The following from a journal recently established in Illinois under the editorship of one of Lincoln’s Assistant Secretaries of War, will servo to show how badly the Pres ident’s conduct is hurting the feelings of the Stevens politicians: Corro.ipnmlonoa of Dana’s Chicago llopublican. 'Washington*, Obt. 14.—Washington is it self again. The city looks as if Mr. Lincoln had never existed, and as if wo were still in io times of Pierce or Buchanan. Free State influence has again boon suddenly wiped out. Slavery politicians are oneo more in the as cendant. It is no use arguing at Washing ton about millions slain and millions wasted in the war, and about ether trifles of the kind. Tfue enough, the armies of the slave holders’ rebellion have vanquished’. But the fooling that culminated in the w’ar in as ram pant and pernicious as over. Any one who doubts this need only spend a few weeks at Willard's and this conviction will soon force itself upon his mi.id. The southerners are ns smart as ever, and avail themselves skill fully of the siesta of the free states. While tbo masses of the people are lulled into secu rity by the apparent restoration of peace, their old enemies kindle the flames of fresh convulsions. They do this with their wont ed ingenuity. They get pardoned Brat, co operate with the Democrats next, and look upon Andrew Johnson as exclusively their President, just as much ns over Pierce or Bucnanan was. It is the old story of these copperhead presidents all over again, with thnt that fatal difference that those who were, then foremost in their opposition to sham democracy, are now feeble and ex hausted. The country is as apathetic now as it was then—nay, more so, since even the auti-slavery men allow themselves to he humbugged by the trumpery hope of slaves emancipoted or allowed to vote independent ly by their masters. As far as pblitiots are concerned, as viewed from this city, the country resembles a huge lunatic asylum, the inmates of which nurse the allusion that the supremacy of the cx-rebels and their abbettors in the work has boon annihilated by the war and slavery abolished.

SPEECU OF BON- JEREMIAH S- BLACK,- Delivered/ (it Williamsport, Pa., Thursday, Sept . 2 SIh t 1865. In tho oponing.of his spceclq Judge Black cave an account of party politics bolero the organization which now calls itself llepubU can took its present name. At that time Democrats universally predicted, that if ever tho Abolitionists got into power, they would destroy the harmony among the States, and either cause ii permanent dissolution ol tho Union,'or else make a civil war necessary to prevent it ; both of which wo regarded as among th,o worst of national calamities. In that opinion the Whigs fully concurred, and it was expressed by Mr.'Clay, Mr. Webster, ; and other public men of that school, as strong ly as by anybody else’. The Abolitionists themselves did not prelend-to conceal'their antagonism to the, best interests of tho coun try, or their determination to break up its 1 tranquility. Christianity was to their schemes, and so was the Constitution. 'l’hcv denounced both. They habitually slan dered in the most brutal manner all men who stolid up fur the principles on which, the government was based. Washington-, ami the other founders of this republic, were spu ken of as knaves, and John Brown, a thiol, a murderer and a traitor, as soon as he made hie appearance, was adopted as their model of every virtue. No insult was too low for them to cast upon the fundamental law—no blasphemy too coarso to express their con tempt for those precepts of tho Bible winch required obedience to established authority. All this was hard to bear, and it was made harder still by the known- fact that they wore acting in concert with tho avowed enemies of American liberty and' law on tho other side of the Atlantic. Of course no considerable number of the American people entertained these sentiments. Tho vast, mass of thorn wore sincerely .attached to thoir political in stitutions. They believed their government to be the best that could be invented for a people in their circumstances, nnd were not only willing, but determined, to save it from subversion. Tho Abolitionists were.looked upon generally as a gang of conspirators against tho public peace—as moral monsters who acknowledged none of tho obligations which bind, man to his fellow man—as a set of criminals who came directly within Sir Michael Foster’s definition of legal malice: “having hearts regtrdless of social duty and fatally bent upon doing mischief.". For those reasons they were not only opposed, but detested and loathed. Nevertheless this nation was delivered op into their bands, nnd for four years they have been working their biuody will upon it. How did it hap pen that a small body of men so justly des pised by the masses of the people could got tho government into their hands ? Judge B. answered this question. It was partly caused by accidental division among th'o friends of the Union and the Constitution and the laws, but it was mainly brought abont by' fraud and false.' pretenses. The motive power of the Abolitionists was- not philanthropy, or or love for tho negro, but hatred for tho, white man of the South. In New England it was easy to got this malignant passion in full operation.— The Yankees had their reason for intense die- like not only for the people who liyod in the far South, bat also of those who had their homes in the Middle and Western States. In the first place, inost of them were originally members of the old Federal party, and how they hated the Democracy {which they call ed the Virginia school)' for driving them out into a long exile from office, may he under stood by any one who will read,the foul false hoods of their press and the still lies of their pulpit against Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and others. This was one grudge, but not the grudge’ that rankled most deeply. The embargo firs:, and afterwards the war of 18X2, touched their pfaokets and deprived them of the power to make largo at the expense of the natibnal honor. By this cause they were so mpeh exasperated that they en gaged, in a plot to dismember the Union, and would have brofcop it to pieces but for the battle of New Orleans and the ptraeo of Ghent. Again: they wanted a'great national bank, for certain reasons which affected their pecuniary interests ; and it tvas a Southern President who pronounced snob a corporation incompatible with the publid interests and ■ contrary to the Constitution. In later times they demanded a tariff, which should bo high enough to increase the profits of their facto ries’ two or three hundred per cent, beyond what they could make in an'open market.— The South lod in opposition to this system of high duties, the West was converted, the tar iff was reduced to a rovonu'o standard, and the Yankee was obliged to Content himself with lower prices. All this roused the nat ural malevolence of’ their hearts and prepar ed them for | abything which’ promised the gratification at once of hatred’ and rapacity. Judge B/ pupfiosed nobody .was simple I enough to bsllevc that thd' hhrd-heiiTtud cru el and selfish Breed of men who whipped Quaker women', tiling the baptists and refus ed all aid to; their suffering country when a foreign enemy had-.it by the throat, dbiild be started on a crusade of mere roman lie benev olence toward a body of strange negroes'.' But by appealing to their venality and their mafieo the Abolitionists’ got .them easi ly enough. Tho Now England States com ing over, that gave them a’ vote, which, in a presidential election closely contested be tween other parties, was a balance of power. iFhey oonld then go into the fi'eld'.and bid for Ithe politicians of the minority party. Hie first live Abolitionist Judge B-. over saw had told bint that this was their program-mo, and -that it waif certain of success, for the politi : oians sought nothing but place and patron age ; ahd therefore on offer to give them the jobs, contracts ahd 1 offices of the Federal Gov jornmbnt, woiild maltb them profess abolition principles' whether they? believed them or not. j ~ By, such means tbb small'ana unprincipled ;band who cursed the Constitution 1 and blas phemed Christianity—habitually slandered the besf'men-of the country—and sung hymns of praise to the memory of a common thief —became the great 1 power of thie’nation, and -they have' been preying upon it for four ;years past. They came into power, and civil war, an archy, spoliation and 1 oabib along with them, ns nll,wiso’nihri' Had predicted 1 would. Nobody doubts that if the Democrats had succeeded in electing either of their can didates in 1860, the career of the country . would’ still have been onward arid’ upward, as it was’ for sovonty-fonr years before. It is equally undeniable that if the Aholitibriists, or any similar party had got possession of the government thirty or forty years oaHior, publie" ruin, would have boon the conse quence. But tbif'w’sr ’ has come and’ gone, and left behind- it certain remits, besides bhe omanoi pationi of the Soutlern negroes’. We have contracted a debt of four thoufmtid millions of dollars, arid'we' Ktv'ellost half a million of orir best men killed- and crippled. Upon the Southern half of our enuhtry the effbots have ibeen infinitely more disastrous'. They have been totally out to pieces—thilFlbWhs Burnt, . their fields ravaged—their whole oouhtry covered with blooij and ashes. A" revolution ■has boon wrought among them 4 such' as 1 no poopio ever saw before—a revolution that has .'broken up tbit whole framework 1 of society— which- is felt in every oityl itr every town, and on every farm—by men, Women and children—by all’ classes and colors—for the blacks have suffered ebon more than the whites—a million of the former having per isfiej in the horrible jJrbCOsß.' The altered condition of things imposes new duties and raises nOw questions. Of course wb loolc to tbo general wblfaro and futuio poaco of tUo whole oouhtry. Wo must 1 itanUo our reunion with’ tho South ns Useful to ourselves as wo can consistently with jus ticotObhem. How this shall -is a point to which tho public attention is s just now very strongly drawn, Tho Democra cy and tho Abolitionists have taken up their several positions and have defined them un- mistakably,- , Democrats do not see how they can render any positive or material aid to tho Southern poamo, To tho question what help shall bo wo answer, none; tlioy must help themselves ; they must rehabilitate thou own society, recognize their own industry, and regenerate their own country, for they alone can do it. • And they cannot do it unless they hove a government of law, which will protect life, liberty and property, while they are about it. What sort of a government shall they have ?• Can. there ho two answers to this in •torrdgatory ? Not from, the lips of a Demo crat. /Wo deal only in a government of one kind, and that is the old. Constitution, which you have all scon with tho name of George Washington-signed at tho foot of it. We would give them- this because vve arc sworn to administer norther to any commu nity within our jurisdiction, or under our power, and any policy nob sanctioned by it must have pnrj.nry for its comer stone. Be- i ;sides, wc supposed that the restoration of "tliia Constitution and tho laws passed in pur suance of it to their just supremacy through out the whole country was the object of tho war, and wo know it to bo the only legitimate object for which such a war could have been Waged. If that bo not tho result of tho war, then it is a most ignominious failure; It is something worse than a failure ; it is the must stupendous swindle that ever was per petrated* The Abolitionists themselves, when.they called on. the people for bloo'dpnd money to prosecute tho war, declared that its purpose was to vindicate.tho Constitution and aws and compel obedience to.,them. Wo wore told this in every form, official, and un official —in the: proclamation 6f the President when the first call was made for seventy-five thousand rften—in solemn- desolations passed through Congress—in dispatches and orders from the departments—rand in one of the res olutions passed at'Baltimore, when Mr. Ifia coln was nominated the last time; it was de clared that tho war was to restore the para mount authority of the Constitution in tho Southern States. If theyrnow say that the success acquired in this way, is to be used for other purposes, and the Constitution shall . not be restored, they confess that they have obtained four thousand millions of dollars, and a half million of lives, upon false; pre , tenses. If any individual would get five dol lars from his neighbor upon pretenses equal ly false, nothing but a perversion of law and justice could save him from condign punish ment as a criminal. To deny the paramount au ; thority of tho Constitution now, in tbtf face of those facts, is to break the.-faith rfM'oh i holds the moral world together. Our theory is very simple. We always averted, (and so k did our opponents for the matter or that,) that the ordinances of secession were mere nullitioß—that the States were, legally, in the Onion—that the rebellion consisted in tho dutncin'mntion of individuals to resist the execution of the Federal laws—that our war was against those individuals and could not bo levied against the States as States, with out treating them as a foreign power,- and th s recognizing the constitutional right of secession, and if we ooknowlodgod that right, we took from under our foot the only ground wo could stand on in making any war at all. Tho Cfone'ritl Government in executing its laws, nets upon individuals fust as a Stato Government does. In suppressing an insur rection-, the one does not make war upon a county, nor tho other upon a State-. In these views of the universal Democracy I am glad to say that the President of tho United States does most heartily concur, — When I givo you this assurance you ore not Tounderstand-me-as-speakmg-fromTmnoror report, or common fame—l know whereof I 'affirm. If that distinguished gentleman were standing Kero he would express the same opinions, only in language, fartsoro forcible, (Vigorous and clear, lie has not given up one inch of thoTiigh'ground ho took whon ho was ,8 Senator, before tho war broke ont. It may reasonably bo qxpcotiid; aWb, that a very •largo milirbbr of tfro men Who have hereto- Tore called themselves “ Republicans” will .find themselves with us, since they cannot act against us without grossly violating the ■faith which' they have Often pledged. But the Abolition painty p-tdper is against ua'as a Unit. The miui who deads' tfiom in 'Cdn'gr'jSa, and out of doors, as ho has al- VaysTecf whatever party ho belonged to, ex presses his will, and- they imlst obey bis dic tation*. n’o propounded his doctrine, tho other day, in a State convention, and not a man was found to resist him ; ho announced it elsdwhdye; ahd it was received by his ful- Iwers with universal applause.; it has been .echoed bank already by his disciples in Mas sachusetts,. The utterances of. Mr,Stevens are tho deliverances'of Ms party. Let us see ■ what they pt-Oposdl-' There oah bo'no doubt that their interests as mcte.paa-tiaanS are' wholly adverse to the | peace of the country.- Their prosperity-as a ■political organization' hhs always depended, and does now depend! dfa' the amount cf ex asperation-' ahd , }l! -1 h1066a which' they can keep ,up between the sections.- They know and tlidjf expressly admit that tlib otatire harmony and Union of tho States' do nthttqr on what terms it might bd'abcoraplittied, vfoutd bo fa tal to their ascendency. They would meet any calamity rather than face the horrors of perfect peace; because in time of perfect peace they could not exist ns’ a party any moro Ih-ib- tttu fhtlfctidns of animal life could go ott.ubdoi- and exhausted receiver.— They are, therefore, very sincere and devout when they pray God that tho Union may not be restored,/and.now, since slavery is’abol ished', they dVd a*B'dhcfilatrrOuß as over in find ing other dausds of qdarrel. Tloy propose toll did .the Southern States in absolute bondage. They would not gov ern thorn art all, for gqvern'ment implies- law of some kind! The Southern- people are to bo disposed of withoutTils’slightest reference to the Constitution, or to a-hy law. State or national. They must have no voice in- tho regulation of their fedsral duties, or in the administration of their local affairs. When thoy laid down their arms it is to be deemed and taken that they submitted not to the Go vertimeht of tho United States, that is to tho (Jdnetitiilion - a-hd laws, Ini-t to the iriferd .will of the' dbiiiiiiiint party in the north. They shall have hb representation in Congress and no vote for President;- They are not only to be denied all political privileges, but their natural right to life and property, vffttchthe Declaration of Independence declares to’be ihalidhnblo, will also bo taken from them.'— With regard to life, Mr Stevens says ho has not yet made up his mind how many are to did! but when he dads camo to a conclusion on that subject we may ex'peot tho slaughter to begin. What iorrifftf wfill’take wo are not told, except' ttihlt tho victims are not to have a judicial trial ;That is seoutetf ad'a mere ab surdity.- Thoso who are; spared will be men dblflnts of mercy, and those who are killed bocouaO they have no right tp’ their lives.-- As to the righp of property that ,is oloari- en tirely out of tho question-, and is’not acknow ledged for a" moment. Tho Chancellor of thoir Exchequer has actually sat down and calculated how much of thoir lands-aud goods ho will take-, and what tho value of thonvwill bo. Ho ciphers it up-at throe thousand mil lions of dollars ! All this property is to be ta ken without any reference to the personal guilt or innocence of the individual owners. That ispalpable on tho- face of the proposi tion itself.- A'man who owns' two hundred acres of land, dr has personal’ property worth ton thousand dollars, shall b'o stripped of hia all, but his neighbor, who'has loss’, may keep' what ho has, and m'ay' b’o' guilty, and 'the oilier iuuooont, dr b’otll uiay bo guilty, or both innocents but that is not the quoation ! tho value of thoir respective « 9 fttoa . 18 ‘ lO onlv inquiry that is mode. Why this uis tinction V I dodafß I don’t know, unless' it bo that ono is wortli' fobbing and the othene not. Women and children, Mr-Stevens says;- may ho driven into cxllik Aye! That they may, and robbed in the bargain. An orphan six months old, if it comes within this rule, will not bo spared—they moy fake the clothes off its little body, and tho spoon itis led with. Wby ? Not boc.iuse tho child hns committcu any sin, but because it happens to bo tho lo cal heir to property of such value that the Abolitionists cannot forego the temptation to appropriate it. Suppose a widdow to become | tho object of their delicate attentions. Ihey do not inquire into her history, even so lar as to ascertain what her “> sympathies wore during tho war. But tacy make an invonto* ry of her furniture, value of her live stock, count'her spoons, examine her dresses, and • if their value can to figured’up to ten thou sand dollars, they cease to be* hers by virtue of Abolition arithmetic. Or they scud, a,sur veyor out, with compass and chain, to meas ure tier land, and if, by any moans, he can. run in 1 two- hundred acres, the investigation is ended. 9ho may take her children and go into exile, if she can manage-to travel with out money ; if not she can starve- Of course I do not protend to find any words in tho Knglish language which will characterize the morality ot this measure. It is simply a proposal to organize and' maintain a hand of men .to violate tho sixth command m plunder a defenceless people in a time of profound peace under the patronage of the Federal Government. When yon rec ollect by wfcortf and bow this proposition is made, it becomes a melancholy evidence ot the extent to which p, people can be demoral ized by civil war. It is advocated by public men wfro.aro seeking the favoy of tbp people, and paraded as a fundamental .article in the creed of a political party. No doirbtj they think they can gain popularity and wia vo ters by it. If they do, they mfOst teliove the public morals to be thoroughly ddbatfehed. This comes of making a saint offt* or John Brown. President' , Johnsoff; in a speech , which ho miido in I 860; skid in aubsfnhce (I, do not profess to give nifl : wordai)* that the \ character of aJ pSopluihiglit Be Jcdrncd, from i tho gods they adoredj the Abblitioojsta wor- I shipped a thief, fttyf the 1 woiild, of necessity, be the jmitalors. of nis moral qaalitles. They have got on mpro rapidly than- tho President supposed they would. — Brown concealed his designs or cautiously whisperei them into the ears of his accom- but bis present disciples unhesitat ingly avow, their intention to imitate him on a scale so grand that his thefts seem like mere petty larceny by comparison Tho legal theory on which their scheme is based is as absurdly false as the schema it self is indecent and shameless. do not stultify themsolvos by asserting that they ’find qny warrant for it in the Constitution. Nor do they get it in war power; for that power, according to' their own loose defini tion of it, is grounded in military necessity ana must cease of course when the war cens es. But they allege that the Southern States wont legally out of tho Onion, have been out over since, are out now, and must stay out notwithstanding all that ws’s expended in trying to keep them in. • They are conquered aliens. The attitude of the Northern and Southern States toward ono another is- in their view no other than that of two separate countries, between whom there ’has been a war ; tho more powerful having imaged tho weaker ond beaten its defenders, How ad mit all this to be true, does it follow, as they say it does, that tho inhabitants of the’ con quered territor/have 1 lost all their rights of private" pfbptety ? may they he plahdored after, the war is over 7 Ivo, bV ’tlreri-] laW of nature, by the law of nations, by the phblic law of tho world, the private property of tho conquered people is as sacred ns it wak ho ’foroT theiawa tliat ed ; and whosoever steals it commits precise -1 ly the same crime that ho would be guilty of if no war had never been made. It id the first duty of tho conquering party to provide for tho qcourity of this right, and it is tho universal practice of all civilized and .Chris tian countries to do so ; you cannot .find an example on the contrary without going hack to the depths of barbarism. No nation can now make war upon' another, snbtluS’ it, and after it is disarmed and powerless, deliver the inhabitants up to be sacked and pill.-igod without bringing’ upon tho head of the offen der the execrations of tho whole earth. Even in' time of open and flagrant Par, private properly is hol'd to'he sacred. One belligerent party may take the picTjlw propl - of the other, to cripple the commerce of an enemy private property may also, bo ta ken no a,lawful prize, if found oil the high i seas. Blit no such prizes can be made on land, the goods or lands of the people fonhd i within tho invaded territory are not to be ta ken for the mere purpose of gate. This role is often violated on' one excuse'' or* abutlrar, suoh as tho necessity of taking supplies, the difficulty of troops’, or the fight of I retaliation’. Bart, the very fact that apologies are ntiide', proves-what the sense of the World is oonoering the rule. . If it he trffh that pri vate property cannot he taken-vtfhen' war is raging, it would surely ba'a'most unpafdbn able atrocity to take'il affcefwafdfe There are hot two instances in modemhla tory whore a government has in time of war deliberately ordered the destruction of cap ture of private property thron’ghout a lafge district, one was the ordei* given by Louvoia, the French Minister tinder Louie X-IV.,'to devastate thd Palatinate; the other was the ease of odr own government, when* General SheridanVab’directed to make the, valley of the Shenandoah-' a - d'esert waste!' The excuse -given- for both-’ these acts was that the' gov ‘ernnvehta comhaitting them gained thereby certain militafy advantages -.which otherwise they cpuld not have had. 1 do' not bolraVo it will he' accepted by either God or man, though it rriky bp some -palliation of thVhbr riblp 1 cruelty inflicted’, Blit the Abolitionists propbse to issue their .ordtewithbut ic'miljta ry reason ofjjty kind, in a time of profound 'peace, to organize a regular system of pillage over a country nearly ns large ns all Europe. If it were carried out ns'proposed, the black est national cpiinc that; history yet re corded' would l_polc beside this one Tike afa. not of whito-rohed" innocence; Bht apaft front' all moral 1 considerations, what does if promise as a more matter of pol icy ? What will we gain by it in' money to compensate for the loss of national charac ter? The amount to be plundered is three thousand million of dollars. To maintain tho necessary number of agents' and an ar raj largo enough to back them would- prob ably dost about one'thousand millions pef annate Mf, Stevehg dbes’nbfr propbso- to re'- duoe the public expenses below five hundred millions. Even according to his own l ac count tho sum received will ho spent in l six years. Bht the expenses would'really be twice as groat, and the returns of plunder would bo little of' nbthlngi You l can easily see hhw ohoating-would l be' done-' both l ways. Tho property of the Southern people would not be handed ov'ci 1 to'thb Treasury in> kind. Tho lahds and’ hof-aOs and- cattle and other goods must bo sold and converted into money or greenbacks'.- What man is silly enough to heliovn that this would bo honestly done ? Only two days ago a oaso oarao to my knowl cflgo'iu which a 1 plantation in Louisiana had been sold on account of tho United States for nine thousand' dollars ;' it was known to be worth throe hundred and fifty thousand' as well as one’dollar is worth another. AbCut two-and o-h'alf per cent. of its value went' to the- public use and the balance iiltb the pockets of the agents who mfinagatfthb'affinir. port'all know how an Abolition general took sixty thousahd' dollars in gold: and protended that he had taken it for the 11 nitod States— hut tho Treasury noyor saw ..a cent of it.~ That same Genfftal is- a Violent and supporter of Mr't Stevens,- plan and w t probably bo employed in carrying it out could not enumerate; and nonaot ns coni ooivo tho ton thousand devices that wouli employed to put thiff property into tho . session of private parties, vffithout cos* them. Who would bid for it? Nut Sut ern men; for they are to be impoverished tOrly, and .even if they could; eimnmiml moans of purchasing back their own ) iri , ty, they could not hold it, for tin,so wli u t it the first time might take it again, ■ greody speculators would Hook there liVo tores and make thomsolves a close eurg tion. If the agents of the government « as honest as Aristides, they could nut g( market for their wares. But would nut agents send home the watches, jowt paintings, pianos, and other .portable proi ty without accounting for it ? And w, they not be in partnership .vith the.hidi nnd'io combination with.one another tc d.uoi) the price of everything' that was j ( Woulj not general ■ oorruptionmmhdislit ty bo tho necessary outgrowth of the p, pie which lies at the foundation of'ttic w) I measure? When one party employs' «n ; er to rob a third one, bow cun tho agen expected to understand tho moral dilliu ,hetween keeping tho proceeds himself handing them.over to his principal? T, is no differonoo. ’W-heo the property is taken from, the true owner, one riian lu good a right twit as another. Of the threo thousand millions wliipli Stevens proposes to- tuke t nobody but a ploton would expoot to soe five per cent, i into the Treasury. In a single year, am. ost, and fair and equal-system of tiiJufe would get twice that amount out of n,,: Southern States, and tho goose.
