Tic Erening Post strenuously obiec.

The Erening Post strenuously objects to the
reception by our Government Of ENJOYS or COM
missioners from the Richmond concern, as in.
volyine virtual recognition Of the Slave
holders Confcderacy; but says:
"Jhere Is work. however. for Peace Commissioners.
The Government cannot treat with emissares OF Davis
or the Rebel chiefs because they represent nobody but
themselves. But II has right to treat with the Staes
may with propriety send agents to the Governor the
Legislature the People Of any State suppose Con
gress should recommend and Mr.. Lincoln appoint Com
sorcrs, gentlemen OF character and Influence 10
proceed 10 Savannah. 10 converse with Gov Brown
upon the state OF the country upon the folly OF longer
war and upon the way In which Georgia can best be
restored to peace and prosperity That seems TO Us an
effort worth making"
Has The Post fully considered It's position :
We apprehend that to recognize Joseph T..
Brown ms legitimately Governor Of Georgia in
wolves consequences identical with those it seeks
to avoid. For, if Brown is Governor Of Georgia,
is not William Smith Governor of Virginia and
if so, what is Francis II. Pierponti And who
is Governor of TENNESSEE
II strikes us that we have progressed too far
in solid fighting to care much for questions Of
etiquette. If the Confederate armies can whip
ours, then the Confederacy Is fixed fact; If il
can't, then il isn't; and no unintended admis-
sion can make it so. II President Lincoln, be-
ing at City Point, should see fit to walk over
into Richmond and there have free, informal
two hours talk with jeff. Davis with view to
Peace, he might como back unsuccessful and
order Grant to 20 ahead; and the Conlederacy
would be no more acknowledged nor entitled to
recognition, than it was before. Cannon and
bayonets have small regard for technicalities or
subtleties; and the sword of Lee remains the
sole pillar Of the Southern Confederacy.

authorities Whether they viii be accepted or not. Is

such as any one might make with tolcrable
safety, and in New.York quite as well as In
Washington; but they arc only guesses, alter
all. And the principal consequence and proba-
be purpose of airing them at this time is to
furnish basis for structures which are plainly
calculated TO blast all hope Of an early paciiiea-
ton.

NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR.

~. National Republican of yesterday says :;
ola our last edition yesterday, We announced that
Mai Gen. Butler was relieved commander of the
Department Of Virginia and North Carolina 1T is
perhaps proper to add that this done at the instance
and BY the particular request Of Lieut. Gen. Grant the

Gen. Butler is TO appear before the Commit
tee on the Conduct of the War, 10 testify as to
the causes Of the failure Of the expedition
against Wilmington. In the meantime, how
ever, the country would ike to see his official
report TO Gen. Grant on that subject, and we
eau conceive of no good reason why it
should be withheld. That of Commodore
Porter having been published, there is an
evident propriety in making public also the rec
port of the General commanding theland forces.
As a mere act Of justice to General Butler this
should be DONE aud if it fails tojustify bis con.
duet there viii no longer be any question Of the
proprety of his removal. To keep it from the
public inevitably suggests the suspicion that
there is something to conceal which would tel
in his favor.

PEACE RUMORs.
statement,

We cannot pretend to such thorough and H.
innate knowledge as those who know abso-
lutely nothing Of what is going forward in the
way Of Peace negotiations; but We can say
with confidence that the course Of certain prom
inent journals in the North seems not only cal
cuated but intended to e1tinguish every spark
Of hope that those negotiations may give peace
TO our country.
The last Democratic National Convention
held at Chicago demonstrated Oh some points
foolishly, mischievously; but its platform judi
ciously abstaned from even naming Slavery.
Like wisdom evinced in other respects
would have insured the success Of its cand-
dates. To say nothing with regard TO the iu-
ture when you know not what to say, this is an
acme of wisdom which men slowly and with
difficulty attain; but no other axiom so uni
formly points to the path of safety and success.
We do not know how the fact has transpired
that Gen. Singleton Of Illinois recently left
Washington for Richmond on an errand of con.
citation; but a fact it undoubtedly is Yet it
is not pretended-at lcast, it cannot be with
truth-that Gen. Singleton either does or will
profess to represent, however informally, the
President of the United States, or that his mission
is other than purely selfprompted. Gen. Single
ton is "Peace Democrat HE is opposed to
what is termed Coercion"-he enjoys the
personal friendship and esteem of certain OF the
Confederate chiefs, who can have no doubt OF
his hearty good Will. But he is also sincerely
DESTROYS that the Union may speedily be re-
stored both In spirit and letter; and he believes
no can at Richmond facilitate that cOnsumma-
ton. We understand his visit was not merely
authorized but invited from the Rebel capitals
VIC are confident that it was simply not forbid.
den from our side. And We are quite sure that,
so far from having any connection with Mr.
Blair's visit, Gen. Singleton docs not even know
what Mr.. Blair will suggest as basis Of Peace,
and that there are not four persons in the loyal
States who do know. What excuse, then, can
be made for setting anoat such apocryphal tele-
grams as the followingi

forever It's claim to direct in the least degree the
policy of any European Government in matters

policy of any European Government In matters
and probably the Pope is
tho only person in Europe who is yet pos.
sessed with q hope that tho alternative is
still open to him. lie believes it is
possible to "put back the hands on the dial
plate Of the ages" to re-convert the nineteenth
century into the eleventh.; and to reestabliSh
the priesty checks which once controlled the
purpose and the thought of Christendom, aud
which reduced great empires into vassaage Of
belief and action alike II would seem as if
there were one man left in the world who be-
ieves in another crusade
If this be deemed strong statement, the
passages arc at hand in this Bull with which to
support it. The Pope denounces as "impious
aud absurd the opinion which men "dare to
express, "that the perfect right Of public 80.
ciety and civil progress absolutely require con-
dition of human society constituted and gov.
erned without regard to all considerations of
religion, as if it had no existence, or at least
without making any distinction between true
religion and heresy." In the same terms he
holds up to reproach those who believe:
"that the best condition Of society is that In
which the power of the laity is not compelled
to infict the penalties Of law upon violators OF
the Catholic religion unless required by con.
sdcrations Of public safety" And he reaches
the climax when, quoting the words OF
Gregory XVI, Pope Plus TX proclaims 1t
"delirium," and "very hurtful to the safety
Of the Catholic Church and Of souls" to
propagate this erroneous opinion" viz, that
"Liberty Of conscience and Of worship is the
right Of every man, right which ought to be
proclaimed and established by law in every we'll
constituted State; and that citizens are entitled
to make known and declare, with liberty which
neither the ecclesiastical nor the civil authority
can limit, their convictions, Of whatever kind,
either By word Of mouth, or through the press,
or by other means"
So that Roman Catholic citizens Of tho United
States are summoned to choose between the
doctrines which were expressed in the Declare
ton Of Independence, which underlie the Con-
stitution, and which are the corner.stones Of
this social and political system, and the
doctrines which the Pope authortatiyely
enuncates. We DO not for a moment
question the result. We believe that Roman
Catholicism which like every other religion is
tolerated by law, Is consistent with good
citizenship, and we only regret that the head Of
the Catholic church should have chosen to I'M
pose upon his flock the necessity ofrejecting his
suggestions in matters temporal while they will
still cling to him as an instructor and ever as an
infalliblc guide in their articles Of religious
faith

THE POPE,s hull.

There have been ages when Bull from the
Pope to The Church Universal could shake the
world. II was not matter 10 DO discussed or
argued about; it was a, rule Of doctrine 10 be
received with profound respect and unquestion-
ing obedience. We have so far changed all
that, that wo suppose there is no country i'll
Europe with the possible exception Of Catholic
Ireland, in which the extraordinary document
lust issued from st. Peters will not challenge
considerable criticism. and provoke spirit OF
hostility and dsobedience more or less resent
full In proportion to the civilization and intelli-
gence of different communities. As for the
United States, the enlightened portion Of the
Catholic Church will listen to this declaration
with every profession Of outward respect, but
will inwardly wonder that the present Head of
the Church should prove at once so ignorant of
the state of that public opinion which no seeks
10 control, and SO little slrewd TO conceal his
blunders.
For the last Bull Of Ills Holiness the Pope is
supplcation, couched in those traditional
forms of Ecclesiastical injunction which, like all
forms, have survived the power to make them
eilectual. Addressing himself to the venerable
brethren, patriarchs, primates archbishops and
bishops Of tie Catholic Church, Plus TX eNcr-
cises his pastoral solcitude to destroy those
new opinions which spread themselves in
hostility to the dogmas Of the Church;
opinions which, being false and peryersc, are
the more Objectionable as they especially tend
to shacAlc and turn aside the salutary force that
the Catholic Church, by the example Of her
divine Author and His order, ought freely to
exercise until the end Of time, not only with re.
gard to each individual man, but with regard to
nations, peoples, and their rulers, and to destroy
that agreement and concord between the priest
hood and tho Government, which have always
existed for the happiness and security Of rcl-
gious and civil society,""
The quoted sentence seems to indicate as
clearly as any other the purpose and to contain
the gst Of this long circular. II amounts to
this: that the Church has, as she always had,
the will to destroy"-that Is to eradicate by
violent mesns-those opinions shc deems horct.
ical; and that in the present decay OF her tenn.
poral power she means to draw forth all the
rusty weapons from her ecclesiastical armory to
penetrate the cOnscionces Of her votaries, to
arouse their prejudices against the progress OF
the age; to lead them to denounce all reforms;
to stay the benefcent hand of improvements to
oppose tho spirit Of advancing civilization.
For the Pope does probably SEQ this clearly, that
either the church must Immediately re-instate it.

We print this morning an interesting letter
from Canada which, among other things, gives
the origin Of the rumor, about which the Cana
dian press has been SO much exercised flate, OF
the probable recognition, after the fourth OF
March next, Of the Southern Confcleracy by
England and France. Dudley Mann, it seems,
has written TO Sanders that Slilel told him
(Mann) that he (Slideh) had learned from
Drouyn dc Lhuys that it was the Emperor's
intention TO recognize the Coniederncy in the
Spring, but that there was little or no hope Of
England's uniting in this scheme. Out OF this
on dit Of Mann's drunken confederate manuiac-
tured the story of the positive determination Of
the two Powers to come to tho help OF the
Rebels. The sources Of information open to
our correspondent we know to be such that
there can be no doubt OF the correctness Of bis
Stqtemput.
