The Washington correspondent of The N. Y.
Times reports as follows
%" Il generally stated sud believed tina. g. L. NJ Barlow Of
New Yori furnished the Agent OF the Aocia,sd frsn with
the report Of Mr. stsn,ons alleged compliment 20 Gen Nc
Clesn In the Railroad Convention which Mr.. Stanton has
d!ssyowed"
This corresponds with authoritative Informs.
ton which has reached US from another source,
and we are accordingly bound to believe it true.
Mr.. Barlow is a lawyer of this city, of the
firm of BOwdOn, Larocque & Barlow, his
partner, Jere. Lnrocque, having distinguished
himself two or .sarce years ago in an attempt
to mob Wendell Phillips at the Cooper ln't''
tute, for which he wes locked up by the Police
Ia the same crei!tsblc performance, Mr. Bar
low was also an actor, il We are not mistaken
but We believe he escaped with no further
punishment than being hustled out Of tho room.
Mr. Barlow has always been a Pro Slavery
Democrat Of the most ultra type. He was,
with Malcolm Ives, lately imprisoned ~ spy
by order Of Secretary Stanton, one Of the
authors Of the famous, or rather infamous,
i
Watts Sherman and Royal Phelps Ind to make
prett, decided amends 10 Mr.. Cerrit Smith.
1t has been autboritatively stated that Barlow
affixed Mr. Phopr's name to that Manifest"
without his knowledge or consent, after Phelps
had positively refused TO sign II. Ii this be
true. .he Transaction was perfectly analogous
to Mr. Barlows present exploit in inlerpclatiDg
into the report Of Mr. Stsntou's speech
passage he never uttered, and su opinion which
is not bis.
Nr. Barlow has not only been consistent
in his extreme views respecting Slavery, but
he has maintained the most intimate relations
with leading Seces.ionists. No man in New
York was w We'll informed respecting their
schemes ns he, no man ymPathized with them
20 entirely. In all places aud on all occasions
he frankly aTowed himself their friend and CO.
operator, until the uprisng Of the North rem.
dered such avowals dangerous. He has APP
parently since corresponded with them, how
ever: for not long ago he paid at tho Union
Club tie dues of Mr. Judah T.. Benjamin,
Jel Dayis's Secretary OF War, aud also Sc
cured for this arch traitor the privilege OF re-
signing from the Club. instead of being ex-
PEELED, proceeding which was generally
thought t. cover the Union Club with dis
grace. With these facts in mind, no ono will
be suppri,ed when We add that Mir. Barlow
has long been an object Of suspicion 10 the
authorities and has been kept under police sur
yeillance on account Of his supposed treason.
able proclivties.
With respect to Mr.. Bsrlow's personal rela-
tor. with Gen. Mcclellan, We Say at the out
set that we approach the subject with re-
Mctance but that bis declarations on the sub
ieci--c'u only eviJence-ore 80 positive aud 80
unrcservcd that we do not feel ourselves at
liberty to ignore them. According TO these,
he has long been the intimate friend and conf
dental legal adviser Of tie General, who, by
tie way, was Superintendent Of the Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad when he reentersd the
army, aud Of that corporation Mr.. Barlow is
tho yice-Presdent. Mr.. Barlow also con.
stnutly represents Gen. Mcclellan ~ sharing
bic own opinions on the Slavery question; and
lie has been heard to cay, in public places,
what his friends Malcolm Ives and James
Gordon Bennett have said in The Herald, thai,
under certain circumstances. Mcclellan would
drive this Abolition Congress from the Capitol
By armed force; ana va are told, on tho au-
thsrity of bis own statement. that during his
recent WRIT TO Washington. when this fraudu-
lent puff Of Mcclellan WIS interpolatcd into
the report Of Mr.. Stantons speech. he was tho
guest Of Gen. Mcclellan, and wes lodging in
bis house.
Under ordinary aspects, tho peculiar scts
Of Mr. Barlow might be- Of little importance;
in the present condition Of the Republic they
become Of consequence. We trust that, for
the sake Of the country, Gen. Mcclellan will
loco 10 time in disclaimDg all relationship with
such friend.
