STAMPED ....sd. other populations, such as Hoist Lin, which was already a portion of the Confederation, and of Schleswig, which was not included in the Confederation. The question of embracing these Duchies had deeply engrossed the mind of the whole, democratic class of the German population. It was, 'therefore, he urged perfectly clear that this party in Germany would have supported their Government in whatever course they took. This question of the duchies was, in short, one of those very few questions on which the Democratic party in Germany could possibly have united with the two despotic powers of Austria and Prussia. It was therefore perfectly clear that if we had gone to war we should have found ourselves opposed not only to the two groat Powers he had mentioned, but likewise to the whole population of Germany. It could not fail accordingly to strike every one that it would have been a war which we could not have carried on without attacking the dominions of the Powers to which we were opposed in other parts of Europe. If we made war with the whole of Germany and Austria and Prussia, we should have been obliged to blockade the ports of the Baltic and to have attacked the Austrian dominions in the Adriatic ; so that we would not only have waged a war of the very greatest dimensions, carried on in various parts of the world, but a war, the duration of which no one could possibly foresee, and the results of which would have been most uncertain. After sketching the history of the treaty of 1852, he went on to say that even supposing that we had disregarded the consequences of war—that we were willing to incur all the risks and losses which war inevitably entails upon those who were engaged in it, we should in the event of proving successful and defeating the Germans, have not known what to do with the Duchies. If we had succeeded in driving the Germans out of the Duchies, we should then have been reduced to the necessity of saying to the people of these Duchies, "You must accept a Government whom you do not wish to be placed over you." He did not believe that any Liberal or Conservative Government would have adopted such a course, or if they had, that the people of this coun try would have tolerated it. It might be that the people of the Duchies might yet find themselves' much worse off under the rule of Prussia than under that of Denmark ; but he thought it could not be denied that the Danes had pur sued a very unwise course in connection with this matter. He did not defend the course which had been pursued by the two great despotic powers, for he thought they had done a great deal which was entirely indefensible; but he thought that the Government of this country in deciding not to enter upon a disastrous European war had come to a wise conclusion ; and he believed that public opinion through. out the country had already pronounced in favour of the position which the Government had taken up in this matter. (Cheers.) The next most important matter after this Dane-German question which came before Parliament, was the Budget. Now, he believed that the remission of taxa tion which the Chancellor of the Exchequer made in the Budget was perhaps, upon the whole, as satisfactory an ar rangement as the people under the circumstances expected. The remission of the duties on sugar was calculated to give relief to all classes; and the remission of ld on the income tax, small as it was, would, he had no doubt, likewise gene really be considered satisfactory. But there was one point in the Budget, which he did not think was equally satisfac. tory, and that was the manner in which the duties on fire insurance had been dealt with. (Applause.) He thought that this was one of the worst taxes by which the public revenue of this country was collected. It was a tax, so to speak, upon prudence. It tended to check the habit of saving money, in order to provide against the contingency of destruction of property by fire, and as being opposed to the cultivation of a prudent habit ho thought it might be called ono of the worst taxes in the country. There were two courses open to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, which he might with advantage have adopted. He might either have reduced the duties upon all classes of property upon which duty was paid, or he might have made a larger remission on one class, and left for the present the duty as it was upon the other classes of property. The Chancellor had adopted the latter course, and diminished the duty on fire insurances on stocks in trade, while he left the duty upon houses and furniture. This, he thought, was a defect in the Budget, but he did not think it offered a sufficient reason for compelling the Government to reconstruct the entire Budget. He hoped the duty on fire insurance would be reduced at no distant time upon other classes of property, as well as upon stocks in trade. He would like now to be allowed to say a few words upon the colonial policy of this country. He thought that at present this subject was occupying more attention than it formerly did, more espe cially in the House of Commons; and he was rejoiced to see this, because ho was convinced that if we were to reduce the expenditure of the country it must be in reforms in our colo nial policy as well as in the policy we pursued in the semi civilised countries of the East. There were some persons in this country who argued that the colonies were of no use, and who considered, simply upon economical grounds, that they did not pay, and ought to be given up by the mother country. Now, he did not agree with these persons. He thought that having founded colonies in distant parts, and having induced our countrymen to go out to these colonies, we were bound to afford these countrymen that protection which they were led to expect when they went out to settle in those distant places. But he maintained that as these colonies increased in wealth and strength. they were bound to take a share in the expenses attendant upon their own defence. Let him ask whether this course had been pur sued with respect to our different colonies ? If it had been pursued we should have found that our more advanced colo nies would now have been paying considerable sums to the mother country, or would have been providing largely in the shape of local troops or militia for their own defence. We found, however, that in Canada nothing of this kind had taken place. When we sent out a considerable force:to Canada after the affair of the Trent, and when there was a fear of hostilities with the United States, it was expected that the colonies would have made great exertions, and would have raised such a force as—acting in conjunction with the regular troops which we sent there—would have rendered Canada quite safe from attack. We found however, that the Canadians did nothing of the kind ; but, on the contrary, rested all the obligations of defence on this country. All the recommendations sent out to them to in crease their forces had produced no effect upon them what ever. At one time we were told, as an excuse for their doing so little for their own defence, that this resulted from certain political complications, and that when these com plications were at an end the Canadians would raise a very large and effective militia. In reality, however, it had turned out that the people of that country seemed to imagine that it was not their duty to provide in any considerable degree for their own defence; or, if this were not the case, they at least seemed to think that no force was requisite for thispur pose. The Canadians told us that if they become involved in any war with the United States, it would be from their connection with the mother country. They said that they could not be attacked by the people of the United States for any other reason than that the people of the United States had some ground of quarrel with the people of Great Bri tain. The Canadians, in effect, said, "`When we were ex posed to danger in connection with that affair of the Trent, it was only in consequence of a quarrel which was not ours but yours ; therefore you should provide for our safety:. He thought that was a view of the question which could not be sustained by argument. We could not be united with a country on such conditions as these. It could not for a mo ment be held that whenever the people of Canada had any favour to ask from this country—whenever they wanted money at a cheap rate for the construction of their railways —whenever they wanted anything done to:promote their ma terial interests, that we should do our best to fulfil their wishes ; while, when we go to them and say that we ale willing to assist you—that it is your duty in the first instance to provide for the safety of your own territory, they turn round and tell us that their sole danger arises, not from their own quarrels, but from those of the mother country. He thought that such a state of things could not continue. Ho thought that the Government of this country, in not urging more strenuously upon the people of Canada to pro vide for their own defence, and In not telling them that there might be an alteration in this respect, were doing more to endanger the connection between this country and the colonies, and doing more to shorten the period during which the mother country and the colonies might be united, than all the writers such as Professor Goldwin Smith, who had written in favour of separation on the ground of econo my. After referring to the recent loan granted to New Zea land, and condemning the policy of granting loans as a most erroneous policy, Mr Aytoun proceeded to make some remarks upon the war which is at present raging in New Zealand. He said that, being involved in the war, nothing remained to us but to bring it to a conclusion as soon as possible. The remedy which he thought the British Go vernment should bring into operation, with a view to pre venting future wars in the colonies, was this. Tho Go vernment should say to the colonies—" We shall assist you to defend yourselves in the lands which you at present oc cupy ; but if you insist upon going beyond your limits ant possess, possession of lands other than those you at present possess, you must do so at your own risk and at your own cost, ll (Applause.) It was almost a self-evident proposi tion that wherever the people of a country found that they could make war without any considerable expense to them selves that they would be very careless in avoiding, as they ought to do, all causes of collision. He believed thaL we would never be free from these colonial wars until we made up our minds to throw upon the people of the colo nies the entire cost of, these wars, which it was in their power, more than in ours, to avoid. Passing next to the consideration of our policy in the East, he expressed his opi nion that it was our duty as well as our interest to preserve a policy of strict neutrality in eastern countries similar to the policy which wo purs ued in Europe and in America. He was very much afraid, however, that the policy of non interference which we carry out in regard to civilised nations we were neglecting to carry out in the East.

To Mr Welles—known in the navy and to the newspapers as " Rip Van Winkle "—the man of a bygone age, and not at this moment half awake—is attributed by popular opi nion the damaging fact that a few Confederate war steamers have been enabled to drive American corn• merce from the ocean, or send it into British bot toms—and to Mr. Stanton is, in like manner, attri- Juted every failure and reverse of the Federal arms hat has occurred since the dismsssal of Mr. Simon Cameron to the splendid exile of the embassy to St. Petersburg. For these maligned and persecuted Ministers, Mr. Seward has nothing but words of graciousness. Like a good fairy, he drops pearls from his mouth, and like Ophelia in her madness he turns every affliction into favour and prettiness. The victory in Mobile Bay is not so much due to Admiral Farragut as to Secretary Welles. " Far ragut's fleet," says Mr. Seward, " did not make it self, nor did Farragut make it. It was prepared by the Secretary of the Navy." And as for Mr Stanton —a man whose war dispatches are no more accu rate than Seward's orations, the world is ignorant of its greatest men. "He that shall record the history of this war truthfully and impartially," exclaims the joyous sage of Auburn, " will write that, since the days of Carnot, no man has organ ised victory with ability equal to that of Stanton." Bat alas ! what is the use of ability if it be nnac companied by success? Carnot was successful, and Stanton is not. Richmond is yet uncaptured, and Washington on Mr. Seward's own showing is still beleagured, These facts reduce the ability of the War Secretary to a point at which its value ceases to be appreciable to the fervent patriotism of the public. The military situation no longer commends itself to the exultation of sensible people. 11r. Seward's " eggshell" has still some vitality in it, and may yet be hatched into a very formidable cockatrice. Gen eral Sherman admits that although he has taken Atlanta, he did not consider it prudent to attack the undefeated army of the Confederates in the new position which they have assumed at 30 miles south of that city; and Secretary Stanton, aware of the fact, notifies the public, through General Dix, that he supposes it to be General Sherman's design to withdraw his advance columns, give his army rest in Atlanta, and re-establish his communications with his bases of supplies, which have been broken by the Confederate Generals Wheeler and Forrest. General Sherman, in a letter that reads as if it were not quite genuine, says if he has not achieved a vic tory, he does not know what a victory is ; but if the capture of a city from which the enemy had removed all the valuables long before, and the occupation by the said enemy of a new position cf his own choice and in which his opponent does not see fit to assail him, is a great victory, it is difficult to define what can be meant by a small one. Evidently the great battle of the Georgian campaign has yet to be fought, and Sherman's position, 140 miles from his true base, and with enemies in front and rear and all around, cannot well be considered by any impartial critic or spectator as wholly devoid of peril. At Petersburg and Richmond there is no change, though there are many indications of a renewed conflict for the possession of that portion of the Weldon Railroad which the Federal army continues to hold. Even should the Confederates deem it wise to leave Grant in unmolested occupation of that point, the necessity lies heavy upon Grant of making a movement of some kind, with or without reinforcements. Burmuda Hundred is proverbially unhealthy. The autumnal damps and fogs will soon be upon it, and his men must either die, fight, or remove to a healthier abiding place. It would appear, however, that the initiative of fighting will not be taken by General Lee ; that a pores tion of General Early's corps has returned from the Shenandoah to take part in the onslaught, and that news of a great battle may be expected every day. General Grant, in a singular letter to a pri. vats friend, which has been sent to all the journals for publication, asserts that " the rebels have now in their ranks their last man, and that they have robbed the cradle and the grave equally to get their present force." This is a strong figure of speech, and if there be really babies and dead men in the Confederate ranks, as the General says, Grant will have an easy ivhniucggtoe butrlayy . sppi l ote t pah i uk s al esa n rr ao:tofflavour roexactlyaunr writer,ot hf h o e twah m nee dvi Fareirthr isyslysvnteoevt West, te:aoo states man,af pnwrdroi prove se r that he is much of a soldier in anything but in tenacity of purpose.

THE DANISH QUESTION, VIENNA, Sept. 20. The newly established Liberal organ, the Neue Freie Presse, publishes the following interesting article upon the latest turn taken by the peace ne gotiations ‘ Widely spread reports impart increasing proba bility to the belief that the opposition of Denmark, and the diplomatic interposition of the other Cabi nets in her favour, have not remained without in fluence upon the great German Powers. The state ment recently made with some positiveness could otherwise hardly have arisen. It is to the effect that the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin have already made a series of concessions, and were now upon the point not only of evacuating Jutland, but also of ceding to Denmark a considerable portion of North Schless wig, consisting of the town of Christiansfeld, and some four square miles of territory upon the eastern and western coasts. This was the announcement flashed to us yesterday and to-day by telegraph from Copenhagen, with the addition that all these fine things had already been called by resolutions of the Conference. We learn at the same time the Eider- Danish organs are not even content with these, we trust hypothetical, gains of Danish diplomacy. Daybladet takes the Government very sharply to task because the stipulation as to the four square miles to be given up by North Schleswig to Den mark is not sufficient. Denmark should have at least the whole of North Schleswig returned to her. These are the hopes at present entertained in Copen hagen, so greatly has Danish arrogance recently in creased. The list of highly disquieting rumours to the German cause is, however, not by any means exhausted. Copenhagen is no longer contented with the allies evacuating Jutland and giving up to Den mark a good portion of North Schleswig. Public opinion in the Danish metropolis goes a few steps further, and ventures—upon the ground of reports from Herr von Scheel-Plessen, the plenipotentiary at the Vienna Conference—to entertain the hope that_the efforts of foreign countries in favour of the Danish cause will succeed in conducting the ulti mate solution of the Duchies question gradually back to personal union. " Some time ago, when the first symptoms of a diplomatic intervention of the Western Powers and Russia came to light, the General Correspondenz stated, in very decisive terms, that the preli. minaries of August 1 constituted an unaltered and unwavering basis of the peace negotiations. This semiofficial statement appeared to many not merely an avant courier of replies of the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin to the Anglo-French representations in favour of Denmark declining all foreign interven tions, but also as a method of appeasing distrustful public opinion. In the latter respect the object was certainly attained, for people have generally grown tolerably weary of the SchleswipHolstein question; and who could suppose it possible that two military Powers like A - astria and Prussia, after the success which has attended their arms, should permit even the slightest change in the preliminaries they had conquered ? Nevertheless, the reports of concessions of the great Germ an P owers to D enmar k assume daily a more serious shape, and if we are to credit the news from Copenhagen the preliminaries of the 18th August, declared unalterable some days ago with semi official pathos, have already ceased in their most important points to constitute the basis of the definitive peace to be concluded with Den. mark. Mark well I Denmark first declared she would only prolong the armistice provided she obtained the cessation of the occupation of Jutland as an equivalent for the abandonment of the blockade of the German ports stipulated by that armistice ; then she demanded the return of a good portion of North Schleswig to cover the flank of Funen ; and now she actually hopes to render the preliminaries altogether illusory, and get back the Duchies by means of the personal union advocated by Russia and the Western Powers. Are the diplomatists really to destroy in this question, as in so many others, that which the sword appeared to have vic toriously decided ? " We do not say that the Danish hopes will be fulfilled ; but it appears to us hardly matter for doubt that the situation has become far less favour able to the great German Powers than it was some weeks ago, and that the Conference negotiations have hitherto yielded either no results at all, or only unfavourable results to Germany. Despite all her reverses and humiliations, Denmark, reckon ing upon German patience, has contrived, with her old faithlessness, to protract the negotiations ; and since the heir to the Russian throne has betrothed himself at Fredricsburg to King Christian's second daughter, the influence of Russia—who only aban doned her claim upon Holstein under condition that a blood relation of the Russian Imperial House should ascend the Schleswig-Holstein throne—has become all powerful at the court of Copenhagen. France also endures with illsconcealed anger the incorpora tion of Schleswig-Holstein with Germany; and it is well known that England would even prefer Russian to Ciermuu sway in the Duchies on the Elbe ; Weigh. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Time; Correspondent , ) NEW YORR, Sept. 9. General M'Clellan has formally accepted the I Chicago nomination, but explained away the I " platform" of the Conventi on . lie is for union " at all hazards," but will not, even to restore the Union, consent to set aside the Constitution of the United States, or make the abolition of slavery a sine qua non of discussiona tending to the restora tion of peace. He says nothing of the armistice and convention of the States which was the ruling idea of the Convention. Without repudiating either the language, the sentiments, or the intention of the re• solutions adopted by that body, he puts his own in terpretation upon them ; and, if elected, will come into office nnpledged to anything but the Union and the Constitution—a Union already at an €td, and a Constitution superseded in one-half of what was once the Great Republic, and trampled under foot on the plea of military necessity in the other. Be tween Mr. Lincoln and General!M.Clell an there is little to choose on public grounds. The one would restore the Union by fire, sword, abolition of negro slavery, and extermination of the white people ; the the p eo pl e or the except ind e p en d en ce. That other would restore it by offering the S ou th every thingb a t offer ffe r t claims , fa l failing or c t a o n c l conciliate aim leaders, he would be in the same predicament as Mr. Lincoln, and compelled either to make peace with an enemy whom he had vainlytowar asr till trive one nto e c p o a e r r t c y e o o r r t h p e e rostubaedre was, o b r carryroen kand exhaust e d. To on the the South—it it have the strength and the will to persevere—the difference between the two candi dates resolves itself into as little as that between those renowned musicians—" Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee." The tune is fundamentally the same —the sole divergence from the score consisting in the flourishes and the appooiature. The Republican party, seeing the danger which menaces it from divided councils, is rapidly closing up its ranks. Mr. Horace G reely has accepted support p r . or Lincoln with t a and will for the future pt him h all the infl uence at his command. Mr. Chase will doubtless be found in the Lincoln ranks when the day of ballot approaches, and every effort will be made to induce General Fremont to withdraw. Mr. Lincoln's friends look for help in every quarter, and despise none that is offered, however feeble. Even the pert spinster who de livers parrot-like lectures to grey-bearded men upon the strategy of generals and the policy of statesmen, and who formerly had no words contemptuous enough to express her estimate of Mr. Lincoln's abilities, is paraded in the Republican journals as having resolved to support his claim to re-election. Miss Dickinson does not seem to have changed her opinion of Mr. Lincoln personally, but will support him, because the party has and can have now no other choice. " Either the Republican party must control," she says, "or Heaven will weep and hell laugh aloud," and other buncombe to the same effect. Mr. Wendell Phillips has not yet pronounced on the question; but, if General Fremont should be induced to retire, will doubtless help the cause of Mr. Lincoln by his silence, if he cannot advance it by his vote or his oratory. Mr. Seward, of course, accepts the pleasant duty of supporting his chief, and thereby himself, as Secretary of State for another term of four years, or 20 years, or any longer time that it may take to make him President of the 34 States. Being at home in his native village of Auburn, he was serenaded by a large concourse of his friends and neighbours, in celebration of the barren, but, as it then appeared both to Auburn and New York, the fruitful victory achieved by General Sherman at Atlanta. The Secretary made a speech in recognition of the honour, and in support of Mr. Lincoln a nd denunciation of General M'Clellan, which has attracted more than , usual notice and comment, i n consequence of the remarkable assertions it conta i ns an d the strange disclosures which it mak es , Mr. Seward is always genial and joyous, except per h aps when he rings his little bell to consign a p o litical opponent to Fort Lafayette or Fort Warren. But even then it is to be supposed that the grimness is but transient, and that the originally kindly nature relaxes into hilarious benevolence towards all mankind—the aforesaid prisoner not included. His speech at Auburn partook of all his usual characteristics. It wa s hopeful, reckless, indi scr eet, and, without offence, it may be added untruthful. It was " hope ful" when he said that under the influence of the cheering news from Atlanta all the discontent and despondency of the people had disappeared, and 1 that the " rebellion" had become a mere eggshell that would be speedily crushed, "being brittle with the exhaustion of the vitality within." It was " reckless" when he asserted that there would be no draught, "because the army was being rein.. every forced at the rate of from 5,000 to 10,000 men per day by volunteer in g ." These words were said on Monday the s th.

Can r. Seward b elieve this ? Or does a n y one in America believe t hat even ; and if the M one half of the number has been forthcoming within three months ? M a r i . sn to Seward y his sanguine . He takes no p to be relied upon for his facts by any one who d esires to ascer v verify f i s much fi figures, too r es a n dis not ascer tain the truth upon comp etent auth ority. The in discretion of his speechpal pabl e . is equally He told his audience that it was n ecessar y not only to vote Mr Lincoln in again as president, but " to fight him in." He also admitted that " the Federal capital was in some sort held constantly in siege by the rebels," a gloomy truth which seems to have escaped his lips by accident and was not at all in keeping with the otherwise roseate hues of his oration. Nor was it less indiscreet, see i n g that Mr Lincoln, if he is to be a successful candidate for the Presidency, must secure the undivided vote of the Republican and Abolition party, to proclaim in his behalf that the Niagara letter, to " all whom it might concern," was to be repudiated, and that the famous procla mation emancipating the slaves of the South " for ever," and declaring the intention of the Govern ment to maintain such freedom by the sword, would become a dead letter as soon as the South should lay down its arms and consent to re-enter the Union. Is such the policy of Mr Lincoln as the actual Presi dent ? And will Mr Lincoln, as President expectant, demand the suffrages of his party upon such a plat form ? If an affirmative answer be returned to these questions, Mr Lincoln has changed his mind since he wrote his letter to Niagara, and will break up the Republican party. If the answer be in the nega tive, where is the discretion o his Secretary of State Mr. Aytoun, M,P., on the Danish Question In an address to his constituents at Kirkaldy, on We nesday, the hon, gentleman said—With regard to the Dano German question, he thought that the feeling was generally prevalent throughout the country that Government, in de clining to involve us in war, had arrived at a sound and wise conclusion. (Applause.) He was of opinion that very considerable misapprehension had prevailed for a long time as to the quarrel between Germany and Denmark with re spect to the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. He thought that at the time the negotiations wore going on, and until the debate in July bad given an opportunity for the ex pression of the ideas of persons who held different, and, in some cases, diametrically opposite opinions upon this sub ject, the whole question was very considerably misunder stood. And to his mind one of the most extraordinary and most erroneous impressions which prevailed was that we might have conferred a great boon upon the Danes; that we might have gone to their assistance and enabled them to escape the calamities which had befallen them without in curring any great risk, or at all events without being in volved in a war of any great magnitude or any very long duration. Now, he thought that this was a most erroneous impression. Some people imagined that in undertaking a war in defence of the Danes we should have had:to oppose the force of the two despotic Germanic Powers—Austria and Prussia. And he had heard Lord Palmerston blamed since the conclusion of the session for taking what was called " low ?ground" on this matter. Lord Palmerston stated that in the event of us having gone to war we should only have been able to send 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers to the Duchies to defend the Danes, and that we should have been opposed to an army of such magnitude that our 40,000 or 50,000 would not have been able to effect any considerable result against the force that would have been opposed to it. Now it appeared to him that Lord P almerston was quite justified in the assertion which he made. He (Mr Aytoun) did not think it could rightly be desci ibed as taking " low ground," for a nation before going to war, to form an esti mate of the forces which it could spare for the struggle, and of the strength of the force which it had to meet. (Applause.) With regard, again, to the impression which had prevailed that we should only ha 70 had to oppose the two great despotic Powers, he n Lust also be allowed to say that that was also a con rplete mistake. He believed that we should not only pave been opposed to those Powers, but also to the entire population of Germany. Mr Aytoun pi .oceeded to give a lengthy statement of the history of ' the Dano-German ques tion, and to sketch the circumstant ses out of which the dif ferences across that ultimately issue din the war in Denmark. He traced the connection which hi id existed between Den mark and the Duchies, and show , xi that the relationship between them had always been of a complicated character, arising, among others, out of the e liffi,rent orders of succes sion that prevailed in Denmark as tti the Duchies. He be lieved that for the last 20 years gre zif dissatisfaction had pre vailed in the Duchies against the GI ivernment of Denmark. He bogged it moreover to be borne i i mind that in Germany what was called the principle of nationalities had been adopted with great ardour by the pc ople. Over all Europe, in fact, there seemed at present a gri eat desire among popula tions of the same race to become um ited under the same Go vernment.

Now, it appeared to him that if we allowed this to be done, if we supplied the Impe rial Government with the means of overcoming their ene mies by giving them men trained under British officers that wo should be jast as much responsible as if we allowed these officers to take service in the imperial array. He hoped the Government of this country would be induced to give up all interference in Chinn, and that they would abandon a system whi,h, he believed, involved us in very serious re sponsibilities, and which he was sure sooner or later, if it was persevered in, would compel us to take icon active . steps in orde r t o b r i ng to an end t h ose di sasters w hi c h that policy would inevitably bring upon the Chinese.
