Did the north kill it by the policy adopted in the prosecution of the w ir ? Did Abraham Lincoln kill it by his proclamation of emancipation ? Has the south just killed it by the act of its so-called congress in freeing and arming three hundred thousand negros ? Did the negros themselves kill it by imprbvlng favorable opportunities and flying to freedom ? We imagine that all these influences had their effect in the- ry. herree the necessity for the fugitive slave law. And now that they are to be armed they will make use of the opportunity, if necessary, to effect their release. So it must be clear to everybody, in any view of the case, that slavery is dead. And it must also be clear that the rebellion set in motion the combination of circumstances that killed it. Logi cally therefore the rebellion killed slavery. In this view of the case, then, a new issue is set before the southern people. ‘Will they return to their allegiance, giving up their slaves with a good grace as the cost of their folly ; or will they still further protract a hopeless struggle, or if not hopeless, a struggle that can now only result in their establishment as an independent power with out slavery? The latter alternative can hardly be anticipated by the most sanguine But if ti e south can prolong-the struggle, and if she can by any means work out a-separation, the arming of the negros presents a now feature of the desirable ness of such a sue :ess to view. It was only for slavery that the rebellion was inaugurated. If therefore southern independence can be achieved by the aid of negro bayonets, that independence will only leave the J-hiie population of the south at the mercy of an army of negros who will fight general slaughter ; but it is quite certain that not 1 f ” 1110 Ration of those of their own blood who one of d/so influences would have been brought in slavcry ' 80 the ob j ect 9 f to bear, but for the madness and crtminaldy of/ ht \ S ' r ^ Dreadful in. southern politicians in seeking It separation from the United Stales.

Alexander JI. -Stephens, one of the first nnd ablest statesmen of the south, declared, then that the new government was based solely on slavery; slavery was made the chief corner stone. 1 friends whose-hearth-stones are desolate may pos- i sibly find a trace of the missing ones in that sketch.
