should have grown to the stately proper
tons which it assumes to-day, in spite OF
the incubus OF slavery and the combined
efforts Of the slave masters to crush it.
That is the real wonder; and if we had
lime and space, we could show grander
record Of national progress in all the di.
rcctions Of civilization and commerce, Of
intellectual and material greatness, with
fewer blots Of civil connections and popu
lar outbursts,' than any other nation in the
world can show for itself, within the same
space Of time. This is no boast; it is 8
fact Of which history herself is the en-.
grayer! Compared with the old European
nations, the entire field Of time which on,
history covers is but as dot in the land
scape. We lack thirteen years TO make 8
century Of national life. And VIC ask ou'
friends in Europe and elsewhere, whe
sneer at the performances Of this Republic
to try if they can take the measure Of them
We found here wilderness, and we have
planted it with tile innumerable cities Of 1

Slavery and Free Governn1cnt.
CHICAGO, Aug. afth, 1863.

Editors Chicago Tribnne:
An article IN the Raleigh N. c. Standard,
which is said to come from the State officers
Of The rebel government, Is attracting very
general attention, because It is thought to e2-
hibit the feeling of the leaders in that State,
and to give promise Of an early 'treconstruc-
1iou,' Of the Union. That article itself shows
that slavery produces characters which 1t is
impossible to Incorporate into free govern
mcnt. ....
The idea Of free government is, that the
members Of it are equal before the law that
Public questions are decided by numbers ::
and all those Who have not 4 majority with
them, must yield to the decision which has
been rendered according to the forms OF law.
The idea Of slavery Is, that the master com
mands and whatever the numbers opposed
to him, his will must govern If his will Ia
resisted, he resorts to violence. This idea
must ultimately he incorporated in his politi-
cal action. # then, he Is out7oted, he resorts
foreVolutIon-to atIns. That Is hts character.
r. a natural law he is so constituted that he
ccrrot; annreciAte and conform to the usagcs
~ free Constitution. Is this extrayagant !
look at the article in question. s-
It Is considered one Of the moss fcasonaoie
manifestations that have come from Ae souts;
sign that there are sentiments e thts 5hste e
Gle sets forth substantially, that without amy
! real cause Of grievance, the South has gone
| to war with her OWL country; that thae var.
| In two years Of horror, has spread desolation
| and destruction, which no words can deplct ;
| that the South is substantially yanquishcd
| ard whether she nil OF not, she Wi1 soon be
