A special to the Tribune, dated Wash
| ington, 10th, says; The attention Of the
Government, President, and more promi-
nent members of the Cabinet and other
gentlemen has been largely given of late
to the consideration Of the important
questions connected with the recall to the
Union of the truant Southern States, sew
ersl Of which may soon be knocking at the
door. The Presidents course to be adopt
ed is not yet determined. Several theo-
ries claim the Presidents ear, but he is
himself engaged in maturing a projected
plan by which to secure reunion upon the
only practical basis, the basis of feeedom
and equslity before the law for all. Re-
cent utterances Of the President and in
structiops to commissioned representa-
tives OF the Government in districts Of
the South, 7 ow in our possession, leave nc
doubt that the policy of the Administrs
ton to permit none Of the vagrant slave
States is to come back with slave CensLi-
tuition. The present discussion relates to
the ways and means of effectiDg this re.
suit. "a. u
