The Reply OF President Lincoln.

2 The reply Of The President, which will be
found elsewhere in this paper, to the Vallan-
digham Committee, finally disposes of the
question of the g release of Vallandigham."
One thing to be noticed is, /" his friends'' solve
the problem themselves. The President
submits proposition which, answered affirm
atiyely by this Committee would havegrant-
ed to them the accomplis hment of their mis-
sion They werc asked to subscribe their en-
dorsement to the following statement:
l. That there is now a rebellion in the
United States, the object and tendency of
which is to destroy the National Union; and
that, in your (our) opinion an army and navy
are constitutional means for suppressing the
rebellion. 90
2. That no one of you (us) will do anything
which, in his own Judgment will tend to him
der the increase or favor the decrease, or less
en- the efficiency of the army or navy, while
engaged in the effort to suppress that rebel
lion; and
3. That each of you (us) will in his sphere
do all he can to have the officers, soldiers,
and seamen of tle army and navy, while
engaged in the effort to suppress the rebellion,
paid, fed, clad, and otherwise well-provided
and supported. @ & la .
To this the Committeeman indignantly say
nay! They say to the world they are not
loyal--that they do not consider our army
and navy constitutional means of putting
down this rebellion - that they will retard
the efficiency of our arms, for they will not
say that they WILL each of them, do all that
they can to see our soldiers and seamen sup
-, Al i a.;
rebellion. $50
This, more than all else, shows the neces-
sitY, p-opriety and justice of the course pur-
sued toward Vallandigham. The fadeless
pages of history will record this as one of the
acts of wisdom of President Lincoln, in Sc
curing and promoting the public safety of the
Government during this rebellion. His course
receives the applause of every loyal man. His
answer to the Committee is what it should
be. The blackened record of Vallandigham
receives a new lustre of darkness from the
course of "his friends' For themselves,
they stand branded before the world as the
most remarkable types of political mercena
ries ever banded together. Vallandigham and
his friends" are now unmasked. Their
shambling hypocrisy is unveiled. Let them
have the benefit of their acts, the reward of
their sympathy with rebels against their coun-
try. In the demon;sm of their secret cabals,
they have concocted their shameless schemes
of disloyalty = the daylight has witnessed
their desertion of their government. That
the chapter of their desperation be complete,
it is simply necessary to add the names of the
Vallandigham Committee" thus:

Negro Equality in MasSachuse,ts

The Boston Post says: Many of oul
readers have supposed that our statement
that Gov ernor Andrew and the Secretary
of State 'dined with colored friend in
Southac street, on Thanksgiving Day. was
joke. Not SO. The host was Lewis Hay
den, a contraband, employed as messenger
at the State house. The dinner was sue
cess. About twenty-five guests were pres
ent. The company was very select, the
Governor AMI the Secretary being the only
white persons present. .....
When we have declared that to put ne
groes on a political and social equality with
the whites was the object, and would be the
result of the Abolition agitation if success
full, it has been indignantly denied by some
Republicans, who did not see the drift of tn
policy they were sustaining. To such we
commend the above action of Governor An
