ROUND To OI1tRREL

But for that treachcrous and fanatical
party in the North, that has blackened its
banners with On arowal Of belief in
human Slavery, the war that enoW wage
for the Union and for our institutions,
would never have been forced upon us.
The assurances that they gavo the rebels
then in embryo, that, in the event ofa con
test they would take care that the South was
not unaided, and that the party for the
Union and Freedom should yield to such
offers as Secession might tender, were the
strong impelling motives that forced the
conspirators into the execution OF their
long cherished scheme. And the efforts OF
to-day, which, while they embar.
rass the movement and efficiency OF
our armies, comfort the rebels,
and disgrace the American name, are only
SO many efforts to carry out the pledge.
that were made before the war began,
And had not the sympathizers the existing
causes Of censure and complaint, they
would hare seized upon any others that
might have existed. To quarrel with the
Administration, to first cripple and then
overthrow ito quarrel with it when il
does wrong as well as when it does
1isht-wlen it does nothing as well
es when it does something,-to quarrel
with the Administration anyhow-is the
game. Do not the people Of the North
west zee through it?

Connecticut.

Ne copy the following article in regard to
"thc situation'' in Connecticut from the
New York Ertaing Ihst. The movement By
the operatives in the Colt Arms Manufactur-
ing Company, Is significant, in view OF the
fact that It is publicly announced that Tom
Seymour-the Copperhead candidate for
Governor, is to marry the widow Of the 1ato
Sam Colt, who Is the principal owner in thst
company.
s'The prospect Of success for the loyal can
didates In Connecticut Is growing brighter:
The War Democrats are becoming more and
more disposed not to content themselves With
simply refusing to support Seymour and the
other peace candidates, but to take direct
part in defeating them.
One remarkable example Of this disposition
| Is The meeting which is called at Hartford for
! Tomorrow night, by the persons employed In
the well. known manufaciory Of Colts Arms.
| They are all Democrats, and carry to the polls
| several hundred yoteB. The object Of the
| meeting is to dieown the nomination Of sey.
| HOUR, 10 condemn the sentiments favorable
| to the rebellion which be and his friends have
| ayoxed, and to stand by the Government In
the vigorous prosecution of the war By all
| practical measures. Richard D. Hubbard, q
b. tmocrnt, lawyer Of eminent ability and 8
politician of great influence, is expected &c
preside, and all the officers Of the meeting
will be Democrats. James +. Brady and Ed

Since the Organization Of the Board between
1852 snd 1853, the expenses for levee purposes
in this district, amounts to $3.50, ,0oo-an ex-

The New Albany Ledur says that 1t is ascer-
taincd to tc \ practice among dishonest army
paymasters to conceal from the soldiers the
dateR when they arc likely to be in funds, in
order that set of rasc:slly brokers may be
",un in on them to cash their orders at q
ruinous tliecount. This vi}lainy has becu
piacsiccd even hen the paymaster has been
IL receipt Of funds from the Department, and
the soldiers hare been thus cruelty plundercd
Of large amounts which would otherwise hare
gone 10 the relief Of their families.
Why does not the Ledger give US the names
Of the rascally pa5n1astcEs who do this? Il

TIE AFRICAN SLAVE TKAEE.-An inter-
cepted document, addressed By Judah P Bcnja-
min, the Confederate Secretary Of State,
to Lucius Quintius Curtius Lamon, the
Confederate Commissioner to ST. Petersburg,
has lately come into the possession Of our
Government. It shows the prudent and sig-
niiicant reserve which the Confederate author
tiles prescribe to themselves i'll refusing to
enter into any engagements NTH foreign ma
t;ous not to revive the African Slave trade.
alr Benjamin says Mr. Lamar is well aware
how firmly fixed in their Constitution is the
p,licy Of the Confedezaey againstthe opening
of that trade; but We, he remarks, arc in
formed that false and inyidious suggestions
have been made BY the agents Of tho United
States at European Courts Of s'their intcn-
| ticn to charge their Constitution as soon rs
| peace is restored, and Of authorizing the i'm
rortation Of slaves from Africa
If, therefore, Mr. Lamar should find, in his
| intercourse with the Cabinet to which he is
| accredited, that any such impressions are en-
| tcrtained, he must use every proper effort to
remove them aud, il an attempt is made to
introduce into any treaty which ho may be
Charged With negotiating, stipulatious on the
subject just mentioned, lie will assume the
position that the Constitution OF the Confed-
eratc States is an agreement made between in

In other words, no power is delegated to

In the course Of his instructions, Mr.. Bcnja
min says: "Wc trust that no unnecessary

loyal men Of Chicago are not only to form

but to reproyc tho Mayor for his crime of
Withholding his official sanction Of the
meeting. This second refusal to counte~
nance or encourage the citizens in pcacca-
bly assembling together, for no partisan
purposo, solely to deliberate how their
country may be best defended and their in
btitutions preserved, fixes his status as a
