No reflecting person' cap - fail to per
ceive that the civil war in which we are
now en'gaged must :form an important
epoch in Anglo-American ltilitory , —an
epoch not at all less marked than the f'a•
mous revolution which, in separating us
from the mother country, extingu6lied
' among us the itle: of hereditary privilege
and -monarchial rule, and established the
elective principle as the solo basis of opt
Government. ' •
The revolution then accempli,lied fail
ed, however, to be complete. N0n..re,112;
and privilege, so far as th..e-white popula
tion was concerned, were set aside ; but
theiliolding of negroes in f. 7 lavcry still re
mained. The patriots and philosophers
—indeed the gteat mass of the intelli•
gent men of the revolutionary era, were
• not so blind as not to see that Sias-Timid
ing was wholly .iric nitpatible With that
system of republican equality whieh they
sought wake the ba..is of their Gov
- ernoicht ; and under the i.tiptilse of
. this
con ction the abolition of slavery was
decreed in all tli - e Northern states, and
was ttptle theMidamental law of the new
.state to be ere ted northivest of the, Ohio
. but in - the phintiti,g States the pecuniary
interats involved in this institution wire
too great to allow; it to be thus summarily
disposed uf; and the Washing.tons, the
Jeffersens,, the Madisons, the Henrys, the
Pinckneys of that day were obliged to
cot 3 with the hope that
time 'lig
. wisdom and con
sci, e people would. bring;

It p _dud with this trust,
on the part at least bf a great majority of
_its frare , rs; that the Federal Constitution
hough obliged to wink at'it, and even to
grant it a large portion of po ical influ

to enter, not; however, without wars and
fighting. .
How shall matters be so arranged as t
make the triumph. of free •labor aud re
publican ideas complete, and to {vent
forever . the recurrence of any -similar
struggle? o . ' •
To answer this question 'does rot seem
to be very difficult. The first-fruit of the
'triumph .of our arms must be the total
andiinnedii4c abolition of:slave-holding.
The great body of the slaveholders, from
the actk-e, Open. and leading part they
have taken tin the present revolt, have
made themselves just subjects of confis
cation, and. have totally - .forfeited any
right or pretense of Aight they 'might
have had to their Piave property under
the Constitution against which they have
been in armS. i As to such slaveholders
as may be able to show that they have
been loyal throughout, and have gtven no
aid or eneourag.etohnt to the revolt, they
might be justly entitled ;to a pecuniary
indeint ity for the loss of their slaves.
But it would not. be their slaves alone
which the slaveholders would forfeit a's
the penalty of their rebellion. By the
.'3ante rulb, they would forfeit all their
lands also. These lands Ought to be di
i;itled into two portions : one to be reserv-.
ed as a fund' for paying the debts to
Northern manufacturers and merchants
out of which the rebels have' attempted
to-cheat thew; the other, and far the
larger portion, to be distiibuted among
xr dve bemired thousand volunteers as
bounty lauds; in hundred 7 acre lots,. and
on don - clittoti of settlement and cultivation.
Let no one cry out that this is a scheme
I of gmetal Confiscation agarnSt the people
jot* the South. It would full extensively
lon the prineipal and: leadihg rebels, and
would leave the great mass of the South
lern people who cultivate their own lands
with their hands not only Untouched; but
retrieved from the overwbehning blight
of supercilious neighbors, and, as we shall
'now show, va,tly imprOyMf in their con
, union both social and pE. , Cuniary.
• it has been made a great 'objection, and
a very plausible one, too, to the abolition
of silvery, that it would throw the entire
industry of the slave states into confu
siou, owing to the disinclination and even
the moral , ineapacity of the slaveholders
to.as'suine the functions 'of employers of
!hired labor; and the disinalination of the
slaves to work for their; late masters.
IV the plan Which we propose all this
difficulty would be got rid of.. The five
bundled thousand volunteer settlers
would understand perfectly the manage
ment of hired laborers. They would set
the negroes an example of industry and
skill by theinselves heading the row.
They would take the negioes as appren
tieeA. and would .500 n. instruct them i,i a
hundred kinds Of handicraft labor/ now
unknown at the South. They Would in -.
spire, encourage, -mid lead: on the great
bOdy of native poor whites by their ex-,
ample; and these poor whites, by the op
poratoity Which 'the general emancipa
tion would afford them of emproying hired
negro labor, would have a 'door opened to
wealth which is now totally closed to
them. ' -
It is not easy to exaggerate the blessed
results which must folliive this substitu
lion of free for forced lablui and this
transfer froin the North td the South of
Million of intelligent farmers and
mechanics. In ten yCals the produotions
of the South would be doubled, nay, quad
rupled. The Northern system- of free
s'eliools,wauld follow itythe wake of free
labor. This'transfer.Of population would
being aboutf.a 'unity of sentiment . and
feeling hitherto unknown.. The Whole
Soutli,.under ,this influence, would . un
dergo
the sat civilizing process which,
by means of a similar infusion of North
ern settlers, hae been accomplished in
Southern . Ohio,.Southern'! Indiana, and
Southern Illinois, originally .chiefly set
tled by emigrants from the sfiave states.
It is hardly necessary ioqdd that, with
these five hundred thousand volunteers,
eii&amped in the South, &nd backed by
the great body of the whites and all . the I
emancipaidd ner , roe , li the idea a new,
sTa veho:ders' insu. rections, would be quite
out of the:question.:

"Let this plain truth those ingrates strike, •
Who still, tho' blessed, new blessings crave :
That we may all bare what We like,

wife, as they ruse from their noon-tid'e

"hut I should have to take Charley with

• f'Well, then, draw Charley down to the
store and I'll take care of him," said Mi.
Henderson kindly ; and as his wife follow
ed:him to the door, he gave her a good
byh kiss,. and .walked with elastic tread
down the neatly - graveled path leading to
the little white gate.
Mary stood looking after him with•rt
loving eye, and thought "what a dear,

thankful." , • •
:It was •a - lovely day in October, anti ,
the breeze stole gently through the crith
son vine-leaves clustering around the, pi
azZa of Lock: cosey cottage home. Mr.
Henderson was engaged" in mercantile
business in the thriving town of West
btiry. Industrious and trtigal in his hab
its, he bade fair to become a successful
merchant; dud his young wife was ever
ready to lend a helping hand, and by her
economy and tact, aided him more than
either of them realized. NeVerthelcas,
she was not always contented -with their
still 'humble lot, although' she seldom
troubled her
_husband with any complaint
Many of her acquaintances 'noted in a
higher throb; of society, and she was by
nO means insensible to the inferiority of
her furniture and dress, %Atm compared
with theirs; and it must be confessed
that the remembrance - of -this fact Some
tiMes caused he; an unhappy hour..
On the afternoon in question, these 176
pining thoughts thronged unbidden round
her heart, and soon o , ainetf undisputed
possession of that citadel.. She turned
aWay'frotm thedoor with a listless air and
ascended- the Stairs to her own room.

confessing that it fitted her form admira
