KiLLAaxiT, October iW, 1G3. My Dear Smyth; I percelre that our friend T. F. Meagher, not aatUfied with having made Id America a aeries of brilliant oration in favor of a continuance Of the civil war that ha raged during nearly three years In the United State, baa sen I a dispatch to Ireland which is evidently intended to induce Irish emigrant to enliat under the Federal banner, upon their arrival In America. I perceive also thU you have endowed the opinion contained in that diapatch with your approval. ' Nevertheletu, I add rem t hi communication to you ia full conöJence th. you will give to the public an opportunity of considering ideaa that ere totally at variance with those which have been put forward by you and by (Jen. Meagher. Two year ago, I ventured to address to auch of the politician of America as have ahown s disposition to pay respect to my opinions, an earnest prayer that they would submit to an amicable Adjustment tbe question which had reut in twain the Unite I States, rather than that thej should continue to massacre each other. 1 My so? gestions were received with deference, but I can scarcely complain that thev were not adopted when the mediation of the Emperor of the French n declined by Congres in term wbiclt induced that any offer of this would be considered intrusive. Whilst auch a spirit is evinced by the Federals, those friends of America who deire to witness the termination of this war are silenced, I should not bave broken this silence if Oea. Meagher bad not m ide an appeal to his fellow countrymen, which, if left unanswered, might Induce many thouvind of Irishmen to sacrifice themselves in a coo test for which their intervention ia not deminded by any obligations of duty. I cm not calculate at less than two hundred thousand the number of Irishmen who have already fallen in this horrible warfare. These men have fallen in the prime of life in the vigor of youth and strength. Hai they fallen in contending for the freedom of their own country, their memory woald have been consecrated by the annals 'of patriotism. Their heroism would have been admired even by thoe who bate our nation but troth compels me to y that these brave -men are now regarded as mere mercenaries, who, tor the sake of a baud full of dollar, enlist themselves in a strife, tbe sole object of which is to determine whether one-third of the citizens of the States shall be governed according to their own free choice, or ahull be coerced by force to submit to a connection and to a government which they repudiate and abhor. I shall not inquire how many of these Irishmen hive been induced by the eloquence of General Meagher to fling themselves into a prematurt grave, but I feel convinced now, as in lbbl, that if tbe Irish population of America had thrown the weight of their influence into the scale in favor of peace, the miseries of war, which have devastated a region that ten years since enjoyed a greater amount at material prosperity than any other portion of the globe, might have been averted. I feci it to be my duty to lake Issue with Gen. Meagher on this point, immediately after hi first oration at Boston in favor of the war. My remonstrances were at that time auavailing. He raised his brigades! Where are tbey now I Yet I feel convinced that the time will arrive when all Irishmen will regret that my advice did not prevail over the exhortations of our eloquent and popular friend. 2 otoing but a sense of duty could place me m antagonism to a comrade who shared many of my hopes and disappointments; but as there are some in Ireland, and in America, too, who pay attention to what I say, I feel it to be incumbent upon me, at a time when thousands upon thousands of Irishmen are quitting our shores, to declare that it would be infinitely better for them to remain at home earning a shilling a day than to be seduced by the glitter of military trappings by the solicitations of crimps and man brokers or by the invocation of the most splendid oratory to perish s mercenaries in the unholy strife which now desolates the States of America. General Meagher complains that the Irish people luve identified themselves with the Orangemen and Tories of England in their sympathy with the rebels of the Sooth. This charge proceeds from a misconception of the state of feeling tliat prevails in this country. There are few Englishmen or Anglicized Irishmen who do not rejoice in tbe separation which ha taken place between the Southern and Northern States, because they were acenstomed to feel that the nrowih of American power under the Union was so rapid as to become extremely formidable to Euglaitd. On the other hand the patriotic party in Iieland deeply regret the severance of thee Sutes. because they found the increasing strength of the United States a guarantee against English oppression, which, ander various contingencies, night be useful for tbe protection 01 Ireland. But after this war had cnbappiiy broken out when from the course of evenUit besame manifest to all mankind that there is between S-u:h and North an alienation of feeling which cannot be reconciled when it became evident that the South, even if conquered, could be retained in connection with the North only by coercionthen tbe lovers of butuan freedom the uphold ers of the right of self-government began to feel that though tbe dissolution of tbe Union might be a great calamity, its maintenance by such means s are employed by .Russia ia order to retain Poland under subjection would be a greater evil. Instead, therefore, of hounding on the combatant to mutual destruction, we earnestly 'ray that the Americans may settle their differences by amicable adjustment, even though tbe .eparatioa my be injurious to us. 5 ermit me further to observe that whilst the patriots of Ireland deeply lament the destruction rad rapine which now desolate America, those 'Englishmen who hate the Americana and they are not few rejoice to witness the fury with wbicb tbe Northerners continue to carry on tbe war, because the exhaustion of resources which war produce to both tbe contending parties strengthens the relative ascendency of English Cwer. Those Englishmen, also, who bate Irend and tbey are not a few are delighted to find such a man u Meagher stimulating h'u fellow cour.u-ymen to rush into the shamble in which butchery await thetn. They know that every Irishman who baa fled to America ia an enemy of England. Naturally, therefore, they rejoice when they learn that tbe number of tbeir enemies is diminished weekly by the operations of a relentless war. We, then, who wish for peace are entitled to rebut tbe charge of General Meagher by declaring that he is acting a part which is acceptable to those whom he calls "the Orangemen and Tories of England ' An impression prevails in tbe minds of tome of onr deluded fellow countrymen, to the effect that Gen. Meagher is exciting them with auch earnestness to take part in tbe civil war of America with a view fo prepare tLem for the In vasion of Ireland. A more absurd mode of pre paring them to attack an ooemy vn never devised by tbe imagination of man. It is not told bow many Irishmen who enliatedin the Southern armies have been sent into another world by Meagher's brigade; but It ha been stated (I bliere oo bis authority) that be carried twelve hundred flue young Irishmen into the battle of Fredericksburg, and that he brought out of that engagement unharmed only two hundred and fifty. Could the worst enemies of Ireland desire that the Irish should be apurred to destruction by infatuation more insane than that wbicb tbva induce Irishmen to butcher each other in til eecuraed war, ' ' - General Meagher excuse as on the groond that we are ignorant respecting American affairs, and abstains from imputing base motives to our de8' re that peace should be restored in the Western World. Following bis example, I.wMI not Impute to him improper motives for the course which he h,u adopted. Had he received the honors which are due to hi eloquence and to bt gallantry, his motives might have been question ed;but we'havij teen led to believe that Meagher, as wet! as Shield, has been treated with much iodiuity by tbe Federal Government, and whilst we wonder at the forgiving disposition that baa been displayed by our gallant Brigadier, we feel bound to dissuade our country men from entering a acrTtce is which they will be placed foremost

In trvry post bf danger, and last lu every distribution of honors and emoluments.

liut if our oratorical fiicnd spare us.he shows no such decorous reserve inward the Southern, who were accu:otned t receive with k I ml neu and hospitality the exile of Ireland. Upon them be exhausts tbe copious vocabulary of vituperation winch he command 'ow, It is not forgot. Uti by roe, at least, that when In 1854 the Know Nothing party ot th Northern State sought to procrib th IrUli born population, the South ern, with Mr. Wise, lha Governor of Virginia, at their head, co opernted with the nobler spirit of the North In crushing that mischievous f.:lon. It I not forgotten by me that nowhere did I find a kinder feeling toward Iroland than at Charles ton, where th nam of Magbr and of Shields were mentioned with n enthusiasm that they would have failed to excite among the party to which Meagher ha surrendered himself. In the letter which you bare recently published. General Meagher repeatedly designates the Southern rebel as aristocrats. Now, 1 am un able to discover upon what manifestation of Southern feeling ho founds this charge- that the seceshion is an arUtocratic and not a popular movement. It seems to me that there has seldom been au Insurrection which hns with auch unanimity embraced all clashes of society as the secession of th Southern States. If this be so, it is unworthy of a statesmen to condescend to raise prejudice against the Southerners bv call ing them aristocrats, ll is tbe more inconniatent because be taunt the Emperor Napoleon with being a parvenu, and because it is well known to his friend that General Meagher himself feels it to be a subject of honorable pride that bo is de scended from the chiefs of I kerrin. For my part, 1 believe that the term aristocrat is just as appli cable to the Northern as it is to the Southern; and I hare been told that the moneyed aristocracy ' of New York are more pure proud and more overbearing in their manners than the richest and most aristocratic 1 a . 1 r . ws planter oi me souiq. i tio not round uns re mark on my owu observation, for I experienced nothing but courtesy in all part of America But General Meagher wholly misunderstands the nature of Irishmen if he suppose that be can raise in their minds a prejudice against a party bv oallina them aristocrat. An Irishman nalur ally loves the "old stock" nor is this surprising, for many of our peasantry feel that, though they bare lost property and station by the fidelity of tbeir ancestors lo their country and to their re ligion, still as noble blood flows in their veins as that which is to be found amonirst the proudest potentate of lurope. The Southerner may. therefore, accept with pride the designation aristocrats, and Irishmeo a ill honor them more on account of this appellation, when they learn that many of the most promineut families in the South quitted the richest homes of England and Ireland because they loved religious and politi cal freedom better than the delights which be longed to aristocralical indulgences in the land of their birth. Gen. Meagher is more sure of exciting amongst us prejudices agaiust the Southerners when he calls them slave owners than when he designates them as aristocrat. 1 ho Inah people feel an in vincible aversion tu the institution of slavery and it this war were reallr a war of emancipation there would be few in Ireland who would not pray for the success of the Northerners. But no one knows better than Gen. Mengher that the present war is not a war lor the emancipation of tbe slaves, but that it is a war which is carried on tor the purpose of upholding the union. JSo one knows better than Gen. Meagher that a large majority of those who are fighting in the ranks of toe Northern regard the abolition of slavery as a mischievous and fanatical faction that this majority would continue to uphold and enforce the detestable "Fugitive Slave Law," and all the other appliances incidental to slavery, proviaea tust tue eiavenoitiing states would re turn to the Union. Had it been a war of emancipation, Congress would have seized the opportunity afforded by the secession to enact and promulgate the freedom of every slave in the United States. But it has done no such thing. It has authorized 1 resident Lincoln to declare that the slaves of rebels over whom be has now no swav are free, but the slaves of the loyal upholders of the Union, who are sub ject to the legislation of Congress, are still con signed to everlasting bondage. No one knows better than Gen. Meagher that the condition of tbe emancipated slave in tbe North ia more humiliating to a sensitive spirit than the enforced subjection which is maintained in the South. lie knows that, with a few excep tions, the Northern emancipator will neither eat. pray, nor travel with men of color even though they be as well educated and refined as the most accomplished of the white population. He knows that the Fresideut has held out no other hope to the emancipated slaves of the South than that of compulsory removal to some land distant from the homes of their childhood. lie knows that the conditions and prospects of the emancipated slaves are such that, of the many millions of shves to whom the present war has afforded an opportunity of fleeing from servitude, only a few thousands have sought to escape, though they have been stimulated by the Northerners, not only to flee from their masters, but also to plunder and to massacre tbe families amongst whom they have lived from their infancy. He has yet to learn that the Southern may prefer to trust themselves to their slaves rather than sub mit to Northern domination and that before this horrible struggle shall be jiiüed we may witness the invasion of the North by half a million of colored troops, artued and led by their former mas ters. God forbid that I should say a word iu tavor of slavery. Tbe one redeeming advantage that I have contemplated as a possible result of this conflict, is that it may induce tbe Southerners to voluntarily emancipate their slaves; but I will not allow my countrymen to be misled by grandiloquent yituperation, so as to believe that this present war is a war undertaken for the abolition of slavery in America Aa for our friend Mea gher himself, I have no reason to boppose that be ever objected to being the guest or the friend of tboto "wbo grew sleek . haughty on the sweat of the black skin;" and if, like some of his friends at Mobile and Charleston, be had inherit ed an estate to which a hundred slaves were at tached, I am by no means convinced that be would emancipate them. Having thus endeavored to disconnect from tbe main question at issue the various fallacies and prejudices by which it has been surrounded, I now address myself to the question whether Virginia, Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississ ippi, and the other seceding States, have or have not a natural and indefeasible right to determine what form of government ia most conducive to their interests, and acceptable to tbeir feelings. This appears to me a question which does not admit of argument on the part of those who, like T. F. Meagher, have contended that Ireland and Poland have a moral right to withdraw from the domination of England or of Russia. There is, perhaps, no part of the world in which the press ure of metropolitan dominion is less felt than in Canada, yet General Meagher would deny to the Canadians the right to declare their inde pendence, or to associate themselves with tbe States of America. It is difficult,' therefore, to understand by what process of it ne can saiisiy nimseil that Ireland enjoys such a right that Poland enjoys auch a right that uanada enjoy such a right thit Aus trailia enjoys such a right but that the States of America, wbicb never lor a moment relinquished the title of sovereignty that belongs to them individually, ought to be debarred from the enjovment of a similar right With very questionable taste, he gives, instead of an argument, an anecdote, in which he relates private conversation that was held at New York, by Mr. Toombs, a distinguished Southern, whose sympathies with Ireland and Irishmen have been unreservedly exhibited. This conversation is given at second hand. General Meagher did not hear it himself. The inference which he withes his readers to draw from it is that the chief men of the South stimulated the secession movement solely in order to preserve for themselves a mon opoly of the offices of tbe Southern States. Now, I may be allowed to set oJ conversations wbicb 1 heard myself against those which Geo. Meagher received through report from a friend. W ben I was in Georgia, in tbe year 1&53, I had tbe pleasure of spending two d.tya at the house of Mr. Toombs, and two days at tbe bouse of Mr Stephens, cow Vice President of the Confederate States. Our conversation naturally turned much boon the relations' which then existed between tbe Northern and Southern- States. My hosts, on of whom bad retired from public life, said nothing tbat . could indue m to think tbat their mind were affect'd by considerations connected with official patronage, but they complained much of the calumnies which are daily vented against th South ern ny. portion oi toe northern pres. They spoke with indignation of th incentives by which their slaves were encouraged to revolt against them tcey complained of the Injustice, commer ciat aud financial, which tbe Southern Suits un derwent, as a consequence of their connection with tbe North tbey spoke of ibe secession as a probable contingency as an event which would probably impose upon them many sacrifice ; but they stated that these sacrifice would be accept ed by tbe South a an alternative preferable to a continuance of th relation which then subsisted between the Northern and Southern State.

Tbre conversation were held more than a year before the election of Mr Lincoln at a time

when, according to Gen. Mchr, the douUivrna were occupants of all the Inhoetillal jaisition of th general govr.ninent. I do aot remember that the interest couuected with official patrooge were brought into disouasion, but even if they bid been brought forward, I do not conceit that any Imputation of "lawless am bltion," could be founded upon the Introduc tion of auch elsmant Into th consideration of this Question. Let e suppose that, ia 17tf2, the Irish patriot had learned that Instead of tbe amicable adjustment which then took place by a rnncerilon of the demand or Ireland, the British ministry bad appointed a Lord Lieuten ant In Ireland, wbo would undoubtedly bave filled all officia' ttatioua with Englishmen, or with Irishmen who were opposed to the nationInterest, would Iaghr have reproached them If they had made the appolntmeul ofaucb a Lord Lieutenant a casus btlA, and had subjected to the aibitraroant of th sword th ques tion that were then at Issue betwesu England and Ireland? Neither Is Mr. Tootnha to be blamed for having taken Into account this ele ment In considering the relations between the Southern and Northern State of America. Equally unreasonable are the reproaches with which th Southerners bsv been assailed, because at the time of tbe secession thev took posses sion of the forts and arsenals which were situated iu tbe Southern territory. Those fort and ar ainal belong a much to the Southerner aa to tbe northerners, and aa the secession naturally gave to the Northerners the arvenals and dock yards which were situated ia th Northern States, so it gave to th Southerners those which ore situated in the seceding States. If the Irish insurrection of 1 S4t bad been successful, would not General Meagher bave laughed to scorn any one who should have reproached bim for taking possession Of Spike Island, because it was called by the English a British fort? Fott Sumter stands in relation to Charleston in a po sition exactly similar to that which is occupied by Spike Island in relation to Cork. Let it not be supposed, however, that I write then page with a view to juatifv the secession. When I made a tour of the Southern States of North America, la 1859, 1 earnestly implored my Southern friends to renounce the idea of a separation which could not fail to be disastrous to them a well aa to the wkole of the Republic. When I learned that, instead of endeavoring to obtain redress for their real or imaginary grievances by peaceful negotiation, the forces of South Carolina had fired UDon Kort Sumpter, I thought it extremely natural that the Inhabitants of. tbe Northern Stales should meet force by force in maintenance cf the Union. Mr. H. W. Beecher asked an nuditory in Loudon, last week, whether Englishmen would or ought to tolerate the se cession of Kent from the political unity which uow bolds together tbe several counties of Eng land. I answer without hesitation that such a secession ought to be prevented by force whilst Kent enjova equality of rights with the other mhabitauts of Britain; and though I maintain, speaking theoretically, that South Carolina, or Maine, enjovs a right to withdraw from the L nion. yet as a practical question, it is not unnatural that the other members of the United States should endeavor to pre-ent by force a secession which may be injurious to the whole Union. But since after a succession of bloody engagements it has been seen that what appeared at first to be the whim of a single State, is the deliberate resolve of several millions of people since it bas been seen that though contending under mauy difficul ties and disadvantages, the Southern leaders have displayed more able statesmanship and more skillful strategy th iu have been exhibited by their adversaries when it is mauifest that they possess all the qualifications which render a people fitted lor self government an attempt to coerce them into enforced subjection becomes nothing les than unjustifiable and intolerable tyranny. At the time when, in 1661, 1 addressed a letter on this subject to Mr. Seward, it was said by the Northerns that the war would be terminated in three months yet now after the lapse of thirty months, it is doubtful whether Washington is hot exposed to greater danger than is to be apprehended by Richmond or Charleston: and, although the Northerns bold military occupa tion of many important posts iu the Southern territorv thev do not appear to have recon ciled to their dominion any lmoortant section of the inhabitants of the revolted States. The question, therefore, recurs which I put to Mr. Seward in lcbl assuming that yon will sooner or later conquor the Southern States, bow do you propose to govern them T If you leave to them the rights of self government, which they have hitherto enjoyed, they will be more dangerous to you as unwilling associates than they could be in the guise of open euemies. 1 here remains, therefore, no other policy by which these territories can be governed except that which was for merly adopte4J)J England toward Ireland and which is now practiced in Poland by Mouravief and Berg under the sanction and approval of the tyrant Alexander. This is the policy of confis cation, devastation, and of extermination. 1 bat lean and hungry adventurers should covet the rich possessions of the Southern planters, and urge forward a system of confiscation and exter mination which will resemble the plantation of Ulster and the cruelties oi Cromwell, is extremelv natural ; but, it is a spectacle painful and hu miliating to all lovers of freedom to find one of the representative men of the Irish race himself au exile and a Catholic vindicating a course of policy similar to that which expelled the natives of Ireland from their possession and from their homes. I have spent much time in analizing the letter of General Meagher, because, although, it is addressed to a private friend, it was evidently writ ten as an appeal to the pnblic opinion ef (his country. Though it is overladen with cumulative epithets of declamatory invective, it is a production which has evidently been prepared with care, and deserves a deliberate response. In this respect it contrasts favorablv with an election squib recently addressed to Mr Meagher to the electors of Ohio iu opposition to the claims of Mr. Vallandigham, in whose person 11 the rights which belong to a free citizen have been violated. Sad, indeed, is it to me to find that our comrade, who was once the champion of hu man libertv,bas enlisted himself as tbe defender of every sort ot tyrsunical usurpation Thomas francis Meagher, the youi:g tribune, once the champion of his country's freedom, has become an advocate of a system of government which carries into effect i's policy. By suspending the writ of habeas corpus, and thereby suspending the personal liberty of every citizen of the United Slates at tbe caprice of a single ruler or of hi minions. By coercing into the ranks of the Federal army, through the instrumentality of conscription, all who cannot afford to purchase their de liverance by an enormous ransom; and by driv ing, under tbe terrors of military execution, unwilling conscript into fields of battle where tbey perish for cause which is not sanctioned by the approval of their own consciences. ' ' " By superceding tha rights which, under the Constitution of the United States, were guarantied to each individual State. Lastly, by fraternizing with the tyrant of Russia, who is at this moment engaged in carrying into effect auch a system of measures against the noble Polish nation, as baa won for him and all who abet him the execration of mankind. Alas! that we should have ever witnessed such back-sliding on tbe part of an Irish patriot! If such be the result of republican freedom (so called) in America, we shall soon learn to be reconciled to the worst forms of European despotisu. . - - How different a career lay open to our friend. Possessing the love and confidence of several millions of Americans, native as well as Iruh born, he might hare applied his persuasive diction to the restoration of peace, instead of urging those millions to fling their son:i into the fire, which lot burn before the alur of .Moloch. He might have taught tb Canadian to look to Amtrica for a model of political institutions and for an Identification of interests, instead of repelling them by the taxation, by the conscrip tion, y the rocnopoluing tariffs, and tbe loss of perttonaUibeity, which have followed, as consequence, from this civil wwr. He might bave gladdened the heart of all wbo belong to the oppressed nationalities of the world bi noblv vindicating tbe cause of human freedom on be ball of those wbo suffer In every clime, Instead of Unding foremost among: lhos,e who welcome to America the eoissaries of the cruel ilespot who now torture a brar and nobU rac. The enemies of Ireland will rejoice that be has tnada such a choice between these alternatives ; but though be may End defenders and apologist amongst a few attached friends, our heads droop with shame when we find ene of our chosen chiefs thus lending the support of Lis great abilities to tbe cause of tbe oppressor rather than to th protection of the oppressed. To no one has tbe language employed to America on many occasion by. General Meagher since the commencement of this war given more pair than to mvself ; and since be ha Invited an expression of the opinion of his countrymen, I no longer feel myself at liberty to preserve silence. Earnestly, therefore do I warn all those wbo are about emigrating from Ireland against taking any part in the disI astrous contention which U now going on in I America, even ihough they may be tempted by I tbe rbetorio of one of Ireland' most gifted son

to fling thcmielvr Into the abyi which so many

who have gone neioro in em have perished. Behave me, my dear friend, very sincerely your, at. smith u lau i J. SMITH, fcsq. Aruertcmn Union an Im possibility Frsm lb London Tim, Vor. Ii . The coat of th Amerloan civil war to on of th bllliernU bas now been stated with som approach to pracUlon, If not accuracy. The V' .1 .A ...I..I.I. Ms, At ..1.1' ....l.... DOrmvru okaica, wv bi v tuiu vu viutini uuuiurity, bav actually sent Into th field 1.V7Ü.21C men. But this only brings the account up to January last, since which time tho Federal Govrumant ha mad lb moat desperat tüaru to Increase Its forces. Upon tb hole, we ran hardly be far wrong In presuming that a million and a half of soldier must have bu raised from a population not exceeding that of this Island a proportion never attained, we believe, In any European contest on record. A regard roonr. th fact are more unncuu to ascertain. but the debt incurred by the Northern States wsi "appf xiroately" stated as $l,2,H,b33,7ll on th 1st of last September. Our eoi respondent, bowever, explains that these figures convey no ade quate representation of the liabilities actually Incurred, ani tell us that the estimate of the pub lic debt formed hv competent Judge places the amount "between twenty fire hundred and three thousand million dollar In English money this would bebetweeo JUuu,iuu.iuu and fui,oot,. 000 steiling, and the annual charge at the cur rent rste of interest most be considerably above that of our National debt. It ia natural, after euch revelations as these, to ask once more what i the object of so tremendous and exhausting a contest. Th answer is given in a single word, "Union," and we may, perhsp, consider that tbi reply does reilly express the predominant feeling of the Northern people. No doubt many minor motive are included, and many Intcresta are at work mure or less perceptibly under cover of this universal cry, but in the main an Instinctive craving for the 'Americau Uuion" is probably the ruling passion. We think that passion natural, but we cannot regard it a reasonably indulged. To impartial observer it appetra that whatever might have been the character of the Union, it became a political impossibility when one-third of its citizens deliberately refused to continue it anv longer. That resolution might have been both destructive and suicidal, but it could not, to any good purpose, be overruled. Eveu if tbe Unionists could crush the seceders, which seems utterly improbable, th result, a w are assured by General Butler himself, would not bring the Union back again, nor c.n even the most com plete success on the part of the North leave America anything but a divided and distracted country. The Americans of the old Union were bent upon escaping the common political lot of mankinds They were not in reality quite such a people as they imagined themselves, but tbeir growth Lad been so prodigiously rapid and promised to be so continuous, that they may be almost excused for setting no bounds to their own "destinies." They conceive-!, therefore, the idea of a nation not only incomparably greater, but incomparably more fortunate than any other in tion ever known. From this ideal state they banished all the drags and draw-backs patiently endured by European States. The world in which they lived tbat is, the New World was to be absolutely their own, in unuiviueo ana indivisible integrity. Though thev might number a hundred millions of men, these were all to form one people under one President, with one common country. The great American conti nent must have but one State, and to be exempt ed from all the obligations of political rivalries. all the exigencies of a polit'cal equilibrium, and all wars, except wars cheerfully accepted for the sake of conquest or supremacy. They were to be not as we are in this "rotton" Old World, and f their bappy exemption from the comtnou burdens of national life would relieve them from debt, taxes, standing armies and all those innumerable adjustments and sacrifices which the States of Europe are fain to make for the sane of peace aud quietness. That was the idea of Americans. It required a whole world for its fulfillment, but tbey were bent on satisfying the condition. They talked unreservedly of the time when all the other States of America would gravitate to their own mass and become absorbed In it like comets in the sun, and in the meantime they elevated to the dignity of an indefeasible "doctrine a flee laration that ho European power should venture to acquire on the American continent a particle of power, privilege or authority beyond its actual possession. 1 his is the idea which the secession of the South so rudely demolished. We admit tbat it was an idea worth fighting for, if fighting could save it, but that result was impossible: and if the statesmau of the North could bave looked dispassionately into the future they must have seen that civil war would infallibly destroy those very things wbicb it was designed to pieserve from destruction. The founders of the republic foresaw as much, and many persons in America discern as much now. It may be remarked, iudeed, that scarcely any public man, however confidently be may regard tbe war, pretends to speak ot tbe Union as a thing wlncb, in us old shape, will ever be seen again. They expect to see the South subdued and tue American na tion left without a rival, but that nation will not be the nation of former days. Whatever may be .1 ..rr . !. ! -Li- .u . me ravin soi lanancs, it is impossioie mat any reasonable citizen can either desire or anticipate the actual "extermination" of nine millions of people. Tbe South even if it could be subdued, would alwaya be represented by a hostile and vindictive population, and the North would aim plv become a Russia with a Poland. Such a war as this bas been, and is likely to be. must necessarily leave memories behind it as incompatible with national unity as territorial partitions; nor is there any force in the argument of the Unionists that the suppression of this re bellion will prevent any secession in future. On the contrarv, ibis war bas already brought out nd disclosed tbe strongest incompatibilities be tween the various States of the Union, and set each group meditating secession in its turn There was a moment when the Northwestern States we e actually expected to separate their fortunes from tbe States of the iortheit, and the divergence of their interests fcas been clearly recognized. Yet, if the Northwestern as well us tbe Southern States had declared for seDirUion, where would have beeu the power to put a force upon their will? If two Confederacies Instead of one had been formed in the body oi the old Union, how could the remaining traction have evaded the issue? Does anything at this minute prevent the secession of certain States, except the pressure of an enormous army, and what may we expect if this army, ?s seems not im probable, should fall to pieces I rom exhaustion It was natjral euongh for Americans to con-7 nect tbe wars of the Old World with the divis-i. ions of the Old World, and to strive for indivUi bility.as the means of preventing war. But when, to secare this, they went to war, tbey for fei ted the --rv nrize for which thev were con contending. "We can have none of pour Eeropean troubles, they said: "we must have, on this continent, teace, union and economv." Bu in contending for these privileges they bate had as much war, as much bloodshed and as much extravagance of outlay as would have carried them over a century in tbe European fashion Tbeir debt, in fact, is us great as curs already so that, on this point, they bave nothing left to save. Their levies of me have exhausted the spirit, if not the strength, of the population, and tbey are raising such monuments of domestic hate as generations will uot suffice to remove Tbev hove incurred,' in Ebort. all those visit tions which tbey have been fighting to escape and have only encountered the common lot in a precipitate and extraordinary maueer.

They msy liquidate their debt and replenish their population, but tbey can never become the people they designed to be: For the destruction of that Ideal the South is accountable and must take the responsibility: but when once nine millions out of thirty million bad declared that tbey would rather die than remain in union with tbe rest, the political vision of tbe Ameri can waa proved to be a delusion: t?T Tbe '-War Democrat" of Ohio, Indians and Illinois are advertised to meet in Chicago on tbeotb of this month. - We suggest that they meet at some recruiting office, don a Federal uni form, and show their faith by their works.

Arbitrary Tretet Tbe radical papers are declaring to tbeir readera thai th teat oath which prescribed at th Delaware election contained nothing which any honest man could not take, and take willingly. It may be that a radical conrclenr could be stretched with ae to th requirements of this oath, but not o an honest inau'a coctcUnc. Her It Is: "I do solemnly twear that I will support, protect and defend th Constitution and government of the United State against all enemies, whether domestic or foreign; that J trthy pltdq$ iny Utyinct, fat A and loyalty to th tamt, any ordinance, resolution or law of any State Convention or State Legialatur to the contrary notwithstanding; that I will at all time yiald a hearty and willing obedience to the aald Constiti tion and government, and will not, directly or Indirectly, do any act In hostility to th sam. either by taking up arm against them, or aiding, abetting or countenancing those in arm against them; that, without permission from tho lawful authority, 1 will have no communication, direct or indirect, with the State in Insurrection against tbe United States, or with either of them, or with any person or persons within said Insurrectionary Stales; aud that I will in all things deport myself a good aud loyal citizen of the United State. This I do In good faith, with full determination, pledg and purpose, to ke-p this, my sworn obligation, and without any mental reservation or evasion whatever." The oath of every officeholder In Massachu

setts, u less we are mistaken, still requires a it certainly but lately did blm who takes it to bear true allegiance to Massachusetts. 1 he bont citizen of Massachusetts certainly would not take th oath above prescribed. Nor Is there any authority at Washington, or In the United Slates, competent to require the taking of such an oath bv any cilizea. Force there may be, authority theie is uot. Oalha are solemn obligations. t is tbe duty of every American citir.cn to swear to support the constitution 01 the United States. . But to swear allegiance to the United States when possibly the law of bis State require him to iwear allegiance to his State, and when h think allegiance due there, i what an honest man cau do. 1 hi is not extreme State right doctrine. Itisonlf simply honesty which hesitates at perjury. Radical men define 'allegiance" a little too severely for some men not radical. The imposition of auch an oath, not known to Slate law, at a Slate election, by an arbitrary military power, ia an outrage that strikes a terntible blow at our institutions.
