The Democratic State committee Of Rhode

"put again Into working order the old Demo

way Of dealing political death TO those chiefest
and most powerful enemies of the Union and

In the Northwest the sentiment is wonderful

The Proclamation OF Gen. Pheips.

III .4 tfsi4n ------i = 20 plitlgT 2
The New York Times. in speaking Of Ihe
expedition to Ship island near the mouths Of
the Mississippi. and the landing Of General
PHELPs's brigade upon the island, says: sd h
~ The proclamation issued by Gen. Phelps, In
reaching the Louisiana coast, will be subjected
20 severe criticism, That officer, declinilg TO
be guided by similar Documents promulgated BY
leaders OF preceding expeditions into rebel ter
ritory, has announced his mission to be the SUBJ
stitution by force Of free for slave labor; and
has siustified his convictions of duty By consti.
tutional discussions and historical precedents,
curiously out Of place In o military annoucce-
ment. To say that the alusion to the Church
OF France 10 connection with the French Revpl
luton IL at once unfortnnate and inaccurate, is
perhaps needless. Bat certainly Ia no act Of
Congress, in no orders from the War. Depart-
,meni, nor in the practice Of the Government in
its conduct Of the war thus far, could General
Phelps find authority for the line Of policy he
prescribes for himself; and he can hardly plead
the absence OF explicit instructions as Justify
ing this extreme license Of interpretation. The
war, he must be aware, is not made for the OBJ.
iects which be names. He misrepresents the
aims Of the Government, precisely as the most
malignant secessionist OF the South miBrepre-
sents them: coincidence which cannot but be
productive Of mischievous and embarrassing re-
suits. Locally, the proclamation will fall harm
less. It Is hardly likely 70 make its way be-
yond the unpeopled islands Of the neighborhood.
But wherever It does 60, II is likely TO do the
Union cause more harm than good.
