PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 28, 18ti3. The Recognition of the Rebellionv ur/i),nf ffi tie iiuiißß w fi&MIMr -■ A. .FU L L KB POUT. The following iB a. full report of the debate that took plaoe in the English House of Commons, upon" the motion of Mr. Roebuck, in favor of the recogni tion of the Southern Confedcrftcy : ■ Mr. Roebuck said: Sir, I riae for the purpose of moving that this order be now.read. in order that it, may be .discharged. [Cheer's.] I brought forward the motion under the-feeling, that I was abeut to ask the House to take astep which would be likely to put an end to-the terrible carnage now going on in America, and .which would also De of advantage. to the conimerciaTinthreats of Great Britain.- [Hear,. hear.] Formakmg&thiß motion Ihave been sub-: jected to much came from a very, noisy, and not very" wise' party, [laughter, and “hear, hear,’ 5 ] and I ; must say. that my present tietermina-v tion has not been influenced thereby. Thejioble lord at the head of the Government, however, has - stated that the continuance of the debate would be. an impediment in the way of the good government r of the country. Feeling that respect.which is-due t t o the noble lord's belief and wishes, I have induced., my honorable friend opposite.{♦lr., Linda Ay) to fore-' gb his' own 'desire in the matter, when;, the: noble lord sat down on ‘ Friday -last' he- and jT were perfectly, -or, at least, very nearly satisfied with what the noble lord had stated rfhearjrand if nothing more^had(been said there-would haV3& been an end of‘tfifeThatter. But, sir, official arrows gance is a plant ofpartioularly rapid growth. [A laugh, and “Hear, Hear.?’] . The XJnder-Secretary for Foreign Affairß. brought a, charge against myl iilionorable friend; which he thought his; honor called, on him to'answfer. A Uttle cool reflection taught-? him that -insinuations- like-these,-codling ff&in* a,j quarter such .as this, did not need tOibe regarded.'*! [ u Oh,”. and “ Heaiyhear.V] ,My honorable friend; then felt that the considerations submitted by,; the; noble lord at the head of the Government were sfr’ grave that he should fiot ; give: way to anyVfeel-' ing, on his own part, of wounded pride, aslmay call it, and should, solely regard, the interest of .his ; 'country,aB pointedputbythe noblelord. [“‘Hear’,’- hear. 15 ] And-now, sir, when the- matter' isr about* 1 . to pass .entirely from my. control and my deal;’ , infli with it thirfi .ii one obisrirgtion I /mane to-the Dome lorn, se nas, at tne preaent womens the greatest TCTjponiwWnty outlie Blroultiuisi 1 ] It has been said that the timehas not yet come for the consideration of this question;. ,;I have yielded to that suggestion, but\let the noble lord bear in mind that there are two dangers before us which the Government and the country will have. to meet. There is the possibility .of a .reconstruc tion Of the 'Union upon a Southern basis, and there iB the possibility of an acknowledgmeatof the Con federate South by the Emperor of the French alone. - These are two great dangers for'England. [“No,” ;and “Hear v hear.”] The noble lord will;! have no. doubt, with his long experience,; fully justify the cobfidenceofthe people, inhis consideration of these two great jcjuestions. Tleavethem,.sir, without lie-, sitation, in his hands, though. I must say. that my own feelings are against the withdrawal of this sub ject at the present time from the consideration of/ the House. English interests, it-seems to me, de-i mand the decision ofthe House, aiid.itia only under a teeDng of great respect for the noble lord that,l now withdraw my motion. [Hear, bear/} Mr. Lindsay. . Sir, I wish to say only a very few. words. There seems to have been, some great mis understanding on this question. The motion now to be withdrawn is'to the effect that the House in vites her Majesty to enter into negotiations with other Powers for the recognition-ofthe Southern States of North America. That motion stood on the paper for about. six weeks. I heard a rumor ten days or so before tbe motion was to come on that the Emperor of the French had ohaoged his mind on this question. How that tumor originated I?know not, but it was very general. I did not, how ever, pay any„attention;. Jo it'. .'My honorable.friend • also.heard it, and dropped The a .note asking me to .ascertain, if I c'ould, what truth there wasin it,'be cause, as he. said, it was very important-that he should know, lest when he brought forward hiß mo tion eoihe member Of the government should vise --and aßk, “ What Ts; the good of this motion, when ' one. of the prepared tojoin in a recognitioh of the South ?’* - My honorable friend added that be would like very well to see the Em peror and feam the fact from himself.

[A laugh, and “hear; hear.”] That was upon the 19 th of June— a Saturday. : I replied that in my opinion tife note would Tbe enough, ; and that the House ( would -believe it had come from an authoritative .source; -■ but the honorable and learned gen tl ema n P dtfifcpp,r -! sisted in his desire to go to Paris, I .had no'r^fahio • intrude myself upon theEinperor, bTit, aB ;able and learned friend was his intentions from his Majesty himeeifjand as I shared the anxiety to see this motion .carried, I accompanied my honorable friend; atgreatihcqavenience.to Paris; An audience, was at once granted to us j but I pre* • sume,the House does not for a moment suppose that 1 would make public any which the; ; Emperor of the French -has. been pleased .toehold; with me, either at that interview or any. other, with j out his permission. [Hear, hear,] During tharcon-" . versation, which lasted a considerable time, my honor able and learned friend pointed out to the Emperor * the importance of having it clearlyunderstoodthafc if it should be the pleasure of her to pre pare to negotiate with him, he would be prepared to .entre into that negotiation, and my honorable and learned friend asked that he might be permitted 'to * make a . statement to- that effect. His Majestyre plied, “take any means you]think proper to let it be known that I am prepared to negotiate, 1 , cfad that there is no truth in the rumor- prevalent : in England.” All the . Emperor. meant waß that if the House of' Commons should: pray, her Majesty to address him on the subject of reoog* nitionof the Southern States/he would be only too bappy to enter into negotiations with that object j believing, as he did, that if the great Powers of Ed* rope thought it advisable to recognize the Southern Confederacy, the moral'efftect would be such as to stay the terrific carnage now going • on -in Americi. That is the substance of what took place. For my part; I.was quite satisfied with the statement ofthe noble lord at the head of the Government on Friday evening, although, as the House is aware, the course pursued by my honorable and learned friend has been the Bubjectoi much comnientr in the public ities. We. are all exposed to remarks of that kind, ajid, though we feel we have not done wrong, are.oblired to bear'with them. X did not-pay a great deal of attention to the comments of the 1 press in the pre sent instance, and, after the: statement of the noble: lord bn Friday evening, and-';the very few wordß I offered in reply, it was my wish that this very deli cate matter should be allowed-to-drop. But the Under SecretaryforForeignAffbirs did not seem ataU satisfied; in fact, he appeared to>be quite dissatisfied with what his noble chief had said. He must riise some fresh matter, must taunt me, as the orgai.s ofthe Government have done, with beinganamateurdiplo . m&list—a special envoy—and must read me a moral lesson, telling me to take care not to falT into the same trap again. [Cheers and-; laughter. ] I think the remarks of the honorable gentleman were upcalled for after, the ,statement which the ri,cbie lord at the head of the Governmenirhad.made to the/ House. [Cheers.]! The noble lord- had said that no one had any right to cavils at the course whichlmy honorable and learned friend and 31 had taken. IHe . had stated that :her Majesty’s-Government; were yell aware that for-the last three years and a half I bad been laboring in a-very importanfrquestion.—a ques tion of great'interest to the people of-this couatry as well as to, the people of France in regard tojtiie • maritime relations between the two countries,and . that 1 had been not merely vith their knowledge, but at their wish and with their . • sanction. [Hear, hear.]*; I may now fltate thajdu*. ling the whole time.li waaengaged id that busineSsl . never said anything:to any one on the subject. J’he ' fact never crossed my lips tfiat l had had the honor of seeing either the Bmperor-or .his I labored for the; good of my country in. a cpiot' and unostentatious manner for three years and a half. [“Hear,-hear,”' and : a laugh.] If I 1 am an amateur who made me one? It iyaa her Majesty’s Government, of which the Undersec retary is a member. [Ohenrs;} It was they who sent Tne to Paris and deßired me* to do the-work which they.ought to have done themselves. [Oheers.l Of course, during the interviews with/which I war fa vored, the Emperor was pleased to apeak to me on various subjects.- but-I invariably reported erery word to her Majesty >a ambassador at Paris [alaugh,] and I invariably toldi the Emperor that what he might be pleased»to say to me would be so commu nicated to Lord.; Cowley. [Hear, hear.] The Under secretary said on Friday evening that on one occa sion I waß sent heme on a special mission by the Emperor, but that he received - a telegram dicting the statement! made. Who was that-tele gram Horn? Was it from the Emperor orany of;hls Ministers 1. If so, it was pasßing strange. But lam not going :to explain, the circumstances; they are far too delicate to*be handled in this House; I have always.been anxious to maintain the friendly rcla tions between >the;Governmehts of the two coun ' tries, and would be the last -to ! say or do : anything that would cause any. misunderstanding between the Emperor of the French and her Ministers. mending PROVIDENCE, R.

[“ Hear, hear.”] ' Mr; Newdegate again rose to address the House, but he was interrupted by The Spkakkr, who added: -And, as what I have now said appears to receive the sanction of the- House, it is the duty of'tho honorable member to acquiesce in it.

[Hear, hear.] No one ever heard a whisper from me of any .conversation I have- had with the Emperor of the French until the 23d of last month, when, incidentally, T obtained liberty .to. make certain statements. I have refrained from making.; .those statements, and will not make them. . now. ,1 will rather bear the reproaches of tLe Under secretary than let one word fall'from,my lips that would, tend to disturb, in however slight a:degree, the harmony which is generally supposed: to. exisi between her Majesty’s Government arid the Empe ror of the French [cheers and -laughter}, and which really, exists between the ,Emperor ofthe French and. the people of England,[Cries of. “,Oh!’ v and cheers], Unleßß her .

It was on ; the hubjeot of Ame rican affaire, and related to. the past, but had refer ence alao to the future. I listened to what the Empe ror said to me with considerable pain. He asked me particulurly.toreport the conversation to Lord Cow ley. . I said tbat lvWaa to dine with Lord Cowley, the same evening/and would probably have an op-, portunity of speaking to him. I had not that op portunity, but.at parting I told Lord: Cowley that the me to repeat a conversa tion to him!". 5 OH the following morning ! repeated to Lord ,Cowley the whole of the, conversation, and i then ITsaid to him, in the mosti “Now, in sendingnotesoftheconveraatiori. to Earl Bussell, take care to state in the clearest possible W the IBMOUII why the Empetot hM been flawed TUE3DAY, JULY 38, 1863. to have this conversation with me ; there must be no misunderstanding on that point.” I said to Man . further, that the Emperor had asked me to return to him with any remarks which hiß lordship might be . § leased, to make upon the conversation held by his . lajesty with me. [A. laugh.] I had invariably considered it my duty to report to Liord Cowley anything which the Emperor might be pleased; to - say to me, bflt I had never reported to the Emperor any thing which Lord Cowley Baid to me. '[Laugh ter.] Honorable members may laugh, but they will • see the bearing of tbls presently.

I felt a great deliea'oy when that request Was made to me [a laugh], and said that Lord Cowley had re ported, the conversation already to Earl Bussell. It • is exceedingly unpleasant to me to be obliged to make these , statements. I came from Paris, and l was not allowed an v opportunity of repeating the to Earl Bussellor the zioble lord at the •head of the Government, [Laughter.] A corres- Sondence passed!

Therefore, if it be the case, as. the honorable member says, that he received a telegram" «by order of the Emperor such as he described; why > did his Majesty, when I returned to Paris, not say, U I can’t see.you'?” Tf I had been. the imprudent person, the. busybody that the honorable gentleman tried to/make me .out, what would-have/been the Emperor’s;message for me when I went to Paris 1 "Why, this—“ Tell that gentleman when he calls that I am not at-home.*?’-fLaughter.] .Therefore, it' is ..verystrange in4eed;if the .honorable Under-Secre tary received 5 the telegfam he spoke of."

At the. same-time I wish to '"impress upon their minds and upon the minds of the House that the proceeding which they have adopted is .most irregular,- to/use no stronger language, • The.British Parliament is accustomed to " ieceivVinesßages,and communications * from the So vereign of the United Kingdom; but we are in no‘ relation to/we have no intercourse with, no official-' knowledge of, any Sovereign of any foreign country.

Sovereign or the Goverhmjent of any foreign/ State, unless sue h ° communications are made by the responsible Minis /• ter/of the Crown in-consequence of official commu nications held by order of a foreign Government with the British Government. [Hear,’hear:] If the Emperor of the French and the Queen or. England have any communications to make to each other, : the Emperor has his - ambassador in : London, and the Queen; has her ambassador in Paris. Those ambassadors .are the; proper , organa for Buch com munications. Sovereigns and Governments-com municate with Sovereigns and Governments— [hear, hear,]—but they don’t communicate with the. Legislatures ol other countries: [Hear, hear,] If either the Emperorofthe French or the.

[Hear, h'ear:] "Thcrefdre, nothing can . be so Irregular as: proceedingsrof this sort, and for this obvious reason—setting aside the constitutional objection, I hold to be very grave—[Hear, hear]—that when the Minister for Foreign Affairs * at Paris, or my noble friend at the head of the Fo reign.-Office here, .makes a communication to the country; that communication is made by a responsi ble minister, who; Js'bound to take, care that that which .he states is an accurate descriptUmof the communication which it is intended* to make/ahd' ho question can at any time arise as to the authen-v ticity of the.

[Hear, hear.] I think it right, therefore, topln.ee it upon record, as far as a statement ia this' •House can do so, that the proceeding is utterly ir« regular* and !trusj; itwill never.be drawn into a precedent: [Che era.l /l/don’t in the least find faulf with my honorable. friends Tor communicating s with the Emperor on any matter on . which they think >.they ought to do so; (duly they ought to have fol lowed the course which my honorable friend; the* member for Sunderland,'said, befollowed on a former occasion, namely, that of communicating to ■ Lord that wbichhad been stated to them, and that which'it was important to make known to the Go vernmen t. ’My honorable friend; the member for - Sunderland, said, very truly, he had been in com munication with the Emperor of thp French for the last ..three years on subjects connected with com-- merce and navigation*/-He/rather. implied that he was employed by her Majesty’s Government for that purpose./That is not exactly the case. [A laugh, and “hear, hear.”] /The.honorable member stated that he - was going to Paris, and thought, from .his •/, commercial ■knowledge and hia acquaint ance With navigation, that he might be able to con vey to the Emperor information whichmightbe use ful to hiih as a foundation for his measures. He stated that to me'and-to my noble friend at the head of theiForeign Office, and we said, “ We should be very glad that you should do that.’’ We did not ask him to do it. He offered and we accepted *[a laugh], and we gave hiih an introduction tb Lord (Jotvley in orderthat he might'procure-access to the Emperor for /that.purpose. So far, what he did was perfectly regular, w,ell considered, and founded on the best in tent ions; Of course my honorable friend has In form htion which we have not in the same detail, and from his own practical experience he could give usefuMnfomation to ;tbe;Emperor; with a view to the framing of future legislation on the French maritime code. But then my honorable friend'went on to say that, having returned to this country, he offered to communicate to my noble friend and myself the result of his communications with the Emperor, and that he got a letter from me, which was written, X think, from the country. As far as t can recollect, for I have not refreshed my 'memory by looking at that letter, I have no doubt that what I then stated was what I state now—viz* that if the Emperor of the French, in consequence ofHtherepresentations and information laid before him bymy honorable friend, had any proposal to make to the British Govern ment, that proposal ought to come-through some . responsible channel; either through the Emperor’s ambassador here or through our ambassador at Paris.' It is not the habit of the English'Govern ment to carry onwhat may be called a macy. -[Hear, hear.]- We have public and 1 official organs of communication with foreign Powers; and/ I think it highly objectionable to have private com munications: made through : individual members touching those matters which ought/to be the sub ject of official communications. That; was what I stated, I trust; courteously, to my honorable friend ; and that was' the reason why/I thought it better that we should not receive any communication com ing from -the/Emperor/through him/ I did not intend to offer any discouragement, to the useful exertions, of my honorable friend in seekingtoinfuse more liberal principles into the. French Govern ment. ;:T simply meant to saythat it is highly objectipnablej:for ;her Majesty’s Government to be employing private : persons,: however ho norable "or intelligent, in carrying on. com munications with foreign Governments, - instead .of'conducting them through the official and le • gitimate, organs. * This case is; entirely > different , from that of my honorable friend the member for Bochdale, because he was employed by the Govern ment to negotiate in' concert with our amhaveador. at Paris ;.and although, he was too high*minded to ‘ receive, any actual appointment or salary, he* was . deadly a diplomatic agent, employed, specifically by. the Government for a special purpose. My, honor able friend, the member for- Sunderland, did'not /holdsthat character. Hewas a private gentleman going to Paris to give information* which he pos^ .. Eessed ih' an eminent degree; and which, would be veiy useful ;-but hc. was not employed by. the vernment, and, therefore, I< thought, and* my noble friend ;also~thp.ught; it was. not desirable that we should have backward and forward .communications , between her Majesty’s Government-'and the Bm peror of the French through my. honorable friend. 1 should hope, sir, that- this discussioh: might-end here. [Hear, hear.], I : think my.- honorable and . learned friend is-.right inrth&decision.he has.taken; andl trust we shall have no further-debate-as to what was said by-.th&Emperor; or whaf wa&said by my honorable friends. My ‘honorable- friend said that if the Emperor had thought him a*busybody, the. next: time the knocked at ; the door ©f the Tuileries his/ Majesty might-say, “ Not at home.” [A laugh.]/ But I/thihk that these discussions in this House are notencouragingto'areadyopening of the door to those whose presence and whose opinions and information might , really be found . very useful. - [‘ 8 Hear, hear,” and laughter.

[Hear; hear.] HU:feelings to-. wards 'America, both Nofth.andjSoiith, were very different from those of the'; honorable. and learned / gentleman.

To the Editor of The Press Sir: In S'hePress of to-day (Saturday, July 25) I observe a .communication front'a Mr. L. L, Crounse reflecting severely- upon the hospitality and patriotism of the-people of Gettysburg and vi cinity. MrV C. complains, of a want, of enthusiasm-, on the part of the people of Gettysburg whenour victorious troops finally, entered, the town. With twenty thousand wounded soldiers arouad them*it. was no disparagement to their patriotism that their time; their services, their ;housea, and their means were first devoted to the alleviation of that great world of misery.i ,X think I but speak the universal sentiment of the gallant Army of the Potomac when I assert that the -loftiest ‘tribute which the people of Gettysburg could pay to its bravery was unremitting attention to the wants of the wounded and dying. .-vt.. /; ; Again, Mr,.C. complains that fewer national ban ners were displayed when ourvictorious troops pass edthrough, “than there have been on-many a cavalry gallopsde through the heart of Virginia.”, To this I reply.: Firs*, That a large portion L of the flags be longing to the citizens* hSd. been carried; off by the rebels previous td:the battle. Second, .That at'the time our army passed through, those who were still in the possession of flags, were ncarly all engaged in waiting upon the wounded; TAmi, That a citizen’s * loyalty is not always to be measured by the.display he makes"of national flags. Many a traitor shields' bis treason behind the flag of his country.: A word or two in regard to extortionate-prices.

T.he T'imes of that city says-they came from Philadelphia to Chicago nearly one year ago, and opened an establishment air the corner of Dear born and Randolph streets, under the name of the “London Rye. and Far Infirmary,” Reynolds was" a young Congregational clergyman, educated as a -“ medloal missionary” in the London University,, for the philanthropic work of saving the Chinese from that life of condign punishment which their numerous atrocities merited.

[From the Boston Advertiser, July 25, ] Although the financial policy of the Secretory of the Treasury has bees and still is the subject of some difference of opinion, we think that Mr. Chase can fairly claim to be recognized by all parties asan ac curate prophet of the increase of the public debt. Starting with a debt of $90,86X328 on the Ist of July r 1861, he estimated in his report made in December of that j ear that on the Ist of July, 1862; the debt would amount to $517,372,802. It&d, in fart/atthat • date, amount to $514:211,372, as appears by hie re port of December, 1862. In that document he esti mated that on the first day of the present month the AfgtwouldiWnountto increasing the lliXUt 4151.M11 MU. It now appean/ront^aleme^^ drawn from official sources, that the debt amounted, in fact, at the beginning of the current mooth to $1,097,274,366, an aDiiroximation which is truly ro markable, in an account of such vast magnitude. It might be entertaining to compare this singuJar ac curacy of prediction with so me of the .wild estimates-, made at a time of financial difficulty by the last of Mr, Chase’s predecessors under the old regimey Mr. Howell Cobb ; but such a comparison is not needed, either to establish Mr. Chase’s reputation for fore sight, or to depress that of Mr. Cobb. There is of course a certain amount of in debtedness still unliquidated, consisting of ar rears pay? to the army, and. to and of similar claims, which must beadded;to the amount above stated to give a precise statement of the position of the Treasury at this time. That amount is not large, however, and, it is esti mated, would notmake the amount vary materially from the estimate made by Mr. Chase last Decem ber. There was also an unliquidated debt of the same sort due from the Treasury at the same period .last year, at least equal in amount to the same class of indebtedness now outstanding. It follows, there fore, that the allowance to be made for claims of this sort does not materially affect the Accuracy of the Secretary’s prediction as to the rate at which the debt of the country would be found to increase. In deed, if it be thecaße, as wesuepfretythat the debt of this sort is now less than it was at the beginning of the last fiscal year, it will be seen the more dis tinctly that Mr. Chase is a prophet, whoße_errors fall on the safe aide, and that, so far from being too sanguine in his calculations, he prefers to overstate the probable obligations of the country, rather than deceive by too narrow an estimate. The general success of Mr. Chase’s calculations, and thefact that his errors tend to overshoot themark rather than fall short of it, are circumstances which glve'DO small weight to his estimate of the increase of the debt for the year which haswiow begun. In his report, made in December last, after making the estimate which has just been so: closely verified, he says that “on the supposition that the war may be continued with undimiDished disbursements until the -Ist of July, 1864, the debt likely to have been then incurred must be estimated at $1,744,685,587.” This, as it appears from the past experience with Mr. Chase’s estimates, may be taken as an “outside” calculation, showing the moßt that ia to he looked for in anyevent j qnd large as it is ? it fallß short im sscnßelyof-tlie gloomy yrcrttctaoiiq ofthc of the war, many of whom are fond of statins* the na tional debt, even now, at 11 two billions of dollars," upon elements of calculation best known to them selves, indeed, the aspect of the war iB now such as to warrant the hope that the condition of Mr. Chase’s prediction—that the war continues through the year “with undiminished disbursements”—may not oc cur, and that the Government expenditure may fall far short of hiß estimate. We do not enter now into the question how long the wai>.iB likely to last in some form or other, after the defeat of the great ; armies of the rebellion. It seems to us very clear, ; however, that the immense current of success which : has now Bet in favor of the Union is so breaking down the strength of the rebels, as to greatly in crease the probabilities that the Government will be able at ah early day to diminish its expenses. The theatre of war is being rapidly circumscribed within narrower limits, and the burden of the hos tilities is likely to be diminished in almost similar proportion. There is.therefore at leaßt ground for hope,.that in his next report the Secretary of the Treasury may see cause to diminish considerably his anticipations of the amount of our indebtedness at-this time next year. • \ ~ ’ • - —— Letter from Attorney-General Bates. At'a great Union meeting in St. Louis, an ad mira bleletter from Judge Bates was read. Acknowledg- compliment of invitation, the Judge wrote; Individuals may object (with whatever show of reason) to particular measures of the National and State Governments. But is it wise to quarrel about such questions now? Is it patriotic to waste our energies and destroy our power for good at a moment when the Constitution is in danger and our very na tionality is at stake? Is it loyal in men professing loyalty to wrangle and destroy eachOtherin bootless quarrels upon minor questions ofpolicy and pru• dence, for no good to any one but the. common ene my? I think not. Atauchatime asthis ifcis not meet for every nice-offence to bearits own comment. Let us, then, first labor with united heart and hand for the restoration of the Government of the Nation and the State. When that is done—when order and peaceful labor have returned to bless us—when jus tice once more flows in the even channels of the law —then the people will have ample opportunity and convenient means 'quietly to settle all disturbing questions of policy according to their deliberate will. Until then, I am fully perßuaded.that prudence and patriotism-alike require us zealously and patiently, to sustain both the Governments in all their mea* sures intended (whether wisely or unwisely, as we may happen to think), for the restoration of peace, and order, and law. . To oppose the Governments now, is to oppose the country itself, for they are our only representatives of the Nation and the State. To destroy them is to' rush headlong into anarchy; and to- degrade and weaken them, is to give aid and comfort to the enemy. Such opposition nqw, under all the perilous circumstances which surround us, seems to me fac tious in, character and revolutionary, in,tendency: and if it could be, successful (which, thank God, it. cannot); it would, in all probability, lead to-a revo lution bloodier that any. we have yet seem For the last-three’ yearß th'e people of Missouri have been stirred and maddened by the fiercest passions*. • Vio lence and war ,have disturbed every section of the Statej- and a painful -feeling: of insecurity has 'per vaded the whole body politic. Now, the one thing needful for us is repose. And to what earthly power can we look for repose, but, to the lawful Govern ments of the nation and the State?’ Rally, then, to the flag that .they bear, and sustain them with alh your power. So long as they act harmoniously to gether, for a common end,-mutually sustaining each other, and backed by your united support, they may bid defiance to all friends or avowed enemies. h Even this perilous crisis-cannot wholly suppress the pernicious spirit of party nor tame the reckless passion of political amhitioni lam persuaded that a large portion of the opposition to particular mea : sures of both the Governments, and more than half ' the‘ denunciations against the President’and the Governor spring from an eager desire and a precon* xerted plan to organize parties with a view to.the coming Presidential election.. Time will aho w.whe ther lam right or. wrong in this surmise; The pre sent time seems to me the most unfortunate-for the ; agitation of disturbing questions among loyal men. The tide of war has just turned, victory has crowned: . our army in the lower Mississippi. The great river is-open, and now its commerce will flow as free as waters, to the gulf, and all of us will feel the -iranquilizing and invigorating effect of the- great achievement. No doubt both the Governments have committed errors and mistakes ;it would be a miracle if it were not so. Still, let us not indulge in carping censures, nor be drawn into profitless and dangerous-opposi tion, until have finished their : good work. Then, when our flag floats in peace oyer every acre of our” territory, and we have returned to our-ac customed modes of thought and aetion, all honest differences among the people may be safely Bottled 1 in the tranquil method of the Constitution; James Monroe on tlie Power of the Gene ral Government'to Draft, The disasters that attended our arms in>lBl3-aml 1814 rendered it necessary-to adopt other measures* to form a new,army, and President Madison recom mended to Congress in his message'that entire de pendence on the militia be discarded, that' the regu lar army he filled up, and 100,000 men be raised by a draft to-be ordered by" the General Government. Then, as now, it : was urged that- the regular- army could be filled only by. voluntary enlistments, and 1 that the Government had no power to draft; This* position was met by Secretary l ©! State Monroe aa< follows: “ Congress has a. right,:iby, the Constitution,, to raise regular armies, and.no restraint is imposed in the exercise of it, except in the provisions which are intended to guard against the abuse of powerj with none of which does this plan interfere.•»lt would, be absurd to suppose' that Congress- eould not carry this power into effect otherwise than by accepting the voluntary service of individuals. It mighfc hap* pen that an army.could. not be raised in-that mode, whence the power would-have been granted in vain. “ The'safety of the State might depend-on' such an>, army. ,The f idea that th@> United States cannot raise a regular army in any other mode than by accepting the voluntary service of individuals' is* believed to be repugnant to the "aniform- construction- of all grantsof powers andequally bo to the ■ first princi-- pies and leading objects.of the Federal compact.
