,isef is MISUNDERSTANDING failed to secure

vertisef is misunderstanding failed to secure
achanged Union through an amended Cousti-
tuition, that would exait slavery TO still higher
domnion--to restore the Union as it ,pas;
which he despairs of doing through the army,
with emancipation as an object; for the Union
thus restored will be a Union without slaves,
which to his mind is as undesirable and as i'm
practicable as a corporation without money, or
church without Bible.
The truth is, the Advertiser has become the
rampant defender of negro slavery; the cham
pion of southern rights. Its editor is mad at
everything that savos of opposition to his
cherished idol. He is, day after day, uttering
sentiments of the most dangerous practical
tendency and in tlie article of which the
above extract is the conclusion, he goes to the
length of encouraging rebellion-we think of
invoking military Intervention and despotism-
to preserve his favorite divine institution from
that inevitable destiny to which God seems to
have doomed it.

Colonel Vance, the new Governor of North

the Slh ult. 1t is moderate in tone generally,
though when speaking Of the treatment re-
ceived by the North Carolina troops at the
hands OF the rebel government, his language
is quite bitter and sarcastic.

The FATE OF SLAvERY.-The Baltimore
American, which does not consider the issuing
of the emancipation proclamation a judicious
movement, says, nevertheless
"For all the evils of war which curse the
land, it must be remembered that slavery
drotcs its responsibility. 1t proudly claims it
as We have said-and let none marvel, there
fore, at seeing blows dealt it wherever they
may seem effective. The time for trifing Is
past; and whilst men may speculate profound
ly on primary cause and effect, on what this
or that clause of the Constitution may permit
in dealing with men who defy it altogether,
slavery is being pushed to the wall to perish
there. As we have long since shown. it did
not perish in a legitimate manner in Mexico.
but it pershed as the consequence of revolti-
ton, and so it is destined to perish here. Its
fate-as matters tend will be told i'm the
