,(6eiore lohH The New York Times of the
9th inst, contains letter from its Paris
correspondent "Malakoff," written under
date January 20, 1865, in which these
paragraphs occur: ,
~ Irhe declaration Of the Richmond pa
pcrs to the effect that the South is ready
to become abOlitiOnists, as we'll Us the
North, has been seized upon with eager,
ness by the French rebel press, as pre-,
text for urging recognition. Even the
Sofficial jonrpaf prints prominently and

GENTLY so to give great courage to the
SecessiOnists here, this declaration OF the
Richmond journals about abolition for
recognition. The C0RstitutiOnneU, which
has always known verys well the promi-
nent role played by the slavery question
in American affairs, says plainly that this
is the only barrier in the way OF recog-
milton, and that if this barrier were re-
moved the South ought to be recog-
nized. ................
The total Of the situation is, there
fore, this, that in France there is party
in Government circles violently opposed
to the Government of the United States,
and ready to lend a helping hand to the
rebellion at once and in any way that
would he most useful a party which IS
opposed to the Republic as a dangerous
example to France, which fears the Uni
fed States in Mexico, and which believes
that the South is or intends to become
like themselves, an aristOcracy This
marty. it is true, is in a minority; but
like all minoritiss it makes the most
noise: it fixes the pretensions higher, in
sists louder upon occupying the attee
tion of the public, and may in the end
worry the public into its way OF think
inc. At any rate it does harm to the
Union cause, and onght to be combatted
with its own arms"
We may have nothing to fear from
France, but we are exceedingly sceptl-
cal on that point.

HATE AS AN ELEMENT OF POWER
One of the principal occupations of Re-
publican editors now is to cultivate feel
ings of hate OH the part of the people
North towards the people South. They
became so accustomed to this for many
years before the war and during the war
that they are quite unwilling to resign
the occupation now 1t is indeed their
principle stock in trade, the staple com.
modify of their political system. If the
people North and Sonth should get to
liking each other, the occupation of these
editors ould be gone.
Their political existence and party
success depend, not upon love charity
and other Christian virtues, but is pro-
moted almost wholly by hate. The more
the people of the North hate the people
of the South, the more certain do tho
Radicals feel of success. Hence the in.
dustry with which hatred is cultivated
by the Racical press and politicians. A
reign of love of peace on earth and good
will to men" would restore the Demo-
cratic party to power-hence none but
Copperhedds are in favor of it, People
must not be allowed to love one another;
if they do, the Republican party will lose
its power.-Quincy Herald.

have been here for several days, with an
object of calling on the President as a
delegation in behalf Of themsefyesAt sAtand
others, concerning pardons. Yesterday
the self.consttuted committee visited
the White House and were addressed by
the President in a friendly way, with the
enquiry where they were from. A mem
Der of the delegation in pompous style
replied: I'VE are proud to say that we
are from the city of Richmond. The
President remarked that he did not sec
any pride in that fact, and turning his
back, turned his attention to other mat
ters. Thus ended the interview Sew
eral parties came up today to reinforce
the delegation, but what new movement
will he attempted is not yet DEVELOPED.
