We do not that ~ Drouyn de huys has said word

result OF the war What purpose would be served by

suppospg improbabiiy lei rs admit that The cabi-
nets OF 81 Petersburg aud London should agree with the
Cabinet OF Paris would tile triple proposition have any
chance Of being welcomed in the United s.aess We do
not believe IT, The republican party is in power: his
formally and lemnly expressed its viii many times TO
continue the uatl the reconstruction OF the Unionto
conquer or perish The democratic party, told,
has more concatory ideas II has some chance OF
stuting, by the new elections majority In Congress
get us admit rs cor:ain this very hazardous supposon.
The democratic party triumphs. That will not in any
way change the present state Of things and that victory
will be Of no effect The representatives, now TO be elected
will not take their seats in Congress this winter and i'll
not meet oether in regular session until the month Of
August 1865 whole year from the present time Until
time the republican Congress will sit cleo
items consequently viii have direct influence the
action Of the government.
Among the dispatches which have come to Us from the
seat OF war in the United Sates-dcspatches which con-

which merits particular attention. The federal troops

journal on the American question: and they will have d.
vined, without any necessity explanation what we're
the sentiments with which read the despatch pub
lisheo oy the NcnsteiT this morning We gladly a9ni,
that this document is frl consideration for the United
states and that the language Of foreign minister falls
within the limits q the strctest impartiality.
The government even goes far Imply (and this
the most satisfactory part Of the document) that n
America requests the European Powers their own
business the latter win take the advice and rest con
tented with the honor Of having made diplomatic effort
~ favor Of peace. But in circumstances 80 grave as
these we cannot repose upon word We must 90 /
90 The root Of the matter. What is the sum
foen, OF our demands upon the United States
suspension Of hostites for six months
which, means anything at all, means /
the raising OF the blockade OF the south Is there ths
slightest reason 70 suppose such proposition would be-
steped 70 on the other side Of the Atanty That il will
be haiied with grateful accanstons the sayehoding
camp that II will be received Richmond as a message
