of thieves, more despicable than any in

The idea that such fellows were To have

TO all deceney. It was natural enough,

such men as they, ought nos tD have been
noticed, or any project which they had to

The association was. none the less an insult
to the Government When jeff. Davis

The New York C,Qnnerciol 11duertiser,
which under its present management, has
pot been Republican, but has opposed
majority OF ,the Administrator measures,
in an elaborate dlscdssioh Of the conditions

"But the Southern States, refusing to
look to the legal remedy provided in the
| COnstitutionfor the corFeetionef any wrong
that might be attempted against them, de-

force to establish their Independence, and
the main questiohnow before the people of
the loyal States is whether, after having ex-
perieneed all the possiblejeEils which the
abolition of slavery by violence can entail,
peace shall be made with the Southern
States on conditions that shall leave slavery

and therefore capable of enjoying liberty
as well as himself, The attainment Of this
compensation is due to the people of the
United States and their descendants, and
is in perfect accordance with the law of ma
tons, which is based on common sense,
on natural laws, and on the inherent rights
