The English Government and Parliament

beginning Of tho war, in sympathy with the
Rebellion. But it is otherwise with the peO.

are fighting. Many of them, j. is true, have

ton Proclamation. Since then new and
strong impase has begun to agtate the masses
of the people, and it is impossible not TO see
that this movement is in favor OF the Federal
Union. Among the many distinguished men
who acknowledge u change OF opinion in con-
sequence of tho Emancipation Proclamation,
is tho Rev. Mr.. Sturgeon, ore OF the leading
preachers of the age. He now breaches 10

1900 persons and more. On u late Sunday,
Mr.. Sturgeon, in the course of bis prayer,

Exactly so, Georgei You never said

do you suppose jeff Davis thinks about it !
His violation of the Constitution is just about
the most palpable with which We are ac-
quaipted and yet, when he has voded his
rheum upon the Constitution which you do
so adore, Colonel. you would glide gently
up to him. having previously put on, in
stead of your official coat and cap, full
Quaker suit, and you would say softly to him,
in seine hocus-pocus National Conventions:
" Friend, / fear thou art not in thy right
mind Wilt thou be good enough to put up
thy weapon of war, aud listen to what have
to offer to thy consideration Verify, friend,
let us settle this difficulty-by passing few
resolutions !" That is Georges notion of fixing
up things! Two armies confronting each

GEORGES VIEWS OF TEE con-
sTnTCTEON

Not tho views Of George Washington, which,
if that yenerated man should arise from the
dead to run for Congress in tho lid Con-
pressional District OF New Hampshire would
be, We are afraid, of very little use 10 him,
but the views Of Col. John II. George, who is
running ms aforesaid, having, captiom men
might say after reading his Letter OF Accept
ance, himself just emerged from the sepuIchre.
The Colonel is sentontious and We will try to
follow his example. After the manner Of

corupanlcd by negro procamatons, can never

Well, the Colonel knows a thing or two.
He evidently thinks that legs. unaccompauic'i
by negro procamatons, nigh. have the desired
effect. From tho whole tenor of his letter, j.
i. clear that he s1pposes. nothing eau restore

GEoRGE's ArnORIsM, No. liza war OF

This is little muddled. Wha. is the no.
ton of the Colonel, OF war OF subjugation
inside tie execution of the laws! Would that,
whatever it might DO, "reStore fraternity ~
But really, 1t is melancholy to find Colonel
40 loose ia his notions OF war. The business
of war, we, who never wore even one epau-
lette, beg leave TO inform him, is not to -" re-

1t cannot be necessary to comment on sucl
an expression. It recognizes tho Fundamental
heresy of Secession, stigmatizes tho Union a,

shall hold herself neutral. and is imbuet

It is cowardice to shrink from calling tht

While that resolution remains evidence
against him, it is needless to seek fur.
Their evidence Of Mr.. Reeds treason. Yet
this elaborate letter-which would Gil Six
columns of The TRIBUNE-has not a para
graph which does not cOrrOborate the tesil'
mony of the resolution-hardly one which OF
itself would not DO evidence Of treason. Mr.
Reed openly declares that as between the
success of the Government and the success OF
the Rebellion he prefers the latter. He sug-
gests and urges an armistice to enable oil the
States of the Union to consider and decide
whether they also do net on the whole approve
Of the Rebellion and prefer to join il; and be
shamelessly advises the abandonment Of Wash

He artfully appeals to tho selfshness or the
fears of every section and State, and onits no
lie that may be ingeniously invented or plausi'
bly repeated in the interest of the Rebellion.
The whole document is masterpiece OF
treason, and its author is more than worthy
of the bad eminence to which no nspres-the
leadership Of Northern traitors.
The latest public appearance Of Mr. Reed,
and tho one which Tue World particularly np-
plauds, was as counsel for another traitor
whom the Government arrested for the publ
cation of disloyal newspaper in Pennsylvania.
Possibly the apprehension of its own lmpend-
ing fate, and tho future need Of similar proies-
sional services, may have stimulated in this
case the appreciation of The World. BE that
az it may, it must consent to be judged-not
merely by tho company it keeps, but by the
record of tho treason which it ventures to
applaud, but has not yet the courage openly to

The Hon. 4. c. Peters, State Commissioner
for Equalzins Assessments in this State. has

the valuation of the Assessors makes the sum

Thus, the total of all insurance upon property
i'll the State is $l,GOl. 033, 69e. Deduct from
this $3.50, 900, 900 for the amount OF life iusur-
ancs, ard there remains $l,47l, 033,69a on
property. The total of all assessments in the
State is $l.i3i, 937. 1872. or this sum the
cities of New.York and Brooklyn furnish
$692, $50, $40, and the entire remaining portion
OF the State the SUN Of S742, 2aO, 6a2, making
