TEE NEW LOAN.

We are sure that all our readers gave the address
of Mr.. FEssENDEN, the Secretary of the Treasury,
which we published yesterday, calling on the peo-
pie for contributions to the support Of the Govern
ment, the attention it should command in the pre-
sent financial condition of the country. The Sc
cretary acted wisely we doubt not, in declining the
loan of bank credit offered by the banking insttu-
lions of New York city. Indeed, we have seen it
suggested that such concentration of bank credit
and Government credit in one channel, however
safe and advantageous it might have been in
ordinary times, is fraught with danger and damage
during period when the currency has become
enormously expanded, not only by the issues of the
Government, but by the circulation and fictitious
deposits" e.. e. book credits) Of the banks them
selves. The British Government understood this
so well that the Bank of England was limited by
act Of Parliament from making during the war with
Nsp$ SpnP advances or loans to the Government to
the ek6ekt of more than 96,OOO,O0O, and the Brit
ish Go yernment, it is said by the New York World,
never borrowed even as much as that sum from the
bank at any one time. Itonly remained, therefore,
for Mr.. Fessenden to appeal directly to the people,
and that he has done in terms suited to the occasion
We do not doubt that the loyal PEOPLE of the Uni
ted States will honor his call they honored those
Of his predecessor.

NOTE BY THE EDITORS.

AS, in the judgment of our correspondent,
(whose evident candor inspires us with entire re-
spect) "the only thing to be considered in de-
terminiDg the propriety of the construction We
have placed on Gov. Andrews reply to the Secre-
tary's application for four additional regiments Of
Massachusetts troops in the month of May, 1862,
is, whether the application could be considered ga
call, urgent or otherwise, we have simply to say
that this question is, we think, sufficiently an
swered by the terms of the Governors reply. He
every where speaks of it as Ga CALL" saying, at
the very outset after quoting the terms of the ap
plication, {" a call SO sudden and unexpected fnds
me without materials for an intelligent reply"
And at the close Of his reply the Governor said:
But if the President will sustain Gen. Hunter and
cognsc all men, black men, legally capable of that
gnt with God and human nature their side, the roads
viii swarm, need be, with multitudes whom New Eng
land would pour out to obey your call"
As the Republican Convention which placed
Gov. Andrew in nomination for reelection in the
year 1862 declined to pass vote of confidence in
MIR. Lincoln's Administration, we do not doubt
that our correspondent is right when he says that
the Governor, in his reply, represented correctly
the prevalent feeling of disafection then existing
in Massachusetts,. "The more is the pity" We
wish our friend was able to add that the Governor
had proved himself in that reply as true prophet
as he was faithful expounder Of Massao husets
timent, for in that case we should see "swarms"
Of New England men fastening to fire at the
enemy's magazine" whereas, now that the P-esi-
dent has adopted his policy, the Governor pro-
poses, we believe, to draw his " swarms" from the
magazine" itself, that as few as possible of the
sons of Massachusetts, may have the privilege of
"fghting with God and human nature on, their
side"
