We notice that the New York Tribune con.
tinues its advocacy Of the scheme of extinguish.
ing slavery, BY paying for the slaves of such
masters as are willing to sell, out of the Ma.
tional Treasury. /. - NJ


We are as well persuaded that this scheme
will fail to be acceptable to the free States, as
we are that it is founded upon unsound theo.
ries in respect to the institution of slavery.
But it is not upon either Of these points, that
we now propose to dwell.


Without impeaching either the judgment, or
patriotism, Of the Tribune, it is obvious that no
such scheme is consistent with the present
Union of these States. Those Of them who in.
tend to hold on to the system of negro labor,
will never consent to be taxed, to enable others
to get rid of it. Indeed, il is not upon the
theory Of the continued Union of these States,
that the Tribune presses the scheme, but as an
inducement TO certain ones of the Southern
States, and especially Maryland, to separate
from the South and remain with the North
The whole thing contemplates dissolution Of
the Union.

In looking over the programme Of constitu.
tional amendments recently proposed by Judge
Douglas, we discover one, enarging the Pres
identiAl term to six years. It is certainly Of.
fered at most inopportune moment.


We are Just 6nishing off with the last Of two
Presidents, both of whom broke down in the
first year Of their respective administrations,
and both Of whom during their last three years
conducted public affairs in perfect defiance of
the popular will. To say nothing of vetoes,
their whole course Of policy upon the Kansas
question in its various phases, was palpably
not upheld by even their own parties. These
facts do not favor an enlargement Of the Pres.
idential term, or incline the people to invest
the Presidential Office with greater power. 1t
is not just after witnessing the insolence Of two
men, who became Indifferent to all remon.
stances, because sheltered by q four years
term, that they will be likely to convert it into
six years term. There are, indeed, interests
and persons who would be pleased with the
change. All such as are conscious Of want
of capacity to command popular support, must
see that the chance of favor from an Executive
power made independent of public control, is
valuable. And it is, doubtless, to conciliate
those interests and those persons, that this
amendment of Judge Douglas is proposed.


In another respect, it is most inopportune.
We are now just in the very midst Of struggle,
the git of which is the unwillingness of a de-
feated political interest to submit to the loss
of the Presidency. 1t is, of course, obvious,
that the ferceness of the contest for that prize,
and the danger of violent resistance to the con;
stitutonal results of it, will be augmented pre-
cisely as the magnitude of the prize is aug
mented. While it is yet doubtful if we can bear
the strain of decision upon contest for
Presidency of four years, it is a most strange
proposition to aggravate the strain by extend
ing the Presidency to six years. If Judge
Douglas had suggested its reduction to two
years, there would have been more sense in it,

There are persons in onr own State as we'll
as elsewhere, who are apparently getting out
OF patience in this trying period in our ma
tional history. Some of this lass are irrita-
bio and excited and must blame somebody
because the wheels Of State and the march of
armies do not progress more rapidly. Among
those in authority who come in for share Of
public censure, we have noticed some strict
ures upon the tardy movements of our Gov
crnor. The present national troubles have
involved the Governors of the loyal States in
great responsibilities and labors. They have
made prompt and noble response to the call
of the general Government for the means of
suppressing the rebellion. In discharging
these onerous duties, Gov. Fairbanks has not
been remiss. Considering the condition Of
the militia of this State, Vermont has acted
nobly, and the Governor has spared no pains
to give Vermont the position to which its pa
triotism aspires in this great struggle for ma

The present Governor of our State is a
man Of undoubtcd integrity, loyalty, and
business capacity, and in this crisis has put
forth efforts, and exhibited an executive abil.
ity that should entitle him to gratitude and
confidence, rather than reproach. We think
it unfortunate for our cause that moro har-
mony is not developed among the friends Of
the Union, and that so much effort is made
to weaken public confidence in the men whose
movements are so intimately connected with
the strength and efficiency of the Government.
A correspondent of the Burlington Times
thus refers to the recent efforts Of Governor
Fairbanks


mo sooner had the two regiments now in
the field been sent forward, than he set about
organizing two more as well as a company of
sharp shooters and battery Of artillery. The
aatillery he had to give up, because the War
Department, after having agreed to accept it,
changed its mind and refused to take it on
any terms. 1t was justly thought that the
public service would be promoted by incor-
poratiDg into the new regiment as much of
the material of the first regiment as possible,
necessarily occasioned little delay, which
was enhanced, without the Governors fault,
by its long stay at Brattleboro'. Now, ev-
crything is moving rapidly and successfully
forward in the immediate fitting out of the
two new regiments, and this, too when as is
understood, our members of Congress have
urged the Governor not to 60 50 fast, nor on
so large scale as he is doing"

A gentleman, established at New Or

says that the feelings against the North are
intense and vehement; that the troops Of
the Confederate States consist largely OF
planters sons, accustomed to the use Of
firearms and to fatigues, aud are excellent
soldiers. The people Of the South are
much less excited than those of the North
they have a sense of strength, and do not
at all doubt OF the success Of their cause.
There is no lack of provisions; according
to his report the crops are excellent and
abundant. They rely On the importance
Of their cotton crop. Europe must have
cotton, and will interfere forcibly for it,
New Orleans has never been so quiet, 80
peaceable, as since April last no MUIR
ders nor assassinantions have tecn COM
mitted as before. Their available forces
are moving to the North. Money will be
raised in the South, he says, with more
facility than in the North, as the South is
unanimous in carrying on the struggle
aud disposed to make sacrifices.
