seyen times larger than the above, falling
upon the CONSUMERS Of the articles respect
iyelY. It is to be observed, also that even il
the rebel States pay all that they are required
to under the bill, the great bulk Of the burden
falls upon the loyal citizens.
Senator CoYan'6 speech AGAINST the confls
cation bill very nearly exllausts that side Of
tie subject. It will not do to snecr at it., or
endeayor to whistle its author down tic wind.
It Was very able and forcible pro-ssavezy
document. Mr.. Cowan has already achieved
distinction rs Il debatcr second to 10 man
who las occupied a seat in the Senate Of late
years, and as champion Of slayery second to
none from the Northern States. What Ae
cannot say against contscatlon, nobody else
need Try to say. The conclusion Of his speech
marred an otherwise effective argument. It
is too bald and palpablc au uutruth
to say that the emancipation Of the
blacks would be taking them from
voluntary sevitude and forcing upon
them involuntary freedom! It is n1ournfuI
| TUNED into such dctestable channels, the more
| especially when ne find his abundant wits
| united with a bo1dness which nothing can
| 1aunt. When he argued for the retention Of
Bright il tlie Senate, he admitted that the
expulsion Of the n.isereant, and when he
mode his mastery speech against the Treasury
| note hill, le said tltat though all the world
wanted ii passed, he should vote agoiust it,
"becuuer tho whole world couldn't make i lie
| tluc.''
| The special message Of the President on the
| subject Of emancipation, read half m hour
t ago to the House, has excited the warm hopes
Of Lis fiicnds, and Of none more than myself:
it is considered very Important movement
| in the right direction. The fact that no s1arc~
holding States, not even Western Virginia,
hare shown disposition to co operate iii any
schtnle Of emancipation all tie repre-
| senfatiyes Of those States on the floor
Of Congress, [exccpt Andy Joh7ison,) h::Tc
been growing more and more pro oslavcry ever
since the beginning Of tho session that tue
rose-colored accounts Of loyalty in Nashville
and other parts Tennessee have already turn

OF war, is still struggling yiciou5ly though

| These things lead to the belief that Mr.. Lin
ccl1f 11Ss :at list determined to tender peacca
BIZ md friendly emanclpation to the s1aye
holders if they will isssTe it, and forcib1a eman
