' Mr. Chairman, t iterfre tfcir morning to rahmU.n fbw remarka for the consideration ofthe House andttiisoouo try. It lenotmy purpose.to dtoeuwqurotions pertalnlngto the army airsedy.frrthe if jaditii I am, sir, your obedient servant, WILLIAM H. SEWARD. While Mr. Seward was Issuing this order for a general jail delivery of the negroes, be was also sending, under a usurpation of power, and in violation of the laws and the Constitution, hundreds of white men and women to fill the cells of the prisons in this District and throughout the loyal States. Against many of these white men and white women thus incarcerated by this despotic Secretary of State, no charge has ever beon made; they are imprisoned without the form or authority of law, and thus the per sonal liberty of the Caocarian is ruthlessly violated while the African is most tenderly and carefully guarded, even to the nullification of State enactments and the national statntes. Let a rumor become entrant that a negro has been deprived of personal liberty—either in this District or anywhere elre—and there are dozens of.Bepnblican members upon this floor striving to obtain the attention of the Honse while they may offer resolutions inquiring by whom, when, and where, these objects of their undi vided affections may have been arrested. But never yet has any of those philanthropic gentlemen made any in quiry for the law or the authority under which white American citizens have been kidnapped by the State De partment, dragged from their homes, and left to pfne and die, perchance, in some of the many bastlles which this Administration has established. It is well known, sir, that if any white citizen, perhaps a father or brother, desires to visit a relative or acquain tance In the military' service of this Government, that be is obliged to secure n “pass” from some competent au thority ; and to obtain tbis. he ia required upon his honor to declare .Lis loyalty and fidelity to this Government. Bat the negro goes and comes within the lines of onr Army, whether bis destination be towards or from the enemy; the color of the black man is bis passport, is received as equivalent to the pledge of honor and of loyalty upon the part of a white person. In this District you have abolished slavery. Yon have abolished it by compensation, by adding $1,000,000 to the national debt, and & tax of $73,000 to be paid annnally, as interest upon tbis sum by taxes imposed upon the laboring white people of these States. Not satisfied with doing this much for your especial favorite, you extend the freedom of this city and the hospitality of the government to all the runaway negroes in the country who choose to visit the District of Colombia. Yon issue rations to them day after day, and week after week, rations which must be paid for through the Sweat and toil of tax ridden white men. You are thns snppcrtiug in indolencebundredsopoo hun dreds of black men. How many and at what cost lam unable'to state, because when a resolution, asking for this information, was Introduced by the honorable gentle man from Ohio, (Mr. Cox) It was Immediately tabled by the Bepnblican majority upon tbo other side of this House. Those gentlemen dare not let tbis information go to the country; they shriDk from tho expbsure which a truthful reply to such inquiry would make. The resolution of Mr. Cox also asked for the numbtr of negroes employed as teamsters in the Army, and at what wages; but tbis was equally objectionable, for It would have illustrated the fact that negroes by tbe hundred are receiving better pay as drivers than our own white sons and brothers are for periling tbeir lives as soldiers in the defense of the Union and tbe Constitution. Having been thus deprived of obtaining official informa tion upon these questions, I am obliged to gather my statistics from ench sources as I can. I shall make no statement that I have not received from respectable aDd responsible parties, and none which I do not conceive to be rather under than over the true estimate. The Government is to-day issuing rations to about two thousand Degrees in this District alone, that cost over twenty cents per ration—s4oo per day, in violation of law, Is being paid for tbis purpose.- Tbe Government is hiriog in tbe District tevcral hundred negroes, some as teamsters and scuio for other purposes, to the exclusion of white laborers. IbouFacds of whom together-with their wives and children, in our large cities are suffering for the want of employment. I speak advisedly wbenl s\ythattheße publicsn party are already paying, of tax gathered money, in this District alone, over three hundred thousand dollars per annum to buy, clothe, feed, and exalt the African race. Thns for the negro yon can expend more in a Bingle year in the District of Columbia than you appropriate for the Government and protection of all the people in all the organized Territories of the United Stateß. Tho negro is made superior, in yonr legislation, to the pioneer white men that settle the great West, and, amid hardships and dangers, lay tho foundations of now commonwealths; the hardiest and noblest men of our common country. So the people are taxed yearly more for tho benefit of tho black race in this District alone than it coets to main tain the bnrdens of State governments in either lowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Maine. New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Dela ware or Maryland; But it is not in this District alone that you require the people to pay tribute to the idol of your affections. Wherever you find our army, with one or two honorable exceptions, yon will find that hundreds of rations are beiDg issued dally to unemployed negroes who rendezvous in and about tbe camps;' wherever the Army is they are being employed in various capacities at good wages, and to the utter exclusion of white labor that now languishes in irk some idleness throughout the country. I state, therefore, • and I think truthfully, that the Government is already paytog $lOO,OOO per day for the support and employment of negroes—paying it, too, rnt of money raised through the toil, deprivations, and taxation of onr own kith and kin. In my district, Mr. Chairman, my constituents are sell ing corn at eight cents per bushel In order to Bupport their familicji and maintain the honor and integrity of onr Gov ernment. Shall money thns raised and-for such & purpose be diverted to the entertainment of tbe African ? Will my people, will the people anywhere, endorse the party and the Administration that thns seeks the elevation of tbe negro even at the cost of ruin to tbeir own race? One might suppose that your ardor in the care and pro tection of the negro would atop and cool here; bnt no, yon go still farther. Having made him yonr equal as a civil ian, you now seek to place him on the same level with American sailors and soldiers. First came tbe order of the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Welles, as follows; Navy Dbpaetment, \ April 30, 1802. / Sir: The approach of the hot and sickly season upon the Southern coast of the United States renders it Impera tive that every precaution should be used by the officers commanding vessels to continue the excellent sanitary condition'of their crews The large number of persons known as “contrabands ” fir eking to the protection of the United States flag affords an opportunity to provide in every department of a ship, especially for boats’ crewß, acclimated labor. Tbe flag officers are required to obtain the services of these persons for the country by enlisting them fruly in the Navy, with their consent, rating them as boys, at eight, nine, or ten dollars per months and one ration. Let a monthly return be made of the number of this class of persons employed on each vessel under your command. I am respectfully, your obdient servant, GIDEON WELLES. Under Abe plea cf the approach of the sickly season, Mr. Welles issues this order; under the samo plea the negro may be called into any service in tbe Bouth, through tho rickly season, and the terrible effect it might have upon onr Army and Navy was not thought of by any Republi can official until recently. Having made this progressive step in our Navy, [as my colleague from the Bureau district, (Ur. Lovejoy) would call it,) it remains to be emulated in our Army. ' Not long does it await an imitator. General I). M. Hunter, com manding io tbe military department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, issues an order to enrol companies, regiments, and brigades of negroes in the military service Of the United States. Thus, In less than two years after the accession to power of the Republican pariy, tbe negro is made, as far aa pos sible, tbe equal of tbe white man as a civilian, a sailor, andaßoldler. Nay, mere than this, tbe Constitution is violated that white men may be bereft of guarantied rights. White men axe stripped of the armor of American citizen ship in order that the negro may be clothed therein. All this has been done against tbe earnest protest of ail con servative men. And propositions and amendments to bills, appropriating money for the suppression of the rebellion, which provided that no moneys should bo diverted either to tbe freeing, the support, or tbe enlistment of negroes, have been invariably voted down by the Republican party in this House. Worse than this even, General Hnnter, in his zeal for the negro, withdraws the protection of hia army from the loyal citizens of Jacksonville, Florida, in erder to perfect his great negro hoarding hooEe, an African military acade my at the mouth of tbe Savannah river. This is undoubt edly in harmony with his brilliant discovery that African slavery and martial law are incompatible. Common minds have heretofore considered martial Jaw and slavery, either for whites or blicksi amongst the most accordant institu tions upon earth. This proclamatory commander, who Vies in prcfundlty with the immoral General Phelps, un doubtedly considers martial law tbe very casket jewel of American liberty. My mind, Mr. Chairman, revolts at the idea of degrading the citizen soldiery of my country to tho level of the negro. Sir, the American volunteer has always been cur reliance in peace and our vindication in war. 1 am op posed, and you will find tbe volunteer army of the Union opposed, to the equalization in the ranks cf citizens and slaves. HaviDg-mado such efforts for the negroes of the United States, it would seem that your zeal in their behalf would lag and languish. But no; you cow go wandering among the islands of the sea and ever the continents of the globe In pursuit of negro principalities and republics which you may recognize among tho Powers of the earth. Haytl and Liberia furnish further matter for your infor mation to fatten upon, and you at once proceed to estab lish diplomatic relations between the United Btates and these benighted and half-made parodies upon human gov ernment. At an annual expense of thousands of dollars you pro pose to receive uegro diplomats from them and Send United States ministers to them; indeed are you the champions of negro equality, without regard to cost, place, propriety, or dignity. This Congress has been in session nearly eight months, and all that I haTe reviewed you bavo done, aud more you would do if you could, for the negro. What have you ac •eomplished for the white man? Have you provided fc-r the payment of pensions to the soldiers who have been disabled while fighting tbe battles of yonr country ? Have you appropriated money to relieve the wants and necessi ties of the widows and orphans of white men who have perished upon tbe battle-fields defending tbe Constitution and tbe flag of the country ? Ab, no; your time has been too much engrossed with tbe negro to* thick of these things. You have not appropriated ono dollar for these purposes—purposes which should enlist tbe ability and the sympathy of every patriot in the land. If this statement is incorrect; if this Republican party or its Administration have ever made a single effort in be half of the maimed soldierß, a single appropriation for the support of the orphans and widows of slain soldiers, I hope some gentleman upon the other side of the House will correct me. Thar© Is no response, and lam reassured in the correctness of my assertion by your silence. The alleviation of the sufferings of white men, or the protec tion of themrights, is not l& your lino of philanthropy. Like your lUnstrions prototype, Mrs. Jellaby, of the Bori bo-te-ga mission, or the Bev. Amlnidab Sleek in tho ploy ortheßotioim Family, to the political branch of which yuh Alo.ltionista will soon belong, your sympathies are never active in behalf of practical and genuine benevolence. . “f- Otahmao, I am opposed to oil these sickly schemes fcr eqnaliilng the races. God made the white man snoerior to the black, and no legislation will undo or chancre the: decrees of Heaven. They are unalterable as the laws nf nature, eternal aa divinity itself, and to legislate asainat them leads us- to infidelity and ruin. Since creation . dawned, tbe white race has improved and advanced in the scale of being, bat as the negro was then so.'he is now. v JBot,” say the Abolitionists, “the African has been <:|UMiiea with no opportunity for. Improvement.” Who ■ |»Y» the white man an opportunity ? God in his infinite i jntffoe btoeedthe two teceo upon tbo eartii at the begin* j iringortimetovrorkont their reipßetlv»: : destinies. -His toryliaa faithfully recorded theirechlevemant*. To that impartial tribunal I confidently appeal far lb# ! of.rite- white man's superiority.; As God made them so have they remained,-and unlike the abolition equalisation*. i'Jste'l find no fault and utter no complaint against the | wisdom and justice of onr Creator. I The evils of the attempted equalisation of the races is illustrated by the ! history ofMexico. That country was. settled by tbe intelligent Bp*nla»d, oTraee; not inferior to our own ancestors. They developed ihe resources of the country by sbtriiding rood*» highway*-and canals. AH along tbeir line of march tbe church and the school-house veto ereeted as landmarks of their But flaaOy the idea at the equalising of the races became popular; •■the attempt was made, the races were commingled, and thenceforward the deterioration of the people was rapid and faarfol. This bolds true not only in Mexico and throughout Central and Southern America, but in all sec tions of the globe wherever the white race has com* mingled with the black or the Indian* This system of equalisation has failed to elevate the inferior, bat has always degraded the superior race. On the other hand, wherever the purity of the white race has been preserved, its superiority has continued, and ita development, both mental and physical, progressed. Neither toil nor climate, upon this continent or elsewhere, has ever lowered tbe standard of the governing race. For three quarters of a century tho United States have led the van in alt that is groat or useful in inventions. We have made an errand boy of the lightning: we have applied steam as a propelling power. In a single year we have demonstrated the frailty of “ England's wooden walls” by the construction of our iron clad ships of war; and at the same time, by the same thought dissipated all previously entertained opinions of sea-coast and harbor fortification. Sir, lam satisfied with the history of the races aa they are, as they were created, and as onr fore* fathers legislated for them. I claim no originality for these thoughts; they have been entertained by some of the ablest statesmen, not only of our country, bnt of Eng* land, among them Mr. Canning, who, when the British Parliament was considering schemes kindred to those now occupying the attention of the Bepnblican party in this country, said: “ In dealing with the negro, sir, we must remember that we are dealing with a being possessing the form and strength of a man, bnt tbe intellect only of a child. To turn him loose in the manhood of his physical strength, In the maturity of bis physical passions, but in the infancy of bis uninstructed reason, would be to raise up a creature resembling the splendid fiction of a recent romance, the hero of which constructs a human form, with all the cor poreal capabilities of man, and with the thews and sinews of a giant; bat.being unable to impart to tbe work of bis hands a perception of right and wrong, he finds too late that betas only created a more than mortal power of do ing mischief; and himself recoils from the monster he has made.” • One of their great statesmen of to-day, Lord John Bus sell, whenever he alludes to the black race in America and to change of ita status, talks only of very gradual emanci pation, because he knows that sudden and unconditional emancipation would be destruction to both the negro and the white man. British statesmen opposed immediate emancipation upon the ground of expediency alone. American statesmen should oppoee it, not only upon that ground, bnt also upon the ground that tho Constitution gives no power to interfere with the domestic institutions of tho several States—no such power either in peace or war. Bat to reach the goal of their hopes, tbe Abolitionists of tbis country are willing to override expediency, tbe law, and the Constitution; to destroy the Government itself, in order to emancipate at once all the slaves of the Sooth. My colleague [Mr. Lottjot] says two thirds or three-" fourths of the army are Abolitionists. This may be trne, bnt upon tbe new constitution for the State of Illinois, which contains a provision to exclude negroes from loca* ting within tbe State, tho soldiers do not vote like Aboli tionists. Elevonof our regiments have already voted upon the adoption of that constitution. Mr. Wicklttfe. How did they vote? Mr. Richardson. Sixty-three votes were given against it, and all tbe rest—some several thousand—were given for it. Throughout the State of Illinois, Abolitionists are rp. posing this constitution, and Democrats and conservative men are advocating its adoption. Four-filths, and perhaps nine-tenths, or all tbe men that carry moskets and knapsacks In tbe army of tbe Weft are opposed to the doctrines of negro equality and abolition, as preached by tbe gentleman from tbe Bureau district of Illinois. He is a man of great boldness, apparently, and I must do him the justice to say tbat be advocates aboli tion and its consequences with great fearlessness,' though he is too discreet to make as strong speeches in Southern Illinois os he does at Chicago. He and several other gen tlemen of kindred opinions favored me by canvassing through my district during the last campaign tbat I made for Congress, and it gives me great pleasure to state that they were quite moderate. A Votes. Didn’t they give you votes? Mr. Richaudson. Well, sir, they were like the boy whom the miDister of the gospel found fishing on Sunday. Said he, “My boy, you are very wicked, you ought not to be sporting upon the Sabbath.” “ Oh,” said the boy, “I ain’t doing no hurt, and ain’t wicked, for I haven’t caught a single fish.” [Laughter.] So it was with my abolition friends when they sported in my district; they were not very wicked, for they caught no fish. [Laughter.] Sir, I will not digress, but return to the consideration of the solemn responsibilities tbat are resting upon os. Our country is menaced by Secessionists in arms, rebels, upon one hand, aod by Abolitionists, nuliifUrs of tbe laws and the Constitution, upon tbe other. Sir, I propose bayonets for tbe former, ballots for tbe latter. These two classes dis posed of, and there will be a return to the prosperity, peace, and happiness of the early days of tho Republic. Sir, these armies were raised to execute the laws aod maintain tbe authority of the-Constitution in all tbe States. They are, sir, to suppress armed violators of that instrument. And, sir, It remains lor the pocple at the ballot-box to suppress these Northern violators of the Con stitution, if they would preserve the rights and liberties of American freemen. For one, wherever I am called, and whenever, I shall be always ready to discharge my portion of this duty. Neither the cry of disloyalty nor the charge of sympathy with tbe rebels, whether it emanates from usurpers of the people’s rights in high places, or from base plunderers of tbe Government, who make the negro a bobby-horse upon which they ride to enormous and extortionate contracts— neither, sir, shall deter me from the full aod complete ful fillment of my duty as a Representative. Idonounce hero —and no one shall gainsay my right to do so as tbeßepre sedative of a gallant aDd loyal people—tbo action of this Congress and of tbe several Departments upon the negro question. I denounce it as having neutralized to a great extent the effect of many of the hard-eamod victories which onr soldiers have fought and won for “the Consti tution as it is—the Union aa it was.” This, sir, is what life and happiness has been periled for in tho loyal States ; for this I now address yon; for this, upon tbis issue, I shall go before tbe people of my State dnring the coming fall; for this, sir, I shall expect there to speak, to act, and to vote; for this sir, I expect tbat extreme men, Abolition ists and disnnionists, will bo banished from tbe councils of the nation. This great work accomplished, grlm-visaged war will smooth his wrinkled front. The din of arms will be lost in the bnm of contented industry aod the bymn of domes tic endearment. The Constitution as it is will stand sub- nely forth an enduring monument to the wisdom of our tbers; the States restored, like stars that have wandered, to their original places in “ the Union as it wasour peo ple once more on the highway of nations and on the march towards the fulfilment of destiny which God has assigned to them. All these things I hope for, all these things I shall real ize, unless the people are again deceived by abolition under a new Dame- Under the Dame of Republican abolition can do no more harm; in tbat character its role is ended. It will next appear in a new dress. Already its leaders are calling loudly for tbe formation of a so-called Union party. This is indeed an attempt to steal the livery of Heaven in which to eerve the devil. Let tbe people, being forewarned, be forearmed against the next appearance of Abolition. Trust no such affiliations, for one more success of the abo lition party, under whatever name it may assume, and our nationality is lostforever, aud the wreck of our Republic will strew tbe pathway of nations with those of Greece and Rome. From the contemplation of such a future I turn in horror—upon such scenes, Mr. Chairman, I trust my eyes may never rest, over such resalts never weep. GENERAL MoCLELLAN ON THE BAT TLE-FIELD. Correspondents at Chickabominy, writing on that bloody field, have one uniform tone, touching tbe patriotism and bravery of tbe patriotic commander-in chief. We give two or three extracts: [Special Correspondence of the Tribune.] Oh that rain which I described! Had i not been for that, McClellan would to nigh have been in Richmond. His plans were matured, and our march in overwhelming force and vigor could not have been stopped. But it is only a question of time with the commander. I felt to day for the first time a full sense of the vast labors he undergoes, and of the exceeding heavy burden of the respon sibility which weighs down hie heart and his brain, when I saw him dismount from his horse at a brook, and baring his head, nek nn orderly to bathe it with water scooped up in his hands. Overburdened, harrassed, ham pered soldier, may the God of Battles give you success and give you rest 1 [From the N. T. Herald.] The bridge erected by Sedgwick’s corpß across the Chickahominy was swept away after the passage of Gen. Sedgwick’s division by the swollen and swift curront of the stream. Gen. McClellan unaware of this fact dashed with his staff up to its former position to find it gone. The staff stood aghast at the appalling faot. What if it had happened be fore the transit of the troops across the swol len current to reinforce their brethren in Casey’s and Couch’s despairing divisions? Nothing daunted however our idolized young Napoleon dashed into .the swiftly rolling cur rent, through which his noble steed safely carried him to the opposite shore. This was 'not an act of our General to gain the applause of a multitude, hut one oocuring while he was surrounded by his staff and a few spectators, in the discharge of his ordinary duties and away from the excitement of the field. [From the Boston Traveler.] Permit me, before I close my letter, to give' your readers the position in which General McClellan is held by the common soldiers, by the rank and file of the whole army. When I say that Gen. McClellan is beloved, trusted and perfectly idolized by every common bol dier in the army, I am not saying one bit more than the bare truth. They will follow him anywhere and ‘ everywhere, for they know, to a man, that he will not needlessly or unneces sarily expose them to danger. No matter how great the peril or difficult the task may seem, when he commands they will cheerfully obey, and, with Ihemoßt unbounded o jnfidence, will face any danger or overcome any obstacle.— In faot, the feeling towards General McClellan partakes almost of adoration. With such a General, the Union causo can never fail. General McClellan had rode over very early on Sunday morning, and when the fight be gan he immediately rode down the Williams burg road, and over the whole scene of action, whioh he directed; His presence excited the most intense enthusiasm in the troops, both on the field and later in the day, when he rode along the lines and looked kindly on the shat tered regiments that had been in Saturday’s fight. To these brave fellows— “ few and faint, bnt fearless still,”—the yonng Com mander addressed a few words of pleasant encouragement that thrilled every ear, and then rode away. . . [From the N. Y. Evening Post] General Mcdellan rode over the field where the battle of Hanover ooonrred, and was : greetedwith tremenduous enthusiasm by the thouaands of -brave hearts who had participa f-ted in theengagement. 11um-SEfEBTH CPNfIRESS—FIRST SESSfoil ' In the Benste to-day a munorialwas presented from the General Assembly of- the Presbyterian Charoh, and Bynod of the Reformed Presbyterian Charcb, asking for the emancipation of the alares.

THE RECENT FRESHETS. Mauch Chunk, Jane 9,1862. To the Editor of the Press: Sib: Never, I believe, in tbe history of Pennsylvania, has a county suffered so disas trously as Carbon did last week by the freshet. The public improvements through our regions have been swept almost entirely from one end to the other. Canal dams, bridges, looks, coal schutes, and great portions of. the railroads have beon utterly demolished. Hundreds of boats were torn from their moorings and car ried down with the angry current, and many richly freighted with human life. Great portions of villages—many houees and im provements—were lifted as if by magic from their foundations and harried down the river to swell its mighty and impetuous torrents. Tbo loss of life is frightfully fearful. At 'this writing, it is said that upwards of one hundred. and fifty dead bodies have been found ! Hundreds of widows and orphans are mourniDg for husbands and fathers I Many are without bomep, without clothes and with out food! No pen can exaggerate the picture; it is Bad in the extreme. Charity has work before her, and many of our ladies are now ministering angels. I trust the generous of your "city will not bo deaf to the calls of the wants here. I could instances that would move the sympathies of the coldest hearted. Mauoh Chunk is almost isolated from the rest of the world. Many of the roads leading to our once pleasant and delightful are entirely wiped out, and washed into the very rocks of the mountains; and, what is worse than all, the borough does not poßsess,the means to rebuild them. I may say, too, the county cannot rebuild the bridges swept away with, the money at the disposal of the com missioners, nor can a tax be laid or collected to do it. Indeed, it is a serious question what shall or can be done under the circumstan ces. The strong and powerful corporations will rebuild their works. They are pushing their improvements with mighty energy, but they oan do no more than take care of themselves. Mauch Chunk and Carbon county are really iu a deplorable condition .* I hope, however, that something may be done to afford .some relief. In the midst of all our troubles oomes the news from the battle field that our brave mountain boys have been in the sanguinary conflict of Fpir Oaks, and among the slain we read the name of our gallant and chivalrous Colonel Miller, of the 81st, who commanded a company from this place in Mexico, and had upwards of four hundred of our men in his regiment, and many of them have followed him. They have fought their last fight. The pall hangs heavy upon us. Extraordinary Scheme of a Forger Foiled.— On Monday, a week ago, J. Bu chanan Cross, a notorious forger, who is serving a term of imprisonment in the East ern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania, had suc ceeded in addressing a letter to the U. S. Marshal.of Philadelphia, purporting to have come from the Assistant Secretary of War, Mr. Watson, asking for the immediate re lease of the prisoner himself, as he “ was wanted to be used on special business by the War Department ; that he was to be sent South, and that his speedy release was desir able.” The Marshal went through all the forms directed in the letter, and with a Depu ty Marshal, got the prisoner (Cross) out of the Penitentiary and took him to Washington, to the office of the Secretary of War, where the party astonished Secretary Stanton and his Assistant,Jthe latter pronouncing the letter to the Marshal to be a forgery. Mr. Cross* intention was to effect his escape from tbe Marshal, bat he was unsuccessful, aDd is now back in his old aquatera at the Penitentiary. THE SEWARD-LYONS TREATY. Washington, June 10.
