THE POLICY OF EMANCIPATION
WORDS OF A TRUE DEMOCRA'I’.
To Man. Kdauird .1/. Stanton, Swn'tary of War
My political antecedents are known to
you. Always a Democrat, but never a
pro-slavery Democrat; opposed in prlnci
cle, and feeling, from my youth up, to hu
man slavery, but believing, until recently,
that in the interests of liberty itself, it
was the part of wisdom in the North to
abstain from interference with the danger
fraught domestic institution of the South,
and to trust to time for its eradication:
opposed, with a hereditary aversion to
war, I was willing before the sword was
drawn to make any honorable cohcesslons
that might avert its horrors.
But political convulsions bring with them
great lessons and now duties. War would
not, under Divine economy, have been
permitted as iu all past ages it has been,
if it had not its mission. But to attain
the good it brings, we must recognize its
necessities.
No civil war of proportions so gigantic
sis .that now raging ever existed in the
world before. It diifers from till others,
both in the results sure to ensure from its
protraction beyond a brief period, and in
the conditions under which, out of evil, it
may enervate in good. In calculating
these, time is an easessial element.
Seven or eight hundred millions are
spent. At the best, as much more is
likely to go. Two-thousands millions or
upwards is not an' improbable total. That
is half the national debt of England ; and
the interest, on it (probably at almost
double the rate she pays) will make our
annual burden nearly equal to hers. If
the war lasts three years longer, these
figures may be doubled. It must not last
three years longer, unless we are willing
to risk national bankruptcy.
How is it to be terminated ?
By concession ? - That is no longer in
our power. We can buy a truce, a pause,
by concession to tlie South; nothing more.
By force of arms, then? But if by
force, it must be quickly done. Delay is
defeat.
And it must be effectually done. Al
ter one such'war the nation may revive,
its energies still classic; solvent still, and
respected. A second will ruin it finan
cially, to say nothing of worse ruin.—
To save the country, then, the war must
not terminate without a sufficient guaran
ty against its resumption.
How can the war be quickly and effect
ually terminated'? ! What guaranty is suffi
cient that it will not be resumed ?
Gradually, as this contest proceeded,
have 1 been approaching the conviction
that there is but pne such guaranty; the
emancipation of negro slaves throughout
this Continent. Perhaps—but as, to this
I am less certain—that measure is the on
ly sure means of terminating, quickly and
effectually, this war. The recent reverse
under General McClellan, the scattered
rebel fires daily bursting forth in States
which our forces had already overrun, the
fact that we are ; fighting against brave
men of our own race, all increase the prob
ability that we must deprive the South of
a legal right to ils four millions of labor
ers, before we cap succeed against their
masters in a reasonable jtime and in : an
effectual manner. • '

LETTER FROM P.OBKKT HALE OWEN
AjLTOONA,. PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1862
short-cuts gut of a difficulty. I ain not
in favor of j violating the Constitution by
way of escaping a danger. There might
be immediate advantage, but the prece
dent is replete with peril.
Could slavery have been abolished, by
Northern action, while peace yet existed
between the North and South, without a
violation of the Constitution ? In other
words, without a revolutionary 7 act?—
Clearly not. Can. slavery be eradicated
now in war without such violation ? If
emancipation be necessary to insure the
permanent peace and safety of our Gov
ernment, and if we are willing to pay to
all loyal slave owners a reasonable price
for their slaves, clearly yes. v
For no principle in law is better estab
lished than this: That when important
public interests demand it, private prop
erty may' be taken at a fair appraisement,
for public use. The opening of a street
in improving a city,, the running of a rail
road,are held in this and in other civilized
countries, itp be objects of sufficient impor
tance to justify, what the French law calls,
“Appropriation Jorcee pour utillite
publique.”
But of importance how utterly trivial
is the opening of a street or of a railroad
compared t<|> the preservation, in its integ
rity, of the greatest Republic on earth.
Ought wp to declare general emancipa
tion, coupled with a provision lor the pay
ment, to all loyal slave holders, of the
fairly appraised value of their slaves ?
This question resolves itself into another:
Have things gone so far that the Union,
in its peaceful integrity and negro slavery
within its’border's, can no longer co-exist !
That is THE GREAT QUESTION OF THE KAY.
I think it must be answered, and now. in
the affirmative. Every month that passes
is converting hundreds of thousands of
moderate, conservative and peace-loving
men to the same opinion. They 7 despair
of sectional friendship or national peace,
until the teeming cause of mortal hatred
and civil war is rooted out forever.
Have we [the means of paying loyal slave
owners a fair price for their slaves ! If |
we act now, 8 before it protrac.ed contest |
has exhausted our resources, yes. If we
wait .the termination of a three or four
years war, very certainly, no. !
In. that price, deportation must not be |
estimated. The South asserts that negro |
slaves are indispensable, to her. That is
only so far true that she does absolutely
need hired negro workmen, and ought not
to be deprived of them. Her agriculture
>vould for a time be ruined without them.
But no good man desires a settlement un
der which any section of our country
would even be temporarily ruined.
Nor can it be doubted that the South,
however strong her prejudices and tradi
tions in favor of owing her laborers, has
herself been brought, by the perils of the
hour, to think seriously of a change of
system as the only means left her to obtain
aid and comfort from Europe. Nor can
all her leaders be wholly blind to the fact
that such a change of system would ad
vance, in the end, beyond calculation, her
material prosperity.
Suppose a declaration to the effect that
the Government, urged by the necessity of
self-preservation', takes at a fair valuation
the slave property of the South. Will
such a' declaration cause a negro insurrec
tion and indiscriminate assassination of
whites throughout the Slave States ? The
result so far, has clearly shown that the
negro, mild and long suffering, and often
attached to, his owner, is little disposed to
resist, under an organization of his own.
Once assured of freedom, he will gradually
join our cause—that is all. He can then
be hired as! a laborer or soldier, as may
seem fit-—payment being made for him, if
his master!proves to be and his ser
vices being confiscated, if these are due to
a rebel. In all this we are clearly in bur
right.
Look now at the question in its foreign
aspect, under the changes of European in
tervention. Be those changes great or
small, intervention may occur, and that
erelong.
If it occur, its character wilT chiefly
depend upon what shall have been the an
tecedent; action of our Government in re
gard to slavery.
Ifj previously to such intervention, we
have issued a; general declaration of eman
cipation, tjieri we shall stand before Eu
rope as the champions of human liberty,
while our enemies will be regarded ds the
advocate of x human servitude. Public
opinion ih England, in France and
throughout Europe generally, will then
prevent the respective Governments from
intervening, except it be in our favor.
No European Government dare place it
self in the attitude of a slavery'protector.
If, on the contrary, we shall have left
the issue j«s it now stands, our policy in
dicated only by the Confiscation act, not
broadly and boldly announced, 'lBnd more
especially if the South, desparing bf sav
ing her favorite institution, concedes, as
the price of foreign recognition; and sup
port, a voluntary system of gradual
cipation—mot at all an unlikely mpve—
then the | sympathy of public opinion
throughout Europe will be with the South,
and will sustain any action in her , favor.
f INDEPENDENT IN , HVEKYTHINO.]
Think, too, in such an event, how
false our position! how low we shall have
fallen in the eyes of the world!"how un
enviable the place we shall occupy in his
tory through all time!
It is idle gasconade to say, .thus situat
ed, we can delay Europe. Let the South,
by conceding emancipation, secure the
sympathy and permanent services of her
four millions of laborers, without action
of ours ; then throw Into the scale against
us the thirty millions of England, the for
ty millions of France—and who shall
say how many tens of millions besides?—
and what chance for success, or reputa
tion, shall we have, struggling for noth
ing nobler than self-existence," in equivo
cal attitude before the world, matched
against opponents who shall have fore
stalled us and assumed the initiative of
progress .!
1 While the contest assumes no higher
character than that of a portion of a great
I nation desiring a separation from the
| mother country and forcibly casting off its
i authority, what more sympathy can we
: expect from Europe than we ourselves
gave to Spain when she lost Mexico, or
to Mexico When Texas struck for inde
pendence? Until the issue is changed,
so that the great question of human lib
■ erty becomes involved in it, we must ex
j pect from European powers at the best -on
ly indifference; coupled probably with the
feeling that as Mexico,; succeeded against
Spain and Texas against Mexico, so wall
a Southern Confederacy finally maintain
itself against us.
That a declaration of emancipation was
not issued a year ago, I do not regret.
Great changes must mature in public
opinion before they can be safely carried
i out. Extreme measures, to be justified
I mid to lie effectual, must often be preced
ied by long-tried conciliation. Yet in na
j tional emergencies it may be as danger
ous to disappoint as to anticipate public
opinion. And I confess my fears for the
result if decisive measures are longer de
layed.
Stand where we are we cannot: and to
go on is less dangerous than to retrace our
steps. We ought never to have proposed
emancipation with compensation to loyal
slave-owners nor declared to the disloyal
as by law we have, that their slaves shall
be liberated without compensation, if we
did not intend to follow out the policy we
commenced. We have incurred the
odium; let Os reap the benefit.
Nor do I perceive how we can free the
slaves of rebels, yet reasonably expect to
retain slavery in the border States, even
in case they persist in refusing the offer of
the President. Having intervened so far,
extirpation of slavery, the only effectual
policy, becomes the safest also.
All men in the North will not acquiesce.
Neither did all acquiesce when the war
was commenced ; yet who that is loyal op
poses it now ? And what would have
been the result had we waited, ere we
commenced the war, for unanimity?
Some will fall off. So be it! There
is small loss in that. And there is some
to gain. Better an open enemy than a
worthless friend. It is time that men
w r ere taking sides. As things now stand
I see no use in conciliating the half loyal.
He who is not for us is against us.
I think the people are ready. I be
lieve that the loyal citizens of the North,
with such small proportion of exceptions
as in radical national|changes must be dis
regarded are to-day prepared for emanci- ,
pation. They have paid for it in treas
ure, in blood; not by their opinion. They
feel that the sacrifices they have made,
are too vast to have been incurred, ex
cept in purchase of a great pledge of per
petual safety and peace.
Reflecting men feel too, that such, a
pledge is a national, not merely a north
ern, necessity. The South, exhausted and
suffering, needs it to the full as much
as we. She. will soon perceive, if
she does not already, that two parts of one
nation, or even two coterminous nations,
can never again exist in amity on this
continent, one slave and the other free.
She cannot but see that fugitive-slave law
difficulties if no others existed, would suf
fice to, prevent this.
It is not the question whether a paper
declaration, easily issued, will or will qot
be followed by a thousand practical diffi
culties. The uprooting of an ancient and
gigantic abuse always involves such. Nor
should we be called upon to predict in ad
vance (for who can entirely foresee?) how
each of these will ultimately be solved.
The true question is, whether greater diffi
culties, even insuperable ones, do not be
set ahy other policy. Pressed home as*
j we are,' to avoid obstacle is impossible,
i Wo can but select the least formidable.
’ The lives of the best of us are spent in
choosing between evils.

THE HISTORY OF A HDHDEED
DOLLAR BTJBSCRIPTIOH.
Among the sums contributed to the
Citizens’ Bounty fund, it will ilie seen,
there is included $lOO from “A : Citi*en,”
through Marshal MUlwaid. Ttte circum
stances under which the subscription was
made are these. i I
The otlt|r day Marshal Mill ward was
riding up Kifth street in a paasqijger car,
past the Buttonwood street hospital. As
he neared the hospital building; he saw
seated in front of the building a man con
nected with the history of the institution,
whose name has been closely mixed up
with that of the notorious female seces
sionist, Mrs. Emilie, and Htho has been
charged with doing far greater good to
rebel prisoners in the hospital than to in
valid soldiers of the Union.
The man was evidently ill at ease, as
his eye caught that of the Marshal. He
had been probably expecting an; arrest;
and as a friend sitting by him said
“The Marshal must be coming for you,”
the Marshal overheard the remark, and
at the same time witnessed its effects.
The Marshal, having a few minutes’ leis
ure, alighted from the car, drew on a sol
emn face, and walked up to the than. “I
told you so, Bill,” said his friend.; “He’s
come for you.”
“Have you come for me, Mr. Mill
ward?”
“I have, sir,” said the Marshall.
The appearance of the man’s ftuje, as the
Marshal said this, was piteous tq behold.
He was at last about to accompany the
Marshal, when a sudden thought struck
him, “I won’t go sir,” said he, until I see
your authority. You can't arrest fiae with
out the proper warrant.’’
The Marshal, in an inside breast pock
et, carried a large envelope just
from Gov. Curtin, inclosing his [commis
sion to take the militia enrollmentjmder
the 'new conscription act. It was a for
midable looking document, with [red seals
about the diameter of half pound Weights.
■ Keeping a straight face with; great diffi
culty, the Marshal showed the seal of the
document—which was not read —when
the man’s friend said to him, “It’s no use,
you’ll have to go.” ;
The man at this point seefned beside
himself. He jumped upon the chair, ele
vated both his arms, find proclaimed him
self a Union man in every sense of the
word.
“Come,’’ said the Marshal, , “its of no
use. Get your hat and come on. I have
no time to waste.”
“Can’t I go home first, and tell my peo
ple ?” he asked.
“Yes, sir, after you accompany me.”
“Where are you going to take me.” the
man pleaded, obviously thinking of a case
mate in Fort Delaware.
“Well,” said the Marshall, suddenly
changing his tone and manner, “I guess
now we’ll quietly go across' the street,
where that sign says ‘cool lager beer.’
This is a hot day, and lager is a good
drink when the thermometer ranges high.”
The man look puzzled, but followed the
Marshal, his friend accompanying. The
trio partook of beer and then went to the
man’s private office. The Marshal grad
ually allowed him to understand that thus
far he hafl no warrant for him. The
man, now reassured in his mind, com
plained very much of the stigma’s affixed
to him as a secession sympathizer, de
‘ nounced the papers for using. his name,
and commenced reaffirming his devotion to
the Union in very decided terms.
“Why don’t you" give something to the
bounty fund, then ?” asked the Marshal.
“If these things said about you are untrue,
why don’t you try to show them so ?”
“I will make a donation, Mr. Millward,
come up and see me on Saturday, and I’ll
get you to give §lOO in for me.”
“Oh, pshaw, that isn’t the thing,” said
the Marshal, “If you mean what you say
give it now."
' “I will,” said the man ; “I’U give it to
at once,” and he. produced a bran new
hundred dollar note, which hagaye to Mr.
Millward. and which Mr Millward hand
ed over to the fund.
But this isn’t all. The reader may re
member that some time ago a batch of reb
el prisoners, after recovering: at this hos
pital, were each provided with a satchel,
containing a handsome outfit of apparel
and toilet articles, to take with ,them to
Fort Delaware. Among these prisoners,
and the one most munificently endowed in
this way, was the; rebel nurse who- had
so long been employed in the hospital
against the remonstrances of the Union
wounded. Against the walls of this man’s
office, in which tile Marshal was now sit
ting, lay,a number of these satchels, appa
rently well filled. I At this vpity moment a
poor- German opened the door pleadifig for
charity; He had been taken prisoner from
the rebel army, into which he was im
pressed. He had gladly taken the oath of
allegiance, and was liberated. He was
ragged, dirty and) wretched. He bore a
tetter fijom General MontgOiOW which
he now : presented, recommending him to
; the proprietor of said office. : j
. “There said the hundred dollar man to
1 the Marshal, as hie gave him two dollars,
EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS.
“don’t you see hew these people are gent
to me ?”
“Yes, but he is not secesh. He is not
the kind of men that you give outfits to.”
Then turning to the German,tbe Mufulnd
asked—
“Why don’t you dress better ? Where
are your good clothes?”
“Goot clothes? I ish got no dofhes
but dese rags!”
“No money?”
“Not von sinkle cent, und mine family
ish up in Buffalo all lying sick.”
“Why don’t you give him one of these
bugs?” said the Marshal.
“The bags are not mine. They are
sent here by friends of the wounded reb
els. Captain Gibson says that such kind
nesses tp rebels are perfectly proper.”
The Marshal took one of the bags from
the hook and examined its' contents. It
was a very large and shiny leather bag.
Upon the outside was painted “C. S.
Smith, C< S. A.” It contained a new
dressing-gown, two fine white shirts, two
undershirts of fine material, a new felt
hat, a coat, a bar of scented soap, towels,
brush land comb. It was an outfit of the
kind good enough for a gentleman to take
on a long journey. ■
“Shall I give him this?” asked the
Marshal, the German’s eyes glistening’as
he spoke at the prospect of dean clothing
—a prospect that the poor wretch appear
ed not to have realized for at least six
months. •
“1 told yon they were not mine,'’ said
the man!
“Then FU take the responsibility.”
Saying which Marshal MiUward cut off
the name, and handed the bag to the Ger
man. The sickly face of the Teuton
lighted up with a beam of gratitude more
eloquent than words, and then he went on
his way rejoicing.
The Marshal, we learn, has just obtain
ed possession of certain correspondence
shedding a great deal of light upon the
history of the secessionists, male and fe
male, who have figured so efficiently in
feasting the rebels, and in treating with
contempt and contumely the wounded Un
ion soldiers in this particular hospital.
An Infallible Remedy fob Dysen
tery and Pkotkacted Diakbhea. —The
following simple remedy, long known in
family practice, was recently tried in the
camp of the New York Twenty-second
Regiment, where there were from eighty to a
hundred cases daily of dysentery, and with
rapid cures in every case:
Recipe: In a tea cup half full of vine
gar, dissolve as. much salt a» it will take
up, leaving a little excess of salt at the
bottom of the cup. Pour boiling water
upon the solution till the cup is two-thirds
or three-quarters full. A scum will arise
to the surface which must be removed,
and the solution allowed to cool.
Bose: Table spoonful three times a day
till relieved.

Sex of an Egg. —M. Genin lately
addressed the Paris Academic des Scien
ces on this subject.' The French savan
affirms that he is now able after having
studied the subject for upwards of three
years, to state with assurance that 1 all
eggs containing the genu of males have
wrinkles on their smaller ends, while fe
male eggs are smooth at the extremities.
Now breeders of fowls can secure their fu
