spoat;ne terms with cacl, other. Thee, is
neithq, harmony nor system in the wo- king
of the different bureaus. Zach $ ecrctary
runs his own '.lnachine" or his own hook
and the President runs With or counter to
them all as the pressure" Of events may
Dictate.
When Stanton ISSUED. his order directing
military comrnapdersf o give transportation,
k,bsistsnse and kosscssisn of the Methodist
Churches South b The Northern Bishop
ATies, Lincoln answered complaint from
81. Louis, in communication TO Gen. Cur
It's, saying:
But I must adj that the United States
goyerument must not, as by this order, un-i
dcrtahc 10 run the churches. When All isl-
diyidual in church Or out Of it becomes
dangerous to the public interest he must be
checked, but the churches as such must
take care Of themselves.
Notwithstanding this declaration Of The
President, the order Of the Secretary Of War
has been carried out in the running of the
churches through Bishop Amcs. And only
few days ago Bishop Elder of Natchcz was
or,ierui banis.led and his church was con-
fiscaiel because he refused TO permit Gen.
Brayman to prescribe the form and sub
stance of his religious service.
Again: Mr.. Lincoln has issued his Ill
tmatun that the war must 60 OH until 'tic
abandonment Of slavery is accomplished.
Al the same time his Secretary Of State
comes to New York on an elcctionecring
trip, and assumes TO say in speech at Au-
burn:
Although altogether unauthorized to
speak for the President upon hypotheticot
questions, think can give an answer up
on the subject Of slavery at the present day
I AN answer which will he erpiicit, and /
hope not altogether unsatisfactory.
When the insurgents shall have disband
ed their armies and laid down their arms,
the war viii instantly ccasc-anl all the war
mcasuscs then existing, including those
which Affect slavery, will ccasenlso and all
the moral, economical and political qucs-
| tons, as well questions affecting slavery as
others, which Shall thenbe existing between
| individuals and States, and the Federal gov
crnment, whether they arose before tho civ
| il war began, or whether thty grew out OF it,
| will, by force of the Constitution pass over
| to the arbitrancnt Of courts Of law, and to
councils of legislation.
The President b. proclamation, the Bal
timore Convention by resolution, the Re
publican journals by ardent advocacy, all
declare that the war shall not end until sla-
very is wiped out The language Of the
| Baltimore resolutions is as emphatic and
unqualified as that of thcsPrcsident's ulti-
mltun. 1t is:
That as slavery was the cause and now
| constitutes tic strength OF this rebellion,
justice and the national safety demand its
utter and complete er.irpation .trom tie soij
| or tho rtpu6iic.
Now a. slavery must be ''abandoncd' and
''extirpatcd' before the war ceases, who
cannot see thcs'lcmasogisn,, the hypocrisy,
the lying cant Of VIM. II. Seward when he
undertakes to deceive conservative men by
assuring them that all questions, moral,
economical and POLITICAL respecting slavery
will pass TO the 70 arbtrament courts and
legislatures on the dawning Of pcace-quest-
ions Tie subject matter Of rhich Is to be an
nihttated jeyors zee can hare any such Miag
as peace This is the pettioggcry and
double dealing of the Statesmen who
form our present national administration !!
And again: The Secretary of War in his
official dispatch to General Dix recently,
says that the draft must take place. His
words are:
The Provost Marshal Generals Office is
busily employed in arranging the credits Of
the several districts oaa Is ordered to draft
srVhout delay for the deficiencies in the DIS
tricts that have not filed their quotas, be-
ginning with those most in arrears. Cred
its for volunteers will be allowed rs long as
possible, but the advantage Of filling the ar
mics requires The dratt to be speedily made
in the dclaulting districts. ill applicants
haze therefore been reused.
The Secretary Of State in his Auburn
speech assures the people that the draft will
not take place. Here are his words: :.
We sa"U hue no dryf, because tie army
Is oeing reinforced at the rate Of tire 0. t,7e
thousand +" day by roluntesrs (liurrah for
the vo!unteers.)
Now what confidence can be felt in either
the ability, the honesty Or the sincerity of
an admins ration which is thus discordant
aud dishonest in its views and actions?
