Hon. Amos Kendall ON General
...s- Hunters Order.

The Hon. Amos Kendall, who has so no.
bly, and ably indicated the rights OF the Ma.
tional Government against Secession, sends
the following letter to the National Intelh-
galcer..
GENERAL HUETER's LATE ORDER. s
WAsHISGToN, May 10, 1862.
10 the Editors Of uie National Intelhgeneer:
My attention has been called to Wash
ington letter in the Philsdelphia Press in
which the wIiler, after quoting passage
from one Of my letters published in your pa
per, says: s7
"Thus it will be seen that even the veteran
Democrat, Amos Kendall, while objectiDg to
the course OF the AbolitonEts, is entitled to
the credit OF having made the proposition
which General Hunter has thus practically
carried out" GEE
Now, should consider myself traitor to
my country, il were to approve the late or.
der Of General Hunter purporting to set free
all the slaves within his military district
While exposing to the Southern rebels the
gulf which is yawning before them, the con
ception never entered my brain that any
military commander, or the President him
SELF could coDstituuonally, by general order
or proclamation, ,confscate their property and
emancipate their slaves, or that such an object
could be effected otherwise than by convic-
ton for treason by due course of law in the
courts Of justice. In the order Of General
Hunter l see the essence OF military despot-
ism, utterly subversive Of the Constit tuition
we are-fghting to maintain; and it is deplor.
able that the President does not, by the en-
lorcement ofa general line of policy repress
those assumptions OF power by his subordi-
mates. Every such assumption unrebuked by
him exposes him aud Congress itself to the
charge othypocrisy and perfidy in their an
nouncements oil the purposes for which the
war is waged; it discourages the loyal men
in all the slayeholding States, and in an equal
degree encourages the leading rebels; it will
cost the North thousands OF lives and mill
ions OF money; it alarms conservative men
every here, and makes them begin to think
their own liberties in danger. it strengthens
disloyal men in loyal States and enables
them to embarrass the Government in its
legitimate operations. In fine there is but
one safe course for the Government to pursue
and that is to disregard all party affiliations
and adhere firmly to the programme original
ly announced, viz: "The prosecution of the
war for the sole object oil preserving the Con-
stitution and the Union with the rights Of the
States intact, to be followed by peace as soon
as those objects can be attained" II there
be not firmness enough in the Administra-
tion to do this, we are oD sea Of revolution
with scarcely hope of ever again reaching
the haven Of unity and peace.

So ia Goes.

When the Rebellion first broke out, the
Abolitionists were the worst scared people
in the country. They did not want to fight
themselves, and they knew the Democracy
would not enlist under the banner of negro
emancipation. Accordingly, they expressed
a sorrow-apparently honest--at the calami.
ty Of civil War, and declared their determi,
nation to assist in putting down the rebell
ion and restoring the Union as it was. 10
this no one could object, and we all bent our
energies together. But the war had not
been long on hands till the spirit Of the
Abolitionists became clear. They soon per.
ceived that slavery was used to sustain the
rebellion and that "mili ary necessity
would compel the Government to set the
slaves free, Still they thought it would be
great calamity in the present condition ol
the negro. But the South had brought it
upon themselves. and they must bear the
consequences. Old Abe and the Republicans
held back. Progressing still further, the
Abolitionists soon saw that the war did not
mean anything unless it was for the ex.
termination Of slavery; and 1t would be a
useless waste Of blood and treasure If final
and immediate emancipation were not the
result. Besides, they hold that slavery has
caused the war, and they want the cause re.
moved, SO we will never have another war.
they are now boldly and openly for the
overthrow Of slavery, by force, Now, any
one. who will look how the Republicans
how all anti i-Dsmocrats--haye followed in
the wake Of Abolition sentiments for the last
ten years. can see plainly that the next step
Of the Administration will be to occupy the
present ground of the Abolitionists. Mr.
Lincoln, in his proclamation countermandipg
the proclamation OF Gen. Hunter, intimates
that the time may come and the necessities
may arise when he will himself pursue the
same course and declare the slaves free.--
Still, the Republicans are not Abolitionists
The South commenced the war and have
brought all its results upon themselvs. Ohio

Good A dYice.

Joel Parker, the distinguished jurist OF
Massachusetts, heretofore acting with the
Republican party, gives q short but pithy
piece of advice to that party through the
Boston Journal He says:
"Will you permit me to say that the soon-
er the Republican party cuts itself loose from
all unconstitutional projects, whether they
relate to emancipation by proclamation, con-
quering States and holding them as Terrific
RIGS, contiscation without trial; or any other
measure not warranted by the Constitution)
the sooner it will begin to provide for Its own
salyation 2Jt

'sCould you have seen the hustle that it
occasioned in these parts you would have
been surprised. In less than an hour l heard
four Coonels, as many Majors. and every
soldier that heard say any thing about it,
say they would leave the army--the officers
would resign, the pliYates rebel; and your
correspondent would, with all the influence
he possesses, be it much or little encourage
them in such course. Has it come to this
that our Government has not enough Ameri
cans to fight her battles to preserve her in
dependence, to crush any and all rebellions
that may germinate in her midst, without
calling in the aid OF the negro? If not the
die is cast, and our nationality is gone, and
the sooner the better. This may be but a
rumor, but is in consonance with some of
the late movements of the radical Abolition
party in Congress. a@
LET our present Congress be,oare. They
have done enough, and If they go no further,
they will be looked upon as men who de-
sired TO save the Union, and nothing more.
Some of your readers may think all this
hasty and out of place; they will yet learn
that there is power in the army of the Un
tied States-a power which, if properly
cared for and cultivated, will be productive
of the happiest national results, but if tam
pered with by designing politicians, or par
tisan demagogues, or are to be made the
vehicle upon which to ride some sectional
or radical party into power, it but becomes
the lever Of national destruction. All these
side issues lengthen out the hours of the re.
bellion; weaken the bonds Of our army, aug
ment our national indebtedness, distress the
people, and in the end will produce the most
disastrous results. s'H
"We have men enough, means enough, and
will enough in the army to finish the work
for which they were called cut, if the proper
policy is now pursued. Let us, then, unite
now more determinedly than ever to close up
this fearful drama in our national history.
Do it soon, or our Republic will have learned
the art of war, AMI does not the history Of all
Republics show that it is a dangerous thing
for them to learn the art Of war, or, by habit
cultivate taste for the same?" '@'-

Let Democrats and Conservative

won only after years and years of toll.
Leaving nothing undone, relaxing no

their way, determined to conquer.
We repeat, let Conservative men
learn wisdom from Abolitionism. Let
them exhibit equal or greater perseve-
renee in THEIR labors, to restore the
country to its former position, to
bring back prosperity, peace and hap
