Monroe—lgno rance of Rebel Olticers—The Right Sen timent Reviving—The Seventy-seventh Pennsylvania in the late Battle—They Capture a Tennessee Colonel—A Vessel Fired on by the Rebels—A Search for Assassins. teorreep,-nclence of The Preem.l ON BOARD THE MINNERATIA, TENNESSEE RIVER, April 23, 18112. Though just. leaving what is now historie ground, made so by the glorious victory, I presume I can add but little or nothing to what your talented cor respondent—Mr. T.—whom I have just left, has given you already. Until, indeed, the various division generals furnish their respective reports, it seems idle to attempt to give additional particulars of the battle of Shiloh. The field upon which the engagement took place (just by Pittsburg Landing) covers au urea 9r nee miles at the very least, and the different reporters seem to have verified the old story of the man presenting different ends of an egg to two friends. I rode over the field under the guidance of one of the distinguished sons of our own State—Col. Stambaugh—who pointed out to me the devasta tion wade la the then recent conflict. Large trees broken and splintered by cannon balls , bushes singed, ditches into which the dead have been thrown, everywhere met the eye. Here and there a few solitary graves, with head and foot-be...a, with an inscription rudely carved, but dictated by the kindly heart of a comrade; occasional frag ments of clothes of homespun ; muskets with flint locks horses but hair interred, aad already ren dering the air offensive, complete the picture. A few, a very few bodies remain yet unbaried. Pass ing over a wagon road, I saw one hand out wretched NS if invoking mercy, and some portions of a human body still visible, and but half buried, by the pass ing over it of wagens and artillery—the whole face 9f nature horribly marred by the impious hand of man. Ono such grave, marked as I have mentioned, holds all that remains of Mr. Thomas B. Monroe, formerly Sanitary of State of Monied:7. He was known to the Philadelphia community by a recent marriage to one of its accomplished daughters. Having fled from his native State with his traitor father, (a V. u, District Judge,) he sought a posi tion in the rebel army. He was acting as lieu tenant colonel when he met his death on the field, where he was decently interred. I trust you will say as I did, when standing at Zollicoffer's grave— Peace to his ashes! may his death absolve his crime. Several instances of respectful consideration have been shown to such of the dead rebels as hada been recognized on the field. Of course, attentions from the army officers are not confined to the dead, and some really affecting incidents have occurred among the wounded—both officers and mOll-401111. Mg to show how very much the Southern mind has been abused by the infamous leaders of this re bellion. Colonel Bruce (acting brigadier general, and who, by the bye, was one of the most distin guished on the field) now sitting by me, mentioned one instance of a rebel officer, badly wounded, whom he had carried into his own tent after the battle, and every attention shown to him. He was an educated man, and yet he told the general that he had been led to believe that he would be bar). netted if found alive by the " Yankees." It seems incredible that an American at the South could be found who would believe the barbarous inten 09tle attributed t 9 their Northern brethren, yet so it is. Every conceivable fabrication seems to he made to embitter the feeling entertained for those who are supporting the (3 overnment. Yet I am plumed to He, in my travels through the country, that the Magnanimity of the com manders, and tee excellent behavior of the troops, (respecting, as they do, both contrabands, chick ens, and fence rails, and thus forming e strong contrast to these who really did before hold the Seuthernera in subjection) has produced its legiti mate effects. This fact, joined of course to the successes of the Government forces, is rekindling rapidly the smouldering embers of national pride ; and I BM ninth wigs/ten if ere very long they will not turn with a fury proportioned to their merits upon those who have misled the public mind. In omitting any attempt to describe the battle, I feel you will think me culpably negligent, were I not to say that Penneylvania was most honorably represented on the field of Shiloh. The Seventy. seventh Pennsylvania won imperishable laurels; its gallant colonel animating his men with hie own indomitable courage and perseverance, again and again drove back the rebels; and among the few prisoners taken that day, he himself had the satis faction of receiving the amord of a Cl .o Battles, of one of the Tennessee rebel regiments. I regret I have no list of the killed and wounded to furnish you, but its loss, considering the ex s posure and se vere contest, was but slight. The effionei welted without a wound, though his coat indicates the near proximity of bullets to his person. The boat upon which I write was fired into on its way up, when near Duck river, by some rebels, and WIC BIM severely wounded. Fortanately, having some few soldiers and arms on beard, it immediately rounded to, landed the soldiers, and captured three rebels. The owner of the mansion, near to which the firing Marred, in answer to an inquiry, stated that no Anne were concealed there in. On searching, however, some half dozen were found concealed, and the house committed to the flames. thane rebel cavalry were discovered in the distance, but made no attempt to interfere. It is auppmed by some that these were commanded by the übiquitous Morgan—doubtful, however. It seems to me there is a decided mistake in car rying the remains of those killed off a battle field_ Immediately after such an engagement, I would select a spot of ground not likely to be wanted, and where the most prominent events took place, and there make the interments carefully. A proper railing should be placed around the whole, Those relatives who desire to show their respect and af• fection can erect tombstones or monuments on the glen and the Government should see that these are preserved in rot perpetttam memoriam. Pilgrims to the spot will, hereafter, thus find it appropriately marked. My paper warns me to bid you adieu. • MONKBARNS. LETTER FROM KENTUCKY. Paymasters en route for Shiloh—General Leslie Coombs—A Visit to Ashland and Henry Clay's Tomb. [Correspondence of The Prem.] Xy,, April 21, Mil Coining down the Ten essee river, we enema.- tered a steamer with a precious freight of pay masters, with funds for the heroes of Shiloh. The able and indefatigable Chief of the pay department of this district, Major Charles T. Lamed, no sooner received funds, and ascertained how the troops could be reached, than he gave the necessary in strnetiona to his subordinates, who oheirrally ue- Conded his laudable exertions, and who are, by this time, in the field, earning thanks for themselves, and blessings for Uncle Samuel. Bow is it , (M I who know all things, oan perhaps tell) that the pay department of this district never gets any specie from Washington? It is said that the pay masters, when they are about to dart for their re• gimente, are obliged to do the most elaborate kind of shinning and financiering in order to procure the necessary change with which to make their pay ments. This should not be; and you will be dein., good service to the Government, the paymasters; and the soldiers, if you can suggest a remedy. You are doubtless curious to know by what means, end to what end, we have reached Lexington; but your reasonable curiosity can never be gratified. Be content to know that your correspondent is here, that he has just returnedifrom the Kentucky river, with its grand scenery—has visited Boone's Knob, and, looking down its precipitous cliffs into the wa ters below, has communed with the spirit of the ve teran hunter. Be further gratified to learn that we have held close converse with another loyal ve teran—the youngest old gentleman in Autorige-- Owl. /melte Ceouilio--who auowe no "if nor buts" when the question is the Constitution and the laws, and whose full rounded voice is still a spell in Ken tucky, by which to exorcise treason, or a bugle blast, to make loyalty start up, panoplied, from crag, heather, or bush ; hamlet, town, or city. Your correspondent visited Ashland, but Henry Clay was not there ! Alas ! no, nor his spirit, nor authing that resembled him ; but in the cemetery, ulnae hue honored and venerated remains repose, from out the sarcophagus wherein he lies, he speaks for his country, and to his countrymen, in tones which can only fail to persuade, where ignorance or crime has destroyed all the mind's hearing, and impeded all the avenues to the soul. This sentence of his own graces the ooldi marble wherein he lies "I can with unshaken confidence appeal to the divine Arbiter for the truth of the declaration that I have twin ihfieeeeed by no un pure purpose, no personal motive; have sought no personal aggrandizement, but that in all my public acts I have had a sole and single eye, and a warm devoted heart directed and dedicated to what in my best judgment I believe to be the true interests of my country." The fresh stones of the cemetery shall be moss covered the noble monument shall crumble, and the marble whereon these words are served become pulverised, and yet the words themselves shall not perish; no, nor be severed from the spirit which shines thrones- them like a sword of fire. They will be words of comfort and of pride to the true-hearted and loyal; but disloyalty will eliareh in vain amongst them for aught but reproach and terror. It would be gratifying to give you a description of 3 / 4 1,, w o.lam.lat eurmotmilas t bo WO: , of awry Clay, but this letter is already one of the longest, and perhaps it may not be the last you will receive from Vans.

From our Fortress Monroe correspondent, tt Maton," we Lora rectilvea very tako 3, , ottlern papers, wblob are reaouant with outbursts of regret and indignation, en livened with one or two hopeful accompaniments.

Exi dencee of their dolorous mood are presented below [From the Petersburg (Va.) Express, April 29.] The New Orlealls Digibter, The capture of new Orleans by the enemy is, under the circumstances, one of the most extraordinary events which the war has brought forth. The blow which hiss been struck no is undoubtedly a very severe one; but if General Lorell anti all his army, munitions, and stores are raft—if all the cotton, tobacco, Rc , were destroyed, the coin of the banks secured, and everything else that would be of value to the enemy put out of his roach, the blow hos been stripped of more than half of its terror. We Rill be undoubtedly subjected to new mid kie,it to . conveniences by the lona that city; but its occapancr by the Yankees will be anything but an agreeable one, now that the yellow fever season is near at hand, which for months will prove fatal to the Northern unacclimated troops by which it will hays to l i e held. But there is another aspect of the matter still more cheering to the Confederates The large and fine army which was assigned for the defence of New Orleans can ~roe be united, with the army at Corinth in time to Mist in OK great work of driving the Vandals 11111 of Tennessee end Kentucky, and in a march across the Ohio—a movement which, we cannot doubt, will he com menced and carried through as soon as the Tennessee, Cumberland, and Ohio rivers become too shallow for gunboat navigaticn. Then will be our 9PPQrtUaity for striking a crusting blow that will more than redeem all our looses. Ire want to see a eel emit of 150,000 South,- ern troops led on by Beauregard through the North western, and another column of the same strength through the Northern Stales by Johnston, so that whilst the Yankees are taking our roast alit be tweepheg there; and then we would see who would Buffer most and endure their sufferings longest. The cap tureelPhiladelphia or New York would be to us a guaran tee of peace in thirty days upon our own terms. We have 400,000 Soldiers in the field, of whom Naholeoa, zenith of me glory, might have been proud. They would move with alacrity in the direction of Yankee laud, if the word was just given them from Itichmoud. Oh, that it may be given ! as it ought to have been twldve months ago. Besides this huge . army, which could easily nue port iteelt in the canon] country, we would have a re serve sufficiently powerful to protect our vast interior, comprising a compact and populous territory between t F ie ran M c iess,Great Britain,aad t a a n n t d i c equal , nth inextent 0 i t i o t h th a a lf t o o f f Viewed% and all itiontucav and Tenneseee,) whilst OUT trans. , fdindasippi territory (leaving out Missouri) com prises a still larger area. The idea of a conquest of such a country is preposterously absurd, and the fall of New Orleans, although to be much lamented, does not put the Immithott iii. 1.,0h vea=d= the consummation of their Bt. cursed purpose. Additional Since the above was written, we have received further intelligence from New Orleans, which riiproaento that, shhoost, the Federal fleet was before the city, the enemy bad not taken possession, because they have no forces to occupy it. It is rumored that toe had several very for midable gunboats at Fort Pillow when the rederals passed the forts below New OrteffnSl Slid that ii vorlion these h.a-e been, ere tafs,sterpatcaed co New Orleans. They may be enabled to destroy a portion of the Yankee vessels, if not all, and thus save the city. We trust that the rumor may prove true. and that our flotilla may ac complish all that is hoped for. The rmucr regarding the protect of the French and English men-of. war, mentioned in our despatches, may be correct. It is stated that no civilized nation was ever known to shell a city after it had been evacuated by the trospe collected for its defence. 'Whether the Yankee nation will contorni to usage in this motor VEhttainis to be seen. [Eton the Norfolk Day Book, April 29.)

The reparation of this disaster, so far as it may be repaired, rests not with the B...ecotive, nor with the thiolnet, nor with Congress, nor with any headquarters, but with the people.

[From the Ilichtnntla Dispatch, Apra Sq.] The ft mint state of suspense in which this city existed for two or three days has at last ended. New Orleans is in the possession of the enemy.

If every Seaboard town in the Confederacy, and every river town which can be reached by gunboats, were in the possession of the enemy to-morrow, it would not have the slightest effect upon the issue of the contest. Fortunately, they took no OribOlItTO; our troops remain to reinforce Beam. regard, or to go elsewhere, as they may be ordered.

The enemy's fleet approached the city and demanded a surrender.

The iron clad steamer Mississippi was burnt to prevent herfall ing into the possession of the enemy. Nothing is said about the Louisiana, but the supposition at present is that she wag scuttled. The public would fain be inform ed of tie causes of the fall of New Orleans. Oho rumor says that the_"iron-clad, bomb-proof" steamer Louisi ana was sunk thefirst fire from the enemy's mortar boats, and it would be a relief to know whether, in fact, she played any part in the matter. 1; was believed here that She was tested with fifty rounds of ball of one hundred and fifty•four pounds weight, without doing her any damage, and much was therefore expected from her.

TIER REPELS PREPARING TO RESIST THE ADVANCE OF McDOWELL AND ELVES.

McDowell's and flanks' //Kale, aad the 4316ilthe the rebel hae telcea to resist them, The Examiner states that Gen. Mallet— lan has tent reinforcements to Gen. McDowell, and that the rebel Government has sent a corresponding number to strenehan Con. JAelceen's army. We do not plate any reliance on the latter part of the Examiner's asser tion, for no doubt the editor thinks that he can frighten Gen. 'McDowell from making an advance, and at the NAM) time keep 1111 the spirits of the itemustionists in Itichniond, who are trembling lest the Federal army wilt soon makethem a visit. To send "heavy" reinforcements from Yorktown to the relief of Gen. Jackson's army would so weaken the force at the former place that victory over it. by Gen.

THE SIEGE OF YORKTOWN, TUESDAY'S OPERATIONS THE REBELS Notairfirts sionirsisse Yorktown furnishes us with no startling Item of nowe at present. The following it a summary of the opentiows of Tuenday: Yesterday the rebels commenced to place mortars in position on their works, about half a mile south of York town. Negroes could be seen swarming around certain Plate him bees. They carry sand , bug up, and pile them in the shape of a semi-circle upon the top of the fort, no attempt being made to prevent thorn carrying on their work. Several of these operations will be so well covered to-day that it will be difficult to dislodge them, or PICYCIIt them Winking their nuns Ia k.z.mparativo safety. Considerable merriment bas been made here over the map of the Siege of Yorktown, published in one or two papers. It is so notoriously incur rest as to allow upon the face that the author never was on the rnainfighi, and had no more knowledge of the rebel worker than a child in some far-oif clime.

NEW YORK POLITICS. Address of the Union Members of the Legielakture. A DNION OF ALL PATRIOTS RECOMMENDED To Inc klectors of the State of New York The undersigned, members of the Legislature, feel it incumbent upon them, is closing the session of IS6e, to submit to the electors of this btate some considerations PO to tbo prcttifl condition of the country, and the milli. cal duties wbich it dereltee upon them. When they aesemjsled here, the great rebellion, whose rising clouds had Belong darkened the Southern sky, had already burst in desolating fury upon the laud. The bad 'pith - tiers of nilibilielle and unprincipled men, embittered by the teachings and spirit of an instillitien Which has long been our shame and our reproach, and poisoned by party hate and lent of power, had finally culminated in open madness, and hurled upon our country all the ca lamities and dangers we had feared so long and had sought. on Cannily by 6.6416,4141eiais and cornpromidee to avert and avoid. It had become the duty of this generation to meet the most fearful peril our institutions have ever been compelled to encounter. That duty had been rendered doubly difficult by the winonahlessus end 000ddlog tocrodolley of the toy at people of the Northern Statee, who steadily refused to believe their Southern brethren capable of the greatest crime that has ever stained the annals of any nation, and who resolutely shut their eyes to the movements of or saniud conspiracy, and even to the maeslsallog of armies, iu open prelude to its preparation. It was not until the bombardment of Sumpter announced the actual outbreak of the rebellion that the North could credit the persibility of such an att. Then they awoke from their deltoivedreani and began to resit,. the fearful dangers that menaced thim on every site. They then saw the Constitution rent and torn asunder, the nation stabled in a vital part, the whole fabric ana foundation of the Government broken and shaken from its centre to its cir eumferenee, treason in the army and nityr, ana in overy department of the Government, anti foreign nations look ing scornfully on and gloating over the apparent and well-nigh accomplished ruin of the republic. Never was there a pert, dlci the history of the world so well adapted to try the strength dime institutions, or to, tilt the coinage and patriotism of free men, and right well did they vindicate the one, and sweat, in a manner Lever to be forgotten, the truthfulness of the other. Though they found themselves without military train ing, or organization of any kind—}with a gem maws, iration t just eioriod, oast - gunnel to the roponelltilititet of power—with a bankrupt treasury, and our little army and navy scattered to the four quarters of the world— et,swith a devotion and determination worthy the heroic days of the Republic, and without a parallel in the hiss Cory of nations, they sprang, to arms, and rallied as On man to the support of the Constitution. From mountain top and valley, from the lake, the river, and the ocean, from the city, and from the plain, from all the walks and trades and professions of life, without distinetion of caste, or birthplace, dr sett, or tarts, they slopped fortis ‘"Pon the .ante common level, side by side, to battle nobly for freedom, order, and constitutional law. In the political world, the crisis produced changes al most as great, and quite as honorable to the patriotio loyalty of the AlidffiMii geoids_ To a 9 6 .7) . g. sat eaten., in all the Northern States, mere party organizations dis solved aril melted away in the presence of this fierce and flaming reril. In this State, as elsewhere, the popular impulse demanded that patriotic men of all partite should lay aside, for the lime, their differences of pvlfcitui sentiment, and unite in support or the National Administration in Its efforts to maintain the authority of the. Constitution and the integrity of the Union. The great body of the people were ready for such a Union, and nothing but the obstinate resistance oft powerfol ox- i gnnizeilon, cinimins to represent the Democratic party, and controlling all its organized meaus of action, stood in the way of its consumma tion. This organization, acting in the name, but helloing the spirit and temper of the patriotic masses of the Democratic party, went into the goats Conkeei Of last fall upon the avowed basis of hostility to the National e Adrninheration, and to nearly every one of the measures which, under the pressure , of imperative necessity, it lad been compelled to adopt for the succestful prosecution of the war, and the arrest or measures in progress Within the telite of our own State to afford aid and comfort to the rebellion. A strong feeling of dissatisfaction soon made itself manifest among the great body of the Democratic party, whose patriotic sentiments and purposes were thus misrepresented, and who protested indignantly against thus being made the instruments of sacrificing the very honor and safety of the country to the resentments and ambition of political partisans; and, joining others of their fellow-citizens not connected wilh them in party associations, they mat in Convention at Syracuse for the nomination of a State ticket upon the broad platform of loyalty to the Constitu tion and the Union, and the support of the Administra tion, whirl, bad become responsible for the fate of both. The Republican Contention, Which had Resembled at the earns place, in else same spirit, and for the name Danielle purpose, promptly laid amide for the time all thought of independent action, and joined the Union Conveution in its declaration of purposes, and its selection of candidates for State officers. The men thus nominated, in spite of . the vigor - ea* efforts ef The evsealled Democratic organic zation, were elected by a very large popular majority. 7n the election of members to the Legielaittre, the came patriotic spirit pervaded the great body of the peo ple. The Republican party in every Senate and Asaem- I district of Ade btate, es ever-swims* ttiroughout tee country, stood pledged, alike by its principles and by its responsibility, for the National Administration which it placed in power, to the rapport of that Administration in whatever measures tho emergency might require for the Plorittaaot. of 4116 re 1.1114.. sod 46e proserrmtlon oP tito Union. In very many of those districts the Republicans elected members of their own party to the Legislature ; while tu many others, where they had the unquestioned power to elect such candidates, they waived all such preferencea, and %Wad in electing slew who haa never acted with the politically, but whose loyalty and pare mount devotion to the country had been made manifest by their patriotic and independent action. And in still other districts, where the Republicans were in the mi nority, their union with true Democrats who hail been repelled from their own party organization by its thinly disguised sympathy with the political sentiments and purposes which prompted the rebellion, resulted in the election of Democratic Union men. In Mile one of these three ways nearly all the under. signed were elected to be members of the present Legisla ture. 'They met at Albany and entered upon their du ties on this common platform of devotion to the country, the Constitution, and the Union. They have acted to gether as Tjnieri men, igneritlf; past ditTetetleon dis carding all political diatinctiena. They organized trie Assembly upon ibis basis, and their proceedingsthrough out the session have been characterized by harmonious co-operation in efforts to reform public obliges, to re trench needless expenditures, to check and crush out profligacy and corruption in all department* of the Go vernment, and to strengthen the hands of the General Government in its contest with rebellion. The wisdom of ibis course in this State and throughout the country, is now apparent. The heart-burniuge and biliiierilign of party have burn Vanished. Traitor* at Douai LlOre Veen cowed or shamed into silence and submission. The credit of the Government has been sustained, and confi dence in its stability and integrity has been restored. Thanks to the courage and heroic constancy of our ci- Well *Altera, to the Wie416.61 of that , leaders, end ass hearty support of the great body of the people. the 'tide of war has been turned back ;,upon the rebellion, its armies defeated, its strongholds captured, and its lead ers are one by one paying the penalty of their hideous crime. Notting in the history or itnis nation, or or the world, surpasses the patriotic devotion of the people to the coun try in this crisis of its fate. Not only have they offerer! their lives and thoir fortunes, freely and without stint, fur the publie geed, but they have surrendered, for the mo ment, with NUM elastity• Whist freemen everywhere deem Infinitely more valuable than either life or fortune— namely, their personal rights, freedom of speech and of the press, habeas corpus, and whatever else seemed for the time to stand in the way of preserving the nation's Lease and the nationie life_ Noss. het a began whose pillars rest on the immovable foundation of a people's love, could endure so sharp and severe a test. With every successive step of the rebellion has the strength of our Government become more manifest. Despotic Powers have goon with surprise this calm surrender by a people living under republican instantiate of the fundamental rights and immunities which those institutions were made to protect. They profess to see in it indifference to those rights; whereas, they are surrendered tor the moment only, as a means of giving them a firm and Immovable basis hereafter.' They are waived for the time, in order to preserve the Constitution, which guaranties them, for. ever. But, while so much has been done, it cannot be for gotten that a mighty work still remains to be Einem. pliehed. While the country has been delivered from the immediate peril by which it seemed a few months since to be thteateued, it must be borne in mind that the re bellion bas not yet been crushed—that battles have yet t 9 tl4 keel!! SOO Ticturiel wean and deft/Ste Wheel en countered, before we can safely relax our united efforts in the common cause. Nor is the emergency any longer purely military in its character. The dangers which now threaten the Union are not exclusively dangers arising from military force- Qukitione o f political pries - 100, touching the very foundations of the Government, and threatening its stability and integrity quite as really as any menace or military power, are rapidly arising, or are Ilona into the controversy by designing enemies of the Unioa, for the purpose of eta fa:thee esantlleatilig the tweldem Of its preservation. The MOWS which brought on this re bellion, with all their attendant perils and evils, have yet to be eradicated and removed. A great and comprehenaive system of financial policy, con meneutoto with. our present and future wants, mus t be inaugurated and administered ; the re-establishment of the authority of the National Government hes yet to he effected; and the mode of treatment toward persons in rebellion, their property and their slaves, has yet to be determined. We must vindicate the intelligence as well as the patriotism of our people, and put to shame the ty rants of the Old World who laughed at our calamities, and predicted the downfall of popular government and tree institutienin And, what is perhaps a more difficult problem still, the system and manta:My of a free and representative Com monwealth must be made to move on and work henna niouely with a heavy national doh., and an onerous and searching taxation. The experience of the peer, and our TWO CENTS. own Revolutionary history, should admonish us that our greatest perils may yet lie hidden in the future, and that it will require the united efforts and energies, for YAM to come, of all trim, loyal, and patriotic men, to carry us in safety through the storms and dangers that still beset and threaten our way. Whatever differences of opinion may have hitherto prpygllttl i pr mpy pun proyail, on the general subject of me - Ivry, no one can doubt that it is, if not the primary cause, the pretext and powerful agent of the present re bellion. The slaveholding interest has aimed for many years to control the political action of the General Go vernment, and to make that action subservient to its own llgitrithdiZtdattAtt_ The reedit or th.- P.-osmoodot election 01 MO, aided as it was by the efforts of conspirators ha Fouibei I, Slater, signalized the defeat of that endeavor, and the dirdoeurea of the census of the flame year proved conclusively that this defeat was final. The political au premacy of the slavebelding intortstesthe sway which the; tercet had prof - tinnily exercised over the General Government—had been forever overthrown. To revenge this defeat, and reverse by force the verdict of the ballot box, war the primary purpose of the rebellion. That purpose hag failed ; and the permanent welfare and nettled athibeeet .f the e.:teeery forbid any attempt to soften this failure or qualify in any degree its disas trous effects upon ,lovely itself. The rebellion has thus tar proved fatal to the interest it was designed to serve. The blows of the war which slavery invoked have fallen with mortal %Matt ta.on false Structure of the institution has been shaken to its foundation. Not only have its sway over the adminis tration of the National Governmeit, and its hold upon the reipeetfut toleration of the country been rudely an 4 thernunl,ly Lel the ' , seal bee. sad usages upon which it rested have been seriously affected by the pre sence of cur armies and the measures of military *della itration which the emergencies of the country have re quired however men may have differed heretofore tle to the potter of Congress over slavery, there is now very little difference among those who have acted tegother in support of the Government as to the prac tical necessities of the future. We all agree that slavery must never again be permitted to increase Its power by invading free territory, or bringing new slave States into the Union therefroml that it must tease to 'Met lie the District of Columbia, which la under the exeleeive jots diction of the General Government; and that the Consti tution must hereafter be administered in the spirit of free dom, and for the advancemert of those principles on which our 111.01409 M rest, And not for the D er O ettlatiert or slayeryt We all agree that slavery, so far as It may bo of pecuniary, or political value to any indivi dual in rebellion against the Government should be made to near the penalties which every such individual incurs by the guilt of treason or roidetance to lawful authority. And we all arm in enstidniag the tonal policy of Preeident Lincoln, by which, through aid extended by the General Government to such slave States as may initiate measures for the emancipation of their slaves, we may hope, at some future and not distant day, to be delivered forever from the tom et slavery. Unless the country can rely upon the establishment of these principles in the administration of the Go vent meet, the defeat of the rebellion will give us neither in demnity for the past nor security for the Ninrll- We oppose, therefore, any peace which shall leave In doubt the power of the General Government to maintain its rightful authority, and to quell any rebellion, however great, and which shall leave tie material ability of thin treason but partially broken and subrinel, Ana when the end of unstcriui oporatioan Khali come, Ise op• pose any terms of peace which shall recognize any division of the Union, any concession to the political demands of the slaveholding interest, or any acknow ledgment of their claims upon the General Govern mutt, &sent suck ac ace dlatiackly cont,r,--a or odonc ted by the terns of the Constitution. When the war is closed, we demand freedom of speech and of the press in every Slate and in every section of the common Union. Wo demand that the citizens of each State shall be enti tled to all tho privileges and immunities of citizen in the several States. And while tee proclaim anew our solemn purpose to stand by the Constitution of the United Suttee, and to respect all its provisions and ail its guarantees, we demand such a construction of those provisions as shall COIIIOIM to its essential spirit ; and not, by converting It into an instrument for Die aggrand.ir_ement and p.rpetua ton of human slavery, pervert it from its original pur pose to "form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common de face, promote the general welfare, and secure the him- Inge of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." We car, tee but one way of attaining these results, and that is, by sustaining the present National Administra tion in its efforts to reach them. The Administration of Preeident Lincoln has thus far been ebartActerilmj by integrity, nuct , ompolled to encounter dangers and difficulties of the most formidable character, it has met them with finances and prudence. It has averted the perils of foreign war without any sacrifice of the national horror, and ints .9 , :11MA1r 4 1 against treason, corruption, end eecref evneptrocrea at home, without any permanent or serious infringement of personal rights. Yet, in everything it has hitherto done, and in everything it proposes to do, fur the preservation of the Union and the restoration of the power and authority of the ljoestj hatch, It eikcovni.rs tie sealed howtiiiry or men Who claim to be Democrats, and who seek, by the perversion of the name of Democracy, and by the control of the or ganized imiebiLery of Cleat party, to defeat its policy and destroy its influence. We have no sympathy ror such a yoiron. Nor will we act with any party or eat of men who will pursue such an object, either by organized or individual action. under whatever guise, or with what ever pretext, or by whatever means, direct or indirect, that action may be taken. Aa good cillz‘r,,, led bound to resist end domes all such purposes, and we are unwilling to weshen our power for such an effort by any act which abet' divide our strength, or distract our counsels, or separate in the coming election those who agree in the principles and policy' we have thug gat forth. We cannot reconcile ourselves to the belief that the time has let come to revive the feuds and nistiuctions which oLce div.ded and embittered toward each other loyal men; "nor can we regard that man as a safe coun telior of QT Q9yfl nAIfDS )1110dfl ihoughta Nimbi be moiety jniiiVOCIIIVII bow the Cioutdituttun and liaerttea of the country may be best perpetuated and pre - served, but upon the restoration of distinctions and prejudices, the feuds and corruptions of an era that has gone never to return." The.,,, are, higher es,t holier duties that now demand all our energies. We are now fighting the great battle of the nineteenth century—the battle of freedom, pro greer, and constitutional right against oppression, ty ranny, and wri r.g. 'The stake is nothing less thyg thy slice .pa os fat ions of popul.r s overomeot and am insti lotions. In &Jenne of these great principles, our friends and comrades our sons and our brothers, have gone forth to the hitat-held, and are now offering up their lives. Thousands nave aheady gone to the soldier'l slid will its s veci oo %rim the bloody plain before this contest shall be closed. They fall, not in defence of their own homes or firesides, but in vindication of the rights of man—in support of that great theory of tree government which has found its borne upon our Western shore. We owe 16 to 011T1381f elbsslie DWO it to the memory of these brave men—we owe it to the friends of free go vernment throughout the world—that the sacrifices of these martyrs to the cause of liberty shalt not have been in vain, and that the fruits of this dire struggle WWI got be b,,,b to ite...,e6g millions -who shalt ;van its - MOM or emulate its example. We bad thus set forth, fellow-Mb:ens, as briefly as possible, the motives which have controlled us hitherto, and the leading principles and purposes by which our action will he marled bursaries_ W, . dente upon the support of our constituents. We believe the great mass of people of this State, without distinc tion of party, will concur in the sentiments we have thus set forth, and will co-operate in measures essential to give them effect, And as one of these mammon is har_ molly of political action, and MIRY of political counsels, among all such in the elections of the corning fall, we appeal to those whom we address, Republicans, Union. Democrats, and all other loyal men who support the Ad- IllillialTatiOD and assent to the principles and ptirposes of this address, and the resolutions by which It is itecom- Panted, to waive all (111CBtiOUS of mere form and usage in political action, and to elect delegates from each Assem bly district 01 this State, to meet in convention at a time end place to he hereafter designated, for the nomination of Stale officers, and for such other Luslness as may be brought before than. ReSolsed, That the present rebellion had its origin in the determination of Southern politicians to control, by political strategy or by force, the foreign and do. meetly, of the General Government ' and that they found their pretext for a resort to arms in the election of Abra ham Lincoln to be President of the United States, which demonstrated their permanent and hopeless defeat, so far as legitimate and peaceful measures are coussyilsal, R;e,doed, That we fvvegitiae its an im — pirativo duty that ad patriots and friends of their country should cheer fully and cordially co-operate with each other in rallying to the support of the Government, and in rendering such aid and assistance to the Administration as may be it their-power, and the( we pieade 018 F 00PP0T1 W 11110 Go vernment in whatever lawful measures of punishment or repression it may find it necessary to apply to persons arrayed, or property employed, in rebellion against the Government, to the end that the rebellion may be put down, that the Cottetittitiou may 1,0 sad that the war in which we are engaged may he brought to an honorable, a speedy, and successful issue. Resolved, That white we earnestly desire an early and honorable adjustment of our national difficulties, that we are °muted to any hollow tenon, 868 IkhY ZOLO B 4-omlee, which shall give us preeetit peace at the expense of the future safety or honor of the nation; and that we will consent to no sheathing of the sword nor cessation of the conflict until armed rebellion shall be effectually put down, end the authority of the Government and the Con. stitntion, in their full force and vigor, be fully re-Ma -welted in every State and Territory of the Union; and that ne are unalterably opposed to any division of the Union, or to any permanent suspension of the local iioTerfigAH Of the SeYentl btistes which compote it, Resolved, That we approve of the action of the Con gress of the United Stated in initiating the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and of the message of the President to the national Congress, offering pecuniary aid to such of the slave States as Will elligUelPlie their alayes, and iTe pledge ourscil : Cs s 0 the adoption of this policy so far as the same wisp be practicable. - Resolved, That we regard the Administration of Pre sident Lincoln, in its conduct of the war against the re. hellion, in its intercourse with foreign Powers, and in Its &.ne.ral enyeraislon of the domestsc eofaire of the country, as having been characterized by eminent ability, patriothro, and success; that it has met the unprece dented difficulties it has had to encounter with thumeee and prudence, and that it is entitled to the support and coefolenee of all loyal people of the United &owe, viloh• out distinction of party. Resolved, That we cannot too severely condemn that spirit, nor denounce those men who have sought, or who now seek, to make personal profit front the necessities of the Govetiament. or who have availed themaeleee of Its wants and calamities, and of their opportunities or official position, to plunder its property or abuse its trusts; and, to the end that peculation, corruption, and dishonesty may be banished from each and every department of the Qtrfellittlealt we pledge 011retifts that, in the timid. ment and ruction Of all agents and officers, civil or mili. tory, State or national, we will recognize but one test of merit or qualification among loyal men, and that shall be the Jeffersonian requisite: .."1 he capable l Is he ho. nest 1 Is he faithful to the Conatitution l" olfffotiCfh 3bat t u preeent wants and expenditures of the Government emphatically call for the most rigid and scrupulous honesty and economy in the administration of its affairs. Officers and agents should be held to the strictest accountability . and all dishonesty, extrava gance, awl fraud, should be AtiPtifillt-11j , aiid ished, since in no other way can the heavy burdens which now threaten the people be alleviated or averted. Resolved, That for the purpose of carrying into effect at the coming election the principles and policy thus set forth, we recommend that a State Convention be held for the nontination of State sincere to be stibeetted at the election next fall; that all Republicans, Union Demo crats, and other loyal citizens, supporters of the policy of the Administration, and responding to tho principles mid Wiley set forth in the address and resolutions herewith submitted, be invited to unite in the election of three delegates from each Assembly district to each conven tion, and that the following persons be appointed a committee to designate (idler proper deliberation and conanitation with the animates:ref any organization in this Mete whom co , operation we hope to obtain) the time and place of holding it, and to arrange such other preliminary details as may be necessary.
