THEORY OF THE WAR.

We are always glad to note the points of contact
which exist between men of opposite opinions on
the leading questions which now divide the Ame-
rcan people. Perhaps no difference among the
men who sustain the " war for the Union is more
radical than that which relates to the theory on
which that war shoul l be conducted On the one
hand we have those who advocate war of indis.
criminate violence against the entire population Of
the South always excepting the negroes) and the
utter subversion of all municipal and civil rights
in the region over which the insurgents have
established their usurping authority Ga the other
hand we have those who espouse the policy which
looksto the determination and subjugation, not of
the Southern people, but of the Southern insurgent
armies, in which the rebellion lives aud moves and
has its being Those who hold this view do not
find it necessary to preface their military plans
with denunciatory and futile proclamations, which
only intensity the elements of resistance to be en-
countored by the Government, nor is it Compatible
with their views either of constitutional right or
sound policy to impart 10 the war character for
ferocity and vindictiveness inconsistent with the
theory of its origin of defence, and repug-
nant to the design for which it purports to be pro-
secuted, o war for the restoratsos of the Union
uader the Constitution. We are glad to fod thai
so distinguished leader Of the dominant party a.
Mr.. Horace Greeley concurs with the Conserya-
tivcs in taking this latter view Of military and
civil policy in regard to the Institutes on which the
war should be conducted 1t is true that the
journal of which he is the recognised conductor,
the New York Tribune, does not reflect any
ideas so humane and sensible, but when Mr.
Greeley writes under his o IN name-as in his
weekly contributions, for instance, to the New York
Iudependent--he gives full expression to this ra-
tional doctrine in terms which cannot be other sise
than satisfactory to the most determined conscrva-
tives. We quote as follow, from his letter in this
journal of Thursday last
"War is at best sad terrible necessity 1t horrible
in the abstract that shall be engaged in wholesale
human slaughter aud especially when the conbatants are
at fellow Chrstians and fellow. .countrymen And

This proclamation has never been recalled by
the President or abrogated by Congress, but the
President has chosen to disregard its sanctions, by
virtue, we suppose, Of some Dispensing power ac-
cording to which bis proclamations are no law to
himself, however obligatory they may be on other
people. Certain it is that the formula Of the test
prescribed by this pending BILL embracing, as it
does, all the proclsmations" in the scope Of its
terms assumes that this procamations is still binding,
and we have only to regret, in behalf Of those who
would willingly yield loyal obedience to any
thing which may be reasonably required, that in
swearing to "support and defend" all proclama-
tions they will be compelled to oppose the policy
of the President in making one of them dead

purpose of the committee to enlist our voting com
munity in sworn opposition to the President with
regard to any one Of his proclamations"
Ia conclusion, we have only to say that as Mr..
Senator Dixon is charged with the exposition and
defence of this bill, we hope he will accompany
its discussion with distinct Interpretation of thc
purport and intent of the test oath, as he under
stands it, Is it meant to signify that one who con-
ours with Senator Sherman in doubling the con-
stitutional validity of the Presidents emancipation
proclamation shall not vote in Washington If
SO, its terms sufficiently definite to accomplish
this object? Ii not So what is the use of the test
in this regard AS we can hardly suppose that
Mr.. Dixon desires to place the voters Of city in
an attitude of sworn opposition to the President
on the score Of the proc amation which they are
required to "support and defend" against his
policy which ignores it, we submit that it would
be better to put the laws" in one category and
the procamations" in another, thus requiring the
voter to "support and defend" the former until
they are repealed, and the latter until they dis
pensed with by the President.
