as the best means for solving this as well
as every other complicated question.
1t Will thus be seen that two great Euro
pean wars may arise out of the Schleswig-
Holstein dispute; one between the Govern
ments Of Austria and Prussia and the Ger
man people, and, secondly, one between
Germany and England, and perhaps other
Grand Powers. Both would seem to be al
most inevitable.

Tie N. Y. Times, if we have clearly appre-
hended its article OF Saturday, would Ike to
discuss with US the relative merits of two of the
diverse plans Of reconstruction now before
the country. We prefer TO postpone this for the
present. If we clearly comprehend what Is going
on about US, tho Democratic party, seeing that
Slavery has destroyed itself by its most insane
Rebellion, has about decided not to immediate
itself on the corpse Of The suicide, nor be buried
in its grave. That strikes us ~ q sagacious do.
eision, indicating return to that party of some
portion Of its ancient shrcwdncss aud patriotism
Believing it most auspcious for the future of our
country, we shall rejoice to see that party take
so sensible a position, though we foresee that it
clouds the prospect Of easy success and assured
predominance which seemed to open before our
political associates and friends.
Now, it may be, as TIE Times argues that
the Democratic plan Of settling the great con-
troyersy By constitutional amendment is not
the most feasible. 1t is possible--we do not
think it probable-that some have given re-
luotant assent to it, ana will fly the track if
ever the temptation to do so shall be presented
But it certainly seems to us desirable and sign
of promise that tho two great parties shall unite
in saying, "SlayGry is dead--a thing of the
past--it has killed itself outright by trcason-it
cannot be resuscitatcd- its offensive re-
mains may BIO kept long above ground, to the
annoyance and damage Of us all-let us unite
to bury them promptly and efTectually, end
with the least possible harm or injustice to the
survivors" If we can but substantially agree
so far, we may diffor, If we SEQ fit about means,
and ways, without serious prejudice or peril to

ton Of Slavery.
That is all for tho present. At proper time
we will consider canaidly the rival plans of "re.
construction" We only await substantial
agreement-which We hope is at hand--as "a
what it is that is to be reconstructed.

The Telegraph Dispatch from San Francisco
which we published on Thursday last stating
that thc Alabama was OF Annoy was nnqnestlon-
ably right as to the fact but wrong in date-tbe
goth of January. As she is reported by the
news received by the Africa to have been on The
9TH of that month as 80 miles south of Rangoon,
in British India, the error in dates may lead to
confusion and doubt. The priyateer was m
doubtedly at Annoy. bur it was not till the l7tn
Of January. Such is the intelligence received
at the State Department at Washington from
our Minister at Japan, Mr.. Pruyn. The Wy
oming held her under strict blockade, and was,
no doubt, joined a few days later by the James
town, which vessel had sailed from the coast OF
Japan for Annoy in December. There is every
reason to hope that wes shall ere long hear OF the
capture or destruction Of this pest Of the seas.

ton which Washington's latest worldly act
gave to negro emancipation. Those who seek
the abolition Of the institution are usually
charged with zeal too fcrvid, an enthusiasm
unbridled, policy impracticable and theory
insane and fallacious. Now, If there was ever
man utterly without fanaticism--a man who
guarded against acting upon mereimpulse as he
would have guarded against the commission Of
crimc--a man who originally warm-tempered
had brought all the passions Of bis nature under
perfect control, that man was George Washing
ton. His native temper was warm ore, hut
so thoroughly had lac curbed ii, so nicely bad he
educated it to submission, that only once or
twice during the war did it get the better OF
him, and those occasions have been considered
remarkable enough to merit special historic
record. There arc those who tell US that an
Abolitionist must necessarily be hot-hcadcd,
disregardlul of all prudent considerations, the
mere sport of doctrinal wind, and the unques-
tioning servant of his own fervid emotions.
The character Of Washington was the very op-
posite of this. 1t would have been impossible
Cor him to commit an eStravagant act, or to har-
Dor an extravagant thought. His nicely-bal-
anced nature recoled from the spectacle OF
Human Slavery, because tho logical
accuracy of bis mind a5 once detected
its political fallacy--because his uneung judg-
ment discovered it's wastefllness aid IMPROVE
deuce-because bis intuitiye equity condemned
its persona, wrong-because his serene benevo-
Ience, so Ike the benevolenoe of the gods, could
i'll brook systemati2ed denial of happiness to
man. And what he thought, he did not fear to
utter. Il was easier to speak the truth in Viz
GINA then than Il has been since; for the gen.
tlemen Of the Old Dominion were at that time
less suspicious, and less addicted to the argu-
ment of the sword, the bludgeon, or the pistol;
but if it had been never SO dangerous for Wash
ington to publish bis opinions, there was no
man living who could have bid him hold bis
peace when he saw fit TO speak.
1t certainly seems strange 10 Us that the foes
of Emancipation viii SO persistently ignore the
fact that the Abolition of Slavery was first sug-
gested by Virginian statesmen, who were them
selves stakeholder. These men were nearer
tho infancy Of the Republic than we are-they
knew what doctrines of human equality the
Revolution was intended to yindicate and estah-
ieh--they felt, as We can neyerleel, tie pressure
Of strictly logical conclusions; ond when they
are made the sponsors Of modern iniquity by
oold.heartcd crayens and white-lyered compro-
msers, it seems TO US that an Outrage is COM
mitted analogous to tie Dissertation Of their
tombs.
