Our Washington Correspondent,
"GRrESEvrLIF," does Gov. johnson no
more Il an simple justice in the letter
we publish this morning Few men
have been more actively opposed or
more bitterly denounced, by personal
and political enemies; and fewer still
have, in the face Of such opposition and
denunciation, received the appreciation
of the people, Who, discriminating be-
tween truth and falsehood, ia. tice and
injustice, have rewarded him for his
firm and invincible devotion to prin-
c:ple, md to republican Institutions
Had their support been ineonstant and
without feeling, it might have been at
hibuted to good fortune; but as it has
been constant and unyarying, it must
be attributed to their deep and abiding
faith in the ability, honesty and in>
tegrity OF the man No part of Gov.
Johnson's eyentful career, has been
subjected TO closer investigation, more
unreasonable opposition, or fercer in
vective, than his administration Of the
Office which he now fills; and when its
history comes to be written, the calm
Judgment of q later day viii decide
that no officer Of this mOmentOus epoch
gave less cause Of offence II is fortu-
nate for the country that he has been
chosen for the high position Of the
Vice Presidency Coinciding in opin-
ion with the Chief Magistrate, each
confding in the purity aud honesty Of
purpose Of the other; and both deter
mined that the nation shall live in de-
fiance Of treason and traitors, every
where, and that slavery shall not rise
ike a Phoenix from the ashes Of it
funeral pyre, there can be no hesitation
and doubt as 10 the future LScoIl
and JoHxssv-UxIox and Freedom, ar
tue signs in which the Nation shal
conquer.

We produce on our first page the
sneech made by General Butler at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, on the evening OF
the l4th inst II has caused consider
able speculation in the eastern cities,
where it has been received as a premo-
milton of the intentions of the Admin
istration, in shaping its policy relative
20 the rebellion. The President having
congratulated the General on the tone
and ability of the speech, the q'ad mines
of the press, assume that these specu-
lations are not without good founda-
ton. General Butler thinks that the
late election has so far sustained the
administration, and has so completely
strengthened It's hands for decisive war,
that Il is now in the best possible posi-
ton to try again liberal oderof peace.
This is what he proposes to our rebel
lious Southern brethren. He would
say TO them -" Come back, come back,
and leave off feeding on husks, and
share with US the fat Of the land, and
byeones shall be hygones, and in one
country, aud with one law, we shall live
in peace hereafter" And it is no stint
ed or halfway forgiveness that he offers
He proposes it to all, if all will sub
NIT to the laws :" and he very convinc
ingly asks -" BY 50 doing shall we not
in the eyes Of the world, have exhaust
ed all the resources of statesmanship
in our effort to restore peace to the
country
The alternative the General proposes
for a rejection of his suggested amnes
ty is continued, unrelenting war-wa
which shall, if necessary, sweep tn
population of the rebel States from tn

Mr.. John Slidell having been spoken
Of in one of the New York papers as
Southern Aristocrat," g correspondent
OF the Post furnishes that paper with
deed of trust made some forty years
ago, by Mr.. Slidell's father, from which
il appears that the old gentleman was
"soap-boiler" The correspondent
evidently has contemptuous opinion
of aristocracy" descendant from such
a source. The elder Slidell provided
for his creditors in the deed aforesaid
in sach manner as to indicate that
he was an honest man, and his having
been q soap boiler" proves nothing
against his claims to respectability.
The two things are rather in favor of
the younger Slidell, showing as they do
that he started in life under good aus
pices. But he fell into bad ways and
disgraced his parentage by political and
personal corruptions and by becoming
a traitor TO his country This is, how
ever, the foundation of his rank as a
Southern Aristocrat" The genuine
" Southern Aristocrae is the hneal de-
scendant of the cenvicts transported
from the old world TO the colonies of
Virgins and South Carolina, the blood
being improved by years of miscegena-
ton with the tender lambs and ewes Of
the African population. Whilst Mr.. Sill
dell, the younger, claims to be a
"Southern Aristocrat' he cannot be
said to belong to the true stock; be-
cause he was neither born in Virginia
nor South Carolina, but in higher lat
itude, north of Mason and Dixon's line.
But, if he does not belong to the first
class, he may be placed amongst the
second.
