There is littlashopsrAat snythipg can
be done toward the settle dneut ofoursna-
sionsi difficulties. at present. except to
save the border slave States. This may
he done by conciliation, apd by giving
them fulsassurance that their rights will
be respected in the Union. The fact that
nearly baif-ths power oftho Slave States
has already been withdrawn may cause
the remaining States to Sesa little more
exacting. Tie South, before auy seces-
sion. possessed nearly one half of the
power Of the nation; the border slave
States will have less than one third. IN.
BY retaining the border slave States in
the Union, the cotton States will soon
6nd it to theiriinterestJ to dretnrns to- the
fold again. But if the North is nnyield.
ing and uncompromising, the border slave
States will go, and then the. Southern
Confederncy will have within itself all the
elements necessary foran Independent na-
Ftion. The border slave States grow oil
the products of the Northern States il
sufficient squautities to supply the entire
South The cotton States are therefore
doing their utmost to drag the borde.
States out with them. whileunfortunately
too many in the North are driving the
border States in. the Same direction. II
they do remain in the Union, under these
circumstances, they wilr dessrvs credit fol
