Kmancipation Courenrion.

We have quoted from the Toledo Blade
its grounds Of opposition to the plan Of
holding the Emancipation Convention in
this city. The Toledo Commercial thus
comments upon the matter:
"The Convention suggested by the
LEADER is one TO be composed Of the
friends Of the emancipation policy Of the
Government, and its object is to uphold
| that policy, and contribute in all practical
ways to its success. II is not proposed; as
we understand, to enquire as to the differ
ent reasons by which different persons
may be governed in giving it their sup
port the fact Of thorough and hearty sp-
proyal will entitle them to seat in the
Convention.
"In movements Of this character, we
must act on the presumption that we are
dealing with reasonable men, and men
honestly desirous Of the success of the
Government Giving to the friends and
supporters Of the Proclamation, Of every
kind, the credit Of being persons Of ordi-
nary Judgment and sincerity, we are at q
loss TO perceive any force in the Blades
objections. Certainly no reasonable man,
who favors the Proclamation, will oppose
it because it may be supported by others
for reasons different from his own. He
viii rejoice that such Is the fact and give
all p0ssiblg al and encourak ksnsnt and
use all honorable and legitimate argu-
ments which may induce others to take
the same position. Nor does it follow, as
the Blade assumes that those who see no
warrant for emancipation BY Federal
power, upon grounds other than that Of
military necessity, will take no part in an
Emancipation Convention. This is to take
it for granted that such persons are op-
posed to emancipation upon every ground
but that of necessity, when, in fact, the
only objection on the psrt Of the great ma
iority Of the North has been the want of
power in the General Government to abol-
ish slavery. That objection is now re-
moved, and they are thorough emancipa-
tionists in every respect. This, we ven
ture to say, is the position Of at least nine
tenths Of those who support the Proclsma-
ton; and it should be borne in mind also,
that the events of the past two years have
very much changed the views of the few
in the North who honestly defended slav-
cry on principle.
"The object of the proposed Convention
is TO secure concert and unity of action
among the friends Of emancipation and
it is giving them little credit for good
judgment to assume that they cannot &C.
complish this object, or that the ConYen-
ton will have any other effect"

NEW YORK, Feb. Is.
The London Globe notices as the most

growing feeling in Richmond, New York
and Washington favorable to negotiations
for the settlement of difficulties.
The Shipping Gazette remarks should
the EmperOr's proposal be rejected, he has
apparently but one alternative, to reoog-
niZe the South and raise the blockade. Il
may be taken for granted the offered ne
gotistions will be rejected, and that a
compulsory cessation of hostilities or mar
atime war with the North will follow.

Mrs. Jane Swisshelm is in Washington,

back to one Of the papers, she says:

'hlimited spread of the institution, are all
9uriously indignant at McClellan's remov-
a, and demand his restoration. If any
thing could prove the terrible peril our
country was in during his regime, this
would be abundant evidence. Has she es-
capped that peril7 is the question, or would

In CAMP, NEAR FRAEKFoRT, KY,
February 10, 1858.
EDITOR LEADER: Some time has elapsed,
I presume, since you have heard from Shields
Battery. The reason of such silence is very
obvious. In our perambulations through the
State, nothing of startling interest has &C.
CURED, nothing that would bear reciting to
your readers. With the exception of the
presentation of magnificent horse outft'
to Captain Shields, by the members of the
Battery, at DanviIle, and the expected attack
of John Morgan on our brigade-(which he
didn't make)-at that point, absolutely moth
ing has transpired up to the last few weeks
that would bear repeating. VIZ
Since We came to Frankfort two Of eur
men have died in Hospital, the news coming
upon us with understanding every one
feel gloomy. 1t came home to US, assure
you, for they were the first in the Battery
whose lives have been offered up to the great
monster, Secession. They we're much ro-
spected by all the Battery, and will not soon
be forgotten. The friends of the deceased
may rest assured that all of US sympatbize
with them in their bereavement.
Ever since We came into this Ca1hp il has
been one grand succession of storms. First.
we had snow, an immense fall of it, followed
by thaW; and then we had mud. Then We
had rain then II froze, and after swhiie the
sun eOndeseended to shine, and through its
genial influence we were favored with mora
mud. In fact, like the Army of the Poto-
mac, We are :" stuekin the mudY all the tine.

Four Reasons for Making Paper Duty
Free.

Four Reasons for Making Paper Duty
Free.
From the New York Evening Post.l
We submit to Congress the following
four reasons whyit should at once declare
paper duty free.
l. The combination Of paper-makers to
raise the price Of this necessary article has
already deprived great many Of the poor
people of their daily newspaper. This is
an injury to them and to the country; but
1t puts money into the pockets Of few
wealthy paper manufacturers.
z School books have already advanced
twenty-five per cent. OF Webster's SPELL
ing-books over million year are sold /;
the price has been raised recently from
sixty-hEe to ninety cents; all school-books
have gone up in proportion. This takes
money out Of the pocket Of every father
and mother in the land-to enrich a few
already wealthy paper manufacturers.
3. The Secretary of the Treasury reports.
ohclally, to the Senate, that in his opin-
ION " the reduction Of the duty on printing
paper would not lessen the revenue from
that source, but would tend largely to in
crease 1t. Thus il seems the present duty
on paper actually deprives the country Of
revenue, that few wealthy paper manu-
facturers may retain q monopoly Of a
necessary article of consumption. 1t is
the highest duty Of Congress to protect
the people against such injustice.
4. Mr.. John D. Defrees, Superintendent
Of Public Printing at Washington, reports
officially, that TO take the duty off paper
will save the Government 100000 Der
annum. This sum now goes into the
pockets Of the paper monopolists. If Con-
gress takes off the duty, it will go into the
pockets of the people.
If more reasons are wanted for passing
an act demanded by -expediency, by com
mon sense, and resisted only by a selfish
combination Of wealthy monopolists, we
can give yet others.
