not a war lor the Constitution, but one waged in disregard of it. One resolution is in substance from Douglas's 15th of March speech a speech which he subsequently repudiated." Mr. Dongas said: "I repent that whatever cuaranteos will satisfy Maryland and the Border S (the States now in the Union) will c it. l.l Pa,, a -j t i states create Union paity in the seceded States that I will bring them back by the voluntary act ' -f ih.dr nu n naonln.

The resolution about the volunteers, coming at the end of sueh a platform, was rather cold comfort. The boys had votes, and had friends behind who had votes. The response from the soldiers to the franset! of the platform, to the Convention that refused to endorse Douglas but which passed resolutions endorsing the St ntimä and editor, would be "Depart ye cur-ed. v(; know you not." This war was not made for the emanci pation of the negro, and all assertions to that UBmm were made bv men knowins them to be false. He had his views upon ...... . - - CJ slavery, and had always candidly expressed them. He was a pro-slavery man on constitutional grounds. It was his belief that every negro in the country ought to have a good master or mistress. Yet he didn't ask everybody to think just as he did about it. He believed if peace were made tomorrow there would be more slaves in the country than ever. Coder the Constitution neither the Presideut or Congress had the power to free a slave. It could not be done by proclamation. Hut if, in the course of war, and by means of the war power, every negro is set free, he couldu't help it, and wouldn't make it a condition of his loyalty that such a state of affairs should not occur. f Jii dee Huches read the following from the North American Review, for April, 1862, printed at Boston: "The United States have no authority to emancipate the slave in any State, except a it may he done in the suppression of an a m m insurrection. Ihe persons who rebel may be punished through their property, and in determining what is to bo regarded as nroneitv. reference may he bad to the laws of the St.tte in which the offence was a a a- ' w

But thi forth for the effectual suppression of the punishment of confiscation, so far as it is j rebellion, that the Constitution may he rea civil punishment, must be meted out in spected, its authority acknowledged, and the Fame manner as other punishments 1 d order once more established all are. by general laws for trial, conviction over the land, it il earnestly hoped that all and judgment.

There had been a call for a Union Conventio, to be held in this city on tho lth of June.
