This man Cochran was at the Charies!on

l. Cameron never had any principle; he was
never accused Of ii; and II accused he was
never guilty Here, then, are two demagoguel.

4 given directions on this whole subject, and these
subordnates are laboting to undermine these
4 directions. The Cabinet should instruct THESE
demagogues that it was left to the rebels % arm
negroes and Indians; that the Government II

! disgrace to the Government, and is worthy o
Just two such demagogues as Cochran and Gam
Whist shall be done with negroes, is
puzzlinR question. In the case OF Beaufort, 5
u G., the difficulty presents itself The maste
runs away and leaves the negro. II is not tn
Z business Of the army to make laws to COVER
Z. property. The army can only treat negroes, Q
3 whose ownership they know nothing officially
as best they can; employ them, ii they ar
found idle, as they would anything else. Stat
q laws only can reach the case Of these negroes
and the State authorities have run away,an
for all the army has to do, the negro can ru
. away too. 81
8 Let the negro be sent to his master, it may b
4 said. When there 10 any constitutional la'
: making that the duty of the military, il may b
done; but If Jeff. Davis's horse should stra
e away into McClellsn's camp. we question II la
or courtesy would require the latter TO send
! hack. The negro will come under the sam
] rule. An enemy must take care of his ow
property; he can hardly expect 1t to be ser
Z back 10 him by party he stands ready to shoe
!. The injury TO slave property by this rebellio
! any man Of sense must have foreseen. Cove
nor Morehead declared, before he was bite
, by secesslonism, that 1t was the worst bio
q slavery had ever received, and In that he spok
as a rational man. Where an invading arm
goes, and State laws are dead letters, owing I
!. the desertion Of white men, what is to becom
Q of the negro, when there is no white man wit
authority to execute State laws3 Shall th
Federal Government undertake TO project slav'
u ry in the States, or TO execute State laws wit
g no State authorities TO administer them2
i Besides, if masters defy Constitutions an
.eI laws, and get up rebellion, what can they e.
;, pect Of the negro, but to follow the example7
D There are inherent and insuperable dificu
ties on this subject, which lie In the way Of IN
o best intentions and when men are after thei
! rights they should have Judgment enough :
10 see when they are in the path to sacrihe
e rights; abandoning them to the protection 0
n their enemies, who have no legal power, if the
A had the inclination, to protect them.i. 20. Il
The course advised by Cochran, and indorse'
BY Cameron, whilst it might do great damag
:; to the rebellion, would do still more damage :.
D the Union cause. IL would disgust the Soutl
universally, and a great majority Of the North
We are aware that the rebels are destroying
the property OF loyal States and loyal men
: There are no base means they do not resort 70
but the Government has no right to follow th'
infamous example. 1t has full power to pu
down this rebellion without resorting to law
E Iless and revolutionary means. If 1t has no
s the power, better get 1t up, than to adopt auc'
i meane. ...,. 4 r.-. .t.-za.rff tr1Il
The dispatches may not fairly represent tn
8 parties; but from their antecedents, We expec
y nothing better from them, and are not at q
4 surprised at the report. Neither Of them care
anything about slavery. They never care
anything for the principle. They are onl
. pandering to the Abolition element OF u
q North for their own personal ends. ,s.W
