LEGATION on the 18th. Its articles attract at
tention from its alleged special source ofin-
Blair's mission to Richmond:
We are enabled, from special sources of
information, to give specifically the terms
which Lincoln forwarded to Davis, through
Blair, as basis Of pacification. They are
as follows:
i. The abolition Of slavery to be lef, to
the State Legislatures az to time and cir
but slavery to be abolished.
2. The Confederate States to return to the
Union with the same rights and privileges,
- when they le.tit.
8. The Confederate army not to be dis.
banded but incorporated With the Federal
army tor foreign war.
4. In the restored Union the past to be
forgotten.
The second Of these propositions being
rejected at once by Davis, it became un-
necessary to consider the others.
In reference to this document, we would
call the special attention of our readers
drst, to the fact that we know on uudoubt-
ed authority, that had Blair not been in
vested with full powers from Lincoln, be
would not have been received by Davis.
2. To the fact that Lincoln abandons
by his own proclamation,
leaving the question to separate State ac-
ton, and :, 70 the fact that the policy OF
his Government. points directly to foreign
aggression.

their paraphauaiia was smashed TO atoms,
and the hall had to be closed by the police.

law. The Emperor gracious
~ received his explanation.
