Thus the value of African slave labor, and the

and nothing nObler, nothing higher, nothing man

tons which the Secretary finds it in bis nature to
urge upon Europe to restrain it from intervening in
our intestine troubles.
And in the above dispatch Of August IS, when he
desires to argue the possibility of peace, be will not

Seeding States were not to be conquered or subu-
gated That, he said in his dispatch to Mr. Adams Of
April TO- 1861, could not be done. In this extract
from the dispatch of August lS he recognizes, that
we are involved "in a fierce conflict" that tbi'
cannot be indefinitely endured" aud that therefore
"a TRUCE" (nota victOry forth Union. but TRUcEl

" society will prefer the attainabe 10 tho unataln
able object-the greater to tho lesseS advantage.
The war s thus, upon the Secretarys theory, to be-
not resoluse, energetic of victory and triumph
for the natIon-but sanguinary exhausting process
wearing out both parties, until each is resdy to cry
"TKUcE W aud call in tho diplomats each side, to

That this is the vision of the future in which our
Secretary Of State INDUCES has been repeatedly
tverred. This extract from his dispatch OF August
It, 1862, would seem to justify the charge.
Ia the light Of all these considerations can il be
matter Of surprise that the earnest meu OF the coun-
try, who desire TO zee the Rebellion quickly aud
thoroughly sUBDUED, should be filed, as t.sy are,
with disrust and alarm at the presence Of Sir Sew
ard in our National councils and should ask, ~ they
so universally do that the dangerous spirit that has
seemed rather soicitous TO save than to subjugate
Rebels-that counseed as it did in the dispatch TO
Mr.. Adams Of April 10, 1861, "to indulge in no
harikneu diUespeet or eFea ,mPdt'eHee, concern

! MIST apologize for the space I have occuPiedi
but have found, as proceeded with the subject,
that it was difficult to compress any Ineligible mo-
tice OF II within very brief compass.
In my former communications, stated that the
principal objection the Secretarys diplomatic cor
respondence was not 30 much, that lie wrote without
the Presidents knowledge, as that he wrote un
, worthily. In my present communication / have
cited some instances in support Of this opinion; but
have hardly touched or opened the unwelcomt
, subject. TRVTH AID eovRAor.
