A Republican Opinion.

Mr.. CONWAY, Black Republican dis
unionist and demsgcgue from Kansas
spoke in the House of Representatives, las
week upon the conduct Of the war. Hls
language was, I'm my judgment, this wal
has not been conducted with any purpose
of securing triumph to the national arms, OIL
the subjugation of the puplic enemy. Al
no stage of its progress has the Executive
sought the conquest of the South. He
has endeavored to accomplish his purpose
rather by holding back than marc' ing
forward the armies of the Republic into be
enemy's country. and putting him down.
He has sought to exhaust every other
agency before showing even disposition
to resort to vigorous action in the field"
He added:
This is the reason the war is failure
The President has disowned the revolution
He has prevented the war as far as posi-
BILE, TO defeat it and restore the old sys.
tenn. In spite of inevitable results, he
clings with insane tenacity to the idea that
the old Union still Ives; and endeavors 10
fill the Halls of Congress and all the De-
partments of Government with the Repre-
sentalives Of the slave power.
l cannot. therefore, see how this war
can end otherwise than in manner most
injurious and melancholy to the nation.
These charges. which amount to an i'm
putation of treason on the part OF the Pres
ident, of treachery TO the army, and of in
sanity, were passed by without reproof.
EITHER this Is a Just war for the pres
eavation Of the national unity and the yin
dication of the Federal governments right

the President and Congress must direct b.
what instrumentalities it is to be carried
and loyal citizens must render them 4
hearty effective support in the prosecution
of the struggle.--N. Y Tribune.
Either this is a war for the preserva-
tioa of the Constitution and the Union, or
it is not. fit is. its purpose was right
fnlly declared in the Crittenden resolu-
ton. Ifitis, the administration are debar

den by that res tuition. If it is, the abe
lition party. who have imprecated the Con
siitution, and who have thousand times
declared tina. they do not want the old I'm
ion, are strangely inconsistent in urging
its continuance. II i. is, the President and
Congress may not direct the Use of ''instru.
mentaiiies" that will defeat it's object, and
which are expressly forbidden by the Con-
stitution. The sophism that the admins
