A. LINCOLN. FR O.V. JIEXR T WARD BEECHER i It will be our noble prerogative to set the example of this rich blending of blood. It is idle to maintain that this present war is not a. war for the negro. It Is a war for the negro. Not simply for his personal rights or his physical freedom ; it is a war, if yeu please, of amalgamation, so called a war looking. as its final fruit, to the blending of the white and black. All attempts to end it without a recognition of the political, civil and social rights of the negro. will only lead to still bloodier battles in the future.- Let us be wise and look to the end. Let the war go on until the pride of-caste is done away. Iet it go on until church, ' and state,, and society reoognise 'not only the propriety but the necessity of the fusion of the white and black; in short, unCil the great truth shall be declared in our public documents and announcod in the messages of our Presidents, that it is desirable the white man sbonld marry the black woman and the white woman the Mack man- that the race should become melaleuketic before it be comes miscegenetic.

Y. ; : A GLORIOUS SPEECH BY Hon. C. L. VaUandighami Syracuse, Aug, 18. The Peace Convention meets here to-day, andprom- ises to be largely attended. Vallandig-. ham, ex-Governor Weller, of Cal., Fernando Wood and Judge Onderdonk, are present and intend to 6peak this after noon. ' " Several western politicians are here. At a meeting held last evening, a ae- - A m . 1 - nes ot resolutions was agreea upon, more moderate than suited the views of some, and it was determined to appoint a full delegation to Chicago, advisory in its character, and not to - seek , seats in the Convention, but this morning the question is in some doubt, and considerable opposition is being manifested. .there were two mass meetings to-jday, one on Franklin Street and the other near the Syracuse House. The largest was in Franklin Square, Vallatfdigham and Fernando Wood being announced to speak there In response to loud and enthusiastic calls Vallandigham stepped forward and addressed the mul titude for an hour or more, holding their closest attention, except when interrupted by applause. He said he was not here to parade his private griefs, not to speak of what he had done or suffered in the cause.- All such things were indeed insignifi cant in comparison to the eteat nation al interests that are at stake. Hewould only say that time has already vindtcar ted almost to the utmost extent his news in regard to national affairs. They are no longer peculiar. They are becoming most general. It was not the pur pose of this Convention to sow seeds of discord m the Democratic ranks. Such was no part of his mission. A delegate chosen unanimously to represent his constituents at Chicago, he would be false to them and to the interests of his party and country were he to lend himself to such an object. He would go there with the single purpose of aiding in bringing about the nomination of a sound candidate, on a sound and patriotic platform, and to promote harmony among the Democrats and conservatives of the country. lhere is now but one question before the country- War or peace. Ho assu med that it is the desire of all who love their country that, first her liberties shall be made secure arid then her material prosperity restored. There were some who believed that these objects could be best secured by war, while a great mass of the Democracy held that they could be obtained only through peace. A majority determined to try war. We were obliged to submit. Had he possessed the power, not one drop of blood would have been shed. There would have been no marshalling of hosts, no hostile cannon, no mighty debt. The President Has had all the men and all the money he demanded. Never was there such an example of submission by a people. Nothing has been wanting that constitutional power con ceded or that audacious usurpation could take from the people, and what. is the result, with more battles fought than were fought by the three greatest conquerors of the world in any five years of their power? Is the Union restored? Nou A single State brought back ? r No. Is the Constitution maintained or observed ? No. Are our liberties respected ? No. Have we had. & free, press, free assemblages, the fight of the habeas corpus, or arrests by due progress of law ? No! No! " How is it in a material point of view ? A debt, of nearly four thousand millions, a daily expediture of nearly fi re millions; and a currency worth about .38 cents on the dollar, which two months ago was worth .one hundred per cent. ., more than it is now, and which twd months hence will be worth 100 ner cent, less.' Ruin is impending, and nOw in the fourth year of the war what better is the prospect, of success of war than in 1861 and 1862 ? Not for want of coiirare. for no braver men ever went to battled 1 he campaign of 1863 op ened , . under more auspioiona circumstances, and wo were told that the rebellion would ' be speedily crushed out by force of arm Dut tne ena oi tnatjrear lound us but lit- tle advanced. r 3.he campaign of . 1864 Opened withrthe-rargest armies the "worW naa ye5.,seen. , ( JLnose armies composed, larjrely.pf thre yea veterans, and con eentrated for attack on two or three -vi tal points; and with what result ? 3 It the record carnage and blood ifcsr. .Having' jt'ried war bo long, ahaU; w.e now xtj vionie . osner meana r ...

Sumner, Chase and Hale, the leaders of the party now in power, and which has brought the country so near to irretrievable ruin, were there too, and then aa now they were against compromise. - With a republican form of government it is impossible to keep States tor gether by force of arms. It is contra ry to the spirit of free institutions, But if it were otherwise, the war has been utterly pervertecl by the Administration. To-day it is not a war for the Union .or under the -Constitution, and the eyes of the people are being opened to this fact. Hence it is that through all the States the cry for a cessation of hostilities is being loudly uttered. He regarded the call for 500,000 more men as a confession that the war is to be prolonged through 1865. If you send more men, demand that the war shall be successful and conducted to the end for which it was inaugurated. In June last, in his . Philadelphia speech, Mr. Lincoln said that , this war would continue at least three years longer. - Elect him and you are committed to that policy. There is but one way of avoiding such a calamity, and this is by a change of President through the ballot-box. At Chicago we propose to nominate a candidate who will inspire the confidence of the people, a statesman imbued with love of liberty and respect for the . Con stitution and all its guarantees and reservations. He expected that the candidate will be committed to a suspension of hostilities and a convention of the States. That is what a vast majority of the delegates from the northwest are committed to. As to men we have no special choice. . Let us be united, disregarding all personal and minor considerations, for the sake of the cause, and if successful we will have rescued the Constitution and secured to ourselves and other children civil and political liberties. Arbitrary arrests, military trials and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, as well as Of the press, will close forever in the United States. ;t lie believed a reunion 'of th"e States possible. TheSouda&ii proposed through her press and through agents to meet us and see if we can't agree, so that peace and prosperity will be once more restored to the country. They, too, are tired and weary of the war. They, too, want an armistice and "a Con vention. -;:." At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr. Van Allen read a long series of resolutions. They declare that the country has been passing through a fearful political convulsion, when violence attempts by force to undo the work of patriots and expresses .heartfelt gratitude to God at the visible subsidence of the excitement and passion which has accom panied this conclusion. . They call upon the people, irrespective of party to aid in obtaining a permanent suspension of hostilities Hand the perfection of some mode of reconciliation, which shall again unite our country on a lasting basis of peace, that it is the duty of the Chicago Con vention to give expression to this spirit of peace, and to declare as the purpose of the Democratic party to cause' this desolating war to cease by the calling of a National Convention, m which all the States shall be represented jn their soy. ereign capacity, and that to this end an armistice shall be declared. ...

EUEIX. tFrom tne Phildlpnin Ag! : - Bedford Springs, July 10, 1864. Dear Sir. The public have seen no official announcement of the fact though it is no doubt by this time very generally known -that I have resigned my position in the army.. I have several times since been assured that my personal friends, and many who without the claim of personal acquaintance have taken an interest in any official career, feel that some explanation of the circumstances and motives of my action due to them; Accepting the claim upon me, I have already answered some of my friends in substance as I do you now. . . It is perhaps unnecessary to enter into an exposition of the circumstances of my supercedure .in Tennessee in the fall of 1862, since the particulars, though not without a certain value, involve interests of my own with which it is not my wish to weary you. As far as facts are concerned it will suffice for tho presont to say, that after the adjournment, : about the 1st of May, 1863,of the "Commission" which invest tigated. my campaign, my correspon dence with the Department was confin ed to a monthly report made to the Adjutant General that I was waiting the action of tho War Department on the proceedings of that Commission; that about the first week of April last, " I was offered command under Gen. Sher man, my junior, which I " declined; that a month later I was again offered com mand under tjenerai uanoy, also my junior, which I delined; that about three weeks later I received notification that I was mustered out of my ranks as Major G eneral of Volunteers, and that on the same day I sent in my res ignatiori as Colonel in the Adjutant Generals Department of the Regular ar my. ' "'y The impulses of most men would ap prove my course in this mattcr,-if it even rested on no other ground than a determination not to acquiesce in any measure that would degrade me; but I had a higher motive, than that. I believed that the policy and mcan3 with which the war Was being prosecuted, were discreditable to the nation, and a stain upon civilization; and that they would only fail to restore the Union, if indeed, they had no t Already . r cudcrtxl i ts restoration impossible, but that their tendency was to subvert the institutions under which the country had realized unexampled prosperity and happiness; and to such a work I could not lend my hand : . While there may have been more or less of personal ambition mixed up in the movement of Secession, as there must generally be : in the management of political affairs, Yet I do not doubt that it was mainly determined, by the honest conviction in the midst of those who engaged in it, that the control of the Government has passed permanently, into the hands of a sectional party which would soon trample on the political rights' of the South. This apprehension was shared in by a very large portion of the people who did not favor Secession, and who were so anxious for the preservation of the Union, that even coerci vemeasures, if tempered by justice and mercy, would not have estranged them. Under these circumstances the use of military force to put down armed resistance was not incomputable with tho restoration of the Union with its former glories and effec-tiohs, provided the means were employed in such a manner as to convinco the people, that their, constitutional rights would be respected. Such a poMcy, therefore, in the use of force, if force must be resorted to, had the manifest advantage of weakening the power of the rebellion; -and strengthening the Government, indepently of the moral force, which dignity and justice always lend to-authority. - ; '' A nolicy . which - recognized these nrincinles was wisely declared by Con gress in the beginning of the war;;: and from a fervent desire for the preserva tion of the Union, in which pride of coiintry and all my interests as a citizen centered not less than from a natural imDulse. I cave 'that pulicy my earnest support. Unibrtunatly it was to oiten. cneaiea 01 us aue eneui- by meiniruaiuu of sectional rancor, and the injudicious or unfaithful acts of agents of the Oror-' ernment; and when, .at i the expiration of a year,' a system of - spoliation arid disfxancluscment-was: inaugurated,-the the cause' was robbed of its sancti, and success rendered more difficult of attainment. - - Ybu have afi these few lihieis, an .exnla-liatibn of .the motives rjof my ; conduct LLi,-? --vH-'A -Jl-i'f:JJJr'-i iiv1' L-jli Willie 1 was in command, as weu.u iao jsfej-;1iichV'af service, a asioseuxny. tarrcx jtsoi-&er?-fid t broken i as j the professhznal habits smd aaaoclationsv to..which I:was leducated andinfwaich: 1 hate?, passed ,the iiarge iperlion ef mj.

K ' At Pawtucket, Rhode ; Island, on Wednesday, Mr. Gillmore (" Edmund Kirke") delivered a lecture, in which he described his interview with Jeff Davis, during a late visit to Richmond, and the substance of their conversation on the terms of a peace; The following is a report of Mr. Gillmore's remarks : I went to Richmond .with the Rev. Col. Jaques, and went with the hope of making negotiations which might result in a peace. If wo should succeed, we thought that the consciousness of having served our country would pay our expenses. If we failed, wo might still serve the country by letting the people 01 me xortn Know wnat was tne rea son of our failure ; for I went with pro positions on the basis of which I might have made an arrangement for peace with Mr. Davis, and it we wero- unsuc cessful, it would be useful for our coun try to know what propositions were re jected. e went to Richmond in as ambulance, and wero three hours on the way after we entered the rebel lines We entered Richmond at JO o clock, and planted our wnite nag in the very heart 01 the rebel capital. e were ta ken to a hotel and shown up to "No Gl," a shabby room with some fine fur niture in very bad order. We were provided with supper and directed Jiow to apply for an interview with the President. The next morning we directed a note to Secretary Benjamin, "asking an interview with the President, and were invited to call upon him, when we made an engagement to meet the President that evening, which was Sunday. On meeting our engagement, we were shown into the State Department, where we saw Mr. Benjamin, a small, plump, black-haired, black-eyed man, seated in his usual place,: and at his right a pale, thin man, dressed in a suit or darkish gray, with a mouth and chin expressive of the greatest determination. We told him simply that : we came without official authority, but knowing tho opinions of our government, to. see on what tcnua pciveo migLi be made. 2-I Du vis replied, quietly, Withdraw your armies irom our territory and peace will follow of itself." We told him that tho Northern people would never agree to snv man which did not include" the establishment of the Union. Mr. Da vis said that we could never live in peace. The North had sowed such a bitterness between the "two sections that we ne ver could have peace in this generation. We then urged upon him that it was his duty to use every effort to put a end to this monstrous bloodshed. He acknowledged this, and declared that hone of the blood shed in this war, could he Jay to his own charge. They, the South, were not fighting tor slavery ; they were fighting' for independence; and inde-r endence or extermination they would lave. We then tried to show him that the position of the rebel armies was such that it was better for "them to give np the contest while they could do it with honor ; but he was unwilling' to admit that his armies were in such a desperate position. IIo laid the blamo of the barbarity of this war entirely upon the North, utterly ignoring the instances of rebel barbarity which we brought to his notice. I then had a considerable conversation with Mr Davis, in which I directly offered him the terms which I had been authorized to snggest; but as he did not show any disposition to meet me, I did not state them explicitly. These terms wilt be given through the-newspapers in a short time. , They were, in general, entire abolition, a gen. amnesty, no confiscation, the debts of the South to be' ignored, the debts of the general government to be borne by all the states.
