The impelliug motive to treason in
every view you may take of it was and
is Slavery. And it is just in proportion
as man in the loyal section is in favor
of Slavery that he sympathizes with the
Rebellion. There is no use in beating
round the bush in this matter; there is
but one cause to this Rebellion, aud that
cause is Slavery. We must seize the
opportunity offered by this Rebellion to
make another rebellion impossible.
Article V. of the Constitution of the
United States provides that "the Con-
grcss whenever two-thlrds of both
Houses Shall deem it necessary shall pro-
pose amendments to this Constitution,
which shal! I've valid to all intents aud
purposes when ratified by the Legisla-
lures of three-fourths of the several
States, or by conventions in three fourths
thereof, as the one or the other mode of
ratification may be proposed by Con-
gress." In accordance with this provi-
sion PROPOSE ion has been introduced
into the United States Senate 10 amend
the Constitution so as 10 prohibit Sla-
very everywhere within the limits of the
Republic.
The prospective reorganization Of con-
qnercd States upon free basis makes
the adoption of this amendment practi-
cable. Maryland Is so committed to
Emancipation that it is impossible but
that her vo.e would be cast for it. Ar.
kansas has already elected IA Provisional
Governor and declared for freedom, and
will, he earliest practicable moment,
frame a new Con>litu ION, in which Sla-
very, already abolished by the Procla-
nation, viii not be recognized. Lou,si-
ana Is III the same condition. The
" Ba tIc-cry Of F.eadom' has also re-
echoed through the mountains of Ten
ncssee, and Andy Johnson, the patriotic
aud honest representative of his native
State, is as outspoken for Emancipation
to-day as the most radical man in the
country Every loyal Emancipat:onist
in Southern State demands that the
Republic hereafter shall be constituted
OF free States only. 1t cannot be claim.
ed that the adoption of this amendment
will be uncous utional, for it is directly
authorized by the Constitution. The
people understand that Slavery is the
patlon's greatest enemy, and wall never
rest satisfied until it is crushed beyond
all hope Of rcsurrec ion.
There is no doubt that the Union par
ty everywhere, except in Kentucky, is
ant'-Slavery, and even there it is rapid
y developing into an aniSlavcry party.
II believes that If Slavery were destroy
ed the Union would be restored, aud
that there can be no restoration worthy
Of the name without the destruction of
Slavery. Why waste time in SHRINKING

sensations OF our enemies? 1t is a good

A SINGULAR RoMANCE.-Some thirty four
years az a young man left his bride in An .
st rdam, with the object of proceeding to
America in order to better his position. -
Soon after his arr al he wrote to his wife
enclosing i certain sum of money to enable
her to proceed to New York to Join him.
This letter was sent to his brother who kept
the money, destroyed the letter, concealed
the whole matter from his sister-in, law rep
resented to her husband that she had died,
and forthwith left the country. Her husband
in the course of time married second wife
in New York he succeeded well in bust
ness, while his wife in Amsterdam regarded
him as dead, and was making arrangements
for her second marriage. That event,
however, never occurred for her second
lover died few days before the day fixed
for the wedding. Her husband, meanwhile,
last year lost his New York wife, and hav.
ing made "a fortune, which he was unwilling
to subject to the risks of war, he disposed
Of his business, and short lime ago re-
turned to Amsterdam to see once more the
place OF his birth. During those thirty four
years of absence the few friends he had had
died or otherwise vanished; ut accident
brought to light the fact that the bride he
had left behind him was still alive. She,
indeed, during all this time had lived IN
| comparative penury; but he is rich. The
bride aud bridegroom of thrty.tour years
ago, somewhat changed in externals, are
again husband and wife.
