Confscation of Slaves.

A little IN IRE than week ago We we're COM
PEELED, much to our chagrin, to record the re-
lection 10y the House of the bill confscating the
slaves of rebels, by a vote of "a to II. A mo-
tion WAS made to reconsider at the time, and we
are now able to inform our readers that that
motion has prevailed by the very decided ma
jority of ~, "a voting to reconsider, and Is
voting against a reconsideration. Nearly every
Republican put himself right on the record. A
substitute was then offered for the bill, and the
matter referred 10 the select com nitlee on the
subject of contiscation who will report bill
which will secure majority, and thus be sure
to become n law. Let us take courage to hope
that those - waiting for party have not yet
debauched the minds OF majority of Congress,
and that the great work of freeing the Nation
from the wasting evil of Slavery is marching on
surely to its consummaton.

Leniency not the Treatment

The correspondent of the New York Times
from the valley of the SHENANDOAH who is &C
companyng our troops in their reoccupation of
that portion of Virginia, evidently has seen
some of the effects of the mild policy in the
treatment of rebels, and he thus forcibly gives
his opinion
One thing, however, both citizens and soldiers
do insist upon, and that 49, that us the army ad-
vances again to reoccupy the lost ground one
halt of 1t shall not be kept guarding the property
OF notorious rebels, while the very rebels whose
property they guard are engaged IN cutting the
throats and destroying the property of Union
men. They feel that the more lenly ls shown
to the rebels the more bold and arrogant they
become that until they are made to utfcr from
loss of property they have deserted to prowl
about and destroy the property of others, they
will continue as they have done heretofore. to
abuse the Union men among them as extensively
and savagely as ever This YOU may depend
upon as the unanimous feeling of the friends of
the National Government throughout the entire
valley. And | think it deserves the attention
of those who dictate to Commanding Generals,
all the more from the fact that | have authority
Tor saying that it is the openly and ferventy ex-
pressed belief Of the entire army The policy
OF considering rebels our brethren and treating
them as such, will not do-they must be con-
sidertd the children of the Government, and as
they have not listened to the paternal admo-
milton, the Divine maxim, that he who spar
eth the rod spOleth the child, must be applied
to them. In short, the unanimous sentiment Is
that as we love them, and they continue in their
wicked ways, they must be chaslcned, and that
severely, too.

From the Christian Messenger.
The Curse of Slavery.

We are inclined to tn ink that the whites
at the South, suffer more from slavery, than
the blacks. The whole system is fearful
blight on the morals OF all classes brought
under its influence. 1t would seem that the
spirit of pure Christianity could have 10
fellowship with slavery. Parson BrownIow
gives some fearful pictures of the pro- slavery
Christianity of the South. The Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, is emphatically a
pro-savery Church, and this led them to
sever their connection with the Northern Dor.
ton OF the Church, and we should Judge the
suppression Of the rebellion would be likely
to use up the Church to the same extent
that it does Slavery. No one can read of
the gross immoraliies Of sou bern clerical
rebels, and not be impressed with the idea
that the present surplus in the ministry at
the North, is designed by Providence to sup
ply vacant fields which will soon be found at
the South, asking Tor purer hands to break to
them the bread of life BlownIow. in one Of
his recent speeches thus refers to the state of
religion at the South
This rebelion-where, in Gods name,
should be begin with its rreligioD? Itbepan
with perjury and stealing. They were going

4 State Convention.
Y L ? y Y
June 5, 1862

The call Tor State Convention, which we
Germs, i'll answer we'll enough. 1t Is made,
however, by the Republican State Committee,
and 50 is to be understood, we suppose, to be sub
stantialy Republican call and the Convention
to be Repu blican Convention The trouble with
all such generaIites is that they interpreted
20 suit the peculiar views Of individuals of wide
ly different political notions, and frequently
bring together men who cannot act tremendously
in the same harness. The New York Herald
for instance, preteuds to enthusiastically sup
port the policy of President Lincoln, and is yet
continually making war upon tue great meas
ures that have been passed by Congress and
have received the Executive sanction. The
proper way, however. to get along with ndvd-
uals Of the Herald style of politics, who might
3eel at liberty to come into State Convention
under tins call, is to pass some specific resolu-
tions in the Convention that shall commit the
organization to some definite line of policy.
We ought not, in ConVcntion, to content our
selves with Bell-Everett style OF platform that
means anything or nothing. Vermonters have
specific opinions and beliefs, and should not
hesitate to express them. And all defects, am
5iguities, or vagueness in the call can be rene
died easily enough, if the earnest Republicans
will only turn out, as they should, to the Con-
gention.
The present Governor, and Treasurer, will be
genomluated as "a matter Of coarse, and we hope
the Lieut.. Governor also. 1t is no disparagc-
neut to the rest Of the ticket to say that MIR.
Underwood has performed the duties o! his
Office as acceptable to the people of the State as
either the Governor or Treasurer. He is one Of
the best and most accurate presiding officers
that has ever occupied the chair in the Senate,
and as an executive officer has been of much SER
vice to the State during his term of office. We
move the denomination OF the ticket entire.

WERE THE VERMONT Troops IN THE RECENT
Action NEAR RICHMOND ?-I.eut. Spalding
writes in private letter, dated the 3lst OF May,
that at 10 o'clock that night, Saturday. the
Vermont troops had been ordered forward and
to be ready to take part in the action of Sun
day. We notice similar statement in the cor
respondence of the New York World We
have, however. seen no statements in any Of the
reports of the Sundays fight that the Vermont
troops participated in it. From this we are led
to conclude that the fight did not become 30
general Sunday as was anticipated Saturday,
and that the order 10 Brooks brigade Saturday
was either countermanued, or the brigade was
assigned position which did not bring it into
the engagement.
