Or hamlet.
AS to tie slaves Of loyaliats, would
recommend different from the views
and policy now entertained by the
GoycrnmenD that the relation which
now exists between them shall in no
way be disturbed or broken, unless, or
until the owners shall be convinced OF
the expediency, and even the necessi-
ty Of manumitting them, as presume
they will in due time, in which case
ample remuneration shall be bestowed
by the authorities of the United States,
but in no case should they, or any one
Of them, be permitted TO yend, or in
any way dispose Of or transfer any one
Of them; or if they should, enfran.
chisemcnt should be the immediate re-
suit. BY adopting The foregoing pol
icy and recommendations, ] believe

I be soon terminated and cxicrminated.
