Exchange Of Prisoners--lincoln To Blame

Why aro notour brave soldiers exchanged and brought back to resume their place in the rnnk, or to recover health in our well suppliöd hnspitals, or better stü!, ín thoir ou comtbrtable homes, at the hands of their wives, mothers,and sisfers? Wbo is lo blaine? It is President Liiieolii. We want the pufftring s Uiers lo know tti. We want the wives and molhers and sisters oí the soldiers wbo have died in the Southern prisona, and of tbose whoare dying, to fcn'ow this. President Lin ooln, and he alone, is to blame. Confedérate ailthoritiea are wilüng and anxious to exchange prisonens, nüin for man, upon equal terms, But President Linsoln h s appqinted an agent' of cxchange on tho part of the United States u man, Genera] Butler, whom ho knows to be especially oclious to the sou tb, exeerated by tb e people, nd formally outlawed by their governtnent ; a man with whom the Confedérate governmünt eannot honoraWy couduct atfy negotiatiolis, and wil] rol haveanything todo excopt to han? him, ií they can catch him. President Lincoln knew this, ind ippointed Butler, becnuse he knew it. Ho does not wish an exchange of prisoners to tnke place. It is not his policy. President Lincoln does not beliuve Northern soldiere to be the equivalent oí Southern sokliers, man for man. He strikes the balance of value, as ho nnderstands it, between them, and for the sake of eeeuriog its eft'ect in future military operations, he deliberalely resolves to let thousands of Northern soldiers to languish in Southern prisonp, that he miy hold an equal number of Southern eoldiers in oure. - This is President Lineoln'a way of making Northern soldiers terve thtir country. We hope that they wil] remember, and thank him for it, Thurlow Weed, it is asserted, holds uiGre whiskey than any other maa in the country- for speculation.
