" The following from the Albany
Erenin2 Journal is well worthy of re-
publication.
d" One of the most violent Pro-Slavery
sheets in the North is the Boston Courier.
1t goes into spasms every time a propo-
sitlon to touch the negro during the war
is broached. 1t lives in constant agony
lest in some manner or other the Pecu-
liar Institution" should be brusied in the
conflict. 1t appears to consider it of more
consequence that four millions of human
beings should be held in bondage than that
the Union should be preserved.
We do not envy such a spirit. 1t re-
fleets ne credit either upon the head or
heart of Northern man. We do not
desire to see the war assume the form of
an abolition crusade; but we do desire to
see Slavery severely let alone" We
would not assail it as such; but we noould
let it take care of itself We would not
deny it single constitutional right but
We would hedge it about by no special
sanctties. We would make no assaults
upon it so long as ii keeps ats place i: but
we would furnish it with no body-guard
to shield it against the accidents of war.
Through all our ranks the watch-wor
shoul be 3; We march against Treason
and let Slavery take care of itself ~
This is the only true doctrine-this is the
only creed worthy Northern patriots. To
90 beyold this would be to provoke yet
fercer and deadlier elements to strife to
stop short of this would be to turn an ar
my of Freemen INTO Il pack of slave-catca-
ers The Courier hangs on to the latter
horn of the dilemma. Let it hang! II
will find but Il sorry squad of followers o
its degrading creed.'
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1861-12-27

A Locus PENITENTIAE.-The Journal
of Commerce commends the method Of
treating the slave problem which We pro-
posed last evening, and says that it will
meet the appreciation of all the loyal
men of the North. But instead of Com
missioners of Confscation, the Journal
suggests special court, as more in con-
sonance with our legal usages, and which
shall adjudicate all cases in a regular ju-
dical manner. This amendment would
be, doubtless, an improvement, and is, at
any rate, worthy of the attention of our
legislators. Here is the article of the
Journal:
1--WE heartily congratulate the Eren-
ing Post on the principle thus laid down
in its leader of last evening. 1t is we'll
said, and meets the views which all con-
servative men hold. We have maintained
these doctrines for some months under
great storm of abuse, but they are the
doctrines of reason, of good sense, and of
patriotism, and they are the doctrines for
success. On this ground, whatever diff
erences of opinion there may be among
us to the abstract questions connected
with slavery, the North can be united.
The slave property Of rebels is unqucs-
tionably the subject of confscation as
much as their horses or their cotton. No
7ne desires confscated slares to be re-
turned to slarery. The government
should make precision for that and If
