mEnt OF the North up TO the point Of arn1ing
the eolored population Of all sections As alliea
fathers and brothers aud sons to pour
out their precious lives by thousands,
when by nIming mud organizing the slave pop
u1ation We may save thousands Of lives Is
the right Of property in negroes 80 much
more precious than the lives Of white Saxon
while we guard the other with misery care
The question comes up now in practical
form and cannot be bllnked long. Shall We
free the slaves Of all rebels and use them to
conquer their rebe1lious masters, OF shall We
throw Away the lives Of Thousands of white
men In accomplishing the same object! Il
cannot be objected to this that the slaves VIII
commit excuses unknown to civilized war
fare. They have already proved capable OF
suhorlination In former Wars, and the rebels
having get the example have no right to com
plain. Of course proposition Of this kind
will raise howl among the coWed traitors
ard slavery apologiBts il our midst, who have
no other safe way to exhibit their completely
withfreason except by denourcing all vigorous
measures for it's suppression. But % I look
upon the pale, ghostly corpses Of the dead,
even now borne past my window, as be
the MANNED as 1t crosses the Potomac xnd
scatters over the land-a8 remember how
many homes are deso1ate, and hoE many
hearts are broken BY the loss Of precious

Everybody is running over with e1plana

| The Chicago TRIBUNE and the New York
Tribune, they say, forced the President to- or
der an advance, and these eheets must noW
take the responsibility Of it's consequences,
and go down under the we1ght Of popular
