bune furnishes that paper with very lengthy accounts of the "great conspiracy," from which we extract the following: Of the citizens arrested, a number were refused parole and bond, and continued imprisoned. It now leaks out that those men have been found to be influential officers of an extensive association, co-operating with a similar one in rebeldom, looking to the establishment of a Northwestern Confederacy, (!) and including as a part of the programme the forcible ejection of Mr. Lincoln from the executive office! The details of this matter might relieve the statement of any improbability arising from the apparent hopelessness of such an enterprise; but, doubtless, for good reasons, they are not at present permitted to be published. Colonel Sanderson has, we understand, unravelled the plot, not without the expenditure of much time and patience, as well as labor — it being necessary, with extreme caution, to gain the introduction of trustworthy Unionists into the council

It is claimed by them, and so explained in the oath or obligation itself which they take, that such resistance to the existing functiona

ey were prepared to make these proposals by Mr. Lincoln's authority; that it was necessary to have sisted on some evidence that they came from Mr. Lincoln; and in order to satisfy me, Mr. Gilmore redistinctly that you come as messengers from Mr. Lincoln for the purpose of agreeing with the Presid a formal negotiation for peace, charged by Mr. Lincoln with authority for stating his own views an that they came as messengers of peace from Mr. Lincoln; that as such they were welcome; that the Cat no offence was taken, and that he wished Mr. Lincoln's language to be repeated to him as exactly Jacques, that they came as messengers from Mr. Lincoln, is to be found in the fact that the views of Mr. Lincoln, as stated by them to the President, are in exact conformity with the offensive papeto "whom it may concern," which was sent by Mr. Lincoln to Messrs.

ions, it seems, had been roused by a debate in the House of Lords, in which some members indicated a strong desire to get Europe united in a movement to stop the effusion of blood. As he has always been one of the most influential persons about Lincoln, there can be little doubt that the attempt was made upon Napoleon, and that it failed. Whether it was made upon the Emperor of Russia, and whether that potentate is now in alliance with Yankeedom, we cannot say. But we think Mr. Blair was mosteward knew how the land lay for better than Blair when he told the President, as stated in this letter, that there was no cause for apprehension, that "England was all right," and that "Lord Lyons was our friend abroad, " (that is, the friend of Lincoln, Seward, and the Yankee cause). Lord Lyons, it will be recollected, was then absent in England. Francis P. Blair has been so long withdrawn from public life that it may be necessary to remind our younger readers who he is.

Benjamin's circular. This document will be read with peculiar interest by all persons and all classes of persons. That Gilmore and Jacques were emissaries of Lincoln, Mr. Benjamin does not seem to doubt. It is certain, at least, that they came here with his knowledge, and that they were in possession of his views. The proposition they submitted corresponded fully with Lincoln's circular "to all whom it may concern." The Confederate States were to submit, abolish slavery, acknowledge that they had done wrong, throw themselves on Lincoln's mercy, and ask pardon for having presumed to think they had a right to govern themselves. The question of Union orLincoln's mercy, and ask pardon for having presumed to think they had a right to govern themselves. The question of Union or Secession was to be submitted to the whole body of the people constituting what used to be the United States; and as they outnumbered us two to one, there could be no doubt of the event. Much has been said about the President's having received these two men. We are free to say that, under the circumstances, we do not see how
