The Law AGAINST SHrNPLAsTERs,-Ce Certain
United States officers in the western part of
the State of New York, recently instructed
their subordinates not to receive, or pay out
shinplasters, saying that Government would
probably take notice of the violations of the
recent act of Congress on that subject. The
United States Marshal at Rochester has since
commenced prosecutions against those issuing
shinplasters. The act of Congress reads as
follows
Sec. 2. Ind be 1t further enacted. That
On and after the first day of August. 1869
no private corporation, banking association
hrm, or individual shall make, issue, circulate,
or pay any note, check, memorandum. token or
other obligation, for a less sum than one dollar
intended to circulate as money or to be received
or used in lieu of lawful money of the United
States; and every person so offending shall, on
conviction thereof in any District or Circuit
Court of the United States, be punished by
fine not exceeding FIVE hundred dollars, or by
imprisonment not exceeding six months, or by
both, at the option of the Court.
Approved July 18th, 1862.

In haste.

The following was read by John Van Blu
rem at the Seymour Ratification meeting in
New York on Monday evening; without the
authority, as Prince John stated at the time,
of Gen. Scott to make it public, A very Gu
rious inquiry arises as to how it came into his
possession. The letter ITSELF if genuine,
shows that Gen. Scott at that time, like every
one else, had very mistaken ideas as to tho
charaareter and extent of the rebellion. The
letter is out of date entirely, and Gen. Scott
would undoubtedly write very different one
at present. A last years almanac might as
well be used for present calculations, as this
letter.

No DANGER OF SLAVE INsURREcTroNs
One OF the most serious objections urged at
home and abroad against the emancipation
proclamation is that it will stir up the slaves
to instruction and massacre The st. Lopis
Republican, which is pro-slavery and anti
administration, disposes of this objection as fol-
lows: r....
1--WE must say that we have vet to sea. on
the part OF the negrses of the South. anv do
position, or, at any rate, determination to rise
against the whites but on the contrary. the
country must have been surprised at the utter
unwllllngness of thousands upon thousads to
desert their masters when opportunities, with
out the resort force, have been by no means
lacking. 1t is now nearly year and a halfsince
the administration adopted the policy of re-
celv1nng INTO our military lines all negroes
~nsther men, women or children, who could
md Their way there, As early as the Both of
may 1901 the secretary of war instructed len,
Butler to refrain from surrendering to alleged
masters any person coming within his lines
ana we make no venture in saying that il has
during the greater part of the war, been per.
ffectly well understood by the negroes of the
South that they could have their freedom if
they would only come for it, Now we do not
pretend to say that evne as a general thing the
negroes love slavery, for the many thousands
who have broken away from the South wouId
dlsprove it: but that there is such an interest
among them upon the whole, on the subject of
their freedom, as would induce them to oct mn
against the whites, we doubt VIZ
cannot perceive that there is any more danger
OF slave instructions now than there has boon
i S q year past, nor can we see how the presi-
dents proclamation can exercise any inAu-
ence not heretofore felt, in bringing them about
we DO not understand from that document that |

OF the persons liberated, are to put arms in
Ihelr hands to fight against those claiming IN |

WASHINGTON, March 8 1851

'nSiiiN"ioN, udICu ., 1901.
DEAR SIR: Hoping that in day or two the
new President will have happily passed through
all personal dangers and find himself installed
as honored successor of the great Washing
ton, with you as the chief of his Cabinet I
beg leave to repeat in writing what | bavo
before said to you orally-this supplement ia
my printed views dated in October last on the
highly disordered condition of our so late han
py and glorious Union. To meet the extra
ordinary exigences of the times it seems to me
that | am guilty of no arrogance in limiting
the Presidents field of selection to one of the
four plans of procedure subjoined.
First. Throw off the old and assume new
designation-the Union party. Adopt the
conclhatory measures proposed by Mr.. Critten-
den or the Peace Convention, and, nv life mn
on it, we shall have no new case, but on the
contrary, an early return of many if not all
the States which have already been broken
OF from the Union. Without some equally
benign measure the remaining slaveholdIng
States will probably jein the Montgomery Con
federacy in less than sixty days, when thi civ.
being included in foreign country, it would
1t would require permanent garrison of at
least $4,000 troops to protect the government
within it,
Second. Collect the duties on FOREIGN goods
outside the ports of which the government has
lost the command, or close such ports bv ac,
OF Congress and blockade them.
Third. Conquer the seeded States bv in
vading armies. No doubt this might be done
IN two or three YEAR, by young and able gem
eral-a Wolfe, DeSaix or Hoche. with
100000 disciplined men, estimating third
Tor garrisons, and the loss of yet greater num-
Der by skirmishes, sieges, battles and southern
levers. The destruction of life and propertv
on the other side would he frigthfnl, however
perfect themoral discipline of the invaders. The
conquest completed at that enormous waste of
lfe to the North and Northwest, with at least
wo hundred and fifty millions added thereto
md Gun bono, fifteen devastated provinces not
o be brought into harmony with their con-
Iuerors, but to be held for generations bv
eavy garrlsons at an expense ouadruple the
lett duties or taxes which it would be possible
extort from them followed by protector or
N Emperor.
Fourth. Say to the seeded States wav-
ward sisters, depart in peace.
In haste, | remain very truly yours.
