inrr the President's MjuiRion- wpre iliamnated vm, ftnd adorned with transnarnnios and ritirin:il Anra Thousand '?Jof'Derona flocked t the F.xecutive Man sion. The l'rcaident, in response ton. mammons call, appeared at the npper window and made a speech, as tor ws: We meet this evening not iu sorrow. but in c-Iadness of heart. The evua-,. Vi"" TotaraKrirjr aud RCJrh f-Vd, lirmy, give hopes of a righteous and l.!annot b retsained. Iu the m'uLst of K'his. however. lie from whom all bless'Qtnsrs flow, mut not be forgotUa. F A call for a National Thanksgiving ia ind had the high pleasure of transmit ting much of the good news to you; but 10 part of the honor lor plan and exeution Is mine. IV General Graut, bis skillful officer and brave men, all be longs. The galiant navy stood ready, but was not in reach to take an' active parts By these recent successes and the recent re inauguration of the national tuthority the reconstruction waicn lias lad a large share of thought from the irit is pressed much more closely upon nir attention. It is fraught with great lifHculty. Unlike the case of war be tween independent nations, tliere is no iiithorized oran for us to treat wi in. No one man has authority to give up the rebellion for anv other man. V e must ausc imply begin with, and mold from 'V3 organized an I discordant elements. -or s it a small additional embarrassment that wc, the loyal people, differ among mrsolves as to the niode, manner aud measure or reconstruction, as a gcii oral rule, I abstain from reading the reloorts of attacks upon myselt, wishing l.inf tn !, nrovnliCil hv that to which I .llannot rropcrly offer an answer. In ... rnte of tins precaution, tiowevcr, it ;omes to my knowledge that I am inncb. censured for some supposed agency in netting up and seeking to sustain the new rovernment or i-o iana. in t"13 i lave uouttjnst tu iuucu, ami no wot than the public knows. In my annual me&sagvof December, 1863, and the ac companying proclamation, I presented a plan of reconstruction, as the phrase roes, which I promised, if adopted by my State, Wonld bo acceptable, and sus tained by tho Extautive Government of the nation. I distinctly stated that this was not tho onlv plan whicu miht nossiJbly be acceptable. I also distinctly pro tested that the Lxccutive claimed no Hght to say when or whether tsbould be admitted to seats in Co from such States. This plan was in advance sub the C abinet, and approved by member of it. One of them suggested ihat I should then and in that conjunc tion, apply tho Emancipation rroclamaiou to tho heretofore excepted parts of Virginia and Louisiana: that T sbrmM irop the suggestion about apprentice ship for the freed people, and that I should omit the protest ngait-st my own power in regard to the admission of members of Congress. But even he pproved every part and parcel of the plan which has since been employed or touched by the action of Louisiana. the new Constitution of Louisiana, leclaring emancipation for the whole State, practically applies the proclamation to the part previously exempted. It does not adopt apprenticeship for the freed people, and is silent, as it could not well be otherwise, about the admis sion of members to Congress: so that. as it applied to Louisiana, every mem ber of the Cabinet fully approved the flan. The message went to Congress, md I read many commendations of the plan, written and verbal ; and not a sin gle objection to it from any professed emancipationist came to my knowledge, until after the news was received at Washington that the people of Louisiana had begun a movement in accordance with it. From about July, 1G2, I had correspouded with different persons supposed u l tatcreted m seenine- rc-r-ii.rue-t.-n of ths State tiovt'rnment of T.onisi. 'W..., W'kn. ,K. n .f K.-.' ;t. the plan before mentioned, reached 2ew Orleans, General Hanks wrote to me that le was confident that the people, with he aid of his military co-operation, would construct substantially on that plan. I wrote him and some of them to r' it, and the result is known. Such has teeu my only agency in the Louisiana movement. Jly promise is made, as I have frefjeutly stated, but as bad promises are better broken than kept, I shall treat this is a bad promise and break it whenever I shall be convinced that keeping it is tverse to the public interest. But I have luot yet been eo convinced. I have been shown letters on this sub ject, supposed to be able ones, m which Ithe writer ex presses a regret that my plan lhasnot seemed to be definitely fixed on the Iquestion whether seceded States.so called Jj are in tue union or out oi it. it wciua have added astonishment to his regret ere he to leara that since I have found professed Union men endeavoring to aawwer that question, I have purposely forborne any public expression upon it. It appears to me that the question has hfttbeen, and is not yet a practically ma terial Que, and the discussion of it wnue t remains practically Immaterial comd iveno ftifect other thaJlihe micheviousj ba l base af-ttispac. and eocni for J Inotbinj r"?4 iheif pi notbinir at alf Ve all aeree that the Si eU States, so called, are put oat Of proper practical relation with . the

"Such was the orig.u of that delt which has since tecome the greatest that ever perplexed the sagacity and confounded the pride of statesmen and philosophers. At every &tage in the growth of that debt the nation Las set ud that crv of anrruish and despair. At every stage in the growth of that debt it has been seriously asserted by wise men that bankruptcy and ruin were at hand.

Then came the war of the Austrian succession, and the debt rose to 80,000,000. Pamphleteers, historians and orators pronounced that now, at all events, the case was des perate, let tne signs or increasing prosperity signs Uat could neither be counterfeited, ought to have satisfied observant and reflecting men that a debt of 80,000,000 watM to the Fagland which was eovrnd fct- Faiham. than a debt of 50,000,000 had been to the Enrr?hd which was governed by Oxford.

France Expecting War with the United States. H A letter from Paris, dated March 14, Plsays that "after the death of the Duke lde Moray, the next subject of the con versation is in all the circle American, tdairs.

I'he journals which are nearest the Government labor in vain to stay the panic, by assuring the public that the United Mates Government continues todis, t. any design of attacking France in Mexl'Cf, and, moreover, thatjt is against tho nterest of that Government to seek a war at the present moment, even if the rebellion be at its last casp; and iu any ;ase, that there is still time to come to an understanding on the subject. But die majority of speculators pay little attention to these semi-olQcml assurances. ini Judge the question by their own reason, and this leads them to an opposite conclusion. This sentiment is to be regretted, because and on the other it prepares the public mind for war by con stantly talking about it."

They do not belie this UepuMiC wUl ta.ru ly allow the ur. pation to continue, and they know they it.crve to Pe sonnuly chastened for their infringement of American rights.
