THE PRESIDENT’S LATE LETTER. Usually, when a public functionary ap pears beforp the pnhly-L. -ttnw'ia amuMd Iq, and commented upon, by tbe public press at tbe time of its oc currence, and there’s an end to it. The 11 Bunsbyisms” of Mr. Lincoln, however, are not permitted to pass so hastily into oblivion. His late letter to hia old neigh bors in Springfield, Illinois, seems partic ularly attractive to his most ardent admi rers, and so it must have been to the lead ing enthusiastic Abolitionists to whom it was addressed. The reader will remem ber, that when ‘‘Honest Old Abe’’ was leaving his home lor Washington, in the Spring of 1861, he, after requesting the villagers to t; pray for him”—suddenly became hilarious and told them some of his best jokes; among which was one allu ding to the troubles of the country which he felicitously illustrated by declaring that there was “nobody hurt.’ 7 He was, in deed, upon that memorable occasion, From grave to pay; from li rely to severe.” The rebellion, which threatened, had no terrors for him. The perpetuity of a Union, which for so many years caused the Jacksons, Websters, Clays and Casses of our country so much solicitude, was not at all in danger, in the brilliant imag ination of a village attorney. And, so he went on, and is going on telling hia jokes, to the infinite amusement of his toadies, and the numberless contractors who are growing opulent off the very agony o the people, But we are pnder the impreasiou that, the President’s last communication to the people of Springfield, was not so cordially received as his confident, statement to them of there being ‘ ‘nobody hart, 17 After two and a-half years of bloody execution, in which a million of our people have been sacrificed, with a debt of nearly two thousand millions of dollars al ready hanging over us, while almost ev ery household is “contracted into one brow of woe, !T to be told by our President that he sees no way to end our troubles, is not what was expected from him. And yet, oar Abolition politicians seem charm ed with the prospect. The Gazette of this city is in exstacieß of delight with the let tes and declares that it is not only pecu liarlythe President’s own, but that no oth er man could have written it than himselt. If the Gazette intended this for irony, Jit would be admirable, but it does not; it 1b an ebulition of downright admiration for a letter, .which informs the world that Oar civil war is not likely to terminate, until the people of the Southern States are subjugated and their slaves made free. This is the reason why the extreme Abo litionists are constantly referring to the President’s letter. It promises them Southern desolation, and they gloat over it with all the ferocity of the Hircan tiger. An announcement from the President that the rebellion was about over, that the States were again to be united, and that “grim visaged war had smoothed hiß wrinkled front>” would throw these fan atics into a paroxism of rage, but tbe prospect of continued war in the hope of devastating the South, and effecting negro 1 emancipation, makes therajoyousln spirit and fanatically fond oflhim who makes the announcement. The President sees no way to obtain peafce, except by vigor ous war ; but that.functionary has not, by official acts, labored for peace, but on the contrary for interminable and sanguinary war. Against his own j udgment he permit ted the savage and unrelenting fanatics of his party to force him to sign their acts of emancipation and confiscation, which he knew and previously avowed, would only more thoroughly unite the South in j rebellion, and but* a few weeks since he denied a hearing to the Vice President ot the rebel States, for fear, perhaps, that that person desired to offer terms for the cessation of hostilities. The simple truth is that the necessities of the Abolition party are greater, in the estiinationof the President, than are those of the country. He cannot afford to have peace just now, the war must go on and the Southern States kept out of the Union until after the Presidental elec tion. TVith these Stateß out, and a big army to control the votes of the border States,- and another army ot contractors and sutlers operating everywhere, the President and his party hope to retain power. What after that may tollow we cannot conjecture, a military despotism likely, or perhaps an Empire, For the Post. HON. WM. D. KELLY AND GOV. CURTIS’S HONESTY. NUMBER TWO. Messrs. Editors Post:— ln the reply of Judge Kelly in your issue of yesterday, to your correspondent, “Union,” of the preceding day I find the gentlemen de nies mv statement in relation to what he did say and “that the note sent him was not received until he was done speakiug.” Now Messrs. Editors I did not complain with that which lie did say about the hon esty of Gov. Curtin but with what he did not say. The communication politely asked him to give his opinion. The .1 udge that evening did not say that the Gover nor was either honest, loyal or patriotic and he .dismisses the inquiry by saying he did not receive the communication until he was done Bpeaking. If this is so then he had time enough, for immediately on closing his remarks he Boated himself on the stage behind the speakers stand, open ed&ndread the note and hau plenty of time to reply before the meeting adjourn ed had he wished to do so, lor after he concluded hia speech, ex-Gov. JohnsoD made a short address to the meeting. But I suppose Messrs. Editors I should be content as in the Judge’s communication to you he says: “he believes in Governor Curtin’s honesly and patriotism” and my object has been accomplished in having the Judge’s opinion. He should not forget to insnk the* peo ple hereafter and in his speeches incorpo rate that the Governor was honest with his transactions with Bucky Neal and the shoddy clothing furnished Pennsylvania soldiers and the transaction in relation to the repeal ot the tonnage tax. A 8 1 understand the Judge is yet in this vicinity trying to conciliate the lioncst vo ters of the Republican party ot this sec tion of the State and who are well ac quainted with the acts committed by hon est (?) Andy. One question more, 1 would ask of the Hon. Judge is: does he believe that Andrew G. Curtin denounced Know Nothingisin and if heia iußt-la 4—*- H uc3-jeu Decause in my former com munication I charged that Judge Kelly at tempted to deceive the naturalized citi zens present making it appear that Judce Woodward was antagonistic to their inter ests while he forgot to tell them that An drew G. Curtin was ODe of the leadi: g Know-Nothings in Pennsylvania pledged to prescribe citizenß of foreign birth.— Will the Hon. Judge give us his opiuiou whether Andrew G. Curtin is the friend of the Irish and German now fighting for the Union? •Win. MoE! Jonathan For the Morning Post. THE ABOLITIONISTS OPPOS ED TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED BTATEK. Mr. Editor :—Ever true and faithful to the notorious reputation they have estab lished for themselves, of deadly hostility to the great charter of our Liberties, the Abolitionists have placed themselves on the* Record fair and square in battle array in opposition to the Constitution of these Stales. In the address of their State Central Committee, the following is de clared to be the platform on which they plant themselves in the present Campaign, “Our platform is brief and plain, end comprehensive. We believe that the will of the people lawfully expressed is the Supreme haw. “Now compare this rank treason, with the following, fromthe sixth article t)f the Constitution, and you have ’he whole question at issue in a nutshell. The cry of “ Copperhead ” is nothing more nor leas than a blind, while these midnight assassins carry only their infer nal designs upon the rights and liberties of the people. Well may it be said that eternal vigilance is the prince of Liberty Bat read the sixth section. This Constitution and the laws of the United States, which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made or which shall be made under the author ity of the United States, shall be the su jtreme law of the land ; and the judges in every-State shall be bound thereby, any thing in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary, notwithstanding. “ The Abolitionistß 6ay, that the will of the people is the Supreme law, while the Democracy standing on high national ground holding aloft the Constitution of the United States, fearlessly and boldly asserts that that time honored instru ment, and the lawß o f the United States, which shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made, or which shall be made under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land. Standing on such a platform, who can doubt the result on the second Tues day of October. Union'. Southern Shoe Merchants Settling Two or three shoo dealers from Nash ville, Tenn., are in Boston this week, try ing to adjast their indebtness. One of them has settled outright at ninety cents on the dollar; and the others are paying fifty, to sixty percent, —Shoe and Leather Reporter , For the Post. forcing popular-customs A war of subjugation may laßfc for many generations ; but leave 'with those with whom you are at war, their own peculiar customs and institutions, and it is seldom difficult to arrive at peace* The princes of Transylvania have Jong endeavored to subjugate the Siculians to their ideas of social and civil customs, and the Sicu lians seceded by fleeing to their forests and mountains, and refusing to enlist in the army or pay the accustomed taxes. — On the accession of Sigismond in 1595, their old and severe usages were abindon ed. He restored to them all their aicient privileges and prerogatives; and very Boon .after they were found descendiig in multitudes from their mountains, langed themselves under his standards, aid de voted their lives and fortunes to Hm.~ After that this people, poor, sober, vigor ous, and prond of twelve centuies of freedmen, adored Sigismond. Aid he always dealt nobly with them. Tothem he owed his success in the siege ofTer* govish, which contained an immensesup* ply of military stores belonging U the Turks, and he gave all the booty bhi soldiers. Such men are fit for leadiiß o the people. It is exceedingly dangerous to nseoi to make use of people against their wll or contrary to their habits and customs. And this is much more true of ignorant peqde than of intelligent ones, tor they haveiot the Bame facility in changing their halit3 and customs, and do not so readily seethe necessity of it.. Conscription violatesthe most habitual thoughts of freemen. Vhy then should it be thought wonderful feat many of the ignorant people of New Yjrk should resist it? Though they wsre wrong, yet the government ought to hsve known how to manage public affairs aoas not to causq such opposition. No dotbt, mauy refused to join in that disorder, le cause they were able to escape from ftret by paying $2,00. The common people of Rome often re fused to enlist, and combined against on. senption, when they thought themsebes ill-used by those in power. In 12GC, a part of the army ot the Florentines tid worse than this. Because they were sis* peelod of disaffection and forced iuto the service, they deserted to the enemy. Aid in 1222,. Florence lost one of its best bodies of auxiliaries, by putting them ai der other colors and other leaders, and causing a suspicion that even their general was to be put under others. A friead mentioned the other day that a conscrip tion of Great Britain had produced riots there, and 1 have looked up the case, ft was in 1701, and only 32,000 men were required for the whole kingdom. Yet it caused great commotions in the northern counties of England, and a terrible riot in Northumberland, which had to be quelled by the military, with the loss of forty-five lives, and three hundred miserably wound ed, including many women and children ; and then <h- law received a general and sulien obedience. This is manifestly a very bungling kind of government. Let the government keep with the heart of the people for the Constitution and the Union> and there will be no lack ot voluntary bol diers ; but they will not be Abolitionists. GIBSON. A Free Ballot. Some of the Abolition journals in Ohio are charging upon the Democrats of that State nation 61 voters from adjoining States. The Boston Courier very properly says that “these slanders are evidently advanced as pretexts for a military surveillance of the Democratic party. Every true lover of the country must deprecate the consequences of such interference, but when a free ballot is denied, forbearnce under tyranny ceases to be a virtue .” This is the spirit of the Democracy of Pennsylvania. They know that every effort wonld be made by the minions of despotism to prevent a free and fair ex ercise of the elective franchise if the lat ter did not fear the indignation of an out raged people. Knowiug this, the Demo cratic masses have not hesitated to ex press their views clearly on this impor tant question. Military or any other kind of interference would provoke justi fiable resistance everywhere throughout the Commonwealth. This fact cannot too plainly or too frequently be stated. Let those in power study the temper of the times and tread carefully upon the smoul dering volcano which may burst forth “in the twinkling of an eye” and overwhelm them with destruction. Ihe Hebei Trade at Matamoras. The officers of the Government steame Bermuda, which arrived at Pniladelph i cyi Sanday, state that while on blockadm duty at the mouth of the Rio Grande riv er they had ample opportunity to observe the manner of foreigu trade with the reb els. They say : “The port of Matamoras is a Mexican importing and exporting city. The reb els use it as the chief city of the cotton trade of the South. The cotton is con veyed across the Rio Grande to Matamo ras. The merchant vessels of France and England clear for Matamoras and ancher in the stream. Tugs carrying fifty or six ty bales of cotton then come from the city, and the cotton is hoisted on board the vessels in neutral waters. While the Bermuda lay off the Rio Grande a fleet of merchantmen were in the river, and a continual line of tugs passed to and fro. The steamers thus receive their cargoes and leave the river. They carry contra band cargoes, but the 'meteor of England or the lilies of France floats from the mast head. The United States gunboats may approach, but they cannot take the vessel in custody and confiscate her cargo. The blockading squadron, the Princess Royal and others lie off Matamoras, but they are powerless to stop the neutral traffic. Over the blue waves go the mer chantmen, and they reach London, Liver pool, or the French ports of entry. There a cargo ot supplies, provisions, clothing, shoes, every article that the Confederacy needs, is shipped ; the'prowa again turn seaward : the course is directed towards the Mexican Gulf, and the cargo is land ed at Matamoras. Such is English and French neutrality.” W e had rather do anything than ac knowledge the merit of another, if we can help it. We cannot bear a superior or an equal. Hence ridicule is sure to pre vail over truth, for the malice of man kind thrown into the scale give thecasting weight. THE DIFFICULTIES OF FRANCE N MEXICO. The following sensible article, from ; V Opinion* Rationale of Paris, tHo-organ ' of Prince Napoleon, exhibits-some of the difficulties which surround the attempt of the French Bmpefor tb establish a for eign prince in Mexico: ‘Admitting that the South should be formed into a separate State, and that its recognition by France shall aid in estab lishing it, it ig certain that our presence in Mexico will be more disagreeable to than even to the northern -republic- ' fact, the slaveholding South has one ] chance of living and resisting hostile brethren, from whom it separate itself; that is to spreadpropagate around it its domestic institution, Sla very being stationary w iii be undermined or violently by the North. The South ca* exist by taking an offensive For a long time it has been awrfe of this ; and its efforts to ac quire or conquer Cuba, Nicaragua and the small republics of Central ‘America, and the absorption already commenced in Texas, demonstrating sufficiently that the South understands the necessity which weighs upon it, and urgeß it to conquest and the extension of slavery. If, there fore, the South should consummate a sep aration from the North, there can exist no doubt that it will look with an evil eye upon the French flag which protects Mexico from the attainment of its avowed desires. Oat Mexican establishment will have a threatening neighbor. If, on the contrary, the South should succumb, and the great republic be reconstructed, we can expect no better fortune. It will not be to propagate slavery that we snail be attacted, but to repulse European in fluence and to maintain a doctrine more or less authentic (that of Monroe,) and , perhaps to give employment to the gen erals, to the five hundred thousand soldiers ! who have contracted warlike habits, and whom the end of civil war will leave without employment.” A RICH SCENE One of our most respectable citizens, who is blessed with the prettiest and the best of wives, and one little “responsibil ity," has been absent from home tor Borne day s. ,His spouse during his absence, had discharged the servant girl, and employed in her place the wife of a soldier who had just returned from the war. The little women being lonely in her husband's absence induced the soldiers wife to share her bed with her. On the night the loving husband returned, the woman had before retiriug been engaged in repairing her soger man's coat, and had carelessly thrown it upon a chair in the sitting room. The auxious husband returned about twelve oclock, admitted himself with his uight key, found every thing quiet, and noiselessly Btruck a light, when the first thing that attracted nis at tention was the soldier's coat upou the chair near hia wife's bed-room. Instantly the green-eyed monster seized him, and stealthily throwing the light upon the bed, he saw his wife reposing upon the same pillow with a mascaline appearing per aou, the woman who was with her wear ing her hair shingled, and being coarse featured. He was lor a momeut transfixed with rage, but booh determined to wreak the direst vengeance upon the supposed neiipou,' aiuT'wilh murder in his eye, anvanced toward the sleeping couple. At this jancture the soldier’s wife awoke, and seeing the—to her—strange man ap proaching with savage aspect, jumped from the bed with a Bcream, making a dash for a closet, where she was for a moment safe. This of coarse awoke the wife. Her attempts to learn what the trouble was were fruitless: The enraged husband would not listen. He rushed to the closet and dragged forth the trembling woman from her hiding place. Upon bringing her to the light and discovering her sex the scene may well be imagined, tmt we shall not undertake to describe it.— Elmira (A r . T.) Press. THE MEETING AT UNION TOWN. After a correspondence b2twcen the Chainman ot the County Committee of Fayette and the Chairman ot the State Committee, it has been argreed to hold the State MaBS Meeting at Uaiontown on the 30th of September, instead of the 17th as fixed by the Sate Committee at their late meeting. This will undoubtedly be one of the greatest meetings ever held in Pennsylvania. Some of the most dis tinguished Champions of Democracy will be there to sf eak. Commercial of yesterday re marks thus : “Should Pennsylvania and Ohio elect those gentlemen, would they not, in connection with Seymour of New York, constitute a beautiful trio. The three great States represented by three notorious copperheads in their executive chairs, the days of the Republic would then be doomed.” Had the three Slates mentioned, had the three named gentlemen at their head at the beginning of the present Adminis tration they would have prevented the re bellion. Abolition governors sent fierce abolition agitators to the peace Congress, purposely to defeat aoy compromise that might prevent war. They afterwards hounded the President into the adoption of their radical measures. Had we Judge Woodward for Govenor, we would not be in dread of rebel invasion ot our State, nor would we find him running to Wash ington to obtain “permission” to raise troops for our State’s defense. Judge Woodward would not play any such con temptible part as that ; he would raise the force required, and not be compelled to look to the /‘copperhead Governors” of New York and New Jersey, for that as. sistance which the national administration refused to grant.

Hill, of the rebel army, re cently sent word across the Rappahan nock, from Fredericksburg, that he would like to see an officer of our army. The wish being made known to Gen Custer, the General himself crossed. The motive of Gen. Hill's request was to make in quiry respecting Gen. Gregg, with whom he was once a classmate and intimate friend. Gen. Custer received a note from Colonel Hill which was forwarded. Col. Hill remarked confidentially to Gen. Cus ter that peace was near at hand. This assertion was also voluntarily made by two rebel officers who were in the boat which conveyed Gen. Cußter, and by others on shore. On being asked the reason of the assertion they would not communicate it, simply reiterating their opinion. Col. Hill would not state what command he was connected with, but ap peared to be a staff officer, At least one thousand cavalry, and in fantry from the rebel army thonged about the wharf as spectators, when Gen Custer landed. His reception by the officers°was exceedingly cordial. Notwithstanding thc-se expectations of peace, the rebels expected another battle near Culpepper. They did not anticipate attacking us, but presumed that our army being strongly reinforced by the conscription, would speedily assume the offensive. 1 - 5 General Lee is yet in Richmond, doubt less in consultation among the heads of the rebel government in earnest. Great amicability exists between our pickets and those of the enemy. Yesterday about one thousand men belonging to both armies bathed together in the Rappahannock.
