ANkW M METHUD OF REAsUNINa-sEN-
ATOl CUWAS.

ATON CUwAN.
In the early part OF the present sefsion o
Congress, when the matter of prohibiting th'
return by military officers Of persons claimet
a. iugitives from labor, was under discussion
Mr. Cowao argued In the Senate that the pro
hibition was altogether unnecessary. To reiuri
such persons, involved the decision that the,
were rghtfully claimed rs fugi.ives FIRM labor
which was . judicial function, not to b. exer
cised by military officers. All this Mr.. Cowsr
regarded q, 50 transparently clear, that legis
lation could not be needed To enforce II. Per
hsps not, IL all our military officers were ~
good lawyers as Mr. Cowan is; and yot the ther
existing iact was, that military cill ,srs were Ia
the constant habit Of doing this very thing, and
we doubt not, would be doing IL to day, II Con
greas had not percmptorily forbidden It.
We observe from some published remark, Of
Mr. Cowan on Monday, that be still reasons 10
the same way-that Congress need not inter
tsre to enforce any obligation Of Law, or pru.
dencs, which is very clear to bis own mind.
He said:
al stated, and I believe I frst stated In this
body, that to my mind the true rule was, when
general came into country and met negro,
the question WAS not whether be was slave or
no; hut the question was, whether he was an
he we're an enemy, he should be treated as an
enemy; Il "A friend, he should be treated as n
friend. He cannot determine tho question OF
slavery"
All this being very plain and satisfactory to
himself as indeed II ought TO b, to every man
OF ordinary intelligence, Mr. Cowan leprecatss
agitation upon the subject in Congress as equally
mischievous and unnecessary.
Aud yet, the fact is, that this war has been
Carried on, at most points, as II our friends were
already 70 numerous that we did not care 10
have any more. and M II our enemies were 80
Insignificant that 1t was not worth while to
weaken them.
Mr. Cowan may not recollect, but We do, that
the grand military expedition which terminated
at Bull Run, was commenced with manifesto
from headquarters, that 40 man, not OF the sp-
proved complexion, should be permitted to
come inside Of our very select, exclusive, and
aristocrstic lines. We were then about to enter
Eastern Virginia with hall million people Of
the wrong color, and we ordered them. in the
most lordly style imaginable, not to join GU,
eide, but 10 keep at work against lie. This was
very magnificent!
