themselves, in the execution of their
more comprehensive and delicate mis
sion. In anticipation of the arrival of
these gentlemen at JNiagara, out, asl
believe, without their previous knowl
edge or sanction,, Mr. George N. San

great question of peace with the prom
inent Confederate gentlemen who were
expected to spend a portion of the. sum
mer at that place. Such conferences
being entirely legitimate under the
construction which Messrs. Clay and
Thompson (no. doubt very properly)
placed upon their powers and duties, I
md no hesitation in meeting the pub
ic men who came to the falls ana ex
pressed a desire for my society. That
point being the most convenient and
eligible for the transaction of my own
business, I remained there during the
whole period of my stay in Canada,
and thus had opportunities of more
frequent and extensive intercourse with
these gentlemen than either of my
friends, one of whom (Mr. Clay) made
his headquarters at St. Catherine's, the
other (Mr. Thompson) at Toronto. Be
sides a crowd of less distinguished per
sons, I saw) during the course of the
summer (in some instances repeatedly)
Governor Hunt, of New York; Messrs..
Leigh Richmond and Benjamin Wood,
of the same State; Mr. Buckalew,
Judge Black, and Mr. Van Dyke, of
Pennsylvania; McLean, of Hie Cincin
nati Enquirer; .Weller, of California ; j
Judfre Bullitt, of Kentucky, and Col
one! Walker, of Indiana. We received
messages from other gentlemen, such
as Voorhees, of Indiana, and Pendle
ton, of Ohio.. JBefore Mr. Clay and
myself hkd t - readied Niagara, Mr.
Thompson had seen Mr. Vallanding-
nam. The impressions which had been
made upon my mind by what I learned
ceed to Washington upon the tender of
an absolute and unconditional safe con
duct from the President of the United
States. When Mr. Sanders submitted
the note to us, which appears first in
the printed correspondence, we found
that he had, most unexpectedly, asso
ciated his name with our own in the
proposed visit. There were serious ob
jections to this association, but believ
ing Mr. Saunders to be a sincere and
zealous friend of the Confederacy,
thinking? that on this occasion his pe
culiar talents' might render him useful
in acquiring the information we desir
ed, and feeling that if the safe conduct
was tendered, his wishes on this sub
ject would be entitled to some consid
eration, we permitted the note to be
sent without correction. It is, howev
er, incumbent upon me to add that,
with all proper respect for 3Ir San
ders, he was at no time taken into my
confidence, nor I believe into that of
Mr. Clay. In a few days we received
a letter from Mr. Greeley advising us
of his arrival at the International Ho
tel, on the American side of the falls',
and tendering us a safe conduct to
Washington, and his own escort, upon
the hypothesis that we were duly ac
credited from Richmond as the bearer
of propositions looking to tho establish
ment of peace, and desired to visit
Washington in the fulfillment of our
mission.. ;
Mr. Clay and myself were so deeply
impressed with the grave responsibili
ty which would attach to any action
we might take on this communication,
that we telegraphed to ColonelThomp-
es no evidence to the contrary, for, with
a large body of the; peace : party, Mc
Clellan was held in as much odium as
Lincoln himself. The bitterness be
tween these hostile factions is intense.
The one has I received from the other
every outrage which the strong can
perpetrate on the weak. It would be
a fatal mistake, in my opinion, to aban
don all effort to ; separate this section
from the United States, because no re
sults have as yet been achieved com
mensurate with our expectations. The
hope of closing the war by negotiation
has been extinguished. Our resources
are diminishing more rapidly, for ob
vious reasons, than those of our enemy.
To keep alive such a degree of appre
hension as will , lead to the concentra
tion of large bodies of troops to repress
insurrection witmy their own limits,
will, of itself, be an important diver
sion in our favor. We should em

own mind to its conclusions, yet I may
add that the response which was made
to Greeley received the approbation, of
Mr. Thompson, as well as or Mr. day
and myself. Our most obvious course
was to have informed Mr. Greeley that
he labored under a strange delusion,
both as to our character and our wish
es, and that we could only meet him
as private citizens, and for an informal
interchange of opinion. This course,
however. . as I thought, would have
given to the party now in power in the
United States the means of defending
itself against the charge which was
used with most . effect by its political
adversaries. Neither the present nor
anv other lievuocican administration
can secure the same degree of public
support in the prosecution of the war
on a policy of connscation and emanci
pation, as on a policy which looks sim-
ly to the restoration or the union.
Ir. Lincoln was reproached with an
unwillingness to make peace on any
terms short of the subjugation of the
States of this Confederacy, and the ut
ter overthrow of their peculiar social
system, and a consequent indisposition
to ascertain the sentiments of the South
ern people, for fear they might profess
a readiness to submit to the authority
of the United States on more reasonable
conditions. Although no proposition
for peace which did not concede our
absolute independence would have
been entertained by us for a moment,
it did not seem to me wise to give our
enemies the moral and material benefit
to be derived from a position they were
not honestly entitled to occupy.
iad we returned the answer which
has been suggested, the friends of
President Lincoln could have appealed
to the letter of Mr. Greeley 'as a proof
of his willingness to open negotiations
on the most liberal basis. That letter
wholly abandoned' the attitude which
the Government of the United States
had maintained since the secession of
South Carolina, and to which, accord
ing to-the declaration of Mr. Seward in
his recent speech at Auburn, it has re
turned of "no negotiations with rebels

may assert that Mr. Greeley is a great
and honest man. They may believe
he has done a benificent work. But
they cannot dispute that he has aban
doned his party, joined those whom he
has always fought, aud represents now
a different element and different pur
poses from those to which he has given
all his previous life. His efforts for
thirty years point in one direction; his
present course points in anotr er ; and
the questioii for honest friends of Mr.
Greeley is whether they will share his
desertion in conterripipf his teachings.
The Republican party is now what it
was when Mr. Greeley enforced the
patriotic duty of supporting if. It is
made up of the same elements of the
people. It has the same high moral
purposes. It has the same strong pro
gressive character. It is devoted to the
complete fulfillment of the same great
objects of national honor, equal rights
and protection to all classes. It is
equally flexible to every fresh emer
gency, and equally susceptible to every
new and righteous demand of the peo
plel It thus embraces the highest se
curity for the achievements of the past,
and the surest guarantee for the wants
of the present and the future. Mr.

to usurping autocrats, like Tweed: and

party which was an assurance beyond
all professions, lay the best hopes of the
country. And the lesson stands, though
the teacher is iaithless.
The Democratic party, too, is essen
tially, unchanged. It remains what it
was when "Mr. Greeley described it as
the embodiment of everything'that was
vicious and 'depraved in the-country.
That was a description of character and
composition not of platform and prin
ciples. The organization may change
its professions, but its elements remain,
and they are decisive of the tendencies
or the ''party' it is composed ot tho
same forces as when only a year ago
