But few trials for treason have ever oe urred in this country, and a large propor on of the cases have resulted in the am,- uittal of the defendants. From the nature our instiintions great freedom of opinion, d even of what in monarchial countries ould be construed into treasonable action, a s been tolerated and encouraged. A. cople who frequently choose new rulers t ast have a fair opportunity to discuss the etions of those who are, and those who (hire to be, their law-makers and Exseu. "sts. It is not always easy to draw the sort line between patriotic and treason ble opposition to an Administration. ,T wo en may perform the same act, or use the :me language, and one be animated s a good and the other by a bad put tee. But it 'ls nevertheless necessary r the saft!ly and security of society, d for the preservation of the very free em to which we have ref-rred, that all tempts to overthrow by force and vio nee our Givernment, or to subvert the ws by revolutionary measures, should e sternly checked and severely punished. republic is the best form of govern tent, but an anarchy is the worst. The ost fearful fate that can befall a nation is have its destinies controlled by the . prices of armed mobs, or shaped and sif sted by malty and desperate conspirators. f defeated minorities were permitted to els , the popular will at pleasure, and to secede" whenever they could not gain , over, the elective system, of which we are stly proud, would become a scourge in cad of a blessing. One gigantic attempt perpetrate this crime has been made on scale that has shaken the very foundations f the nation We should spare no pains make it the last, as it was the first, great hellion. It is not enough to beat down armies. We must punish its leaders, d show that treason can be combated ,ccessfully in our civil courts as well as the tented geld. The intention and meaning of the Con. ilution in defining that offence are clear ouch. If the rulings of judges are some hat doubtful and conflicting, and tlie al judicial interpretation of the cbllateral estions, which are certain to arise in MOIL trials, unsettled, it is time that they could be authoritatively settled now, at a rind when the public mind is keenly 'ye to the dangers of civil war. We ould have no judge disgrace his office by shameless disregard of precedents, and the usual systems of interpretation. ut where the scales are evenly balanced technical points, the welfare of the ruerican people demands that all the new eights of this era should be thrown on the - e of National protection. If there are tiling, it is far better that they should be lved in a way that will promote the fin est of thirty millions of people than that ey should furnish pretexts for the escape blood-dyed criminals, and for the en uragement of new generations of traitors .reafter. Our existing laws against eason arc amply sufficient to secure its ,Lishment, if they are interpreted accord g to the spirit of the common law upon hich they are partially founded, or the . cisions orthe Supreme Court of the lied States. But there has nevertheless en some subtle reasoning on the bench, in to the Secession logic with which our nate Chamber has too often resounded. will be better now and hereafter if the e spirit of loyalty which is predominant .ong the people, and which is so power- ly exhibited in the Executive and Legis ive branches of the Government, should o find fitting exponene in the jndiciary this we have no fears. The Lone Star no Longer Alone.

It mains only for the people to strive, by in eased industry and energy, to repair the •cuniary loss that it has caused, and for e Government to complete the work of organization and secure the punishment of e leading offeaders.

LETTER F 4 R011 , 1 "OCCASIONAL.), WAMINGTON, June 2, 1865. Wendell Phillips' late demonstration on gro suffrz, ge, and against President John aa for not recommending it, is character tic: That uneasy spirit was not satisfied ith the Administration of Mr. Lincoln ; w, then,. could he be pleased with that Andrew Johnson ? The first' was de uneed long before he had a trial, and most before he had a chance to act ; d the second is doubtless to be sub ated to the same querulous and die terial temper. It is in vain to reason ith men of this school. Four years ago it a few of them would have been wil g to see the Union divided, if that would ve saved bloodshed and made the free ales a separate free empire ; and many of cm would have gratefully compromised even a partial abolition of slavery, if 'at could have been achieved without ar. I do not question that Mr. Mips is a very sincere man, only - he s an odd way of showing it. Beve -1 years since he came here to Wash glon with his friend, Major George. earns, of Boston, and called together a mber of leadiae men at his lodgings, here, after a pleasant collation, he pro piled to scold them with that easy and 'Parlor air which he knows so well how assume. The result was, a very square otestandum from some gentlemen, who, 'Weyer willing to drink Major Stearns' , ampagne, were not so ready to digest Dr. 1 Mips' bitter pills. Now we have this same nonage complacently advising the re- I elation of the entire war debt because esident Johnson has suggested that the , estion of suffrage should be remitted to, kept with, as in all other cases, the peo le of the States of the South preparing to some their relations to the National Go rnment. Such a proposition from any her quarter would be denounced as more hn treasonable. Coming from Mr. Phil 5, however, it must be received as the , unsel of a very eccentric and most practicable theorist .= a man who, rely agreeing with his own friends, even ch old anti-slavery men as Wm. Lloyd arreson and Gerritt Smith, cannot be ex cted to agree with practical statesmen Andrew Johnson. The easiest thing the world it is to find fault. The Mils aua Mr. Lincoln had hie own sad expe tate of the truth'of this remark; for he lined that those who indulged in failt ding never sy,mpathized with the re- Gusibilities of the ruler, bat really tried increase therm This is a world of fatts ? •t fancies. Slavery has not been abolished A speeches, but by bulletst. It never ould have been seriously touched; nay, Would to day stand a dominant and de 'M. Power if the war upon it had 'en conducted by such philoSOphers as VOL. 8.-NO. 263. Wendell Phillips. Nor is suffrage to be secured to the negro by the disc-onivation of revolutionary ideas, whether they come from Mr. Phillips or from others. That it it will be secured, and that, in my opinion, it ought to he secured, by some process, which will not end in injury to the blacks and in damage to the Government, I have not a doubt. I can well appreciate the eager desire of earnest men to coun teract the influence of the returning rebels at future elections in the South ern States, and I know that this is one of their main reasons for insisting that the colored men of that section should be secured the right of suffrage as the surest set-off to that influence. But you cannot force the matter. Indeed, it may be gravely questioned whether any action of the President would give the blacks their rights at once ; and whether, if so given, it might not be the cause of serious troubles among the Southern loyal whites, who, left to themselves, would op poi timely confer it according to the mode suggested by the President, if in their judgment it would . seem to be neces sary. Emancipation did not come to us at once. Hoped for, prayed for, even demanded, as an instant incident of the war, at the beginning, it came gra dually, as that great instrument of God's providence, Abraham Lincoln, obeyed the Divine inspiration ; but it came surely, and it is now an irrevocable blessing. As to the question of colored suffrage, which Mr. Phillips and some others demand as a right, and denounce President Johnson for not forcing in the Southern States, let us not forget the obstacles to an indiscrimi nate bestowal of it. I believe that every colored man who has fought for the flag should be clothed with the right to vote for it. But I know hundreds of intelli gent colored men who unhesitatingly doubt thd expediency of giving this right to all their illiterate brethren of the South. These masses must be trained for a series of years before they are fully equal to a responsibility, which, con ferred at - once, may be used by tlieir worst foes for their own selfish ends. How is it in Massachusetts, the State of Wendell Phillips ? If there is on God's footsfool a perfect Government, it is that of Massa chusetts. However considered or criticised, it is the best type of a Republic. Its col leges, schools, hospitals, prisons, churches, rauuicipalities, its learned men, its acade mies of arts , and sciences, its streets, railroads, agriculture, and commerce, combine to make it worthy of all eulogy and of universal emulation. Rut no colored man, and no white Man, can. vote in Massachusetts unless he can read and write. I would not insist upon this as 8 condition precedent in the South ern States, in view of the real benefit to be secured and the future danger to be averted by giving the negroes there the weapon of the ballot. But 1 certainly would not reject the example of Massachusetts, nor rush into abuse of President Johnson because he refers the whole question to the States themselves. Whenever Congress can act on this question they ought to act. I do not think they should refuse to admit Senators and Representatives from North Carolina because the colored men of that State have not voted in the prior elections. But lam clear that the intelligent colored been of the District of Columbia should be made voters by the next Congress. As a body I do not know a more useful, faith ful, and industrious class of citizens, and they would prove to be an element of strength and security to the National Capi , tel in many respects. Congress eau cto tuts great work legitimately and properly, and the people will applaud it ; and in good season the whole country will come under the same system, till the once difficult problem of enlightened freedom is for evel• settled and solved.

In endeavoring to account for the present and fin tore price of gold, a new element must be taken into maculation, tin the state of the European market in respect to our national securities. The latest advices from the other Side report that five- twenties bad not advanced on the London Stock Exchange up to the 20th Inst., but.olosed at 82 @S4 on the afternoon of that day—a deoline of about one per cent. from the previous quotations received on this side. The ateamor Africa, which left Boston on the 10th nit., did not arrive at Queenstown till the 21st. she carried the news cf the decline or gold to laim on that day, 141 M having been the lowest price reported by the previous steamer. It is • rumored that a considerable amount of five-twenty bonds have been returned by the Persia, on amount of parties both here and in Europe, the difference be tween the price in London and New York showing *wonderful profit to the importer. The itwo pre ceding steamers are said to have brought about half a million of the bonds. The next few steamers may bring some more of our securities ; but on the re ceipt of the news of }Orb; Smith's surrender, thus terminating the rebellionwest as well (mean of the Mississippi, prices In Europe will be likely to adjust themselves more closely to tepee current in outown markets, so as to leave speculators no room for what at present 18 regarded as a smart operation. Or ders for several millions of five twenties under limits have been sent by bankers in this country to their foreign. correspondents; so it is probable that most of those returned to us will be on American and not European account. The New York Herald argues with much plausP bility that it is unfortunate in its practical cone' quer ova that our securities ever found their way into the European market, for the holders have the power at any time to derange the course of our ex-. changes, and thereby affect the price or gold, while they are already a constant Source of financial disturbance. Eventually they,must influence the course of exchange against us to the extent of their value, which is at present nearly double what it.was when a large portion of them were serilikenoe ; and the difference between their specie value at the time of their export and their return, or redemption, will be so much against us, and a dead loss to the country. Many of our Securities now in Europe were purchased when gold was worth from 87 to 40 cents on, the dollar only. Sup posing the three hundred millions, more or less, of five-twenties held abroad to have been bought , here at par, with gold at an average of 201, making the currency dollar worth fifty cents, it would cost us just double, or three hundred millions for what we received only a hundred and fifty millions for to re• deem the same on. a specie baste. Where the debt is held at home this difference is comparatively im. material, because its redemption would not affect our foreign exchanges, whereas a contrary effect Is produced in the other case. There are ether evils to which we are exposed by having a large amount of our national securities hold abroad one of which is the possibility of a /Ridden return of heavy par eels of them for sale here.
