The Abolition of slavery.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune sends to that journal the fol-
lowing dispatch:-
In justice to all parties, it seems proper to
state the following, which we learn from so
many sources that it can no longer be consid-
cred a state secret. Two or three weeks ago
the president laid before his cabinet procla-
nation of emancipation abolishing slavery
wherever on the LIST of next December, the
rebellion should not be crushed and asked
the opinion of his ministers touching the pro-
priety of issuing it. All but two, secretary
Smith, we believe, being absent, approved.
Secretary Seward and postmaster general
Blair, however, opposed it with all their
might, and the result was that it did not APP
pear. 1t is understood that the subject came
up at more than one cabinet meeting, but that
the two parties continued as at FIRST Messrs.
Seward and Blair being the resolute minority.
The correspondent of the New York World
telegraphs upon the same subject as follows
1t is openly asserted by the emancipation
lists that the long political struggle is drawing
to close, and that the president, overborne
by the pressure brought upon him, will issue
adecree giving freedom to all slaves-and this
before the 10th of September. Messrs. Sum
ner, Chandler, & Co. have been urging him.
night and day, to do this thing. Their labors
have not been confined to the White House.
1t is deemed necessary to convert the more
influential senators of moderate views. For
this reason a dead set has been made at SEN
ator Harris, and others who have the con
tidence of the conservative party? 1t is
said that success is attending these efforts. An
abolitionist myself l wish to see the slaves
freed in a manner and at a time when Their
freedom cannot be urged as a military neces-
sity That great justice should be a free-wIll
Offering, magnanimously rendered. As it is,
must we confess that we cannot, showing
equal self-denial and unity of purpose, whip
the beggary white and black nine millions of
the south? Must we publish an emancipatory
decree-is the deyHier resort Of whipped and
cowardly norths | cannot believe that the
presidents purpose is shaken, his clear fore
slsnt dlmmed. Yet, as have said, the above
assertions are made in the Metropolitan
circles.

THAT PARTY TO ROCKY PoINT, yesterday,
proved indeed a pleasure party" The ar
rangements were most admirably conceived
and planned, and were carried out to the let
ter. In a word, every one was more than
satisfied; and it is unanimously conceded
that the pleasure party" is fairly inaugurated
as an annual institution. 1t was the unani-
nous opinion of all concerned that the thanks
of the party are due to the conductors on the
Providence and Worcester railroad, Capt
Carrot the steamer Chicopee, and Capt. Wins
low of the Rocky Point House, for the high
ly successful and agreeable manner in which
every thing passed off

HE SPIRIT OF SEvENTY-SIX.-A lieutenant
in the 10th regiment wrote to his wife, in this
city, recently, that he applied for leave of alb
sence several times, and had been refused:
but that he was coming home in October if he
had to resign His wife Immediately replied
Don't you do it. Die first" She told
friend of hers, with dewy eyes, that "Char-
ley was all she had on earth She was des-
titute of father, mother, sister, and brother
but ''she had given Charley to God and her
country, and she would not take him back"
If anybody believes that the race has degen-
Grated and patriotism has died out, or that the
days Of giving petticoats for cartridges and
spoons for bullets has passed, let him read this
statement and believe no longer-Haa7fogd

The MASSACHUSETTS FIFTEENTH regiment
celebrated Aug. Sth, at their camp near Har-
rison's Landing, Va, on the anniversary OF
their departure from Worcester. Each COM
pany received through Lieut.. Col. Kimball
$40, which was expended in lemonade, cake,
cheeses, &C. The soldiers thought that they
had made some progress in the art of cookery
during their year of camp life; as they can
now make tolerable yeast, doughnuts and
griddle cakes. The vacancies in the ranks
of the 18th caused by losses in battle and
camp diseases were rapidly filling by the ar
rival of new recruits.

CITY AND COUNTY.

WAR MEETING LAST NIGHT.-There was a
chanics' Hall. last night, and the galleries
were filed with ladies. Hon. j. S. c. Knowl-
ton presided, and speeches were made by Mr..
Knowlton, Rev. Dr. Hill John McCombe, the
colored man jackson, who was formerly a
coachman to JEFF. Davis in Richmond, and
T. w. Higginson. The latter made very
spirited call on the young men to enlist in the
service of their country. The following draft
of petition which is to be circulated in this
vicinity for signatures, was adopted
We, the undersigned, people of the United States,
do solemny call on the president, as the organized
head of the nation Immediately to declare universal
freedom Except for crime) in every state in rebel
lion against the government and TO extend just and
equal protection to all classes of loyaliss, as the
sure, potent, and speedy means to put down the re-
bellion and secure union and peace
The following resolutions, read by Mr.. Nc
Combe, were also adopted;-
l. Resolved That God. in his providence, has
brought this nation to the point where duty and in
terest combine in indicating emancipation as the
only policy through which we secure present
victory and future peace.
@ Resolved, That all timid doubters and trem.
blers in view of the difficulties that lie in path
of duty, may find their answer in the words of the
Lord to Moses, when, with Pharaoh behind them
and the before them, the people murmured
"Whereiore criest thou unto me! Speak unto the
Children of Israel that they go forlCayd,n
g. Resolved, That in view OF the efforts made by
men disloya alike to country and to humanity. TO
force upon the government false policy, it is the
duty OF the people, the of power, mighty and
true, TO meet in every town and city, and proclaim
their lCiH in this matter in tones loud that they
shall be heard and obeyed.
4. Resolved, That authorized draft upon the
patriotism of the friends of the government is both
dstastetul and repugnant TO the American people,
and at the same time believing that the aborer is
worthy of his hire, and more especially while in
defence of our country, most earnestly recon-
mend the city council to offer a BOUNTY OF ONE
HUNDRED DOLLARS TO each able bodied man who
will volunteer TO fill quota of the 900 nine
months men called for by the president Of the Uni
ted States.
The resolution recommending the city coun-
Gil to pay each volunteer under the last call
500 bounty, was enthusiastically cheered
During the evening a choir of ladies and
gentlemen, under the direction of Mr.. COLES.
ter, sang some patriotic songs in very ac-
certable manner, adding very much to the
interest of the occasion.

VOLUNTEER THE next ten days we are
to determine whether draft is to be made in
central Massachusetts. The president called
for the troops to be ready August 10th, but
subsequently enlarged the time to the LIST of
September. Why are rot our companies full
and regiment in camp, disciplining themselves
for the stern duties of the battlefield? The
call is old for MORE MEN. The urgent cry
from the young men who left us a year ago,
is ''come out and help us or we are over
powered" Our brethren are already in
the field. Why stand we here idle? What
is it our young people wish? Is life so
dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at
the price of republic crushed by the slave
oigarchy? Forbid it, Almighty God! In the
name of the patriots of '76, who willingly
gave up all their possessions, and jubilantly
yielded life itself, to found republic of free
men, let us rally to its support! Don't wal
for bounties! Don't wait for draft Blu
