TIE WAR DEFENSIVE.

We desire to call the attention Of our read
ers to the following remarkable language, used
by the venerable Edward Everett at tho great
War Meeting held in Boston upon the 9th
inst.
"If the Cotton States. rather fcs ambitions political

These are not the words Of Tn TRBrNE.
nor Of Mr.. WENDELL PHILLIPS, nor of any
Republican, nor of any Aboitionist, for they
cone from one OF thr most cautious and even
tinid Of American statesmen--from one who
never speaks ten sentences III public without
giving them as many hours conslderauon--
from Que who would shrink from advocating
violent policy ~ lie would shrink from the
penetration Of crime. Mr.. Everett takes
high ard mprrgnable ground. He says die
tinctly that If tie Southern scccdcrs had taken
the only course having :be seublance of law
and Ofder-f they Lad submitted their wishes
10 a constitutional Congcntio-he for one
would have been willing they should try the
experiment" although he is sniIsiied that they
would soon have been upon their knees beg
cinQ for readuissiOn. 1t seems to u leu in
pOrtant that this euinebtly just view OF the
case should be fully understood both at home
and abroad. Especially ut this moment aud at
home when the Government is making the
most extraordinary exertions TO re-entorce the
army, and when the CONSUMPTION il ab0nt To
reach almost tyery family IN tie 10. States,
1t IL eminenty proper that men like Mr..
Everett should impress upon the popular mind
q sense Of the strict legal justice of our cause,
aud Of the simple fact that in this quarrel
every citizen who is called TO the struggle is
just as much personally injured az if J'tirrson
Dayis had stolen his pocket. book or his plato.
We may be impatient at the Administration; we
may consure Generals; We may criticize Con.
gress but, above all local aud petty dissatisiac-
TONS, every thoughtful mind will revert to tho
original cause of all our distress aud dscom-
nioditIes-to the simple original crime Of few

TEE QUESTION OF EUROPEAN
INTERVENTION.

The steamship Glasgow. which arrived yester-
day oil Cupe Race, brings us several important
items of news respecting the question ri lnt-r-
yeniion. Russia ia was to be expected, officially
denies hayItg joined France IN proposition oi
mediation. In the English Parliament, Earl
Rns-ell stated that no communicated lad been
received with regard To tins question ironi an!
other Power He admitted, however. that, If
mediation were To- be- offered, be wished 10 see
il offered by nil the Great Posers of Europe
conointy We regard all tins as Il conGrma-
ton of thr views expressed by us IN previous
articles that there Is no probability of mbedl-
ate Interference III cur war on the part ol any
Power ol Europe.
The LondOn Times shows itself very anxious
that I'll appearance of any design OF intervention
be- avoided. The Times evidently expects TO hear
by one If the next mails, that the Federal Gov
crnmrut has found 1t impossible TO raise BOO, 900
volunteers, ana has therefore given up the contest
rs useless. When 1t shall learn that the whole
force called for is to be- raised without difficulty,
and the war II about 10 bo renewed with fresh
ylgor, We must, of course, expect TO see lts tone

precision and result with which we nav
treated the Slavery question during the pres'n
year. After all is said. it is probable that Tue
Emancipation element in orr evil war has
been what has thus fur kept European peoples
from interfering in u contest which has peei
so prejudical to their economy aud industry
In spite of their own suffering, they have
looked on with folded hands that we might have
every chance to remove forever the hated tninl
from the face of the earth. Let US never DIS
appoint tie iorlorn hope OF the best men IL
Europe. Let us not end the war WITH
tie burden of Slavery still on our soil, to
parayze ard beDumb our revlving energies.
Let us away with it without peradventure,
and then We shall have acquired something
better than the sympathy of Europe-we shall
have the sense of deserving 1T.

COLUNBUs, Oct. 29, 1862.
EDS. LEADsR The Grand Division of
Ohio, s. of T., has to-day closed its Annual
Session in this city. The war has given this
Order a severe trial. There isnot Division
IN the State unrepresented in the Federal
Army, and many Divisions have furnished
so large a number as to leave scaree enough
behind to keep up the regular weekly meet
iugs, while some have been entirely broken
up from the same cause. Seven Divisions
haTe sent over ons hundred Of their members
to help crush out the rebellion. No more
loyal people exist than are to be found with
in this Order. .-.
The Session was not, Of course, as largely
attended as some former ones have been, but
much important business wag transacted, and
perfect harmony and good feeling prevailed
throughout.
Great credit is due to this order for the
good influence Of its members in the army
and camp.
The officers elect for the ensuing year are /:
W.P.-D. ". Gage, of Cleveland.
CIV. Al. J. Janney, Of Columbus.
G. S.-H. V. Horton, Of Cincinnati.
G. Tt. B. Thompson, Of Columbus.
G. Chap.-A. r. Palmer, of Medina.
g. Con.-R. I. Rust of Norwalk.
G. Sen.-B. Raser, Of MassillOn.
The semi-annual session meets at Norwalk
on the last Wednesday Of April, 1868, and the
annual session at Columbus on the last
Wednesday in October, 1868.
