PATTuO SLAVES.
In the discussions 10 progress 10 Maryland,
We notice suggestion from some quarters, that
The question q accepting the proposition by the
President and Congress in respect 70 the emsn.
cipstion of slaves, can be discussed more dellb-
eratsly and decided more wisely afssr this war
Is over than now. This might be true, II the
proposition did not by its own terms expire
with the var, and II The probabilities were not
very decisivs that no such proposition will be
renewed In tims Of peace. -..,.. \,
The resolution passed BY Congress on this
subject, WA In % many words The resolution
framed aod recommended 70 them In message
from the President, which placed the offer Of
compensation 10 the States for emancipating
slaves upon the ground Of bsing 20 conducive
TO the restoration Of peace, % 70 justify the
proposed expenditure. The President argued
that the cotton States would not have under
taken this war without the expected support Of
the border slave States, and expressed the
opinion that nothing would be more likely to
cause them 70 give up tho war, thaa the sxtin-
guishmsut Of their expectations Of this sup
port Such an extinguishment, - the Presi-
dent urged and ss everybody sdmits, would
result from the abolition Of slavery, a. fast and
q fer o the border elsve States could be sue
ceeivey induced 70 adopt II, since II Is apparent
that the cement which holds the rebellion to-
gether 10 the common possession Of . peculiar
institution, and that no free State can ever by
suy possibility be persuaded to join Confed-
erscy Of which that peculiar institution is the
cornerstone. Urging the matter from this
point Of view, the President said that the coun-
try would consider how much the war was
costing every month, and then decide If 1t
might not be wise, even In . pecuuisry point
Of view, to pay what might induce the emanci-
patton Of slaves In the border States, II thereby
the duration of the war would be shortened.
The whole drift Of the argument of bis mes
sage, was, 10 short, directed In favor Of compen-
sating the States for emancipating slaves, provi.
ded they did II before the war closed, and as
means Of closing the war. 1t has no bearing
at all upon any such question as that Of o0us-
pensation for emancipation, when peace shall
have been restored. And the resolution parsed
by Congress, being lin fact) the Presidents
resolution, Is to be construed according 10 the
message In which be communicated and re-
commended Il to Congress. And It is also
now fresh Ia the recollection Of all, that II was
upon that construction Of 1t, that Congress
gave II their approval.
The President may be in favor, in point Of
fact, Of compromising the States for acts of
emancipation after peace b restored, upon
other grounds than those cot out In the mes-
sage referred to. We know nothing about bis
views in that respect He has not made them
public, and the occasion has not yet arrived
when be would Be called upon to do 20. But
what We mean to say, is, that so far, neither
the President nor Congress are committed 70
anything beyond compensation TO such States
a. shall liberate slaves while this civil war h
raging, and with view 10 beneficial effect
upon its termination. This Ia the exact condi.
ton Of the case, and the parties Interested
should not be left to act under any delusIon In
respect to 1t. So far as commitments have
been made, there is every guarantee, and e.
peclally in the favor with which public opinion
has responded 10 them, that they will be re-
deemed. Such border States a. are now wise
enough to rid themselves of great burden.
will be compensated for all Inconvenience,
while themselves enjoying all the benefits. of
so doing. But II they walt till this war 10
over they must take the chances Of The future.
What are those chaucess We must say frank
ly that they are most adverse To the success of
measure in Congress to appropriate money
to pay States for doing, what 1t Is their own
interest, as well a. duty TO do Such promo
sifion will not come at favorable moment.
at The end Of war, which will have saddled
the country with untold millions of debt.
For the border slave States, now is the ac-
cepted time and the golden moment II has
come suddenly and will not be Of long durs
tion. II did not come to any other generation
since this Government was formed, and NAV
never come to any future nsrston. II Is not
sufficient In human affairs to be wiss, since
nothing Is more common than to be wise too
late. There ID . tide In events, which must be
taken at the flood, In order to be borne BY II
to prosperous fortunes.
