Although the various acts- passed and to which we hare refered all received the approval of the President, yet he -o intermixed them with placable ex case and prom:-- to conservative men, that many were in ii ult abnt hi- real sentiments especially in riew of his recall of Fremont, and reprimand of Hunter, because of their abolition proclamations. Tet, at length, a step wan taken which, for the first time disclosed the length and breadth of the PRESIDENT'S POLICY. It is no more nor les than general, universal abolition abolition to be effected by the toil and labor and sweat, through untold years, of the white men of the North : to purchase and set free the ignorant, lazy black bondmen of the South. The proud Anglo Saxon race are to make themselves their children and their children's children, to remote pencrations, .- tu the tax gatherer ; and for what-; to satisfy a sj uri(.n- fanatical philanthropy fo satisfy a craving dedre, of puritan origin, to attend to every man's affairs except your own. To make good a ÜN political maxim. "That a government can't stand half hvee and half free. " On the 6th of March 1862 (Cong. Globe, page 11U2), the President in a message proposed to Con.Tess to pass the following joint Resolution, which in subtance was passed. That tbe United States "acht to co-operate with any State which may adopt irnuiuai abolishment of slavery, giving to ach State pecuniary aid. to be used by such State in its di -eretiou.to compensate for the inconveniences, public and private, produced by such change of system. Again: upon repudiating Hunter's proclamation, the President renewed his suggestion, and yet arain. to the border slave State men, and in sending in a Nil to both houses to that etl'ect. Cong. Globe 3.323. July I t. 1862. It w..uld appear that this was the wild dream of one man, and yet it was approved by a majority of Congress Republicans, -o that it has become the doctrine of that partv. Cong. Globe page 2907. June 25th, 1862. It is open to many objections : 1. There is no authority conferred upon tbe general government, by the Constitution, to become a lave dealer to buv anil sell, or buy and free the slaves of any of the inhabitants of any of the States, or of any other government. If, without such authority, we can be com;. 11. d to buy the slaves of any of the States of this Union why not those of Cuba or Braz il ' Where is thi- thing to -top ? We have shown that on this question of slaverv the several states are as independent of each other, and of the general irovernment. as if thev w EM a fiT.'L-n nation. Where is thi- fab-e philanthropy to end. but in our own degradation. It is a faNe theory that we can -n-tain the '- eminent by disregarding the Constitution. This is MM than t':e (Cesarean operation, by which the life of the parent is often sacrificed to save the child ; becau-e here the death of the Constitution would destroy its otispring the government. 2. It would create a debt wc never could pay. The valne indicated by Congress in the bill abolihi:ig slavery in the District of Columbia. i. three hundred dollars per head and this sum is not near the average value of slaves before this war. There are about four millions. That would irive twelve hundred millions of dollars. To earn- out of the country and provide a place &c, for them would co-t over one hundred dollar- per head more which would be four hundred millions of dollars being together sixteen hundred millions of dollars. We already owe as we will hereafter show, about fourteen hundred millions of dollars. A million! Reader do you readily comprehend the magnitude of the number- .' The Sun is computed to be ninetyfive millions of miles from the Earth not one ,-ixt enth t the aL"rr L'ate -urn here named. It is calculated that if there was a railroad track from the sun to the earth, and a locomotive should oirstart, at the ordinary seed, from that point to this, and make no delay between joints, that the new born infant would grow to man's e-tate live his three score years and ten his son might succeed him his grand son, and yet his great in-and son murht each live his allotted time upon earth, and still neither of them would be here, to witness its arrival. With the vast debt thi- war has involved ns in, it is not pretended we could pay for these negroes for yexrs to come; it is then fore, projosed that we shall give United States bonds bearing interest. At six per cent, sixteen hundred millions would be ninety-six millions. This would be over twenty-six hundred and fifty two horse wagon loads of silver, one ton each, that would be our annual tax to the slaveholders of the South. It would In- a beautifnl sight to -ee, each year, the blood, and sweat, and toil of the white men of the north gathered into a train of two thousand six hundred and fifty wairons, fourteen miles long, as our tribute to the fell demon of abolition! May God in his infinite mercy -avc us from such a fate, and snch a - igrht. Against -ueh an ih-urd and wicked projiosition the IX-mocracy of Indiana now solemnly MMMt Ab-urd, because ir is imro--i'de to accomplish it and h ave u- free men. Wicked, because it would necessarily make the white rare -laves lor the Marie: which i- in direct anraroni-m with the decree of providence and order of nature. The white rae is the superior the black the inferior. If any rhite man thinks the negroes is his equal, we will have no controversy about it with him. Perhaps -o far as he is concerned his theory miirht be admitted. Believing wc an- the superior race, we on- not willing to be taxed for the benefit of the inferior, to the extent of buying him. and supporting him in idleness. For it is well known that with the netrro. the idea of freed m i- alwav- a--iiatcil with exemption from labor. 3. If freed he conld not mine among u. as heretofore shown. He could not remain where he is without then- being a war of races, in which the one wonld eventually extinguish the other. The sceny of Sr. Domingo would lie re-enacted. In St. Domingo, the standard in place of a flag under wiii.li the slaves fought, was the body of a "'' .j'i 4 itn- a!- d ii'-on a -t:ik-. Edward Everett's oration at an anti-John Brown meeting in Boston. See also Brown's hitory of that Island. No civilized christian can, without horror, contemplate snch a scene. A barbarous abolitionist, like Giddings, would glory in it. I would not be understood as desirintr a servile insurrection; bat I -ay to Southern gentleman, that there are hundreds of thousand- of bone-t and patriotic men who will lauzb at your calamity, and will mock when your fear cometa. See p. 160 of Giddingt' Book of Sjieeehes. 4- If in some of these things we are mistaken and if the negro would be permitted to remain in this country, and to come among as, in tens of thousands, and would labor then the competition would reduce the price of labor the wages paid, to a mere nominal sum. And with all our civilization we insist the contact between the white and hla' k laborers, upon terms of equality, would bring nothing but evil in its train, to tfie whites. These an but some of the many reasons that mi.'ht be urcd against this admini-trati n scheme. Can it be asserted as an undeniable truth, that if the Pre-idcnt had notified the people, in advance, that this war was to be prosecuted to effect these several aholiiion schemes : that not one third of the soldiers now in the field and those lyinr beneath the clods of the valley, or whose bones are bleaching on distant battled -scarred fields, would never have volunteered. Did they not as true patriots lovers of their country rush to the Standard to fight for tir Constitution, not for abolition. Let us turn for a moment to other questions connected with the prosecution of the war, and ee if the aetioti of those in power has been squared with the treed of Jefferson as to the ax trau of tcexonv. It m a tru'h a shsmefiil iruth that there is not a single ofheer ot the Administration who can. or i I he can who will, in his official -late meets, even approxim ite to n estimate of the amount of our itnletitedness. The truth I. there 1- none of u who know anything it. We can come within a hundred not nearer. drim' Ahni J- p. am.

But if it is not for the use ot the soldier, and is to salisfv unjust tie mauds, then the toil worn tax-paver should hold to a strict account the men in authority who, in addition to the immense sums neeessarilv raised for the war, have carelessly, or criminally, suffered unjust debts to accumulate. Tbe appropriations for the Army alone, for the year beginniiis the 1st of July, 1 62. are at the rate of for each soMier, ussaMMf that we continually have a standing army of over six hundred thousand men. ami the expenditures have been at I greater rate lor the past year. Tbe soldier don't get it : every man knows that. What becomes of it? Who takes 't? Is it stolen? Committees raised by Congress, and Commis sioners appointed by the President, have reported facts es' ablishing a system of bare faced rascality, in handling the money of the people, that never had a parallel iu any Christian nation. Some el them, it h presumed, are of so monstrous a character, that the President has refused to have them published, by respondinj: to a call to that effect, that the public interest forbids Official duty, obligation, and oaths, have been but ropes ol sand in preventing officers of this Administration from seizing the public moneys. Public contractors have in every possible way cheated the Government the people; and thus delayed the war. Scarcely an article can be named for the use of a soMier. or an arm v. that the tinker of fraud lias left unharmed. Wagons, horses, provisions, clothing, camp equipage, arms, ammunition, have all been furnished of a worthless character, at enormous prices, through the perfidy of paid officers and inspectors. Inquiry has been, to a great exte.it. smothered, and punishment ': no .-,i-e . . ' . , ,!.- ennee lion in the illegal transaction can be traced directly to those in authority even to members of the Cabinet, as shown by the report of the Naval Committee of the Senate, and the speech of Senator Hale. The Chairman of an Investigating Committee declared in his speech, in the House 7th of February, 1 -b:?: The mania for strähne appears to have ran through all the relation-of ibe Government. Ali;.t from the General to the drummer boy, from those nearest the throne ot power Cabinet officer- 10 the mere-t tide waiter.

I .' ,nd So D iwes, of M 1--u hu-etts. -t ites that the evidence shows plundering in the first year of Lincoln's Administration to an amount greater than the whole expenses of Buchanan's Admin istr ition for a year.

As helore stated, the-e frauds have been traced to members of the Cabinet so strongly that one Cameron resigned, alter wlreh. the House of Representatives passed a resolution censuring him but showed their servility by refusing to censure Wel'e- ter he was et in power, with patronage to bestow. With these facts staring him in the face, the President, instead of causing offenders to le pun ished. with a kindness towards Cameron truly re freshing, assumed his uMMfthj act-, and appointed the offender to still ore iter honors. No in in is prosecuted, no man is naisbed for the crimethat blacken humanity itself that starve ant) freeze our brave soldiers that leave them, as the 7th Iudiana was left, to trace the road with blood from their shoeless feet, in puisuing the enemy. But we are told. "It is no time now to inquire into the-e things " Better say, "It is no time now to steal." So loyal man will steal from his Government dirc-tiv from the soldiers indirectlj; and if any man does he should he exposed. that he may be punished, if the authorities will mete out punishment, and it not, that he may be known agid avoided as one employed in the bu-i i,e-s of aiding the rebellicn A Committee un War Claims, whose reports are, by the President, to a great extent refused to the public, have shown that Senator Simmon, of Rhode Island, an original no compromise man, has been selling himself that is. for his influence with the Administration in procuring a contract for his friends at high rales, thev were to give him a part only fifty thousand dollars one dol lae on each musket they were to make. It would le supposed by all honest men that such a knave and hypocrite would be kicked out of the Sen ne at once. He is a Republican a majority ot the Senate are Republicans, but we believe not thieves. Still they shielded this thief, and thus made themselves parties to his crime. Having thus briefly, ye- briefly indeed, trom the vast material that is before us, considered the points proposed to tie included, we are preparel to examine whether, in our judgment, the course pursued has been the proper one. CHAPTER IV. It is clear to u that every wise and cool -head ed st itestii in. who had at heart the "perpetuity of our government and the integrity of the Union," and who. as each we!! informell American no doubt did, fully comprehended the rnuxf which had operate! to produce the excited .state of feeling that existed, at the time Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated; would at once have seen that both faction- miiet br rrftuttiutrd. That which desired to strike at slavery through the Governmental authority ; and that which claimed the right (o withdraw States troni the Union to avoid such expected itttack. The last named faction v.'as threatening to place itselt in opposition to the government by open war. The other was preparing to sap the toundatioLS hv subverting the Constitution. Each should have been placet! at defiance by a firm, manly stand upon the "Constitution as it is and the Government as it w is" the government of our lathers. The result would h"e been that the lovers the trur friends of the Union would, every where have rallied to the support of the government. Faction w iuld have been rebuked disarmed. The leaders left without followers. The great conservative masses of the people, North and South, would have controled The bonier slave States had retu-ed to secede and would have been with us. Seven extreme States woultl have been lei' . : even the mitfht have been saved at an eolier neriod from withdrawal. Thi- would have put the base of operations the line f contest, south of Arkan si-, Te:.ne-.-.ee, and North Carolina; and, better than ail, would have given us the cheerful support of those, and all States North of them. The Gulf States seeing this union of the free, and division of the slave Slates, would not have proceeded to the extreme of m iking war, lor the rse of the strife the anticipated ultratsm ot tlit new administration, would have been removed, and no excuse Mu!d have ssiaM I bj which the leading u -urt ers could have rallied the people The Executive and Legislative branches of the Government forgetting party for the time being, should have leut their winde efergies to put down both faction-. Indeed that w is osttiwibly the position assumed by those in power, and the cry of "no part " went forth, ns I eretofore shown. But it was, so far us abolitionists were concerned, the false and simulated cry of the Panther, to deceive and delude. Their adoption of Mr. Crittendeu's resolution, on the day after the oattleof Bull Run. was the result of a general tcare. and did not express their real principles, for proof: i I have no doubt there are f entiemn here hi favor of I sMayilfiiwt, and were from the rlrat, because almost vi cry thing that they have done since then, halt Indicated, that that was their original Idea.

To the reverse of this the administration has lent a willing t ar. until, saj Mr. Wickliff r.f Kentucky: "It is now the avowed doctrine of the majority in Con(rress, whether they are elected aa Republicans or Abolitionist-, that this war shall not c a-e,uorthe I'nion be reStored, until every slave in the I'nited States hall be I emancipated." Letter Jul it '.0, lsK. And as a con-eqnence of Conre-s having embodied their partisan, abolition views in Itws, we have lately had an alarmed Southern border fro-n the uprising nf people in Tem."ee iOid Kentucky and which shadows forth but the beginning of the end, if such abolition course is persisted iu. Hut. -ays a zealous home war man, a contractor, or a Federal officer, "Who would compromise with traitors with arms in their hand.-!" Let hislory answer. During the Administration of Gen. Wa-h''ngton and we believe he wasa greater mn than Mr. Lincoln an insurrection broke out in we-tern IVn-ylvania. He sent, aye. accompanied, an army to put it down The proper course to he pursued was debated in his Cabinet. It was a matter of serious consideration, because, as early aa iiiid-ummer, 1794. several c unties iu western Pennsylvania, Virginia and Maryland organized opposition to a law of the United States, termed ihe excise law and men in lanre numbers, in one instance a manv as 7.000 arme; meuSjiad assembled at various time- and places, seized the mails, assaulted ami maltreated the United States officer-, burnt -ome uf their p'opely, and otherwise set the laws at open defiance. Men were killed, manv wounded. Pre-idcnt Wa-hington raed out the militia of Petin-ylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia to the ntimler of lö.ono. "The movement of the troop- was fixed for the flr-t of September. Meanwhile, three commissioners, appointed by the President, Senator Ko , Bradford the Attorney General, and Y te-. one of the Supreme Judges of the Slate of Penn- Ivania. were dispatched to the in-urscnt counties with di-cretionary authority to arrange, if )..- hie. any time prior to the 14th of Sept.. an effectual submission to the laws." ,v- Hildrrth ' xfory fthe C. 8 , SSt 1, 2d .-;(. 49- fo .116. formtm in foil.

Ö1J-13. So when an in-urrection was threatened in Utah, by the Mormons, but a few years ago, an army was sent there by the General Government at an immense expen-e, but eccompanied by commJBJMH (Lazarus Powell nd lien McCulIoch.) to adju-t. if possible, the differences. They did adjust tlieni. and our army returned, as in t'.e instance under l a.-hington. without striking a blow. So Douglas said on the lath of March, in the Senate: "Have we a government is the question : and we an- told that wenn;-; tet the .pitioii by u-itnf the military power to put dow n al! discontented spirits.

Port UI KOVEBKKlMTT. In the free States the question that, more than any other, agitated the public mind at the las; presidential election was, whether the people of the Territories should determine for themselves as to their domestic institutions. Notwithstanding thecry of "no party" by the Republicans they have paed an act striking down this rlgh', aj.d Torbiding the people to exercise it in all the territories now, or hereafter to be, formed. Thi- they have done directly inthe face of the "no party" cry by wbich they raised an army to sustain an administration in power, tbe election of whom produced thi war, because doctrines bo-tile to this principle were held as we hsve already shewn. It was to be hoped that, a- these men in their extremity, cried out "no pariy" tbey would in good faith have acted it; and not have in.-ulted their political opponents, upon whom they have called for help, by requiring them to tiijM, under Lincoln, to sustain the very doctrines sgaiust w hich they had contended, under Douc la-. But so it is th "no party" cry was intended to apply to democrats ah, ue not torepul licans, that they might carry out their partisan views in Congress, a id democrats must abandon theirs and go to war to sustain men thus false to their professions.

For twenty -0r years following the adoption of the j Constitution, there was a fierce contest as to the federal I power. Alexander Hamilton, the rider Adam-, and all that-chool of politician-, insi-ted upon construing that instrument soasfoclothe the federal government with almost kingly, or unlimited powers iu other words that each g"v rnnient possessed all power not " !. Jefferson and others C 'iiteiild that it possessed no other powers, under the Constitution, than were thereby gntutel ex-pr.-sly, or by fair implication SS necessary to sustain tho.-e powers so granted. 0 pon this doctrine the democratic party was rounded by Jefferson. It was thought to have been acquiesced in ly all parties. See speeches of Clay and Webster cited, and Derision of Supreme Court. Now. under tin- administration, the old rno.ini. doctrine is revived at 1 arn d U Thal i-. that the general government may do any act not expressly furbiddrn by the CMMM1M hence we -re revived nil the tyrannies of the adminstrat'on of John Adams and now being ex-erci-ed by ihe i're-i.laiit and Iii Secretaries: w ithout even the tonn and decency of requiring an Act of Congres-to authorize Mich ppcredings.

Tho-e few instance- of depth .ltioti of personal liberty, 'or opinions sake, consolidated the Democratic party under Jefferson and put Adam out of power. From that time until ih-" first year of ; lie present administration, no ruler ever ventured to puni-h his fellow, in this country' (it is often done in France and An-tria) for entertaining politi cal doctrine- al variance with the ruling power.

The weather has been dry and hot and rain is greatly needed. Vegetation is thoroughly dried up iu ail Ulis region of country, and it lias been impossible to prepare ground for wheat it is so dry and hard There have been rains in other places during the month, and the eastern slope of the mountains have beeu visited with heavy rains. Military affairs still continue to interfere with the general trade of the city. The Merchants' Exchange continued to be occupied by troops all the week and the members met on the street and in some adjoining balls. 1'bis interfered with business and deranged commercial affairs to a extent, l ite movements of the rebels in Kentucky still causes uneasiness and want of confidence. There has been a good local demand for flour, and the receipts being light prices ruled a hade higher. The orders regarding traffic in liquors were modified so as to admit ot the sale lor shipment or lor manufacturing purposes, but the demand is irregular and light. None is being manufactured, as the Government officers ate not yet prepared to inspect aud collect the duty, so that the excise or tax law , so far, is in effect but theoietically. The supply of corn and oats has been better and tbe market for both is dull and prices are lower, excepting old oats wbich are scarce aud iu light supply aud in demand owing to the fact of their being greatly superior to new. Rye is very scarce and is up to 6()c, aud in some cases 65c is asked. There is liaully any barley atfivfay, and there is a pressing demand lor it at DfÄ. The short crop is the cause of this. There is a buoiunt feeling in the hemp market, and rough is held at $105, and dressed at $175 The news from England, which we publish above, will lead to great excitement iu this article, and a rapid advance in prices. Butter and cheese are very scarce, ami full prices are being realised. In the provision m.trket but little has been done; some bulk shoulders sold at 4 and smoked at4?4'c, but 75,000 lbs. advertised for by the Government, to be packed in boxes, were furuished on Monday at $4 61 4 67. Mess pork is held at $(J 25(3 9 50, but none could be sold at over $9. Bulk meats are neld at 4 and 4?4c,aud smoked at 5 and J?4c; clear sides at 6tac; but
these rates are meiely nominal, bugar cured hams advanced to l'Jc, and very few to be had. Common ham- would bring 9c, ami summer sug ir cured 10c.

Salt advanced to 45a50o under the excitement growing out of the occupancy of the Kanawha Valle by the rebel-, and the reported destruction of the sali works by out troops, but the latter proving to oe incorrect, tbe feeling at the close was less buoyakt, anil the demand was limited.

We le.irn from the Seventh Congressional Ditrict that VooitiiKM is "doing up" the Republican organization in fine style. His uieeiiiit:s are l.iroeand enthusiastic, ami the people turn out to hear him by thousands Since Jos A. Wright bucked down from the race in that District, the winde thing looks like a jug handle one sided. Wright, however, would have been defeated just as easily as Scott w ill be, who is really au abler in in than the Ex-Governor. Scott's meetings are said to be very slimly attended, and one hundred men would cover any audience he addressed up to Saturday last. The whole thing of Republicanism seems to be "played out" as badly as the Constitution is in Massachusetts or other New England States. Mr Scott was the head of the Know Nothings in 1 --14 when he slid into Congress, but he is now willing t i let all the Germans and Irish support him that will disgrace their manhood by voting for him. The dark lantern won't do this time Mjt small MMN "piked.'' The Journal, in referring to the tax bill, says, "that no Dnnorrntir member tram thin State roteil aiainsl it " The Democratic members from this State voted for all the men anil al! the money th.-t the Administration aske 1 for to prosecute the war and for every appropriation for the support and increase of the army and navy. Vet in the lace of these facts the Republican jiajier- and speakers in this Si re are assailin- Messrs. VoorUM and Law for vot-ng against MppÜM and aain-t the Republican tax bill lor raising a revenue. But the Republican central organ asserts "that no Democratic member Irom this State voted acain-t it." 1'pon the evidence of the Journal, is not "a small cannon spiked?" The Journal concedes that Me--t- Hplman and Cravens voted for every war measure, for every financial measure, and lor every appropriation lor the Mpfort of the Army and Navy, proposed by the ruling party. Yet il a-sails them while it pro fesses no partvism when it declares that it is the duty ot every man lo sink the partisan in the patriot. If honest in its declarations.the Journal and the so-called "Union" party it represents, should give Messrs Holm.ix and Cravens a hearty sup port. But their opposition to them is just as bitter, just as relentless, as it is lo Messrs. Law and VonRHLRs and for no other reason than they are Democrat- that in their opinion loyalty to the Government dees not demand of theirr, or nf any citizen, a sun ender of their political principles. Object of tbe Iteceiit Hebel tlo-, c men is. The news comes that "Louisville is safe" and that ail is again "quiet upon the Potomac." If the object of the recent mW movements was the invasion of the Northern Stales 4 has proved a failure. They have been forced from Maryland back to Virginia, and iu Kentucky neither Kirby Smith's or Brago's division have been nearer thin forty miles to either Louisville or Cincinnati. Rut if the advance into Maryland aud Ken tucky weie great foraging expeditions to obtain obtain food and munitions of war, the rebel aitnv iu that regard have been eminently successful. From Pope's divisiou and his jKiiuts of supply, and from Harper's Ferry, thev captured an immense amount of Government propeity, just the articles they wanted. So in Kentucky. The surrenders at Richmond ami Muufordville gavetneni a huge supply of artillery . small arms, tents, and et) ui page of all kinds and ot' the liest quality. Resides that they captured from ejght to ten thousind prisoners, adding to the large balance against us in that lint. Ami from the rich regions of Central and Southern Kentucky they must have obtained larte supplies of food, and perhaps clothing and slmes. which thev so much need. The preparations for defending Louisville and Cincinnati have nlso cost the Government and people sn enormous sum. These advantages to the rebels may be in the end dear bought, if wise councils prevail, and if our National embarrassments are not increased by the uncalled lor and unwise emancipation proclamation of the President. For tbe Daily State Sentinel. The Door Open. To check for the moment the indignation of the people aroused against the unparalleled und a-toiiialmg frauds then aud since perpetrated upon the public Treasury by cormorant contractors, on the 2d dav of May last an act was passed providing for the punishment of that organized horde of public plunderers. Mr Senator StMmoms's class of the Republican party fifteen days aftei wards secured the passage of the following act, which on the same day was duly approved by "Honest Abe:" " Be it enaeUd, That the operation of the act

Under this "indulgence" Senator Simmons received his bonus of fifty thousand dollars, and the public plunderers were so substantially by law authorized to continue their robberies upon the public tieasury. In all the legislation o tbe country no instanc can be cited so grossly in violation of justice. It is iu brief the act of declaring by solemn enactment fraud and theft leal and proper. If the law punishing the offense was just, why suspend it? If wrong and unjust, why not repeal it? In its susjiension the title should have read "au act to legalize the frauds and thefts of Republi can contractors upon the public treasury ;" and yet, under the title of "no party," the enactors of this infamous specimen of wicked ami corrupt legislation are now asking the people to re-elect them to positions they have disgraced.

Is there a man in the whole country who can fight a battle, plan a campaign, or who owns a commanding talent of any kind or description? The only answer is in a very expressive silence. Lincoln and Seward. Cameron and Stanton, Hennen and Phillips, these are your statesmen, your public men, your leiders of opinion. McCieilan and Pope, heroes of a hundred retreats, Halleck, who came back from Tennessee because he could not find Beauregard, who was there all the time, Hunter, terrible over negroes, and Butler, tre niendous against women, these and such like are the Generals of the North. It is very unfortunate lor them it is positively disgraceful for us, w hen we reflect that these people are of our own blood this extraordinary dearth of men of mark among the Northern Americans. They will do well to give up the quarrel for the present to wait until Providence shall send them a great man one endued with the elementary qualities that are essential for success. The fact mu-t somehow be explained that the Generals and statesmen of the South are so pre eminent in soldierly and -t ite-m miike qualities. Lee and Beuircgard, Jack-on and Johnston, are men whose very names are a terror to the Northerners, whose ability is acknowledged bv the more dispassionate judgment of men iu disluM lands. A lew days since quarter cf a million ol personturned out in the streets ol New Vork to welcome with rapturous acclaim an iusiguiticaut Irishman, who is only known to fame as hating been taken ;ais ner at Bull Run because he could not run awa fast enough. Tin.- verv ab surd person is so puffed up by his reception that he makes a sjieecii to the mob, promising that us soon as the present little iisincss i.s settled his high mioluiuess will turn hi- attention to the "deliverance of Ireland." Of course, in such a case, we should hardly think it necessary to turn out u tile of policemen for the reception of him and hi- army. nd the functionaries of the law , w lien mustered, would have to confine their investigations to the wighboriiig cabbage gardens.

Let us considt i for a moment the arguments and the advice of that party which has apparently the most distinct aim in view und the most distinct policy to re commend. They believe that the North has failel hitherto, from halt heartedness because the Government has relused to adopt emancipation as its war cry. They try to persuade the authorities to proclaim at once freedom to all the Southern negroes, and never entertain a moment's doubt lhat such a line of action would paralyze und subdue the Confederates at once and terminate the war triumphantly. Now passing over the questionable wisdom and practicability of changing by a single and sudden net the enlue sociil status and individual necessities of lour millions of ignorant and very heirless ciea ixitv passing over the depublication of enniitv which such a proceeding would cause in all the slave Slates, ami the compulsion il would exer eise on all the border Stales, Kentucky and Ten-ne-ee especially, to fight tooth ami nail against the North what reason is there to lelieve that it would bring any material accession of strength to the one party or auv effectual mi-chiet or par alysis lo the other The idea proceeds upon an assumption for which we have never seen a tittle of evidence, and which the whole history of the war baa contradicted. For an emancipation proclamation lo do either the good or harm ex peeled from it the slaves must be iu a chronic slate of readiness to rise upon their masters, or at least lo throw off the yoke and strike work in a bodv. They must hate the Confederates and love the Northerners Why should they do the latter? What evidence have we that they do either? Under no circumstances could an aboli
tion party be very telling, except where the Federal arms had penetrated, and were at hand to protect and to use those whom they had set free. What indications do we see tha, even in these lart, the slaves wouid be willing and prompt allie- of the Unionists? When have they kept the Federals well iuformed of the movements aud vicinity of their Iocs? Gen. Butler has now been for some mouths iu possession of New Orleans; do we hear that the negroes from all the adjacent plantations have flocked to him in crowds to entreat his protection? Is there In fact any grounds for assuming that, as a bodv, the negroes would preler being their own masters with Northern treatment to being cared for and ooca-ionally maltreated by their Confederate owner-7 Mu-t there not indeed be an entire change in the whole tone f the Federalist regarding them before the transfer could be or oiiiiht to be welcome to them? Our conviction is very strong that the Southerners w ill nev r yield, that the Northerners will never subdue diem, that no emancipation policy wili materially influence, the re-u t. but that in their ;iresent ; 'ate ot mutual exasperation they may prey upon each other's vitals for an indefinite period, unless those who are acrieved and astounded by the terrible spectacle step in to sep rate and pacify the infuriated gladiators. whoM virtues and vices alike add iuveteracy and intensity to the strife
