of the Northern Government, msintsiuing tbess
impious claims and resolving 10 enforce them though
pretending determination to put down the rebel

friend shp. we give them an order on the Union io
whatever they desire. The pretended constitution
compact pleaded for the reconstruction OF the opio
and Slavery which lie the re-enslavent OF the Ioo'
slaves and their posferity. And thus, If this policy
be persisted in, instead of being governed, as for

SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT.
The bill providing for the abolition of Slavery
within the District of Columbia, introduced by
Senator Wilson, and referred to the District
Committee, was intrusted to Senator Morrill,,
who has prepared bill which provides for the
immediate emancipation of all the slaves in the
District, aud for limited compensation to loya
owners, not to exceed $500 per slave on the
average. Owners must, within ninety days,
file their claims, together with proofs Of
value, and of loyalty, with Commissioners.
These are to report within nine months.
They ore authorized to examine the slave Us
well as the master, in order to determine the
latter's right to compensation. 1t is believed
that the bill will commend itself to a majority
of the Committee. 1t is composed Of Messrs.
Grimes, Dixon, Morrill,, Wade, Anthony, Ken.
NEEDY, and Powell The number of slaves now
in the District is about 5000. Probably more
than half belong to masters who will swear
that they are loyal. The total cost to the
nation of emancipatmg cannot be over s. ,000,-
600, and may not be- much more than S500,0OO.
THE BLOCKADE.
The demand aud the concession in the Trent
affair we're but the fOrerunDers Of new de.
mand aud concession, as we propbesied. What
will be the Justification of the acknowledgment
of the claim, that the blockade of the rebel ports
be raised, save the necessity of weakness, We
do not pretend to guess. But a consolation is
probably in store for us in the possession of
Charleston. Savannah, Mobile and New-Or-
leans by Union armies and Union fleets. The
exercise of their functions by JEFF. Davs's col
lectvrs of the customs, under French and
British protection, will be scarcely compatible
with our as yet unaisputed right Of bottIine
up traitors.
