Gradual Emancip alton

The standing argument for gradual
emancipation is that IL lie necessary 10
prepare toe slaves for freedom. We
admit that the negro brought up in 3 con
dition Of servitude and utter dependence
is not as well qualified for his own mss
terry as either the white or black man
who is taught from his childhood to
provide Tor himself; but a more ridicu-
lous assumption was never INDUCED In
than that = gradual process of manu-
mission will remedy the defect in his
education. The ground npOn which
the argument chiefly rests is that
slavery is the best school for freedom,
since 1t is proposed in order TO qualify
him for freedom 10 keep him in slavery
for = term of years Il this idea be cor.
rect the slaves Of the Z tied States are
already the best qualified for freedom of
any people in theeworld since they have
been serving in this school all their lives.
IT alter being in ssrvitude for two hun
dred years past, the negro race is not
prepared for liberty, what reason is
there TO hope that five, ten, fifteen or
twenty years more OF the same kind OF
schooling will materially help the mat
ter. The trouble is that the negroes have
served an apprenticeship in slavery too
Gnq already. II slavery hiss disquali-
fed them for an independence, what in
the name of common senseis to be gain
ed by keeping them in slavery longer!
Why not get them out Of it IS soon IS
possible?
If we admit that the end Of negro
slavery in the United States is decreed,
the question of the best mode Of pre-
pairing the negro for change of condi-
ton becomes of the very first import
ance. Shall he be left precisely where
he is, as The preparatory step to this
changer Such is the PROPOSITION of the
GraduAls A man, therefore, who is de-
bAuched by strong drink can be best pre-
pared for sObfiety by being permitted
to drink on 3 few years longer. When,
By remaining in state Of slavery, the
negro will become prepared for freedom,
these gentleman forget 10 tell US. For
this commission we certainly can see the
reason.
The fact about tie matter is, that the
sdvrcate Of gradual emancipation never
will become prepared to admit that the
time has come for the negro 10 be set
free. Why this should be is plain
enough. The same reason which leads
him to oppose the actual Liberation Of The
slave to day will apply just as forcibly
ten or twenty years hence, or any other
time. Hence il is perfectly safe to say
that the gradual emancipaliOnits from
any motive, is no EmsnciPationist at all.
In the State of Missuri in particular, and
anywhere else in times Ike these, no one
will be found urging the pOstponement OF
emancipation, except from The hope that
slavery may in some way be saved alto
geiher, or At least with the desire TO save
II - long ~ it can be done-S.. Louis

THE Observation-Disclosures said, in
the Peninsula, that the British merchant
would stsrve the whole British army for
gold. That breed of knaVes is not yet
extinct. We have men in this country
who hold up their heads among honOra
bic gentlemen, and would wax virtuously
indignant at any aspersiOn Of their in
tegrity, who are secretly furnishing
blockade runners with supplies, and even
sharing with them the enormous gains of
their infamous, blOod-stained traffic. We
have just Ieen statement FROM what
know to be reliable authority, that an in o.
dividual who made his way south on
important private business, snd has lately
returned met in the streets of Ricbmsnd
parties whom he saw buying goods in
January in New York; that be was
offered by an an acquaintance an interest
in a venture for $1,000 that promised
prOdigiOus profit, and he encountered tho
same person IN this city recently with
sterling bills to the amount of S25 900.
Some debtors Of his rendered him paw.
ment in tobacco, TO DO delivered within
our lines. He further stated that goods
are constantly running the blockade, and
the prof on them is fabulous. Shipped
from Northern ports to Nassau, the sell
lers and shippers act IS if ignorant of
their fnal destination. The information
may not be entirely correct, but we have
no doubt there is terrible truth IN il.
We call upon the Government to redouble
its vigilance. Better thousands should
be spent in bringing these knaves to
punishment than millions in averting the
mischief their internal greed is intensity
ing. AS no language is too severe, so
no retfibution can be too terrible fer
men who would coin the blood of our
soldiers into gold, and riot in wealth

thousands, aud the protraotiOn of a
sruggle that cOnvulses the nation

The House cf Representatives on
Thursday was the arena for tho discus
sion Tor two dramatically opposite move
meRts ia national policy, the one worthy,
the other unworthy, of the republic. The
irst OF these Lamentations came from
4 Representative Of Massachusetts, the
bon. d. Baldwin. Rightly estimating
he dignity and just attitude Of the peo-
pie and government Of the Union, and
The crime Of the rebels against their fell
low-cilizsns aud the country, be placed
ais views before the House in a single
preamble and resolution. These en-
bodied the sentiment that, as the combi-
nation at Richmond had no rightful au-
thority over the people Of any portion OF
the National Onion, and no warrant but
that Of conspiracy and treason for any
assumption Of such authority, therefore
sny proposition to negotiate with them
should be rejected without hesitation
~ delay. This resolution Mr.. Cox, Of
Ohio, moved 70 lay on the table. But
the House was Otherwise minded. 1t
vas put 10 the vote, and adopted by
geas 50, nays "a, and the preamble was
.fopted without dissentient voice.
The other movement was made by the
Hon Andrew j. Rogers, Of Nav Jersey,
who gravely proposed that the Federal
Government should appoint commission
ers 10 msetrebeI commissioners IS equals,
and 70 concoct measures Of peace with
them. The mover OF this had the hardi-
hood to say that such an act Of humilia
ton on the part Of the Federal Govern
ment would strengthen Us in the opinion
Of other nations, aud of the loyal people
Of the insurgeut States. We do not envy
the mental constitution Of any man who
could suppose that our natsonsl character
could be elevated by such trucking "a

from Strengthening Us abroad, it would
oe the occasion Of an outburst of co.,
Tempt on the part of foreign nations;
While the loyal men ia the instruction
~ States would abandon forever all the
hopes they have 30 fOndly cherished. Oh
course the House rejscted, summarily,
che humihating proposal, though we re-
greet to Say that fortytwO voted in its
favor. That is about dozen less than
voted for Mr.. f. Woods peace resolu-
tons, and we would fam hope that the
minority will diminish, in ct least the

A BEAUTIFUL PHEEOMEEoN.-0n Sat-
urday morning, directly after sunrise,
there appeared on each side Of the sun,
at distance Of fifteen or twenty degrees
brilliant "parhelion," mock sun, with
rsinbow-tinged projections, curving
slightly inward, reaching downward
nearly TO the horizon. and upward five
or ten degrees. These projections looked
like the outlines of a circular rainbow
which had been commenced and carried
on Ike "fancy" railroad IS far as there
was material to make it, and then stop
ped, and in the center Of each fragment
was the blazing "mock sun" hardly less
brilliant than the original, and looking
very like that great astronomical chsF&c-
er when seen through e light mist.
About 8 o'clock, or q little after they
we're most brilliant, and disappeared
