say: Heaven save Us from such friends!-
J Why. the veriest copperhead tory yet cum

Bat it is claimed for Mr.. Julian that the
Administration has followed his load by
adopting the " radical policy be recommen-
ded." Let us see. His original claim was,
that. as the President had violated the Con.
stituton. in calling out the first IS. 900 men,
therefore. it was sufficient license for Con-
gress to do so too. by taking the bull by the
horns and remapding all the seeding State.
to territorial condition, and, when they ap-
piled for admission into the Union, they
could only come in as free States By this
process, he proposed to get rid Of the curse
Of slavery. The Administration has never
adopted this plan. or recommended it. On
the contrary. the President. for ths purpose
OF weakening the rebellion-crushing it
has cut the Gordon knot" with his
Emancipation Proclamation, and declared
free every slave in the rebellious States.-
The end OF the war insures the end Of sla.
very there. because the leaders of the re-
belion--the slaveholders who govern now
will have to leave. either by way Of the
rope or by expstriating themselves, and the
Government will devolve on free men. who.
knowing their rights will dare maintain
them. and see to it that their State Consti-
tutions and laws shall forever inhib,. the
4" sum Of all villainies" from ever cursino
them or their chiljrsn with its woes.
BY their act Of secession, Mr.. Julian con.
tends that the rebellion &c States haze COM
mitted suicide--annihilation and that they
have resolved themselves back into their
original elements as terItores--;hus virtu |

sion was valid. The Administration still
regards them as States. and p, opposes. when
ever the traitors within their borders are
subdned. and loyal mon enough within their
borders come forward and desire to carry
on their State Governments. to permit them
to govern emselves. in conformity TO the |
Constitution Of the United States. So the /
administration aud Mr. Julian are not ex-
nctly in unison" yet. and it has not a.!op-
ted the vigorous :" policy he recommend
