HOW 10 Make Peace Permanent.

Raising above faction. and looking with
no partizap bias, the enlightened Judg-
ment of the nation is emphatic for strlk-
ing down the rebellion, and maintaining
the Union in its integrity. against any
and ALI enemies. That the President has
steady eve to such consumation we
are assured from his messages, and in
deed from all his official acts. 1t is then
fair touchstone OF fealty to the Repub-
lie. in this its hour of trial, to give cor
dial support 10 the Administration. II Is
an important question, not only how we
shall overthrow the rebellion, but how we
shall preserve the peace of the country
when the rebels shall have been subjuga-
ted 10 lawful authority. To US there ap-
pears but one way, and that plain one

loyal, to make freedom as broad as our

A vigorous effort is to be made to inau-
surate the colonization of Florida on
these principles, and the measure has
the sanction of a large majority OF both
Houses of Congress. Mr.. Thayer says
that if he can be authorized TO colonize
that State with loyal citizens of the North
West, he WILL in ninety days from the
time he lands in.Florida, relieve the Coy

in possession of large amount OF cotton

of the immediate advantages which are
expected to result from the carrying cut
of this scheme, and alone offer strong
arguments why it should be attempted.

Drawing Ruin on Their own i esas.


The Nashville U,iisH remarks on the
rashness of the rebel slave owners in Ten
nessee, Whoare hurrying their slaves South
into Alabama. for fear of the Proclama-
ton. To the comments OF the tHiOa 1t
may be added that these infatuated slave
holders are carrying their negro property
into States sure to be brought under the
operation of the Emancipation Procla-
nation: .l.
.sWhat will they do with their slaves
when they get them South There Is no
work for them to do, no cotton or tobacco
to raise, and nothing for them to eat. 1t
does not seem to us that to collect hun
dreds of thousands of restless, excited
negroes together, is exactly the best meth
cd of securing and strengthening the di-
vine institution of slavery. which is sane
| toned by the Lords Prayer. and the Ser
mon on the Mount If we wanted TO stir
up mischief, insubordination, and the dey-
| il generally, in the cotton States, NE
should advise them to do just as they are
doing. Let them pile up their negroes,
.our deep, over Mississippi and Alabama,
until those States look like the deck of q
SLAYER. and beyond all doubt we shall
speedily witness an irrepressible conflict
compared with all other conflicts will
appear tame and spiritless. Who would
have believed twelve months ago
that during bloody civil war, the rebel
slave-owners, who have always dreadedfn'
surrections among their slaves, even when
they were separated from each other on
isolated plantations, would, at the most
dangerous period of the war, mass the
slaves in one formidable body, and thu,
render them immeasurably more powerful
