Abolition Pronunciamento.
The speech of Mr.. THADDEus STEVENS in the Uni

North The New York World thus reviews bis posi-
tion
MIR. Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania, the real
leader Of his party in the House of Representatives has
at last rendered the country the only serv which the
country could have e4pectA1 at his hands lie has
masked the policy of the Administration, and the
issue between radcalism at Washington ard
tism throughout the country has now been officially
made The radical organs 10 the press have tor some
time past been throwing 70 tn ntimatons of this issue
The slightest expression of for the Constitu

10 act upon the Prince of Darkness. MIR Stevens now
avoWs, the floor of Congress- the settled policy at
which these antpathetc contortions have long been
limiting.
The Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means
deliberately recognizes the Confederate States as a
foreign beigerent power which has lost all its past
atiOns with the non, over which the guarantees OF
the Constitution no longer extend and which is to be
made war upon and subjugated or made peace with,
substantially if it desirable portion OF the
Mexican territory, attractive province of Canada
Of this position If it be the position Of MIR.
Lincons government, ust profoundly affect the rea-
tons of foreign powers to Il American question. 1t
is q virtual abdcation OF all the grounds which the
government has heretofore taken in its diplomatic cor
rpondence 1t asks Europe not to stand by in silence
and await the restoration of violated compact but to
of conquest and domination.
But we orbear at present to comment fully upon ths
natural consequences Of such change OF front at this
upon the opinion and inevitably, therefore, upon the
action of the world at large in respect to our internal
dissensions.
The domestic aspects Of the radical pronunciamento
more Immediately demand our attention. 1t invites US
directly to contemplate for the Union without
the Constitution. This is not the war which the
America people have undertaken. It is not the war
for which they have poured out blood and treasure like
water; it is not the war to which their hearts and
hopes are this day pledged.
The old war had an aim which rose beyond the mere
blind fury of arms and could be fought to the possible
result of settlement in which, rights being respected
law could be restored The new war implies alter,
native result beyond the extermpation OF oAe party
the determination of the other.
Are we to understand that in proclaming it the Ad-
minstraton to confess that the latter of these
results have been reachd? And is Mr. Stevens pre-
pairing the way in Congress for those propositions of
peace which the Tribune has of late been SO earnestly
agitating in the press

Arkansas Fest


Ii the subjugation of these States depend upon bat
ties fought upon paper the Yankees will certainly sub
iugate them in very short time Their battles on the
field are almost always disastrous to themselves on
paper, they are only many triumphs, each for the
time unparalleled and each rising in dignity and npor-
tance above the other. But the other d8y beat
them badly in the field at Murfreesborough and Vicks
burg They have made themselves amends after their
fashion, by great victory at Arkansas Post.
With regard to the details Of this exploit publish
! ed by US yesterday from the New York Herald, we
must say that are utterly incredulous Arkansas
Post is old French settlement IN Arkansas county,
on the Arkansas river, about hundred miles above
the mouth 1t post during the exsen of the
United States, and was held by small fyrce, yer
more, we believe, than two three companies. There
were Notifications there, and, far learn
from the most dgen uquiry at the proper 2ource, no
considerable body of troops. AT the utmost it is
believed that there more than four five
hundred. Yet the Yankee pa victory calls for
1000 prisoners, $50 killed and wounded, ard nine
cannon. If we placed credit in this alleged VIC
tory, we should be at a loss to know fom whence
so many men came, how they got to Arkansas Post
who commanded them, and what could have Induced
them to surrender without i1cting loss CT than
one hundred men upon the enemy The whole story is
incredible, and predict that it will turn out to he
fabrication, based upon the surprise and capture Of
old dilapidaed fort, and few companies left there to
guard the public stores. We never be inducei to
believe that 1000 Confederate soldiers could have
rendered, after resistance feeble that implied in
the Yankee accounts without making effort 10
vested, Or cutting their way out after it 4 few
days. however, possibly few hours, will bring US re-
ports from our own officers in that quarter.

RTOVen.> of the Enemy.

TIE movements of the enemy at Fre reiericksburg for
the last week have indicated purpose to undertake
another "On to Richmond!' The operations at Fred
ericksburg and n North Carolina, taken in conjunc-
ton, leave some doubt to whether the real tack
will be made on the Rappahancock or in North Caro-
lima.
The building OF a railroad towards King George G..
H., and corduroy road across a swamp protecting
the same by strong bt, would indicate that the
movement the Rappahanock designed to be
made in earnest while the operations in North Carroll
ma, were designed eint to draw troops from Gen.
Lee.
Whether the Rappahannock is the zeal and North
Carolina the feint, or North Carolina the real and the
RappabaDock tie eint, only be determined fully By
subsequent movements OF the enemy. But whatever
may be his purpose wherever he may direct his for
ces whether against Gen. Lee Gen. Smith, feel
off lent that neither the beaten army of Burnside
that Foster will be able to effect anything than
their own>destructon.
The raid of Foster gave US due notce that such re-
counoisance might be followed by serious movement,
and cannot doubt but that proper steps have been
or will be taken to nticpate any danger from tie
North Car lima attack. While the hopes OF the Cen,
