The American civil war, originally The crea-

iNpossi Bile. General Fremont, recently a
candidate Tor the Presidential chair. and the
present commander of the STATE OF Missouri
nag isstle@ a proclamation, dated ST. Louis
the cisg OF August, ~ which he declares that
the property real and personal, OF all per-
t2ils Ia that Sta te - who shall take uO arms
against the United States u yvnt, shall he
directly proven to have taken ~ active uart

that General Frelnontis Gctiug IN conformity
vita the ins;rue .!cn. or the FEDERAL Govern
EiSnt 10 excite and provoke Il sergile war is
the strongest measure Of offence which any
te''erai officer has hitherto attempted to en-
force. The attitude Of the slave naurlatioo
il tht South, which may be described as uui-
escent, aTi'lA6 either from stOiid indifference
or the v'giiant coercion OF their masters,
seems 10 sho@ thar Tie negro race is not dis
posed to take ANY part il The war. VIII Gen.
Fremont, who expects to march from St
Louis 10 Me-" Orleans. OBTAIN the aid OF an
army OF black aUEililries, whose duty il vii
be 10 carry fra and sword throueGou the
length ana breadth OF the plrntation States ,
We believe that he may so far succeed SO to
cause many southern regiments to remain at
nome Tor the purpose of Keeping the slaves in
order, but that he viii receive from his newly
tuVited allies any efficient assistance is
matter with Respect 10 which we must
De perInltted to express the rravest doubt Ii
the theory OF the Federal Goyerprnent is 10
be observed, slavery has nothing whatever 10
do with the question. Only the other dav Mr
Cameron, The Secretary Of War iostrtic ted
Gen. Butler, ~ Fort Monroe to receive no
md 10 >
OF the earnings of those who had aire3dy
escaped, in order that the rights of the owner
might be respected. We infer from the pro-
ciamatlon of Gea. Fremont that this regard
for the rights OF property has now haeu .Ito-
gether ignored, and thai the contest hereto
fore one between an unpopular Governrn eli t
ana successful Iusurrectionists, NAV assume
the new and aggravated form OF q rem orset ess
and sanguinaTy seryile war. Gen. Fremont
may think that he will attract the sy m pat Y
OF European natious, and that 4 great mo raj
revolution may be effected for tie benefit OF
the negro population by making the emapci
patton of the slave to depend upon the allesi-
ance or disloyalty of his master. The posi-
tiol OF the free negro in the Northern Sta tes
is in no respect enyi:sble. The law gives him
rights which the inexOIable custom of the
country does not permit him to enjoy He
is kept separate, rs kind of pariah OF society
in the place OF worship, in the public vehicle,
ana In the ordinary intercourse of life. Mrs.
stowe may charm never so well with her
beneyolently intended and amusing Gctions
but she cannot disproye the fact that both In
North and Sou TIL the negro is treated as the
member OF a degraded and subseryient race
We therefore do not imagine that the prccia-
nation OF General Fremont will attrac,
much attention in tn South or even anon cat
the people of this country, especially when.
in the latter case, it will be correctly consid :
ered simply rs penalty attached 10 the Of
fence OF high treason. Much as Engiishmen
value the freedom Of the slave, they would
not wish 10 see this great object accom- plisbed
by domestic treason, and that wlolesale
slaughter which always marks the track OF
seryiie insurrcction.

Sept. Ia.
The civil war in America seems to he enter
Ing rpon new stage. While the exploit of
General Butler has given the Federal Gov.
erpment the command of the coast of North
Caroiina, Generai Fremont, in Missouri, has
by MS proclamation boldly put forward the
grand issue of the contest. The property. he
says. real or personal of all persons In the
state OF Missouri, who shall take up arms
against the United States. or who shall be c.i
rectiy proven To have taken active part with
their enemies Ia the field, Is declared to be
conffscated to the public use, and their slaves
II they have any, are hereby declared free
men But, as we have said, tho proclaimed tion
OF General Fremont has altered the whole
aspect OF the question. It IL true, accordins
70 Its terms, that the slaves who are 10 bs
emancipated must belong 10 active Secession
lists; but the fact being that most Of the great
slaveowners in the South have in fact. tnksn
up arms for the Confederate Government K
II obvious that, II the same principle which
has been applied in Missouri Il TO he applied
70 the other States, General Fremont's proc.
general abolition. Now, at least. ths connec.
ton bctween tbs action OF the North and the
abolition OF slavery will be practically estab.
Hshed. NO one can contemplate the posatble
results o. sudden emancipation Of 900 ,0O0
