AIEE NOU ANsWI.NEDI

Is our Tribune noighbor unconditional.
" Tor Union, or does he agree with the
Radicals who desire no Union unless slu-
very is wiped out,---A dpertiSer.
We are for the Union eHphaiiealiy and
uneonditionaliy, without any reservation
or equlyocation, We urc opposed to of.
foring any terms 10 traitors, except un-
conditional and absolute surrender 10 the
Federal authority. We are for crushing
out this monstrous rebellion, in the
spcedicst manner possible aud at any
sacrifice Of blood aud treasure, We would
be glad and we hope soon to see slavery
abolished, but we do no, make this COM
dl,ion of our loyalty. Such democrats as
the editor of the A dpsriissr no make sla.
very condition Of their loyalty, for they
show, by acts II not by words, that they
will "lst he Union slide" unless slavery
is preserved intact, They thus place
slavery paramount to the Union. IL this
is loyalty,wc don't know what treason is,
We are for preserving tho Union, slavery
or NO sldpery, il one or the other must fall
we say let slavery go down forever aaC
cup with the starry banner of the free"
We were for the Union, when the A2
pertiSer was against it--when il iustiie,
all the acts OF the South and opposed co
ercion. II now processes TO be Union
but covortly does all II can 20 iniure th'
Government and dcnounees all true loya
men as d5oliiionisis.

The proposition oftho President asking
Congress 10 offer pecuninary aid TO any
state that may initiate the adjustment ol
slavery within lie limits, strikes a respon.
siyc chord in tho popular heart. II 10 90
just, fair aud moderate in tone that no one
can take offence at it. While II contains
an earnest appeal to the border slay,
states to initiate gradual emancipation az
the best guaranty for the future and high
ly promotive Of their own interests, Il
loavos il to their own FREQ choice to de-
termine and disnbuscs their minds Of the
idea that the Government has any desire
TO interfere with their rights. IL cannot
be objected to by pro-sluyery men, be-
cause thore is nothing compulsory or
threatening about tit is matter for
themselves to determine. 1t even propo-
eos that the Government like m indugent
parent, shall extend 10 them pecuniury
aid, whenever thoy shall begin the work,
aud compensate them for any loss, public
or private, which they may suffer in CON
sequence.
On tho other hand, rnti-sluvery mon
hail il as the daydawn Of new cra-tho
roinbow Of promise. They see in il a
pledge that the Government 10 not inscn.
siblc 20 the causes which have produced
this rebellion aud that they nro bound 10
use all proper means to put slavery in a
course Of groduul extinction, 30 that its
balciul power may not again encircle
us in its treacherous toils. The Prcsi-
dent recognizes tho fact that this Gov
eminent was made for WHITE MEN
aud that the curse Of slavery shall speed
lily DO wiped out, lie shows the border
states that their own and the country's
interests lio in tho direction he has point
ed out, and warns them of the conscquon-
ces that may ensuc ir they do not choose
10 follow it, Tho President has struck
the golden mean. Already the propo-
sitiun receives favor In the Border States
aud the more il is discussed, tho more its
wisdom will be apparent
We are surprised that Hon. w. 2. No
BLE, who represents FREQ constituency,
should vote against such proposition,
thus showing that he is for slave ~ pcrse
aud opposed to free ohiie labor.

TuE ISSUE.

The Advertiser is for making this war
a war for the protection of slavery-ior
running down and returning fugitive mig
gers and giving to rebel slayeholders
more security than Union men enjoy
His motto Is "Slapery and URioa, or ne
URion."
We cay the Union must ts Prsssrp;S-lc,
slavery take care Of Itself, We advocate
the cause Of whiis men and free white
labor. This continent belongs to the
white man and he should have it.
The question is "URioN teih slGrery,'
or "UaeoNdiiioaal Upioa." Let il 60 be-
fore the people. Let us SEQ how many
men in free Ohio, in the county Of Sene-
ca, prefer slavery TO the Unlon.

The readers of Dickens are aware that
the Eden" in which Mark Taplcy alter.
natoly shook with ngue and "camo out
jolly" was a portraiture of Cairo. That il
has not improved much since Dickens
visit, the following 10 the Chicago Tri.
bunc will show:
The servilo character Of Cairo and its
surroundings is not fiction. Strolling up
the levce, the other day, observed an en-
closure Of some live or six acres, filled
with horses. These were rejected Gov
ernmcnt horses, an old decrepid, broken
down collection of jaded hacks, some
lying down in the mud unable TO rise, and
some standing because they could not lie
down; all with dropping heads, fluted
sides, weak, shaking knees; living advcr-
tiscments ofhay and grain wanted with.
IN; The sport of every contemptuous and
ill-iavored mule that passes by. One
wonders what these equine ghosts are
thinking about Hs the wind whistles
through their ribs; whether they snufrthe
battle alar of and envy their more fortu-
nate companions, or like truc philosophers
bear their condition Of life with edua-
nimi,y, and have calmly made up then
minds to die, cv0n In Cairo. Old dilapi.
dated steamers crowd the loyee with bro.
ken smoke-stacks, rusty steam pipes and
bucketless wheels; all going to pieces
mourntul in their decay and wretchcd in
their rottcnness. There are old scows
Hat boats, gunboats, sloops and coppol
sloops, rats, and portable houses on
iioats, once tho yoy0gers of the rivers
now dssolving aud resolving into their
original elements, aud floating down ia
Dixie, unawed by reports of submarine
batteries, torpedoes, pots Of shell, and
such other pleasant contrivanccs orrebeI
wrath with which rumor freights the bot.
tom of the Mississippi.
There are old houses propped up below
and diagonally, as il they had stripped ur
their sills 10 keep their skirts dry; swine,
rusty with age, lying perda in the mud;
old barrels, boxes, stove pipes, wagon
wheels and cheese boxes scattered here
and there, old bridges tottering over
sloughs; old, worn out, hesottcd men
hanging round saloons and billiard rooms.
Added TO these, the town filled with sick
wounded wearied and ioot-sore soldiers
hurrying upon furlcugh TO The home:
where they may obtain tho rest they Sc
badly need, aud you leave Cairo tired
out,

More rron-cInd steamers.

The work upon the second on.plated
steamer, at Groonpoint, is pushed, the
National Intelligencer says, with the ut
most speed, day and night, aud it is hoped
that she will be ready for soa during the
present month. Tho vessel will be much
larger than the Monitor, will carry sigh-
teen guns Of the largest ca libsr, and will
be practically invulncroble. II is conf
IDENTITY believed that she will be the fastest
Of this slo~ species Of war vessels ever
constructed. The third iron-clad steamer
provided for in the original appropriation
is N process OF construction ut Philadel-
phia. The news Of what the Confeder-
atss are doing in the same linz Of business
will doubtless lead to the hurrying Of the
work upon this steamer, 40 as to ensure
her completion as soon as possible.

tioa to President Lincoln and his Admin

oppressed by the one, and encouraged

this Is their purpose, Indeed, all their
interests are against such fraterniza'

on Monday and Tuesday, and one from
which they can not soon recover, is,
suggest, entirely beyond controversy.
