to cruh the rebellion men, money and the emancipation of the nero. We were warned to be (juick and sharp iu the use of tiie.-e, because every year the war lasted hardened the South frvm a rebellion to a nation, and doubled the dangerofforeigninttrferer.ee Slavery has been our geat trout a in the past, and, as every man saw, was our great daneer in the future. Statesmanship said, therefore, seize at once the Godgiven opportunity to end it, at the same time that you, in the quickest, shortest and cheapest manner, annihilate the rebellion. For three years the Administration has lavished money without stint, and dienched the lend in blood, and it has not even vet thoroughly and heartily struck the slave system. Confessing that the use of this means is indispensable, the Administration has used it just enough to irritate the rebels, and not euough to s.ve the State In sixty days after the re: ellion broke out. the Administration suspendel habeas corpus, on the plea of military necessity justly. For three years it has poured the treasure and blood of the country like water. Meanwhile, slavery was too pacred to be used; that w;ts paved, lest the feelings of rebels should be hurt. The Adminitra tion weighed treasure, blood, and civil literty against slavery, and ud to the present moment. haa decided to chaust theru nit before it uses freedom heartily as a means of battle. Mr. Lincoln' friends tell us that if he is reelected, he is re electel to pursue the same policy and obey the same cabinet. What will be the result of another four ye us of such policy? Uuless the South is recognized, the war will con tinue; the taxation needed to sustaiu our im mense debt, doubled br that time, will L'rind the 1 iboring men of the North down to the level of the pauper labor of Europe; and we ehall have a government accustomed to desX)tic power for eight years a fearful peril to Democratic institution?. Mr. Lincoln's mode of reconstruction is the experiment in Louisiana, which puts all power into the hands of the unchanged white race, source by defeat, hating the laboring class, plotting constantly for aristocratic institutions. To reconstruct the rebel States on that model is only continuing the war in the Senate Chamber after wc luve closed it iu the field. Such reconstruction, leaving the South with its labor and capital of war, puts the payment of the whole debt on the industrious North, and in that way it will hang on us for a century. Such reconstruction makes the freedom or negio i and perpetu ates slavery under a softer name. Such rccon struction, leaving the seeds of disconteut and division iu the South in places of power, tempts and facilitates another rebellion, at the instiga tion or with the aid of French Mexico. Such reconstruction dooms us to a second or third rate place among the nations, and provokes foreign insult and aggression. There is no plan of reconstruction possible within twenty yean, unless we admit the black to citizenship and the ballot, and use him with the white as a basis of States. There is not in the rebel States sufficient white" basis to build on. If we refuse this method we must subdue the South and hold it as a territory until this gen eration of white men bus passed away, and their sons, with other feelings, have taken their places, and Northern capital, energy and immigration, have forced their way into the South. Should we adopt thatilan, and wait for these changes, twenty years must elapse before wc can venture to rebuild States. Meanwhile, a large and expensive army, and the use of despotic power by a government holding half its territory and citizens as subjects, make every thoughtful man tremble for the fate of free government, a quick and thorough reorganization of States on ti Dem ocratic basis, every man and race equal before the law, is the only sure was to save.the Union. I urge it not for the black man's sake alone, but for ours fur the nation's sake. Against such recognition of the blacks Mr. Lincoln stands pledged by prejudice and avowal. Men say. if we elect him, he may change his views. Fo'sibly. Uut thtee years has been a long time for a man's education in such hours as these. The nation cannot afl'jrd more At any rate the Constitution gives us this summer an opportunity to make President a man fully educated. I prefer that course. The Administration, therefore, I regard as a civil and military failure, and its avowed policy ruinous to the North iu every point of view. Mr. Lincoln may wish the end peace and freedom but he is wholly unwilling to use the means which can secure that end. If Mr. Lincoln is re elected I do not expect to see the Union reconstructed iu my day, unless on terms more disa-trous t liberty than cen disunion would be. If I tum to (cu. Fremont, 1 see a man whose first act was to use the freedom of the negro as his weapon. I see one whose thorough loyalty to democratic institutions, w ithout regard to race whose earnest and decisive character, whose clear-sighted ft itv-mänship and rare military ability, justify my confidence that ibis h inds all will be done tJ save the State that fore.-ighf, skill, decision and statesmanship can do. I think the Convention should incorporate in its platform the demand for an amendment of the Constitution, prohibiting slavery even w hcie in the republic, and forbidding the State to make any distinction among their citizens on account of color or race. 1 think it should demand a reconstruction of States as speedily as povble, on the basis of every loyal man, w hite or black, sharing the Und and the ballot. Hut if some of these points are not covered, I shall U support its action with all my heart, if it put the name of Fremont or IlutUr ou its flag. Fremont is my first choice, but I can support cither of them: nd this.au hour of such peril to the republic, that 1 think men should surreuder all ptrty aud personal partiaiiir, and support any mm able and willing to save the State. If the Ilikiroore Convention shall nominate Mr. Lincoln, then I hope we shall fling our candidtte's name, the long honored one of John C. Fremont, to the breeze, and appeal to tho ptri otism and common sene os me pop.c to sue ! hs from another such three years as we have! seen. It i the contrary, the iUltimure Con-i ven'i'tn fhall ghe us the name of .n.y man whom ( the radicals of the loyal Susrs c;:s tru., I l;iJrc we shall be able to arrange some j.1 m which will !
