encing the delights Of the charming climate OF the
fruitful ana sunny South, than the Cloths and Van
daB OF centuries by gone were TO withdraw from
the Italian paradise they had occupied. into the
wilderness rom whence their hordea poured forth
TO overrua the world. No government of the
United States will ever be strong enough to induce
Shs six hundred thousand troops about entering the
rebel States to abandon the region their arms shall
have conquered. Therefore, emancipating negroes
would not be turning them loose agast the present
rebel population of the South, but against the
Northern invaders Of the Southern soil that are to
be its future oceupers, who will never consent 70
reslde North of the Potomac again. and who will
permit no competition, by an inferior race, with
their future lsbOurs.
3. Abolition politicians viii shortly open their
eyes to this fact, that the entire army is against
them, and they will then no m0re dareto continue
TO urge their nefsTious and unpatriotic projects,
than the "On TO Richmond" demsgogucs OF five
months ago did TO risk the dangers of defending
their clsmorous outcries agsinst the AdmInistra-
ton, after the disastrous defeat al Ball Run. The
advantages they imagine must accrue from agitaS
ton Of the Slavery question WILDE wholly against
themselves, and will ruin them in the eyes of the
nation. They have been recently reinforced BY
large numbers Of honest but minimizing zaslots for
the welfare of the Republic, who have reasoned
that as, through emancipation, adeadly blow might
be aimed at rebellion, it ought to be struck in or
der that traitors may suffer. This latter class when
better informed, and aware Of Whist has become
evident to farsighted patriots namely that unnec.
essary slave armug, slave emancipation or attempt
to raise negroes to q level with the white race
would cause the disbandment of our armies and ir-
revoeable auimOsity among loyal non-slavehOlders
of the South, will throw their weight into the scale
ofthe administration and be guided by the sane and
sagacious policy it incueates.
4. In view of these circumstances President Lin.
coin fsEors the plan of colonization. Believing ia
the theory of natural fitness of races for particu-
lar zones; thoroughly aware that the majority of
the inhabitants of the border States from the ear
liest days of the career of Henry Clay, up to the
present hour have been in favor Of the total oceu
patton of the soil of these States by whites and the
removal of blacks; disciple Of the school of JEFF
ferson and Madison which desired to make ofCentral
America q region, which, inhabited by negroes,
would supply the whole world with cotton and SUI
gar-the India of the United States convinced that
the country is abundantly able to pay the value Of
the slaves colOniZed out of the eonscated proper
" of pertinacious Confed erates, Mr.. Lincoln has
presented the colonization Echeme faVoraby in his
message, and il will be sustained by him to the full
est extent of his power.
