THE BASIS OF THE NATIONAL CAUSE.

We alluded few days ago to the evidences af-
forded in favor of the substantial grounds which
the cause of the Government rests in the present
struggle as seen in the fact that that cause equally
claims and receives, in its essential features, the
support of the Democratic Governor of New Jer-
sey and Of the Republican Governor Of Massacbu.
SETS while they radically differ as to the expedi-
ency and even the coLstitutonality of some of the
measures adopted by the administration in the con-
duct of the " war for the Union" And there are
candid men in the South who can perceive the ne
cessty laid on the Federal Government and on the
Loyal States to resist the destructive principle Of
secession, which lays its axe at the very root Of the
tree under whose shadow the whole nation sat in
p ace and safety. To this effect the Hon. Thos.
Butler King, Of Georgia, in recent letter, to which
we have previously adyerted, writes as follows:
War end peace and s,oner or later both par.
ties must agree to terms upon which they will lay aside
their he events OF the past two years should be
sufficient TO convince every reasonable man. both North
and South, that It is impossible for the Federal Govern
ment to subugae our people and statesmen Of the South
cannot fail to perceive that the Federal Gopsrnme
abandon The oar ercept restoration Of the Union NTH.
ont danger 81 ne further dsm.,nberment Of the nation"
And in view of this attitude, necessarily i'm
pressed on the Federal Government not only by
considerations Of constitutional fidelity, but by the
most primary instincts of selfpreservatiop, he
avows the conclusion that, unless both parties
can be influenced bya spirit Of concession and
compromise, no man can answer how long the pre-
sent desolating and exhausting war will last

Administration as Gov Andrew from. tho policy
which preceded it. 1t may be that Gov Parker
is entirely wrong in his peculiar views, but none
can deny that he knows how to concilate loyalty to
his convictions with loyalty to his Government.
There are those who suppose themselves to IN
crease the strength of the Administration by arragn-
ing and vilifying as "traitors," "sympathlzers
with rebels" or men of questionable loyalty" all
who do not concur with them in certain views OF
public policy. We have studousy proposed 10
ourselves different rule of duty. We have sought
to find points of agreement rather than OF dissen-
sion among all who honestly desired to labor Tor
the preservation of the Constitution and the resto-
ration of the Union in its integrity. We have not
found in all dissent from particular measures OF
the Administration the marks of treason even
when this dissent has been pushed to the verge OF
faction at one time by the nominal adherents and
at another by the nominal opponents OF the Ac-
ministration, though on this score we feel bound
to say that the Administration has had more to
suffer, if not to fear, from the former than from
the latter. If those who Loyalty support equally
with those who Loyalty oppose the Administration
could be brought to do greater justice to each
others opinions and purposes, we might hope
to see our political contests divesteu OF their
turbulence and ferocity, with an addition made to
the moral force and symmetry of our popular IN
situations But to this end 1T is needed, in the
words of Bacon, " to have the mind move in Cha
rity, rest in Providence, and turn the poles OF
Truth"

THE NATIONAL BANKS.

The Comptroller of the Currency has just issued
pamphlet containing suggestions for the guild
snce and instruction Of the managers of banks es
tablished under the National Banking System OF
Mr. Secretary CHASE. Ia the course Of his sug-
gestions, Mr. McCulloch makes the following allu-
sion to the real financial condition Of the country
Notwithstanding its seeming prosperity:
Bear constantly in mind although the Loyal States APP
pear superciay to be in prosperous condition, that
ach not the fact That while the Government is en-
gagged in the suppression OF rebellion OF unexampled
ferceness and magnitude and constantly draining the
country of its laborng and producing population and d.
yerng its mechanical industry from works of permanent
value to the construction Of implements OF warare while
cities crowded and the country 10 10 tho same extent
depleted and waste and extravagance prevail they
before prevailed in the United States the nation,
whatever may be the external ndcatons not prosper
ing The war ia which we involved 10 stern
sty and be prosecuted for the preservation of the
Government, matter what may be its cost but the
country will unquestonaby be the poorer every day is
continued The seeming prosperity Of the Loyal States
is owing mainly the large expenditures Of the Govern
ment and the redundant currency which these expend
to render necessary Keep these facts con-
stanty in mind and the affairs OF your respective
banks with perfect consciousness that the apparent pros
perty of the country will be proved to be unreal when
the war is closed if not before; and be prepared by
careful of the trust committed to you help
the nation from financial collapse, instead OF
lending your influence to make it more certain and more
severe"
The Comptroller proceeds to advise the mana
gers of the new banks to do nothing to encourage
speculation, to make discounts on short time, and
to secure payment Of all loans, even if the money
is not wanted distribute your loansrather than
concentrate them in few hands" he says: Charge

"splendid fnanciering;" and especially do what
you can to expedite the return to specie payments.
He adds:

the issues Of the Government should be legal tender il
