From Washington.

No Division inithe, Cabinet on the Eman.
cipation PrOolamatiOn-An Universal
Emancipation Bill.
Correspondence ofthe Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, September S.--Tbe
New York Hereald, and other semi
disloyal sheets continue to give cur.
rency to the falsehood that the Cabi.
ret are divided Oh the emancipation
policy OF the President, as contained
in his proclamation, and affirmed in
his recent Springfield letter. There
Is not the slightest foundation, in fact,
for these statements. | havet the very
best authority for saying that there is
not now, never has been, and not the
slightest prospect that there ever will
be any division CT opinion concerning
The members Of the Cabinet in regard
to the enforcement of the proclama
ton or its validity. No man, in any
official position has expressed the
least opposition to the Presidents
policy in this regard. On the other
and men are daily coming oyOr to
the great truth-that slavery must
die. that liberty and Union may live
in this country.
Reyerdy johnson recently express
ed the opinion that no man set free
by the proclamation, or otherwise by
the necessities OF the war, could be
re re'enslaved. Governor Andy John.
son Of Tennessee, has recently an
noS ced similar position.
Old Mr.. Blair, a Maryander and
stakeholder, said ia the hearing of
the writer Yesterday, that be was in
favor of destroying slavery root and
branch;" and in saying this he un
doubtedly expressed the sentiments
of his SOD, the Postmaster General
as well as Of the whole Blair family
Take to yourselves no consolation
then, ye Copperheads, on account OIL
any supposed DIVISION in the Cabinet
or among loyal men on this vita
question. There is no such division
and never will be.
MIR. Seward is most earnestly II
favor Of excepting the promise made
by the Commander in chief to ouI
colored fellow citizens, who are sc
gallantly taking up arms for the de
fense Of the Union, and for the
achievement of their own liberties.
t0yer thirty thousand oolored soldiers
! are now in the field doing service
| Fifty thousand more will wear Un
Gle Sans uniform before January,
Recently Isaw 3 young colored mar
at the War office with tie insignia o.
a Major upon his coat. This is as il
should be. Whatever is wanting tc
make the cololed soldier in all respects
equal to the white, Congress vii
soon supply.
here and now forewarn Copper
heads Of all degrees that one of the
frat and most important measures tc
come before the next Congress will
be an universal Emancipation Bill
which will make slavery in all parts
of the United States an odious crime
forever hereafterinficting the penalty
Of death upon whomsoever shall dart
to violate it after it becomes law.
l And moreover | assure negro ha
ters and negro owners, and all theil
hackers, of whatever name, that such
a bill will pass both branches of con
gress by very large maturity, aEt
be hailed by the people as the brigh
test aud best Of all the great aud goot
constitutional remedies for treason
and rebellion which have been ihvok
ed by, or during the most glorious
administration OF Father Abraham
No man who faithfully fights for th,
Union shal! hereafter be cursed by it
