THR PRRsIDENT,s MKssAGE OF
FRREDOm IN TIKI SENATE.

Mr. Salisbury of Delaware yesterday aroused
himself from the comatose condition which he
usually and wisely maintains to make dss-
perate onslaught on the Presidents proposal
that pecupiary aid be profered to those States
which shall see fit, thus aided, to rid them.
selves of Slavery 1t was not enough for Mr..
8. to question the constitutonality, the policy,
and tho tmeliness of the Presidents plan; he
saw fit 10 insnuate distrust Of tho Presidents
integrity in proposing it. 1t was an inter
ference with tho subject of Slavery in the
States" 80 The object of this bill is to re-
new and intensity the agitation Of the Slsv.
" cry question 10 tho Border States, and TO
raise an Abolition party there &c, &c.
These We admit, are perfectly satisfactory
reasons for the Senator'S opposition to the
Presidents project Mr.. Sauhbury is a small
man in q high position, for which he is wholly
indebted TO Slavery. Delaware used to DO a
decidedly Wing State. and Sussex County ICON
tanning nearly all ts slave) was its Wing
stronghold; Slavery agitation q" scat tho Sussex
shareholders and their satellites over TO Democ-
racy, made that Democratic county. and
thus sent Boyard and Salisbury TO represent
the State in the Senate. Just look OF these
figures:

Public injustice has been done to OOmmsaist
Palmer, OF the Navy, who was lately. Of biz
own request, called home from the command
of the soop-of.war IroquOis, to which. by
order OF March IL, the Secretary Of tho Navy
has just restored him. The complaint against
Commander Palmer was that he had failed 10
use proper diligence to capture tho Rebel
steamer Sumter ut Martinique. In order to
settle the question, he demanded Coar. Of
Inquiry: but the present eSigeacies Of the
service not allowing such court to DO called.
the Investigation was referred to the Naval
Retiring Board, in session at the Brookyu
Nayy-Yard, and composed Of Commodore
Stringbam. Capt. Eugle. Lieut.. Stevens, sad
two medical officers. This Board, after
examination OF the facts, uaauiJnoaIg
and eatirely acquit Commander Palmer. and
on their report he has been again ordered 70
tuhe command Of his ship. We rejoice
record this complete yindicatiou Of the char
acter OF gallant officer and gentleman.

Mig majority. ,VSJ Den, NsoitI''.'oNo
Delaware had in 1860 population Of l22I6
free persoDs aud l,79S sayes--not one slave to
every sixty free. by every analogy, she should
have abolished Slavery some years sipce, for
the Immediate enhancement ia tho yhlue oi her
lands would more than make good the market
value Of her slaves. She has failed to do this
simply because her Democratic politician, dud
in Slavery an elemout of political strength.
Sussex, the old Federal and Wing stronghold,
owns I,34i of the i,735 slaves, and this, in
view of the practical identity OF Democracy
and Slavery, has carried her over to the Dem
ocrstic side, dragging the state along with her.
This fully accounts for Mr. Saulsburys oppos-
ton to the Presidents recommendation; but
how can he advance such suicidal reason, for
bic course Hear him
TLs State Of Delaware will ls,sr accept Of tie bill but
the p-opl, Of that State . IN before Zoe psoP-
upon IT, ard there viii not sre'ss Of the Republican paJ

THAT Is to say: The Presidents proposition
will next Fall elect Delaware Legislature
which will overwhelmingly return Mr. Bay ard
to tho Senate aud do the liko good turn two
years hence ior Mr.. Salisbury. And is that
the prospect which 40 inHames the ire Of the
Senator
But "not vsstge of tho Republican party
&" will be lett there" We think that quite
probable. BY Ear the highest vote ever pollsd
Nv the Republicans Of Delaware WAS that for
Mr. Lincoln-3, Slj out of total Of 1903,
OF less than one-fourth of the aggregate. II
as we trust-tbs Presidents proposition, in
doraed BY Congress, divides Delaware between
It's indor,ers aud its opponents, tho former sup
porting generally the Administration and the
War for tho Union. the latter led Ivy the emf
nent Senator who hoppsaed to be at JEFF. Da-
vs's capital just after the taking Of Fort Sum
ter, and who certainly wss not arrested by
JEFF. NJ iniuichl or dangerous to the Conlod-
eracy and who threatened to resign if his con-
siituents upheld the odiOuS doctrine Of " coer-
cion," but who has Mt yet seen tit to redeem
that promise-why thea the Republican
party Of Delaware will disappear Of course,
being absorbed in the far larger aud stronger
array that stands for the Union. the Constitu-
ton, and tie laws. We beg the Republicans
Of Delaware to realize Mr.. Ssul.bury's painful
huticipations. There must be majority Of the
voters Of that State who mean to live and die
in the Union framed by Washington aud Mad
ison, Franklin and Hamilton, Roger Sherman
aud Elbridge Gerry. They must know BY this
time that the leaders of the Delaware Democ-
racy are thoroughly though skuIkingly dsloyn;
the refusal OF their Legislature to levy the
Direct tax imposed By Congress last Summer
would alone demonstrate it. May va not hope,

Nsvy-Nard, Brooklyn, stating that the Rebel
steam battery uerrimac had left Norfolk, and
was seem from our vessels IN Hampton Roads.
Just off Craney Island. We learn that the r.

which have been made for her reception, that

The Gaze OF Officer CoDrady, who ,hot the

the Coroncrs Jury 80 complacently put IT,.
Nor is il likely 20 do so, since the action OF
the friend. of the deceased has led lie officer
to surrender himself for trial. We cannot
agree with the Jury that this mans LIE Was
taken by The officer lin the discharge Of his

quite able to take his prisoner to the station

and ii bis authority was resstod, he could
