The most significant. comprehensive and mouA,l.

On Saturday last the member. of Congress from
the several border slave States. with few excep

tions called upon the President to persuade him, il
possible, to apply a veto to the Contiscation bill
which passed through its last stage Of CONGRESSIONAL
action on Saturday morning and that the Pres

peal to them in behalf of his well known policy Of

ton system in each of the border slave States. In
his original and in more recent proclamation on
the subject, President Lincoln has made known 20
the country how deeply he is impressed with the

In THIS matter the paramount idea of the Pres

ration Of the people of the border slave States from
the pro slavery Southern Confederacy politicians
and people of the cotton States. He thinks that if

to the gradual abolition of siayery. proposed
by the late resolution of Congress, the cotton

the dangers of a long and wasting war, which ciaI
