aThe war will put an END 70 slavery
mus, 20 10 the wall!" This is the constant
shouting Of Abolition Republicans t1s po.
forth al their raIlying war-cFy, Tney Gwen o.,
uroa q with such oomplacency and proclaim y
v,,h suob a relish that they evidently regard H.
and ssek 70 make ,he General Government ane
the people regard it, .as the mAin' If not the
sole object Of the war. That object is not N
.heir view 70 secure the liberty and promote
the velfare of white men, but 10 compass the
amancipssion and advance the elevation OIL tns
Ba. suppose the President proclaims or Con
gress sOacls general emancipation, nuiliyine
All the provisions of the Federal Constitution
and'all the State laws, which permit or sane
tiop slsyery7 Such emancipation can only Dt
enforced where the military authority 10 su
p,eme. and as our armies penetrate into and
establish such authority In the slsveholding
districts. II must be enforced at the point Oh
,he bayones, and by establishing military des-
po.ism The white race must be enslAved In
order % give freedom to the black race ,.i,,
Again, suppose the military or despohc arm
of the General Government should DO success
ful in setting free The four millions OF slaves
from the control OF their present owners, what
theu2 That is the momentous question, which
the rayipe Abolition Republican refuses to look
full in the face. His exclamation is, that
where right and Justice are concerned, We must
not Look at consequence, But il 10 neither
right nor jnst to turn millions of men, women
and children loose upon the community without
providing for. them certain employment and
support. A new labor system to take the place
of the old would have to be devised and put In
oueTation by the General Government, and mil
lions of money expended in the experiment,
which, after all. might prove serious failure.
At any rate, such would be the condition OF the
freed blacks generally, that the new system,
whatever It might be, would have all the char
aetssislics Of hsrsbness, severity and liability
20 abuse, Of the old wish few Of its milder and
rsdesmiDg features. Laying aside other con.
sideratioas, is such gigantic scheme one in
which the Government should engage, while
carving on bloody and expensive var, which
is exhaussiDg the life and taxing ell the ener-
gies Of the peOplei ftt
With most Of the Abolition Republicans, 1t Il
not 90 much the desire for the freedom of tho
slaves that prompts their War-Gyagainst slave
~, ss violent hatred of slayeholders. Their
object Is plain aud simple-by many Republican
journals openly avowed-to exserminate, not
slavery, but Shareholders, IN order oPut an end
to their political power and inauenee. This
personal maIignity crops out when any news is
received Of an advantage gained by the rebels,
OF any story is told of atrocities perpeHated BY
them. Then, In the mos. revengeful and fero'
eious language, the people are called upon TO
utterly anuIhiIate the authors of this rebellion
the sIsyeholders, by demanding Of the Presi-
deut proclamation, or Of Congress an act,
freeing the sIayes. For the qualification Of
their malice against slAveholders as class,
these radical Republicans would sever the
Union and involve the country in anarchy and
ruin. .,ef So ~ ,e-.r
Let these men actuated by such passions aud
inflamed with such malice against q claas Of
our eouutsymsn-mAny Of whom are as lOyalss
any Of us to the Union and the Constitution
succeed in their mad schemes, does anybody In
his senses suppose that the blacks will be bene'
ftsd b. The chADgeof mGssera7 They may not
rs-sslablish the old system Of labor; but men
who can set constitutions and laws at defiance
and take array without compuucticn the rights
Of white men, win hol be- long Ia establishing
over whites ard blaoks dsspOtic rule, which
will make both sigh IN vain for the return of
