Mr, John Quincy Adsms, when he was President of the United State, wrote that he bad "unequivocal evidence of the existence of ft plot in 1804 formed by New England Federalists, the parpose of which was the dissolu tion of the Union. Their object according to the evidence given by Mr. Adams, was to form two separate independent governments, the Northern 8tatea to form a more "energetic Government;" it Was considered essential tq success tnai the State Governments mast be favorable, so that thoee wfo,acted.should be supported by State laws. Mr. Jefferson, in 1820, at the lime of the Missouri anti-elavery excitement, charged cer tain of the Federal leaders with monarchism, and that this anti-slavery agitation was a mere party trick to obtaia power; he wrote, that these leaders "are taking advantage of the virtuous feelings of the people, to effect a division of the people by a geographical line." and thai "some of these lea lers if they could attain the power, their ambition would rather use it to keep the Union togethsr; bat others have ever had in view its reparation."

Henry Clay, in the Senate of the United States, regandoj tha A Wit too wte as the enemies of the Union," and in order to excite the imaginations aud stimulate the rage of the people of the free States against the peo ple tn the slave states, the slaveholder is held up and repreentsd as the mart atmcions of human beuigs. : Have not these trahors to tb ConstitHtioa and to tbe people, at last suc- escled MJrraytar one portiou against anoth er portion f tne Union T .

Ai such as only an escaped prisoner can oudergo. 1 knew bun ianormer yeara aaa hearty, robust man ; ami it Was dtfScutt to recognise him in the pale, emactatol, and wasted being that stood befbre me. fn Teply tomy expres-aions of astonishment, he said ia m hollow voice, broken by a dreadful cough, the sure indication of eettledoneumption ami speedy death.-' As I am, so are thousands of others, who, a year ago. were as strong arid heahhy as I was. - They are dying there,' like rotton sheep. But I am happier than they, for I shall die at boms." And for a moment hie eye brigh tened with some of its former fire. Poor fellow 1 "be is at home now, and be will close his eyes in comfort, and surrounded by the ones he loves. happy even" in that fate. Before he left he gave me m roll of paper, in which are recorded the tames of those irison-era at Richmond who have died there since the first of October, and whose names he could obtain. He kept the list posted by every day. and his comrades, knowing that he was doing so, brought to him tbe name and regiment of every vnan who died. : I have seat the list to New York. If it is ever published, it will be a fearful record for Abraham Lincoln, " Honest Old Abe," and Mr. Stanton to contemplate. It shows that, in the short space of three months, nine hundred and sixty-two of our soldiers have died at Richmond. ' The death of these poor man lies at the door of AI r-ham Lincoln and Mr. Stanton. Ther wwuld have been exchanged, and would have been at their homes months ago, if it had not been for the obstinacy of Lincola and Stanton on the sub ject of negro soldiers. Tbe reaaera ot tne urnes -win rememner that; whenever onr military plans have been disclosed to the rebels, tt has been done by newspapers which lay claim to be the exclusive organs of the administration. The moat unblushing instance of this kind has just occurred in the disclosure of the plans which had been agreed upon by Gear. H.-dleck, Stanton and the President for the spring campaign against Richmond, which now appears ia full in the N. Y. Times. If it had not been thua disclosed, it is probable that it would have eueceedetl. for it is preinsely the plan formed by Gen. McOlelUn for the spring campaign of lrtG2, a plan which was rendered abortive then by the . insane conduct of Lincoln and Siantonin keeping McDowell's corps at Wash iniiton. H'alleck'a present plan is to send about lOOtOOO men to operata against Rich-mn by: the line of th e J satei river, who are to le support el by a fleet of iron-clad steamers and mortar-boats ; while,' at the same time, the. Anny of the Potomac is to essay, "for the ninth time, an-overland campaign towards the rebel capital. In other words., the 100,000 men flrvt mentioned are to play the part of McClellaa'a army in the Peninsular campaign of 18o2, whib the present Army of the Potomac is to piny the role which, after the middle of May. 1862; Gen. McClellaa desirol lie. Dowelt's corps to accomplish. It only re quires a ruoov-n..' consideration to see that if this plan had not been disclosed, it bad a fair prospect ol success ; for tbe 100,000 men could have taken np the campaign exactly where McClellan left otf, aameiy : at Uarrison's Landing. " ' : Disclosed to the enemy as it has been now, h9wever, ami; at this early day, too. it r quiree no prophst to foretell that it will be frustrated. No army of ours can everniarch to Richmond overland. . 4MRJ relel troops, with the advantages they. have on that line, can keep at Imy and defeat, on the Rapidan or below it, a Union army of three times that strength. If tliia planVoV.any similar one, is persisted in, the enemy wilt concentrate his main force fa Virginia and North Carolina, which he can bring np to 90.000 men without: any trouble, or even to 125,000 men In case of ao emergency, immediately around Richmond. It is not too m itch to say that the defenere of the rebel capital are, at the present rnxxaent. far superior lo )hoe of oor own ; for the forta around Richmond are as numerous, as well armed, and aa well served as to forts aronnd Washington; and, ia addition' to this. w He Washington, can be reached by vessel. Richmontl cannot be. The ohstructiona ia the, James River, for .a distance of nine miles below the c:ty, are of such a nata re that no hostile Vessel can pnsaFort Darling. Thia w4H render all our breai-alai'mr aad- mortar-boata . etitirely uaaleaa. So that the result of tbe disclosure, of this fine plan wilt be. that it will have to be abandoned, and another one suberitutel.. .

Preea them for an an. swer and it will come in a neralive. Indeed the Tribune, more honest thaa its fellows, has made open boast tbat it was not in favor of a reconstruction of the old Union with slavery in it for the negro it would sink the Union and break up tbe Republic The leaders are not for tbe Union as our fathers framed it, but are uacouditioiiar' Union men if they can have everything aa they wiah, but not otherwise. And yet these Abolition leaders, with their cant and affected love for the countrv. have dupoi many honest men Into the belief that they are sincere, when their whole political Hie is a living witness of their deep hypocrisy and want of truth. The old Union never suited them, and they never suited the old Union. It waa too hroad aad expansive for their narrow souls, and they wre too selfish aad O h ctioa al for ita expanded domain and diversifita interests. W h eh attacked by a foreign foe th fat-Abolition leaders never fought for the Union; when laws, demanded by the Constitution, were to be . passed they opposed, and when passed these same men formed unlawful combinations to resist their execution. Although tbe fathers of these men, previous to the year l08, when the slave trade wa abolished, supplied the Sooth with "huiaao chattels" from the coast of Africa, yet their sons spent much of the money thus acquired in stealing and running off oa the underground railroad thf offspring of the very slaves stolen from Africa by their fathers. How can men who act thas be Union men? Tbe thing is impossible. They prate of their Unionism, it is true, and the arch fiend, it is said can quote Scripture when it suits his purpose.! H ainctre. they would seek to right the wrongs they bays inflicted on the country would repeal all their unconstitutional lawa. rescind all their military orders that conflict witb the Conatttntiofl. and annul aH the aiUv and mischievous proclamations which ; Presr dent Lieoolo. by the advice and consent of his Abolition advisers, baa. issued, and which; acting as firebrantls.' have the teadencv to further excite the people and prolong the war. - A Htw Thla? fit Hittory A SUto Cou-ititntioa Abrogated by a fitrogo of -.the Pen.
