What Shall Be Done with the slaves
The disposition of slave property in the
present contest is anomalous and full of diff
6culties. In treating the question, the
Chicago Times remarks, that to proclaim
the freedom of all the slaves would be to
inaugurate policy which would extinguish
all Union sentiment in the South. To re-
ceive runaways ad llbitum into the service
of the government would soon entail an
expense which would be uncomfortable. To
send them to the North would overflow our
cities and villages with lazy, indolent and
worthless population, whom the people
would be compelled in self defente to drive
from among them. To put arms into their
hands opens vista of horror which it is
painful to contemplate, and presents the
question, What is to become of them when
the rebellion is crushed out? In every view
the question is full of difficulty, and will cre-
ate increasing embarrassment to the govern.
ment and to military leaders. 1t will soon
become of more importance to the northern
people than to the southern. In any view
we can discover no advantage which the
negro can derive from the rebellion. Self
defence will compel us to leave them where
they are, and we fervently hope that we
shall not be called upon to decide what
course we shall pursue if they fly to arms.
Our instincts would compel us, in such
case, to resist them to every extremity, and
this is undoubtedly the sentiment of the
North but States which have abjured the
constitution ought not to hope for such
magnanimity. Yet it must not be concealed
that they may need it. The war cannot
proceed without the slaves becoming mutt
nous: and when that event occurs, the sla-
very question will assume an Importance to
the North which it has never possessed in
] the past.

section of the State, which we subjoin j:

In the last named counties majorities
merely are given. The appeal says the
majority against representation in the
Southern Congress is much larger than the
above. In Middle Tennessee, Wayne gives
500 Union majority I; Macon, 225 do. In
some of the other counties the vote is nearly
divided. In West Tennessee, Decatur
county gives 200 Union majority. The
vote of the Tennessee troops at Pensacola
was for disunion, 1877; Union, none (of
course.) 1t was stated some time since
that if the Unionists polled 10000 votes
in the State, they would forcibly resist
secession. We do not think their vote has
reached that figure.
The reason for the strong Union vote
in East Tennessee, may be found in the
fact that in the twenty-nine counties COM
posing that section of the State, there was,
according to the census Of 1860, white
population of 27O,02l, and slave popula.
ton of but 81 ,535.

Ex-Secretary Holt Sustains the Gov
eminent.

Hon. JOSEPH Holt, who was for
short time Secretary at the close of the
administration of Mr.. BUCHANAN, pub
fishes letter in one of the Louisville pa
pers, in which he assails the position OF
neutrality assumed by the Governor of K en-
lucky between the rebellious States and the
United States government. He shows that
such position cannot be sustained upon
any just or patriotic principle, for the fed.
eral government is either right or it is
wrong in maintaining the integrity of the
Union at the point of the sword. How
little ground there is for secession Mr.. HOLT
demonstrates in the following words:
The census returns show that during the year
1860 the Fugitive Slave Law was executed
more faithfully and successfully than it had
been during the preceding ten years. Since
the installation of President Lincoln. not a
case has arisen in which the fugitive has not
been returned. and that, too, without any OPP
position from the people. Indeed, the fidelity
with which it was understood to be the policy
of the administration to enforce the provisions
of this law has caused perfect panic
among the runaway slaves in the free States,
and they have been escaping in multitudes to
Canada, unpursued and unreclamed by their
masters. Is there found in this reason for q
dissolution of the Union?
This testimony from southern man
speaks volumes. The truth is that the al
legged loss to the South by fugitive slaves
was mere pretext for the dissolution OF
the Union, and that conspiracy had ex-
listed long previous to the Presidential elec-
ton to break up the confederacy, with or
without causa. 1t is an old and true say.
ing, "where there is will there is a way."

to fix period not only more than one.half
shorter In its duration, but to enforce this ex.
treme and oppressive right at the expense of
neutrals, whose innocent commerce 1t should
be it's duty as well as its policy to protect with
at least the same consideration and indulgence
which England and France extended to the
merchant ships of Russia.

dairy, owing to the zeal with which they
have heretofore urged the inviolability of
blockades. 1t concludes its article, of May
81, as follows
All this tends to future difficulties 1t is at this
moment the anxious desire of every political
party In this country to avoid being in any way
implicated in what is now going on beyond
the Atlantic. Never did any people look on
with calmer or more judicial minds upon the
events passing on outside their own land than
do the British people upon this American
quarrel. The prevailing feeling is one O. sim.
pie regret. We sympathize with the exagge. at.
ed resentment of neither party. But we have
hitherto felt no immediate effects operating
upon ourselves. We cannot answer that our
thoughts would be as calm, or our judgment
as impartial, if all Lancashire were blockaded
by the feet which blockades the Southern
ports, and if the ships which keep those ports
closed were at the same time keeping closed
the workshops of Manchester and Sheffield.
The law of blockade might then come to be
discussed in very different spirit. Now,
while it is yet time,sit is, we think, the duty
of the government of Europe to come to some
general understanding upon this subject, and
to agree to propositions which shall form
real public law. We are, for the first time,
neutral Power; we hope to remain so; we no
longer feel ii to be vital interest to sustain
exaggerated pretensons in favor of belliger.
ent Powers. We draw nearer now to those
principles with which we have always in form.
er days been in conflict, and we mi ht escape
many difficulties which are not far ahead if we
could give universal authority to some we'll
considered exposition of the law of blockade,
the rights of neutrals, and the description Of
articles contraband of war.
