In another column will'be found the cor
rsspondenos between President Lincoln
and "a Committee appointed by the plant
ers o; Louisiana" prorosing return Of
the State to its full Hllegancci the General
Government recognizing al their ghts of
the State as they existed previons to the
passage Of an act of seco 7aior. TAis pro-
position involves grave and Beigbty coz
siderations. Should the government grant
the request of the Committee, and give au-
thority to sot, without reservation, under
the existing State Constitution, it would
be in Gerogation of the Presidents Eman-
cipation Proclamation of January last.
The President declines to aceede to the
proposition, on the ground that a respect
able portion Of the people desire to amend
the State Constitution, and contemplate
holding Convention for that purpose
Thus, quietly, has the President waived
the question aside for the present, without
compromising the principles or pledges Of
his proclamation.
There is an intimatiOn that movement
il being inaugurated in North Carolina, to
restore that State to its allegiance to the
Government. How should seeded States,
Offering to return to their allegiance, be
received? Not as slave States, certainly,
for the President has proclaimed freedom
forever to the slaves Of rebel States, and
has pledged the whole executive power Of
the Government to secure them in the en-
ioyment of freedom. Once free, forever
free The Government cannot make s
slave. 1t is not in the power Of the Exc
outive (were he SO disposed, and We trust
be is mott to re-enslave those whom his
proclamation has rendered free, BY any
terms of arrangement for the return to
their allegiance of rebel States.
The executive Government has now no
choice but TO protect the emsncipsted in
the enjoyment of their freedom. 1t is the
glory Of q benign Government, that its
protecting agis is over the poorest and
weakest, as well as over the richest and
most powerful Of its people.

he was informed Of the excitement which
prevailed, and instead of proceeding to
the Tribune Office stopped in at Windusts
restaurant, corner of Park Row and Ann
street. Safely inside, he sent word to his
friends in the Tribune Office, but it was not
deemed prudent for him to go through the
streets to the Office He staid ct Windust's
until dark, philosophicslly employing him
self in writing during his involuntary
imprisonment.
Word was sent to his associates in the
Tribune office, and shortly before dusk a
carriage closely curtained drew up before
the entrance in Ann street. Four police
men were in the carriage, and they sent
word to Mr.. Greeley, who shortly after is
sued from the door, closely buttoned up
and disguised, as well as be could be, IN
his ordinary dress, and got into the car
riage attended by two friends, who were
understood to be well armed with re-
VolVers.
The door was closed, the curtains closely
pinned down, and the carriage was driven
up Broadway through the midst of the
crowd that would certainly not have paid
Mr.. Greeley any marks of respect had they
known he was so near. ....
