The President has not yet expressed
his opinion on the peace propositions. Du'
his recent speech would seem to indicate
that he u in favor of trying 70 naxe gcoo
his promise of freeing the slaves before
consen,ing to peace proposition.
A number of leading republicans,
s.ys the correspondent Of the Herald.
have arranged programme TO be sub
r;,,ed 10 the President tomorrow, under
which they are willing that peace shall b
restored. 1t embraces the following
points, said to have been suggested by
Mr.. Chase: First, that slavery shall
cease in the whole United States after
1876, all the minors at that time are to
remain as slaves until Fl years Of age and
slaves over 40 years of age are to have
the option of their freedom or to remain
with their masters. Provision is made
for the loyal slave states for receiving .
compensation for their emancipated ne
gros, but no compensation be allowed Ia
the rebel states. Second, a convention
shall be called with view TO revise the
costitution of the United States, with Z
view to striking out the three fifth pro
visions, resigning slavery as basis o.
representation and providing for thu
emancipation OF the slaves in accordance
with the above programme.
