the emancipation policy. We select few OF
the more pointed passages in this article for the
purpose of placing before our readers the pres
ent views OF the Journal, and enabling them to
compare these with Its future course and that
of the cabal Of which II is the organ. They
will then be able to Judge how far the conduc'
tors Of that sheet were sincere IN their affected
opposition to radical Abolitionism, and whether
that opposition was not mere hyposritical pre-

Union sentiment Of the South is becoming more
annarent, and ia evidently rousing itself to re.
sIstance with more determined ,vigor than at
sry former time We'cannot repeat all the In
d;catiops of this; but they are numerous and
uneouiyocal. Yet, If this special doctrine be
annouuced as the object and purpose of the war,
that Union sentiment is annihilated. There is,
then, nought left but utter snbjugation. infee
months ago we maintained that the solidiying
