To Republicans,

We have always believed that at least
portion Of the republican party-the honest
laboring men, were sincere in their opinions.
lfso, how can they longer adhere to the
party in power. They were first old line
Whigs-believing in common with the
democratic party, that the States were all
equal and that each State was sovereign, and
bad perfect right under the Constitution to
control its own institutions. They believed
in nationality and not in sectionalsm. They
were opposed to the reasonable doctrines of
Aboltionism. But their leaders have drift
ed over to full communion with the abol
ton faction. Can you 60 with them? They
have deceived You. They promised that
they did not mean to interfere with the in
stitutions of States. They promised that
their principles would lead to no disaster, that
they would preserve peace, reduce our expen.
ditures, ensure economy and honesty, and
bless the country. Take now the theving
the taxes, the monstrous and increasing debt
and all the ruin that is upon US, and see how
they have falsifed every promise. They can
not claim that they could not have prevented
it. The power was in their hands, and when
they could have compromised it, they would
not. They were determined to revolutioinze
and free the the nggers Then comes ccloni
cation or amalgamation and equality in addi
tion to all the ruin already upn us Turr

promised four years ago, and see where they
are now. Can any sensible man 20 with

TX General Nc Clellan on the 7th, July

* General Nc Clellan on the 7th, July
1862, addressed letter to the President,
wherein he gives him the following good ad
vice. If the President had needed it how
much better would be the condition of the
country to day! 1t is not surprising that
the general was superseded by General Burn
side, as he would not be made the tool of the
administration to do its unholy work. He
was not friendly to the abolition programme,
hence his decapitation.
"The time has come when the Govern
ment must determine upon civil and militia
ry policy covering the whole ground of our
national trouble. The responsibility OF
determining, declaring, and supporting such
civil and military policy, and Of directing the
whole course Of national affairs in regard to
the Rebellion, must now be assumed and ex-
ercised by you, or our cause will be lost.
The Constitution gives you power sufficient
even for the present terrible exigency, This
Rebellion has assumed the character of war
as snch it should be regarded, and 1t should
be conducted upon the highest principles
known to Christian civilization. 1t should
not be war looking to the subjugation o
people of any State in any event 1t should
not be at all war upon population, bur
against armed forces and political organiza
ton. Neither con6scation or property, po
litical executions. Of persons, territorial or
ganzations of States, or forcible abolition o.
Slarery. should be contemplated for mo

The Change Of Base.

The Journal Of Commerce discusses the
political change of base SO adroitly effected by
tho Administration. In the beginning, the
war was prosecuted for restoring the Union,
and such means employed as would most
surely tend to that result Then came q
change Of measure, the adoption of radical
policy, without an avowed change of purpose.
The Union was still to be restored, and that
alone was the object sought. But the new
policy was found not to tend that way. So
came change of purpose. We quote:
"And the reason for this change is only
too plain. The President made great pro-
fessions of conservatism for a year or. two,
and was doubtless honest in them. He was
slowly led into adopting the Abolition wea-
pons which he had ridiculed and reiectd
He issued the bull against the comet lie
found,as he had once believed but forgotten
that the comet,to wit. the rebellion-was not
harmed by the bull. His advisers never be
lieved that it would be. The next step
then, was TO make the bull effective against
something; and by very easy process, in
stead of changing weapons for the sake Of in
juring the rebellion, the Administration
changed the object Of the war for the sake of
making use Of pet weapon.
,All this explains the melancholy exhibi-
ton made in the Presidents Message and
Proclamation. The only vision of restored
Union here given US is after the adoption by
the people of the South of the Abolition dog.
mas, and that So through an adoption that
they must take it into their bosOms and sol
emnly swear in the presence of Almighty
God that they love and cherish it and will
support it heartily
Has any one seen a sensible man who ex
presses hope Of a termination Of the war
through this plan Has any one heard an
inteient Republican or Democrat say, ''now
can see the end 2" Not one. We hear
men say, This settles the doom of slavery"
but was that what we began the war for q
Is that what We are now supporting it for?
"But," says some one hesi,atngly. "hut
when slavery is destroyed the rebellion will
collapse" Friend, that notion Is played out
long ago. There is not a boy in the land
that does not know its folly and the Aboli-
tionlsts, having driven the people into sup
porting their measures by telling them this
falsehood; have dropped it now for some
months. The end of rebellion, and the end
of slavery are two distncts aud totally dis
connected portions.

ACCIDENT AT RAvINE SHAFr.-On tn 9
26th of December, Martin McAndrus, Terr-
ence Coyle, John Locus with four others,
went into two Of the boilers of the Ravine
Goa Company to clean them While they
were in, some one accidently turned the hot
water into the boilers and so scalded the per-
sons above named that to-day they are all
dead. McAudrus lived "a hours, Coyle about
27 hours, and Locus died on Tuesday night
At IL o'clock. 1t has not yet been ascertain
ed who it was that committed this sad mis-.
take. The boilers are connected BY two
and half inch pipe, and at the time the wa
ter was turned on there was rs pounds OF
steam to the square inch, so that the water
must have rushed in at mighty speed. The
cries OF the poor men were dreadful, and be.
ing promptly heard by Mr. David Pearce, the
Engineer, he instantly shut of the water,
otherwise the bodies would have been taken

Gov. Seymour Oh National Affairs.

The Legislature of the State of New York
assembled on Tuesday of last week. Gov
Seymour's annual message was read. After
referring to State topics, he devotes portion
of his message to the consideration of militia
~ matters in connection with the draft, &c.
and then discusses national affairs at lergth,
and closes as follows;
" But one course will save US from nation
al ruin. We must adhere to the solemn
pledges made by our Government at the out
set of the war. We must seek to restore
the Union and uphold the Constitution. To
this end, while we put forth every excrtion
to beat down armed rebellion, we must use
every influence Of wise craftsmanship to
to bring back the States who now reject their
constitutional obligations. We must nut
forth every honorable nducement 10 the peo-
pie of the South to assume again the rights
and duties of American citizenship. We
have reached that point in the progress of the
war for which all have struggled: We now
stand before the world great and successful
military power, Wise craftsmanship can
now bring this war toa close upon the terms
solemnly avowed at the outset. Good faith
to the public creditors, to all classes of citi-
zehs and to the world, demands that this
should. be done. The triumphs won by our
soldiers should be followed up and cured by
the peace making policy of the statesman IN
the cabinet. In no other way can We save
the Union"

This is only one of the stupid blunders
committed in The War Department. Poor
Gallager was only private and oe course a
private has no feeling and must be strung IN
like dog, to crafty the whim of some arbi

months. the War Department discovers that
Gallegsr is innocent, orders him to return TO
h,s regiment; but il was too late. The bone
of poor Gallager, the private, are moulderipp
