MIR. ABpOTT TO MIR. srRAcrE
Greeley on Chandler.

The New York Tribune expresses its utter
dissent from thewild proposition of the Michi-
gan Senator Chandler, that our newly appoint
ed minister g to London with a demand in one
hand and a threat in the other:
ave do not believe that the proper spirit in
which to conduct this negotiation is one of blus-
tey or threatniug. We do not believe that il is
desirable to approach an ancient empire, as
proud as she is still powerfui, with the notice
that she must settle promptly, on our terms, in
thirty days, or fybt for her possessions which
We are quite capable Of taking, in thirty more,
with the volunteers from single one of our
States
Neither the new administration nor the
new minister viii forget that, aSer all, the
English are Of the same blood with ourselves,
and that, because they are, they must not be
bgIiied We all know that Great Britain is too
proud q nation to be coerced by unworthy fears.
IAt Us nos forget that the United States is too
great nation 70 Gail in securing Justice, and
too absolutely assured of her power to secure
il, 20 be guilty of the buster aud brayado
which characterize only the weak"

How They TAX.

b Il is somewhat amusing 70 Sc. ia the present
state Of political aud insheial affairs how bell
rgerent certain parties are-and how Chilly
they prate about war 10 defence Of the national
honor,-and how ,uagiiloqueu,ly they talk Of
the ability that Jonathan possesses to lick John
Bull and Louis Napoleon out Of their boots -
These warlike gentry are also imprcssel with
the ilca that
q" No pent-up Utica should cor tract our powers,
For the whole bouudless Coz. unent Is 0urs.'
The late foreign news detailing the attitude
Of this Republic towards Cuba. and the fact
that the French Emperor has sent special
messenger to confer with England upon the
subject is the immediate occasion Of all this
patriotic eheryescence. II is cOnsoling to be-
Hevs, however, that this government Will act
with its usual caution with regard to Spain,
and that its demand for reparation on account,
Of certain improper proceedings Of its naval Of
ficers in Cuban waters, viii be promptly met,
as the Spanish minister at Washington has al
ready indicated.
While we are as tenacious Of national honor
and national glory as any man can be, we are
also mindful Of the fact that the national ttiiih
is also pledged on our bonds, to the amount Of
many millions, held by our own aud by citi-
zens Of the old world. And il strikes US, that
nothing but the direst necessity should be al
lowed to plunge this country into a war, at
least, until our financial affairs are placed on
frmer basis than that now existing.
Such calamity is to be deprecated by every
lover Of humanity and by every true-bearted
American. And We are quite sure that the
belligerent sentiments Of these men who are
invisible in war and invincible in peace, and
obliyiOus Of widows tears or orphans wailings
so long as they can get fat contracts and coin
money out Of the blood Of the brave, meet with
no responsive echo in the hearts of the masses
If we are to possess this continent IN toto,
Why not await the inevitable current Of events,
as We have in the past? II is thus we have
acquired California and Alaska, and it does
not require much political foresight to see a
like result as it regards Cuba. its adjacent is
lands, and the much. coveted British possessions
on the North.

The Senate on the war-Path.

The following extract from the news sum
mary of the Baltimore Episcopal Methodist is
about as mastery an exhibit Of the deeds and
ideas Of this Government as it now is, as we
have seen in so few words anywhere After
giving the substance Of Senator Chambers res
olution respecting the Alabama claims, and
touching up Rev. Dr.. Newman's political ha-
rangues to the Almigbty-by courtesy called
Praysrs,-it says;
We are in great danger from that condition
which in the West they call the Slcell-bead-
Having fought war with inconceivable bung-
ling aud astounding loss Of life and money
having saved the formal union Of the country,
BY utterly destroying our form Of goTcEnmeni;
having established freedom in States BY reduc-
ing them % provinces having cOnfOrmed to
the progress Of ideas. BY constructing an EN-
pire after the general fashion ofthatofNebuchad-
nezzlr, who had a splendid array Of Southern
provinces, each governed by a military satrap,
and as well managed as they could be without
the political assistance Of negroes having vim
dicated religion and morality by animahzing
and secularizing the Church, breaking up the
foundations Of the family, the primal cell Struc-
ture Of the body polite, corrupting the Judi
ciary, making the democratic pinciple odious
in municipal, State and National exhibitions
having, in short, brought our whole system
Of government into such contempt among our
own people, that throughout the whole land,
the universal execration Of all presses aud par
ties is daily poured forth in undistinguishable
testimony Of adherence Of the incurable prof
legacy in high places-having accomplished
all this, VIC now think we can do what we
please with all other people who dwell on the
face Of the earth. But the truth is we are weak
for aggression, and if We should get into a war
even with Spain, the enormous expense Of such
war as we could fight would ruin US. Bond
holders may be assured that if we get Cuba OF
Canada either, they will pay for it.

The War as a PrOvidential Agency.

In letter published in the Atlanta ga
Christian Adrocate, Ex-Gov. Henry A. Wise
maintains that the war was Proyidential
Agency for the abolition of slavery-"a ua-
tional necessity, permitted by Divine Providene
to prevent I'm the sndl greater evils than the
war itself
He urges, as the legitimate consequences Of
the proyidential interpOsition, by which he as
sumes that the question has been settled, peace,
charity, liberation, brotherly and patriotic
kindness. He says:
No man. or set Of men, must dare TO take
any bolts Of UsRgeacce in their hands. God
often used the heather 70 punish His own
chosen people; but if they dared to do even
His will in a heathenish and urchristian way,
Jehovah never failed TO make then, too, feel
His wrath. Let the North remember that, and
that if the war was providential. then We all
were but mere instruments Of thedivine govern
ment, and should not attempt 10 play petty
providence in the place Of God. Ii we do we
viii curse ourselves and our country-we will
become petty tyrantS. Guided by a catholic
spirit Ike this, and looking to God all the time,
in every act and plan, We viii prevent the
white man from being enSlaved by the causes
which made the black man free we will pre-
vent the continuance Of the causes which scpa-
rated the Methodist Church rs the PRECURSORS
Of the attempted separation Of the whole coun-
try and we will cause the whole country 20
be stronger, and safer, and fIecr than IL ever
was or could be before"

Sprague and Abbott.


The controversy between Senator Abbott, Of
North Carolina, and Senator Sprague, of Rhode
Island, will not proceed 70 extremes. 1t was
all mistake-and Is now explained and set
tied Senator Abbott was represented as re-
gardiug the language used by Mr.. Sprague as
an insult which the people of North Carolina
would never forgive him for quietly accepting.
We lean scarcely suppose, says the Baltimore
San, the people of North Carolina felt the
smallest concern about the matter one way or
the other. If Mr. Abbott had been an old cit
izen of the State, aud elected under normal
condition Of affairs, it is possible that the peo-
pie Of North Carolina might have shared in
some degree the indignation experienced by
their representative in being made the subject
Of derogatory epithct, though, even then, we
arc not sure that they would have expected
bin TO get into dog-fght in order to prove
that he was no: puppy. But the people of
North Carolina, when not permitted TO have
public agents Of their own choosing, when
forced, by the practical working of the recon-
struction laws to be represented by strangers,
win materially feel no interest whatever about
these men in their personal relations
