i "In one ease," says Mr. Treaorer-G mcra!
j Spinner, "all his salary so remained undrawn
! without interest for eleven months."
Upon this, :i new and interesting question
| arises. If the President- never draws his . ala
-1 ry, does he never pay his debts? It is under-
I -too l tbat th<' salary of the President is paid
' to bini tiiat he may defray his iiuosehold expen
ses at Washington ; and it would e- riaiiily not
' appear that, at the present cost y'!r i g in the
cajwtaJ. the president id -aiary aflords much
margin for economy to a thief magistrate
maintaining the respectabilities of his olli.e.
Yet Mr. Treasurer General Spiuner goes mn
ro say that when Mr. Lincoln docs, alter much
pressure, consent to draw Ins salary. l- It
••is mostly invested in otocks of the United
"States, purchased :' current . atvs by his i'riend-.
"for hitu."
How, then, wc rvp< it, do s the President

The whole framework of American institu-j
lions, which in so short a time had Won the ml- j
miration of the world, and towi.i h we were in- j
debted for such an unparalleled < arcer of pros- '
js'-ri;v iitnl happiness, was formed upm this j
. prin ■ ijilc. All our present trouble,' sprang i
from a 1 pa: lure froiu tliis principle, tt.au a ;
; violation of this osaenii 'aw of on* political 1
organization.

It > needless here to state that by "piuple," i
and ''governed," in this anuumaation, is meant i
commiiiitties and bodies ol anen capable of or- -
ganiziiig and iuaiutai:>iug a government, not in- 1
dividual members ol' society. The consent of <
the governed refers to the will of the mass of s
the community or Stat • in its organized form, e
and expressed through its legitimate an I prop- i
erly constituted organs. It was upon this prin
ciple the Colonists stood justified before the t
world in effecting their separation from the i
mother country, ft was upon this principle \
that the original thirteen eo-cqual and eo-sov- i
ereign States formed tlie Kederal compact of '1
the old Union in 1787. It io upon the name f
piiuiipu that tic co-equal utid co-sorerptgu t

The action of the Chicago Convention, so
j far as its platform of principle's goes, present?,
<a I have said on another occasion, a ray oi'
| light, which, under Providence, may prove the
j dawn of the day to this long ami cheerless
night; the first ray of light I have seen from
the North since the war began. This cheers
the heart, and towards it I could almost ex
claim : "Mail, holy Light, offspring of Heaven,
first boru of the eternal, co-eternal beam. May
I ox press thee unblamed, since God is light."
Indeed, I could Lave quite so exclaimed, but
for the sad refaction that whether it shall bring
hea.Htg iu its beam-, or be Lost in a dark and
oiuinou.-. eclipse ere its good work be done, de
-1 [rends so much upon the action of others who
I may not regard it and view it as I do. So at
! best it is but a ray, a small and tremulous ray,
enough only to gladden the heart and* quicken
the hope.
The prominent and, leading idea of that Con
vention seems to have been a desire to reach a
peaceful adjustment of our present difficulties
and strife, through the medium of a Conven
tion of the States. -They propose to suspend
hostilities, to see what can be done, il anything,
jby negotiation of some sort, 'ibis is one step
;in tiro ugh: direction. To such a Convention
jof th Slates I should have no objection, as a
: peaceful conference and interchange ol views
; ween equal and Rovctcign Rowers, just" as
' the Convention oi 1787 was . ailed and asscm
j bled.

Great as arc the odds we are struggling
against, they arc not greater than those against
which they successfully struggled. In point of !
reverses our condition i- not to be compared to ;
tiicirs Should Mobile, Savannah, Charleston.
Augusta, Macon, .Montgomery, and even Re
tersburg aud Richmond fall, our condition
would not then be worse or less hopeful than
theirs was in the darkest hour that rested on
their fortunes.
Willi wisdom on the part of those who con-j
trol our destiny in the cabinet and in the field, i
in husbanding and properly wielding our re- j
sources at tlieir command, and in securing the j
hearts and affections of the people in the. great '
cause of right and liberty for-which we are;
struggling, we could suffer all the3e losses and j
calamities, and greater even, and still triumph i
in tlie end.
At present, however, I do not see, as I sta- j
ted in tlie outset, that you or I, or any number !
ot persons in our position, can do anything to- ;
wards inaugurating any new movement look
ing to a p aeeful solution of the present strife.
The war on our part is fairly and entirely <le- ;
tensive i.. its character. How long it will con
tinue to be thus vvi k jdty an 1 mercilessly wag
el against us depends i.p-m the people of the (
Nor'h.
Georgia, cur own rte to whom we owe, i
nllegian e, lias with great unanimity proclaimed
the principle* upon which a just and permanent |
pi• nee ought to be sought and obtained. The i
Congress of the Confederate States haa foliovv- j
od with an indorsement of these principles*.— ,
All you and I, and others in our position, there- i
fore, can do on that line at this time, is to sus
tain the movement altvfcly inaugurated, and to '
the utmost of our ability, to hold up these prin
doles as the surest hop." of restoring : tumriess
to the public mind of tmi Nurtii, a.-, tiio brazen |
