| Restoration of the Union.
That Union, formed by the voluntary
will of the soverign people, which dispensed
blessings alike on the rich and the poor,
the bond and the free, is no more. It is
really an idle dream lo think oi preserving
that which is wholly and irretriveably lost.
It may be restored, if the proper policy
should be pursued by the Administration.?
! But the disgraceful history of the last two
years leaves not a shadow of hopo that any
other pjlicy, other than the fanatical poli
cy of the radical Republicans, will be pur
sued by the partizan office holders at
Washington. Mr. Lincoln has 30 far over
j rode the Constitution that it seems almost
mockery to call him President.
He is wedded to his idol, Abolitionism
and can only see that which promises a
support to his paramount cause. From him
nothing can be expected looking to a restor
ation of the Union as it was; for the Union
can only be restored by adheriug implicitly
to tho letter and spirit of the Constitution.
This instrument he has utterly set at
naught. The sacred rights guaranteed to
the people by the Constitution, have, one
after another, been torn from them. The
last lingering hepe has been blasted. The
only remaining chanco lor a restoration of
the Union, that with it our liberties may be
restored, is with the people. Can it be said
that a Government, formed by the spon
taneous will of the people, shall bo permit
ted to be destroyed by the agent whom a
portion of the people had elected to exe
cute the laws of that Government? Such
an unnatural event can scarcely be suppos
able. The people, in whom is vested the
rightful power of the Government, must
resume that power, and hurl from the po
sitions which they have disgraced, tho*e to
whom they havo entrusted the agency of
that power. It would be an anomaly of a
free people should entrust thwr rights and
their liberties to agents whom they would
suffer to deprive tnem of those rights and
those liberties !
But we find ourselves in a peculiar situ
ation. A portion of the people, yv ii > once
helped to form the Union, have seceded
irum the Union. They are now , however
much their tirst fatal step might have been
unwarranted by the exigencies ofthe times,
fighting for their rights. Another portion
of the Union, at firstassuming to enter into
a war for the preservation of the Union and
the Constitution, have so far failed to ac
complish the avowed object of that war that
the Union is destroyed and the Constitution
become less than a mere nudum pactum.
The deviations of the Administration, in
tho Union dt jure, have alienated a large
portion of tho people from the support of
chat war because chey see in its present
prosecution a determination on the part of
the Administration to prostitute the war to
unholy and unconstitutional purpjses.
Thus a preservation of the Union is ut
terly hopeless. We may only hope to re
store it by timely action and a change of
policy. We must fcirst restoie the Consti
tution to its pristine power. Thatofwhich
it has beeu shorn by usurpation must be
restored. It must be endowed with its
original potency and justice- It must be so
far restored as to receive its former adora
tion both by the people, and those who aot
as their agents. When the people of the
North so far effect a restoration of that
spirit of th? Union, which characterized the
framers of the Constitution, as to convince
the people of the South tint they will im
plicitly obey its requiitmants, tnon there
may be some hope that a happy reconcil
iation can b? effected between the 3?orth
and the South. But. so long as the blun
dering, not to say disloyal. Administration
continues to disregard the Constitution,
aud eviuces a spirit of subjugation and ex
termination, just so long wiU tuis unhappy
and unnatural war contiaue, and just so(
long will there be a division in aentiment
on this subject in the North.
Hence, to open up any vista oi hope tor
the restoration of tue Union, the people
must rally to the ballot box, if this precious
boon be still allowed them, and by their
voice hurl from the high places of power
those who so impotently and so despotical
ly fill them. Tyrants are cowards. When
those who wi ild make ft ' necessity' of this
unholv \va x u? iurther their damnable fanat
acism, see that the people are determined
to check this devastating and withering curie
and bring about a peace ? A restoratio n of
the Union a* it was ? a return to the letter
and spirit of the Constitution, then tbey
will pause sufficiently long to behold tfae
dizzy eminence on which tbev stand* and
that there is but one way left to beoom e the
awful abyss vrhich awaits them belo pr ? a
speedy return to the Constitution. ^Theo
Iwill the morning star of bope rise in beauti
ful effulgence to gladden the weary pilgrims
of constitutional liberty.
Then will the hearts of weeping patriots
leap for joy, for they will remember the
promise that the sword shall be returned to
its scabbard and there shall be no more
war. .
We verily believe that were the Admin
istration to declare an anmesty of ninety
days, and that all of our erriug brethren
who would return to their allegiance to
the Union and the Cocstitution, saouid be
pardoned and restored to all of their right*
enjoyed by them anteiior to the breaking
oat of this ten ible rebellion, that such a
throwing down of arms and hastening to the
Union would be the result as to cause the
nations of the earth to rejoice.
As the Abolitionists and runegado Demo
crats are in the habit of misrepresenting the
words and sentiments of the lamented
Douglas to support their inferned schemes
of findish ferocity. I beg leave to ask the
publication of the following short extract
from his last great speech in the Semite. ?
The great statesman spake as follows:
"When the Barons demanded M^na
Charta from King John, at Runnymede; he
exclaimed "Have we a Government?' and
called for nis army to put down the dis
contented Barons. When Charles the First
attempted to collect the mouey in
violation of the Constitution of England,
and in disregard of the rights of people, and
was resisted; _ he exclaimed: -'Have we a
Government?" We cannot treat with reb
els, bnt put down the traitors; wo muat
show "we have a Government." When
James the First was driven from the Throne
of England for trampling on the liberties of
the people, he called his army, and ex
claimed: "Let us show that we nave a
Government!" When George III called
on his army to put down rebellion in Ameri
ca, Lord North cried lustily: "No compro
mise with traitors; let us demonstrate that
we have a Government." When, in 1848,
the people rose up against their tyrants all
over Europe, and demanded guarantees for
their rights, every crowned head exclaim
ed; ;<Have we a Government?" and appeal
ed to the army to rindicate their authori
ty and emforce the law.
Sir the history of the world, does not fail
to condemn the folly , weakness and wicked
ntss of the Government which drew its sword
upon its own people , when they demanded
guarantees for their rights. This cry that
we must have a Government is merely fol
lowing the example of the besotted Hour*
bons who ntYdr learned any thing by mis
fortune, never forgave an injury, never for
got an aftront. Must wo demonstrate that
we have a Government and forco obedience
without reference to the justice or injus
tice of the complaint? Sir, when ten mil
lions of people proolaim to you, with one
unanimous voioe, that they HpprphentJt-thpir
firesideB And family auJtars are in danger,
it becomes a wise Government to listen to
their appeal, and remove the apprehension.
History does not record an oxaDJple where
any human government has been strong
enough to crush ten millions of peopJe into
subjugation when they believed their fights
and liberties were imperiled, without Jirst
converting tho government itself iuto a des
potism and destroying the last vestige of
freedom.
Let us take warning from the examples
of the past. Whenever a Government has
refused to listen to tbo complaints of her
people, and attempted to put down their
muimurs by the bayonet, they have paid
the penalty. Of all those who listened to
the people in 1848, and granted the char
ters of liberty, and took an oath to support
them, only one has been faithful, and he his
been rewarded for hia fidelity. The King
of Sardinia granted a Constitution, and
took an oath to* support it; and to-day ho is
King of Italy. If George III had listened
to the murmura of our fathers, and granted
their just demands, tbe war of the revolu
tion would have been averted, and the
blood that waa spilled would have been
saved.
If we consider the question calmly, and
make such amendments as will convince*
the people of the Southern States that tbey
are secure in their persons, in their proper
ty, aud their family relations, within the
Union, we can restore and presesve it. If
we can uot. satisfy the people of the border
States that they may remaiu in the Union
with safety ? dissolution is inevitable.
Then the simple question comes back ?
what sball be tUe policy of the Union meu
in this country? What man in all America,
with a heart in his bosom, who knows the
(acta connected with Fort Sumter, can hesi
tate in saying, that duty, houor, patriot
ism, humanity, requires that Anderson and
his gallant band should be instantly with
drawn? Sir, I am not a afraid to say so.
I would scorn to take party advantage for
manufacturing partisan capital out of an
act of patriotism.
Peace is the only policy that can save
the country. Let peace ba proclaimed as
the policy, and you will find that a thrill of
joy will animate the heart of every patriot
la the land; confidence will be restored;
business be revtved; ioy will gladden every
heart; bonfires will blaxe on every hilltop, '
and iu the valleys; and thechurch bells will
proclaim the glad tidings in every city, town
ana village in America, and the applause ot
a greatfui people will greet you everywhere.
Proclaim the policy of war, and there wul !
be gloom and madness and despair pictured
upon the face of every patriot in the land. ,
A war of kindred, family and friends, of!
father against son, mother against daughter, |
brother against brother, to subjugate one
half of this country to obedience to the ,
other. If you do mean peace, let this be
adopted, and give the the President an op
portunity, through the Secretary of War,
to speak the word peace, and thirty millions
of people will bless him with their prayers,
and honor him with their shouts of joy.
That Doagl&o was a patriot do one will
deny. That he wm a statesman all will ad
mit. That he was a Union man the Aboli
tionists will concede. Has Yallandigbam
said more in favor of peace ? If peace was
advocated as a preventive of war, is it not
as powerful in stopping the shedding of
? blood? Will any one condemn peace it by
such a course the Union could be restored.':
i Is it Dot time for all thinking men to pause
? I aud gee whether some other policy other
i than the subjugating, exterminating policy
of the radicals is not better for the great
object desired by every lover of American
liberty? UNION.
Mr. Crittenden on an Amnesty.
His Iiasi Words and Wishes.
[From the New York Expre-s ]
The Editor of the Louisville Journal,
long the warm personal and confiduntal
friend of Mr. Crittenden, formerly U. S
Senator from the State of Kentucky, ana
ro l^cg in public life as the Governor o?
Kentucky, C\ S. attorney General, member
of the lower house of Congress, &c. &c., |
sends to one of the Editors of tbe Express, ,
iu reply to a letter, the following interest j
ing statement of the last wishes of the true ;
patriot!; and statesman :
Mr.Oittenden spent in this city (Louis
ville) 'the greater part of the fortnight pre
ceding his death, and every friend who visi
ted hitu during his stay here, and conversed
with h:m at all on public affairs, can bear
witnes:; to his exceeding anxiety that the
President should at once aaoor-d ?' 1 recent
victories of our armies by a proclamation
of amnesty or by some set of like cft'eit;
but it is. not so generally known that, prorop
ted by liia absorbing solicitude on the sub
ject, he had resolved to address a private
letter to the President, urging hiin without
delay, to take tbi? i p. Yet such is the
fact, as it is we!' ! uown to a number of
friends of Mr. Lrutendwn, including the
writer of tb;. article. In response to a
very kind message from Mr. Crittenden we
called u pon him the evening belore he left
for his home at Frankfort, when he intro
duced the subject of his resolution private
ly to address the President concerning s
proclamation of amnesty, spoke of the deep
interest he felt in the adoption of such a
measure in this hour of our military tri
uinpb, declared bis firm conviction that
more than all other agencies beside it
would serve to bring the war to a speedy
close, and at the samo time pave the way to
an early and permanent re establishment of
the government in the hearts of the people,
avowed Lis gratification at the reported dis
cussion of a proclamatiou of amnesty in the
cabinet, and dwelt with a mournful empha
sis on the physical prostration which pie
vented him from immediately addressing tht
President; concerning the subject. He ad
ded, howeyer, that he was on the eve of re
turning to his home, with the resolution to
perform this task as soon as he should g? t a
little strength, Such were the leading
ideas expressed by the illustrious patriot
during tha interview. On the following
morning Le returned to his home, where a
few days qfterwards, in the complete poses
sion of hid' faculties, and with nothing wan
ting to h'R pure and beautiful fame, he sank
full-orbed into the grave.
The views we have cited above constitute
the dying counsel ?f toe illustrious and la
mentcd patriot to the Chief Magistrate of
his country in this crisis of her existence.
We, in all respectfulness, and in al solem
nity, commend the counsel to that high offi
cer. Death, in arresting its utterance, has
bat consecrated and enuobled it.
The conservative way is frankly to offer
peace on tho basis of the Constitution, and
to fight simply uutil the Constitution is ac
capted. This is t lie way which the conser j
vativeaof the country are uow vigorously!
urging Mr. Lincoln to adopt by a proclama
tion of amnesty or by pome equivalent arf>
or at any rate by some act that iuvolvts
the assurance of exemption from the extra
ordinary penalties of confiscation and
emancipation on the condition of a rot urn
to allegiance.
The conservatives of t tie country appeal
to the President to throw open the doors ol
the Constitution to the people in rebellion
so that they may see that the path of their
return is clear and free. The conservatives
invoke the President by a high act of jus
tice and of humanity to support our tri
Qmphant army by stimulating the people in
rebellion to revolt against their wicked lea
ders aud come back to the old allegiance
In short, the conservatives urge tho Presi
dent to add conciliation to coercion without
subtracting fram cjercion. Such is the
conservative way of attaining peace.
i Confederate Colonel's
"Terms of Peace."
A. feratcment was published in a New
York paper some days since, representing a
Colonel Hill as telling General Custer, un
der a flag of truce at Fredericksburg, that
"thera would soon be peace, " adding cer
tain reasous ;a support of this prophecy. ?
Ttie statement, it now appears, was incor
! rect. The Richmond Stntinel of the 16 1 b
instant publishes a card from Col. R;b ti
C. Hill, of the Forty-eight North Cirolioa
Regiment, in which he says that tie had an
interview with General Caster, as stated on
the 18th of August, but that it bad refer
ence to picket firing opposite Fredericks
burg, and nothing at all was said as to
peace. Col. Hill adds:
'?I am opp^ed to paaco on auy term
short of a submission of the Federals tc
such term* as we may dictate; wbich, io
my opinion, should be Mason an ! Dixon's
line as bouadar}', the exclusive t avigation
of the Mississippi below Cairo, lull indem
nification far ail the nergoes *to!?r. and
property destroyed, tlio of For
tress Monroe, Jsfferion, Key We-t, *ud all
other strongholds which may hsve
into their possession during the war. If
they are unwilling to acceda to these terms,
I propose an indefinite continuance of the
war until the now existing fragment# of tbe
old Union break to pieces from uj-.*re rottm
ness and want of cohesionjjwhet. we will
step in as tbe only first-class power on toe
western hemisphere, and take possession of
tbe pieces as subjugated and conquered
prorvinces."

Ex-President Fillmore.
Many of ovr readers will be glad to see
again the following parage in a speech de
livered at Albany, in the year 1856, by Ei
President Fillmoie, showing the effect of
the success of a sectional party, then just
formed, and every consequence of which,
as predicted by him, has ensued. As a
Xew York contemporary remarks: "Eve-i
; ry reader will deeply feel now, if never be- j
( fore, the truthfulness of the language:"
"We see a political party presenting
i candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency selected for the first time from
- the free States, alone, with the avowed
purpose of electing these candidates by the
suffrages of one part of the Union only, to
rule over the wuole United States Can it
be possible that those wise are engaged in
such a measure can have seriously rejected
upon the consequences which must inevita
bly follow in ca*e of success? [Cheers.] ?
Can thev have the midness or folly to be
lieve tbat our Southern brethren would
submit to be governed hv such a Chict
Magistrate? [Cbtera.j
* * ''Suppose that the South, bar
i ing u. majority of the electoral vote, should
declare tuat they would only have slave
holders for President a?.d Vice President,
and should elect such by their exclusive
suffrages to rule over u>? at the North. Do
yon thiuk we would submit to it? Not for
a moment. ^Applause.] And do you be
lieve that your Southern orethren are less
sensitive on this subject than you are, or
less jealous of tbeir rights? [Tremendous
cheers.] If you do, let me tell you that
you arc mistaken. And therefore, you
must see that if thi* sectional party suc
ceeds, it inevitably leads to the destruction
of this beautiful fabric reared by our foie
lutners, cemented by their blood and be
queathed to ui as a priceless inheritance.
I te!l you, my friends, that I feel deeply,
and therefore 1 speak earnestly upon this
subject; (cries of you'ro right,) for I feel
that you are in danger. I am determined
to make a clean breast of it. I will wasb
my hands of tue consequences, whatever
tJ ey may be, and tell you that we are
treadiug upon the brink of a volcano, that is
liable at any moment to burst forth and
overwhelm the nation. I might by soft
words in?pirj delusive hopes, and thereby
win votes. But J can never consent to be
one thing at tbe North and another at the
South. 1 should despise myself, if I should
be guilty of such duplicity For my con
science would exclaim with the dramatic

Mr, Corwin'a PtedkUon.
The course of events in Mexico baa viu
dicated in a remarkable w my the eagacity ot
Mr. Corwin. as U, S. Minister to that gov
eminent. He was seut there almost tame
diately after tbe present Administration
came into power, and in July, 18G1, wrote
to Mr. Seward as follows :
' Europe is quite willing to see us bum
bled, and will not fail to take advantage ot
our embarrassment* to execute purposes
which she would not bavo dreamed of bad
we remained at pesce.
' I re pest these suggestions, as my reason*
for desiring instructions relating to aid to
Mexico in some form suitable to her preseui
exigencies She is impoverished to tbe last
degree, by forty years of civil war. I can
not find in this republic any man or any par
ty better qualified, in my judgment, tor the
issk, than those in power. If they do not
save her, then I sm quite sure aba if to be
the prey of some foreign powerj and tbej, T
fear, cannot without our sid. I say oar aid,
for slo will look in vain for help ebewbete :
The InTalid Corps.
Tho Invalid Corps is rapidly filling up its
ranks. Discharged invalid soldiers, tlrsd
of inactivity and dependence upon the
liberality of friends, are enlisting in aacb
numbers as to make it oertaia that able
bodied soldiers now doing guard ami gar
rison duty throughout tbe country, will ail
soon be sent to the field and their plages
supplied by invalids, who being experienc
ed soldiers and appreciating tbe interest
manifested in them bv the Government, io
providing for tbeiu honorable independence,
will prove themselves valuable. Thus tbu
Invalid Corps, properly called tho Corps of
Honor," will bo a permanent and notable
feature of tho humanity and wisdom of tbu
Administration's conduct of the war. T<?
Col. Hush, tbo eflicient hoad of the bureau
much credit is justly due
