PROSTATE all the great business interests
exhaust the resources Of the country, and
render a reconstruction Of the Union i'm.
possible. Leaders Of the dominant party
are for war. War places at their dspo.
sal numerous Offices and immense sums
Of money, and thus adds to their power
and influence, and enables them to enrich,
at the expense Of the public, their relatives
and retainers. Army contractors are for
the war. They make money by il, while
it costs them nothing. The reckless and
the ambitious are for war, because war
must have its Captains and ColonCls and
Generals. What proportion do these

MORE FACT THAN FANcY.-Some home
truths are Being told on the Republican
party, and the swindling contract spccu.
lations Of the Cabinet come in for good
share Of denunciation. The Philadelphia
Erenin0 Bulletin Of late date, SAYS:
"a vast number of those rost loud in their
outcry for the suppression ot the rebellion, are
actuated BY selfish motives some desiring the
names Of patricia, eome to cover fat contracts,
some to get civil or military positions, some 10
get commerce under full Roadway again, and
acme to save their pride and the humiliation 81
having to acknowledge that their native land
is only half a. big as it was"
Now, il the persons above described,
together with the disciples Of Greeley and
Giddings, be withdrawn from the war
party, how many will be left! Aside
from the officers, spectators, contractors
and fanatics, few wish the war continued.
In another article defending Gen. Scott,
who has been savagely censured since the
disaster at Manassas Junction, the BuIIe.
tin thus hits the ungenerous assailantx Of
the General;
1.-THE eenseless howiers Of forward to Rich
mond, are the chief authors Of the country
disgrace and sorrow. the chief sgents, in the
sacrifice Of 80 many noble lives at Manassas.
This is pretty severe, coming from q
Republican war journal. II is also indie
alive Of a change in public sentiment in
the Northern States, and shows that a
powerful peace party is springing up in
the Administration ranks.
