Discussed at the Next SessiOn VI
Congress. -s,s...~
The New York Tim@, which has become
fierce radical Abolition organ, referring to the
events that may transpire during the next Ses-
s.on of Congress, says: "one thing, as least
Ia certain, the next session of Congress VIII
witness one Of the most Amazing transactions
ever recorded in history--she instant liberation
by edict of war of over three millions OF slaves.
And ,he liberation of these" the Times adds.
"wiIl incidentally end not very remotely draw
with ikathe enfranchisement OF one million
more." 80
aThe ediCt OF war" here referred to, is the
proclamation .hich the Radicals are determin'
ed the President shall Issue on or about tho fifst
of January next, in furtheIance OF his piocla-
nation of the 22d Of September last This he
must issue, or they will make war upon him
sligma:ize him ss coward, inefficient and un'
faithful to his pledges. They will compel him
TO resign, or failing In this, will attempt to un-
seat him by fraud or force. They have him,
os least they feel quite sure, that they have
him, in their power, and they mean to use him
to effect their purposes
The Times and other radical journals, feel
ing conAdent that the President will continue
&c yield TO the "pressure," to which he so re
Iuciantly succumbed in September, assure th
world that that wonderful edict will be promul
gated st the beginning Of the New Year, which
with the potency Of mighty enchanter's "Pres
to! Changeg" Is to transform, in the twinklinl
Of an eye, three millions Of ignorant negro
slaves into enlightened freemen, and in very
shcrt lime, work the same miracle In The case
of one million more, Three Millions Of Ne
groes to be set Free q. New Years, and One
Million more probably before Spring! -Four
Millions Of freshly made Free Negroes, and
all made so by simple paper order from
ABRAHAM LINCOLN! Surely, the New Year will
bring In not merely the dawn. but the full blaze
Of the ng:promised and long. fought for ADOLF
zion and Negro Millennium!
The Times regards this contamination as the
climax or crown Of "the ware and rumors of
wars-the distress and perplexity among the
people"-and with the profane perversion Of
Sacred Writ, characteristic of Abolition edi.
tors and preachers. professes to see in IL ful-
Hllment Of the prophecy-"a nation shall be
born In day" =.
Having Informed she American people and
'lhe rest of mankind" what the President Is to
achieve during the coming session Of Congress,
the Times proceeds to unfold what will be the
great, In fact, the a,le business Of Congress t.
self. II will not be to maintain the Constitu-
ton, restore the Union, prevent foreign inter
yention, and end the war as speedily ss posi-
ble-no, not these inferior and triHipg topics,
but the Negro will claim the chief attention |
Of the grave Soions in our National Lsgisls
tufe. ---......-
Not only must Congress- enact laws in aid
Of the Presidents Abolition edicts, but the |
disposition of the four millions of freed negroes,
the Times says, "will be one of the chief sub.
jects Of investigation and decision at the ensu.
ing session Of Congress" It will be found, &C
cording to the Times. and no doubt it Ia right
on this point, subject very fruitful of discus
sion, but q most knotty and perplexing one.
''What settlement" the Times asks, ''shall be
made Of the ignorant and penniless millions 90
soon 70 bs thrown upon Freedom, - or in other
words, upon the government and the people2
Il declares that colonization In foreign coun-
tries Is simply absurd. So the Radicals gener.
ally allege. Bat the Iimss says: "In the
South the negroes must have their homes. But
In what parts Of the South-under what politi-
cal system-in what relation to the whites,
and In what relation to the State and National
Goyernments7"
Well may the Tines add, as IL does-"T These
are problems difficult to solve"-involving 90 I
hey do complete and entire revolution and
,hange In the social and political organization
II the South. The Times does not expect Con-
yress az the next session to decide any of these
,ues.ions. at will, )" to quote the Times again,
'inaueufats she debates on these great social
md political questions" and that will doubtlsss
sssp u busy until the 4.h Of March whel, 70
he great relief Of the country no doubt, iswill
70 out Of existence. But from the first Mon.
10y Of December until that time, its great
'usiness win be to begin, not to finish any of
hese new and interminable discussions Of and

os hope Something better Of the new Congress-
