WIN. ]. JACKSON, Secretary


|, has been predicted that go soon as PoMERoY
inS lin LAsr 'disgraced the Senate Of the
United States by their presence, the niger
onest;op- -would. be brought before the country
in more advanced state. The question ot
slavery in, the territories isaexhausted we
nov have ,be ultimate intention Of these men.
About the first act Of this Kansas pestilence In
the Senate. ia TO introduce the bill "To sup
nress the slayeholders' rebellion" which is as
eao L..s q y3Aios-1 we've Eui~Ss1
.T6.,,6r.. By virtue of the Constitution, as
herein set forth, and as a great misHafg neee''"y
forced upon us BY the rebellion,
"Be Il enacted by The Senate and House Of Rep
resentotiDes, ia Congress assembled, That, from
and alser the massage of this act, there shail
he no slavery or involuntary seryitude IN any
of the States of this Union that claim TO have
seceded from the Government, and are IN open
and armed resistance TO the execution Oh the
laws and provisions of the Constitution OF the
United States; and,
uBe Il farthere aacted, That, immediateiy upon
the passage of this act, the President OF tne
United States shall cause his proclamation 70
be issued setting forth the immediate ana un'
conditional emancipation OF all persons neiu u
slaves in any Of the aforesaid States unoer tne
laws .tbereoi; and also -oroepng all otncers y
giye nToteetion to all such emancipated slaves
ss shall ask it. and accept the services OF all
who NAV tender them in behalf OF the Govern
ment.> If, in the Judgment OF such oficers sucn
services shall be useful or necessary to the
prosecution of this war;"
What an utter absurdity it is to talk about
fighting for the maintenance OF the Union OF the
States, under such circumstances. LovEJoY
proposes to repeal the fugitive slave law, and
PoMERoY ptopOaes to abolish slavery in the
States. 1t is useless to argue the power Of
Congress to do this 1t would be an insult to
the intelligence Of the people IL will be said,
there is no danger of Congress passing such
law at this session. One would suppose this to
be the Case; but there 70 no telling what such
men will do. 1t, however, clearly indicates
what these men are driving OF, and what they
will do, 30 soon as they are able. 1t is the ad'
vauced guard of Abolitionism now, just as GID
DrNGsA and men Of his stripe were, ten and
fifteen years since.
This rebellionis As eSsuse, but without, their
action would be the same, sooner or later. 1t
is mere question of time. While the gallant
Union men of the South are at their peril
standing up for the Union, these Aboliionists
are giving the disppiopisls Of the South this
most matetiaf aid and comfort. While the
army Of the Union is slowly moving to the South,
and thousands of our gallant men are leaving
their bodies on the battle field, this moral pes
thence, fearing that his coadjators in the South
may b overcome, comes to their. rescue with
this new fre-brand. How many Union men
will be found in the whole South, when the res
olutions Of LovrJor and the PoMERoY bill are
read to and by the people' The truth is as
clea, as noon day, that these men are alarmed
lest the Union may be saved! More Abolition
