Comments on the Abope,

| Iconceded to The Times tho closing word in
the discussion Of this subject which it com.
menced some days since, though there were
mistakes in its final statement which eminently
required exposure; for / apprehended that some
thin-skinned persons would fear or fancy that
further alteration might breed disturbance
in the family. As, however, the above article
rSopens the matter, have no choice but to
continue the ventilation. And, if this is deemed
desirable over the way, 1, certainly, have no
objection.
The proposal of The Times that shall pub
lsh all the correspondence on this subject not
already before the public would very gladly
comply with, upon duo assurance that this
course would be acceptable to the President;
but have no copies Of my own letters, and
may have mislaid some Of the replies. With
The Times's help, will endeavor to collect the
correspondence and print Il. Though my part
Of Il was written without the faintest suspicion
that It would ever see the light, l have no de-
sire to withhold 1t from publication.
Meantime, very gladly agree that wrote

ing Democrats from this side-thst IL was cur
rontly reported that terms of I" reconstruction y
were propounded and considered between
them-and that it was further reported that one
Of them (Mr. c. C. Clay) had agreed to
address q letter to the Chicago Convention
Indicating terms Of Peace and Reunion.
So much heard Tin common, Ipresume, with
many others), and 1t seemed to me desirable
that, II sach terms es': profered, the Govern
nsnt Of the United States should have the f{st
refusal Of them. And recollect thst-in -
frst and much tho longes: letter which I address
ed to tho President On this subject roughly
indicated certain bases Of Peace and Reunion
which thought It would be sxpedient to onaes
to the Rebels, In case their profsr to the Gov.
eminent should be-as feared it would be-
one that could not be accepted.
The brief reply to this letter was to this effect
-"f any persons duly authorized By the
Rebels are prepared to offer such terms of peace
and reconstruction as yoH set forth, bring them
TO Washington"
at once rejoined, of course: "Mr. President,
lido not know phat terms the Rebel envoys are
prepared to offer. How could knowf have

documents; on the contrary, they plead that
every American has the right to Join an Order
having the principles Of tho Sons OF
Liberty" IAN the affair amounts to, from
the proofs presented. Is" says The fndNndpo'''
Sentinel, "that certain persons have banded to-
gether to maintain certain political doctrines
subordinate to the Constitution"
According 10 the report Of the "Grand Secro-
tary" of the Order. there were, in February,
1864, in IHdians about IL, 900 members, and the
organization was at work in the States Of New.
York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, New -Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, Ohio, indiana. Illinois,
Michigan, Delaware, Maryland, and Missouri.
If oil the documents that have been published
are correct, it is certain that number of States
have in their midst associations of men who are
soelnnIy bound to rise, on fit opportunity, for
the dissolution of the Union and for forming
new Confcdcracy Of sovereign States. With
regard to their avowed intention to commit
treason, the Government has great response
biity resting upon it. Its action ought to be
prompt, undaunted, and decisive.
The Sons of Liberty, if there is any loyalty
left in the Democratic party, must soon prove
wedge for the dissolution of that party. Those
who have protested opposition 70 tho principle
OF Secession will soon have to prove whether
they can 20 hand in hand with avowsd Seces

tive ftom Maryland, against the Presidents 70.

We arc moved, however. to add that, while
w concur in much Of this protest, we cannot
regret the defeat Of the bill in question-and
this for one the reasons assigned by the Presi-
dent viz. that. while the plan of reorganization

good and efficient we would not have the
country precluded from adopting another, should

THE SONS or LIBERTY.

The papers Of Indiana publish the report Of
Gen. Darlington to Gov. Morton, exposing
the Order which first became notorious under
the name Of X. G. G. (Knights Of tho Golden
Circle), then assumed that Of o. A. X. (Order Of
American Knights), and has latterly been work.
ing under tho name Of the S. Of l.. (Sons of Lib.
erty) The report Of Gen. Darlington contains q
brssl and systematic summary Of what the
official documents Of the Order show to BIZ its
Nature, its Principles, Extent, Ofiicers, Opera
tons, and Purposes. These documents are
pubnsncu, vr ;ss,her with tho Report, aud every
truth-seeking reader, to whatever party he may
belong, can at once satisfy himself whether
Gen. Darlington has rightly understood the
language Of the documents OF not.
The most prominent doctrine Of the Order ia
Tat the United States have no sovereignty, that
every State has right to secede from the Tn.
ion, that if the Government of the United States
claims any power inconsistent with the OK.
tremest theory Of State Rights it Is q usurpoer,
and true patriots have not only the ripht
but the duty to labor for its overthrow.
The Order, Of course, claims tho right to op-
pose ths draft and the payment Of taxes for the
continuation Of the war. 1t also appears that
it has Its own army. which the COMMANDMENT.
Chief may call into active service. The present
Commander in Chief is said to DO c. L. Val.
lsndighsm.
That there arc Copperhcad' sufficiently ven.
omous In their hatred to the Government of the
United States to advocate ali that ia set forth as
the principles of the Order, including AL almost
direct appeal to arms Whenever fit opportunity
shall offer, does not admit OF any doubt. The
most virulcnt Copperbead papers Of the West
do not deny the authenticity OF the published
