THOMAS CORWIN, who, from his place in the
'United States Senate during the Mexican war,
expressed the hope that the 'Mexicans would
welcome our soldiers "with bloody hands to
"hospitable graves," has been rewarded by this
Administration with a foreign mission for his
patriotism; while the pensioned agents of the
same Adminutration are engaged in the work
of denouncing every free citizen, who refuses
to approve of the policy and take part in the
business of slaughtering his own countrymen,
as a traitor and tory. In other words, it is
all right to take part with a foreign enemy with
whom the Government is at war, but all - wrong
not to sympathize with and applaud the same
Government when it is about to engage in a
bloody civil war with our own countrymen.
The Administration apprehends that an at
attack may be made upon Washington, and
troops are being assembled at that point to
repel any assault that may be made_ Whether
any good reason exists for this apprehension
we are unable to determine ; but are certain
that the best way of protecting the Capital
from danger is to pursue a vigorous peace
policy. Washington can be in no great danger
of capture as long as Maryland and Virginia
remain loyal to the Union. But the immediate
consequence of war in the seceded State would
be to increase the disaffection in the Border
States, and to render a large military force
necessary for the defence of the Federal Cap
ital. The Administration seems to fear that
the policy it is pursuing will widen the area of
secession, and convert the very seat of Gov
ernment into a beleagured fortress.
The partizans of the Administration, who
are so violent in their denunciations of all who
do not approve of the policy of civil war, do
not pretend that war will result either in the
enforcement of the laws or the restoration of
the Union. On the contrary, the admission
is explicitly made that "war with the seceded
States will not bring them back into the Union."
Indeed, after the daily exhibitions of intense
hatred to the Southern Siates, made by that
class of Republican journals most anxious for
war, it is impossible to believe that they desire
to be again associated with the seceded States.
If, then, war is not to bring these States back
into the the Union, what is its object? When.
we are called upon to stand by the Administra
tion, we would like to know what the Admin
istration is driving at.
Peace is Patriotism.
Freedom of opinion o,nd freedom in the ex
pression of those opinions is the happy privi
lege of every citizen in this Republic. We have
no censorship of the Press here. We have no
secret police to note every word uttered in
Opposition to the conduct and policy of our
rulers, and to terrify the dissenting into out
ward concurrent by severe punishments. We
are not obliged to whisper our opinions in closed
rooms, with bated breath, lest some spy of
the Government may overhear and expose us
to stripes and imprisonment. In short, we are
not subjected to the fearful despotism over
mind. exercised in absolute governments like
Russia and France. Some of the partizans of
the Federal Administration entirely overlook
this fact. They act as if they believed the
Government had - the right to control not only
the army and navy, and to launch the thunder-
bolts of civil war against the people, but also
to gag the press and to stifle every expression
of opinion adverse to the policy of the Govern,
meat. They have fallen into a grevions error,
in supposing that the possession of the offices
and patronage of the Government constitutes
them autocrats of public opinion. The settled
conviction of the people that civil war is an
unnecessary evil, and that it will widen the
breach between sections of the Union, cannot
be suppressed by the cry of treason and traitor;
and the sooner the self constituted censors who
are now attempting this game learn its futility,
the better for them.
It has been reserved, at this late day, for the
partisens of an Administration which usurped
power under the deceptive cries of "freedom,
free speech and a free press," to undertake the
task of crushing out differences of opinion, and
compelling a dead conformity to the war
measures of the Federal Government. To
borrow the very expressive language of Mr.
LINCOLN, "it can't be did." The people see
what influences have brought them to the brink
of the fearful precipice, and they will hold the
Administration to a strict accountability for its
misdeeds. They see that the party which
cunningly and wickedly arrayed one section
of the countty against the other at the ballot
box, is now about to re-enact the same crime
upon the bloody battle field by substituting
bayonets for billots. They see war deliberately
chosen as preferable to peace, when either
course was open to the Administration, an d
when war means disunion, and peace offers the
only prospect of an ultimate restoration of the
- Union_ And seeing this, they will net applaud
when duty requires them to -condemn, or de
clare that the Administration is right, when
they know in_ their inmost hearts that it is
wrong.
The Administration organs talk of treason.
What is treason ? Is it treason to object to
the policy of the Federal Administration ?
Then they have been guilty of this crime for
years. Is it treason to prefer union without
war to disunion with war 1 1 It may be in the
estimation of those who are filled with hatred
and malignity towards the Southern States and
who desire to drive them out of the Dnion at
the point . of the bayonet ; but in the estimation
of those who desire to restore those fraternal
sentiments without which union is impossible,
the policy of favoring peace and opposing war
is the highest patriotism,
The War Spirit.
There is great danger that the war spirit wil
become so much aroused, both North and
South,that it cannot be repressed. The feelings
of the peoplb have long been gravitating in that
direction—and although a few months ago the
idea of a general war between the North and
the South would not have been for a moment
entertained, there was being engendered a
spirit of prejudice, hatred and distrust., which
only needed the events that have since oc
curred, to bring those who ought to be friends
into an attitude of open hostility to each other.
A few days ago there were glimmerings of
peace. But they were only glimmerings, to be
succeeded by the threatenings of war. Our
readers need not be told that since the com
mencement of the secession movement we have
seen but faint hopes of an amicable adjustment
of our national difficulties. Occasionally our
intense desire and wish for a:peaceful solution
has mastered our judgment, founded on the con
dition of the country and the true aspect of
affairs, so far that we have indulged in flatter
ing visions of fraternal relations-re-established
—of a Union restored ; but these illusions have
been quickly dispelled by the hard logic of
EMI
Upon what has this apprelfe . nsion of war and
carnage rested? Why have the friends of
peace found so little to encourage and cheer
them in these days of national calamity? Simply
because of the existence of a hostile spirit
among the people. Continued union can only
be mainiained as the fruit of kindness and fra
ternal relations ; and it ought not, therefore,
to
surprise any body that secession and aliens
lon and war follow as the legitimate issues of
a bitter and malignant spirit between the two
sections
It is not our purpose to charge this wrong
exclusively upon any class of people, or upon
any section of country. That is a task never
coveted by us, and perhaps agreeable to none.
But what we desire to show at this time is, the
tendency of that animosity between the sections
to culminate in an appeal to arms.
It is painful to witness the war spirit now
rife throughout the country. It is slits highest
pitch at the South, and is fast rising to fever
heat in the North, At the rate things go on,
the country in less than thirty days will be
ripe for a bloody contest ; so that whatever
President Lincoln or President Itavis may
think or wish, war will be inevitable. We. are
fast becoming a nation of haters ;:and now that
we have no national antipathies towards for
eigners, we indulge in the very reprehensible
conduct of hating our own brethren and kins-
men
It is time for the people to pause, and ask
themselves whither we are drifting ? What
will be the consequence of this spirit of ani
mosity towards our fellow-countrymen ? Is it
not possible for us to differ decently and like
men; without indulging in a spirit of malignity ?
Cannot men be in favor of slavery or opposed
to slavery, without rushing at each' other like
wild beasts, as if they would devour those who
differ with them in opinion ?
We ask these questions because we are con
rinsed that the present unhappy complications,
which threaten to destroy our nationality, have
their origin in, and draw their sustenance from,
that unchristian spirit which denounces all men
as sinful and wrong, who do not conform, in
morals, in polities, and in religion, to the
standard set up by the self-righteous men, who
can brook no dissent, nor forgive an independ
ent judgment. If there be any one thing now
needed more than any other in human judgment,
it is charity. Were there more of this, and
less of denunciation against those who do not
see according to a given standard, we should
have greater hope of a safe deliverance.
Something must be done to arrest the pre
vailing war spirit, or the country will speedily
enter upon a course which, whateier may be
the physical superiority of one or the other
section, can'produce only disaster and distress.
Individual citizens may not consider their
limited influence of great account—and yet it
is of these that the aggregate sentiment of the
country is composed. It will be seen, there
fore, what. is the duty of every man who would
avert impending evils. It, is, to resist and
discourage the war feeling so industriously
cultivated by fanatics, and to inculcate a spirit
of moderation and peace. Let each individual
do this, and a radical change in the tone of the
officials at Washington will speedily manifest
itself.—.lournal of Commerce.
The Washington correspondent of the Jour.
nal of Commerce makes the fol l owing, sug
gestions concerning the destination of the
troops whose departure from New York has
created so much excitement and apprehension
throughout the country:
“There is to be no war as a consequence of
any movement by this Government in regard to
Forts Sumpter and Pickens, or any movement
by President Davis.
The greater portion of the expeditionary
force sent from New York is destined, as I have
informed you, for Brazos Santiago. The im
portance of that point in a military, commercial,
and political view cannot be overrated. If you
consicter the character of the materials shipped
you will see that it is for the purpose of throw
ing up field works, of erecting barracks, and
of employing in a level country flying artillery.
You will notice, too, that the country on the
Brazos for 300 miles is very rich; and will be
the wealthiest and most conservative part of
Texas. It now embraces important commercial
points—for instance, Brownsville, 40 miles
above Brazos Santiago. From Brownsville
there is a great trade with Maxie°, and with
the interior of Texas. The imports of foreign
goods at. Brazos and at Brownsville are large
and increasing—over five millions in 1852.
Besides, the goods and merchandise from non
seceded States will amount to as much more,
all which will pay duty to the Texan Custom
House, unless the United States Government
maintain a military post at Brazos Santiago.
One object, therefore, is to protect the revenue
at this point.
But.,
besides all these reasons, you will find
another in 'he fact that Governor Houston made
a formal application to this Government for
military and for the protection of the State
from invasion and insurrection, and the expe
dition may be intended as a response to the
application.
sKys the Boston Shoe
About six months ago,
and Leather Reporter, a manufacturer in this
city sent a lot of shoes to a workman in Maine,
to be made, and having a pplied to him in vain
.to return the shoes, received a few days since
•a letter in which the writer states that being
very much in want of money he had sold the
shoes on his own account.
110 W DOES IT LOOK NOW?
From the Boston Courier
Last fall, when the Republicans were hurry
ing along our streets, night after night, jost
ling and running over each other in their
eagerness to join the torchlight procession;
hailing each other boisterously as brave and
intrepid "Wide Awakes," displaying their
broad capes, fanciful lanterns and flags, deco
rated with witty devices and funny mottoes,
we warned them, again and again, of the sad
and disastrous consequences which must follow
their possible success in electing a sectional
President. We told them over and over again
to beware. We begged of them, by every con
sideration of patriotism and of humanity, to
desist from a course which must inevitably
prove ruinous to the best interests of the
country. We referred them to the prophetic
warnings of the wise men in all ages of the
Republic, from Washington down. We sa id
then, and we repeat it again, it is utterly impos
sible and forever out of the question to live in
peace, in a Republic, where all have a common
intesest in the government, without affording
the fairest and the fullest opportunity for all
to vote for their governors and their rulers.
The Republicans did not believe us. The
Wide Awakes would not even listen to our
warnings. The lanterns and capes and flags
multiplied in our streets and in our public
squares. Cannons were fired, banners floated
in the breezes of the night, trumpets Were
blown and drums were beaten, until the young
men and maidens, old men and matrons, fairly
ran mad with the idea of being able to elect a
President without the aid of the South. Well,
the deed is done. The Wide Awakes have
triumphed. To their care is committed the
government of these United States, what there
is left of them.
Gentlemen of the Republican party, gentle
men of the Wide Awake clubs, how do you
like it ? How does it look now ? To those of
you who have been successful in procuring of
fice at Washington, no doubt the prospect is
pleasant; but we beg to inquire respectfully of
those who have been unfortunate in their ap
plication, how the matter stands with them?
And then, there are thousands who never ex
pected place or office, thousands who live by
the sweat of the brow—shoemakers, carpen
ters, hatters, weavers, spinners, painters, en
gravers, in short, all sorts of mechanics' and
laborers - , those whO have to earn by their toil,
bread for themselves and for their children.—
How does it look to you, gentlemen ? No longer
ago than the very last autumn, you had plenty
of employment, at very good wages. You could
readily meet your rent, your grocer's bill, your
doctor's bill, and those .of your tailor and
butcher, Now, you find these necessary ex
penses very hard for you. You can scarcely
sleep at night in peace for anxiety about them.
How does it all look to you? The Republi
cans told you, told all of us, repeatedly, every
where, that if Mr. Lincoln were only once
elected all would be calm and quiet and peace
ful ; that labor would be in demand, and the
people would be happy again. But so far from
realizing any advantages from the election of
Mr. Lincoln, things are certainly growing
worse. The Wide-Awakes, if You ask them
to-day, cannot but admit that we are not im
proving in the least, but are, in fact, upon the
retrograde. Who, then, has gained anything
by the election of a sectional President ?
Rather let us ask, who has not lost ? Seven of
the States of this Union have left us. Nearly
all the advantage which the vast carrying trade
of the South has been to us is now gone. The
Southern market is all but lost to us. Our
people are compelled to be idle, all but those
who are hunting after office, with but a poor
prospect indeed for the future. And all of this
for no other cause, none in the world, except
the election of a sectional President. But for
the election of Mr. Lincoln, the country would
have been at this moment in as prosperous a
condition as it. has been since the war of the
Revolution. There is no cause known or con
jectured by anybody, but the election, which
has brought upon us our present misfortunes.;
WAR'S GLORIES
From the Baltimore American
Enough of the brute belongs to human nature
to make "glorious war," with its pomp and cir
cumstance, an attractive amusement. To men
who have never encountered its sober realities
the waving banners, the glittering arms and the
showy uniform are the things that captivate the
imagination, and the actual shock of battle is,
as a general rule, only dear to the valiant gen
tlemen who .figure in romances. But still the
brutal element in human character is more or
less blood-thirsty, and war loses its horrors to
men whose trade is slaughter. We read the
account of a prize-fight, and cannot conceive
how any one with human sympathies can endure
the mere sight of such brutality ; yet the gen
tlemen of the "fancy" not only look with
indifference upon the horrible tortures inflicted
upon a fellow-being, but actually enjoy the
scene the more in proportion to the severity
of the "punishment." The memory of a rail
road accident, where seven or eight fatally
wounded men were extricated from the ruins of
a passenger car, will last us our life out, and
suffice for a description of battle-fields, with
all the heart-rending details. We have no
desire to witness any sadder reality.
That there are cases in which an appeal to
arms is necessary and proper no one can deny.
Our own history as a nation began with a
struggle, and we have plenty of dismal proph
ets among us who predict a bloody termination
of the same history. But the war of the Revo
lution covered the American name with glory,
while the war that is threatening to burst upon
us will be infamous, no matter how it begins
or how it ends. Our children will live to exe
crate the memory of their fathers when they
read the story of our magnificent empire shiv
ered to atoms by an unnecessary contest be
tween madmen. The verdict of posterity will
be nothing more than the story of a race of
suicides, who destroyed themselves at the very
moment when their life was the most promi
sing and attractive.
We need not draw our arguments in favor of
peace from the future, however. The ques
tions that divide this nation are certainly sus
ceptible of a pacific solution, and until it can
be demonstrated that civil strife will be profita
ble to either aide there is no excuse that can
be imagined, which the world will accept, if we
allow that strife to commence. It is easy enough
to point out a dozen pretexts upon which it may
begin, but God only knows what the end of
such a contest would be ! The first effect would
be the total destruction of our commerce and
manufactures and the inevitable depreciation
of every description of secpriiy. Investments
that have hitherto been counted among the
most infallible sources of revenue will become
totally valueless, and what we now understand
as the rights of property will give place to the
right of the strong hand. It is perfectly idle
to talk of the exhaustless resources of this
great country, when a few months or even a
few weeks of war would make all these resour
ces altogether unavailable. Let any holder of
real estate try to convert his property into
money wit r only a tolerably prevalent rumor
of war upon the breeze, and he will find a
ridiculous discrepancy between his ideas of
value and the facts in the case.
It is needful to go a step higher, and ask for
the advantages to accrue to our wives and
children from this business of blood-shedding ?
Where shall we place them out of' the sight and
sound of war's horrors ? By what enchant
ment shall we provide far them the common
necessaries of life, to say nothing of the com
forts to which they have been accustomed ? If
we fight, our main business is to make as many
widows and orphans as we can, and how will
their cries of anguish accord with our shouts of
victory, if we gain it? The thought of their
tearful eyes, raised to Heaven, and mutely
pleading for vengeance upon a nations of Caine,
would spoil the most magnificent vision of
military glory. War is, truly, a " damnable
trade !"
Finally, we ask our countrymen to pause a
moment before they plunge into a sea of trou
ble, and consider whose policy they are going
to carry out. Is it to consolidate the power of
South or North ? Is it to place Mr. Abe Lin
coln more securely in his seat or Mr. Jeff. Davis '
in his ? Is it to gratify a handful of atheistical
fanatics at the . North, who deny both God and
Devil and who have no appetite for anything
but blood ? Or is it to quiet the hot temper of
a few demagogues at the South, who are pant
ing for "banner. brand, and bow," and for the
pleasures of military despotism?"
SOME QUEER STORIES.—Some queer stories
are told of sharp practice in connection with
the recent throwing out of Illinois banks. A
Chicago banker, who was in the secret., on
Saturday morning gave some sixty thousand
dollars to a grain speculator with which to
"operate." He bought. wheat to the amount
and told the sellers to call at his office for their
pay, where he detained them on various ex
cuses until after bank hours and then paid
them in interior Illinois banks. On Monday
morning the currency was "shut down on,"
leaving the wheat sellers out from fifteen to
twenty cents on the dollar.
Patca OF PULLING A NEW YORK ALDERMAN'S
NosE.—A sheriff's jury, who had in considera

be awarded to the complainant, in the case of
alderman John Russell vs. ex-alderman "Billy"
Wilson, for an assault committed on the 14th
of May last, in the vestibule of the City Hall,
when Wilson attempted to give Russell's nose
a vigorous lengthening, but failed because the
latter drew back too quickly for him, have at
last determined that the alderman bone fide
must be paid from the pockets of the en-alder

In excavating for the temporary grave of the
Duchess of Kent a small opening was made
into the vault which contains the coffins of
Henry VIII. and one of his queens, Lady Jane
Seymour, also the coffins of Charles I. and an
infant child of Queen Anne. The coffins, and
even the crimsons on which are placed the
coronets, were in a tolerable state of preserva

VIII„ said to have been made by one of the
soldiers of Oliver Cromwell, was clearly dis
cernible.
SUICIDE OF A WEALTHY GENTLEMAN.—On

Monday night Stephen Van Rensselaer a mem
ber of the celebrated Van Rensselaer or "Pa
troon" family of Albany, committed suicide in
New York by swallowing a dose of laudanum.
It appears that for many years past he' had
given way to habits of dissipation to such an
extent as to render him totally unfit for the
transaction of the most ordinary business

The steamer Persia's apparent time of ma
king her last trip is nine days and twenty

three hundred and fifty miles.
SEIZURE OF JEWELRY.-A seizure of diamond
jewelry was made at Noir York, on Tuesday,
on board the steamship Persia, one of the pas

ONLY ONE DOLLAR EACH!
romo BEAUTIFUL STEEL PLATE ENGRAVING
OF THE LORD'S PRAYER FOR SALE!
VALITABLE PROPERTY GIVEN AWAY!
The idea of representing the LORD'S PRAYER by an
engraving, and of ornamenting and arranging it in suck
a manner as to produce at once a model of neatness and
taste, was conceived and carried out by ORMSBY, the
celebrated Bank-note Engraver or New York city. it
commences with exquisitely executed words of "Olut
FATHER." and then follow in succession the other parts
of the Prayer, every phrase of which is engraved in the
most elegant and tasteful manner. Near the bottom of
the picture is a superbly executed head of OUR SAV HAM,
and encircling the upper part of the engraving are ten
angels, each bearing one of the TEN COMMANDMENTS.
The engraving has received the most unqualified praise
from the religious community, as there is nothing of a
sectarian character about it, having been recommended
by clergymen of all denominations. As an ornament it
is one of the - most splendid ever pub' ished in this country,
and is destined to take the place of a poorer class of
engravings The size of the plate is 20x28 inches, a n d
is unquestionably the cheapest engraving ever offered in
this country.

engraving—who that would possess a beautitul Pictur e

securing for that sum in addition a permanent home or
another valuable Gift?

is worth more than the dollar asked fot it, as will readiily
