L,tlse,
That it is au error the great and evident
tendency of public, opinion in the United
States for man}• years past conolusisely shows.
That tendency has been distinctly and con
spicuously opposed to the spretd - a - Slavery.
The pro•slavery party made the most noise in
the land ; its lea lers brawled in Congress and
intrigued in conventions; but year by year
1110 nation quietly took more decided stand
aganst the slave system ; election after elec
tion, in all the states where the question was
permitted to be discussed, showed a growing
opposition to slavery among the American
people ; and the election of Mr. Lino& In, on
the one principle that slavery should be nb
further extended over now territories, was the
last and crowning manifestation of this spirit.
Moreover, it is a fact that, wherever, in the
course of war, a slave state has beet' diNeu•
thralled from the rule of the rebellious slave
holders, who constantly stilled free dismission,
there a strong anti-slavery sentiment has at
once become manifest. In Missouri and Del
aware,. in' Maryland and West. Virginia, in
Louisiana and North Carolina, no sooner, was
speech made free by the expulsion of the
alaveholding conspirators and rebels } than a
strong party—in some cases, as in Missouri
and West Virginia, it majority—appeared, op
fosed to slaiery.
I Sir Robert Peel shows himself entirely ig
norant, therefore, of " the state of things
- which existed before the breaking out of the
war." Ire seems not to understand 'that-a
great nation _can. progress in right.sentiment
slOwly but surely ; that it shall determine

peacefully to prevent it going farther, and
ruining more of the national domain. Were
they, in this, less wise than those who wanted,
at any price--=at the price of the Union even
—to get rid of slavery tit once? We think
not—for the Union is a great . blessing to us,
it makes liberty and free government, and
peace and prosperity possible on this conti
nent. Surely it was riser to hold fast. to the
Union, and to seek, by peaceful and constitu
tional means, to eliminate the evil which has
been our curse and reproach. This was what
the Republican party proposed to itself and to
the nation.
When the sinveholders saw the American
people approving of this peaceful, just and
constitutional, yet undoubtedly effective pol
icy, they at once rebelled, and made nar on
the Union. Then the American people rose
to arms in self-defence ; they proclaimed their
determination to protect the Union ; they will
do so, at every expense; and will restore
peace and Union, though it cost the life of
every slaveholding rebel in the country.—
That Mr. Lincoln in the meantime as civil
magistrate exercises no authority over slavery,
and as military Commander-in-Chief exercises
authority only over the rights 'and property
and slaves of rebels, shows that he thorough
ly comprehends his constitutional duticq ;
when Englishmen find fault with him for
"not going far enough," they only show that
they do not understand constitutional govern
ment at all.

We regard our present ; struggle as carry

lion regard it. They reject that charter of
liberty, unless you allow them to foist their
own limitations into its leAt. The question
now in solution is, whether indeed till mono

It is with no ordioary feelings of sorrow
and regret, that we announce the demise of
this young patriot. Ile was a pupil of ours,
and a more faithful, earnest young man it
has never been our fortune to meet. When
the rebellion assumed ,the formidable ,front,
which characterised it early last sumtgr, he
threw away the peaceful implements of his
adopted profession, and hastened to the front
rank of his country's defenders. But his
frail physical organization could not support
the rigors and severities of camp . life, and
he fell a victim to disease, and in a few short
weeks was brought home so enfeebled and
prostrated, that after lingering a day or two,
his spirit fled to its better home. ieace and
rest to his youthful shade.
