Besides, “it is too late.” Before the “Confederate Congress” can do anything towards arming and equipping the Southern slave population—even if it should zealously undertake to act as suggested—the struggle will be ended, and the so-called President Da- vis and his confederacy will be among the things of the past. The removal of the corner stone will not save the toppling fabric now, whatever might have been the result of such a proceeding in the beginning. The Macon speech of Davis, the furious but impotent efforts of Hood to extricate himself from Sherman, the still more desperate but equally futile efforts of Lee, right and left, to break through the tightening coils of Grant, are convincing evidences that the rebellion is in its dying struggles. But, if further evidence be demanded, we think that, to satisfy the most skeptical copperhead, we have only to point to the proposition of the Richmond Enquirer to make a last effort to save the “confederacy” by tearing away the foundation/upon which it atands. The Prive of Cotton—W Oar Govern: mont Should Do. Some very remarkabie and important orders have recently been issued by General Herron in the military district of Baton Rouge, of which he is commandant. These orders ma- terially interfere with free trade in cotton and other merchandise, reducing ail commercial dealings to a monopoly, subject to the control of a government special azent. All licegges for trade stores are revoked; no one is per- mitted in future to continue or open a store for the sale of any articles without a permit from this special agent, undor penalty of arrest and confiscation of his property to the Treasury Department. Neither can any one purchase nor ship any of the products of the country without permission, from this agent. Tais is certainly placing in the hands of a government official a large amount of authority, which, however it may be deemed necessary to extend by the military commander of the district for the proper government thereof, very seriously affects the price of cotton, the interests of the Treasury, and the prospects of the Union cause, a8 we shall show. Several days ayo a British steamer—the Vir- gi from Liverpool brought a cargo of cot- ton of over two thousaad bales into the pert of New York, a large portion of which was grown in the East Indies, shipped to Eagiand, and reshipped to America. This is very like bringing coalg to Newcastle, and the fact may be interpreted into a severe rebuke of the poli- cy of the administration. It is clear that we do not want cotton of foreign production here. There are at the present time ia the hands of the rebels not less than three million bales; but the government have throw. every obsta- cle in the way of its coming North to our At- lantic ports, except through the hands of a few favorites of the administration. In Texas, Arkansas and the Red river parishes of Loul- siana alone they hold over a million bales, in store and in the field, ready for saipmeat to Europe after it crosses the frontier into Mexico. It is absurd to suppose tbat the rebel holders of this cotton would prefer to ran the risk of the blockade from Wilmington and Matamoros rather than to sell it for greenbacks, without any risk, to Northern purchasers. This we assume to be a fact, and, takea in connection with the circumstances of the recent importa- tion of cotton from India, proves that the policy of the government on the cotton question is, to say the least of it, weak and foolish. Looking at the philosophical deduction from these facts what do we find—that every baie of cotton which we send to Hurope {rom tue North, instead of pormitting it to go frqin the South, weakens the rebellion and strengtiens as, in so far as wo draw for it ia gold while wa pay for itin the national paper currency, 2ad at the same time deprive the Southorn govern- ment ofao much of their credit in Kurope. Again, this policy bas put the price of cotton ap in Eutope one hundred per cent, and thus enhanced its value immensely as a financial resource to the enemy. if the means to pur- chase colton trom the Southern owner were left unrestricted we could have ebipped nearly amillion aad a half of bales from United States ports, which, at thirty cents a pound— which the revels get for it in Bngiand—atlow- ing five hundred pounds to the bale, would have yielded as from Europe from one bun- dred and fifty to two hundred millions ia gold, and ot the same time would have depreciated and indeed destroyed tho revel market there. The price of cottom in this market baa now reached from one dollar and twonty cents to one doilar and thirty cents, while the cotton monufactures ordinarily used in every family have increased im price from feen and twenty cents to elghty and ninety cents a yard, and all ether goods in proportion. These grievances falt upon the loyal poople of the North, the families of the men who aro fighting to put down the rebellion, aud not upon the revels. In avother viow, it con be shown that the un- restricted trade with the South in the purchase of cotton would sasist in subduing the rebel- lion by oveating a strong, binding link between Southern people and the Union.

Governor Seymour has been stumping it for the Chicago ticket in Pennsylvania. A cam- paign speech of his, delivered the other even- ing at Philadelphia, has been published full | length in some of the democratic papers, and the Governor is a man of.words. This speech, it follows of course, is a long-winded and tire- some rigmarole of electiomeering claptrap; but still there are several prominent points pre- sented in it worthy of a passing notice. Let us briefly consider them. 5 First, the speeoh is @ bill of indictments egainst the administration. It has proved a bad administration; it has mismanaged the war; it has pursued a policy of savage cruelty towards the non-combatants of the South and especially the people of the border slave States; it has violated the constitution in its arbitrary arrests of individuals, in its sup- pression of obrioxious newspapers, and built up oppressive taxations and a mountain of debt; it has prohibited the people of Indians, Ohio and Illinois from buying wéapohs of wat and ammunition; it has suspended at its dis- cretion the habeas corpus, and co forth—a budget of specifications in connection with which the administration has‘ committed many blunders. Especially have Mr. Lincoim and the party in power blundered in their expori- ments of confiscation, emaucipation and recon- struction, Yet all these things together are but ag dust im the balance weighed against this paramount, all absorbing and all important question—shall the rebellious Slates be made to submit to the government of the {nion, or shall the government submit to the rebellion? This is the great, coutrolling question, and it cannot be covered up‘ia the side issues ruised by Governor Seymour. The administration has certainly been laboring to put down the | Tebvellion, and its declared policy is to “fight it out on this line.” What is the policy of the democratic party? According to the Chicago platform it is peace-at-any-price, isasmuch as the war is declared in that platform a failure -- a compleie failure. With regard to the war Governor Seymour makes a nice distinction; our army and navy have been successful, but the administration hag failed. The Chicago platform, in effect, denounces the war and all concerned in it as wrong from the begioning and as a failure throughout, while Governor Seymour does not denounce tho war. On the contrary he accepts it, and recognizes our vic- tories, but thinks that we have had war and victories enough; that just as we stand, with the democratic party in power, we can and shall have peace. But just here the Governor is lost in a fog. What sort of a peace’ Jeff. Davis nas repeat- edly said of late that it must be the peace of Southern independence or Souchern subjaga- tion. In his late Macon speccb, in whicl he virtually confesses that bis cause is lost, be mates no sign of submission. Governor Sey- mour treate bim and h's rebeltious confederme Gonspirators very tenderly. He torgeis that the organization of a hostile confederacy with- in the Union, attempting by arms to destroy the Union, was the beginning of the war; and that, after all, had tiere been no rebellion against the government, the taxes, expenses, debts, corruptions, &., of Lincoin’s adminis- tration would probably have been no .groater than uader Bughanan’s, and probably much less. How is it, then, that, in the estimation of Gevernor Seymour, Linooln’s administration is the embodiment of all the crimes of a cruei despotism, while Je®. Davis is a model of in- jured innocence! In this conuection the peace promised by Mr. Seymour, as an oracle of the Chicago Con- vention though not cxactly ef the Chicago platform, becomes a vecy clondy sort of peace. } What is it tobe? [n his closiag remarka of this Philadelphia speech the Governor thus appeals to the “God of our fatuers :”— “May the Godof our fathers, Ho who gave the wisdom to frame our constitution and establish our Union, grant us the wisdom to retrace the steps which we have trod, to renew this Union, restore the supremacy of the con- stitution,” &e. Now what steps are kere to be retraced to restore the coustitution ? Accord- ing to leading democratic expounders, we have no constitutional right te coerce a seo¢ding State. Under this con- struction we must retrace our steps, by stopping this war of coerciou; and, secondly, by coufessing to the rebellious States that we have been wrong in prosesuting this war against them; thal secession is a constitutional right, and that the confederacy which, regard- ful of this doctrine, you were peaceably allowed to organize and set in motion uader the demo; cratic administration of Buchanan, will again be recognized as your right by the democratic party of the North if restored to power; and that if you cannot come back to us we will con- trive to come over to you. If this is what Governor Seymour mean, his appeal to the “God of our fathers” is the cream of hia speech. What does he mean? What is the peace which he proposes or expects by stopping the war? This is a question In the presence of which all the blunders and follies of Linooln’s admints- tration may be dismissed and will be over- looked by thegpeople. A Povix ror THe Forore Hisrortay.-—-When the future historian of this rebellion sits dowa to his task, nothing will appear to him more wonderful than tho fact that, during our pre-* sont diMontties, two great parties in this coun- try should have been so stupid aad deficiont in sagacity and patriotism as not to have selected and rallied round the greatest and best mon of the time to extricate il from its diiiculties. Two men of mediocre talent and less real clafms have beon tuken up as standard bearers, while our really great men are overlooked or ignored. While we have before our eyes the fact that Gve or six eplendid men, who, with pens as pointed as their swords, disflaying in- finite tact, talent and courage, are serving the Union at the risk of their lives, (wo men of emal! account ard set ap to claim the suffrages of the people, without the loast positive merit, for the highest office in their gift. What a aub- joot for historic contomplation! How will thia look a half contury hence? Happy are those who shall not live to read such a mortifying record of our want of common sense.

She sent ten thousand men to hold ber frontier against a power that loses twice that many men in a single battle, and bardty feets it. But Eagiand was also to be defended by volunteers. Great efforts were made to excite the English on this subject—to get those cold John Bulls enthusiastic, and to have the whole mass of the male population fat! into line as the Royal Rifles. But it wouldnt do. England covldn’t be brought out to auy such tune, and the whole enrolment amounted only to one bundred and forty thousand men. Eugland only bad that many men willing to say that they would fight, and whether evea that number would come to the seratoh for actual service is a very doubiful matter. these interes: There is no fulsifying or argu- ing away the admissions mude by him. They offer such incontrovertible evidence of the utter prosiration and hopelessness of the rebel cause that the most shameiess of its partisans of the English or French preas will not veu- ture to combat it, To persist in their formes course would be to prove to the world the truth of what has so often been agserted—that they have been purchase! by rebel gold,: and are insensible to every consideration ot honor and decency. it will be amusing, therefore, to witnezs the sudden revolution of opinions to which these speeches of Davis will lead. We should not be surprised to find the Londou Zimes at once throwing @ somersault which will bring it right up in favor of the North. How much hard abuse of us it will have to take back; how mavy predictions to falejfy will give it but little concern.
