inrolitic and Il gal. Its Washington cores
p,rjent saya:
There il little said row as 10 the dosiri'iliiy
or propriety OF emarcipating tho slaves Of rob-
els BY proclamation. The cabinet have not
only come to the conclusion to keep this
matter in reserve, but as soon as the reb-
el armies are out Of the way, to notify
the Shareholders that by returning 20 the
Union Ihey could retain possession Of their so-
called property, but II thoy were disposed TO
be- rebollious tho Government could not indorss
their claim 10 hold slaves. Iii, believed that
this argument will be offsctual upon the groat
body OF the Southern tlayoholders, and will
make them in time very gocd Union men.
