The President Il seems, boggies over the
couhscation bill. and asks congress for
little more time. Having on hand an ar.
raugment with the border state members OF
congress 10 reference to emancipation, it Is
not improbable that he finds one measure
somewhat embarrassing TO the other, and
is willing on the score Of sound policy. TO
bold the last in order, in allegiance. That
there is any danger of veto, we do not
believe. The large msjoriiies Of two.thirds
in tbe senate, and nearly that in the house,
would discourage such conclusion, IS the
president has never shown disp sition 20
oppose the voice Of the people as expressed
through their representatives. That the
president may suggest changes or even new
features, would be in accordance with pre-.
eedent 3 Athst discrimination which he usually
brings TO bear upon ell measures Of great
public concern. We are willing to wait in
confidence.
The border state representatives on the
18th agreed upon their reply to the emanci
patton proposition. II is represented al
temperate and respectful. For reasons set
forth the cannot endorse 1t, and differ from
him in the views that a failure to accRp
would prolong the wor. They Join in th,
recommendation Of a respectful considera
ton BY their states, but in no way commi
themselves to it's support. Some twent,
members were present at the meeting.
The presidents answer is embodied in
bill providing that whenever any stat,
shall abolish slavery he government sbsl
issue six per cent bonds to the value o. tht
slaves liberated-fxing the amount. Tht
passage is urged. We are left TO the infer
ence, that the alternative is placed before
the horder states, and they may either &C
espt compensation or take their chance
in the Developments Of the future.
We stop the press to insert the followir
resolution which embodies the Presidents view
