A"LOyal" Miscegen PrOnOunces
the War an Abolition War.

FRED. DouGLAss the colored American
of miscegen descent lately delivereda speech
in Hartford, Conn, in which he charged
the American Eagle with having laid pro-
slavery eggs" and said:
The Democrat party was not dead Far
from it. 1t had the elements of great pow
er, but there was not so much danger from
it as from the Republican party. The Dem
ocracy boldly and truthfully announced the
true issue of the war; 1t was a negro war.
1t was an Abolition war. The Democrats
were right on the head; and hit the nail
every time. But he did not respect their
motives. They would continue the Consti-
tuition as it is. They would perpetuate slav-
cry, in order to bring all together as for
merly. He denounced this as rascally. The
Republicans, fearing that Abolition was
not popular, denied that the war was in
reality and in fact for Abolition. The timid
cowardly men among them We're shrinking
from the true issue in seeking for popular
ity. Here was the danger. The war is for
Abolition, and its object must be announced,
and carried on accordingly.

and these are, either au Acknowledgement
OF the Independence Of the South, as an in
dependent nation, or their complete subju-
CATION and determination as people; and of
these alternatives, | prefer the former
Mr.. Chairman, take little or no interest
in the discussion the question which MANY
OF my Political friends would make an issue
as to how this war shall be prosecuted, its
manner and object. L regard that as worse
than trifiing with the great question l do
not believe there can be any prosecution of
the war against sovereign State under the
Constitution and | do not believe that
war so carried on can he prosecuted so as to
render it proper, iustifiable or expedient =
An unconstitutional war can only be carried
on IN an unconstitutional manner, and to
prosecute it further under the idea of the
gentleman from Pennsylvania Mr. Ste
vens, as a war waged against the Confed-
crate States as an Independent nation, for
the purpose of conquest and subjugation,
as he proposes, and the administration is in
truth and in fact doing, or to pretended
war Tor the preservation Of the Uuion, l am
equally opposed.
say further, Mr.. Chairman, that if this
war is to be still further prosecuted, I pre-
fer that it shall be done under the auspices
OF those who now conduct its management,
as do not wish the party with which am
connected to be in any degree responsible
for its results, which cannot be otherwise
than disastrous and suicidal. Let the re-
sponsibility rest where tits until we can have
achange Of policy instead of men, if such a
thing is possible. Nothing could be more
fatal to the Democratic party than to seek to
come into power pledged to continuance of
a war .policy---such policy would be libel
upon its creed in the past and the ideas that
lie at the basis of all free governments,
and would lead to its complete dcmoraliza-
ton and ruin.
l believe the masses of the Democratic
party are for peace, that they would be
placed in false position if they should
nominate a war candidate for the Presiden-
| cy and seek to make the issue upon the mar
row basis of how the war should be prose
cuted. For my own part, as | have already
, indicated, | fear that our old government
cannot be preserved, even under best auspi-
ces and under any policy that may now be
+ adopted, vet | desire to see the Democratic
party, with which | have always been con.
: nected preservee its consistency and repub-
t lican character unshaken.

From tho Portsmouth, [Ohiol Times1
The following highly important letter of
the Secretary of the Treasury, written to
prominent Republican of Portsmouth, has
recently come into our possession. AS re-
vealing the policy and motives that con-
trolled the Administration and the leading
statesman of the republican party just pre-
vious to and at the time of their installment
into power, it is of great value, and should
be given publicity to aid in making up and
explaining the history Of that critical period
of the country. The italics are our own

session.
