munlties wherein slaves sre numefous as com

To the lsboring white man especially, OF The
Border States, the change will result In sdvan-
tdgGs and blessings innumerable. His children
will almost immediately reap the advantages Of
the system Of universal free education tina, pre-
walls in all the non slsveh gliding States, az well
| as Of the greater range of choice Of future en-
ployment for them, and the opportunities Of be-
coming better skilled In the employment chosen,
resulting from the greater liberalization Of labor,
and greater general skill In Il, which will pre-
vail everywhere in such States when they cease to
be communities wherein the supposed interests
of slavery are permitted TO direct the public
policy In everything up to the breaking out Of
the rebellion throughout almost the entire South.
His children viii then enjoy well nigh all the ad-
vantages In the race Of life, well as all the OPP
portunities enjoyed by those of his neighbors
who may be mIllionaifes.
We might pursue this line of argument ud
| IN sitEm showing beyond question that In Pc
cuniary point of view, as well as socially and
Otherwise, no white man in the border slave
holding States, rich or poor, In high position or
in humble life, can fall to be Immensely ad-
vantaged in the end by the displacement Of slave
with white labor, around him. Lack Of space,
however, forbids us the undertaking.
Standing opposed to the wise and patriotic
policy recommended by the President are two
others, each insisted on by its peculiar friends,
and, in cur Judgment, alike unsafe and imprac-
tcable. Viz the policy Of the sbOlitlonists; aud
that Of the effort TO blow life into the dead carcass
OF the late democratic party.
What the policy OF the abolitionists means, 10
| being realized in the rapid increase of demands
| on the National Treasury 10 support and extend
| the scheme of gathering the negroes OF the South
into huge and numerous boarding schools, there
70 be fed clothed and educated at the cost OF the
loyal white taxpayers, already burdened almost
pas; Endurance TO meet the legitimate expenses of
the war. Although in Its infancy, 1t will be safe
| 10 say that this policy has already added mil
lions millions to the taxes necessary to be paid
| by nortbern white labor nominally on account OF
the wa.
| Every man OF observation must now compre-
bend that, IL II sto have longer sway, il prOIG-
ises 10 make the white people Of the land merely
The providers Of board clothing and education
for the negIOss Of the South, free OF cost result
that few at present over 7esous anti -slavery sym.
pathizers will endorse an hour after their very
first settlement with The tax gatherer soon to pay
them his first visit on account OF the war. IL IL
also the policy Of filling tue North, We'll As the
negro consumers and non- producers, IN place of
keeping in the South, as formerly, four millions
Of laboTers, on every dollar Of whose productions
northern white labor and capital annually drew
as large an aggregate dividend as was drawn by
the capital actually working II for lis own profit.
4. Is further the policy CT forcing white and black
social and industrial equality upon all, that must
inevitably end In bloodshed amounting to war
Of races that will nate the race for whose
benefit II is so unwisely sough to be entailed
the country.
On the other hand, the policy especially antag-
onistiC to that, promises no better results. AS
laid down In the late address Cf certain opposi-
ton msmbe of Congress, 1t amounts TO an efort
TO induce the country 10 ain place the direction
of pubic affairs in the hands Of the old Demo-
cratic party leaders Late Democratic party lead
ers only, made the current WI ar, taking advantage
OF the opportunity to that end accorded to them
by the sboiitionists Of Congress, Greeley, Phil
lips, Garrison & Co who afforded them the lever
with which alone they Were able, for the time
being, TO work the southern popular mind OF Its
balance into rank treachery to the best Govern
ment for The free and intelligent citizen that ever
existed. Such proposition amounts simply to
a recommendation to try the expedienf Of " curing
the bite, with the hair Of the dog''-to nothing
more nothing less
We advocate prompt action on the part OF the
border slave holding States upon the Presidents
emancipation recommendation, because sincerely
believing that, when the border States are rid OF
slavery, and not until then, will the country be
I'd OF all danger of the recurrence Of such troubles
as those through which II Is now passing When
IL shall have gone away into the States where Il is
through climatic iL auences, immeasureably more
profitable 10 the whole country than white labor
ever cen be there, II will b. simply an industral
element of greatest value 10 the industr al pros
pe,ityeb the whole Union instead Of being, an
Of late, political power fraught with monstrous
danger 10 the country. Granted, that let alone,
it involved no danger to society. But he 10 a
poor causst indeed who fancies that SO long as Il
remains political power II will ever be lie. alone
by the malicious and unreaecting. II has been
the bad dog In tie neighborhood. The sensible
man who owns such dog, on finding 1t plagued
to the point OF tearing his own and his neigh
bors' children, does not hesitate to put It out Of
the way, because IL let alone by the malicious
and foolish boys, Il would have remained harm
less to all He promptly gets rid ot II as danger
Gus 10 keep on his premises Thus would we
after the awful warning Of the past year, remit
slavery to where, and under circumstances in
which, in losing Its political importance, 1t
would simply be IN future IN element Of great
national prosperity That can only be done, we
reTeat, by adopting tie Presidents wise RECON-
m ndstions on the subject, embracing the due
colonization OF most Of the blacks whom a resort
to II may emancipate.
An apology isdue to the Stars resders for the
length of this article. 1t will be found In the
pressing importance OF the subject IL is at length
fairly upon US, and the pars Of wisdom Is to meet
1t Squarely In the face, as we have sincerely en-
