NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..


N.-EmANCsPATION.
Itisa remarkable fact that our journa
which profess the greatest hostility TO En'anc
patton as an uii;idote to the Slaveholders' r.
bellion are at the same time perpetually return
ing to the subject and seem unable to let it alonl
!, Even the Herald, for the few weeks that it VI
i frightened into quasi loyalty to the Union an
its Government, almost daily proclaimed Eman
cipation tho true, cffectual mode OF resistin
Secession. Now it trims its sails to contrar
breeze just as it necessarily menaces Canad
1 and Cuba with conquest in order to drive Grea
Britain and Spsin into sympathy and practice
i ai'iance with our traitors. The Herald Is no
cunning enough to hide its purpose, which evel
the British journals detect. though they nse il
I sily fulminations TO counteract and stine th,
British sympathy for the Union cause. Wer,
the World honestly and earnestly for the Union
! it would not seek to alien ate its friends nor X
multiply its enemies.
1 The World joins in the cry against Einancipa
| ti0n to overcome Rebellion, and curiously cites
! Napo|eon's Russian experience in ronfrma
| tion Of its view of the matter. Napoleon, w
nre told, was tempted, on invading Russia in
I 1912, to proclaim the Emancipation of the
Seris, and thus create for himself formidable
| ally in the very, heart CT the enemy's country.

his real reason. Napoleon, the Heir OF the
