EMANCIPATION.

The Rev. DR.. Patton, a distinguished Con-
gregational minister from Chicago, with a
few others, waited on the President last
Saturday, presenting an address on the sub
ject of emancipation, in behalf of large
meeting held in Chicago, The address is
signed by large numbers of the best and
most influential citizens of all parties. II
urges emancipation as an absolute necessity
for prosecuting this war with any hope of
successful termination. The President re-
ceived the delegation very cordially. He
said the subject presented in the address
lay very near his heart, but he had not yet
made up his mind that he could adopt such
q policy. He then recounted some of the
principal objections to emancipation and
said as soon as he could relieve his mind,
he should certainly go as far as his petit
TONERS would desire

HON. J. NJ. ASHLEY. OF OHIO.

WHILE it will be greatful to our readers TO learn
that the Hon. ]. NJ. Ashley, from the 10th Con-
gressional District of Ohio, is re-nomnated, they
will hear with regret, that organized effort by
few professed friends of the Administration and
Vallandigham Democrats, has been set on foot to
elect a conservative man in his place, who would
cooperate with the Wicklies of the Border States
The means by which this has been effected as
unworthy as the election of the new candidate will
be unacceptable to every person familiar with the
character of Gen Ashley's services. A truer, more
devoted, more Jealous, and we may say, a more eff
fcient supporter of the Administration, cannot be
found in either body of the National Legislature.
We speak by the card when we say that none of the
numerous friends of General Ashley are moro
mindful of this than the President and his Cabinet.
One and ALL they would feel his loss severely
And this is the feeling of all true friends of the
Union cause with whom we have conversed upon
the subject. General Ashley is not merely the Re-
preventative of the Congressional District in Ohio
which nominated him he has endeared himself
to the friends of the Union everywhere. Pennsyl-
vania has as deep an interest in his reelection as
Ohio. He is one of those members whose every
yste and measure looking to the restoration of the
Union, have already given him national charac-
ter, which is destined to increase with the proon-
CATION of his public life. We hope that no petty
jealous dissensions among his constituents may
operate to deprive the nation of his valuable SER
vices at such time as the present.
! We take the above from Forney's Phila-
delphia Press. When it is borne in mind
that Mr.. Forney is one of the soundest and
ablest Union Democrats in the State of Penn
sylvania, and that his position in Washing
| tor has been such as to enable him to form
correct opinion of public men, too much
importance cannot be attached to such tes-
timony. 1t is in strange contrast with the
system of wholesale ISLANDERS, and insinua-
tions employed by the Blade, and other pa
pers of that ilk, to vililfy and traduce the
character of the gentleman referred to.

ORGANIZING THE NEGROES.

The Anti-Slsvery Standard has private
information confirming the statement Of tho
New York Times, already published, that
authoaity has been given by the War De-
partment for the organization and equip
ment of large body of negro eoldiers in
the Department of the South. Notwith-
standing the alleged supersedure of General
Hunter by General Mitchell, the Standard
says it has good reason to believe that
General Hunter is simply absent on leave,
and is not unlikely to return ero long with
troops enough to strike telling blow to the
heart of the rebellion.
What better negro is than white man,
that he should be relieved of the response
bility of standing up to be shot at, We have
long been at a loss to conjecture; and we
are, therefore, glad 10 see disposition on
the part of the Government to make them
share the dangers and hardships of our SOL
ders. We believe life is just as sweet to a
man, rescued from watery grave by ne
gro, as though it had been done by white
man and these same remarks will apply
with equal force to the life of our glorious
Republic.

wAsHBURNE RE-NoMINATED.

Hon. f. b. Washburne has been uominat-
cd by acclamation, as the candidate of the
unconditional loyal men of the Sd District of
Illinois, for Congress. Al the Convention
which nominated him, the following resolu-
tion was passed, which shows that those
comprising it were out-and-out Abolition
lists" as that term is used by the Waite
supporters, and the Butternut Democracy
generally;
Rssolred, That we have but one platform 1.-THE
Union," and but ore wstchword cit must and
shall be preserved" That upon this platform, and
with this motto, we present to the voters of this
Congressional District candidate for Congress,
and ask in his support the cooperation of all men
who believe that the Constitution and the rights it
guarantees to us are of nesfmable value, and that
in comparison with them, all other civil institutions
are vslueless, and when they conflict must be
wiped out and destroyed.

Under the head Of Unionism in Wood
County, the Blade reiterstes and embodies
its charge against Mr.. Ashley in the follow
ing graphic terms He is q man convict
ed by his own hand Of the grossest vsnality
ever charged against a Representative H.
Congress, to coin money out Of their most
presf and cherished sentiments" To make
the charge more emphatic, the Blade places
It in italics. 1t is to coin money out of their
most purest anG cherished sentiments. We
have heard of alchymists endesvoring to
to transmute meaner metals into gold, but
this is the first instance in which we have
heard of q metaphysical abstraction "cher.
ished sentiment" having been "coined into
money" The quality Of said money must
also be very remarkable as it is manufactur.
ed from the "most purest' metaphysical
material. Truly this is an age of discovery.
If the Blade will have the goodness to
state the process by which "most purest''
and cherished sentiments may be coined
into money, then we will acquiesce in it's
plaintive cry for "a long pull, strong pull
and pull altogether for this once"
We ask the Blade why it did not at all
earlier date publish said specific charges ?
Why secretly state to parties in its office,
and quietly circulate through the country
statements which if true, should have been
at once published throughout the district
Why obtain by surrepticious and discredit-
able means, private documents, and give
publicity thereto, without affording the
writer an opportunity for explanation -
Does such policy accord with either patriot
ism or honesty of intention? We are in
clined to think it accords but little with
either.
Had the editor of the Blade, Mr. Wag
goner, obtained the Toledo Collectorship
or had his partner, Mr.. Pelton, obtained the
Office of postmaster, which he desired, it is
probable we should have never heard of the
manufacture of money out of "most pures
cherished sentiments" We have not seer
Mr.. Ashley, neither do we know the expla
nation he may offer; but looking at the
affair as it now stands, we view the inuen
does, tho insinuations, the personalities, ant
the secret SANDER of Mr.. Ashley by set o
Republican disappointed Office seekers az
villisnous scheme of political trickery, b,
which they hope to engross Federal anc
County Offices. To this end the Blade hs
control of tho Wood County Independent,
and prints its outside pages. As satellite
of the Blade, it reflects the bitter prejudice
the sophistry and the political hypocrisy o
its leader; and, by every artifce that craft,
schemors can devise, they are seeking t
accomplish their ends. If they de not sue
ceed it will be because their malicious in
genuity is at fault.
