The Secret Out!--A Policy at Last!
The Secretary of War, Mr.. Edwin M u.
Stanton. has tod US what we are fighting
for; see his annual report-the end of it.:
The slaves are all to be set free. "A pop
ulation of four m illions a0ih slight assistance
from tie army. will under proper regulation
and government De of great assistance in
holding the territory once recovered
IF protected upon the lands they have
heretofore cultivated. with some organiza-
ton. and with small attachments OF loyal
troops they would not only produce much
of what is needed to feed our armies and
their trains, but they would forever cut off
from the Rebellion the resources of coun-
try thus occupied
Protect the laboring population. who are
the majority in tn 9 greater part Of the South,
10 the possession of the land and its pro-
ducts, and this great ad antase will be trans
ferrcd to u.s.
AS soon as the coast is thoroughly occu-
pied, and the people organized, trade will
revive. Cotton, rice. sugar, and other pro-
ducts, will be exchanged by the producer
for what he needs. Their wants will be
supplied direct from the Northern factories!
and the cultivation of the great staples Will
enable them to pay for what they use.'
No great territory has been perm anently
reduced without depriving the leaders OF
the people of their lands and property. 1t
is these that give power and influence
Thus we have it: the negroes are to be
protec ed in the pcsses.i of the In, and
in the products of the land. and our armies
are to watch them! they are to be organized
into governments. and they are to carry on
a free trade with the North! our armies are
to be supported there by food raised there
under the ewes Of attachments Of troops!-
the armies will become picket guards to
negro camp. and see to the raising of cotton,
rice and sugar! This is putting down rebel
lion! and while the negroes need protection
TO keep them in possession, the war is not
ended. Our volunteers are enlisted for
three years or during the war. If they
thought that during the war" was less than
three years, they made mistake; it means
three times three years, if the four millions
need "a slight assistance from the army"
and if the volunteers die out. there is til e
conscription every nine months to fill up
the ranksi
We have got policy! All hail, Great
BON bardinioni The nation is awake to
thy brilliant rising, and in the language of
your prophetic master, you "cannot escape
history" if you would.
GJTho New York World in an article
upon Gen. Butler, thus takes his portrait
1t says:
ale has disgraced the army. for the army
is honest; he has disgraced his Government,
for his Government is vet great enough to
be just; he has disgraced his country, for bis
name barbs the scorn of foreign enemies and
justifes the severity Of foreign friends; he
has dishonored the Chief Magistrate, by
prescribing him to Ministers of the Gospel
as the subject of their compulsory prayers;
he has dishonored the North, by incarnating
every mean and sordid aracteristic which,
falsely, Southern passion has ascribed to
Northern phlegm, by surrounding himself
with men whose ill-gotten gains, making
dishonesty and loyalty profitable, cause dis
loyal honesty to seem respectable by COM
parsoa; he has disgraced his sex, for not
even women have been exempt from mis-
cruelty, but like men, has been made to suf-
fer as traitors for the self-respect of their in
tercourse with him &C women; if it is posi-
bic he has disgraced himself. for the most
su bservient tool Of Southern men and OBJ
sequious lauder of Sothern institutions has
become their most assiduous enemy, seek
ing place for the heel of power where once
he looked only to lick the spittle of servility.
General Buffers whole career is known
to very many loyal men at the North, who
blush in silence and shame at the i'm beciity
which tolerates him for az instant in power.
The Administration presses will act WISE
ly not to praise him. They should be thank
full If their own silence secures his immunity
from public odium. Neither they nor Mr..
Lincoln can secure him against the infamy
of history"
