letter of John Henry Hopkins, Bishop of

forth very nbly the Bible view of slavery,
I have also read, with much surpriro, your
protest against said If tier, published in the
Public Ledger of the 20 1 ti inst. After read
"6 i"uirBi, ma ursb iupjuon isHKta
tnyself was the said letter having been

..... 1 . '
uiy uiuicsi juugineni tuai your protest is
not only no answer to said letter, but
slates conclusions which cannot possibly
...
be drawn from anything stated by Bishop
Hopkins therein. You slate that he at
tempts " to apologize for slavery in the
abstract." You further state that his
letter is " an" effort to sustain on Bible
principles, the States in rebellion against
the Government in the w'.cked attempt to
establish by force of arms a tyranny under
the name of a Republic, whose corner-stone
shall be perpetual bondage of the African."
With full knowledge that Bishop Hop
kins letter was written prior to the break
ing out ol the war, and without any refer
ence thereto, how can you, with any sin
cerity, say that he attempted " to sustain,
00 Bible principle., the Sta'.es now in re
bellion 1 "
I deem it my solemn duly to bring out
this misrepresentation into tho full light
of day, so thai every man may read and
not be deceived.

MEADE & ROSECRANS' REPULSES
Deumcratic Defeats.Thelr Causes.
The point decided by tho late elections
is, that, the war ici'l be protrae'ed until after
the. end of the presidential canvass. The
me:insby which these elections have Leer,
carried furnish bolh a motive and a reason
for dilatory military policy. The war cry
having been found by trial to be the most
efficient electioneering engine the admin
istration can u ie, they have a poli'ieal in
terest in the continuance of the war, quite
dbtitict from the general interest, of the
country, which requires that the rebel
armies shall be destroyed and the lcval
Slates relieved of their heavy burden? at
the eailiesl possible date. The country
lias no interest that the war slio.ihl con
tinue for a single day beyond the shortest
peried within which it is possiblo to sub
due the rebellion ; but every interest to
the contrary. The Republican party, on
the other hind, has no bv at stake than
its own existence in the continuance of
the war. so lonn ns a war wv in ili. m.i

Shall we bo told that their high sense of
honor and duty forbids them to weigh

of the country ? We can in reply only
appeal to indisputable facts. Thai the ad

which tend to piolong tho war, is true
enough ; but, umortunutely, a question
of right is not in this rase identical with
a question of fuel. We ask no reader to

Wo presume all sorts of tales will be in
vented lo show that Gen. Meade's retreat
was purely voluntary, and made for strat
egic reasons. Bui no reason, strntegio or
other, eun be given for Gen. Meade's r
treat which is not a reproach lo the ad
ministration. A hurried relreal of fifty
or sixty mile proves that he was not
strong enough, or did not think bimaoif
strong enough to fight the enemy in iho
region into which lie had advanced. If
ho w3 not strong enough originally, why
was he permitted to do so foolish a thin";
as to odvunce? If he waa strong enough
before bis army whs depleted to carry tha
Pennsylvania election for the K-jpublicani,
military advantages have been fcaenficed
for party objects. If he was originally 100
weak to fight in so advanced a position
and with such long lines to defend, then
so much greater is the crinio of weaken
ing him still further, and exposing hi
safety, lo accomplish a party purpose.
If Meade could nol fight Lee on tno Hup.
idan, and if thero is no strong military
position in the whole intervening distance
from the P.npidnn to Bui! Run where h9
dared to give battle, what did be advance
to the Hapidan for? Why was he allowed
lo increase the cost of maintaining his
army by lengthening the distance from
his supplies, and guarding long lines of
communication in tho enemy's country,
if, without lighting, he was to hurry bak
-.0 1110 neighborhood ol Washington and
there Hand on the defensive? He could
have hovered around Washington and
have kept ou the defensive without incur
ring all this expense, and without the loss
of prestige involved in fifty orixty mile
hurried retreat, under vigorous pursuit,
by the enemy.
Tho simple truth, obvious to the whole
country, is, thai Meade maintained hi
advanced position until the administra
tion weakened bis army to carry a State
election, and thai he was then compelled
to fly before a pursuing foe.
We could, if necessary, demonslra'
uith equal clearness that the defeat of
Rosecviins and his present critical position
are the direct consequences of using sol
diers by the administration for accom
plishing party objects. Tho attempt to
put Governor Seymour in a lalse position,
as a meansjaf prejudicing the country
against the Democratic party, can-ted
forty-five regiments (this is Senator Wil
son' statement of tho number.) to bo sent

him from disastrous defeat. The U'o or
three thousand soldiers tho draft nrodu.

enough to justify the administration ia
weakening our two inosl important ar
mies, endangering their saffcty, and ren
dering the fall campaigns in the Wit

draft could have stood still fur a whilo
here, as well as in a dozen other SiaiM.
But political cons iderai ions r : e vailed, a.. I
Ihe administration has caused important
campaigns to miscarry that it might cm y
elections. The season of deop niu.l, which
will postpone active operations for tho
winter, is close upon us; and r.ext s im
mer the administration will still have a
great war npou its hands, as an engine for
electing a Republican President.
