y The PRESIDENTIAL Resolution fol-
lowing is the resolution sent into Congress BY
the President, concerning the slavery question
Resolved, That the United States. in order
to cooperate with any State which may adopt
gradual abolition of slavery, give to such State
pecuniary aid to be used by such State, in its
discretion. to compensate it for the inconveni-
ence, public and private, produced by such
change of system.
In his accompanying message recommending
its adoption he points out the policy of the
Administration on the slavery question, as
follows:
Such a proposition on the part of the Gene
raj GOeernment sets up no claim of right by
the Federal authority to interfere with slavery
within State limils-relerring as it does the /
absolute control Of the subject, in each case. |
TO the Stale aud the people Immediately inter
ested. 1t is proposed as a matter of perfectly
free choice to them.

IL may be esteemed no ofruse TO ask whether
the pecunlary consideration rendered would not
be OF more value to the States and private per-
sons concerned than would the institution and
property in il. in the present aspect of affairs
W hie II Is true that the adoption OF the pro
posed resolution would be merely initatorv.
aud not within itself practical measure it is
recommended in the hope that it would soon
lead to important practical results.
Ii we read this rightly, it is in accordance
with the policy declared by Congress in Au-
gust last, that the war should be conducted
yply for the restoration of the national authori-
~, aud should cease when that object was ac-
compiished. This course on the part of the
President was doubtless rendered necessary hv
the constant efforts Of the Republican party to
make the war cause for universal emaneipa-
tion. They are here distinctly informed by
the President that the emancipation question
rests solely with the States interested If they
reject the proposition, there is an end of it,
1t efectnally repudiates the position assumed
by the Republican party, who have demanded
the armiug Of slaves. by the Government, and
the abolition Of State institutions as nation
al military necessity. As indicating the policy
of the Administration in opposition to that
urged by the Republican party, we regard it
as delicate, but decided and efectual
thrust.
