by pronouncing Mr. John. Tart "damnable"
traitor, or feel. We Mlle no milder term
for such men. IThher they know them
selves to be rank traitors or impostors, or
they are lunatics. To assail State Sovre:-
°Tut y as "a damnable heresy," is to direct
a blow at the very heart of both the State
and Federal Governments. The Federal
Government is based upon the sovereignty
of the States. "Destroy the our, and tip,
other falls. Destroy State bOl ereignty, and
the authority of lid Federal Government
vanishes like a shadditl. There is but one
theory on which this Crusade upon the doe
triue of State sovereignty can be explained ;
and that is, the Serterminal ion of the party
in power to overtltrow the State Govt.) n

The ingenuity and craft, end we might add.

whole style ot public, debate is designed to
gradually blind, and to lead the people away
from the ftrudanventarminciples of the gov

Federal Government is the dependent

Ints is to confer 1711 1- Mr. Lincoln,-or such
persons as he might designate, upon the
sulueut of pence. Thole men are well
known as conser — atives, end In favor of
reconstruction. Their selection showed a
sincere desire, on the Pan of the Southern
.Lief, for the restoration, of peace. On this'
point we find General Grunt, in iliAtlhtrolull
to the secretary of Nur, dated February 1,
1865, Using the following language:
"Now that the interview between Major
Eckert, under 1:3 written instructions, and
Sir. Stetthetis and party hos. ended. I will
state confidentially, but not officially, to
become entailer of record, that I am con
vinced upon ronvers'atious with Messrs.
Stephens and Hunter ,/ that their' intentiors
are good and their desire sincere to restore
peace anti (,7nion."
3.tr. Linco:,q says that 'lite Sauthertvcorn
miesieue.s did not soy whether [Lei wtul I
or Would not consent to reunion, kti
"seemed to desire the postponement of that .
question, and the adoption of some otter
teurec first, which as sent , ' of limn seemed
to argue, might, or might notelettd to re
union." Secretary Seward, in his despatch
to Minister Adam?, gases the following
statement concerntug the prepoeitioaof the
Suit herb Commissioner&
' , What tha insurgent party seemed chiefly
to favor was a postpotientent of the question
of separation upott which the war . was
waged and a mutual direction of the efforts
of the government as well as those rf the
insurgents to sonic extraneous policy or
scheme for a petition, during which passions
might be expected to subside and the armies
be reduoed. and Grath &u intercourse be-
tween ilie feeple of both ructions bwre
named. It was suggested by them that
through such postponement lire might now
have immediate penes, with some, not vary
certain prospect of an ultimate satisfactory
adjustment of political relation between the
goiernment and the titettes. section or peo
ple new engaged is con2lot with it."
Now, hero we have' G,neral Grant, Mr.
Lincoln'and Mtt. §ewnril ns witnesses that
the - Southern commissioners did nit insist
upon separation as the only condition of
psaco. General Grunt say she is "convinced
that their intentions were good and their
desire sincere to restore peace, And Union."
Mr. Lincoln is constrained to say that they -
favored a policy which they "seemed to
agree" might lead to reunion, and fAlt.
Seward describes that policy to be a poet:
pooeinent of the questiou of seperation, and
a motnal direction of the enema of both
ifarti2s to some extraneous scheme for. •
'morn, dining which passions might be ex
pected to littlish. the armies be reduced,
and tradd , and _ inlet course between the
peopsff cf both ..sections be resumed. This
would'have been an effee-tu.al restoration of
the Union. The bad blood between the two
sectitts cooled, the armies disbanded, the ,
ligaments of trade,, the strongest ties of
nations, binding the people together, there
could no longer be any resistance to
authority of the Federal Constitution, or to
the laws made in pursuance thereof. This
would be the restoration of the Union—.
nothing more, nothing less. But Mr. Lin
coln and Mr. Seward attclearly not satiated
TO a simple restoration of the thitoo l
Alternative they presented to the Southern
commissioners was uncondi t len tl s ubtuisaiou
to the Federal Authority on the part of the
people of the Sown,' the breaking up of
their social system and the s*rxender of the
hulk of their property, or war even unto
extermination. In proof of a6ii we eite the
propositions which Mr. Lincoln 4lecilaree in
his account of the Conference, were stated
iusieted upon by himself and Mr. Sew
ard. They istnjo-fellows
"First—The reiteration of the National
