If the extreme men Of the Republi- /,

plan for the suppression Of the rebel
lion, including the utter annihilation of
slavery. the people Of the free States,

We all desire, mdno one more anNiously
: than the President himself. Frothy
speeches, however, and polished rhcto-
TIC from NIr. Smnner, and furious de-
claIlation from fanatics, will not affect
this question. Since Congress assem-
b!cd there has scarcely been anything
done except the offering Of an indefinite
riumbcr Of resolutions, Of various char
acters, upon the' sllvcrr question. Ey-
crymambcr, almost, has an axe to grind
upon thar, But 10 single one has pro-
posed anything likely to attract the at
tcntion Of those who arc looking to the
suppression of the rebellion and the re-
storation of. the Union. Striking at
slavery over the heads of an army
which prevents our advance into the Gu.
cmy's country will not answer tho pur,
pose; the enemy must be made to feel
the superior power Of the governments
ability to conquer, before they pay
much attention to the proclamation of
emancipation.
/ We learn from several sources that
when it was yet unknown in Washing
ton what course the President was a.
bout to take upon the emancipation
question, the deepest feeling prevailed
among the Union members of Congress
from the border slave States. The most
prominent among them were open in
their declarations, that an emancipa-
ton policy would instantly throw their
States into the Southern Confederacy,
annihilate the Federal troops, and ut
terly crush out all Union feeling among
them. Yet, Notwithstanding these as
surances, the extreme men of the Re,
publican party are acting precisely as
if they desired to inaugurate the hor>
rors which these border State men arc
D laboring to avert.
! The leading Republican papers, too,
are full of suppressed bitterness at the

report. The ablest of them, the New
York Evening Post, says thecf mes
: sage that:
| "Nothiug in this message speaks TO the
popular ht art; nothing IN it seems up to the
spirit OF the times; no sententious utterances
OF great truths are there TO stir the public
mind in the midst Of trial aud calamities."
The Cincinnati Gazette, too, tht
leading Republican paper Of Cincinna
ii, takes sides with Cameron, and says
"The document, as originally prepared, i
