The Policy owned Up.

In the letter of Secretary Seward &C.
knOwledeing the evidence of German SYM
patty with the United States, it will be
seen that he admits that the abolition Of
slavery which be denominates impartial
freedom" "has become identified with the
cause of of the American Upion."
This is owning up the truth, and vcrifes
the predictions CT the Democrats. The
Abol'tiOnists have been working to bring
this about ever since tue war commenced.
and the Administration has finally fallen into
their hands. The war is therefore waged
for negro freedom and suhiugatlon.

Concerns US very little.
However, concerning the conscription
law, we will say that we regard it as most
odious and Unconstitutional measure-and
what will add to its unpopularity is the
fact that radical partisans of the Re

selected to enforce its provisions. 1t is true,
as in the case Of this district, many of them
may be men Of honor and integrity, but
still it does NOS look right that these Off.

are to be affected by it. Fair play dictates
that one, at least, of the three draft com.
missioners for each district, should be
