FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1864
We can take do nosice of anonymon* oommu-
Hicationi. Wcdo not retain rejected manajioripfe,
voluntary correepontlenoo solicited from all
parts of the world, *nd especially from our different
military and naval departments. When used, It will
be paid for.
Are We Afraid of Our Creed !
It ia objected that the proposition to abo
lish slavery in the United States by amend
ing the Constitution tends to change the
issue upon ■which the National Union party
■will meet its opponents in the Presidential
campaign, and that the change would be un
fortunate. We should be compelled, it is
said, to fight the battle on the sole, clear is
sue of Abolition, instead of Union, yielding
to the enemy the ground from which
they have vainly attempted to drive
us, thus soliciting danger, and risk
ing the loss of all we have gained. The
objection is cautious, and caution is always
valuable. Yet, to us it seems that the day
for the reservation of principle has gone by,
that the highest courage is the deepest pru
dence,and that the Union party will gain
far more than it can lose by announ
cing the abolition of slavery to be its
second purpose, and not only the sec
ond, but an essential element of its grand
purpose—the restoration of the Union. To
make clear, by the most emphatic mea
sure possible, that there can be no Union.
party that does not aim at the abolition of
slavery, is not only a matter of principle but
of policy. There is no doubt that the party
is anti-slavery, that its leaders are anti-sla
very, and that we are determined to have
a Union without'; slavery therefore why
should we hesitate to say so? The objec
tion now made to amendment to the
Constitution prohibiting slavery, has : met ra
dical progress since the beginning of the war.
It was urged against the 'Emancipation
Proclamation, against the enlistment of
colored troops, and its weakness has been
shown by the success of those measures.
The war has convinced us that it is radical,
absolute action against slavery which the
people want. Congress cannot legislate in
advance of the people. We are ready
fox everything and anything that tends
to the destruction of slavery. Destroy
slavery, and the Union is restored by
the very act. It is not only impossible
to restore the Union without sweeping
slavery away, hut it is impossible to prevent
the restoration of the Union when slavery
is gone. Take it away, and no human
power can divide the States. This truth
has passed into the blood of tbe people, and
is a part of national life. To amend tbe
Constitution eo as to prohibit, slavery for
ever in every foot of land belonging to the
United States, is to gratify a national long
ing, and to give a new enthusiasm to the
great national party.
But would we change the Presidential
issue from that of Union to that of Abolition
by adopting such an amendment as Mr.
Sumnbb has proposed ? No. We have al
ready endeavored to Bhow that Union and
Abolition aie identical. More than this,
is not the Union party known throughout
the worid to be thoroughly Abolitionized ?
What more can onr opponents say of us
that they have not said ? Abuse and mis
representation are exhausted. The Eman
cipation Proclamation, the enlistment of
colored troops, the equality of the payment
of soldiers, the enrolment of slaves, are all
measures that have been tried as crimes at
the bar of disloyal opinion, and their au
thors have been branded as criminals. The
Union party is now invariably spoken of
by its opponents as the Abolition party, and
it is its glory that it is an Abolition party.
It is sustained as such by the people. Last
October we carried the election upon an
anti-slavery issue, and next November we
shall triumph throughout the whole North
with Freedom and Union inscribed upon our
b aimers. Experience has proved boldness to
be better than extreme caution, and it is un
wise to Blight principles, where it is plain that
nothing can be gained by expediency. We
do not believe we will lose a solitary vote i
by making the amendment to the Constitu
tion a part of our creed; all the pro-slaveiy
voters are against us as we are, and there is
not a man who voted for Andrew ©.
Cub tin or John Enough last fall who did
not vote as an Abolitionist as well as a Union
man. It is too late to attempt to stand upon
a vague sentiment of abstract Unionism,
Which is a common profession of all
Northern parties; it is necessary, when
confronted with a pro-slavery rebellion, and
a pro slavery party, that we should abso
lutely declare our purpose to be the estab
lishment of the Union upon the eternal
downfall of the entire slave system. It isim
possible to be too firm, too earnest on this great
question. We should waste precious time
by shrinking from the work in fear of the mis
representations of our enemies. We may learn
a lesson from the very States we have res
cued from the rebellion. Suppose it he said
to the people of Arkansas, “Yon must not
change the issue from Union to Abolition.
You may come hack to the Union, as an
anti-slavery people, if you will, hut direct i
Abolitionism is a matter whichjhad better he
postponed until the war is over.” How in
secure had then been our trust in the loyalty
of that State. Arkansas at once, by her i
State Convention, declared that “ slavery
shall not exist,” and that declaration
people -will beyond all donbt ratify oj
second Monday of next March. 1
is the experiment tried in a slave
and vre may profit by the result. We
do not urge upon Congress undue haste
in amending the Constitution, but be
lieve, on the contrary, that alteration of that
instrument should he made with grave
deliberation. But we decidedly disapprove of
a timorous policy in the coming Presidential
election, or of any attempt to deny that
Unionism &nd Abolitionism are one, insepa
rable issue. The Abolitionist must be a
Union man; the union man must be an abo
litionist. This the people know.
The Empire of Mexico.
11 the recent intelligence, received via
Havana, be- true, it would appear that the
days of the 'Mexican Republic are num
bered. Uraga captured, Juarez resigning
his Presidency, and the .continued advance
and success of the French arms, are cir
cumstances which, if correctly reported,
show that in a short time
Austrian, may assume sovereign power in
Mexico. It cannot be denied that he has
been nominated to the Imperial diadem
by the French invaders, obeying instruc
tions from the astute and inexplicable
man who, by extreme audacity, remark
able good fortune, sublimest craft, un
concealed disregard for the sanctity of
public oaths, and reckless sacrifice of hu
man life, has re-established the Bonaparte
dynasty in France. Gunning, boldness,
bribery, and utter want of- conscientious
feeling, have made him what he is. It is a
matter of serious doubt, the conduct of his
mother considered, whether any of the Bona,
parteblood courses through his veins. When
the late Prince Jkromk told him of this doubt,
the charlatan answered, it is said, “ Perhaps
so, for no one can say who his father is- but
if none of the blood of the great Napoleon
Is in my veins, you cannot deny that I have
the support of all Ms relatives upon my
shoulders.”
Mexico thus yielding to the invaders, it no
longer becomes improbable that an Austrian
prince will soon place himself on the throne
of Montezuma. No one can truly say
that this will be done by desire of the Mexi
cans. It is the carrying out of the foregone
conclusion at which Louis Napoleon ar
rived, as far back as October, 1861, when,
before the French expedition quitted France
for Mexico, be communicated to the Arch
duke Maximilian his wish to know whether
bis Imperial Highness would accept the Im
perial sceptre of Mexico. At that time, it
will be remembered, the Mexican Govern
ment was republican. What of that ? The
French intriguer had already resolved to
overthrow it, and 3laximxlian’s acceptance
of the to-be-formed Empire preceded the
departure of a single French ship for Mexi
co. How it all will end is for that riddle
reader, Time, to resolve. In a month or
two, French newspapers tell us, Maximilian
»ill arrive in Mexico. His condition there
vHi be the reverse of enviable. The public
treasury empty, and the majority of his fu
ture nominal “ subjects ” lukewarm towards
him, where they are not hostile, and an im
mense debt owing to France, for two years’
occupation of the country so unjustifiably
invaded, the new Emperor will not rest upon
a bed of roses. Ever to his mind, if he be
the thinking man he is represented, must
be the horresccnt spectacle of a former Em
peror, native-born, who was not allowed to
wear the diadem very long. Ever by the
side of Maximilian will stand the pallid
image of Iturbidb, who was “every inch
a King,” iu his time, hut was murdered,
forty years ago, by those very persons, his
countrymen, who had invested him with the
purple, the sceptre, and the crown.
Postal Improvement.
The public will note with satisfaction that
a liberal spirit of reform has entered into
the administration of our postal affairs. No
part of the Government concerns us more
familiarly than that which regulates- the
mails, and the changes which the Postmas
ter General has lately projected will receive
general.attention and approval. -These re
forms are based upon European systems
long in successful operation. One of these
is the plan of free delivery, by which
letters are brought to the door free of
charge, and which is now in partial
operation under the law which took
effect in July last. Another change affects
the pay of postmasters, who, under a former
rule, had no fixed rates of salary, but de
pended upon certain calculations of the
number of letters received. In his revised
code, Mr. Blaib proposes to divide post
offices and the compensation of postmasters
into five classes, according to the annual
average of compensation during the four
years last past, salaries to be fixed in regular
sums. Congress, with a view to the wants
of our soldiers, has provided that hereafter
articles of clothing in a package of not over
two pounds, addressed to a soldier in the
army, may he transmitted through the
mails. Another reform, advised by Mr,
Blaik in his last report, deserves the at
tention of Congress and the country—we
mean the “money-order” system, prac
ticed by the English post office, to give ad
ditional security to the transmission of
money-. The post office, under this rule,
becomes a bank, and gives its promise to
pay at any point whither money is sent.
These lefonns will make an interesting
chapter in our postal progress, and we trust
that nothing will stand in the way of their
full trial.

Claim Swindlers.
Colonel Roberts, in his report as State agent of
Pennsylvania, at Washington, regrets that Pennsyl
vania hat established no agency at Washington to
protect the soldiers by seeing to the collection of

ers who har g. about the metropolis, ready, at any
instant, to fleece the generous, unguarded, and un
sucpecting delender of the country of his last dol
lar by means of false representations, securing from
him a power of attorney to draw his money and
robbing him of it.”

MEXICO.
RUMORED ABDICATION OF" JUAREZ.
HIS SUCCESSOR GENERAL ORTEGA.
Nbw York, Feb. 11.—Mexican'papere, which have
been received here, state that the rumored abdica
tion of Juarez rests upon the statement of a San
Luis correspondent of the Estafette, who writes that
at a Cabinet meeting Vldaurri, Ortega, and Dobla
do advised the step,'and even threatened, if Juarez
did not accede to the proposition, that they would
oppose him. It is also rumored that, these three
chiefs will go over to the French party. The Esla •
fette subsequently announced that Juarez had re
signed, and had been succeeded by General Ortega.
It was the defection of Guadalajara from the na
tional cause which so diseouraged Doblado and Or
tega that they opened negotiations for submitting
to the French. This information, however, all
comet through interested channels. It appears that,
previous to the battle of Morelia, and its capture
by the interventionists, the capital of the State had
been removed by a decree to Uruapan, so that the
capture was not ao complete a surprise as has been
stated.
The Marquis de Montholon, the French minister,

Baron Neigre, the French commanding general in

the purpose of fulfilling its engagements in the
event ol the failure of it. utmo.t exertion* to pro*
retve peace, the Britiah Government ha» found It

It i. to be hoped that the preieut precaution, against
every contingency may tend rather to diminish
than promote the danger exifting In the present
situation of £urope.
The London Times aaya: “The latest news re
presents the Danes a. preparing at once for war and
negotiation. Their soldier, are incessantly laboring
at thp Damnleur in expectation of an attack by the
combined forces; and at the same time that the Bigs
rad will be shortly convoked, so that if concession
be then possible or needful, it may be made with
due constitutional formality. For the moment we
must wait and learn bow far Prussia and Austria
are serious in their aruijtee. This country has done
all m its power to bring the two parties to
terms, end if, in spite of all our Government
can do, the debatable land of Schleswig is stained
with the blood of the two raoes whose
liontrer runs through it, we are free from
the guilt. Why, then, should not the two
Powers agree to an armistice? or refrain from
opening the campaign at all, and allow whatever
question may possibly remain in dispute, after Dan
mark has repealed the common Constitution, to be
settled by negotiation, either direotly or by the me
diatibn of some impartial State, or byauoh aeon
fetence as'England recommended, and France has
in principle assented to?
The Morning Post savs: “ We are not easily to be
convinced that the Germans have suddenly lost
all their caution. When, therefore, they oome to
find, as they will, that they have to reason not with -
a small neighborhood,but the Drat might of the first
class States, w© suspect that they will reconsider
their intention, and abandon|their purpose. ll
The Star says: “No one can fail to know that the
most various reports derived (many of them from
quarters diametrically opposed) conour in attributing
to Lord Palmerston a determination to draw this
country Lto a war for Denmark. It is reported,
indeed, that the Premier hat an understanding with
certain influential members of the Tory party, and
even if a coup (Petal becomes neoemry to facilitate'
it, the coup d'etai colleagues would be found ready to
devote themselves to the policy of war.”

Walkut-btbbbt Thbatbb. —It is hard to keep
up with the times. The days have gone by when a
theatrical oritic could content himself with saying
“Jones is a fine actor.” Now must he speak of
Jones as a tragedian of enviable distinction, whose
unequalled ability in portraying the emotions of the
human breaat has rarely been excelled, and who
will appear this evening in his strikingly original
creation of so and so, universally acknowledged to
be without parallel on the stage, and played by him
for e,ooo consecutive nights In the London theatres,
and spoken of by the entire pres* as unexceptiona
ble In morality, dramatis vim, aplendor of concep
tion, and purity of execution. *
In short, the theatrical oritio has to make a regu
lar dictionary of himself for Jones’ benefit, or
arouse Jones’ ire. He is also obliged, not only to
keep up with the times generally, but with the the
atrical advertisements paitloulsrly. Has the reader
seen Miss Lucille Western’s great advertisement in
one of our contemporaries? It Is worthy of atten
tion, nay, of imitation, and while we aspire to no
rivalry with the brilliant pen which wrote it, we
have serious thoughts of henceforth giving all our

resolution if it was relened to the select committee on

Mr WASHBURNE, of Illinois, was glad that New
Xork was moving in the matter.

After some debate this was adopted by a vote of 79
tO Oo-
The Knrolmeut Act,
*v TI 2S.P OUBB * ent Committee of the Whole ou
the bill amendatory of the Enrolment Act*
The Enrolment of Colored Persona.
_The pending amendment vu that of Mr. Stevens, of
that 411 able bodied male persons of
African descent* between the years or twenty and forty
flv«, whether citizens or |aot. resident in the United
f ha llbe enrolled according to the provisions of
&e act to which this bill is a supplement, and form a
♦ n § ti< ?£&r*orces, andwhena slave is drafted
lnto the service, his matter shall receive
*. -bniflc&te thereof for three hundred dollars, and the
drafted man shall be free; provided the slaves of loyal
men only shall be paid for.
Mr. DaVls, of Maryland* made a suggestion that the
three hnndred-doliar feature lathe above be omitted, to
which Mr Stevens assented.
Mr. DaYIS also offered an amendment to the above
amendment, as follows : The Secretary of War shall ap
point a commission in each of the slave States represent
ed in Congress, charged to award a just compensation,'
not the sum of three hundred dollars, to each
loyal owner of any slave who may volunteer into the
service of the United States, payable out of the commu
tation money, upon the master freeln* th* c 2ave
Mr. DAVIS said he moved this amendment not be
cause he believed that compensation was due to the
of the slave, hut because in Maryland the Presi
dent ana Secretary of War, in the execution of the law of
1892, are organizing persons of African descent to sup
press the rebellion, and have seen fit to appoint commis
sioner* for the purpose of estimating the value and
awarding reasonable compensation for slaves who may
volunteer. He believed that the Government ought to
take slaves for military purposes, because they owe such
' service to the Government.
Mr. ANDERSON, of Kentucky, thought the amend
ment did not go far enough. In his district the people
were differently situated from those in any other. A
large major&ty of the young men, following the perni
cious counsels of traitors, had joined the rebel army,
and this wasthe reason why his district had not filled
its tiuoia. When the next draft shall take place, chat
district will owe seven thousand men. Now, unless the
slaves of the rebels in that district shall be taken, re
sort will have to be had to the poor young men, the
loyal population, while those who have induced en
listments mthe rebel service will foa allowed to enjoy
their property in peace He was in favor of putting the
slaves of all rebels, and of their sympathizers, in the
aimy, but was opposed to thus appropriating the slaves
of Union men.
The question having been taken, the amendment of
Mr. Davis, of Maryland, was agreed to, Messrs. Davis,
Thomas, &»<i Webster, of Maryland, voting in theaffir-
of that State, in the negative
MrWEB&TBR, of Maryland, said he bad no trouble
about taking slaves for military service. The Govern
ment took them both as persons and property. Slaves
Were considered in the Constitution, and had been re
garded in that light from the time of adoption of the
uonstitntion to the present day. Jf slaves are taken,
as property compensation must he made. The black
man haying once been a soldier should be free. He
would glye compensation to the master and freedom to
the slave. Once he thought white men were sufficient
to put down rebellion, but now duty to our country
required that we should make use of all the means in
our power to suppress the attempts to destroy our Go
vernment.
Mr. KELLEY, of Pennsylvania, remarked, we did not
give the Northern father compensation for his son We
old not s ive the wifeeompensatlon for her husband We
aid not give the orphan children compensation for hav
ing withdrawn from them their support. When the
draft took the husband and father withont compensa
tion, he could not see that the relation between the
slaveholder and the slave was more sacred thin that of
father to fon, wife to husband, or child ro parent,
olbves are persons; they are never ln the Con
stitution as property. Every man owed military service
to the country. He was ready to appropriate mo. ey to
pay for the slaves of loyal owners, and whose masters
shall consent to their volunteering in the service.
Mr. HARRIS, of Maryland, contended that slave
owners are entitled to compensation for their slaves,
but to his astonishment he found that his colleagues,
Mesws. Davis and Cresswell, respectable slaveholders,
are willing to depreciate the rights and prcpsrty of
slaveholders, and turning out those dependent upon
them for support to starve- He looked for more justice
from the two gentlemen from Pennsylvania, Messrs
Stevens and Kelley, than from his two colleagues who
had addressed the Hours. He (Harris) denied the right
to enlist or enroll a slave. If the Government chose to !
take a slave at all, they could do so onlyas property.
. for which they would be bound to make compensation.
He was opposed to employing negro troops, beiause It
would bring degradation upon the country. We, claim
ing to number twenty millions of people, are fighting
five millions of white men, and now it was demanded
that the flag of yonreountry should be entrusted to the
hands of slaves This would bo a degradation.
Mr.KASSON, of lowa, in reply to that gentleman, de
nied that his aide of the house proposed any injustice by
the provisions of this bill. Ab to the gentleman’s re
mark about entrusting the country’s flag t<Ahe hands of
the black man. he (ESeaon) called attention to the fact,
that in the Revolutionary War that was considered no
««***d*tlon, and the pension rolls show the names of
black men by the side of the names of white men. The
Statutes of the State of Virginia, up to this time, show
that slaves who fought in the battles of the Revolution
b could be emancipated for honorable conduct The
State of Rhode Island authorized the enlistment of black
men or slaves.*, It was no new thing, but was called for
by the necessities of the country, and it was the ia*t
thing to which representatives from slave States ought
to object.
Mr. BALDWIN, of Massachusetts, moved to strike
from the amendment the words, “the owner of any
slave, ■’ and to substitute the words, **persons to whom
the colored volunteer owes service. He din not think
the interest now in controversy should have superior
privileges. Be knew they had been accustomed to give
slavery partiality over other subjects, and had offorei
hia amendment, wishing to make the pending proposi
tion conform as near as possible to the language or the
federal Constitution. _ "
Sir, HaLLOBY, of Kentucky, appealed to the gentle
menon the other side to know why they manifested so
much solicitude for the States of iuntucky, Maryland
and Delaware, if. he Bald, we allow you to put free
negroes in the army. and. to which he had no object
tion, what business is it of yours to say we shall enlist
oy* ‘laves ? Why not leave Kentucky to say who shall
fill its quota? If yon have in view the abolition of
slavery, or the demoralization .of the institution, then
yon will adopt the proposition of the gentleman from
Fennsylvanla. He invoked the committee, lr i hey had
”, determined to pnreue a reckless course, not to
adopt it.
Mr. Baldwin’s amendment was agreed to.
, Mr. BBOOMALL, of Pennsylvania, offered a proviso
that this section shall not apply to any Congressional
district il the Representative of the same shall expressly
ssk that the slaves of his district be exempt from the
draft, letting it fall more heavily on white men He
merely offered the amendment for the benefit of those
fentlemen who are opposed to the original proposition
!e never found the man in his district who objected to
the darkest negro going aa a substitute for turn.

Mr. SMITH, of Kentucky, showed that the loss In
slave property in Kentucky was owing to the occasional
invasions, and in the course of bis remarks said he was

Hr. HARDING. of Kentucky, desired -an amendment

the Constitution to interfere with slavery,
an d to take slaves without consulting their owners was
robtenr.
Hr. HIGBBS, of California, said that the Constitution
recognized no such institution as slavery, and therefore
they should not by legislation make any concession
to it.
Mr. KING, of Missouri, said no State had made so
many sacrifices for the rnion as Missouri. She had not
been treated as well as Kentucky, for recruiting stations
had been opened in bis State, and reeruliing officers bad
gone into negroes’ houses. teUh-g them they were
obliged to go into the service, and that if they did net
go voluntarily, they would be drafted and not receive
the three hundred dollars bounty. Was it not Injustice
to take able-bodied slaves and leave tbs halt, blind,
and young to be cared for by others?
Mr. DAVIS, of Maryland, said his colleague (Mr.
Harris) bad maintained that slaves were recognized as
property by the Constitution. He (Mr. Davis) categori
