Tho letter of Secretary Seward to the Brilitb minister at Washington, expressing tbe cpiaion tbat Aliens who have only elated' their intention to become, citizens, and have not yet taken out their "second -papers," are exempt from draft, is in direct conflict with of Secretary Stauton directing' the enrollment of such persons.

It is proposed, we believe, to strike nil anti-slavery men through these, and take advantage of their unpopularity to ihrow the odium of (reason upon all who tbiuk, like Robert Dala Owen, that the time has come when nothing but tho emancipation of all the slaves can save tho country. The Journal unfairly and maliciously classes the Vallandigham-Mahoncy zcrs with treason, wiih thoso who believe' (as tbo Journal admits,) that slavery is Ibc cause of tho war, and who as a consequence insist that it ought lo bo destroyed by the war power because it is tho chief support of the rebellion. The difference between tho Maboney men and tho anti-nlavcry men is, that tho former are opposed to any war upon the traitors, withhold their personal efforts to that end, and sympatbiso with Ibe rebels in their resistance to the government, while ami slavery meu aro in favor of tbe most fu-oroits tear for the maintenance of tho government, and have volunteered l-y hundreds of thousands and given millions of dollars of their property to aid.tbo administration While many of tbo Maboney men havo left tlio north and joined tho rebels in- arms, and afforded them aid nnd comfort by gifts, sympathy and secret support, never, in no Instance, has an anti-slavery roan been found guilty of such an act. The latter are everywhere truly loyal nnd ready, as they are proving now nil over tbo country, to make still greater sacrifices to save the republic. To say, or to insinuate in any roiin'Vabout manner, that they nro seditious, disloyal and almost as guilty as the adherents of Jeff Davis," is an abominable and infamous slaudcr and falsehood; to sfiy that tbe government should put down with Ihe strong hand thoso who urge emancipation ns'tbo quickest nud surest method of crushing the rebellion, is to utter a doctrine fraught with disaster and ruin.

No whcro havo we seen anything raoro likely to divide loyal men and dampen their ardor iu upholding the government, than this article- in tbo Journal. For any man to say, as the Journal docs, that Jte occupies tbo only true ground in this emergency, and denounce ns enemies ol the country thoso who advocate different method, is assuming a good deal. We irust it is not the organ of the government respect. When it, comes to that thero.will be division amonj the loyal poo- loyalty is not to be judged by its methods, but by its we claim loyalty, and aro willing to sacrifice all wo have for the sal vation of the Union, we will not submit to bo judged as scJilious disloyal, by tho kclicce'n men--those who complacently arro gato all wisdom to themselves, because they talk flippantly and falsely of not caring snap of their fingers for slavery, and pretend to regard ami-slavery men just as bad as Jeff. Davis and his rebel crow.

We hopo Mr. Lincoln -sill take no such as tbat, and we most nrdcntly be seech him not to commence tbe business oi arresting men for advocating "moro ou? war on the traitors, tbe einancipatiot of their slaves, tho faithful enforcement of the confiscation act, the wooding out. 01 the army of pro-slavery 'generals, and tho acknowledgement of the patent to nl most every body that il is a slaveholders 1 rebellion, and tbat thero is no way of end ingthe war buttostrikeatBlavery, thecnnse of the war.

S. mar shall or hii deputies before this it makes a great blow" abou democratic papers being subjected to a ccn sorship from which republican papers are exempt. This is perfectly, characteristic 01 the Jesuitical character of tbe News. It we) knew that the U.

S. marshal could r.ol and would not assume any such ane it knew just as well that tho censorship over the press is as lax or as stringent (as individuals may choose to construe il,) on one class of papers as on another. Tho mere fact tbat such papers as tho News and tho Chicago Times have not been in terfercd with, is conclusive-that the government designs no arbitnary measures. Bui "suppose, for the argument, that the offer ol tho News had been made in the belief of its acceptance, is not that suCcient evidence of a self-consciousness that its coorsehereto- fore has been disorganising and factious, if not absolutely disloyal. A self-conscious honest man never acts upon tho hypothesis lhat bouesly is suspected or suspect- able.
