The Examiner finds something TO approve in the
PfeeGent-tO wit bis statement to the Yankee EN-
safy Gilmore alias Krae, that "Fe are not fighting for
slavery; We are 6ghtng for independence" On which
the Examiner remarks
The sentiment il true, end should be publicly ut cred
and kept picuously in view, because our enemies
have diligently labored to make mankind believe that
the people o. these Staies have set up pretended
Safe sovereignty aud based themselves upon that 0s
ensiby while their real object has been only to @
serve to themselves the property in 20 many negro
worth so many millions Of dollars The direct rsverse
is tie tub the question OF Slavery is cny one OF tee
minor Issues and the eau of the war the whole cause,
on our part is the maintenance of tho sovereign indie
pendencs OF these States.
Considering tie character Of the Yankee rsca and
their conduct in the war, the Examiner revuts from
the contemplation Of lha possibility OF being subugaed
by such cats, and being obliged to live for the fctare
under the dominion of such ErecbsF The dsa 1t says,
is not more horrible than grOtsqus, not more alarming
than irritating.
