EMANCIPATION.

EMANCIPATION.
4 To-day (Wodnesday) is the day fixed 10y
the House Of Representatives to consider the
motion to reconsider the vote on the cmanci-
patton bin rejected by them last week Our
adyices from Washington indicate that some
change viii be made IN the bill and it will
finally be passed. After having almost una
nimously endorsed President Incoln's propo-
sition for compensated emancipation, we
think We mistake not the temper Of the peo-
pie when We say that they wolld be much
better satisfied if Congress would rest the
whole question Of emancipation ON that sim
pie and effective proposition, rather than at
tempt to supersedo it by acts Of doubtful CON
stitutiouality OF expediency. President Lin
coins administration is fully committed to
safe and sure method Of doing away with
slavery and, unless his wishes are thwarted
in the house of his friends, its doom is seal
ed. Public sentiment is coming to regard
the policy Of compensated emanci patton and
colonization as tie policy to meet the exigen-
cy OF the times As is we'll SAID by the

Justly regarded, their motive is cOmmeudable,
