republish from the New York World the follow.

know to be utterly reliable. NE make the follow

condition OF the exchange Of prisoners question:
L. From August, 1862, TO August 1868. the
exchange Of prisoners vas conducted through
Lieut. COL Ludlow of Gen. Dx's staff. on the
one side and Robert Ould rs the agent of the
rebel government on the other. As all the pre-
Iiminaries under the cartel had % be arranged by
these gentlemen. the duties Of the positions they
held we're much more delicate aud arduous than
they could possibly have been subsequently,
but as both agents were determined 10 agree ra-
Their than differ and there was no disposition
on either side to overreach the other. fie ex-
change went on without interruption until Col.
Ludlow was relieved. During the year, he was
on duty, II will be remembered that the rebels
had the advantage in the number of prisoners,
but he succeeded somehow In getting them all
exchanged
2. We further understand that neither Colonel
Ludlow nor Mr.. 0uld were embarrassed by in
structions from their respective Governments

New Comprehend.

The leading radical paper in New York has
been converted to copperheadsm. In view of such
a change, what may not be expected Here is
the new statement of creed:
ITO a considerable extent. the Administration
is so identified with the Government that, in
times OF serious public peril, they must stand or
fall together"
To a considerable extent onlyi Here is a vast
change of opinion; an evidence of the return of
wisdom clear indication of conversion TO COP
perlleadsm. The most virulent of the Northern
opponents OF the Administration never pretended
10 any other doctrine than this, that the Admin
istraton is not Identical with the Government,
and is only identified with the Government Ito a
considerable extent" Only a few weeks ago we
were told by the radical men that the Admins
tration was the Government. Our readers will
remember how we prophesied that when the
Presidential campaign should open the radicals
would repudiate their own favorite theory. Here
is notable instance of the reputation We fore
told. 1t follows, 10y only a few days, series of
articles in the same paper, pronouncing against
Mr. Lincoln for re election, and as a necessary
part Of the process of opposition.
Now let US put :, few plain questions for the
neophytes in this doctrine. To study and an
swer them will DO them good. and assist them
along the path of wisdom they are beginning to
follow.
aside the constitutional provision for cleo
ton, il in his Judgment the rebellion can best be
put down by his continuing in Office?
Why is it not just proper for him to deprive
a million Of free Americans of their privilege of
the ballot in the entire North. as to deprive one
man of his liberty2
Why does not the doctrine of military necessity
justify the violation Of the Constitution in this
matter as fully as in the matter of seizures and
searches of papers, suspension of newspapers in
the mails. banishing the candidate for Governor
OF Ohio, dismissing Mr. Edgery from the army
for voting the Democratic ticket, or any similar
act2
Why is it not the duty OF Mr. Lincoln to deny
1.-The New York Tribune circulation in the mails
'ior its recent copperhead course in opposing a
continuance OF his administration
Wha' is the distinction in principle between
any one of the arbitrary proceedings of the Adj
ministraton heretofore, and absolute seizure of
the reins OF power for four years ongerY
Finally, ought not Mr. Lincoln TO use the
same measures for suppressing the copperhead
friends of Mr.. Chase and Gen. Frepont, that he
has used to suppress other opponents of his ad-
ministrationS Would he not be perfectly iusti-
fed in imprisoning and affecting them-anj. il
not, why not?-[N. Y. Journal of Commerce.
