NEGOTIATIONS TO STOP THE WAR-ABO.
LITIONISTS CONSULTING WITH. CONG
FEDERATES IN REGARD TO STOPPING
THE WAR-MR. CONWAY AND MR. MA
SON.
Conway's proposition .to Mason, the Con
federate agent in London, that if the Confede
rate States will give up slavery then the Abo
litionists and anti-slavery men of the North
will immediately oppose the prosecution of - the
war on the part of the United States, is absurd
as diplomacy, but serious as revealing the. se
cret heart of the radicals of the North, whom
the Tribune leads. They do not care and never
have cared a continental cepper fcg. the resto
ration of the Union. It it could be restored
with slavery intact and under the sole control
of State laws, as the Constitution prescribes,
if it should remain " sectional," as for party
purposes the Republican party in the Chicago
platform declared it to be, they would oppose
reunion, They care for nothing but the Abo-
lition of slavery, and are Unionists or dis
unionists, whichever best forwards their only
wish.
' Mr. Conway, in his first letter to Mason,
said : " I have authority to make the follow
ing proposition on behalf of the leading anti
slavery men of America, who have sent me to
this country." Mr. Conway doubtless told
the truth. His statement is confirmed by the
fact that even the Tribune has not the effron
tery to deny his authority or the truthfulness
of his representations. It only alleges that
the rebels can never be induced to abolish sla
very. It virtually admits that his representa
tions of the wishes of the radicals are correct:
"Jeff: Davis would not be safe in Richmond
if slavery were abolished ; Virginia could not
be kept a year out of the Union in that case.
Whenever slavery shall give up the ghost, no
matter under what conditions, the knell of the
Confederacy will have sounded."
Here is a covert admission that it indorses
Conway's proposition. Once it openly pro
claimed itself for peace and disunion. Know
ing now that peace means disunion, and that
the North will never consent to that, it pre
tends to argue that a southern abolition of sla
very would destroy the confederacy and so
bring about peace and reunion. The fetch is
transparent. To-day, in its secret heart, it
longs for a pusillanimous peace and permanent
disunion; and Conway is its fit, as he proba
bly is its authorized, representative.

Sin: I have authority to make the follow

slavery men of America, who have sent me to
this country. If the States calling themselves
"Tht; Confederate States of America" will con
sent to emancipate the negro slaves in those
States, such emancipation to be guaranteed by
a liberal Zuropean commission, the emancipa
tion to be inaugurated at once, and such time
to be allowed for its completion as the commis
sion shall adjudge to be necessary and just,
and such emancipation once made shall be ir
revocable—then the Abolitionists and. anti
slavery leaders of the. Northern States shall
immediately oppose the prosecution of the war
on the port of the 'United States government,
and v einee they hold the balance of power, will
certainly cause the war to cease by the imme
diate withdrawal of every kind of support from

so grave a proposition may require some time;

earliest convenience whether you will person
ally lend your influence in favor of a restora
tion of peace and the independence of the
South upon the simple basis of the emancipa
tion of the slaves. Any guarantee of my own
responsibility and my right to make this offer
shall be forthcoming.

SlR:—Your note of the 11th has been re
ceived. I could easily give you the evidence
that I represent the views of the leading Abo
litionist's of America, but with regard to the
special offer which I have concluded that it
was best to write out to America and obtain
the evidence of my right to make it in a form
which will preclude any doubt as to its suffi
ciency. I shall then address you again on the
subject.
I am, &o , MONOURN D. Coxwtt.

Ste: I have received your note of yesterday.
You need not write to AmeriCa to "obtain
the evidence" of your right to treat on the mat
ter it imports. Our correspondence closes with
this reply.,.lt was your pleasure to commence
it, it is mine to terinate ft. I desire toknow
who they, were who, were responsible for your
PRICE TWO CENTS
mission to England, as you present it; and
100 Wov4 +0 confirm the treaty you proposed
to make for arrestiag the war, in America, on
the basis of a separation of the States, with or
without the sanction of their government. Bi
such information is of the less value now, as .1.
find from an advertisement. in the journals of
the day that you have brought to England let
ters of sufficient credit from those who sent
you to invite a public meeting in London, under
the sanction of a member of Parliament, who
was to preside, to hear an addresss from you
on the subject of your mission, with the prom
ise of a like address from him. This corres
pondence shall go to the public, and will find
its way to the country a class of the citizens
of which you claim to represent.
It will, perhaps, interest the government and
the 96 el4tal,.s '"loyal men" there to know , under
the sanction of your name, that the "leading
anti-slavery men in America" are prepared to
negotiate with the authorities of the Confed
erate States for a "restoration of peace and the
independence of the South on a pledge that the
Abolitionists and anti-slavery leaders of the
Northern States shall immediately oppose the
further prosecution of the war on the part, of
the United States government, and, since they
hold the balance of power, will certainly cause
the war to cease by the immediate withdrawal
of every kind of support from it." _ As some re
ward, however, for this interesting disclosure,
your inquiry whether the Confederate States
will consent to emancipation on the terms sta
ted shaTlnot go wholly unanswered: You may
be assured, then, and perhaps it may be of
value to your constituents to assure t:lem, that
the Northern States will never be in relations
to put this question to the South, nor will the
Southern States ever be in a position requiring
them to give an answer.
I am, sir, your obedient 'servant,

THE LAUREATE OF THE LEAGUE_
From the Philadelphia Evening Journal
The " Loyal League" of Philadelphia sus
tains. among other luxurious .appendages, a
Laureate—a veritable warbler, who lifts up hie
pipes and sings to order whenever the League
craves melody. The person who holds this hon
orable and lucrative position—whose versatile
and accommodating muse appears whenever
wanted, and sings until told to hush—is Mr.
George H. Boker. George belongs to a school
of literary artistes, at the head of which stands
Mr. Augustine J. EL Duganne, whose works,
(a presentation copy—we believe none were ever
sold,) look placidly down at us, as we write,
done up in the glories of cream colored paper
and antique binding. George and Augustine
burst upon the world about the same time.
Augustine affected to be a sort of Apostle of
Labor—called his poems the " Iron Harp," and
drummed away through reams of jingle in a
monotonous exhortation to the workingmen to
" Strike," and to " Be Up," an idea expressed
with equal force and greater brevity by every
factory bell in the country. Augustine also
exhorted the Irish to revolt, in certain ponder
ous lyrics which, no doubt, stiri•ed the masses
of Galway and Tipperary, where we presume
every. Irishman bummed them over his potatoes
and buttermilk. At least, we never heard any
thing to the contrary. While Duganne was
thus hat - eking revolutions and strengthening
the muscles of labor, Boker, " his eyes in frenzy
rolling," was evolving from the dark labyrinths
Of his genius a tragedy. We remember when
it was noted, and have some faint recollection
of. the plot. Be assured that it contained all
the elements and was propped by all the con
ventional accessories of a good old-fashioned
poisoning, - throat-cutting high tragedy.—
George's murderers scowled, his heroine faint
ed, his daggers gleamed, and hie cups of deadly
.poison brimmed with ale or cold coffee, after
the most approved dramatic fashion. He was
not the man to omit those sterling ejaculations
which are the marrow of intense expression.
"Aha"--" Thefoul fiend take thee!" Sde...th P
"By my faith!" 4 4 Gramercy !" " Pr' ythe sweet
maid !" and the like. In other words, George
was a drmatist who would have suited to a notch
the company of Mr. Vincent Crummles. If a
pump and a pair of tubs lay idle among the
properties of the theatre, a tragedy would have
been furnished at the shortest. notice, in which
pump water would have been an essential ele
ment, and tubs, of course, required to catch it.
George's tragedy had its day • was puffed,
praised, endured, laughed at, and, finally, van
ished from among men:
Years rolled on. Labor and Erin havinz
turned a deaf ear to Duganne—copies of his
poems being rare in workshops and eatremsty
scarce in the private libraries of the Finnegans
and O'Rouke's -- he applied himielf to the
composition of " Dime. Novels. " We pur
chased one, and do not hesitate to pronounce
it worth the money. But the war opened a
new field to these genii. Duganne has betaken
himself to writing martial ballads; which, or.
namented with neat eelered wood-cuts, have a
sale rivaling that of " Black Eyed Susan,"
"Barbary Allen" and the inexpensive lyrics of
a past.age. Meantime Boker has been intrus
ted by the Loyal League of Philadelphia
with the delicate functions of negro minstrel,
tunes his lyre periodicallY to celebrate the
the valor, symmetry, and fragrance of the
Ethlop. Occasionally, lit ie true, he throws off
a ditty upon some other loyal theme. lie cel
ebrated Hooker's advance upon Lee in a seal
stirring lyric, winding up _ •
g' Hooker's across ! Hooker's across !"
We forget whether
" On a white hoes !- On a white hoes!"
was added or not. He strangely omitted, how
ever, to sing the return of the hero, al move
ment which was mentioned in many of the
public prints at the time. •
We have seen no lyric with the truthful
°hom
"Hooker's cone back! Hooker's come back!"
though we have anxiously looked for one.—
Possibly it is a point of faith with the League
to believe that Joe is still]. "adrosa," and if so,
we beg nobody to disturb this touching and
childlike trust in "the beat government the world
ever eaw."
But this Hooker song and others like it are
mere incidental droppings from the poetic
fount. The negro is George's speciality, and
it is with real pleasure that we present to our
readers one of his noblest songs, inspired by
the "culled cuss" from Africa—

Tempest and falling brand
Over a ruined land
So still and orderly,
Arm to arm, knee to knee,
Waiting the great event,
Stands the black regiment.

Teeth gleam and eyeballs skins,
And the bright bayonet,
Bristling and firmly set,
Flashed with a purpose grand,

Oh! what a shoat there went

" Charge Trion, and drum awake;

Vainly opposed their rush.

With but one thought sheet,
Driving rheir lords like AA

Leaping with open hands,
Down they tear man and home,
Down in their &gnat course;
Trampling with bloody heel

All their eyes forward bent,
gushed the black regiment.
"Freedom !" their battle ery

Ah I and they meant the word,
Not as with ps 'tis heard,
Rot a mere party ehont ;
They gave their ppirits oat,
Trusted the end to God,
And on the gory eod
Rolled in trumphant blood.
Glad to strike one free blow,
Whether for weal or woe;
Glad to breatbe one free breath,
Though on the lips of death.
Praying—alas! in vain !
That they might fall again,
So they could onne more nee

But 1 hey Ate Min well;

Poldiers, be just and true !
Bait them as comrades tried;
Fight with them aide by side ;

Scorn the black regiment !
If Tennyson had seen this thing before he
wrote his "Charge of the Light Brigade," we
should have suspected him of plagiarism. Cer
tainly the fOgemhlance between the two poems
is amazing—as it is doubtless accidental.—
Still we think that Boker's poem might be im
proved on. This account of the valor of the
blacks is lacking in some important items,
which shed great light on the heroism of that
bloody day. Gen Banks' statement shows a
loss at Port 111148011 of about one thousand in
all, killed, wounded and missing. Of this
number it is fair to - assign three hundred as
the proportion killed. Yet Boker, in his eager
haste to celebrate African.valor at the expense
of the white soldier, has absolutely slain in
his song six hundred blacks at one fell swoop, ,
being twice as many black and white as fell by
the bullet on that disastrous day. Three hun
dred out of a whole army is exaggerated by the
loyal fauey of Defier into six hundred out of
a single regiment, and that a black ono. If
this marvelous and poetic gyphering were cor
rect we should think that Boker and the league
would be ashamed to show white faces and
kinklesa hair on the streets. Were it true, the
white army had better be disbanded at once
and the protection of our lives and fortunes
confided to the valorous arms of the negroes.—
But it is all nonsense. The reason why any
blacks at all were killed is plain enough. •
It seems that the African corps was placed
in the advance, that is to say, with the trown
ing. batteries of Port Hudson in front, and a
legion of bayonets behind, to quicken the tardy
steps, or restrain the undignified flight of any
faltering or fleet-footed warrior. In other
words, they were cooped like so many Cincin
nati pigs in an ingenious slaughter-pen, where
death was sure and flight inipossible, and the
mad desperation which fights because it can
not flee, has been trumpeted over the land as
the first development of a type of valor which
the Saxon may feebly imitate, but which is the
true associate of flat feet and crisp wool. Bo
ker has fallen into the common error, and has
described the stern determination of the blacks,
and their desperate valor. without any intima
tion that it was sustained and quiokened by a
smart show of Caucasian bayonets in the rear I
No wonder that a "nigger" finding himself in
such a precious fix, should roll up the whites
of his eyes and show his teeth ; or, as Mr.
Boker adapts it to the tender tympanum of
"the League"-
•' Down the long dusky line
Teeth gleam and eyeballs shine!"
Had he added that each warrior !lamely
stamped a hole in the ground with the hollow
of his foot it would have been by no means
incredible, and would have comported perfectly
with our knowledge of negro anatomy. Any
contortion, grin, convulsion, or roll of the eye,
however wild or curious, might be looked for
among a gang of ensnared Sambos, pining to
run and fearing to, budge.
However, this poetic disregard of fade is
altogether becoming in a laureate. But as we
are hampered with no official position of that
kind, have an altogether bayleas head, and are
without any poetic reputition either to sustain
or lose, suppose we suggest a verge or two as
an improvement on the Laureate's facts, if-not
upon his jingle. Here goes
Black as the very devil,
Armed for the bloody revel,
Quaking from head to foot,
Poubtfal which way to shoot,
With hand upon trigger,
Stood forth every nigger.
Dreading the coming-fight
Sweating with heat and fright,
'Mid wild consternation, -
And et cog perspiration,
Lord 1 whet a pontrfat de"
Had the black regiment!
Oh! 'twits a glorious eight,
Fit to shame &oldie e whit;
With heads sheathed in lightest wool
All the long ranks were full, .
Safe wag eaoh warrior's brain,
Fhielded from blade 1 rain ;
For the cranium of Guinea
can turn the dread Minis, '
Which tears tnrongh the.MIXON
Thin skail of the Saxon,
Hebrews cost not a cent '
Nor the bleAk regiment.
We regard that as rather neatly turned. The
battle we will not attempt. We leave it to the
loyal muse of Boker and the League to de
scribe the gouging, seratehing . and bloody bi
ting which seem to be the pointslokialinkilfar
fare on which the Abolitionists specially plume
themselves. George's cenoluding exhettation
to the white soldiers to be sociable with their
colored brethren, is very proper ' and pathetic,
but somewhat da rkly worded. We euzgolli ft
substitute.
Oh! white soldiers be clever
To Niggers, and !lever,
When June days are longest,
And the sweat oozes strongest,
Tarn up scornful noses,
But pretend you smell roses ;
If their-wrongs never move yon,
At least stand their effleria:
Or smoke pipes to kill the er4itt
