4 crcdibly informed that clnndcstinc me-

will form majority, who will proceed
to notify tho President that the rebellion
IL substantially ended, and that the rebel
states ARE oil duly represented IN the
House, and that, consequently, his proc
lomaticn of freedom is Lull aud void, and
thcy fully under tho constitution. Con.
'grcss, thus constructed, IL to proceed at

These, s-ys the Tribune. are. IN sub
stance, the conditions forwarded from this
city 10 Richmond by the first envoy, but
We du not learn that they were accepted;
on the contrary, we understand that
they were not, the rebel chief still insis-

They would seem to be willing tC barter
anything and everything for plnce--to

From the n. Y. Tribune.
A good deal Of ingenuity has bsen
lsvished on the quesiior--" Was Slavery
the cause Of the Southern Rcbellionl'-
Some say il was not, but That unchasten-
ed Ambition, playing upon the natural
jealousy and apprehension Of tho slave
holding caste preciPltutcd the conyulsion
This seems TO us to be distinction with
out real difference. You may say the
final cnusc was the dcprsvity Of human
nature; hut that does not, any more than
dnchustcncd ambition, show why there
/ should be Rebellion In the South and
none In the North. In deciding the main
question. tho,c cardinal truths can nci-
,her no ignored or denied;
l. The Rebellion has broken cut only
in the Slave States.
9. It commenced in South Cnrolins, the
most intensely proslovcry Of them all
aud mastered state amer State in cxsct
proportion 10 their Interest in and dcvo-
ton to Slavery.
3. ThO, portion OF those States wherein
Slavery was wcukcst-EIst Tennessee,
Western Texas, North Alabama, &c !,
stood out firmest and longest against the
prevailing cpcdamic; while West Vir-
giuin, wherein Slavery was scarcely more
than nominal never rcbollcd at ALL
4. Tho four slave States whcrtin Slu.
'"ry is weHkcs, Delaware. Maryland,
Missouri aud Kcrucky-never rcyoltcd
at all.
b. Yet in these i'tGtcs tho sections
and Counties wherein Slavery is relative
y strong hGv, stendIastly AID strongly
sympathzcd with the Rebellion, and
have continually dispatched men aud
means 10 It's aid.
q. In tho Free States, the srmppthz- |
ors with the Rebellion nrr, without cx-
ccption, pnrtisous of Slavery, while every
earnest AntiS!nyory an holds il in un-
measured abhorrcncc
7. Every Member Of Congress, whether
from the Free or Slave States, who has
acted or vctcd 30 rs to emharrnss the !
Government aud please tho Rebels is u
champion of Slavery.
g. Every one In or out OF Congress
who wants the Rebels conciliatcd rather
than put down, is opcn-mouthed in resist
uncc to tho Presidents Proclamation of
Freedom.
.. Every European advocate of the re-
bcllion condemns aud assails that Proc
lumu,ion mos, vcnomcusly. Aud
10. Every Old.World champion of the
Union cemmonds aud r,ioices over that
Proclamation as tho most damaging blow
yet given to the Rebellion.
III any man, In ysw of these undcni-
able facts, does not realize that Slavery
= the cause Of the Rebellion and the Re
bcllion n consequence Of Slavery, he
must he one whose prriudiccs defy the
powers of demonstration.

occupation besides his manual TOLL
Near by, ON small block of wood, rest
