Oauseless war.

The London Dial of Dec. 9th, speaks
boldly out against England's going to war
on the simple point that Captain Wilkes
violated the law Of nations in not taking
the Trent as prize, and says; ~
s.UndeT any circumstances we would not
approve Of war on this issue. Unless It is
folly or hypocrisy 10 talk Of Christianity as
de6oiDg the dnty of nations, the nation
commits sin which goes to war to avenge
= petty insult. Il would be preposterons
70 msintoin that the existence, tho pros
perity, or any real interest Of Englsnd is Al
stake 10 the present Instance. il Is beyond
doubt that by reference to arbitration the
affair could be hoporably settled, and we
cannot conceive any Christian man affirm
ing that, except in case 81 necessity, il il
lawful for a patton 10 shed torerrnts ofbiood.

quarrel, no Christian munster could pray,
no Christian soldier could fight, Every

ample 10 our public men, and we call upon
influential members Of Parliament to Step
forward and declare that war in such 4
quarrel would be hdisgEacs . our couptsy.

The Hon. Schuyler Colfax writes to Che
81. Joseph Register, that in Congress The
sentiment amongst the Republican mem-
bers as to "what shall be done with the
slavesf seems TO be harmonizing more
than appeared possible a month ago. Mr
@. adds: W. ''
There are evidently three shades OF opin-
ion amongst really loyal men on the sub
ject. The first would demand the utter
abolition Of slavery as being guilty, in ad-
dition to all its previous wrongs, Of causing
the civil war into which the country has
been plunged by the traitors. The second,
which goes to the other extreme, would re-
quire that slavery, as tho great Institution
Of the South, should not bo touched-that
the fugitives should be returned by the
army--that ProcIamations should issue
guaranteeing protection TO that and all 9th
or "rights" Of the Slave States, thus seek
ing to purchase the loyalty Of the Border
States-and the third is the middle ground
between the other two, which without at
tackipg any fright" Of Union men, declares
that as slavery las proved an element ol
strength to the rebels in arms, who seek tc
destroy this Government, their slaves shall
DO declared free, and every kind Of property
, claimed or possessed by them shall bo con
6scated to the Government, thus proving
to them and the world that we are iu earn
est 10 our determination to crush ont this
rebellion and to punish those engaged ia
, it. After two nights debate in caucus, and
considerable private discussion, this last
/ ground was unanimously adopted by the
Republicans. Messrs. Lovejoy, Ashley
, Bingham and others, who are regarded as
|, the most radical of the party, cordially as
sented to this platform, on which, though
! not up to their advanced position, the con
test could be fought out successfully in tht
field, and before the loyal people at home
and will give it their hearty aid; Will
others, regarded as quite conservative, wer
willing 10 advance to it. 1t is said tba
not all of the Cabinet are quite up to thi
yet; but if the loyal masses endorse it,
doubt if any of them will hold back. 1t i
so manifestly Just and deserved that won
der that any one can hesitate as to its ap
proval. s....s -
| In regard TO the position of the Presi
dent on the question, the Washington cor
respondent ofthe Chicago Tribune writes
"Mr. Lincoln assures his friends without re
serve in conversation that he is in favor Of
measures which shall enable us to deprive
every rebel from from Virginia to Texas o
bis slaves and every other species Of prop
erty, and that the only disagreement
which can rise between himself and Con-
gress will relate to the details of the bill
which may be adonted" r'r

why ne is now a union TIan.

A very intelligent Maryland gentleman
who has always been a democrat, and in
the last campaign was an ardent Breckin.
ridge man, was in this city last spring. and
was at that time one of the most ulira-se-
cessionists to be found. He shortly after
wards left here for business tour through
South America, and returned a few DAYS
since. He is now in favor of preserving
the Union at every hazard. When asked
what caused the change in bis views he re-
piled that few years since he was through
Sonth America and, as citizen Of the
United States no was treated with the high
est consideration and respect. This time
everything was changed. In every little
State Of Central and South America b,
was iusulted, and when he spoke of hii
nationality was laughed at and tauntec
with The rupture here. "You talk of the
United States" say they; "you bave nc
country now; you have been so boastful-
You are no longer in condition to fit out
fillbustering expeditions. and prey upon
your weaker neigbbors. You will soon be
as weak as the weakest" Our friend was
SO forcible struck with the contrast between
his position as a citizen Of the United
States few years since and now that hi
views changed and though formerly a strong
States rights man, he is now as strongil
in favor Of n consolidated government o
the stiffest kind-anything strong enough

After Senator PowelI,

The Louisville Journal intermits its as
salts upon the President and his presumed
policy long enough to hit Senator Powell
bard and we'll directed blows. The fellow
ing are the last hard hits.
1t is truly surprising that Gov. Powell
does not resign his seat in the Senate of the
United States. We should suppose that he
would do this from feeling of personal
pride or feeling of common regard fol
public sentiment and the sentiment of hi;
co-Senators if for nothing else. We sup
pose he processes to be loyal, but the loya
men of Henderson, recently his neighbor'
and associates, do not believe him to be so
the loyal men of Kentucky generally do moi
believe him to be so; and the loyal Nom
bers of the U. s. Senate do not believe him
to be so. He must and does know, that al
the very best, be is suspected, and that hi;
brother Senators are not willing TO have
him in their councils. What proud man
could prevail on himself to persist in hold
Jog plabe among men known to deem hin
unfit to be their associate?
Let Mr.. Powell resign. And if he vii
not resign, let the Senate expel him on tht
ground of the peril of allowing a suspected
rebel to know the secrets Of its secret ses
sions.
Traitors should not sit in those halls.
