most at stake on Slavery hesitated to play the
desperate game to which they were imPeIed,
knowing we'll that by playing it they risked
their all.
Every hour of the nuctuating fortunes OF
this terrible strife is an hour Of added peru
to Slavery. No sun sets that does not see
some persons free who were slaves the nlghI
before. McClellans and Buels contribute 10
the inevitable result as surely, though not 80

conviction that neither he nor any o'nol

unless the Rebellion aud Slavery shall ooth
die. Aud bis convictions are shared BY nearly
every Unionist remaining in the South
When this struggle commenced, there were
large and powerful communities hostile 10 the
Rebellion but devoted to Slavery. Every hour

Delaware was a Union but Pro-SiaVery
State. II ia now Union and anti.Slayery, as her
noble Goyernor-elected by the largest vote
ever given to any man for that ofhce-so
forcibly proclaims. She cast 90 votes for Hale
as President in '52, $50 for Fremont in Sc,
3.sl5 for Lincoln in 60, and 8, 1855 for Cannon
in '62. which is more than she ever gave to
any other man for any Office whatever. No
body doubts that, should the Rebellion be put
down, she is henceforth practically and soon to
be formally Free State.
Maryland gave Hale "a votes, Fremont

Maryland, we joyiully believe, will give an
Emancipation majority IN her election next De-
tober; but at all events her Union vote viii be

men can foresee. Unless '"My Maryland is
to become u province of the empire Of JEFF.
Davis, she is surely destined to become a Free
State.
Missouri was one Of the most d0ce satrap-
les OF the Slave Power down 10 the outbreak
Of the Rebellion, always casting her Electoral
\ Vote for whatever was commended as the
| Democratic ticket. Claiborne +. jackson, her
Governor, r. c. Reynolds, her Lieut. Govern.
or, James s. Green and Trusten Polk, her L.
| S. Senators, were all in the couusels Of .thc
traitors, as they have since been in their camps.
Her delegation to the last Congress was
chosen Pro-Slayery, | Frank Blair Repub-
lican, and he through division of hi. oppo-
nent-. Last Fall. she astonishrd herself by
choosing an Emancipation Legislature and five
Emancipationsts TO four others, for Congress.
But for faction and unworthy personal feuds,
two Anti.Slavery L. 5. Senators would have
been chosen, and Emancipation practically I'M
tiated. Missouri il not yet out Of the woods,

Kentucky stands forth solitary and meIan'
choly exception. Her leading Union politicians
and journalists have been intent throughout on
running race with the Rebels for the favor
Of tho slayehOlding interest-a race IN which
they must inevitably be- beaten. Great wisdom
aud prudence are required to e1tricate this
State from the false position wherein she mas

the least heartily loyal of all the States that
nominally adhere to the Union. How could il
