Tho Ame r:c,n civil war originally the creation Of hes
tile tariffs aud commercial JEALOUSY has now, at the hands
OF Fremont received textures OF aggravaiion which
must render all hope OF conciaon and comprom'se n
possbls General Fremont recently candidate for the
Presidential chair, and the present commander OF The
State of Missouri, has issued proclamation, dated ST.
Louis the lat of August In which he declares that the
property real aud peisona Of oil per,ons 10 thai State
"who shall take UP against the United States, or
who ss be directly proven 10 have taken an active part
with she enemy in the field shall be coDscated 70 the
puhc use and their slaves declared free men, We pie
sumo OF course that General French. s acting in coz
formty with the instructions Of the Federal Governmeht
To excite ard provoke serye war is the strongest mea-
sure Of srce which any Federal othcer has hitherto az
tempted to enforce The attitude Of the slave population
in the South which may be described as qpiescent arising
either from stclid ndrence the vieent coercion OF
their masters show that the negro rare Il not
posed TO take any part in the war. WlGen Fremont,
who expects to march iron s. Louis to New otsan tb-
tain the aid OF army o. black auIiaIie whose duty v
will be to carry FIRE and sword throughout the aDgh and
breadth OF the plantation States? We believe
so far succeed 10 miny Southern regim rs TO
remain at home for the purpose Of keeping the i,e'in
order but that he will! receive from his newly invited
sirs any efficient assistance Is matter wi respect TO
| which we must be permitted 10 express the graves
| doubt II the theory Of the Federal Governmen
ia TO be observed, slavery has nothing whatever
to do with tho qu6sio 0nly the other CAY, Mr.
Cameron, the Secretary Of War; sructed General
Butler at Fort Monroe, 10 receive fugitive
slaves and keep account Of the earnings OF those
who had already escsped 10 crdrr tba. the rights Of h'
! owner mgh, be respected. We infer from the preca
nation ct Cen Fremont that this res for the rights
OF property has nov been altogether ignored, ard that
the contest heretofore between au unpopular Gov
erpment and successful insurrectioiss m assume the
rev and aggravated orm OF remorseess aud sanguin
ary ser,ie var. Gen. Fremont may thiuk that he will
attract the sympathy Of Eoropeau nations ard that
great moral revolution may be Effected for the beni. o
