reported string Of resolutions so traitorous
that the committee aud the party is damned
to perpetual memory as oonspirators who,
seeing tho danger Of tho Government, and
whom the loyal states were actually invaded
by tho barbarians Of slavery, took advantage
of their country's necessity, and advantage
Of tho pressing wants Of the Government to
protect tho Capitol, to howl about tho rights
of traitors and incito tho people Of this State
To resist tho Government. For this purpose
thcse friends Of rcbcls have worked worthy
ofa better cause, and tho people have TO

CHARLES SuNNER.-Scnator Sumner in his
preface to new edition of his great speech
on tho Barbarism OF Slavery, thus speaks ol
the war: ~ |r.
Therefore, tho battle which is now wagcd
by tho Union is for Civilization itself, and II
must have aid and God.specd from all who
arc not openly for Barbarism. There is no
word Of peace, no tone Of gentleness, no
whisper OF humanity, which docs not become
trumpct-tongucd against the Rebcllion.-
War itself seems TO 'smo0th its wrinkled
front" as it undertakes tho championship OF
such cause. Tho armed soldier becomes a
minister Of mercy.
Tho Cid was la tho midst, his shout was heard
alar T; | ain fui Diez, the champion OF Biyar;
Strike amongst them, gentlemen, for sweet mercys
sake"
In tho name of mercy, siriko, young men.
SO that tho revolving Barbarisn, which be-
gan the war, shall disappear forever. Any
thing less than this will bo an abandonment
Of duty.

Mr.. Seward to our Foreign Minister
REVIEW OF THE SITUATION.
Nr,x YnnR Sent IA.

#...r NEW YORK, sept Ia.
The Tribune this morning contains lengthy
official circular from Mr. Seward, addressed TO
our Foreign Ministers, mainly rchcarsing the
progress made by our arms against the rebel
lion, and comprehensivcly presenting the pres
ent status of the Government. He closed as
follows. ..
"Our loan Is purchased nt par By our own
citizens at the average rate of 81 200 900 daily
gold sells in our market Mt 123 to l2S, while in
the insurrcctionary regions 1t commands 1000
per cent. premium. Every insurgent port is
either blockaded, bcsicgcd or occupied by tho
National forces.
The field Of the projected Confedcracy is d.
yidcd by the Mississippi All the fortiiications
on its banks are in our possession, and its flood
Is patrolled by the national fleet.
Missouri, Kentucky, Delaware and Nary
land, all slave States, support the Government.
Missouri has already in convention ordained
the gradual abolition ofslaycry, to take effect
Mt the expiration of seven years. FOur-htths
of Tennessee, two-thirds Of Virginia, the coasts
and sounds of North Carolina, half Of Missis-
sippi and half of Louisiana, with all their large
cities, part of Alabama and the whole sea coast
of Georgia and South Carolina, and no incOn-
siderable part of the coast ofFlorida, arc held
by the United States.
The insurgents, with tho slaves they yet hold
in defiance of the Presidents proclamation. are
now crowded into the central and soathern
portions of Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, while pio-
nccr insurgents holding slaves beyond the Mis-
sissippi are cut off from tho main force.
Facts show that as the resurrection continues
tho unfortunate scrvilc population, which was
at tho beginning an element of its strength, Is
being transferred to the support the Union.
You will use the facts presented in this paper
in such way as may be most effective to con-
vince those who seek renewal Of commercial
prosperity through the restoration ot peace In
America. that thequickcst and shortest way to
gain that desirable cnd is TO withdraw support
and favor from the insurgents and to leave
tho adjustment of our domestic controversies
exclusively with the people ofthc United States.

The Instructions for thcdircct tax Commits

They will probably comprise directions to
sell unrcdeemcd real estate OF Rebels in small
and eligible parcels to the freed slaves, for
sums small but sufficient to give them an

is understood that this policy may speedily
be adopted over tho entire South, should this
