es of the country; defended by a splendid French army, and with all France at his back. Yet the Philadelphia Inquirer can see hope for Mexico in such a condition of things, and none for the Confederacy, whose capital stands erect and defiant; whose armies, under some of the first generals of the age, hold the field with invincible courage and determination, and whose people pray God, with one heart, as the greatest of earthly blessings, to be delivered from Federal subjugation. If President Davis were like Juarez, a fugitive from the capital, running from post to pillar, followed by some ten thousand Confederates, what would the Inquirer think and say of the prospects of the Confederate cause? Yet, we do not deny that Mexico may, after all, reclaim her independence. The condition of Juarez is, after all, not much worse than of Washington at one period of the Revolution.

They are as follows: First. The abolition of slavery to be left to the State Legislatures as to time and circumstances, but slaed with the Federal army for foreign war. Fourth. In the restored Union the past to be forgotten. The second of these propositions being at once rejected by Davis, it became unnecessary to consider the others. In reference to this document, we would call the special attention of our readers; first, to the fact that we know, on undoubted authority, that had Blair not been invested with full powers from Lincoln he would not have been received by Davis; second, to the fact that Lincoln abandons emancipation by his own proclamation, leaving the question to separate State action; and thirdly, to the fact that the policy of his Government points directly t
