The eFInaIsettIcment with the Rebel
t States.
/ From the New York Postl
We learn that already some attempts
have been made by the peace democrats
as they are called, to sound the President
in regard to readmitting the rebel states
into the Union with the right of property
in slaves acknowledged. The time will
come-perhaps is nearer at hand than we
suppose-when these instances will ne re-
newed with tenfold earnestBess. The sub.
jugation of the rebels is written so dis.
tinctly in the book of. destiny that the
most dim sighted among us already read
it from altar, aud when the hour of their
submission arrives, as it surely must, our
good natured President will be assailed
with all manner of opportunities to recede
from the ground taken in his proclamation,
! of the absolute, unconditional emancipa-
ton of the slaves within the region which
| owns the authority of the rebel govern
trate, at such time, to have a reputation
, for great good nature and strong desire
to satisfy those with whom he has to deal.
Mr.. Lincoln most assuredly will be entreat-
| ed, coaxed, and, so far as may be deemed
prudent, buIlied, to induce him to depart
| from the ground he has taken, and adroit
batteries will be mingled with no less adroit
menaceB. .l--.lsE
None of the democratic press which in-
sist that our government should hold forth
| the olive branch, and which pirate of re-
conciliation while the rebels are yet in
arms, pf1laging our commerce on the seas,
and hanging men an women in the South
west for their attachment to the Union,
have given the slightest intimation of a
willingness 10 settle with the rebels on the
basis of Mr.. Lincoln's proclamation of free
dom to tho shave. No such aFFangemeut
| is within the scope of their plans. The
freemen are to be re-enslayed the enfran-
| chised are to be disenfranchised the fst-
ters which that glorious edict struck from
their limbs are to be forged anew and fas
tened on their ankles and wrists, and the
act which has been, in the eyes of mankind,
the glory of the American government, is,
if these men succeed in their purpose, to
be rescinded and disowned as if it were
deed of shame. n
Our readers recollect how noisily the
opposition press assailed the proclamation
of freedom to the slave, the moment it ap.
Peared. as measure without force or eff.
feet, which would make no difference what.
| ever in the relations between the master
and his bondman, and would never, while
the world stands, give freedom to single
slave. The effort now will be to make good
that prophecy of evil. If the Administra-
tion can be induced to recall its solemn act,
| if It can be pursuaded to admit, even in a
| lqualifed degree, the authority of the slave
owner in the rebel states, their pediction
will become true. The proclamation will
have proved to be nothing but idle aud
empty noise. If, on the other hand, the
President adheres firmly TO the letter of
his proclamation If he holds with the
| fathers of our republic, and with Andrew
Jackson, to the noble doctrine thatta man
once free eau never be made slave, what
! ever were his former condition, the proc
| lamation takes its place among the great
est aud most glorious acts Of enfanchise-
ment of which the world has seen any,ex-

1t will not be surprising, therefore, If
the peace democrats should bend their en-
tire energies in this direction. By induc-
ing tue President to recede from she step
he has taken they will gain threefod
| of the credit il has won by, the proclama-
tion, and disgrace it in the eyes of the
world. They will disappoiut the expecta
tions ofsthe party " hich supports the Adj
| ministrAtiou, aud achieve a signal triumph
for their own. They will secure for their
own faction, now growing mora feeble from
day to day, the favor of the slaVeholding
class, in every State readmitted into the
Union. To that class, even If the rescind-
ling of the proclamation be veiled under a
pretext Of gradual emancipation, they will
| leave its wealth, its pre-eminence and ITS
| influence, and by the help Of that class,
restored, as it will be, to its former con-
sideration, they may hope to regain their
| late ascendency in the councils of the ma
tion. 3 CI .EEt Il Vi 81 II ~ a
If the question were, but the ordinary
oue,s which Of two political parties. shall
be nppsrnaost? it would be of far less-con-
Esequence than itinow is, when the future
peace aud quiet of the country depend on
adheriug to the policy of emsncipation.-
A peace purchased by receding from that
policy will be but hollow truce, in the
womb of which would lurk other tnsur-
rections and rebellions, ready to break out
in civil wars whenever an occasion like
thatof 1851 should arise. Suffer the reb-
el States TO return TO the Unfon with the

cessiul in their revolt, take their old
