These utierances do seem to establish the fact

In lie full length and breadth, the negro'freeing
and Union. .dlssolving policy of the Leader and
The radicals. Bot some conservative Republi-
cans and others sympathizlng with them, think
that Mr.. BRouoH 10 no. really 80 thorough q

therefore, desire him to answer fairly and
squsrely without evasion the following ques-
tions: ...--.. .sr
Do you hold, Mr.. BRouoH, that the Pfoclama-
tions Of Emancipation Of Sept ~, 1852, and
Jan. /, 1863, have put IL out Of the power Of
the Pfs,ident and the Government to recognise
any State 90 In the Union with all its rights no
der the Constitution Of holding slaves IN
cluded-u -unimpairedl Do you agree with the
Leader that the President has now no choice be-
tween his negro-freeing rroclsmations and the
dissolution of the Union; bus must ct all events
and come what viii, abide By the iormer7 Do
you regard his pledge In his ptcclamations to
the negroes 90 Of higher obligation and more
sacred and binding than his oath to protect and
defend The Constitution, and his consequent OBJ
legation to MAINTAIN the Union1 In fine, do you,
Mr.. BRouaH, hold itasan indispensable condition
to the restoration Of any seeded State to the
Union that slavery therein must be destroyed
