WCKETARY REWARDS CONFIDENTIAL OPINION OF THE RMANCTPA- TION PROCLAMATION, Dprakrenr ov Stare, Wasurworor, Feb. 27, 1802, ‘Bm—It is Fepresented to us that equally in Great tesin and in France the cause of the Union is prejudiced by ‘the aseumytion that tho government which maintains it 4 favoradto—er, at least, not unfavorable—to the perpe- “@uaiion of slavery. This. ingident 1s one of the most ¢u- rious an€ justructive ones which has occurred in the ~eourse of this controversy, ‘The administration was elected and came into its trust upon the croun ef its declared oppositjan to the exten- sion of slavery. The party of slavery; for this reacon, arrayed jtself mramst, not only the Adwinictration, Dut the Cnion itself, and iMaugurated a eivil war for the over- throw of the Poion and the establishment of an exclusive slayeholding eontederacy. ing the political priveiple, we meet them in the*battlefeld and in defence of the Uniow. ‘The contest for Efe absorbs ail the interest that had existed, growing opt of the previons contest of ideas. But what must be the effect? If the confederacy prevatis, flavery will have a constitutional, legitimaie and ac Know ledged state, devoted to itself as_the paramount ob ject of the national exictence. If the Union prevails, tho Rovernment wilt be administered by a majority hostile to the fortification and perpetuation of slavery. Slavery in the siaveholding States will there be left i the care of the people of those States just ae it was leit at the or ation of the government in all of the States except Mussuchusette, Jt might admit of doubt whether it would have been able to recover ‘ts former strength had th ebolding States acquiesced in the election ana Avoided civil war. Hut what ground is there to fear such a rouewal of strength after having been defeated in arms against the Union’ What is the operation of the war? “Wo baye entered Virginia, and already five thousand slaves, emancipated Simply ‘by the appearance of our forces, are upen the hands of tbe federal government there.’ We have Janced on ‘the const of South Carolina, and already nine thousand similarly emancipated slaves hang upou our tam)e EMANCIPATION YROCLAMATION UNNECES®.RY AND TS HORRORE \duge Ww! am, tir, your obedient servant, B.

DEPARTMENT oF STATE, Wastimeton , Noy. 10, 1362 Six —It Is probable that the ground which the enemies of the Union in Europe will next assume, in prosecuting their war against it, will be an alleged delection of popular support of the government at the “elections recently held in the loyal States. ‘The reports of the results of these elections in the forms adopted hy the presaare calculated, though not dorigned, to give plausability to this position. i observe that these reports classify the members of Con- Altoough the war has not beeu waged against slavery, Yot the army acts Iminediately-as an emuncipating cru: Bade.

Richard Law, Fripay, Dec. 5—6 P. M. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury, which we publish in another column, sets at reat the long agony of Wall street on the subject of the future financial policy of government. Mr. Chase pronounces emphatically against further issues of legal tender paper. In his opinion “ it will be un- wise, unless circumstances greatly change, to au- thorize the increase of United States notes beyond the limit now fixed by law.’ His reliance for the amounts of money required for the prosecution of the war, over and above the product of taxes, cus- toms, land ales, &c., is upon loans, In the words of the report :— Our chief reliance, and the safest, must be upon loans. Without apy issues “of United States notes beyond the amount now authorized, it seems ceftain that loans for the whole amount required for the current year can be readily obtained at fair rates; and it may be confidently hoped that before its close the resources of the ‘country will be go well understood, ana the restoration of its ter- Titorial integrity so well agsured, that capitalists will not hesitate to supply whatever ‘may be needed for the sub- eeqvent year. This clear and emphatic language will set at rest the anxieties of those who expected that Mr. Chase, while not recommending more paper issues, would at the same time frame his report im such & manner as to give Congrees an excuse for author- izing them. The aggregate expenditures for the current Ses: are set down by the Secretary . $788 ,618,777 The revenue eas follo Receipts from duties, taxes, land sales, &¢ . see Realized already from loans. To be realized hereafter from loans 180,495 345 200,129,717 authorized 181,021,197 Defivit....-.». 2767942'617 Total . $78,518,777 To supply this deficit which the increased re- ceipts from interRal taxee and duties will decrease very materially—the Secretary expects to realize $50,000,060 by the organization of banks under the scheme unfolded in his report, and $25,000,000 by enlarging the limit for temporary deposits. The balance, of about $200,000,000, he feels confident that he can raise ‘‘by loans at fair rates, without any further issues of United States notes beyond the amounts now authorized.» He would prefer, if he had the cheice, that the bonds to be negotiated by him should be three years seven- thirty notes, convertible into 5-20 bonds, bearing six per cent interest. But upon this he doesnot insist. He merely asks of Congress to authorize a larger issue of bonds than was authorized at laet session, and to remove the present absurd restric” tion on the sale of bonds below par. ‘These are the leading features of one of the most important financial statements that was ever issued from Washington. There are other matters in the report, especially the point referring to the gradual and comp:lsory withdrawal of q}l existing bank notes from circulation and the substitution of United States notes for them, which will demand comment hereafter. At present, the far more im- portant feature of Mr. Chase’s policy—namely, the abandonment of the paper money system, and the xeturn to sound methods of finance—is likely to engross public attention to the exclusion of all other topics, The news of this change in Gur financial policy will be hailed with delight throughout the country. Its first consequence will be a decline in gold, which will involve a cor- responding decline in all those articles of merchan- dise which have been inflated by the inflation of gold or the depreciation of the currency. The very rumor that Mr. Chase would oppose further issues of paper caused a decline of 3 per cent in gold this morning. Tea, sugar, coffee, and all other articles consumed by the poor, which have advanced to exorbitant prices in consequence of the advance in gold, will now fall, and the farmer and the mechanic, who have been nearly ruined by the depreciation of the currency, will once more begin to see their way clear to earn a living. The national currency, which has fallen to 26 @ 27 discount, in consequence of the fears of a deluge of paper money, and whose disgraceful position has done the na- tional cause more injury abroad than all our mili- tary reverses, will now approximate more closely to the specie standard. Our national credit, vest- ng securely upon an intelligible and sound fuan- policy, and upon the largest public revenue in the world, will stand higher than it has done since the war broke out. It ie true that the mar- ket price of government securities will probably fall on the announcement of new loans. But it will not fall as much as gold, and the fall will con- sequently be in efiect an advance. It is far better for the country to se)l bonds at 90, when gold is 110, than to keep bonds up to 101, as at present, with gold up to 130. A time must come, and be- fore very long, when the large revenue of the United States will satisfy every one that there is no better investment in the world than United States securities; when foreign capital will be at- tracted to them across the ocean, and domestic capital will desert railway bonds and stocks for investment in our national debt. The country has had a narrow escape. The pressure that was brought to bear upon Mr. Chase by speculators in this city, bankers and holders of stocks and other property, in favor of a further issue of paper, for the purpose of still further inflat- ing values, was tremendous.® Jn Wall street, where everybody, or nearly everybody, is interested in favor of inflation, the most ingenious devices were employed to frighten the Secretary. He was told, and that, too, by persons who should have known better, that loans could not be negotiated for want of currency. With nearly $400,000,000 of currency afloat the North was depicted as being unable to pay the government $5,000,000 a week. Members of Congress, innocent, perhaps, of stock operations, bnt cach of them in his circle anxious to become richer by more issnes of paper, gave decided Opinions in favor of this policy. Bankers, fearfy] of taxes upon their issues, magnified the scarcity of currency, and invented a most incredible theory of general hoarding to account for it. It is highly creditable to Mr. Chase that he withstood these effor(s, and porsued the course which justice, the interests of the people and the credit of the gov- ernment demand, It now remains for Congress to do its duty. We placed on record yosterday the views of Mr, Spaulding, chairman of the Snb- Committee on Ways and Means, to which this cur- rency matter will be referred. We noticed also the published views of Mr. Hooper and Mr. Thad deus Stevens. All these gentiemensix months ago expressed decided reluctance to flood the country with pap ‘They will now preserve a consistent record, and do their duty to their constituents,and to the country by acting upon the recommenda tions of Mr. Chase withont delay, The tables accompanying the report, showing the amount of the debt, and the resources of the country, &e., will be found in snothereolumn.
