ration by purchasing the slaves in each state. The

would apply would virtually observer the Union,
snd lAon al slave States north Of the independent
REGION would say: lie Union for which we have
struggled being gone, we now choose 10 20 with the
S0UrlcIn section" OF course, Mr.. Lincoln, with
the acumen which bis legal profession has cultivated
dscerns that the principle Of secession admitted
by the North, the interests Of tie Border States
" 1uld sway them 70 the South, and he therefore
SAYS: Lei ~ deprive the Southern States even of
.his prospect by removing the interest which would
sway tie Border States"
From The Lire,poel Times
Perhaps the most striking foreign news of the
week from America, and il is contained ip the
Message which Mr.. President Lincoln has addressed
TO Congress on the subject Of Slavery. Inc most
conflicting views have been put forth on this subject
By the press Of this country, but generally speaking
tie uruposion has been received tavorably, though
some of the leading newspapers contend that IT
shows signs Of exhaustion on the part Of the Federal
Government, and taat they are anxious for COM
promie. Ii il evidently the desire Of Mr.. President
Lincoln TO make an impression on the Border States,
aud il they ave satisfied with The arranec Wolch
be proposes. TIE game Ii up. lie expressly declares
that tie offer of pecuuiaIy compensation, whether
received OF rejected, will not prevent tie war IRON

the project DO acceptable TO the North, ana equally
80 to the Border States, we shall soon see the ehG O
conflict that has eniaed great sacrifices On all that
remains of the Union, aud has produced great dis
tress among the operative classes Of our own cOun-
