From the London Times.
Mr.. Stewards CircuIar.

Practically, then, the very gist and essence OF
Stewards argument is fatal to its object. If all
is true that he tells US, that all is infinitely short
of what we were prepared TO take for granted
twenty wears ago. without being any the more
s~anguine of Northern success. We thought the
North would overrun the South in a very brief
campaign. but would then find It's difficulties be-
gin. Mr.. Seward tells us that after two years Of
mortal struggle, the North has not overrun a
quarter of the South-having the real difficulty
still in prospect as before. We only conclude
from this that the Federals have not even that
superiority for which we gave them credit; and
that the relative strength of the Confederates is
by so much the greater. If Mr.. Seward really
wishes to make converts of French and English
statesemn, he must adopt a very different line Of
argument. He must show US either that the
South is evincing a readiness to Weld, or that the
North has a policy which will admit of the res
tOration of the Union, without this submission.
He shows neither OF these things. On the con-
trary, he tells US the Southern President has just
proclaimed a levy en- masSe, while OF his own
Government he says nothing, except that il is
preparing to prosecute the war as before But
what is to be the end? Europe thinks that the
reconstruction of the Union by force of arms is
an impossibility, and n very great number of
Americans are OF the same opinion. Europe also
sees distinctly that the South gives not the slight
est sign of concession, while even the fortunes of
the war are not upon the whole very uneveniy
balanced. Not therefore without reason do we
persist in our original opinions on the subject;
but though Mr.. Seward has thus lost his pains,
we can console him with the assurance that, so
far as we are concerned. they were needlessly
expended. If bis object was merely to deter US
from Intervention, it is safe in spite of the failure
of this argument. In the domestic controver
sizes" which have cost upwards of 500 1000 lives
and at least fifty millions of money in two wears,
we have not the least design of interfering. The
adjustment" of these little matters we are ready
to leave to Americans themselves as exclusive
ly" as Mr.. Seward can desire; and it we add an
other remark upon a point so certain. it is merely
to suggest that the people who thus busy them.
selves even superauously in deprecatine our in
tervention might be a little less forward in
threatening us with extremities which would
drive US to intervene.

All the States that were in the Union on the
dav of the last Presidential election are still in the
Union. There existed no power then. none has
arisen since, which has taken one of them out of
the Union. Secession ordinances did not do e;
for they we're and are unconstitutional and void
The rebellion has not done IL; for that has been
from the beginning a usurpation of authority, in
oren defiance of the constitution and laws of the
United States. and could not change the relations
of a single State to the national government.
That government cannot change these relations,
for these are fixed aud determined by the national
constitution, and cannot be changed except by a
change in that instrument in the way therein
prescribed. The States are then, to-day. all in
the Union with their constitutional relations 10
the Union unchanged, as much as they were on
the 9th of November, 1860. And the national
government is bound to secure (see U. S. const.,
art A, sec. A. to every State in this Union a re
publican form of government. such as each State
then constitutionally had and which it is still
entitled to have.
We should carefully guard against being mis-
led or deceived by mere words. There can be no
reconstruction "restoratiOn," or "readmis
sions of any State i'm the sense that any such
State is legally and constitutionally out of the
Union. To admit this is TO admit that there has
been a power or force exerted somewhere, which
has dissolved the Union. ALI that can be truth
fully said is that the constitutional authority of
the national government has been illegally and
temporarily suspended in some of the States. and
all that the war has been, or should he prosecut-
ell for, or is for the resumption or restoration OF
that authority thus suspended. That being done
i'm any State. where n portion of the people have
been or are in rebellion, such State does not

she retains il, with her State constitution,

Of its laws by any inhabitant of any State. as IL
has ALWAYS had and exercised, except when the
course of Justice has been temporarily INSTRUCTED

time being. be overcome.
The loyal people of the United States-no
matter by what party name any Of them may be
caIled-will hold and maintain to the last and at
rail- hazards. that no secession ordinance, no re
bellion, no executive proclamation, no legislative
enactment, and no decree OF any court, has taken

section Of the act will give up their present cor

Ansrer. Before I~-entered upon the discharge
of any duties as Comptroller of the Currency, the
Secretary of tine Treasury, after much considera-
ton, had come to the conclusion, as a national
currency was to be provided through the instru
mentality of National Banking Associations, that
all such associations should have a common name.
Persons forming associations under the act have,
therefore, been required TO take the names of
First, Second. Third, &c, National Banks of the
places IN which they are established, according
TO the order of organization. This rule is ex-
pected to be observed by State banks that may
be converted into national banks under the 6lst
section of the act, as well as by original associ-
ations.
IL, in their new organizations, they desire to
retain, in some way, their former corporate
names, it must be done in such manner as will
not interfere with the symmetry of the circulation
which is to be furnished to them, nor render
illegal their acts as National Associations. All
who connect themselves with this system have a
commbn interest in making it symmetrical and
harmonious, as well as national. The retention

What an Abolition administration
has already Done.

The first abolition administration has supplied
US with many things of which We were never be
fore possessed. 1t has given US thousands of
widows and orphans; filled our streets with
MANNED aud broken human beings; erected for
our accommodation numberless military prisons;
furnished US lavishly with military authority.
spies and informers. after the manner of Austria;
has blessed us with an army of tax g~atherers and
hungry officials. who consume the substance Of
the people; has initiated US into the experience of
a stamp act, and entailed upon Us A national
debt TO which that of England will soon be a
mere circumstance; has given the national capt.
tai al the airs and glitter Of n court; has demon.
strated that America can excel the world in
thievery and corruption, as she does in fast yachts
and resping machines; and has finally enabled
us to realize the beauties Of a military conscrip-
ton. These are a few only of the favors for
which we are indebted to this abolition admins
t~ration. and for which we hope all are truly
thankful. As an offset to these desirable gifts il
has relieved us of habeas corpus, the right of trial
by jury. aud other medi@val supel fiuities. for
which we shodld all be still more grateful.

upon the section which provides that the $500

The Carthage and Fifth street Meet
ings OF the Democracy. 3

The Carthage and Fifth street meetings yes-
terday, despite the incIemency of the weather,
which WAS more like winter than autumn, were a
hirpy and magnificent success. The crowds
wer. large, the spirit OF the people high, and the
temper ana voice OF the speakers excellent. The
country people generally repaired to Carthage,
and the city democracy to Fifth street in the
evening. 1t was really one meeting divided into
two parts. IL is a day that will long be remarked
with pleasure by the gallant Democracy OF Old
Hamilton and is a most suspicious opening of
the campaign-tCin. Emo.
We are informed by persons present upon the
occasion that the meetings at Carthage and Gin
cinnati on Saturday last, in numbers and enthusi-
asm. have not been equaled in any previous
political campaign. The speech of Mr. vooR-
HE'S at Carthage was most eloquent and power
full. TIE remarks Of Hon. jason d BRows, Of
this State, at both meetings. are spoken of as
being full Of happy hits and forcible points.
