A written ,communication wan -sent to
the Secretary. of War On Saturday last by,
a former member of the , Maryland legis
lature, and a cousin 'of the rebel General
Lee, stating that during' the battle of An
tietam General Lee had his ,headquarters
'-at his house; that on the night after the
battle he sent a messenger into our hues
to General McClellan, requesting an inter
view at his headquarters ; that General
McClellan, accompapied by some of his"
staff, rode that night through the rebel,
lines, add had a long interview with Gen.
I Lee, who, among , other things, informed
McClellan that his army was crossing the
Potomac. The writer has been - subpos
naed before the Committee on the Con
duct of the War.
• This precious concoction, set afloat by
political malice, to be copied . into all the
lesser Republican , journals, where contra
diction will never be permitted to follow
it, is as wicked and baseless an invention
as the father of lies ever coined. Aside,
from its intrinsic absurdity it is capable of
being disproved and put thi,shaine by a
cloud of witnesses. The ReptibliCans fear
General McClellan as a candidate for the
Presidency, and resort to calumny to kill
him off. Their efforts wear the-appear
ance of a deliberate plan artfully executed.
If
_it, were not for then' • ,ingeniously con•
trived falsehoodsoduck - to with the most
malicious pertinacity after they have been
disproved a dozen times over, the. Jaco

the confidence of the people a single day.

The charge that Gen. McClellan had a
secret interview with Gen. Lee the night
after the battle 'of Antietam has proved
to be a fiction of a disordered brain. The
person who made the astounding state
ment is a. Mr. Francis 'Waldron. a Mary

The New York "Evssing Post confirms
the Cbstinstelats statement. in `the following
editorial remarks : ,
As we never gave circulation to the
story that Generals McClellan and Lie
had held; an interviewafter the battle of
Antietam, we are not 'now called upon
particularly to notice the refutation of it;
but we canndt refrain from remarking
upon the facility with which,certain edi
tors of newspapers admit such ridiculous
and improbable tales to their columns.

thousands of readers. There ought to be
in every journal one man at least-with
discernment enough to suppress these
idle rumors, Which are too often calurni-

To make the refutation still more
positive we 'add the following froin the
Ilibeas's Washington correspondent ;
It is stated that the detectives who'
have had Waldron in charge have got
from him a confession in writing that he
was drank when he Kid the story of the
interview between McClellan and Lee,
and that he Vita on John

entire blame of troubling the War De

The testimony of three V their leading
organs should be enough to satisfy even
the most bigoted Abolitionist that the
story is false in evert particular. We
shall now see whether the lesser Adminis
tration prints, which caught np the lie in
such undue haste, will be manly enough
to give it a prominent and decided con;
tradiction.
Noumea Demociata, like all northern
citizens, are from conviction anti-slavery

they have been consistently opposed to
slavery, believing it to be alike contrary
to natural justice and a wise, economy.—
Outside of the States of which they are
citizens they have felt that it is a itiabject

country would have exhibited a different

Mr. Bates' letter is eloquent. It will

But we cannot expect . reform and re

To —,
' Hapax : Being confined to my -sick
room, I have an opportunity, which net-
Cher my public office nor the court room
affords, to acknowledge your note of Jan.
30, written in behalf of the Brooklyn and
Long Island Fair, and in aid of the Sani
tary Commission.
You ask for an autograph uncondition
ally, and fora sentiment, " if agreeable."
Now, my dear lady, an autograph is a
cheap thing and can be easily furnished,
whether sick or well; but a sentiment is
quite another affair, and •doe* not sort
very well with the nauseous physic which
I am required to take to-day.
Nevertheless, the cause being so good,
and withal its advocatS elady (to which
high authority 1 habitially bow). I must
strain every point and try to give you
something sentimental, but not of the
sickly kind.
I am beginning to grow old, and am a
very old-fashioned man; for in spite of
the rushing current of new opinions, I
still believe that we once,had good old
'
times, good old principles. andold
men to profess them and act =out,
and a good Constitution worthy to be pre
served to the latest posterity. '
In fact, I begin to suspect myself to be
littleor nothing better than an old fogy;
for I can't help believing, with Jackson,
that the Constitutional Union of the
States mutt be preserved ; and I still have
undoubting faith in Washington when he
warns us that we cannot 'preserve our free
institutions without a frequent recurrence
to theifirst_principles of Tr government.
That is my sentiment, Madam.' I fear
it Is growing very unpopular, but I can't
help that. God knows that I would help
it it I could, for I have little hope of im
provement from the efforts of men who
fancy themselves so much wiser than their
fathers were, and so much better than the
laws which they made for our good.

The following is the omission which is
charged td have been made in the Con
gressional edition of Qen. McClellan's re
port. 'The authorities at Washington
place the` blame upon a careless composi
tor-in the Government printing office :
" It - will be'leen from what has preceded
that I lost no time that could be avoided
in moving the Army of the Potomac from
the Peninsula to the support of the Army
of Virginia; that I spared no effort to
hasten the embarkatibu of the troops at.
Fort Monroe, Newport News and York
town, remaining at Fort -Monroe myself
until the moss of the - Army'had sailed ;
and that after my arrival at Alexandria I
left nothing in my power undone to for
ward supplies and reinforcements to-Gen.
Pope. I sent with the troops that moved
all the cavalry I could get hold of. Even
my personal escort was sent out upon the
line of , the railway as a guard, with the
provost and camp guard at lieadquarters,
retaining haw than one hundred peen,
many of whom were orderlies, invalids.
members Of band, etc. ; all the headquar
ters teams that arrived were sent out with
supplies and ammunition, none tieing re
tained even to move the headquarters
camp. The squadron that habitually
served as my personal escort was left at
Falmouth with General Burnside, as he
was deficient In cavalry."
Como et the Present Mesh
It is understood that the leaders of the
Fremont faction have determined to or
ganize in every election district through
out the North, irrespective of the present
Republican organisatiOn. with a view to
run the Pathfinder as a candidate, wheth
er. Mr. Lincoln is nominated by the June
convention or not: They allege for an
excuse for this revolutionary party action
that the convention is certain to be con
trolled by the great aboddy-eintracting
and ofce•holding interests. They assert
that General Simon Cameron is comman
der-in•chief of the Lincoln forces, and that
he has arranged the delegations from all
the Northern States in -fiivor of Mr. Lin
coin's advance; hence they decline to
recognize the validity of a made-up con
vention, and will contest the canvass unto
the close of the polls. This movement,
onnection with Poineroes_speech, is
cresting no little excitement in Admini
stration circles.

The fan, is, at the time of his electiotoOdr.
Lincoln, and many of his Republican Moods,
had some reverence for) the Constitution and
the laws, and were honaetly . dispoied to Obey
them, and to do what l i they supposed' to be
right. But in a weak) moment they yielded
themselves to the fell demon of fanaticism,
which knows no resent, laid they now pro

the President of the United States!,
It is Universally admitted that. under our
system of government; all power is inherent
in the people, that they ant posses" sov
ereign, or the highest powers known to s gov
ernment or political orgsaisation. Snob being
the deflation of that i , eoiereign power which
'rendes witikthe peoil . we postale* that it is
indivisible, that it. einaot be delegated, as'
two highest powers in the name govarament
would net only be an absurdity, but 'an' utter
impossibility,— " icleereigaty, delegate' or
grants power, but Sovereign powees, - stittrr,l

creator.':
Sovereignty residis in the mating, aid
not in the creative Own I it snakes constitu

meats, which it may it pieta:re ti4er, amend,
or entirely Abrogate; this we perceive is a
natural right, which? ke people of "one gener
ation cannot prohibit a anneoding generation
from exercising. As the nature'

The; federal govertinsent was adopted, by the
people of the .Statoi, each acting foe itself,
voluntarily and in its "flovereigo)cepaeity."
The government sod framed was designed to
be perpetual; sad no power, save ithae - which
crested it, can literilt. To say that as indi

this status, is - to *stead for the akinrdity
that the part is gesster . thaa the whole, the

It Is the right sild sworn duly: of the Pre
