portancc TO the question Of whether slavery
is abolished everywhere nou, or at the end of
certain specified time after peace is pro-
claimed and the Union restored.
We believe that all liberal Administration
men will be satisfied with the declaration that
we are unal,erably opposed to slavery, and
will never voluntarily lend our influence for
its psrpetuation one hour longer than the res
toration of the Union might require. and that
we shall continue to yield the Administration
a most jealous support in every measure it
may see proper to adopt for putting down the
rebellion and giving liberty to the slave. even
should they not in every particular coincide
with our preconceived views Of policy and

his boon companions .ssDoes he mean his au-
dience, or does he address himsrlf to the
whole Nation, and tell them, if faithful-al.
though h. does not tell to what their fidelity
is to BE- directed-tlley will cut the top root
hf slavery? Does he not see that the militia.
~ power OF the Government, coupled with
the Pres ident's Proclamations of Emancipa-
tion and Amnesty. have already cut the top
root of slavery? Or does he refuse to sec it
in order to make for himself an opportunity
to raise ghost with which to friglten timid
supporters of the Union under tho present
Administration.
In conclusion, would say, that Abraham
Lincoln since he has been chosen to fill the
executive Office of this Nation has done
well, exceedingly well, and it his conservatism
is to be condemned or pronounced either in-
furious or injudicious, the fates forbid that
such as Wendell Phillips, or his stripe.
should succeed him. unless indeed this war is
brought to close before the fourth of March,
'65. opine that Phillips as President, un-
der similar circumstances to those existing for
the three years last past, would make quick
work of breaking up this Nation. Lincoln's
policy is to combine public Sentiment, and
lead it along with him. Philips to distract
public sentiment, SO as TO make many leaders,
creating confusion, which would b. but too
apt to terminate in the ruin of our country
Unity of sentiment is necessary, as we'll as
unity of action, to the consumation of any
great undertaking.
Once upon time, an old man had goose
The goose laid n golden egg every day. The
old mans anxiety to get rich fast. led him to
kill the goose so as to get at the treasure at
once But when he opened the goose he
found nothing Lincoln keeps the goose
alive, and for the general welfare she lays a
golden egg occasionally. Phillips, Fremont
q Co., in their haste would kill the goosc,
and they would find general destruction.

agree. A great diversity Of opinion existed
among sll parties and classes Of mrn. even to
confusion, until Abraham Lincoln by the
wcll-timed exercise Of his superior sagscitY.
dispelled the mist that seemed to prevade
the popular mind. and gave to The country his

the Union. All patriots. lovers Of their
couniry's veal, supporters Of the constitution
and the Union, admired and accepted the
Presidents plan of reconstruction, as in every
way qualified to meet the requirements Of
the country. SO far as plan of reconstruc-
ton under existing circums ances could be
devised. presume that neither Phillips nor
his friends will deny the President to have
led the popular will in that instance. Aud
ON various other occasions has Abraham
Lincoln led the popular will, although Phil
lips processes not to see it.
Another portion Of the spee~h says: "To-

The Conference (at Scarsport) adopted
a series of patriotic resolutions relating to
the state of the country. They recognize
the hand of God in the War in 50 order
ing the course of events as to inspire hope,
with unceasing confidence, that Slavery
will be utterly annihilated.
They reatirm confidence, in the general
policy of the Administration. and held it IA
duty to give the government cordial and
earnest support in thoroughly restoring the
Union on II basis of Liberty.
A. That Slavery has so deeply corrupt
ed and dishonored our Christianity, and
impcrilled the life of the nation, the time
has now fully come, when Christian pat
riotsm and fidelity to the Gospel, demand
that it should be allowed no liberation, no
shield, or lurking place in any Christian
church.
They recognize with greatfnl admiration,
the patriotic self-sacrifce and heroic valor
of the soldiers in our army and navy, and
invoke the continued blessing of God up
on them and their families.
The evening of the 4ih Sabbath in every
month is recommended as IL time for
prayer for eur country.

upon an observer may therefore p operly
supplement or interpret tn Sc pl ra 'es.
Some of the grand traits now develop.
cd, visible and vital, in the army Of the
Potomac, may be traced to the fact that
they exist so largely in its leader, Gener.
al Grant. He is veteran soldier of i'd
domtable spirit; and the carnestness,
rcsoluteness, endurance and unity Of feel
ing of the army Of the Potomac, all have
their type in him. Emerson sagaciously
remarks that the triumphs of the French
army at the opening of this century were
not due alone to the fact it was led by the
great Napoleon, but largely also to the
related fact that all the soldiers who
fought under him were tile Napoleons.
The one circumstance and the other we're
mutually dependent and related.
Certain large considerations, such as
those here set forth, based upon personal
observation, have given me a new and
broader faith in this army, and in the ul-
innate triumph of the cause for which it
does battle. Tne greater part Of its vet.
Grams, whose term Of service has expired,
returned to the field, in order, as they say,
"to seq this thing through A gre.t
portion Of those whose term will expire
in the ensuing months, will also, l believe,
re-enlist; and it only needs that ths
strength of the army may be maintained
and maguiied and the spirit Of the peo-
pie be OF a kind akin to that Of the army,
to insure for our arms perfect triumph.
and for our flag the homage Of the whole
land, and the respect of the world.
