INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE
refer the reader to the correspondence be.
tween President Lincoln and the Border
State men, published in this mornings pa
per. A careful persual of these documents
will give thorough idea of the nature and
magnitude of the emancipation project Of
President Lincoln Nand at the same time
demonstrate the impracticability of that
undertaking.
The style and tone of this correspond.
eOee arc admirable the President evi.
IDENTITY impressed with the feasibility Of
his scheme, urges il most seriously upon
the attention of his hearers: the reply to
his suggestions is equally candid ,mild and
commendable, while it demonstrates the
utter weakness of the Presidents positions.
One statement of this reply to the Presi.
dent is remarkable, which is the aid and
comfort rendered the Southern traitors by
the proceedings Of the Congress.

TRAMPLING ON THE CONSTITUTIONS
The Senate, on Monday, by a vote of
90 against II, passed the bill introduced
some weeks since by Mr.. Sumner, wc
think, to admit Western Virginia to the
rights and privileges of sovereign State.
This act is in direct violation of sec
tion Sd, Article lVth of the Constitution,
which reads as follows:-
"New States may bc admitted by the
Congress into this Union; bat no new
State shall be formed or erected within
the jurisdiction of any other State nor
any State be formed by the junction OF
two or more States, or parts of States,
without the consent OF the Legislatures
of the State concerned, as well as of the
Congress-" .....
In a case so plain no argument is ne
cessary to show that every Senator who
voted for this Western Virginia bill, tram
pied his oath>in the dust.
Do Co0gressmen think that by such
legislation as this they are to restore the
Unione We doubt if single Senator
who voted for this bili has one particle
of hope Of bringing the Southern States
in subsection to the Constitution.

only when measures OF doubtful legality
we're proposed.
But there need be no sacrifice Of party
principles in sustaining the late acts OF
the Administration. The power and pol
icy of indiscriminate emancipation, we
deny; but the Government has undoubted
authority to confscate the property Of
rebels in the seeded States, and SiUts are
property by national and local laws. If il
can be oonfscated, it can bo used the
horses and mules to pull the wagons, and

Gen. VIM. 8. Ross.

Our people were not surprised last week
at the nomination by the Republican State
Convention, of our fellow townsman, Gen.
Ross, as their candidate for Surveyor Gen.
eral. We knew for some months past,
that the Abotitonists had arranged 4,
through the secret league of which Hosea
Carpenter is President, to "rope in" some
fshy Democrat to place on their ticket
along side with full-blown Republican,
and we we're assured by various man@.
uvres that they had fixed upon Gen.
Ross. His nomination, therefore, was but
the completion Of an understood plan, and
consequently surprised nobody. He was
to be the stool.pigeon by which Democratic
voters were to be entrapped, because he
had called himself Democrat.
AS we are credibly informed, he first
started out, when young man, by oppo.
sing Gen. jackson in 1928, and supper
ting Adams. His next step was in ls44
in coaleseence with the w5igs of the Dis
trict as a candidate for Senator in opposi.
ton to the late Andrew Beaumont, the
regular Democratic nominee. While in
the Senate he again illustrated his attach
ment to the Democracy by boiling the
caucus nomination and assisting in the
election of Simon Cameron. Gen. Ross
then subsidized into private life, and pursued
a course politically which gave him the
character, of anything but Democrat
until the rebellion broke out and fine
opening was presented by hollow profess.
ions of 'Union' made by the Abolition
lists (who had control of the government
for just this sort of fshy material. He
was last year nominated by the Republican
convention as candidate for the legisla-
ture, and elected by less than hundred
votes. Although he called himself a
sUnion Democrat he acted with the Re-
public an party through the whole ses.
sion. He voted, among other things, to
stde the voice OF old Luzerne by deny
ing to Messrs. Walsh and Trimmer
their seats, and instalings the two Aboli-
tion candidates, Hall and Russell, whom
the Supreme Court have decided had not
the slightest right there. By this act he
assisted in throwing the last House OF
Representatives into the hands of the Re-
publieans-thus again illustrated his
claim TO the title Of Democrat. In addi.
tion, it is said he also voted against pay.
