Before, however, criticising what objectiouable iu President Lincoln's proposition, wa will notice th point of agreement between it and the other. 1 They agree on the fundamental point of the Restoration of the Union. 2.

There ia no difference in reforanoe to the extension of slavery into the territories, that point being in no way rained. or ot the radicalism, and iiitorniedliug spirit, of the North. Such a peace can be secured only by putting statesmen in the place of the imbeciles that now occupy the chairs of authority. P'aee.

Gen. Banks, and Hon. Christian Boaelius the latter one of the most distinguished jurists of that State, and prominently named for the appointment of Supreme Court Judge by the Administrationhave become converts to the doctrine thnt the Union must be restored by something beside mere brute force.

ow i We bespeak the careful, and thoughtful, perusal of the letter from Tburlow Wued, to be found on the first page. Mr. Weed is a veteran politican, and has always been a leader among the opposition to the Democracy, both as a Whig and ft republican. He is the Warwick of that opposition, the confidential and rclied-on friend of Secretary Seward. In this letter Mr.

Weed says that the civil way now desolating the land hoi been oiolitionized, and perverted (torn its original object.

After he had concluded Mr. Roselius made speech which was, in fact, a commentary, and illustration, of that of the General, tie said Let ua look for a moment to the startling influence which ha been exercised by this grout moral power.

At one time the 'State of Maryland, through ita Judiciary, roes in rebellion against the general government but the still, small voice of reason, emanating from seven atitens who sat in an humble room in the Capitol of the nation, subdued this excitement, and, deciding the question, determined the controversy. Obedience and auhmission were manifested, and the cause of discontent was at once aad forever crushed. So also in the cases of boundaries which have agitated the nation to itvery center. When a question of that kind has been examined by that august tribunal, the decision has keen acquiesced in by every one. European politicians have asked in admiration whether a nation of thirty millions can be governed by 8,000, or 6,000, or 9,000 soldiers.

The answer to this European skepticism has been, the power of the United States is not that of the sword, but that of the directly responsible lor they have perverted perverted at 1 here is a substantial indentity respecting the condition of slaves made free by the war, A restored Union, with ao large and substantial concession to the antinlarery men ought (if the rebel third condition were withdrawn) to be acquiesced in, if the proposition is made in good faith, with all the alacrity that may consist with tha dignity of the government. But Mr. Lin-aoln insists on the complete abolition of Slavery as an indispensable condition of peace. His language in, however, so am-binouis and self-contradictory, as to raise a doubt whether he had a dear conception of his own meaning. What doea he drive at When he speaks of abolition under conditions which respect "the property-rights of all loyal men Doea this rer'er to a money-compensation, or doea it look the gradual abandonment of slavery by declaring all free who are born after a certain date Wbat does he mean by "ample" security against another war in the "interest of If slavery is abandoned, how can there be another war in ita interest What sense are we to affix to the abandonment of slavery by the seceded States "uodor conditions 1" If we ay conjecture the purport of what is so vaguely expressed, Mr, Lincoln very likely Intended to say that he demanded the ab ner makex nn.

Several times during tbe progress of the present unnatural war there hare been rumors of proposals for peace. Of late these rumors have assumed tangible shape, and rebel commissioners have actually reached the President's ear and opened his mouth in reply. It is on this wise. Some two weeks ago George N. Sanders, C.

C. Clay, Jacob Thompson, and J. P. Holcomb the latter three as commissioners arrived at the Clifton House, just across the river from Niagara Falls, en route from rebeldom. Through ft mutual friend they found means of conveying the intelligence of the important nature of their mission to Horace Greeley, who communicated to the President the desire of the commissioners to have an informal conference with such persons as the United States government might indicate to meet them for the purpose of ascertaining what terras could be made for terminating the war between the two sections.

Mr. Greeley was requested by Mr. Lincoln to act as he thought advisable in the matter, and, together with Mr. Hay, the President's private secretary, took lodgings at the International Hotel, at the Falls, for tbe purpose of entering into negotiations. A correspondence was at once opened, and, as ft final result, the following propositions were made by the Richmond commissioners, which they gave it as their opinion would be approved, and ratified, by the Confederate government, if sanctioned, and ratified, by tha United States government, viz The restoration of the Union in statu quo upon this basis First, All negroes which have been actually freed by the war to be secured in such freedom.

Second. All negroes at present held as slaves to remain ao. Third. The war debt of both parties to be paid by the United States. Fourth.

Tbe old doctrina of State rights to be recognised in re-constructing the Union. These propositions were laid before Mr. Lincoln, and in reply the President telegraphed the following terms upon which he could propose a settlement, and re-oon-struotion, vis The full and complete restoration of the Union in all its territorial integrity; the abandonment of slavery by theseceded "States, under conditions whion should, while respecting the property rights of all loyal men, afford ample security against another war in the interest of slavery.

Our friend yielded his assent to this flow of patriotism, but when the man of money, and disciple of Mars, oame to the chit of his exhortation it was the final conquest of the Southern Confederacy, and the certainty of this he explained in the most scientific manner, showing his depth of thought, and his cool, calculating, capacity of mud. He gave the statistics of the white men of Northern States, and also of the Southern States, between the ages of 18 and 45 years; then gave us the fair probability of the number slain in this war on the side of the North, and on the side of the South, thereby finding the balance remaining alive to aach. He then gave from this basis the ratio of reduction of men by this war between the ages of 18 and 45 years, by the year, until all the men of the Southern States would be slaughtered, and could count on a very I in the Union Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, being among them.

Now what is the meaning of this 1 Can it be that General Banks at length recognises the fact urged by Democrats from the beginning, that the rebellion and war might have been prevented, if instead of having had recourse to the sword, our statesmen had used the moral influence of compromise, and conciliation or if the points at issue between the two sections had been subjected, in a legal manner, to the decision of that "august tribunal," the Supreme Court of the United States? Can it be that General Banks now thinks that the course that was pursued, resulting in the war, was ft mistaken one and that if "the judgment of the people" had been taken upon the issues that threatened to plunge us into war, the horrors we have been experiencing wouldhave been averted 1 Finally, does General Banks think that the war has been prosecuted long enough to vindicate our military character before the world rally to its support.

If this be his meaning, it is a demand that he has no right to make.

All he has a right to require of the South is submission to the Constitution! as the Constitution has ways been understood and interpreted, Mr. Lincoln is himself on record, in at least half a score of different ways, as holding that the Constitution does not authorize the federal government to exercise jurisdiction over slavery in the States. This view is the Chicago platform, in Mr. Lincoln's inaugural, in two of his messages, in authentie reports of his conversation since he has been President, and is expressed with luminous clearness, and great stress of emphasis, in some of the letters of instruction given to onr ministers to foreign courts. The Constitution baa undergoue no amendments since Mr.

Lincoln has been in office, and he has no more right to continue a war for the abolition of slavery than ha would have had to commence a war for that purpose. We are convinced that there is no sincerity in any of the parties to this singular transaction, rebels naturally feel ft deep interest in our Presidential election, and their emissaries are in Canada with a View to influence its result. -The unflinching purpose of their leaders is separation, and to this end they are plotting to divide the Democratic party at Chicago, as they divided it at Charleston in 1800. The Southern fire-eaters and the northern fanatics have played into eaeh other's hands from the beginning. To use Col.

Benton's expressive comparison, they have been to each other as the blades of a pair of shears for cutting in two the map of the country. By a deceptive proffer of peaoa the rebels may be aiming to insure the re-election of Mr. Lincoln, which would enable them to continue as his election enabled them to achieve political' unity and consolidation in the South. They know Mr. Lincoln's Weakness, and would gladly contribute to "his success in the Presidential canvass in the expectation that he would be compelled to grant them peace, and separation, Boon after his election.

He is probably willing to purchase the Presidency at this trice. He views this subject, and all subsets, with reference to his chances. We may be certain that he would make no peace now even if he could dictate the terms. Peace and separation would ruin sum with the North, and prevent his election peace and reunion would enable the South to participate in the Presidential election, which would be equally fatal to his prospeots. But to palter in a double sense, to make a hypocritical pretence of peace negotiations with a view to strengthen the peace party of the North, would be quite according to his character, and if the sham were successful might equally Suture his own re-election and the independence of the South.

The South is more thoroughly united than ever before, and I am satisfied, from what I have seen from the Northern papers, that old Abe will re-elect himself- With his army and greenbacks he will surely be able to do so, jf thought otherwise 1 should al-trust despair, as there are enough faint-hearted men at the South to give us great trouble if the war were changed to the old cry of Union and the Constitution," and we should again have to put down the abject aubmiseionists at home, who have been quiet aince the proclamation. Good bye again, my dear mother, ftnd believe me, past what guarantee is there that they will be heard, and Mr. 'Lincoln would be "led by events" to accept any honorable terms of peace. Yet we have no hope of such an event under the present Administration.

The radicals have too strong a hold upon the "halter of events" which controls the President. He is in their hands. Tbe very terms he proposes with reference to "the abandonment of slavery," are made entirely in their interest, and terms which can only be made in violation of the Federal Constitution. If the rebellious States come back to their allegiance under the Constitution as it is, of course they will be entitled to all the rights which it guarantees to Sovereign States, and the right to hold or "Uot to hold slaves is one of those bos.ed rights. Notwithstanding we have no hope of peace under the present corrupt Administration we are yet glad that the subject may now be agitated.

Good may result. It will be seen that the great obstacle in the way of an honorable peace ni we would have no ofAer-whleh prevents the rightful authority of the government being re-tored ever all the States of this Union, is Boy Shot.

The u. mnun, buiug is reiusing, or nei Thai Bogus Proclamation. The bogus proclamation of the black-republican forger, "Howard of the Times," has been more than verified.

For publishing that proclamation on the 18th of May the World, and Journal of Commerce, were suppressed, and yet on the 18th of July the President issued one going beyond that. The bogus proclamation called for 800,000 men, the genuine one demands 600,000, going 200,000 better on the bogus. The other feature of the bogus proclamation was the appointment of a day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer, and now the President has ratified that too.

Elsewhere the resignation of Gen. Brooks is spoken of, and now it is announced that Gen. W. F. Smith, familiarly known as "Baldy," has retired from the service, having been "relieved" because of "insubordination towards Gen.

Butler." Smith is a good military Butler knows nothing of actual war, yet the Administration deprives the country of the services of the military man because its politic necessities make it afraid of offending the other. Smith, it seems, got tired of being domineered over by military fools.
