THE WAR AND SLAVERY.

Many persons seem anxious to complcatc
the struggle now making for and against the
integrity Of the Union with questions con-
oerning the pcrpotuation Of Slavery. Some
require the War for the Union to DO War
for the extinction of Slavery while others
would have pledges given by the Unionists
that Slavery shall in no case suffer from our
triumphs Each of those demands is in our
eyes untmcly and unreasonable This War
is in truth a War for the preservation Of the
Union, and for the destruction Of Slavery
and 10 would ALLEVIATE many ardent Unionists
to pcrvert it into a War against Slavery.
And, on the other hand, no pledges can be
given that Slavery shall receive no damage
from Union triumph, because ,among other
reasons no one can foresce how the slave
holding interest will behave ITSELF Our own
judgment confirms the testimony Of cool ob-
servers that the conspiracy against the life of
the Nation is rather that Of the political as
pirants than tho Shareholders Of the south
that, a general rule, the Shareholders have
been but reluctant hackers Of Secession, nine
tenths Of whose noisiest champions are as de-
stitute of slaves as of loyalty OF patriotism.
II the .lavehoders as a class would only speak
and act as they think and feel, we should
have the head conspirators before Grand Ju-
riCs within three months. That the South,
and especially the shareholders. whose pro-
/ perty is visible and tangible are destined TO
be ruined by Secession, is p ain. This rebel
/ lion found good fod-hauds worth $1,000 20
$1,000 each; they can now be bought for half
tie money; and will be sold for fourth Of
it before the war is ended II the slavehold-
ers do not interpnse to stop the strife, the
day predicted by John Randolph, when the
