DrST in all things and NEUTRAL in nothing, taking
liberal hand in all the controversies Of the day..
This shall be an unconditional Union journal, hold

Intervention, national jealousy and hatred, double
dealing, and pracal cowardice have been govern
ing principles with England; and when our home
troubles are settled will advocate giving England
turn. The whole course of the Emperor of tho
French has been characterized by diplomatic insn-
cerity; and truly loyal American journal can en-
terrain no other feelings toward Napolson than
those of hatred and contempt.
The everlasting Negro question brought on this war
the corrupt leaders of the South alleging that 1t
was necessary to render the peculiar institution"
secure, when it wds secure under the Constitution,
and could never be anywhere else. 1t is now
no longer the ioca but the trGreling institution Of
the country; and | have no sympathy with any
Southern Disunonist who has lost his slaves
Slavery has been destroyed, and the South has done
it. without any proyocation whatever. This posi-
ton will openly take and stubbornly maintain.
