ed with the presidents construction Of the conte-
cation law. an exposition Of his views may be
found 70 IN ms message to Congress upon it, and in
was under consideration In the Senate. and more
recently at Quincy. In this State-Sscession Times
The morning secession print has asserted
q score Of times that the Presidents views
on confscation were identical with BIr.
Browning, but each time it asserted an un-
truth Browning denies the power of
Congress to enact Law confscating the
property Of rebels. The President holds
exactly the contrary opinion He
believes that Congress has the con-
stitulional right 10 pass such Law, and
tcsti6cd to the sincerity Of his belief BY
signing The confscation bill which Brown
ing voted against. The President differed
with some Senators as to how long rea
estate Of rebels could be condscated-
holding that only the life estate could be
taken. Congress passed joint resolution
constituting the Law in accordance with
this view, and the President sfgncd the
confscation bill, making it the law Of the
lard. The opinions Of the President on
the question Of confscation correspond
with those Of the loyal masses Of the fre(
States. The opinions Of Alr. Browning

A DIVISION ImpRAcTICAELE,


The Republic cannot exist half free and
1af slave. Neither can it be divided into
two nations, the one tolcrating slavery and
the other prohibiting it, But Suppose VIC
admit the possibility Of killing the Union
and Of bringing half Off to life again
~iu that restore pcace2 Nothing more
than restoration Of peace is claimed for it,
Let US imagine, if VIC can, restoration Of
amity without any atonemeut on the part
of the rebel States stolen property quietly
given up, the murder Of Northern men
passed over in silence, the devastations Of
war paid By the North, the city Of Wash
ineton surrendered, the lower Mississippi
taken from us, q Gordon of slave States
placed between us and Mexico-let us sup
pose the North willing to be good natured
and accept peace On such terms, then
whatr b river and land line i
to divide the two nations. On
one side is freedom and free iustitu.
tions; on the other, bondage and iron des
potism. The laborer Of the border hates
the system which places lis sweat and
toll on a level with the OK and the ass
He scorns decree Of social and po1itica
arrangement which makes him mer
beast Of burden, to be ted and clothed as
horse is stabbed and foddered, and to yielt
the fruit Of his skill aud muscle to tn
recompense Of bruises and blows. Th
lord Of the plantation gives back in hat
what goes to him in animosity. The bor,

by the cxtradilion Of an infamous IL r, the
citizen gives him good cheer or God speed.
Then comes the resentment AMI the re-
prlsal. Restitution is refused, and raid
begins a fired barn OF burning grain
stack is to reta1itate for the ofense
Of food and cold water to the
travis fugitive. Soon follows bloodshed
and mutual outrage. An armel
police patrols the border line, lacking
nothing of standing solliery except
the capriceof language. Then for
tresses are built on bluffs, and batteries
with sur]y cannon guard the peace Of the
people from incursion and robbery: What
there is Of private defense and individual
revenge soon passes into legislation, and
We have Introduction and embargo, confs-
cation and sequestration. The mouth Of
the Mississippi is closed, aud open war
concludes what irritation, disturbance, and
mutual encroachment began. Afewyesrs
at the outside, would fad the two countries
engaged in furious war aggravated by
the fact that both would have treaty st1pu
lations with foreign powers, and Europe
would be involved in the contest. Oul
territory might in the end bccomc the com
mon fighting ground for the armies o
Christendom.

e The secession organ in this city has
broken ground against the confscation law.
It 1esitated for some time before muster
ing the requisite courage to assail it. But
in obedience to its secession instincts aud
the commands Of the KG.C's has opened
a fire-in-thc rear on the law. It wants
the law repealed and in the meantime not
enforced It's opposed to confscating the
property Of its rebel friends and opposed to
the army foraging On the enemy. Well,
We accept the issue on the repeal Of the
con6scation Act, and propose TO argue the
question before the people, who viii render
their verdict at the polls, when they elect
members Of Congress. We contend fo1
the interests Of the Union and the Union

stearner <.No. 2o0.,s
According to the following statement, fur
Ei=htd ty the London correspondent Of tn.
Dublin Etening Mai, the new rebel steamer
g No. 22!!n, which has just gi7en the Tu.ca-
rora the slip, is an iroo-clsd and very for
ni1a. IL Vessel:
''She can steam from sixteen to eighteen
kDots an hour; is perfectly seaworthy, for all
practical purposes invul erab1e, and Will prove
to any vessel she may encounter as for1iiable
an antagonist as our own Warrior, the boast
Of the British Eayy. This Is the No. 800 as
to whose whereabouts federal cruisers have
with rcsson betrayed such anxiety. It had
: beeu known for some time that large and
powerful iron vessel Was constructing ut the
deck5ard Of AIessrs. Laird, Birkenlead but
the day at that estaslishmsnt that no one
troubled his head much about this new pro-
ducticn, or cared to remark the great thick
pees Of the plates which were being used. At
the very last moment the federal authorities
seem to have had their suspicion aroused, for
tie TuEcorora was dispatched to keep watch
in the neighborhood Of the dock where she
lay, and the southern coast Of Ireland was also
| strictly watched. No 200,' nneanwhie, ap.

in durance vile by the Tosearora, she quist!5
landed her passengers, avoiding Cork, Water
ford, etc, in the n n-ighhorhood Of which she
might have heard of something not at all to bel
advantage. tNo. 29v' steamed round by Lon

west coast Of Ircland by the steamer which

Gov. Letcher, Of Virginia, has Issued the
following proclamation, congening the Legis-

Whereas, It is represented BY many citizens
Of this State that it is impossible to obtaiu
supplies Of the necessary article Of salt, ez-
cept at fabulous prices, and even then not in
sufbcient quantities to supply the demand,

Aid whereas, The importation of foreign
salt has been prevented By the blockade OF
