New York, Jan, 14, 1664. To the EJiton of The Xtw York Neict: I ask a, plice in jour column' for the subjoined translation of remarkably able article recently published in The Memorial Diplomatique, the peculiar org in of Europe in diplomacy. It U signed by one of the fe Europe in journalists who hare h id opportunities to study American politics and ch trader Henri Vignaud. Its com merits upon our civil war ore not complimentary to ihe people of the North, but it is well that our fellow Citizen should be from time to time re minded what verdict is being recorded against us by enlightened publicists of the Old World, to be transterrej into history for the perusal of posterity. The article was written immediately upon the receipt in Europe of the returns of our Autumn elections. It is of coarse full of disappointment a disappointment shared and expressed by er er J true friend of I bertv, civilization and throughout the world it the war attitude and war pl.ttform wliicli I d ln Adopted by the Democrats of the Northern Sutes, ana on and by which we had been iugluriuusly defeated. If the perusal of this eloquently written edito rial shall hare the effect t induce a single re.ider to re fleet whether it is worth while fr the North to m ike the inevitable sacrifice of popular liberty, to obtain a compulsory Union, then the object with which I ask a pl ice for it iu your columns, will hare been accomplished. Very respectfully yours.. Gidkox J. Tucker. POLITICAL SITl ATtOX Of Til C CS1TED STATES Of i - AMERICA. fTran-lated from ihe Memorial Diplomatique. Tli various ilem in.strntious m tdebr the Democrats and fr'end- of peace in the North have induced those who do not study American affairs with attention to believe that the creat revolu tion which is devouring the republic of Washington wi'il work Us own solution, and that both North and Souüi, aghast at the ruin, and heaped up everywhere around them, at the pea ot blood which their fatal dissensions still cause to flow, will at last become conscious of the fact that war is not an element of uniun.nnd casting aside their arms will cither be;:ime reconciled by mutual concessions or settle Jown in peace, eMeJjy side, a tree and independent States.' The recent elections hare destroyed this illusion. For the first time, we mightsay. in a whole fr;r, public sentiment in the United Slates has assumed such form as to enable us to understatu! its purport. We cm now see clearly into the plans of the Government, 'and ascertain how they are to be viewed by the people The idea h is been hitherto entertained that the Deroocrtic party desired peace. This error has been s;rengthcned . by the attacks which its organs and or i tors made and are s'J.I m iking every day upon the Federal Administration, and by the general tone of hostility which pervades the lansua! of its leaders. The late elections, while they show the weakness of the party, also bring to light the fact which we have long since known, that there is little difference between Democrat an 1 Ridicals as to the propriety of continuing the war. In the midst of the tempest which each day carries off some element of American liberty, the Democrats are, it is true, the otjlv persons who protest gdiwt "the'uurpitions of" government, mgainst the violence of military authority, and gainst the encroachments of the central power upon that of the stiles, ami from this circumstance they are the only constitution! party in the N rth; but they h ive not been able t resist that t!ind devotion to the Union which induces A an erica irs to- vliie it-more-thm liberty; they have fiilel to appreciate the spirit of tha Constitution of which ther are the only and last defender-.. - ' - Not en" of the leadersof the Democratic party, even of those. who have been roost energetic io their att.ci upon the policy of the Administra, tion not even Vallandigham or Governor Seymonr h is ever declarJ tint he was in favor of pe ice with the rfjuth at the price of scpiration. Judre V- dwrd, who w is the ret-ent cuididate for Governor 'of Petimvlvani ;" Mr. Vallandig ham, w'q 'artred to the same post iu Ohio; Mr. Seymour, Governor of the Sitte of Xe York, and all the other heads of the Democratic party, are as jtroni'lv in ftvor of the Union as Mr Lin coin. The only d fference between R idicaU ar.d Democrats, is tint the former wish for Union throujh w ir. and tha'. the litter wi-h to obuin it by t-on'-iiiaiion, if po-s.b!e, and. if not, by cirry in o:i the war in a regular and iiuin me mi in aecor I met with thr spirit i the age. Union. Union, tiir-iugh fire and sword, or Uni n by priyer and compronii.-e, but Uniou at any cst. Union, even at the :-i -e of an ocean of bhxvl, at the price of pmlic ere lit; Union, iu fet. at any prk-e, even that of litierty; such is the open, or secret thought of every American of the North, he ha It idical. Pe-ice Democrat, War Democrat, Copperhead, or OM Line Whig. The insane" desire for Union turns the heads of all. A prer to this h illucination, the Americans do not perceive that while they are running after some detachel portions of the .Republic those which were still united beiu to sea ante, and that their attempt lr favnr of the Union ate so aoanv get m of disunion, from which, instead of tww Confederacies, ihrue or fjurwill probably - .. ..- National vanity has taken such hold upon the people or the North that it has destroyed their moral sense. They sacrifice everything to the pride of b-ing able to say that their power eitends over half a continent, and that they are erjail to any nation in the world. -Uitlier, say they, let our institutions and a wU'le generation perish, than renounce this glo riots ide! The Anglo Sixon is certainly the most independent of all men, but his pride is greater, than his love of independence, and he would ' not be-itate to sacrifice liberty to vanity. One o the great men of the French Revolution said: "Let ihe Colonies perish Hner than a principle" The Americans reverse the expre ton and say: "Sooner let liberty perish thm lose au ioch of territory." In their opiuion the glorioi Union takes precedence of everything. There is the.i, in fct. little difference between th Democrats of the North and the nvst extreme Ridicals; they re II agreed upon this capital poiat, that the independence of the South cannot be xesognized. All want the Union, and if thet ' d';3'er as to their plans for obtaining it. it is beean their interests are not identical. The possession of power is the real paint in dispute between these two parties; the real and profound difference between lUcm lies in the fact that the one is in possession of the Govern ment whi'rli the other wishes to control. If the Dem jcrats ask to h ire the Union re stored by means of compromise, it is because this: lathe only way iit which lliey eti obtain poweK The return of the Southern Stites to the Union wpu'd at once give the Democratic prtv its for an er superiority It is evident thai if these Sutew are iridacerl by any comVnatlon, even by ubj'igiiioi. to send reprriciiutires to CongtCe, those repreeriUtives would unite with the Dem ormUf. . porty of the North, with tbem ihey bae uuoierous poin; of couttct, in1 who. are the uly person who hie any sympathy with them. ' Tl Dem crU. independently of the question of principle, which onfortum'ely hire at this lime liule weilit in the Unite-1 Sutes. have every interest in nusbtioiu the ductrine of Stale right tad pre ichin eonciliation toward the Confederates: since if the Siuthern States should be entirely crushed out or lose their constitutional rights, their restoration to the Union as conquered provinces, would cot diminish the political influ eoce of the radicals. ' 'Hence the watchword of the Democratic party is: "Tbi Ucioa m it was, and the Constitution as U

their seats at the Capitol will be the day onlwnicn they wiircease" to govern the Linou, and they are determined that thit. dat shall never come. We mus here admire the astuteness and ability rhtcTi ther have prepared and brought the revo lution to the piut where it now u. At the be ginning 'he war, when the North as one man asked th restoration of the Un:orr, the radicals did not show any intention of changing the insti tution of the republic in any way; they shouted Union and Constitution as loudly as did the Dem ocrats. Now, however, that the Democrats nave separated from them an-1 are crowding around the Constitution, which they take as their banner, they announce that instead of the Union and Constitution as they were, they wi.-h for a strong Union wli'ch shall centralize in itself ail powers formerlv held by the States, and that the rebel States shall be held as territories. -This machiavelian idea, which had already been put forward in the United States Senate, where, in April, lfc62, Mr. Sunnier, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, adviser of the President, and one of the firmest supporters of the Administration, proposed to declare that the rights of the South as independent States had ceased to exist, was renewed by Mr. Sumner in his famous speech at the Cooper Institute, in which he proclaimed the legal theory by which he proposed to eustaiu the constitutionality of the pretended forfeiture of the Southern States through their so called rebellion. Hardly was this theory made public befdYe the ultra journals hasteued to defend it, and before the orators of the Administration party went about making speeches in favor of it. Only a few d ijs since. General Butler the HouravieiT of America in a speech delivered at Boston, arguing on the theory of Mr. Sumner, emphatically declared that if the Southern S'.ates camebtck iuto the Union, it must be as couquere 1 provinces. Some days after. General Datier was appointed to com mand the Department of Eastern Virginia and North Carolina. . . One of the civilians of the North, who is on ef the most eminent of the age. Honorable V illianr Beach Lawrence, the learned editorand com mentator of Wheaton's Treatise on Internation al Law, has thought it hia duty to refute in a le eal point of view, this dangerous and wicked doctrine, which at the same time that it over throws completely the American political system opens tne ooor to revolting n.j'istice tlis voice will probably not be heard; political passions once let loose no longer listens to reason, and the fa natics of the North will continue in their blind fury to undermine the edifice of the Republic, on til one day it will crumble to ruins over their heads. Such are the plans and views of the two political parlies iu the North as brought to lull by recent events. The late elections have shown, the strength of the two parties. The Democrats disorganized by internal dissensions, cut up by the personal am bilioit of leaiers, fearful oi rifking their popular ity and tinid iu the presence of power, have not dared to take a bold and dignified position, and have been beaten almost everywhere. Moreover, whatever may be the superiority of the political ideas of the Democrats in other respects over their adversarie-, the Southerners cannot consid er them otherwise than as enemies, as much bent as are the Abolitionists ou crushing our their newborn freelom The marked triumph of the R idicals, their ac cord with the Democrats ns to the necessity of restoting the Union, the new projects of conquest and oppression which they entertain, all place the States of the Soudi in a more alarming posi tion than nur m which they have found them selves. Not content with foicitigthem back iuto the Union, the determination now seems to be to exterminate them. They have no longer a choice between the Southern Confederacy and conquest, between libertv anJ slavery, between Silo mid death. The triumph of the Radicals and the more de cided attitude of the Democrats, ucstroys the last hope entertained by the friends of peace that the American Revolution could be brought to peaceful termination. The Federals irritated by the resistance which they meet with, and blinded by the blood which they hare .hed. rn?h like drunken men upon the South and precipitate themselves en masse upon the palpitating and heroic body of the Confederacy, while all the world looks on at the murder, and not a voice is raised in their ben ill not one in America or Europe. Hknei Vigxacd The National "Stump-tall" Banking jselteme A Searching Kxposltion of Its Intoundnen and of its I'ernleions i:rfeet npe-n Public and Pri vate Interests lieport of II. II. Van vyck Superintendent of the Hank Department In the State Govern ment of New York. We sul joint those portions of the late report of II. II. Vax Wtck, Superintendent of the Bank Department in the Sute Government of New Yoik, relating ti the new National Bmk scheme only premising that Mr. Vax Wtck is a R publican iu politics, and is in his present position by appointment of the Republican party. The people and banks of New York cannot but look with Nfprehension at the palpable nidi catiousfioin Washington of a design, on the pail of the Secretary of the 1 reasurv and his subor dinate officers, to foster oppressive legislation by Congress toward the institutions of this Svite, with the apparent purpose of compelling an abandonment of their present organizations and au adoption of the n itional system. It is emienly to be hope 1 that no seeming advantage in this dlrecliou will cause the National Legislature to adopt a policy that must resort in serious derangement of the business interests of the country, as well as in evoking a more det et mined hostility toward a system which ought to win its way to success through other mediums than largesses ou the one baud and punitive taxation ou the other. We already have currency as amply secured that jM-oposel under the net of Congress Our banks hold United S'ates stock far mu.c tlian commensurate to secure their entiro circulation, and no further absorpt:on of these securities could be obtained by an enforcement of the national system. A sufficient num ber of government banks will be organized to furnish depositories for the public revenues, if the State institutions are not regarded as sale in this respect. Ueuce there would seem to be no apology for driving the institutions of this Sitte into an unnecessary contraction of their accommodations to the community and the government, as mudt be the case under coercive and discriminating legislation. The first obvious ef fect of the tiatioua! svstem must be the inordinate multiplication of banks of smill capitals throughout the country. The slightest fa miliarity with the locations of those institutions roust enforce the conclusion that they are not cstab lished in accordance with the requirements of a legitimate business, adequate to the support of a bank, but that they are designel merely as conduits thr?u2h which the circulation received from Washington is to flow out upon thecomtuunity. Men hi ;b in authority have inculcated the idea that the nates thus sent forth by petty corporation are U possess all the tuibutes of a currency issued by the union Itself th it they are to maintain an illimitable round of circulation 1 of equal par value at borne and thoas ands f miles from the point of redemption and that their purative lathers will never be called upon to fulfill the promise of payment until "Columbus" discovers another continent, or "De Soto" calls at the bank on his way up the Mi.ssissipjd. Under these seductive influences, aided by the hope of becoming depositories of tbe public funds, it is not improbable that the number of Nation il Banks will be rapidly multiplied; and that a Urge accei-ion to the lire ileemable currency alreidy afloat wilt serve further to illustrate the problem of rising nperiies of trold and the sinking propensities of paper ! Who that remembers the lamentations of the Secretary of the Treasury over the infliting influences of bank issues, will not wonder at the avidity now manifested for the creition of associations whose influence must be to postpone, to a still more indefinite period, the resumption of specie payments. For the inevitable eflect of engendering a brood of banks, at a tim when gold contntnds a premium iu paper of fifty per cent, an 1 of dispersing the specie reserve now locked up in the vaults of existing bank by the distribution of their asse'S. can only operate in this direction. Besides, a trulv national currency, to the amount of $iOÜ,ÜUl,ÜW). h been already Ujued by the government. To this extent it is a loan without Interest on the part of the people, satisfKclevy as me liuni of exchange, and within the control - of - public aujhority as t its diminution or incresse. Tbe economic considers lions involved In substituting for this cnrrency an rqa tl amount of governmeut bonds bearing six per cent, interest, and giving to banking ioetitutiuns the beoefii of circulation eqiivittent to an Interest of 3l9,OüO,D( per annum, is far from being apparent. One of the dattinguishing attributes of the "national currency," from which great benefits are anticipated, ht uniformity of appearance. That is to sty, all the notes of each denomination furnished to die various banks are to be printed from the same plate, the only variation beioz in the designation of tbe number and location of the bank by which

such note is ioed. It is claimed that this uni

formity will soon render the totes so familiar to theeyeth even 'Inexperienced persons will be able to determine their genuineness, and that the artistic skill expended on the engraving will prove au insuperable barrier to counterfeits. The expen ment of uniformity iu bank notes has been tried both in New England and in this State; and was abandoned in each, because thebencumi ef fecU hoped for were not attained. The success ful and persevering ingenuity displayed io couuterfciting has never yet been wholly defeated. If, by a concentration of skill, a good counterfeit of tbe natioual currency shall be produced, tbe evil effects o-.usi be wide spread in proportion to the area covered by the -circulation and the number of institutions to be effected thereby. The only alteration required to adapt such imitation to every National Bmk in existence is the number and ocation of the institution. Thus, where several associations have their existence in one city, counterfeit on bank No. 3 may make their appearance. By the time the public attention has been directed tJ the fraud the rorues are quietly passing off counterfeits on bank No. 7, and so on throughout the list. Another regulation adopted by the Secretary of the Treasury (though at variance with the letter of the law.) is that tbe banks shall be organized and known by numerals, and not by any distinctive appellation. Thus, where several banks are established in one city, though the"first may be worst, nd the second ihe same," tbe third must come in at the foot of the class, although its capital may be reckoned by millions, and its usefulness entitled it to the highest position. But the chief objection to this reuuisition lies in the fact that it will deprive existing insti tutions, if reojganized under the law of Congress, ofthat which they justly regarded as of great value the name by winch they have always been kuown to the community, and under which they have built up a reputation for financial soundness and corporate integrity. A character thu9 es tablished by long years of careful administration, is not only a source of just pride to officers and stockholders, but it is of intrinsic value to the in stitution itself. For not only is the name of an old am! well-established bank held, in estimation as a distinguishing attribute, but there mar also be a natural reluctance to being sandwiched between an insolvent No. 7 and a knavish. No. 9, which no dibtiuction for the intermediate bank, save one that may be more tangible to & keeper of accounts than to the minds of the community at large. The lessons of experience, as well as the principles of sound reasoning, are also repugnant to the theory that the cunency to be issued by the banks scattered throughout the country can be kept at par at the commercial centres by the mere fact tli it they are received for public dues. Even within the limited area of this State it is known that before the system of fixed re-, demptions was adopted, the issue of country banks ranged at various rates of discount, although received for taxes, canal tolls, and nil dues to the State. So long as the present suspension of specie payment continues, it is not improbable that the notes of the Natioual Banks may circulate upon the same terms as other irredeemable paper. If sent home for payment,1 nothing could be extorted in return save "legal teudei" notes of the government. But when the touchstone or redemption in coin shall again come in vogue, the notes of banks located in inaccessible places will be left to the tender mer cics of brokers, while those of distant cities and towns will be subject to the unalterable laws of exchange. A redemption at the principal business centres ou the seaboard enforced by act of Congress, may mitigate these results, but without action ot this nature it is quite certain that uniformity of value a ill never be predicated of the so-called "national currency." Time and experience will also demonstrate the inutility of attempting to make Washington the focus for the business incident to furnishing currency to the bai.ks of Ihe whole country, with the nitendant receipt and transfer of" securities which a stite of continual financial change requires. With almost equal propriety mi?ht the merchants of New York, Boston and Philadelphia be rcquiu-d to pay their duties on imports at Washington, as lor the banks of those cities and those of the whole Uniou, to be made tributary to the National Capita! in a business which, of all oiliets, requires accessibility, nccuracr and dispatch. A department at Boston for the convenience of New England, and at New York or Albany for this Statej and at other points for the South and West, will be found indispensable to the satisfactory working of the system, if it is to become the denied policy of the nation That it is to be urged forward with all the appliances of governmental power and patronage is sufficiently obvious Largesses in the shape of government loans and deposits without interest, exemptions from Slate and local taxation, the'gra--tuitous bestowal of notes, with all incidental ex penses made a charge upon the public treasury, are potent elements towards tho accomplishment of the end sought to be attained. Whether a system which requires such bolstering for its in auguration, will vindicate in its results the lacrifice at which it is to be primarily purchased, may well be questioned. Whether, on theother hand, the utmost circumspection sliould not be cxertis ed in dealing with interests so vast and important as ai e concentrated iu the existing bankiig institutions of the States whether a burdensome and discriurnating taxation should be inflicted upon them, not us a legitimate source of revenue, but as a coercive measure of public policy, are questions worthy of the profound consideration of the national representatives. So perfect is tbe devotion of our citizens to the support of the Government in this crisis, thtt almost any sicri nee wi; be patiently endured that promises to conduce to this end. But the financial difficult ics of the Government, so far from bcin; surmounted, are certain .to require all the skill, the patriotism, and the Keif sacrificing devotion of loyal hearts, to carry it safely through the trials yet before the country. With a large and rapidly accumulating debt with a huge fabric of credit iu the shape of irredeemable bmk notes with an accelerating rise in the prices of all the necessaries of life, and with, a tHxiUion rapidly augmenting, an iiiterferance with public confidence becomes h ixirdous in the extreme. Any measure which should have the effect of distuibibg the condition of our banks and forcing them to au unnatural contraction, would not only operate disastrously upon private Interest., but would, iu i urn. seiiou.sly effect exertions to extend the government credit. Not only would the ability of our banks and bankers to-hold - public so-ori-ies te materially abridged, but they would also be' compelled to patt with iuve-tments aire id y made, lor the pur pose of retiring the obligations which, under additional burdens, they could not longer afford, to circulate. Let us KSMiuie, however, that' the act of Congress in relati iu to bv.ks ami cnrrency is to be carried into lull effect, and that under its operation the local institutions of .this and other States are either to be wholly discontinued or merged inte the national system.. .Under such circumstances the obvl-' ous duty and interest of the General Government would seem to be to rentier the transition as easy, and with as little disturbance to monetary it terests as possible. The 6taid and stable institutions already in existence, which hare withstood the storms of past years unbroken, if not unscilhe 1 whose roots are interlaced with all the ranVBcation of business interests must pro ' a mote eHicieut support to ihe new system than all the eleemosynary associations which may be hatched into existence under it. With a disposition ou the pirt of Congrcs t mke tin national cnrrency act as acceptable as possible, and to further the amalgamation or State interests under it. what " io or ouht to be dune by the Legislature to facilitate the charge proposed? The question involves great interests, and demand the mort serious consideration. Under existing laws, it is within the power of two thirds of the stockholders of auy banking association to give notice of dinmMnuauce of tusiness, and thereafter to proceed iu the winding up ol its affairs. But the pmcfri n- fingering one,- and requires the lapse of years before reaching the fi nal consummation. A proceeding of this kind, entered lato at the Mas liiutt bvU iiuuitutionsof the State, would be destructive of business interest,' and attended with dire consequen ces to the whole community. Iu the eise under consideration, it is not a winding up of business which is desired, "but a transfer from State organization and control 'to a different institution, under new regulations, and with fresh obligations to the government and the community.- liut the existing banks, associations and bankers of this State have over forty millions of dollars ol promissory notes in circulation or p iseVion, for the redemption of wh'cli this depirtmrut holds over thirty-seven millions of dol!rj in securities. In what manner can the Legislature ttins!er the is suTsof this curirncy in a body the jurisdiction of the national government, and stiil retain its hold upon these oeeurities, enforce Ihe regulations under which ihe trust U now managed, and yet shorten the almost iutertnidahle period which. must elapse before this circulation can be returned? The obiigstions subsisting between the community and the banks, iu a!moi every conceivatle form, hi ve been incurred understate laws, and are subject to all the conditions which those Isws impose.

Failure of Ilutler to Effect an Ex. clinnffe of Prisoners "The Ueveraracnt" Violates II ttrilghted Faith" with niitler-.Mr. Warfleld's JTIlstlon to Itlchmond Special Correspondence of the Chicago Times. Washixotox, January 20. Gen. Butler is here again with a flea in bis ear of extraordinary dimensions The big promises of "the government" and the vaporing boasts of the bloodless hero of Big Bethel himseir, have alike comö to naught The country has been shamefully deceived io this whole matter of the exchange of prisoners to be effected by the tjrant of Baltimore and New Orleans." More than that, the hearts of thousands of families all over the North, whose fathers, eons, and brothers are languishing, starving, and freezing at Richmond, will now be wrung with fresh anguish. And all this to gratify the pride of Lincoln and Stanton, and the magnanimity of Butler himself. The whole matter of the exchange of prisoners under Butler s authority, has resulted precisely as 1 have stated it would result. The Confederate authorities will have nothing to do with the mat ter so long as it remains in the bands of a man who is a disgrace to human nature, as well as to the nnilorm he wears. Alter exhausting all the expedients in his power, and still finding this to he the case, and finding, too, that his personal safety is greatly compromised notwithstanding bis shirt ol mail armor, whenever he ventures outside the massive walls of Fortress Monroe Butler is here again, to pour his grievances Into the sympathizing ear of his mäster. For Lincoln con sympathize with him. He can listen to his tale of woe, and console him with promises of enlarged powers, a thicker oat-of-mail, and a stronger body guard. But to the sufferings of our brave soldiers at Richmond, to the fact that thev are dying there every day, of hunger. of cold, of wretchedness, of hope deferred dying ith delirious dreams of home, dreams never to be realized, to the fact that the hearts of old men, of tender mothers, ol loving wives, of deli cate sisters, are brcikintr, day after day, as they read that the idol of their Items has died iU last in a southern dungeon, after months of hopeless captivity, to all these facts, Mr. Lincoln is se renely oblivious. And there is another personage here whose po tent influence is never exerted iu behalf of the poor prisoners whom her own brother used to torment. Amid a life of utter frivolity, she never casts a thought towards the wretched ob jects who were once as lupoy she is now, and who left all that makes life happy to battle for the aggrandisement of I. er husband and her bus baud's party. Dress, diamonds, diin.cis, routs, parties, balls, trips to New York, shopping in the metropolis, the adornment of her person (for a picture of which see Mrs. Greenhow's faithful description,) occupy all her thoughts. Were she worthy of her high station, if she had one-tenth of the qualities of mind und heart that animate the breat of a certain widow lady whose it nob ti u.-ive charities call down blessings on her head from thousands of the oor and destitute, she might, by the exercise of the influence of her high position, displace the hideous squiuter. and eflect the restoration to their homes of all those afflicted men. Among the other complaints which Butler has brought here this time is. that "the government" has broken faith with him, in fending to Rich moud another agent of exchange, to wit? Mr. Harry Warlield, of Baltimore. 1 enclose herewith the administration account of Mr. War ßeid's mission, liom ahich you will see that, if that account is true, Bmler's complaint is well founded. For the satisfaction of the readers of the Times, however, 1 will state that that account while true in the main, does not contain the whole truth. Mr. W.-irfield will, no dmibt, succeed io effecting the exchange of Mr. White, of Pennsylvania, for Gen. Trimble. But ih.t is nut what Mr. Warfield was sent (o Richmond for. That object could have been effected by a simple note between Stanton and the rebel Secretaiy of War. The Confederates value Gen Trimble too highly and mi insignificant member of a State Legislature too little, not to be eager to close with a proposal for iuch an exchange Indeed, if the proposal to exchange Gen. Trimble or llr. White had been made throtagh Butler himelf, the Confederates would . have sent Mr White down to City I'oint in charge of Gen. Trimble's negro servant, who would have waited there for his master; and thus the exchange would have been effected through Gen. Butler, jet with no other intermediary on the rebel side except what they considered Butler's equal in the social scale, namely: a negro. Butler bad some dim percepceutiou that he could have eflect ed the exchange of Air. White in this manner, and hence bis wralh Mr. Warfield is a Union man, of the school of Reverdy Johnson and D miel Webster, but not of the echool of Charles Suruuer aud Owen Lovcjoy. lie has uniformly opposed the war, because he believed with Senator Douglas, that war would be disunion. He has uniformly re nouueed the Administration for the fiolicy it has adopted iu the conduct of the war, beexu.se he saw, in common with all intelligent D-tmo crats, that such u policy would only protract the war, exasperate the Southern people to eternal resistance, and finally prevent reunion For entertaining these views, he has been freely denounced as n rebel and a traitor. Yet now the Administration takes this rebel and traitor by the hand, and sends him ou a confidential mission to Richmond. The real object of this mission is known to very few persons; for it has been better kept than most of the secrets of the Administration. It will starile the North when it is known, and it will show t ie utter baseness of the men who are at the he id of the Republican party. The object of that party in causing tho war was to compel the Southern Stites to abolish slarery For the Union they did not care a straw. Indeed, the Uniou, as it was made by th founders 'f our Government, mid the Constitution which is the foundation of our Government, were bo lb hateful to them. Mr. Lincoln's declaration that the Union could not endure part free, p.irttdave. was no idle jingle of words. It was a terrible threat, hieb the leaders of the Republican parly put into his mouth, and which they were de er mined to execute. The fend between Chase and Lincoln has become . so bitter a to split their paiti completely in two, and they fear, mid with good ground, too, that the late of the DenvHjratio party i,( 16U will be the fate of their parly iu IMii S J far. as Lincoln himself Is concerned, he utieily despairs oi re election. He is haggard, lisile-s, without energy, and without hope. Sometimes I think he is already becoming what he will firely be in ten years the victim of temorse B'it he is entirely in the bauds of those wicked men whose chains hive bound him for two years past. It is they who made him issue the emancipation proclamation and compelled him to abolish the habeas corpus, and thev have now persuaded him to send this mis-siou to Richmond. X. tiiic "WAnrtictn kissiox" to Richmond. The mission of Mr. Ik M. Warfield, of this city, to Richmond, h is occasioned so much ra mark, aud is alike so strongly criticissd by our loyal citizens and Southern sympathizers neither of whom are satisfied with the ai ran semen t that we have taken the trouble ' to get at ' the actual facts in regard to the subject. Our re idera already know that Major White, a member elect of the Pennsylvania Senate, i 'a prisoner at Richmond, and that his absence has given the Democrats the power to prevent the regular organiz it'oii of the Senate and embarrass the whole proceedings of the Legislature.' It his, there lore, become .mi object of import mce to secure the release of Ijor White, and soma lime ago measures toward this result were initiated. They resulted in an understanding, said to have been sanctioned by Jefferson Davis himself, that Maj. White would be exchanged for Mjor Jones, a rebel pt isoner in our hands. Major Jones was accordingly hest to City Point, but new difliculties were there coated. Mr. Ould, the rebel Commissioner, had not been informed of the arreement, would not perfect it, and the rebel Major returned to Fortre.-s Monroe Representations wet e then made to the War Department by Major Jones, that if he w ere permitted to go to Richmond on his parole, he could procure the release of Major White. Mr. Sunton contented, and Major Jones was passed through our lines, on the express condition that be was to procure the release of Major White or return himseir. He did neither. Amther I'euiiatlvMuia Major was sent ia exchange by I lie rebels, anj Msjor Jones remained Sjutli, thus violating the expresi term of his parole, which specified that he was to be exchanged for Major While. Mr. SmkHui, disgusted wlib tine piece of trickery on the jH t of the rebels, refused to have auythiug muie to do with the matter. Since the meetiug of the Legislature, and it becoming evident that the Democrats were de termined to take advantage of ihe enforced ab senee of Mjor White. Governor Curtiu and other prominent reuusylvaiiians appealed to tbe President in reference to the matter. They represented that, if permission was given to them to A grot i taiiitaUment. the JtoTtb. Msjor Jones bus returned te

end a person to Richmond, snd the government

would consent to give up Gen. I. R. i nmbie, or any other Brigadier General in our hands, for' Major. hite, they would be able to secure the - exchange of the Utter. The President, after, consideration, and in view of the urgent solicit ations made, gave lus consent to both these prop ositions. The selection of Mr. Warfield was made bv a relative of Major White, wbo thought that his known disloyalty here would give him influence at Richmond. Mr. Warfield was approached on the subject, and consented to accept the mission. 1 The Government carried out its part of the agree ment, and he is now in Richmond odeavormg to secure the exchange of Major White for Brigadier General Trtmble. The rebel authorities have. for some li me, been anxious to secure the releaser of Trimble, probably because, being a prisoner of war, he is also under indictment for treason in ' the United States District Court of this State Their agreement to the exchange is. therefore, altogether likelr. It will be seen from this statement that Mr. Warfield's errand to Richmond has reference solely to the release of Major White, and not to other and more important business, as some of his fr:ends have intimated; and that ue goes, not as the agent of the President or Mr. Sunton, neither of whom knew of his selection, but simply as a private intermediary between the friends ' of Major White and the rebel authorities. We have our doubts whether, even in this unimportant capacity, it was wist to send Mr. Warfield to Richmond, but it Is right that the real facts in the matter should be known and the aff tir brought down to its proper level. t?F" Robert Dale Owen is proving the legality of the President's amnesty proclamation scheme, bv quoting from the royal prerogatives of Charles 1 1.
