Uaheede4 What hi Friend Think of his Conduct. From the National Intelligencer, July In his first message to Congress, call eq to meet in extrsorainary session on the 4th of July, 1861, President - Lincoln held the following language : l' v"" "Lest there-be some uneasiness in the minds of candid men, as to what is to be the course, of the goverhmeht toward the Southern States after he rebellion shall have been suppressed, the executive deems it proper to say it will be his purpose then, as ever to be guided byjthe Constitution and the laws ; and that he probably -will have no differ ent understanding of the powers and auues 01 tne leaerai government relatively to the rights, of the states and the people, . under the Contitution, than tfuit expressed in the inaugural address. ' He desires to: preset ve the gov ernment, . that it may be administered for all, as it was admininistered by the men who made it. Loyal citiiens?every- where have the right to claim this of the government, and the government has no right to withhold or neglect it. Is it not perceived that, in giving it, there is any coercion, any conquest or any tubjugation, in any just sense of those terms."- On the 23d of August, 1862, in his well-known letter to Mr. Greelev. as originally published in our columns, the - - . x ay President wrote as follows: " My paramount object is to save the Union, and not either save ov destroy slavery. If I could save tho Union without freeing any slave, I woi ild do it ; if I could save it by freeingVall the slaves, I would do it ; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do it because I believe it helps tosavc the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause; and I shall do more whenever I believe doing more will help the cause.". - In the opening words of the preliminary "Proclamation of Freedom," issued on the 22d of September, 1862, the President; as if anxious to preclude the inference that he meant thereby to change the object of the war, was careful to declare " that hereafter as heretofore the war will be . prosecuted for the object of practically restoring the constitutional relations between the United States and each of the states and the people thereof in which states that relation is er may be suspended or disturbed." This is " the object" of the war as the President understands it to restore the constitutional relation between the United States and each of the states in which the relation is now suspended or disturbed. In reply to a communication from the Hon. Fernando Wood; of New-York, who, in December, 1862, had imparted to the President some information to the effect " that the Southern States would send representatives to the next Congress, provided that a full and general amnesty should permit them to do so," Mr. Lincoln, under date of December 12 of that year, held the following explicit language: "I strongly suspect your information will prove to be groundless ; nevertheless, I thank you for. communicating it to me. Understanding the phrase in the paragraph above quoted " the Southern States would send representatives to the next Congress" to be substantially the same as that the ' people of the Southern States, would cease resistance, and would reioaugurate, sub- mit to, ana maintain tne . national au thority within the limits ef such states, under the Constitution of the United States, ! say that, in such Tease,' the war should cease on the part of 'the Uni ted btates, and that if, within reasonable time, a full and .general amnesty' were necessary" to such end, it would not be withheld. ; ; . ., . Early in the autumn of 1863y .in (kia celebrated letter addressed to the Sprine- field Eepublican Convention, thePresi- dent wrote as follows, as f to exchtde the cavil pr objection on the part bfjito-litiual' -opponents : that he had any de-' Bigiiq: continue the war fori ,the .pur pose of emancipation after the deelareii objectof theWaV8houldhavebeenrfch-( w iu icvkuiauuu, m: , tiniQO, Xo this effeet the" rPresident said ? - !. - 'Xouiaeo iqt jfighC jtoT IrcV negroes, botne of them eeia -willing VSPIWTO. rjm no inatter; figlit you- then excluseavely' ;to save the Un-lon. - X issued thm TmiJmVn 'JL 4-A - - J ' - . . m. vr - - v i?vuraTiii7xJiA 1 ininn . ,'... g,y wau. jit contruereir a resistance la the-UiuonL if T aKitir, mnktiiae then, for.you tQ j:declire,7W will not.fight to free ixegroeei'V-rr rXb - oTthePresiifnt in the order of their thr6holofr for purposef ihcwi cUredii bis' prpoe to preserfA the got' made it. and he added " lovaT citizens everywhere! have the riffht to claim' this oi ineir gQvernmeni, ana nas no ngnt to withhold it' . ; ; - ' : ... In December, 4862, he said that if "the people of the Southern States would cease resistaheci and would ' rein-ausrurate, submft to, -and', maintain, "the natipnal authority' within the limits of said states, under the Constitution of the United States, in such case the war would cease on the part 'of. the United States . . ; ; ' (' ' ' In'SeDtembef. 1863.' directinff his re- mark's 0 supposed dissentients vfrom his negro policy, he said: "I"ight jou then exclusively for the Union. When ever you shall have conquered all resis tance to the U nion, if I shall urge you to continue, fighting, it will be n apt time for you to declare you will not fight for the negro." It is in the light . of these presidential declarations that the reader is pre pared properly to'appreciate the latest terms on which the war, will cease, as far as the President is concerned, and without which he purposes to contin ue fighting." We allude, of course, to the stipulations announced by him a few days ago as the necessary conditions preliminary to negotiations wilh the Confederate authorities as follows: Executive Mawsiow,! . WAsnrsoTOH. Julv 18. 1M To whom it may concern : . Any proposition which embraces the restoration of peace, the integrity of the whole Union, and tht mbaHiionmunt of tUxvera, and which comes br and with an authority that can eontrol the armies now at war against the United "States, will be received and considered by the Executive Government of the United States will be met by liberal terms on other substantial and collatteral; points,' and the bearer or bearers thereof shall have safe conduct both ways. A. LINCOLN. This declaration is important in ma ny aspects. It shows, in the first place, that, according to the principles pro pounded by the .President in the year 1861, the time has passed when he pro poses " to preserve the government that it may be administered as it was administered by the men who made it;' for nobody pretends that the " men who made the government" supposed that the President had . any power to dictate emancipation as the condition of maintaining or restoring peaceful relations between, the states and the gov ernment. - - . ... ' - As compared with the terms of peace propounded to Mr. Wood in the rear 1862, it shows that the time has passed when " the war will cease on the part of the United States if the people of the Southern States would cease resistance, and would reinaugurate Bubmit to, and maintain the national authority ; " for the President now in effect announces that 'no proposition " will be received and considered by the executive government of the United States" which does not embrace, in addition to " the restoration of peace and the integrity of the whole Union," the "abandonment of slavery." As compared with the declaration of 1863, it shows that the time has now come when according to the President's own admission and consent, such of his r countrymen as are " fighting exclusive ly for the Union, . and who conscientiously detiy the right of the government to fight for any thing else, may aptly say that the new terms on which the ' President insists are such that if the negotiations were broken down by his persist ance on this point, they might fairly claim, according to his own theory of their duty, an exempting from " fighting to free negroes." ' It will thus be seen that, by applying to the late declaration of the President, the principles 'announced by him in the three years 1861 1862, and 1863, we are able to measure the effect and purport" of that declaration by his own standards. And ' 'when the President thus becomes Bis own critic and confutes it would be idle in us to add any words on the subject. uut tnis latest aeciaration is impor tant in 1 other - aspects. It serves to show that the President has overcome any "scruples he may ' have previously : had on the subject -of recognising the confederate . military authorities. -; He now makes it: a- condition ; of 'receiving 'and consfderirig any proposition- that -it shall comer-ana with an authority that can, control ' the ;armie 'noir at war affaiast ther United: 'StatesiVy v,rtn ithia point he paid little heed to 'the resolu-i uwz Ki wo iwuuroio vuaveniionj wnefn. in1 renominating mm. nueciareaf . a i: "EeSb!i4dtht weappytthe e-termination bf the 'vernmeDt r of ' the I nited States not to Vonrpromise rith rebels'W to "offef ' any terms f -of 4pe4cef teicept such-as "may be-oss upon; an rmcondltional 8Tirrender)ftheix- hostil- irr,-hd' return lo ' their 'first5 Ueii ance to the Constitution atid Uwvqf tte "unltexj States anthsiHre-call txp on tne government to maintain their pol uvn uA UipiJseeitia.rar wita M&Rtt HftB.'T ."gor, com pioo inr cpuniry ana iu iree insucn plete suppreasaon of ; the rebellionilin lutttsHanw'-Tithe? n Mj8 tftf t wiiicqept ie.terqj prescribed; tber. iriU be iinct by liberal term on other tnbstandal and ollatter- " SuCHr. i Lincoln mizi jh :obVe aware that-the President of theso-called Confederate States (who ia the " authority" that controls ?Hhe armies how at was against the Uniied States") is not empowered by any of his - prerogatives to stipulate for "ihe abandonment of slavery-,- and thcrefolNy, . in specifying this aa! one of. the tetpis of a.'" proposition to eome "by andjwitK'!- such, an, "authority," heiaskedhat.

And it he desires to know the universal impression that is likely to be produced by the attitude in which he has placed himself, he may, we think, read it is such comments as the following, from the only one of the New York journals which was originally in favor of his renomination. We allude to the Ne.w York Tine, which says : - " The President made but two con ditions) the reception and considera tion ofany proposition for the restoration of peace, which should come to him from competent authority : first, that it should embracethe integrity of the whole Union ; second that' it should embrace the abandonment of slavery. We believe he mights have gone still furtner than this ; he nfight have omitted the second of these conditions altogether, and required tEe first alone, as essential to the reception and consider ation of proposals for peace. 5 We do not mean to say that it will be event ually found possible to end the war and restore the Union without the 'aban donment of slavery ;' -fbut we . do say that this abandonment-need not be exacted by the President as a condition without which heNi) not ..receive or consider proposals for peace The people do not require him to exist upon any such condition. Neither his bath of of fice, nor constitutional duty, nor his Eerson&l or-official consistency requires im to. exist upon it. That is one of the questions to be considered, and arranged when the terms of peace come to. be discussed. It is not a subject on which terms can be imposed by the government, without consultation, without agreement, Or without equivalents. And we suppose that it was in pres-sage of the obstacles likely to be laid in the way of peace by the theoretical position which the President had assum-med on these and other subjects that the New York Tribune was induced to oppose his renomination, and in reiteration of which, even after his renomination, it held the following language : " We cannot but feel that it would have been wiser and safer to spike the most . serviceable jruns of our adversaries by nominating . another for.' .President, and T thus dispelling all motive, save that of naked aislqyalty for further , warfare upon this administration. We believe the rebellion would have lost something of its cohesion; and venom from thd hour in .which it was known that a new President would - surely be inaugurated on the fourth of March next; and that hostility in the loyal states to the national cause must have sensibly, abated or been deprived of its readiest, most dangerous weapons, from the moment that all were brought to realixe that, the President,- h&ritig ho more to expect or hope, , could hence forth be impelled by no : conceivable motive but a- desire to serve: and save hu country, and thus win for' himselfl an enviable and enduring fame",,.

' The subjointed letter,' addressed toF. W. Rehick Esq.," by brie of the prominent officers of the 166th O. N. O., an ardent supporter of Brough last fall, has been handed to us for publication: Camp Near Norfolk, Va., V July: 2d, 1864. Friends: I have anxiously waited to hear from you, or at least' receive a reply to my . letter written you from Martinsburg, but as yet have not been favored with a line, so here goes for another attempt. You will see by the heading of this that we are "away down South in Dixie." We have traveled over a great deal of territory, and up to this date have not lost a manY We have been to the front and many have witnessed the sad realities of war. and their hearts have sickened within them. The inquiry is, when will this end? The answer is difficult. Already our once happy country is rent in twain every hamlet and village is draped in the sombre hues of mourning. Limb less and disfigured men are met at every turn, and yet the Work of desolation goes on. Again 'and again the question is asked, is there no remedy? Who shall the suffering millions apply tor Have those in power the magic wand which if waved would bring peace to our unhappy .country? Where may 1 ask, is our boasted liberty? Look around you, and the vacancy of many a familiar face is the silent response. Look upon this portion of our country, and you will see liberty in the back ground, weeping over the blood stained soil on one of the noblest and best States "Virginia. The bright gleam of sunshine that but a short time ago appeared through the dark clouds of despair is fast being enveloped in the gloom of disappointed expectations. Our hundred days are. over half gone; the work we were to do is not half begun and the future looks sad and mournful.' But enough "of this. There is a remedy which can yet be handled,' it is the people. To them as a self governed nation, we must bowi; Men's eyes will be opened, they will; see what; to them was darkness, and the crafty selfish politician? will be made to feel that to his countrymen he owes his position, and to them he must bow in submission. And those who are enjoying the great advantages of fat officers and army contracts, who are for the "last man and last dollar" may quake in their boots, for the day of reckoning is close at hand. They who have always said go, and never say come, their time draws pigh, for the people will rule, while "the selhsh ambitious fanatics, will ruin. You may think I am excited, but I am not. I look at ths facts and 4 prophesy the future. . Soldier. One-, Women with. Two Husbands. A Straggle Hetweewi Pint aad Seeaad rom the Dnhnqnallerald, July 19th. A somewhat extraordinary case was brought to light in 'this city yesterday. Several years ago one Sarah J. Nutting was married to a Mr. Helms, in Bing-hamton, N. -Y. As too frequently happens for the welfare of society, the course of love did not run smoothly with the married couple, and Helms, as the story goes, about five years ago, deserted the 5 wife whom ' he had solemnly promised to love, protect and cherish. Mrs. Helms; now abandoned by her le- gaiprotecter jcam6 to, this city . where she liad some relatives v Having heard nothing of ner husband, she naturally became subject to the advances of a new lover.whom she found about three years I ago in the person bf Thomas Wilson, 1 a respectaDie . larmer resioing near . Jip-worth, .Dubuque 'county'. His advances werejeueeuraged and soon ripened into a tondness that resulted in-their mar-riaget f aXhis necbmL ' marriage becured about threeyears since; which timejMr. and 'Mrs. Wilson have lived -together nearEpworth apparently Contented and I e Several Feek ago in s advertisement appeared in. .Tit&ime, .rnakinginquH rr fot'persbtthose'maideh nsnie was Hiarsli'wOTuKl JT tcreThisrnotice coming to the knowV edge ;of Helms, the first husbahd, it -is supjifnno MtaTr iadujcehira to set oulinsearcn of hertthxtohe h fors. f tine lavished tpoii her frowns and not i.rraW: wmiii,-j'i-;TtAw i jn Ifiarnis'j thit Ixi disertcd twife.twak CherlIIt ' jrlo m t Heine, Epworth, where unheralded .and unexpected, they found Mr. andMra.Wilson After an interview which was, to say the least, rather embarrasing to Mrs. Wilson, Deputy Keine, Helmns and Mr. Wilson returned to Dubuque. Sheriff Mahony quartered them at the Key City House with... injunctions that they have different rooms and be not permit-ed an interview. geperate rooms were accordingly assigned them, but morning, we understand, found them occupying the same appartmenU; : .... , J i; .. :On .Monday Mr Wilson came to town still anxious to retain her as his wife. He met Helms and a collision with expiating blood came near being the. consequence.- Legal advice was sought and the woman for we hardly know whose wife she is nowdetermined to institute a suit for a divorce from her first husband. . But she was. granted an intervie w with each of the husbands and then she seemed in a quandary "she could be happy with either were 'tother dear charmer away." Is is said . that Helms does not really want the women but only on the prospective fortune to which she is heir, while WilsQn is under stood to be willing to take her without the money. And so the matter rested last evening. " Front the Dnbnqne Herald, Jnry 20. " Mrs. Helms, whose dil emma was giv en in yesterday's iTera W,finally concluded to forget the past and cling to her first husband, Helms. This decision caused much regret on the part of Mr. Wilson who seemed to regard heY with true devotion. We understand that he told her on parting that if she should have any trouble and come to want she would find in him a benefactor. Yesterday morning in company with Helms she left for the East. How Shall the Union be Restored t - From the Warren Constitntioni. J 4 Last week we published a letter from Gen Obokgk W. MoaoAJC, of Mount Vernon in this StAte to which we should have directed the attention or oar readers, as-ibe moet pract - cable way of solving the great problem of restoring peace and anion to oar distracted country. As matters now stand, all candid men concede that the Union eannot be restored by fighting, and that some other honorable and practicable mode most be resorted toand without delay to accomplish that object. The initiatory step mast be taken. We publish this week, air address issued by the rebel Congress, from which it appears that Compromise and Negotiation would not be fruitless; bdl if enter ed upon in the proper spirit would be likely to result in harmonizing the sections, and laying the foundation lor a restoration of the rebel- lioos States to their allegiance. All good men should at once abandon the folly of subiusra- ting and holding by mUitary powera teritory so extensive as that embraced in the Southern fJonfederacy. If it was admitted that it could be done, it cannot be denied that it would ex haust the North of its able-bodied men, and prostrate our country for generations to come. Are not ths people ready for something in the war of decisive action ? No one is in fa vor of further prosecuting the war, but such as expect to aake fortunes by wringing from ths people the last dollar. Nobody wants to go to the field, and. when that is the case why fight another day when there is a better mode of settling it. No matter if the pride of Lincoln and those who (awn around him is abased matter if his favorite scheme of depopu lating the north to liberate negroes from bond age does fail, as lail it must the people are ready to do anything honorable to terminate this strife. Ths feeling which now pervades sensible men of all parties, is ripe for action and advantage should be taken of it to break down this factious spirit that possesses the administration to destroy our Ijvea and liber. ties-:--"7-- ' ." .

"He dare not arrest them, no matter what - they may say, for this would throw the responsibility of commencing . hostilities upon him;, and he has not the means to sappress them.

K A Stump Speech Over the Dead Body of ' 2IeFherson. ' We had supposed that the clerical bypocrf. tea who put on "tbe livery of heaven to serve the devil in," would be content if thev were permitted to continue the desecration of thei pulpits on the Sabbath day, by preach intr their political dogmata instead of the -Gospel. But we were mistaken. There is a lower deph still which - has just been reached by a negro maniac, named T. F. Hildkkth. who thrust himself forward to preach the funeral sermon over the dead hero, Major General McPHKaso.v, on last Friday, at the little town " of Clyde, in Northern .Ohio. Instead of appropriate utterances, such as the stricken and bereaved kindred and friends of the illustrious dead desired -to hear on that-solemn occasion, this political hyena in that sorrowing presence belched forth demmeiations against more r than one-half of 'the people of the adheriar States, atigmatixing them as "secession sympathizers,", and. charging them as being in reality the murderers' of the brave and gallant McPnasoV.' Such a creature isbeaeaih the-corrtempt of all good men. The frieeda of oar. Holy- Religion, and of the proprieties that should, characterize the solemnises ot a funeral occasion, . will ail be inspired with' a becoming degree of indignation, hen they read a report of gris clerical fiypeerite's poVti-eal harangue over the dead hero of dyde.
