Unlike the despotisms of the Old World. these

they give way to a higher sentiment Of constitu

of a great Nation, this is but an hour. Time
hastens on, and the people must work while it is
called to day. The Rebels at Richmond and the
Radicals at Washington are fast exhausting the

Diplomatic correspondence on Our

from the London Post Of March l4.I
Three series of dispatches on the affairs Of
North America have just been published. The
FIRST includes correspondence between Earl Rus
SELL, Lord Lyons. and Mr.. STUART, chiefly on the
subject of cotton. Toward the end, however,
there are some dispatches bearing on the politics
Of the United States and the progress of the war.
EARL RUSSELL TO LORD LYONS.
The following dispatch is Earl RussELL's crit
cism on President LIScoLS's emancipation proc
lamation:
FOREIGN OFFICE, January IL, 1863.
My LORD: The proclamation of the President
of the United States. enclosed in your Lordship's
dispatch of the 2d instant, appears to be of a very
strange nature.
Ii processes to emancipate all slaves in places
where the United States authorities cannot ever
else any Jurisdiction nor make emancipation a
reality: but il does not decree emancipation of
slaves in any State or parts of States occupied bv
Federal troops and subject TO Unitel States iuris
diction. and where therefore emancipation, If de
creed, might have been carried into effect.
lie would seem to follow that in the Borde.
States. and also in New Orleans, a slave owner
may recover his fugitive slave by the ordinary
process of law but that in the ten States In which
the proclamation DEGREES emancipation, a fugi
tive slave arrested by legal warrant NAV resist,
and his resistance. if successful. is to be upheld
and aided by the United States authorities and
the United States armed forces.
The proclamation, therefore. makes slavery at
once legal and illegal. and makes slaves either
punishable for running away from their masters,
or en- titled to be supported and encouraged in so
doing. according 10 the locality of the plantation
to which they belong and the loyalty Of the State
In which they NAV happen TO be.
There seems to be no declaration of u principle
adverse to slavesv in this procla 1t is a
measure of war. aud a measure of war of a very
questionable kind.
As President Lincoln has twice appealed to the
judgment of mankind in his proclamation. | ven
ture to say | do not think it can or ought to sat
isfy the friends Of abolition. who look for total
and impartial freedom for the slave, and not for
vengeance on the slave owner.

Letter from Governor Seymour. Of New
Vork
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMEN

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, May 10th.
cannot attend the meeting at the capitol
this evening, but | wish to state my opinion
in regard to the arrest of Mr. Valandigham.
1t is an act which has brought dishonor up
on our country. 1t is full Of danger to our
persons and our homes. 1t bears upon its
front a conscious violation of law and justice.
Acting upon the evidence of detailed inform.
ers, shrinking from the light of dav, in the
darkness of night. armed men violated the
house of an American citizen and tur,ivelv
bore him away to military trial, conducted
without those safeguards known to the pro
ceedings of our judicial tribunals. The trans
action involved series of offences against
our most sacred rights. |; intertered with
the freedom of speech. it molested our rights
to be secure in our homes against unreason
able searches and seizures; it pronounced senl
ence without trial, save one which was a
mockery, which insuled as well as wronged.
The perpetrators now seek to impose pun
shment, not for an oifense against law but
for the disregard of an invalid order, pat
forth in the utter disregard of the principles
of civil liberty. If this proceeding is APP
proved by the government, and sustained bv
the people, it is not merely a step toward
revolution--it is a revolutions; it will not
only lead TO military despotism-it estab,
lishes military despotism. In this aspect it
must be accepted or in this aspect it must be
rejected. If it is upheld our liberties are
overthrown; the safety of our persons, secu-
rty of our property will hereafter depend
upon the arbitrary will of such orders as may
be placed over US, while our constitutional
guarantees will be broken down. Even now
the governors and courts OF some of the
great western States have sunk into insgnifi-
canoe before the despotic powers claimed and
exercised by military men who have been
sent into their borders. Ii is a fearful thing
to increase the danger which now overhangs
us by treating the State authorities with
contempt. The paople Of this country nov
wait with the deepest anxiety the decisions
OF the administration upon these acts. lIav-
ING given 1t generous support in the con-
duct OF the war, we pause to see what kind
of government it is for which we are ask
TO pour out our blood and our treasures -
The action of the administration will deter
mine in the minds of more than one-baif of
the people of the loyal States whether this
war is waged to put down rebellion at the
south or destroy free institutions at the
north. We look for its decision with most
solemn solicitude.

PREPARING TO SELL THE MINEs.-Under

and report upon the gold and silver mines
of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada

king possession of them and working them on
Government account, selling or leasing them
as may be subsequently determined. So it
seems that the fable of the man who killed
the goose that laid him golden egg every
day, was not all fable, since it is to be re-
peated by Mr.. Lincoln "the wisest, purest,
and most benign Government the sun ever
shone upon" as our Republican contempt.
