Caught in lis Own Trap.

Mr.. Long said in his famous speech in
Congress, in relation to which the minia-
ture edition ofGreely made such asplutter,
THAT there are but two alternatives, and
these are, either an Acknowledgements OF the
South as an independent nation, or their
complete subjugation and determination
as a people, and OF these alternatives [ pre-
fer the former In commenting upon
this speech of Mr. Long, the Republican
SAID: Longs offence consisted in saying
that he preferred that the independence
of tie rebels should be acknowledged rath-
er than see them subjugated," and asked
us if We would not indorse the sentiment.
We then promised to answer the question
when our neighbor answered whether he
would prefer the complete sub:,ugot on and
determination of the Southern people to
acknowledging their independence, put
ting the proposition preciselyas Mr.. Long
laid it down. To this the Republican an
swered that it was in favor of subjugation,
and that this could '.be done without the
trouble of determination" and added ''if
you do not believe it, it is because you are
blind to facts. and are on Advocate OF
their cause" We said in reply, that he
had refused to answer our question. that
he evaded the real matter in issue, and
that he intimated that if we did not believe
the rebels could be subjugatcd we were
disloyal; for saying which the Republican
now says we misrepresent It.
Wherein, Was it. because we did not
give it the benefit Of the determination
part of the clause above quoted? If so,
did he not also misrepresent Dir. Long,
in the same particular and to the same ex-
tent ? And did he not prevaricate when
nc said he Lad given plain and direct

DeN12gOgIzcry.

The following letter appeared in late
number Of the New York Tribune:
SIR: Till reading your editorial in Sat
urday's T..itune, supposed that the
Treasl he Sanitary Commission had
been y replenished by the receipts
of r,sen rs, that individual donations
would not be necessary for some time
But finding that such is not the case, L
desire to send the enclosed hundred dol
lars-all have to-day-to assist in the
great and pressing needs of this eventful
hour: claiming the privilege Of forwarding
more hereafter.
So unexampled will be the demands on
this noble ano beneficent organization du-
ring the coming weeks, why would it not
be judicious and timely to appeal directly
to the people at large to send at once,
whatever their hearts impel, through their
loyal Post masters and Publication Offices?
SAY AT ONCE; for at such a time as this,
delay is death to hundreds of the noblest
heroes who ever fought and bled for an
imperilled country. Yours truly,
SCHUYLER CoLFAx.
The giving Of orc hundred dollars by
Mr.. Colfay to tie Sanitary Commission of
New York was well, but we cannot but
think that there are hundreds of poor
crippled soldiers unable to earn living,
and many destitute families made such by
the war who reside in his own Congress
sional District, whose hearts would have
been gladdencd by the aforesaid hundred.
We would not detract an iota from the
feeling of sympathy for the sick and
wounded soldiers, but We do think that the
whole system Of Sanitary Commissions is
Of itself an acknowledgment of the unwil-
lingness or inability of the government to
provide for them Let the government
make suitable provision for its sick and
wounded soldiers. and thus throw the bur
den Of their care equally upon all, leaving
the immense sums raised by private do
nations to 60 to the support of their needy
families at home. By so doing much suf-
fering and evil would be prevented and
both the sick and wounded soldiers and
their families would be comfortably provi-
ded for We do not knom that the above
letter was published in the Tribune at the
instance Of Mr. Colfax, but the fact of it's
utilization at all looks very much like it
ias intended for home consumption, to in
fueDce the voters of Mr.. C0lfax District
this fail. Add to this the expressions in
the letter Itself cal / hare 10 day
claiming the privilege of forwarding more
hereafter" and the suspicion is aroused
that there was mixed up with the worthy
Mr.. C.'s patriotism and philanthropy, at
least small modicum Of vanity and dcma-
gogueism.

The poor miserable traitors lose no opportunity
