ET The New York Tribune has an able
article on the war policy as connected with
slavery. We make the following extract in
regard TO the views Of the editor OF the
Tribune on this subject There are many
who think that slavery 10 the rebel States
should be abolished, il snch a course be
deemed necessary to save the Union. Soch
is the opinion of Gen. Cass oDd other dis.
tinguished statesmen -
"Those who think with us do not ask fhe
Government to turn oside from its great
paramount duty of preserving and maintaining
the Union in order to abolish Slavery, and we
insist that it shall not do so in order to pro-
tect and uphold Slavery. Let the Rebels
be again proiiered general amnesty ii they
will lay down their arms and defer TO the
laws, which ore ns much theirs as ours let
them be pro6ered peace on the simple and
sufficient basis of mutual Difference and obe-
dipnce to the Constitution but let them at
the same time be distinctly notified that,
should they persist 10 their rebellion beyond
day specified, they shall then and thence.
forth be held legally negrol-ss-as having
forfeited by treason their legal right to bold
other human beings 10 bondage-and they
will either succumb, or it will soon be seen
tho, our prefer of emancipation has tied up
one of their hands and released one Of ours.
Ill the world outside of this country SEQ this
and wonder why we persist in fighting in
fet,ers they cannot imagine why we should
he so forbear,ng toward those who evlnce nc
forbearance toward us. The fact that the
Union upholds that which is doing its deadl
est to smash the Union, is riddle whi.t
Europe canpot read, and induces belief that
we are not really in earnest 10 our anti
Secession struggle"

the yield will be short OF what is now
