No donbt they feel an even docper interest in the possibilities of his foreign policy, and would be better pleased to know what he proposes to do in relation to those European governments that have, in the progress of this war, had such heavy scores chalked up against them in this conatry. What, for instance, does he propose to say to England in relation to the Alabama, and how high does he rate the damage done by her that is justly chargeable to Great Britain? What are bis ideas in relation to that proclamation of neutrality which told all tho disorderly elemenis of English society that the United States was, in tho estimaie of her Majesty's government, on a level with an insurrection? Above all, what will he have to say to France in relation to Mexico? What.are his views on the Canning-Monroe doctrine? On this latter subject there have already been several Cabinet meetings, and though, perhaps, the plan of action has not yet been definitely settled, it is whispered that the subject will be formally deter- mined before many daya, It is even whis- pored that the prelimiuary steps will be taken by Mr. Seward, though that gentleman will retire from the Cabinet before the summer is over. We cannot tell our European friends exactly how the President proposes to opon this subject; but we can tell them how it will be done if the President acts as the peoplo of this country desire to seo himact. He will, then, at once not!fy the Emperor Napoleon to withdraw from Mexico every man in the pay of France, end to relinquish at once all purpose of interference in tho affairs of any American State. He will, at the same time, scnd a com- mission to England and invite tho British gov- ernment to act in concert with us on this point, just as Mr. Canning invited the United States to go “hand in hand with England” on the same point. And as he sends the representatives of the United Siates to those two governments, he will, at the seme timc, make a wholesome dis- play, in the European waters, of a squadron of twenty iron-clad ships, undor the Old Salaman- der Vice Admiral Farragut. Such is, we say, what the President wil! do if he acts up to the present sentiment of the people. We can safely advise bim io such 1 course. It is one in which the people will sustain him to tho utmost limit of the jonal power. For this principle of our national policy that forbids the intervention of Duro- pean governments in the affairs of this conti- nent is one that has grown with our growth, It ia the correlalive of that older idea urged by Washing on that we ourselves should kecp freo from European complications. The two go together, and as we will keep out of Lurope, #0 Europe shal! keep at home, so far as this continent goes. Two or three goverrments may manage Kurope at their will, and keep the balance of power if they please. We are the balance of power on this side the Atlantic. lk may be well enough also for those Buropoan governmenis to rearrenge tho maps of Asia and of Afries, and to give law to ali the peo- me betwo mand Morocco; but that can- not be done on the same continent with the We are the England, tho France, the Germany and the Russia of this vee, end the sooner Europe discovers er it will be for the peaco of the chanan’s wretched admiuistration. Thompson did not steal thoso bonds—Iit was one of his clerks who stole them; and, of course, itis not for Thompson to say whether or how the clerk and the Secretary divided the spoils, Next we have a cock-and-bull story from Thompson of his innocence of eny villainous design in his associations with those rebel phosphorus incen- diaries detailed on the chivalric enterprise of burning down the city of New York and other cities in the loyal States. We have informa- tion, however, of a very positive character, coming through a member of that conspiracy, that Jacob Thompson “was the paymaster of those incendieries,” and that with all the rebel government money in his hands, he failed in some cases to meet his engagements, thus first cheating bis agents and then denying them. Next, this innocent 'Thompeon uses the card from the assassin Booth, found in President Jobnson’s room, as & bit of strong circumstan- tial evidence against the latter. In this Thomp- son jumps at the cbject of Booth as if he had been made convereant with the whole scheme beforehand, which was probably the case. Then follows from Thompson a stupid rigma- role on those pernicious, senseless, party clap- trap State rights and State sovereignty Ken- tucky and Virginia resolutions of 98 and ’99 in justification of secession, treason and the re- bellion,' and all its horrible enormities. The arch-traitor, Jeff. Davis, is thus made to appear o perfect model of patriotism, piety and purity. Finally, Thompson says there was no need of offering twenty-five thousand dollars reward for his arrest; because, like Sanders, if he felt sure of a trial according to law, he would de- liver himself up, but inasmuch as he has doubts upon this matter, he “will keep out of the way.” Accordingly he has left Canada for parts unknown, denying us even a clue to the route he bas taken, in omitting the place gene- rally given in the dating of a lctter. This is Thompson’s case as made out by him- self. But his Canadian financial operations remain wholly unexplained. Before the court at Washington Mr. Campbell, the first teller of the Montreal Ontario Bank, has testified that this Jacob Thompson’s account with that bank commenced May 80, 1864 (when he made his appearance in Canada with C.C. Clay, Hol- combe and Sanders, as an associate rebel peacemaker), and closed April 11, 1865, three days before the murder of President Lincoln; that the aggregate amount of his credits in said bank was $649,872 23, and that he has drawn it all out, except a small balance of $176 30; (bat he had transactions with other Canadian banks, including one of $50,000 with the Niagara Disirict Bank, at St. Catharine’s, (a check to the order of C. C. Clay); that the Ontario Bank had one or two transactions with Booth, including the bills of exchange found on his body; that Thompson, besides his opera- tions in sterling exchange, bought from the Ontario Bank, in July last, over $19,000 in greenbacks, and on the 14th of March last another (bousand, paying gold for them. These Canadian deposits of Thompson were in gold. Where did the money come from? Was it derived from those Indian bonds, or from the rebel Treasury at Richmond? Most likely from the rebel Treasury, and to meet the expenses of the “detached service” of the Canadian spics, polilical emissaries, pirates, highwaymen, incendiaries and assassins of Jeff. Davis. How wes this money expended? San- ders, Tucker and a whole lot of such desperate rebel adventurers bad to be supported, for the St. Albans raid and other robberies still leave a deficiency on their account, if we give them all those proceeds, ‘Thompson, there is strong roason to suspect, was the “oil well” of Booth and his gang of Confederate cutihroats. Then, we dare aay, Thompson paid out considerable sums for political purposes. We should like to know if Colorado Jewett, as ao volunteer peacemeker, ean account for any euch expenditures. We should like to know whether Thompson’s money had any- thing to do wiih the Chicago democratic plat- form. Can Messrs, Belmont and Bariow or the Hon.
