Letter from Fernando Wood.
the Editors of tie ", 7. Evs. Post:

TO the Editors Of the ~ Y. EVe. Post:
At meeting held at Stamford, Connec>
ticut, on Thursday evening last, | said
"that propositions for an armistice or
peace had been submitted TO the President
on the 18th December last, which, had
they been accepted, would have termiua,
ted the war by tie first of April, upon a
basis satisfactory to the people North and
South"
In referring to this statement you ask ::
who made these propositions for an
armistce or peace the adoption of which
Mr.. Wood pretends TO believe, would
have settled the matter by All.fools day :
Were they made by Davis and his fellow
rebels? If so, how does Mr.. Wood know.
anything about them? Has he been in
secret correspondence with the enemy :
Or were they made by some of the anti.
war men here? If SO, who authorized.
them? And what are the terms of the
propositions from which Mr.. Wood hopes
so much? If they are honorable 10 the
nation-if they are such as patriotic Am.
orleans ought to favor-why not make
them public at once2"
To which | say in reply, that the state
ment referred to was made by me delber~
ately, with a full and personal knowledge
of the facts, and that am constrained
from the publicity of them only by the
request of one of the principal officers of
the government. When this Introduction
shall be Withdrawn, shall cheerfuily sat
isiy your curiosity.
Very respectfully, &c,

THuRLow WEED on THE CoYscRIPrloS
LAw.-The following, from the pen of
Thurlow Weed appeared in the Albany
Eveaiqg Journal of the 8th. will attract
general attention.
Congress has armed the government
with all the powers that its exigencies re-
CURED. The administration is clothed
with extraordinary financial and military
authority. The federal government is
now its own banker, and its armies are to
be levied independent of State agencies.
In the first year of the war our young men
rushed voluntarily TO the field, and our
banks as voluntarily supplied the ways
and means. Mark Tie eh4ngs and read not N.
lesson il teaches creles8ly. Onerous laws
can only be carried into effect with the
consent orthe governed" Since congress,
war chosen by which the conscription law
was enated, there has been revolution in
four of the largest States Of the Union. -
There are. causes for such reaction. Let
those who are responsible for the country's
welfare seek and profit by them.
The compulsory laws OF the last con.
gress, if beneAcially executed, must have
the concurrence of the popular will, The
public sentiment must approve them.-
This approval cannot be obtained by pro,
scription and denunciation. Half mil
lion Of men will not again go to their
graves like beds" under the threats OF
political hyenas who remain at homo
bowling"
