DAILY POST• The Union as it was; The Constitution as it is! NDAY MORNING, APRIL 7 /Fir Residing matter on every Pte• CONSERVATISM SUCCESSFUL President Lincoln has gained a magnifi cent triumph over the abolition radicals of his party ; his idea of gradual emancipa tion, contained in the following resolution, not only forestalled Sumner's destructive measure, but it compelled him and his ex treme coadjutors in the Senate, to put themselves on record in favor of the Pres ident' spolicy. OUr readers will remember the President's sudden recommendation upon this subject; here it is : "Resolved, That the United States ought to co-operate with any State which may adopt a gradual abolishment of slavery, giving to such State pecuniary aid, to be used by such State in its discrdion, to compensate for the inconveniences, public and private, produced by such a change of system." The Republicans in the Senate having voted for this resolution and passed it, we infer that Mr. Sumner's_ resolves alluded to will never more be heard of. So far, so good. This, taken in connection with the rebukes administered to the extreme abo litionists by Sherman and Browning, prove very conclusively, that the Repub lican leaders arebeginning to ascertain that their extreme doctrines are not suited to the times. The party in power having put forth the President's recommendation, as their con• fession of faith, let us see what it amounts to, and what. it is all about. In the first place the States, themselves, are recog nized as being the only parties interested. and it is for them to say whether they de sire to get rid of slavery. They are the sole judges, from whose decision there can be no appeal. Next, it' they desire to emancipate their slaves, the States have he right to say how it is to he done ; and after all that they possess all power to fix the moneyed value of their shives and sub mit their, schedules and sum totals to the consideration of Congress. Shoilld Con gress ac - Cede to the terms proposed, very well; if not, there is no harm done, and the States remain precisely as they were. If John C. Calhoun, himself were alive, he could find but little objection to this proposition ; indeed, in the present unset tled condition of the country, when the progress of our arms is rendering slave property so insecure, we should think the slave owners entirely mad if they did not immediately accept it. We have no doubt but the slaveholders will gladly receive this offer; but we are not so certain of its be ing acceplable to those who will have to furnish the means to carry it into practical operation. If, as the abolitionists insist, slavery is the cause of the war, why did they not at the beginning of hostilities, reino‘te that cause, by offering, as they now do, to put.- chase the'slaves? We have been spending .nearly three millions of dollars per day for nearly a year to crush this `'slaveholders' rebellion," and the abolitionists coolly ask the people to expend about the same amount every day for years to come, in or der to bring amongst us an indefinite num ber of ransomed slaves, who, after being freed, would settle amongst us, and drive white labor from many fields of enterprise. We do not imagine that Northern laborers are prepared to consent to any such an ar rangement. So, that although President Lincoln's conservatism, has utterly demol ished his party's extravagance, still his scheme of emancipation will never be as sented to by the free laborers and me chanics_of the country. Negro emigration to the North is already attracting the jealous attention of the peo ple. New York is beginning to he appre hensive on this subject, and petitions are pouring in to her Legislature directing at • tention to it. These petitions ask for the enactment of a law, similar to that of Illi nois,. which absolutely excludes - free ne groes from the State. The Legislature of New Jersey, too, last week, had a large number of petitions before it on the same subject. These petitions express the opin ion that nothing short of "fines and im . prisonments" will keep these contrabands from entering the State. Should they be allowed to enter and settle there, the peti tione-contittue, their presesigeirilltro - a con stant source of irritation, because they will supplant free labor. Trotn these demon strations the - reader will infer, tliaithe free millions oftlie country at present, to undergo additional taxation in order to be overrun with rivals in labor, and if not 'rivals.- then vagaboude- and paupers. . _ NOTICE.

March 31st. 1862. DEAR COL. :—Thiigiiiery under coin• mend of Capt. Knapp left Upperville on the 24th, and marchedfor Aldie, sixteen miles distant. Our force consisted of Col. Gea ry's regiment and 250 of the Michigan cav alry. On the way theColenel received a dispatch announcing the battle of Winches ter. Just as the column was entering Al dieit was met by Abercrombie's Brigade hastening back to Winchester. We pitch ed our new Sibley's near the village and camped for the night. The next morning we started by the left about for Winches ter, and reached Snickersvillo where we stopped for the night. In the morning we again tried the left about, and retracing our former steps quartered at Philimont. In the morning we were off for Middle burgh; as we reached the town, news of its occupation by the rebels reached the Colo nel. The cavalry and infantry were deploy ed on the wings; the artillery supported by infantry marched in the center. The ene my' scavalry were just entering the western side of the village as we entered the eastern. The battery preceded by cavalry and in fantry passed through the town at a trot. and unlimbering as it reached the brow of the hill at the western side,fired a few shells at the enemy who had already been started on the double quick by a volley from Capt. All's company of the 28th. Our preens sion shells increased their pace and for ought I know they are going yet. It was quite a disappointment to us. We expec ted some fun, but secesh has got into such a habit ofspiritiag themselves away at our approach, that a glimpse of them is consid ered quite a God-send. We remained at Middleburg until the morning of the 29th when we left for this place. It commenced snowing on Saturday about 10 o'clock, a. m., and continued to snow until dark,when it changed to rain. Last night we hail a severe thunder storm. The flashes of light ning were so vived as to7cause a stampede of the horses. The mud surpasses any thinl have yet saw. This village is on the Winchester and Manassas Rail Road. Although the track has not been torn up. all the bridges have been burned. A melancholy accident bah just occur red. Adjutant Phelps of the Michigan cav alry was riding down the track on a truck; his revolver dropped from his holster, and lighting on the floor:of the ear wasdiseharg ed, the ball passing directly through his heart; he died instantly without littering a word. I am completely ignorant or the eye, occurring iii the great world beyond tl: limits of our camp. and long for a glans at a newspaper. ('apt.

Contrabands Speaking of "contrabands"—out of the large number assembled at, this point and Hampton creek. if you want a litlto labor work done, it is almost an impossibility to get any of these folks to do it. The creeks around and about here are tilled with tern—known to the lovers of bivalves us "Norfolk oysters, — and the roads and riv ers swarm with fish—vet you cannot :get either without great dilliculty. When these colored people had masters. oysters were in abundance. It is only when want com pels them that they will go out and catch a few. Our soldiers wade in and catch them with their hands. In the language of "Aunty l'hely" in Uncle Twit, they are really a `•shiftless set... Contraband Vocations. hi the morning the males leave thei quarters for out-door work. It is tantaliz ing to see them move, in single tile, a snail's pace. as tlin,igh they had no powe of locomotion. and were making efforts t( get atom! the best way they conk'. Ask e fe , naies if they have anv neeupation, they say "yes plenty of men - ding, washing and cooking.' Upon further in. you find that this "mending, washing and cooking." is done for themselves. They are far better off than our soldiers. While these poor fellows are bivouaeing out in. the open air, the '•contrabands" have good shelter, good food, and plenty of warmth. The soldien: complain sadly of this. KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE A Joke. It turns out that the letter received by Secretary Seward, purporting to come from one of the (;olden Circle, is a huge pray tical joke ; the astute Secretary having been as completely sold, appears to have resolved upon selling• somebody else, and accordingly selected fi-n. Pierce ihr his victim. If this be so, the reader will per ceive by the following letters from the Ex- President that that retired dictionary did not appreciate the joke: "DEPARTMENT OP STATE, 1 Washington, December 20, 1861. I "Stat-11 enclose an extract from a let ter received at this department, from which it would appear that you were a member of a secret league, the object of which is to overthrow the Government. "Any explanation upon the subject which you may offer would be acceptable. " I am, iitc.„ . WILLIAM H. SEWARD, " FRANKLIN PIERCE, Esq., Concord, N. H.". Mr. Pierce replied in the following sharp letter:-- Mr. Pierce to Mr. Seward. "ANDOVER, Mass., Dec. 24, 1861. Sia:—A package, endored 'Department of State, U. S. A., franked by W. Hunter, Chief Clerk, and addressed to Franklin Pieree,;Esq., Concord, New Hampshire, was received by me to-day, having been forwarded from the place of my residence. But foi the stamped envelope and the handwriting of Mr. Hunter, - 'with which I am familiar, I should probably have re garded the enclosures as an idle attempt at imposition, in which your name had been surreptitiously used. I must, I sup pose, though I do it reluctantly, now view it in a different light. In the note bearing your signature, you say :—‘ I enclose an extract from a letter received at this De partment, from which it would appear that you are a member of a secret league, the object of which is to overthrow the Gov ernment. Any explanation upon the sub ject which you may offer would be accept able.' " It is not easy to conceive how any person could give credence to, or entertain for a moment, the idea that I am now, or have ever been, connected with a 'secret ', 'vim,' or with any league, the object of which was, or is, the overthrow of the Gov ernment o f my country. Surprise, how ever, only increases as I pass from your not4to the' extract' to which you refer as a sufficient basis for an official communi cation. Incoherent and meaningless as . this • extract,' from the vagaries -of an annonmons correspondent seems to me to be, it-is not a littlesingular that it should have been sent for explanation to one who, during his whole life, has never be -loused -to any secret-league, society or as soctation. My name does not- appear in the 'extract,' and as . there -is not the slightest ground for any refetence to me in the.conneetion indicated, I take it for 14 1 granted *Slow -inference is who , er• rineowinorthid neither I, - nee la - • which I wet mid er diihinw lip timu gi b i , of` ---- ~.... ~ i.......,:.q.:1 *on, the' • . • . .

" Love for our whole country, respect for the reserved rights of the States, re verence fur the Constitution and devotion to the noble Union, which, for so many years, reposed securely upon that sacred instrument, have been interwoven with my best hopes for civil liberty—my deepest emotions and Inv sternest purposes, from youth to age. It 1 have failed to illustrate this in official station, in private life, and under all circumstances when it became me to speak or act, I have labored undera singular delusion, a consciousness of which would embitter, more than anything else, the present hour and such remaining hours or years as may be in reserve for me.

Mr. Seward rejoins as follows : "WASHINGTON, December 30, 1831, MY DEAR SIR : —An injurious aspersion on your fair fame and loyalty came into my hands. Although it was an anonymous let ter the writer was detected, and subsequent ly avowed the authorship. The docu ment must become a part of the history of the times.

"The manner in which it was done has given you offence. I regret it, and apolo gize for it as the only excuse I can make, namely. the necessity of employing anoth er head to do what ought to be done, and which L had not time to do, personally. •'I place your answer on the files of the Pepartment of State as an act of justice to yourself. .•And I beg you to be assured that all the unkindness of that answer does not in the least diminish the satisfection with which I have performed. in the best way I was able, a public duty. with a &sire to render you a service. ant with great respect, your obedient servant.

Mr. Pierce to Mr. Seward. Coxcoen, N. H.. January' 7. 186'2. DEA SIR :-I have the honor to acknowl edge the reception of your letter of the 30th ult. It could have hardly surprised you to learn that I have failed to discover in your official note a desire to render me a serv ice. You will excuse me if I regard even the suggestion, from a source so eminent, that I ant "a member of a secret league, the object of which is to everthrow this ;overnment — as rather too grave to have been sent off with as little consideration as a note of rebuke might have been addressed to a delinquent clerk of one of the Depart- The writer of the anonymous lett e SPCILIS. was detected subsequently avowed its authorship, and yet. I am not advised whether he. disavows its reference to Inc. or whether there was an attempt to incull,ato me in the disclosure. These were the only facts material for the to know. I suppose f am left to infer the latter. because, though my name does not appear in the extract to which guy attention has been called, you still state that the aspersion on my fair fame and loyalty came from your hands. I think you will, on reflection. see that the whole ground on which the allegation was made should have been placed in my hands. It was not the manlier of your official note nor any form of your address that awakened the deep sense of wrong on my part. These are not worthy of serious notice.

The Report of the Western War Claims Commission. The report of the Commission on War Claims, at St. Louis, is one of the blackest chapters in the revelations of frauds con nected with the war. The names of the Commissioners, Messrs. David Davis, of Illinois; Joseph Holt, of Kentucky, and Hugh Campbell, are a sulfictent guarantee that the commission was faithfully execu ted. Their report fills forty printed pages, and the testimony of twelve hundred wit nesses examined by them will occupy front six to seven thousand mannscript pages. The charges against General Fremont are enormous. He contracted according to this report, for eight mortar boats at $66,- 000, which were appraised at thirty-eight thousand dollars by intelligent boat and engine builders. Among the claims was one for five hun dred tons of ice, ordered by General Fre mont, purchased and shipped in October, when the weather was becoming cold. It was sent to Jefferson City, and most of it wasted because there was no room to store it in Jefferson City, where it was sent. The Commission allowed only one-half of the claim for rent of a three story house for General Fremont's headquarters, hired at six thousand dollars per annum ,• and they complain that the purchase of railroad cars, and the large dealings in coal growing out of the steam and gunboat service are large ly tainted with fraud. C. L. Beard. a Californian,' and J. C. Woods, figure 'largely as speculators in the report, they having been peculiarly favor ed by the General. Beard received $l9l, 000 in,advance for somecontincts forforts. - - Of the special contracts for 'arms and munitions, specially made by. General Fremont, $641,000 remain unpaid, and the commission deducted from this $90,- 000 for excess of price. Mr.• Beard seems to have attacked the Treasury in front, flank and rear. He brought bills for forage amounting to $115,000. The rapacious purse of, Beard was filled, notwithstanding the soldiers and laborers were unpaid. Beard has left St. Louis. . The various frauds iii General Fremont's department brought to light by the Com missioners are astounding, but his declara tions were more so. He said to Lieuten ant Colonel Andrews, Paymaster in the regular army, according to the testimony of that officer, that "the people of the i United States were n the field; that he was at their head, and that he meant to carry out such measures as they expected him to carry out,with outliigard to the red 'tape of the Wash ington people." Colonel -Andrews told him that red tiipe meant syst . em of govern ment, which, in its datails might be carried too far by subordinates, but the general system' of your government was a wise and good one, and - hewho undertook to set aside its prinekiliiihiieffifd akin aled iii eaitree .

In commenting uponiiii, the Commissioners say that, "miluarpeldeftains who cut red; tape always do it with their swords; and historrProvea that the throat of the coun try suffers quite so much as the tape does lathe operation." Henry Cli►y The arrangements in New York for the celebration of the•next anniversary of the birth-day of Henry Clay (12th inst.) are upon a more comprehensive scale than usual. This is partly owing to a desire, on the pest of a few of our public men, to find occasion for the expression of political opinions, which it has not been deemed judicious to indulge very often since the commencement of this war. Democrats, HS well as Old Line Whigs, will take part. The presence of Messrs. Crittenden and Davis, of Kentucky, is confidently expect ed, and there is a possibility, likewise, I ant intormed, that Ex-President Fillmore will make it convenient to attend.
