CIRCULAR FROM SECRETARY SEWARD
The following ciruclar, by Mr.. Seward, ad-
dressed to all the diplomatic and consular a.
gents of the United States, is published in the
Paris papers. 1t will be noticed that the cir
cular is dated on the same day as the emanci-
patton proclamation:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
Washington, Sept 22.
Gentlemen: You will receive by the mail
which will carry you this despatch, evidence
which will convince you that the aggressive
movement of the rebels against the States re-
manning faithful TO the Union is arrested, and
that the forces of the Union, strengthened and
terminated, are again ready TO undertake a
campaign on vast scale. If you consult the
newspapers you win easily perceive that the
financial resources OF the insurrection decline
rapidly, and that the means OF raising troops
have been exhausted.
On the other side you will see that the flnan-
cial situation OF the country is good, and that
the call for fresh troops, without which the
material force of the nation would be seriously
crippled, Is being promptly responded to.
have already informed our representatives
abroad of the approach of a change in the So
cial organization of the rebel States. This
change continues to make itself each day more
and more apparent.
In the opinion of the President, the moment
has come to place the great fact more clearly
before the people of the rebel States, and to
make them understand that if these States per-
sist in imposing upon the country the choice
between the dissolution Of this Government,
at once necessary and beneficial, and the abo-
lition of slavery, it is the Union and not slave
ry that must be saved. With this object the
President is about to publish proclamation,in
which he announces that slavery will no lon
ger be recognized in any of the States which
shall be in rebellion on the 1st of Jan. next
While all the good and wise men of all coun-
tries will recognize this measure as a just and
proper military act, intended to deliver the
country from terrible civil war, they will re-
cognize at the same time the moderation and
magnaninity with which the Government pro-
ceeds in a matter so solemn and important
am, gentlemen, YOUR obedient servant,
WILLIAM Ii. SEWARD.
