LINCOLN CHARGED WITH
H. TREASON

Some OF our Democratic friends,
who went off in this Union No. Party
Fusien and Conservative Republicans,
can see whore they are going TO, by
carefully reading the following reso.
lutions passed at a Republican No
Party meeting held at Chicago, on
Saturday, Oct. 5, 1861, on the sub
ject of the modification of Fremont's
proclamation by Lincoln, to WITT
"whereas, The Slavery in our Republic is the
cause Of this war, and the rebellion must bo e1-
terminated, and the determination Of slavery
and the prostration of the rebellion mast be
pursued at once as the same principle:
Resolved, That wo fully harmonic with the
resolutions passed in mass meeting at COldwater,
Michigan; Davenport, Iowa; Cottage Hill, ILL.,;
Racine, Wis, &C,
"Resolved That we look upon the modifying
act of President Lincoln as kind Of treason to
our country.

other clubs and societies to show their feelings
in similar manner, to encourage General Fre-
mont to continue in his proclaimed path as the
only one which leads TO victory, until slavery,
treason and rebellion arc entirely suppressed
forover.n
1t seems ether meetings besides
this, were held, as stated in the first
resolution, for the same purpose.
Who are now acting against the
Administration These meetings are
in favor Of setting negroes free, by a
military emancipation, regardless OF
the Constitution and laws. They al
80 charge the President with TREA-
SON for modifying Fremont's usurp-
alton of power, and for bringing him
under the Constitution and laws
These resolutions don't stop at this
they 60 further, and iusis: that Ere.
mont shall go on in his usurpation,
for the express purpose of abolishing
slavery. And still fnrsher, they re-.
quire Fremont to disobey tire orders Of
his superior officer; thereby encOurag-
ing mutiny in the army.
II Democrats and conservative
men cannot now see what tho men
they are acting with want, then they
are indeed beyond all hope Vf ever
seeing. Those who act with these
men, are as bad as they arc.

the outlay Of money to gratify his tastes

the testimony of managers of savings
banks, large proportion OF those who
open accounts with these excellent insti

ships and privations rather than withdraw
their deposits.
Let it be understood, then, that any
