wishing 10 disclaim If not escape the balofu
injunction.
At all events. it il on record that. in none OF
the conferences and quos, negotiations of the
last year, have those who acted for the COnicd-
crates proifered any stipulatons on behalf Of
Slavery or asked any guarantees Tor IT'S perpetu-
lily. Whatever has been suggested in that line
has originated in the North, not the South. and
been proposcd by UnioniSts of the Mcclellan
variety, not by Rebels. We can recall no re-
cent indication that any DisunioniSt would have
Slavery survive the Coniederacy, while we have
ample, overwhelming evidence that the large
and rapidly increasing party of Southern Union
lists concur in the hope and trust that the chiei
cornerstone of Reconstruction shall be Free
dom for All.
The Raleigh journals now published are
known to have been issued there before n

| That both The Standard and The Progress should
ardenty desire and confidently expect the res
toraticn of the Union TO involve the downfall OF
Slavery bv no means surprises us; but II may
possibly a>tonish our Opposition friends,
/ who iancicd that the South could
only be wen back by new prcStra-
| tiops at the footstool OF the demon who plunged
/ her into the abyss of rebellion. The fact that
1 the leading Rebels now admit the downfall OF
Slavery is more conclusive We near OF no dis
sent among them to the opinion volunteered by
John C.. Breckinridgc, Rebel Major-General and
Secretary of War; at the interview between
] Gcns. Sherman and Johnston on the 18Th INST.
1 Said Breckenridge to sherman, 1.-The discussion
| of the Slavery question is at an end. The Con-
stitutonn Amendment forever forlidding Slay-
/ cry is perfectly fair, and Will be accepted III
| that spirit by the people of the South Ina,
/ Gen. Sherman, with q soldiers sincerity, ac'
Iceptcd this as frank and. faithful expression ol
| the prevailing sentiment, is natural explana-
l ton of much that seems Objectionable in Sher-
mans arrangement with Johnston. He may
have been deceived though we do not believe
! be was; but he was justified IN his inference
! that if the Rebels were ready to give up
Slavery a. well as Disunion, there was little 10
| be dreaded from future instructions aud little
need of further fighting
But the Raleigh journals do not stop here
1They demand the dissolution or overthrow ol
l the Rebel State Government and new election

Col. Vance (who was first elected IN 6l by
Union votes, hut has since been won over to d
Ibeartv sympathy with the Rebelion) was last
kyear reelected unfairly, and that he must moi
Ireman Governor under the authority III III,
