We hold, the contrary, that rather than ssciSss
the interests Of ourselves and posteriy In M;
blood-bought Republic, IL would BE- better thss
slaves aud shareholders should sink together into m.
common grave. We value the rights and bv.s -

We have been true to the compact. They have
been false. They confiscated Northern debts and
the Stare. of Southern Union,sts beld by the sams
constitutional tenure. Tue loyal shareholders il
Rebel States will have no cause OF complaint agaas
as They and we alike are subject to the psnh
the burdens and tee law Of war; While that law
takes from them their slaves when pubic necessity
demands it forces US TO the field, and c0mpes us 70
lay down our lives. But We provide for them
what we did not when we emanci?ated our owl
slaves--full compensation to every loyal slavs-
holder.
The Rebels rere our brotkers By compact, and
NOT by blood and when they sever the compact and
scout the relation, neither they, others in their
behalf can assert their former rights under Con.
stitution which on oa'h and in arms they sbjura
That Constitution will stand firm. 1t will protect
tho rights ard property OF every ctizea North aod
South otter as Lsf0re the war but what these shall
be viii depend on what rights aud property may
meantime have been forfeited by treason, or swept
away BY the law of war. Treason has qraliy.d
corrosion which eats even INTO the nisnacie' Of tho
slave and tho South must not complain II Ia OWE

Wat Of the future7 One thing we know. what
ever else may rest in doubt. Whether the temple
reared by our forefathers shall remain In It's strong
and beautiful proportions or whether az tns close Of
this war New.YoIk shall stand solitary and broksa

lie enemy will sink to a grave from which there y
no direction.
w. know, too, that II this Government falt.
falls forever. Let no man delade himself with toe
dream Of two rival Coniederacies. The States, d
not united, will be disbanded. Between the ham

TIE question If Slavery has Tern nrOrn open ~
tcar The responsibility has been cast upon the
Government Of deciding whe lher II will weaken the
public enemy by emancpating those who org
trenches for Northern blood or strengthen them ~
keeping four millions OF men Ia chains. The Gov
ernnenl has announced its decision, and lJt ~
N, masters 10 make their election, before the
old year meets the new. between submission and
emancipation. A rebellion which Ierces Slavery 70
make war on liberty must not complain when lib
ery in its own defense strikes down Slavery.
But what of Slavery IA the States not then ~

long sInce, but for the slave marts In the Gulf
S,utes. which will then have been closed forever.
The Government tenders them full compensation for
their bondmen whenever they choose to accept II.
