The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1861-07-13

The corrsspondsacs Of Nesthern papers
from Warrington rsprsssns division in the
councils Of the enemy. % the surface there
appears entire unaIimity for tho prosecution
OF the war en- the largest scale; but under the
surface 4 confict is said To be wagng Ct an
irv pres sible nature. The contending factions
are raid to be headed respectively by SEWARD
aud GsxgLsv SEWARD being sick Of the war
and appalled, at the results looming in the per-
spective GREELEY being full Of the Niger
and advocating its prosecution, at all essss'
unto the liberation Of the slaves.
Though neither Of these philosophers can
| be said to be wise in his generation, each OF
thcm has a sort of wisdom in his way. GREE
LEY Is for giving the war an object which Will
a.,rsct to it tho sympathics Of mankind.
wagcd for the purpose avowsd BY LINCOLN In
! his Message, that ia to say, merely tor uphold
| ing and preserving the Federal Government
| it is no more NOS less than war OF suo,usa
lion and in wars Of this sort the sympa-
THEA of mankind are always enlisted in
behalf Of those sought to be crushed. GREELEY
secs this evident tendency Of the public feeling
ia behalf of tho South, and wishes to correct
it by his invariable expedient Of the niger.
Without Uncle Tom, the Northern end of the
scale of Justice must kick the beam; and
GREELEY is for throwing in the tremendous
avoirdupois of negro emancipation. There is
much method in the madness Of this truculent
fanatic. He knows, too, that the war cannot
be- made popular with recruits without the
allurements Of booty and beauty" and he
| knows that freeing the Stare will excuse and
cover a multitude of atrocities in the eye OF
the easily quilted world. He would treat tbs
Southern STAKEHOLDER as a monster in hui, an
shape he would hold him up to the world as
| deserving any fate that the most barbarous
soldisry could in1ict upon him and he would
thus secure license for those atrocities by the
psrmission of which he would popularize en-
listments at the North. GREELEY, in short, is
all fsnatic;sm with only the cunning needful
TO efectuate his political aims.
SEWARD, on the contrary, is all cunning
without any fanaticism. He cares no more
for the negro than for the horse or the mule,
except so far as it may serve his turn asa
politician. He looks at this war as poll
tician; and, having a strong mind and clear
perception, he sees nothing but ruin before
him. He has sagacity enough to know that
the South cannot be suhjugated; and that the
war he is waging must sooner or later prove
a failure. He we'll understands what fate
must then overtake the politicians who had a
part in it, Defeat, disgrace, heavy taxes,
enormous debt, commercial ruin, national dis
appointment and remorse-these will be mill
stones that will sink their authors into the
depths of perdition, below the reach Of the
hand of resurrection. In the whole course Of
the affair, he has taken care of his record as a
friend and advocate Of peace. With his
friend WEED, he was earliest in the field fox
Cancellation. 1t was with aim that the Sub
missionists of the Virginia Convention held
their secret negotiations, while they ought to
have been placing the State in condition of
defence. He is known to have been in favor
of Withdrawing the troops from Fort Sumter
But for the pressure of abolition opinion at
the North, he would have avertod war and
consented to peaceful secession, If he could
not have compromised the difficulties that
troubled the country. Trusting for A moment
to the popularity of the war, he embarked in
it. He was the only man in America who
could have prevented it but was too cowardly
and selfish to lift his arm to stay it. The pressure
of opinion is still too strong to admit of concili-
atory measures. He must so on with the war;
but he has taken care to throw out demand
for troops and funds, which is calculated
greatly to depress that ardor Of the populace
which has thrust him unwil.ingiy into so
much trouble.
His call for four hundred thousand men and
four hundred millions of dollars, must have been
intended for this sort Of effect at the North.
1t is certainly not too large demand for the
purpose to be subserved. But in every point
of view was it irjudicious for sincere friend
of the war to make it. 1t will do the cause of
the South more good than a battle, and the
cause Mt the North more harm than many de-
feats. SGngy of both, the Yankee is Diuch
less chary of his blood than Of his dollars
lie will risk life and soul for gain. To tell
him that this war is to cost him four hundred
millions Of dollars is to pronounce anathema
maranatha upon it and all its authors. Sc
WARD was against it and GREELEY for it and
SEWARD has struck GREELEY a very hard
bl ow in the Message.
1t is noteworthy that Secretary CHASE, in
his Report to Congress, pays no attention to
the huge demand of the Message for men and
money. CHASE is known to have been an
original war man, and he palpably snuhs the
demand of the Message. The silence of tho
fiscal officer of the Cabinet on so important a
recommendation, is significant. 1t shows that
CHASE and SEWARD are not in accord, and
that LINCOLN is too much of an imbecile to
exact for his own recommendations the COM
bined support of his Cabinet. CHASE would
seem to be on the side of GREELEY and the
bloody BLAIRs.
War usually unites the contending factions
of party. This war Of LINCOLN seems to
have failed of this result Before the cur
tains they are all furiously jealous for the war;
behind the curtains they have daggers for
each other.
