the publication Of DR.. Bronsons maeterly
argument on the slavery and War" ques-
ton, which we hope will receive the care
full attention Of every reader Of tho Journal
Coming ms Il does, from "Dronson's Quar-
terly Review;" the ablest and most efficient
organ of the Roman Catholic Church in the
United States, it cannot fell to arrest the at

would not 1c safe to say, however, that his
vio~s on this question or any other are ne
cessarily adopted by majority Of tho cler-

which he is distinguished champion, but

ing on among intelligent and conscientious
men, not only in the Catholic Church, but
among all crceds and classes. That il has
met with warm response in many unex-
pected quarters we have reason to know
The Wheeling Intollgencer, for instance,
copies IL with approving comment.) That
it will have marked influence in shaping
public sentiment no one can doubt who be-
leves in the power Of truth welded by so
able logician as DR.. Bronson.
The principal points taken up and agued
are as follows: The Constitution is not to
be appealed to by those who have kicked
it off and torn it into shrods. In point Of
fact, they have not appealed 10 it; they
scorn to do so. Slavery is the cause of the
rebellion, and hence slavery has estopped
from complaining of it's consequences. The
rebellion must be put down at all hazards,
and to put it down we must employ such
means as will do it, rather than than those
that will not do it. Slavery and freedom
always have quarreled and always WILL
Their antagonism is innate and it would
seem that one or the other must finally con-
quer. The thought that slavery must last
forever, that we must forever exist in the
turmoil which its presence creates, is at
least not very encouraging. If we do not
rid ourselves of the curse now, while the
means arc in our hands, we never can. The
right to remove it now is identical with the
right to take life or property on the battle
field. Slaves are either property or citizens
If they are property, they are liable to con.
fiscation; if they are citizens the Govern.
mcnt has right to employ their loyalty
and their enormous strength in putting down
the rebellion and restoring peace. But the
slave is mamie has n soul-he has Di.
vine right to freedom, and "hc fights at ter
rihlc odds who has the infinite and just GOD
against him."
Let not its length prevent any one from
reading the article. Read and judge yo iol

Our Superior strength.

The Superintendent of the Census Bureau
reports that in the State of New York there
are 766,344 white male persons between the
ages of eighteen and iorty-live. Such is the
effective arms-bcaring population" of the
Empire State alone. This number is about
half that Of the same element of military
strength in all the States south Of Mason's
and Dixon's line 1t is fully equal to that of
the States of Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia,
Mississippi, North Carolina South Carolina,
bearing population of Pennsylvania, New
York and Massachusetts alone are greater
than that of the entire south, including Ken
mcky and Missouri. New England and the
free States of the center and west then
come to augment immensely the disparity
of numerical strength between the States
true to the Union and those of the bogus
ConIcdepcy. Still greater is the disparity
in wealth, and yet greater that in the pow
er of producing wealth, While the south
is distinctivcly agricultural, the business o
the free States is more evenly distrihuteC
between agricultural, manufacturing an,
commercial pursuits. The superior potcn
cy OF the latter States is evinced by the pa
/ tent fact that we have the whole southern
coast under blockade respected by foreig,
4 powers, state of things tending still NOR
TO restrict the means of the enemy, Will
TO us remain open the ports and commerc
of the world. Ours has the further advaI
tage of the respect, sympathy and hes
wishes of mankind, wmle abroad the fo
has no friends except those who are sue
ont of hatred to republican institutions {
love for lucre and cotton.
