has selected the very weapons Slavery uo.,
have herself chosen. While Liberty mo-,
Slavery with Slavery's own brutal weaDo,
it is to be expected that Slavery will .rinnr
but let Liberty encounter Slavery with Il,
bright weapons Of Freedom, and she will ,o,
lay Slavery low. The most glorious veaoo,
Of Liberty is Liberty. Until we emapc;n.
the slaves, VIC shall never conquer. Tb,,
are two great classes in this country -tbo,
who, having received every favor and be,ef
from the Government, are now trying to st,s
the nation to the heart ; and the other cI,,
are those who have always received from III.
Government wrong and contumely, and VII,
have every provocation to stab the nation
but who have yet been patient and true and
yet we now choose the black hearts, becau,.
We hate the black faces. A few more mon,h.
of delay, and the negroes will lose their fair,
in our power, as they have already ncarIr
lost faith in our friendship. There is bp
one word that will call the slaves to their
feet, and paralyze this rebelIion,a and that vori
is Freedom but at present they are just a,
much slaves under the Stars and Stripes AZ
u nder the Stars and Bars. The speaker
from a recent interview with the president
thought that that officer has, by private sec.
retaries or by Cabinet officers, kept isolated
from the pulses Of the popular heart. In Some
further remarks, the speaker continued to al.
vocate his theory that our only hope OF win.
ming this fight is in proclaiming freedom to al!
slaves who will come TO our banners.-Me.

The Sleeping Negro.

KEY. MIR. Conway of Cincinnati recently
delivered lecture in New York in favor Of
Immediate emancipation as the only means of
national triumph and safety in this hour of
our peril. In the course of his remarks be
told an anecdote Of the painter Brown of
Philadelphia, who was employed to paint for
the City of Charleston national device for
some public use. Blown symbolized the
North by various agricultural and mechanical
implements, and represented the South bv a
cotton'bale' on which reposed a sleeping ne.
gro. Jefferson Davis, who was member If
the Examining Committee, objected to this
device, for, said he, "What will become 90

For the Free man.
The Light Breaking.
81 to l5.

Have we really touched bottom? Is there
now at last to be u vigorousw war policy, striking
right and left, anywhere, only always striking
home? Has the last concession been made by
Republican Administration backed up by a
united North, to the spirit of Slavery? Is
Fremont, the only man who has hitherto shown
anything of the Napoleonic spirit, now, after
these months Of inaction, Of restraint, to re-
ceive q command? No other man in the SER
vice could have brought SO large an army into
the field in SO short time against such obstacles,
or quickened them with SO earnest spirit.
Witness the cavalry charge atSpringfeld, witness
SIgel's marches, without adequate means Of
transportation, without adequate supplies, but
marching still, and sweeping the foe before him |!
Such dash and determined heroism, is half
the victory before the sword is drawn, or shot
fired. But few of our generals are liable to the
charge made against Napoleon by an Austrian
officer, whom he made prisonor,-th Nupole-
On did not act according to established rules Of

Late Foreign News.

The late foreign mails bring Earl Russell 8
reply to the state paper OF MIR. Seward on the
Trent affair. Russell combats N.Y. Stewards ar
sument that Mason and Slidel were contraband
Of var, devoting The most of his reply to dis
oussion of that question. The Earl comes much
nearer Senator Summers ground on this cues
ton; and this country can certainly get along
With as liberal Interpretation of international
law to protect the rights of neutrals as England
can.
4 The mail also brings a letter from Lord Ly-
ons to Earl Russell containing the substance of
u conversation between Lyons and Secretary
Seward in reference to the stone blockade. He
reports the Secretary as having intimated that
the sinking of the vessels laden with stone was
only for a temporary purpose, and that they
would be removed when the South returned to
its allegiance
The general tenor of tie news is more peace
iul. There is apparent disposition on the part
of both England and France to interfere if any
occasion offers, but they don't seem to be in
haste to take the initiative, each of them rather
waiting for the other. They complain much of
the injury they suffer, but at present sem to
be waiting for something to turn up The
news that will reach them in about ten days
will help to quiet them still more

Congressional Mileage.

The editor of the Watchn,an writing from his
seat at Washington, thus explains the position
OF the Vermont Members of the House on the
subject Of mileage:
1.-The payment was made on the law Of 1857
and without any order by Congress, either of
Senate or House. Ii the law was violated the
error lies with the Executive Department, rather
than with Senators Or Members. But it was
not violated.
January 9th, in Committee of the Whole,
one OF the Vermont Members (thc name would
be distastelul. perhaps, to the editor of tho
Frceman,) proposed to strike out the appropria-
ton for mileage to Senators for the next session,
for the avowed purpose of preventing the pay
ment of u third or extra mileage, and every
Member from Vermont voted for it. The amend.
ment was rejected"
The above statement puts the Vermont Mem.
bers right OH one question,-that of the attempt
to get the third mileage,-but it isn't very
credtable to the House that it refused to adopt
the proposition made by well we dom, know
what the " distasletul name is.
But the FREEMAN was complaining that the
House had voted to take its second mileage OF
this session. The editorial correspondent says
we have mistaken the law. Will he give that
law, and let us, as well as his own readers. sec
the section which made it legal to draw the first
mileage last session, or the second now? And
il it is all legal and right thus far, will he cx.
plain what necessity there WAS for any further
legislation respecting it?

war-he was therefore no soldier. You cannot
tie down military genius of the first order to
rules which are tho proper necessity OF feeble
men. Taylor, at Bucna Vista, was soundly
whipped according to all the estab lished rules OF
war, bu, he would not know he was beaten,
and was at last left master of the field.
There is pent-up valor and fighting spirit
in our armies, that is fretting and chatting for a
chance at the foe. See how it came out at Fort
Henry the other day, when the gallant Foote
run his gunboats close up into the very teeth OF
the enemy's batteries, ready to be blown out
of water, as he ought to have been, according to
rule We like Foo,e. Give him q chance. He
has got good Nelson pluck in him. Nelson's
biographer says the only order from him to his
captains was, Lay your ship aside of the en-
emy and fire till one or the other Of you 60 to
the bottom" Give Zagonyi, and Sigel and
Foote, and Fremont chance.
Fremont was stopped lest he should crowd the
enemy too hard, lest he should, ere this, have
swept Slavery clean out Of the Mississippi
valley, and ere now have been shaking hands
with Phelps in New Orleans, and putting Texas
in the charge of twenty thousand antl-slavery
home guards. Lane. who seemed to have some
thought Of the same job, seems likely to wait
awhile longer How long, yes, how long, ere
we shall be in earnest Is it till foreign powers
raise the blockade, Disguised at our delay?
There are symptoms of better times. We have
gand tidings from Kentucky, and of the arrest
Of the traitor Stone, for whose blood cry the
shades of the gallant Baker and hundreds of our
best and bravest at Balls Bluff last, but not
least of "a command for Fremont.
