Tue WEsT.-The Cincinnati Commercial
Advertiser, in alluding to the apprehension
occasionally expressed that the West might
take advantage Of its superior political
power to oppress the North, says:
1t Is very probable that hereafter the
West will In measure decide the civil pol
icy of the Government; but her strength
will not be used TO destroy the prosperity
or deny the rights Of the people Of any 9th
er section of the country. We shall proba-
bly, have TO take in hand the radicals Of the
East and South, and preserve the balance
of power between them. We shall hold
them strictly TO constitutional obligations,
while we will see that neither inhicts injns-
tice on the other. The dOwn-Easters will
find in The eDd that the people Of the West
are as just as they are patriotic. Men who
give their own lives and those Of their chill
dren TO the cause of their country, are not
likely to higgle about taxes or shlrk their
share of the responsibility. The people of
the West ask that the burden shall fall equi-
tably upon all, and not with such prepon.
derating weight upon special interests, vital
to the industrial and commercial prosperity
Of the community, as to crush them out.I-
together.

Of our time who will be better known and
appreciated by the next generation than by his
contemporaries. Born aud reared in one of the
most Slavery cursed sections Of Virginia, and

He urged this most vigorously in "The Rejected

the necessity, the feasibility and the certain
efficiency of Emancipation as an antidote to

The President has not yet signed the Con-
fscation-Emancipation bill, so far as we have
adyices, but there is no doubt thst be will do
so.
The Senate yesterday. by majority OF one
decided that slaves of Unionists shall not be
freed because of their rendering service to the
Union cause We regret this, because 1t Will
cast doubt on the intention of the Government
to free those who serve it against the Rebel
lion.
The House has passed a Mileage Reform
bill, but the Senate has not yet cOncurred, and
probably will not concur.
Both Houses have voted to prclong the ses-

NEw.YORK II CONSTANT.

A year ago last April, our City held what
was probably the largest public meeting ever
convened in America to emphasize her deter
mination to stand firmly and fully by the Fed
eral Government in the struggle just forced
upon it BY the slaveholding traitors, in devoting
her last dollar and musket to the manter-
ance of the Union and the support Of its fairly
chosen and rightful authorities. That meeting
WIS unequaled in numbers, in unanimty and
in dauntess resolution.
Nearly fifteen months have since passed, and
again our City has mustered her tens of thou
sands TO attest anew her devotion to the
Country and her Cause If the first flush OF
enthusiasm has passed away, ii has been sue
ceeded by a graver, sterner, more inilexible
resolution. At the former meeting, the hope
was still cherished that the traitor chiefs would
be left TO their own devices, and that the
Southern masses would compel their assent to
speedy and bloodess reunion. That hope
has been dssipated. Though the original and
determined Secessionists were less than One
Hundred Thousand in number, they have
managed to bully or awe the great body OF the
Southern Whites into subseryiency to their
treason. Only from the despised oppressed,
~. Il. &c Dab.
has the Union cause any hope Of defenders in
the States given over to the Vaccinations of
traitors.
The Meeting of Yesterday was fre.b exhi-
bition of the earnestness and unanimity where
with the Union is cherished in the hearts and
hopes of our citizens. But it was more than
this-it was an entreaty, an exhortaton to the
Government to employ every influence. every
instrument, every energy. in putting down the
Shareholders Rebellion. There is to be 10
more considering how much We can oppose the
Rebellion without dong any harm to the Rebels
or the internal " institution" which has made
them what they are. HeDceforth, the LOYALTY
Of the land imperatiyey demands that every
means justified by the laws of war shall be EN-.
poyed to weaken the traitors and strengthen the
Unionsts Slavery and its parasites to the contrary
notwithstanding. Hence the immense and con-
slant throng around the stand at which Gen.
Fremont presided-hence the enthusiasm clio
tied at that stand far exceeded that eyinced at
all the others. The man was nothing-the
principle he symbolized was everything As
the first Of our Generals to speak the decisive
word Freedom to the slaves of Rebels -
he stood the obseryed of all observers and the
ioy of loyal hearts. And tie moral of this out
burst of popular affection was and is-"Fear
not 10 be wholly right, and trust to the People
for your yindication." May the country find
its patriotism cheered and invigorated, as that
of the City has been, by the doiDgs OF our
Great Meeting
