sHs PUBLIC SEELrNe ON raj QUESTION OF ARnrse
THE SLAVES.
from the Richmond Enquirer.1
The question Of slave soldiers has worked ie way to
public consideration in spite Of Cabinet cautions and
tails ami difficulties admitted; but there is one sgnid
fact connected with these discussions. There Is
universal consent that II II b. demonstrated that slaves
slavery be used TO insure independence OF
the State OF Virginia. that any sacrifice Of interest
pejudcs will be made 10 insure that object paramount
10 all others. II is by certain that employ
OF slaves soldiers indispensable TO the safety
or the country There yet remains many resources
which should DO FIRST dedicated 70 that purpose before
II Ii by means certain that any ultra measure OF
gradual general emancipation would attain the pur
pose OF freedom There Is no proposition from European
Powers guarantee Independence upon condion or
snianc patton There Is that those Powers
could execute such guarantee.
