LOYAL LEAGUES.

Loyal National League formed lately at Orange,
New Jersey uudsr two printed sections, declaring
who were members and the other pledgipg them to
conditional loyalty To these the following section
added:
at is hereby understood and agreed among the citizens
signing this constitution that do not in any manner
pledge ourselves TO any Vt united political action
but that each member is lett free to act ali elections in
accordance with his pltica referenceour only object
in this Organization being to unite TO support tho Nstona
Government efforts suppress the rebellion now waved
against its authority by portion of the people Of tho
Union, and not to organize create polite pary-t
being the purpose OF the members Of the League to
solve when the objects for which created have
accomplished"
This addition would 10 be entirely proper IL these
Leagues are to be used for patriotic rather than partisan
purposes; but we observe that the New York Evening
Post considers that the acute and conscientious sene
man" who moved this amendment has sought to "neu-
tralixe the whole affair."

We had National Bank to act as the regulator Of
our currency, this paramount function of Congress
was performed through the agency Of that institu-
ton, and our monetary affairs were not left entirely
at the mercy Of corporations deriving life and au-
thority from the States. In the Bank of the Uni
ted States We had at once fiscal agent competent
to furnish national paper currency, and to act as
safeguard and remedy against the imprudence
and ignorance of the local banks. Since the de-
struction of the National Bank, however, it would
seem as if Congress had wholly abdicated the au-
thority with which it is consttutionally invested
over the currency Of the country until at the late
session of the last Congress its legitimate urisdc
ton was resumed in the adoption of the " Ma
tional Banking System" proposed by Mr. Secre-
tary Chase. 1t is yet too early to predict the sue
cess which will attend this scheme, but few will
deny that it is step in the right direction, which
proposes, under the legitimate authority of the
Federal Government, to provide for the public a
currency which shall not only be for, but also of
the Government and the people combined.

NON-INTERVENTION.

The insurrection in Poland has assumed proper
tons which already give to it the dignity and gra-
witty of European question. And some of the
principles of public law which it is said to have
called into fresh exercise and recognition are such
as have bearing on the relations of our own do
nestle war to foreign Governments.
1t having been represented that the King of
Prussia had formed an alliance, in the nature Of a
treaty, offensive and defensive, with the Russian
Gear, for the limited purpose Of aiding the latter
in suppressiug the popular rising in Russian Po-
land, the Government ef France, it is said has not
concealed from the Court of Berlin the painful i'm
preston it has received from the precipitation
which King Frederic William has shown in de-
parting, in this matter, from the system Of non
intervention-a system which, adds the Cabinet Of
the Tuileries " has become the general lule of
European policy"
The French Government, it appears, while alb
staining from any claim to deny to Prussia the
right to take precautionary measures for the pre-
ssrvation of domestic tranquility in Prussian Po-
land, does deny the Legitimacy of the engagements
into which the King is supposed to have entered
with the Gar for the purpose of facilitating the
military movements and the dispositions taken by
the latter for the suppression Of revolt which, in
its present extent, embracing only the territory of
Russian Poland, is purely domestic question con-
corning Russia alone, and with which Prussia,
notwithstanding her proximity, and the similarity
of the interests which are mperlled by the insur-
rection, has no right to interfere.
The application Of these principles to our own
domestic difficulties is too apparent to need desig-
nation or enforcement. And it so happened that
the reply of Mr.. Secretary SEWARD to the recent
proposition of the French Government, in the
matter of our civil war, was received in Paris at
time when the minds of all were pre-occupied with
these aspects of the Polish question, and when it
was easy for all to see that he merely claimed in
behalf of the United States the application of the
same wholesome doctrines which France had already
affirmed in regard to the instruction of the Poles
against the Russian Government. In this view
the courteous rejection Of the French proposition
by our Government seems to have been received
by all parties in Paris as defnitive settlement Of
the matter in issue-precluding the opportunity or
the propriety Of further overtures of similar
kind. And, as it is remarked by a New York con-
temporary-the Daily Times-this latter seems to
have been practically the view taken of the matter
in England The universal remark in the journals
there was that the despatch of Mr.. Seward was
final, and admitted of no further argument as to
intervention. This shows the great practical ex-
cellence and the intrinsic value Of the Secretary
reply. IT shut off all attempts at interference or
dictation from any quarter. In effecting this, it
rendered us the highest possible service in Europe.
