LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTh . MBER 19, 1864. THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. (TROY • BATH, Sen. 17. Professor Rosooe's lecture, which I may prc nounce at once perfect in its way, opened with his pointing to "conservation of energy" (force it has been called) as the principle the gradual establish ment of which shows the direction in which modern science is progressing. Had the learned Professor entered the theatre by the pit he would have observed a most extraordinary illustration of the profound truth which he expounded to us ; he would have beheld the thousand and thirty-six ladies and the thousand and sixty-nine associate gentlemen agglomerated about the closed doors of the theatre— boxes, pit, and gallery. For a long half hour the human particles remained in a state of quiescence, precisely like the professor's two pans in clined to unite in the glass globule, but waiting for the touch of light ; but at the instant of the unlocking of the door all conservation of energy was at an end. There was an absolutely irresistible and immeasurable expenditure of force in every direction, and it was amazing to see the science displayed, not in any of the Ologies, but in the noble art ; it was a grand attack, in fact, upon a breach obstinately defended by the two policemen inside the fort, who availed themselves of every advantage of position. These two brave keepers of the peace certainly fought admirably, but in the mete they were beaten, and the " squash" became general. The house was taken by a breathless and fearfully aggravated mob of the elite of the middle classes. Panting Beauties soon appeared in the back of the pit looking unutterable miseries ; to one of these fragile creatures in muslin gallantry led me to suggest that the dress circle was a safer and a more comfortable place ; the answer—" oh, no, it's dreadful ! we've been nearly killed there "—cost me my seat for the evening. Well, this may give some idea of the interest excited about seeing the spectral analysis of metals and the burning of the new metal wire, which they say is to supersede gas, if not sunlight. Imagine having a coil of this fine wire which is about the thickness of a pin, which you can ignite with a inciter match, and light up a hall-room splendidly. Just now the cost is threepence a foot, but the Magnesium Com pany (Limited) will no doubt h►ve to conic down in their price, and then the wire will become au article of household consumption. Only conceive Davy's delight if he could have made the two twenty pound weight lumps of magnesium. This wire burning is an example of the conservation • of light ;—shall we ever be provided by science with a more concentrated and cleaner form of couservated beat than coal 1 Surely, if heat' is only a mode of 'motion,' as the philosophers tell us, this is not asking too much. One thing struck me in looking at the diagrams showing the difference in the chemical power of daylight in Manchester and in Heidelberg, which is very great—that as this great centre of smoke is a moat unhealthy place, and as all the North of Eug. land, indeed, lies under a more or lees dense and deadly cloud, and is proportionably destructive to animal and, vegetable life, has not this want of sunlight a great deal to do with the unhealthiness '1 Ought we not, therefore, to take Sir William Arm strong's hint, given last year at Newcastle, and utilise this smoke t To do this would be at the same time to let in the wholesome sunlight to strengthen the body, cheer the heart of the workers of the North, and, as the phrase is, "answer the purpose" of the manufacturers ! The Spectral Analysis is a much more evident and simple matter than most people expected. The beautiful streaks oflcolour in the spectrum, which in simple words is a cut out of a rainbow, made by send ing the rays of artificial light through a glass prism on to a white screen, are nearly as broad as the hand and exceedingly.bright, especiallyithose from burn ing the metals magnesium, brass, and copper, toge ther ; and Thelievethoee:which are produced by . tbe sun's rays are very distinctly seen ; s and correspond in colour exactly to Siam; produced' artificially . ; hence the conclusion that the i :Sun it burning the same metals. " Doing the Sections " is the grades ad srientiam which all the ladies, and the glorious old on77y 'gentlemen of Somerset who are, their kcavatiers, conscientiously attempt to ascend. It is a:subject to me ofgprofound reflection how it is that the female mind is so affected ; can it be that they think there must be some secret which we don't want them to know, and so they are all the more determined to find it out 1 How. ever it is, their pertinacity is wonderful No matter what Section room'you enter, there are the ladies— even in the Physiological I counted six of a oertain dark-robed and solemn species (and two wore Quaker bonnets)—listening; with intent to a paper lon muscular irritability, and other papers whichfol lowed on the temperature (not temperament) of the sexes, and the size and weight of the brain in 696 in sane persona. Rather dangerous ground this for delicate sympathies ! Of such are the partisans of the negro against Dr. Oibb and his new discovered "bodies" in the larynx of the black races, which are only rudimentary in the white. How these charming students can satisfy themeelvesthat they, witb all their divination of the heart, see the way through the most debate able problems of science, is to me a mystery. I came away more than ever convinced of the truth that " doctors differ," and that though the most courteous of mankind to their patients, they are not remarkable ,for tender feeling towards one another ; they cut one another up, in fact, by turns, as if each considered his learned brother chirnrgus a fair rapid mortuutm Perhaps this is the spectacle the ladies come to see ; they always did enjoy tour naments of old, and the bull fights of to-day ;—ia it not natural they should be interested in these trials of strength between the intellectual gladiators 1 I looked round in these zoological and anthropologi cal disputations for Professors Owen, Huxley, and Tyndall, but they were not at Land to bar. monise the differences or to make the discords more melodious, and, so far as I can learn, are I not likely to be present at this meeting. Then if you go into the Mechanical Section there is to be seen the same kind of thing, only of course much less emotional in its aspect. The ladies here might be seen with many of those delight' ul-looking vigorous old gentlemen and a very few young lords in waiting, all evidently as much amused asl was to see half the engineering talent of Great Britain brought to bear upon a tiny model locomo tive that would not go simply for want of steam. It was very droll to see how these great men could not resist giving the thing a push when it stopped, and bow they laughed and relishedfthe joke as they one and all came to the admirable conclusion that if the principle were all right no doubt the ris inertia might be overcome iu the manner proposed by Mr. Barlow. In Section F, Economic Scienoe, Bishop Coleuso spoke upon a very dry subject, and, of course, without the least opening for a word upon controversies with which bis name is now assn ciated ; but the audience had made up their minds that the opportunity of giving some expression of opinion, and they cheered him right rigorously. In appearance the Bishop of Natal is a man you could not pass. He is tall and decidedly a handsome man, with a countenance which mostly bears witness to intellectual sincerity and singleness, a manner extremely unassuming, restrained and reserved, yet neither austere nor cold—in a word, an English gentleman. The Sections were deserted on Saturday for the excursions, and a most agreeable safety valve these are to the high pressure of paper-readings and dis cussions. I joined the one which was under Mr. Moore's conduct to see geological wonders of the pre- Adamite earth is situ, and to many beauties by the way. The morning was magnifioent,Nrith scarce a cloud ; but Bath mornings have a beauty as treaoher• one as a belle of the Assembly rooms no le retour. We were acme two hundred and fifty strong, and found the train ready to bowl away with us down the Bradford Valley line of the Great Western, through a lovely vale with eloping banks of parklike scenery, rick in elms and fat cattle, and the sleepy Avon at our side all the way. We passed through or near a place called Limpley Stoke where the drift named Mammal had been found, containing remains of the great musk deer andelephant—Bubalus Moechatna and Elephas primigenius, according to programme. At West bury, by the roadside, were large ironworks, esta blished about five years since, where we saw work men finding the ore on the surface of the ground—a de of Oxford oolitic age, as we are informed ; and ;I d ging from the heaps of "slag '' cast away from he furnaces, the yield must bee satisfactory one. Landed at Frome, a vast caravan was formed in vehicles of every shape—gentlemen's carriages, furniture vans, omnibuses, flies, dogcarts, and some of unknown species that looked like Eastern arabaa. After a check the leading 'party bad to hark back to • place by the roadside, where was seen Mr. Moore forming the apex of a great hillock, the sides of which were covered with philosophers as thick as bees, and all around on the aides of the bank, beyond the deep break at the foot of this hillock, were groups of geologists and ,quasi-geologists., Mr. Moore having established himself on this throne, begaisbyclaimingan allegiance to the Autocrat fora day ; and as one of his subjects I must say his rule was most agreeable all through, and most instruc tive, notwithstanding that as he whistled us after him for miles up hill and dale, 1 felt myself irresistibly transmogrified into one of a large peek of very intelligent hounds. Mr. Moore gave us capital little pithy lectures, driving his shaft* into Professor Phillips and Mr. Saunders, and K Hebbert, of the Institut, who ran well up with the hounds everywhere, though he must bare carried weight iu his wallet with a big steel chisel anda hammer, as I know, for he struck a tremen dous Mow at a rock just under my nose. French man-like, however, he was polite enough to say, "Prenez garde, Monsieur," as he suited the action to the word, and I escaped without injury. Well, I was going to say, that the point of all that Mr. Moore, who is a self-taught geologist, had to say, and especially to call the attention of Professor Phillips to, was that here were to be seen massive rocks of carboniferous limestone as young as the lower liaa, and that the ores of lead, iron, and calamine (oxide of zinc) are of much later date than the carboniferous limestone. The younger geologist seemed to take especial delight in upset ting old theories, and putting them much into the condition of the mixed masses of rock he showed and described. Mr. Moore has found about a million or more specimens of rare Mammals. reptiles, and fishes in the oolitic deposits found hereabouts upon the limestone and between the limestone. He be had no sooner taken his stand upon the spot by the roadside where he found all these than he stooped and picked out a small tooth and held it up to view. He had carted away three loads of this debris to his cellar, and then worked upon it night and day for two years, with the splendid re ward I hare mentioned, to the immense en richment of the Bath Museum and the advance of the science, or at least of the materials, of Palaeon tology. It was impossible to resist the propensity to discovery, and myself and one or two others were fortunate in finding teeth of the Acrotus and the Myoeerbis, a small species of r ---.. iTeW — ioct in these regions,!where once the ancient sea of Somerset joined the Malvern Straits of Professor Murchison, but a marsupiate animal which Mr. Moore told us is now living in Australia. On the way to see the Roman pavement, discovered about twenty-five years ago at Whatley, we entered the fine old ruined castle of if unney—a place obsti nately held by the Cavaliers, but battered in at last by some of old Noll's Cllllloll. Oar party was now' whistled away across beautiful undulating meadows and along a charming greenilaue, w here tho grou ;is of ladies and gentlemen came in witb;splendicUartuitic effect, and all the better from the dresses having' had the starch taken out of them by the fine grow ing showers. Presently we approached what seemed a low barn or pigstye, where was a little knot of country people, and by the rough entrance stood a man in a smock-frock with a tray of Roman relics, a bronze fibula, coins of Constantine, a very small bronze figure of a dog, bits of old glass, a piece of red pottery stamped with the maker's name, and many iron nails. At last I came within a few ranks of the low entrance, the dark place seemed to be swallowing up the whole party, not a creature came back, and I began to murmur to myself Dante's inscription on a certain place, "Lasciate ogni ape ranee," dm., when it was my turn to descend. Ire this mysterious place was Mr. Thomas Wright, whose specialitd is excavation and explanation, holding forth, in words inaudible however, upon this being the floor of a Roman villa, The pavement is of the usual small tesserte with little red and black in ornament, and figures of elephant, lion, &c., in places injured, but, on the whole, tolerably per fect. A bead of Ceres, with cornucopia, and two fish, is the beat part A drawing was shown to aid in understanding it, which might be very much better than it is. The pretty scenery of the Value, a word probably corrupted from the old Norman " Fslaise," is well worth seeing, it is quite of the picturesque order, and with the brook in the bottom reminds one of the "Combos" of Devonshire At the top of the high wooded beak, sew Another decree abolishes the obligation for ships going long voyages to carry a surgeon when they shall have 30 men on board. They will only be obliged to carry a surgeon when the number of persons on board amounts to 100. THE CHANTILLY RACES. CHANTILLY, BarL 18. The races took place here to-day.

The three parties which struggle for power are the Moderados, tinder the leadership of O'Donnell ; the military party, represented by Concha; and the Progreesistas, under the banner of Espartero. /be Mon administration is a Moderado administra tion, and is said to be practically an O'Donuel government without O'Donnell. In point of fact, O'Donuel's personal position with many parties in Spain is so unpopular that it is doubtful whether his party would acquire any strength by his ro-ap pretence in office, although be is acknowledged to be the most able administrator the country pos sum'. The Conches the confidence of the army, which 0' has lost ; but, on the other hand, the people do not desire a military govern ment, which, at the present time especially, would be opposed to the policy of the country, would be universally unpopular, and necessarily short-lived. the Progressistas unwisely refused, at the last elec tion, to take any part in public affairs, on the ground that the government intended to influence We elections unfairly against them. They are con sequently, at the present time, utterly unrepre sented in the Cortes, although very strong in the country, and especially in the manufacturing towns, such as Barcelona. They might, it is thought, take office, dissolve the Cortes, and obtain a majority. But their accession to power would thus convulse the country, and as the Progressista are in direct opposition W theconit, and are never resorted to by the Queen, it is thought that it will be only in a great emergency that her Majesty will have resort to the advice of Espartero or any of his friends. As for combina tions of parties, there are rumours of many, but they seem rather to arise in the hopes of those who have individual friends seeking power, than in any direct public object likely to result from them. Let the new men, however, be who they may, one thing is certain—there most be an immediate change in the policy of Spain. A termination must be put to her little wars, which are eminently unpopular throughout the nation. The finances of the country will have also to be put on a sound footing ; and herein there is the greatest possible scope for the genius of a wise and able statesman. The press, moreover, which has been muzzled, in order to conceal the unpopularity f Salaverria and his colleagues, must now be unshackled, so that a popular ministry will be necessary in Spain. Thus you see that upon the present crisis in Madrid hangs not only the future of parties, but the fate of dynasties, the operations of capitalists, the position of foreign cou n tries, even extending to the far-distant Pacific, as well as tbe advance ment of Spain and the happiness of Spaniards. It is a great and important crisis. That every Spaniard feels it so may be seen in the agitation of this capital to-day, and the excitement with which every rumour is received. Every man in the streets carries his newspaper in his band, as surely as every woman carries her fan in hers. And at every corner that affords shale the questions of the hour are discussed with a vivacity and excitement which would surprise a placid Englishman, even on the eve of a parliamentary division at four in the morning which was destined to settle the fate of government. To mark the emotions and gesticu lations even of the calmest looking Spaniards in their discussions on the crisis, would almost lead a stranger to imagine that swords would presently be drawn. There is no apprehension of such a result —the less so as there is only one point on which all parties lure are absolutely agreed, which is, that "Salaverria has done it all." TUESDAY, Sin. 13. A Cabinet Council was held last night, at which it was resolved that the whole administration should resign in a body. They will present their resigna tions to her Majesty at the palsoe at 2 p.m. to-day in form. The crisis thus becomes more important. The latest rumour (aud it is nothing more than a rumour) is that a moderate Progres sista ministry is likely to be formed under General Pavia (Marquis de Novaliches). The Marquis de Novaliches has no important political antecedents, except that he was a strong opponent of the O'Don nell administration in the Senate, and au able speaker in opposition to the aggressive policy of that govern. meut. But it is thought that his accession to power would satisfy many parties. He would not be ob jectionable to the Moderadoes ; he would not be unpopular with the Amy ; the Progresaistas would consider him as paving the way for tbe re turn of Espartero to office ; and the country would be satisded with a minister who adopted as his policy " Peace, and a restoration of national credit." I give this nomination, however, only as the latest rumour. It is not at all known yet whom the Queen will oonsult.

The sound of a military band attracted us to this ; and here was a large tent laid out with tables at the side of the old building. But passing through this you came into the old refectory, and upon a scene rather more gay than the monks of old ever got up under the rough old gray timber roof. Lord Cork was doing the honours of his hospitality in right good Somersetshire style, with Mr. Pieties, the members, and Professor Phillips near him, and Mr. Dickenson, who hopes to be a member, with the young Marquis of Bath beyond, and Colonel Sir H. Rawliuson, ands bevy of ladies. MR. SEWARD ON THE AMERICAN WAR. Mr. Seward was at Auburn when the news of the fall of Atlanta was received, and the Secre tary of State was called upon for an address, which occupies three columns of the New York Times. Albiding to Atlanta, he said : The victory at Atlanta comes at the right place. The rebellious district Is in the shape of an ea. It preemie an equal resistance oe its whole surface. But if you 0044 break the shell at either of the two ends—Richmond sad Atlanta—the whole must crumble to pieces. While Mee. men under Grant has been striking the big sad, Meade under Grant has been striking just as hard blows upon the inner end. The whole shell will now be easily crushed, for it has grown brittle with the extraustioa of vitality within. This glorious victory tomes is good tine for another reason. Just now we are calling upon you for 300,000 more volunteers, if you will—drafted men If we must—to end the war. Yoe were getting a little tired of long delays and disappointed expeditious. Is Indiana • portion of the people, mitigated by rebel plotters, at the Clifton House, in Canada, were importing British revolvers in boxes, which passed the custom-house as statitniery, milder pretence of &min to defend themselves, but really to resist the draft, and bring the government down to ruin, through a subordinate sod auxiliary civil war. ?roe, no arms have been imported bare. Yet delegates went out from among you and sat down in council at Chicago with those Indiana conspirators. and agreed with them not only that that im pnrtatioa of arms should be defended is the election ma vase, bat also to demand the cessation of the war upon the I ground that success in restoring the Union is unattainable. Already under the iodation of the cheering sews from Atlanta, all this discontent and this despondency have dis sppeared. We shall have on draft because the army is beiag reinforced at the rate of tie to ten thousand men per day by valuation. He regretted the absence from the meeting of many influential men: Why are they not here to rejoice is the victories that will thrill the hearts of the lovers of freedom throughout the world! Alas, that it must be coofeased, it is party spirit that holds them aloof. All of them are partmans. Some are republicans, who mcoot rejoice in the ostiosal victories because this war, for the life of the nation, is Lot in all respects 000 ducted according to their own peculiar radical ideas and theories. They want guarantees for swift, sod universal, and complete emancipation, or they do not want the nation saved. Others slay away beims they want to be assured that in coming out of the revolutionary storm the ship of state will be found exactly in the suns eonditioa as when the tempest assailed it, or they do not want the ship saved at all—as if anybody could give such guarantees in the name of a people of thirty millions. Others are democrats. They received from their fathers the axiom that °sly democrats could save the country, and they must save it by democratic formulas and combinations which the progress of the age has for ever exploded. They menet come up to celebrate schievementa which condense their narrow and hereditary bigotry. Others, of both the republic's and democratic tactics, are trilby, that the nation shall be saved, provided it ie dose by some one of their chosen and idolised chiefs, which chief they mutually denounce and revile. They cannot hooeur Grant, and ghermao ' and Farragot, and Porter, because by such homage they fear that Fremont acid Ill'aellan's fame may be eclipsed. Nevertheless, there are enough here of the right sort—(Yee, that's true)—enough of wee who once were republicans, but who, taking that woad in a partisan manse, an rapabbases no looser, end men who ooce were democrats, but who, taking that word in its narrow application, are democrats so longer, all of whom are sow union men. because they found out at the beginning of this tremendous civil war, or at some period is its progress, that no man, no party, no formula, no creed, could save the union, but that only the people could save it, sad they could save it ally by ceasing to become partisans, and becoming patriots end onion men. (Cheers for the nnioo.) Yes, my friends, when this war shall be ended is the restoration of the union, no man then living will exult in the recollection that during its ceetinuaime be was either a radical or a coeservative, a republican or a democrat, but emery man will claim to have been throughout an unreserved and unconditional solos man. Respecting tae connug presidential election, he said : Why should party spirit, especially at this juncture, divide the American people' And why should 1, a mem ber of the executive administratioo, allude to it on such an occasion as this! The sneerer is at heed. The comma. tics of our country commode that admiaideation to sue 'soder its powers to the people, sod the people to &eg oista wets to assume and exercise them for font years. You receive the execrative government in a condition very different sod highly improved. We found it practically expelled from the whole country mouth of the Delaware, the Ohio, and the Missouri, with the most of the army and navy betrayed or fallen tato the hands of the issue geese, sod • new and treasmahle Confederacy, with the indirect but effective co-operation of foreign powers, ettablishiug itself on the Gulf et Mexico. We cheerfully give the government hack to you with large ad ocequeriag armies and • triumphant navy, with the hateful Confederacy biting into pieces, and the rebel lions States, one after mother returning to their allegiaoce. Regarding myself now, Merrier% not as a secretary, but 'imply as Gee pi the people, I, like you. as called by my vete to determine into whose heed the precious trust ahaß sow be confided. We might wish to avoid, or at least to postpone, that duty until the present fearful crisis is past. But it cannot and it ought sot to be avoided or adloerned. It is a coastatutimal trial, and the nation must go through it deliberately and bravely. I shall therefore cheerfully =bait for your consideration the comae which I have cos chided to adopt, and the mimes for it. First, I beg you to remember that the present is not a °maroon or customary presidential election. It occurs in the midst of civil war, arising out of • disputed succession to the executive power. Disputed sucenesious are the most frequent mum of civil wars, not only in republics, bet arse in monarchies. A dispute about the ruccession of the President periodically hegeta an abortive or a real revolution, in each of the Spudah and American republics. So the disputed sue erasion of the Spanish throne begot that memorable thirty years' war which convulsed all Europe. A dispute whether Snares was the lawful president brought on the prevent civil war, with the esimequence of French intervention to Merici. A dispute whether the present King of Denmark, who succeeded to the throes last winter, is lawful heir to the Duchies of Sifter* end Holstein, brought about the civil war in that country, which through German intervention has jun now maid with the dismemberment of the Danish kingdom, It is remarkable, also, that civil were produced by disputed sae comic's, invariably begin with resistance, by some one or mere of the settee or provisoes which constitute the king dom, empire, or republic, whisk ia disturbed. It was so in the United States of Mexico. It was so in the United States of Columbia, sod the rose was the same in the Ilmted States of Vemmeta. Now, it is sustain that in UM we elected Abraham Liaooln lawfully and cosistitu %tonally to be president of the whole United States of Ame rico. Seven of the states immediately thereon rushed into disunion, and summoning eight more to their alliance, they set up • revolntioarwy government. They levied war agaiost us, to effect a separation andeitablish a distinct sovereignty and independence. We somptod the war in defence of the anion. The war he maintained was at its crisis : It in clear, therefore, that we are fighting to make Abra ham Lincoln president of the whole United States, under the election of 1860. to cautious until the 4th of March, 1865. In votir fora president of the United States can we wisely of Infely vote out the identic al person whom. with force and arms. we are fighting into the presidency (No, no.) You justly say no. It would be nothing ler than to give up the very object of the war at the ballot-box. The morel strength which makes our loyal position impreg nable would pass from us ; and when that moral strength hem passed away material forces are MO klerf effective, or even available. By such a proceedir we shall howsoever with the enemy, and shall have given him the victory. Bat in that agreemeet the constitution and the union will have perished, because when it shall bare once bees proved that a minority ate, by force or cirrus ',flies, defeat the full aocuesiou of a conetitutiosally abases preeideet, no president thereafter, though elected by ever so large a majority, can hope to exercise the execu tive powers unopposed throughout the whole country. One of two things must follow that fatal error. F.ither • rooter between your newly-elected compromise president and the same usurper, in which the usurper must prevail, or 01.64) combination between them through which the usurper or hi succorer, subverting your constitution and substituting his own, will become President, King, or Emperor of the United Stare, without foreign aid if he can, with foreign is tereeatioe if . (That's so.) To be sure it is so ; nothing is noraerWn than that either the United Slates [TWOPENCE sad their constitutional president, or the sosaalled Coated'. rate States and their usurping pre idsst, mast rale within the limits of this republic. "therefore reprd the pending prordential election as involving the godless whether hereafter we shall bays a meditation sad a country left us. How shall we vote, the., to ism our country from this fearful danger! (Vote Lincoln in again.) You ham bit it exactly my friend. We must vote Lincoln in again, and debt him is at the same tan*. If we do this the rebellion will perish, and leave DO root. If we do otherwise, we have only the altereatide of acquiee mese in a perpetual usurpation, or of ectering an endless mac/mita of civil and meal wan. Upon these grounds, entirely irrespective of platform and caadidate, I consider the recommendations of the constitution at Mimeo as tending to subvert the republic, (It's so, that's a fact.) It will seem a hard thi ng w h en I imply th at a party like the democratic party can either mediate or blindly 'dope measures to overthrow the republic. All experience how ever, shows that it is by the maids or madder of greet rintethat Istates have been brought down to dertru c tio a . often hear alarms that a party in power im subverting the state, and it sometimes happens so. But nine times ont of ten it is a party out of power that, in its Impatience or ambition overthrows a republic. . . They ea I am always too unguice of the 10000 SS of national aaadfdatea and of the national anon. Bat it spend to me that the veriest croaker io all our loyal camp will take new courage and be come heroic when he sees that the last hope of the rebellion hams upon the ratification of this abominable and detestable camped by the American people. . . And what a time Is this to proclaim such a policy, oonceived in treachery, and brought teeth with shameless effrontery. A cessation of hostilities os the heels of decisive naval and Led battles, at the very moment that the rebellion, without a single fort in its pomades on the coast, or oe either of the great rivers or lakes, is *rambling to the earth, and at the same time a dozen new ships of war are going to complete the, investment by sea, and three hundred thousand volunteers are rushing to the limes, to complete the work of restoration and_pacificatioo. He defended the President against the accusations brought against him by the Democrats respect ing slavery : The chief complaint against the President is that he will sot acoept peace on the bails of the integrity of the Union, without having also the abandonment of slavery. When and where have the insurgents offered him peace on the heed of the integrity of the Union ? Nobody has offered it. The rebels pledged to rule this Republic or rain it. I told you here • year ago that, practically, shivery was no longer in question, that it was perishing, under the operation of the war. That assertion has been confirmed. The Union men is all the Slave States that we have de livered -are even more anxious than we are to abolish slavery. Witness Western Virginia Maryland, Louisiana. Tennessee. avid Arkansas: Maryland, Jefferson Davis tells you in effect the same thing. He says that it is not slavery, but independence and sovereignty, for which he is contending. There is good reason for this. A hundred dollars in gold is only a year's parolee of the labour of the working man in every part of the United States. At less than half that price you could bay all the slaves in the country. Nevertheless, our opponents want a distinct exposition of the President'. views on the ultimate solution of the slavery question. Why do they seat it? For the same reason that the Pharisees and Saddam'', wanted au authoritative resolution of the questions of casuistry which S/040 in their day. One of those sects believed in a kingdom to come, Ind the other denied the resurrection of the dead. Nevertheless, they walked together in loving accord in search of animate' °escaro les the spirit world. ")faster," said they, "there was a man of our nation who married a wife earl died, leavi ng six brothers. Those brothers snoessaively married the widowed woman end afterwards died. An d last of all the woman died al so. In the resurrection which of the seven shall have this woman to wife r Now what was it to them whether 000 or all should have the woman to wife in heaven. It could be nothing to the &Unease in any case. What was it to any human laving on this side of the grave? What was it to any homes being is Mama except the woman and her seven husbands —absolutely matinee. Yet they would have an answer. And they received one. The answer was that while in this mortal state, men and women shall Dever cease to marry sod to die, there will be is the resurrection neither death nor marrying nor giving in marriage. Although altogether neautbonsed to meek for the Provident upon hypothetical questions, I think I can give an mower epos the subject of al at the present day —an answer which will be ex plicit, and I hope not altogether unsatiehdory. While the rebels continue to wage war against the government at the Coited Staten the military measures affecting slavery, which have bees adopted from morality, to bring the war to a speedy and successful esti will be methined, mood) so far as practical experience shall show that they caa be modified advantageously, with a view to the rune end. When the insurgents shall have disbanded their armies, and laid down their arms, the war will instantly OMNI e and all the war measures thee misting. totludil those which a ff ect slavery, will new oleo. aid all the mon economical, and political goodies', as well as questions affecting slavery as others which shall Uses be existing be tween individual' and states and the Federsl government, whether they arose before the civil war began, or whether they grew out of it, will, by force or the constitution, pea over to the arbitrament of court, of law, and to the councils of legiaLltion. Mr. Seward concluded u follows : The nun i wain. So sorely at it shell rise meals, so surely do I think that the peat 'vests we base now cells brats,' prelude the cod of our mafioso' troubles, and the restoration of the natioeal authority with pew, prosperity, and freedom throughout the whole laud, from tho lake. to the gulf, and from somas towns.
