PHILADELPHIA, Wednesday, June -, 1861.
The time was that when light was called for, it
came. But the command was uttered by Omnpotence.
Our own calls, though constant and loud, puny;
| yet not more 30 than the answer In fact, we get
| nothing. We are wholly in the dark. We do not
understand this cam agn. 1t may be that it is better
for the country that thus kept in ignorance.
We have put certain men in power TO do the very
things they presumed TO be doing; hence 1t is
their business, not Yet itching 20 be ad-
United behind the curtain. One thing in particular we
want TO know. How is it that every Major-General
who ventilaes himself in proclamation on taking up
the line of march to the eDemys country, comes forth
with huperscrviceable zeal with pledge that insur
recton shall DO put down with an iron hand" or as
General Patterson specifically Gays, Eat once 10
"suppress serriie insunection." We want TO know
from whom these gentlemen received their orders TO
promise the doing Of this dirty work for the miserable
wretches whose treason has brot mp the foundations
of business among twenty millions Of people who Iced
no such work done for them. Butler began these
pledges in Maryland then McClelland followed him in
Virginia, and now comes Patterson in Pennsylvania
It is true that all Pattersons antecedents are
of the cotton stripe. for thence came lis pile.
This may account for him. but not for the others. How
many other officiating proclamatons of the same
abOminable character are we TO baye-for fear, in
spite of all the nfames heaped upon U.S. that the dirt
eaters are not all dead yet. You may say that
bodys hurt but assuredly somebody's to blame for
this. The plain English OF the matter is that don't
like il. Now let have fair understanding about
this matter. We don't claim that the object Of the
North in pouring ont its wealth Of men and money as
il has done, was any other than that Of maintaining
the Government Indeed we go further-it did not go
TO war TO abolish Slavery. But-and we call heaven
to witness tive old not take mp arms to keep it alive
Now mark the difference, for il is vital one. Hence,
having ourselves 60 clear an understanding Of the
question, want to know why our Maor-Generas
less enlightened Their early eagerness to take up
clubs 10 perpetuate Slavery is what We cannot under.

Slavery take care of itsel We raised troops TO put

Our army must have more sense than its Generals.
Mr.. Dallas convcrses very unreseryediy about the
feeling OF the British Ministry toward this Government
He believes the Ministry to be hostile TO us, and that
Lori John Russers early recognition Of the Rebels as
begerents was not premature declaration to be re-
pented Of hereafter, but deliberate policy TO be adj
hered TO- rs lar as goes He is disposed to believe
that the great arbier is COtton-that us The stock ON
hand will keep the English mills employed until No
yember the Ministry will not openly counenance the
rebellion until it il ascerained whether the crop is
TO DO exported or not. II crush the Rebels and per-
init the new crop to be exported, all will be ssfacto
ry to John Bull if we fail 10 do co. and Bull has to do
without cotton then some occasion will be found 10 get
up difficulty and force the blockade. 1.-THE war here
continues until November, Bull will keep toleraby
quiet, making only occsSonsl roaring Hence nsthe
time for shipping the cropapproacher, the question
of how England act will be more clearly an
swered Mr. Dallas think hsth the Ministry were to DO
too openly for the Rebellion now, Exeter Hall would
turn them out forthwith while, unless they made some
chow of favorng the Cotton Lorr they would do the
same thing; ~ is for Office after ALL that they are
contending their future policy will be just such Us they
may think the most likely to insure 10 them ccniinu
ance of power. He is of opinion that France ana
England will pursue TN identical policy with respect to
us, be that what it may. / see that Mr. Dayton has
had quite good time of 1t with Napoleon. No doubt
they are old personal acquaintance, for you know Ma

miles from Trenton and that as he was then free and

which Mr. Dayton is shrewd enough to improve.

which Gov Curtin declared to be infamous, yet be did
not veto it, and stands on the statute book, the
parties against whom it was leveed having sturdy
refused to pay black mail 1t will 60 to breaking
up our Board of Brokers, who seriously talk Of
removing to Camden, there to do their buying and sell
ing. When this bill WAS it's passage, the lobby
thieves came down here to know how much money
they could get from the brokers TO have 1t laid aside
But as this game Of plumber il tried every year. and
The brokers have resoutey refused TO be blackmaied
40 they did on this OCCASION and the bill became law
The excessively dull times at the Board directing
attention TO s ovisions It requires every broker to
mako return, undt oah of all the particulars Of his
private business, how much commission he has re-
oeived low much profit he has made how much CAPT
tai lie has and IN fact exercises scandaous espionage
over all his transactions, under penalty OF 81 900 for
refusing to obey, beside exacting tax of three per
cent on his profits in addition to the 900 now re-
CURED for license. This law is but sample of much
of the odous legislation which greatly checks enter
price and business here.
