LINCOLN's ABOLITION mEssAGE.

We clip the following from the Nashville
Times (Federa) of the l4th inst. Let the peo-
pie open their eyes the yoke is preparing for
their neclSs, unless they resist ike men.
The Times says:
In the United States House Of Representatives
on the 10Th inst, Mr.. Roscoe Conkling asked
leave to offer the following:
ReS0lUed, That the United States ought TO CO.
operate with any State which may adopt grad
ual abolition Of slavery, giving TO such State pc
cuniary aid, to be used by such State in its dis
cretion 10 compensate for the Inconvenience,
public and private, produced By such change Of
system.
The rules we're suspended for the purpose-56
against So
The motion to postpone the consideration of
the resolution, which is the one suggested by
President Lincoln, in his emancipation message
a few days SINCE was specially discussed, the
telegraph report says, but without taking the
question thereon the House adjourned
On the ith, the question came up when Mr.
CTitienden, of Kentucky, asked TO make per-
sOna statement. to which Messrs. Stevens and
Lovejoy objected, and the motion 10 postpone
was Gnen rejected by one majority. The resOlu-
toa was discussed at considerable length, when
it was adopted by a vote Of s. to 81.
There was a large anti-saveTy meeting in
NeN iyIA oA lHe evening O4 1le O'i lu9t-r winch III
filed the academy of music % Overiowing. To
this assemblage the message of President Lin
recommending the adoption Of the resolu-
ton was read, and it was received with applause.
The New York Tribune one of the most rabid
sift-slavery papers in the North, not even excep-
ting the AHti-S. aUey Standard, indoTses the
message and is even delighted with it. The
message seems to have received the approval Of
most Of the leading journals Of the Iee States,
while those Of the border slave States, while
they urge no constitutional objection to it, re-
gard the agitation Of the question at this time as
most unfortunate.
