PORTLAND, ME-, TUESDAY MORNING,

in the Northern and Western states are impa-
tiently waiting the signal for military move
ment to plant their homes in the best territory
of this continent, and bring it back to the
Union as loyal states. So far from the South
ern states being invincible, no enemy was ev-
er so vulnerable, if the means at hand are en-
ployed against them. If your proposition for
compensated emancipation, and voluntary
return to loyalty, be blindly rejected, still the
proper application of the means at command
of the government cannot fail to accomplish
the suppression of the rebellion, and restora-
ton of those peaceful relations which were
designed to be established forever on this con-
tinent by the union of the states.
