The Appeal Of Gov. stewart.

Hon. R NJ. STEWART, the predecessor
of CLAIRBoRNE F. JACKSON, as Govern
or of Missouri, has recently made an elo-
quent appeal to the people of that State
against the Secession movement. Although
always actively identified with the Demo
cratic party, he has no sympathy with
the reasonable designs which the ambi-
tious and desperate conspirators of the
South have sought to conceal and promote
by their false professions of Democracy.
He warns the people of Missouri that they
can never gain peace or security out Of
the Union, and truly says that "when the
United States Government surronders its
right to navigate the Atlantic Ocean. it
may abandon its only thoroughfare to the
Pacifc-not before" He also calls their
attention to the fact that "it was part
of the original programme of Secession to
remove the burdens of the war from the
Cotton to the Border States y and that,
in pursuance of this selfish and artfui pol
icy, Virginia and Missouri have been
drawn into terrible snare in which they
will be greatly injured Speaking of the
objects of the war he says
"Citizens of Missouri, you can bear me
witness that during my ofHcia! life I have
labored earnestly against the doctrines
and practices of the extreme fanatics of
the North. Abolition and Secession are
two extremes that now unite in the de-
struction of everything we hold dear. DO
not hatter yourselves that this social war
in Missouri is against Abolitionists. 1t
is just what they have prayed for, be-
cause they saw in it the utter annlhiation
of our domestic Institutions. The only
practical Abolitlonists in Missouri are
those who have inaugurated and are now
prosecuting this unholy war. If allowed
to continue, it will accomplish in year
what could not have taken place in CEN
tury-the practical abolition OF slavery iu
Missouri. The only safety for Missouri
is IN the Union. Out of it,
either by force or by treaty, their proper
ty is utterly valueless. You have been
told that this war is waged on one side
for protection, and on the other for the
destruction of slavery. This is false
hood, snare, and delusion. This war
is for the life of nation, and the lives
and fortunes of twenty millions of peopig
are pledged for its prosecution. Aboli-
tionism is swallowed up and lost sight of
in the magnitude of this terrible crisis.
The war is to decide whether free gov
ernments are practicable, and It's issue
will fix the fate of Republics for veal or
woe, during the next thousand years. If

FremOnt's way of Doing It.

The proclamation OF the MAJOR General
Of the West, declaring the State of Mis-
souri, under Martial law, con6scating the
property and freeing the slaves of rebels
in arms against the government, hits the
mind of the people in precisely the right
spot. Missouri is overrun with insur-
gents, who are daily killing people and
destroying property, while the old State
government has fed and the new one is
unequal to the emergency. Founding
his action upon the law OF August 9th,
passed by the recent Congress, Fremont
steps in to settle the difficulty. He is
resolved that the friends of the Union
shall be protected (; he is resolved to visit
upon the malcontents the extreme penal
ties of the law; and he is further resolv-
ed, that if the shareholders who abet the
rebellion use their slaves to assist the
assassins and traitors in their attempts
against the life of the nation, they shall
forfeit that species of property.
Mr.. Fremont has done what the gov
ernment ought to have done from the be-
ginning. War is war. 1t has certain
necessities which cannot be overlooked.
When the owners Of slaves use their mus
cles to build eEtrenehments against US
when they arm them, as they have done
in certain cases, to cut the throats of free
men when they boast that all the white
population of the South may go to battle.
leaving the slaves to raise supplies in
their absence-it is our right and our
duty to deprive them of SO formidable a
resource. 1t is our right and duty to
strike a public enemy in his weakest
point. Slavery is the weakest point of
the rebels, and when we declare their
The Potter journal. [volume] (Coudersport, Pa.) 1857-1872, 1861-09-11

slaves exempt from obligations to serve
them, we only act in self-defence.
Without the express authorization
which Gen. Fremont receives from the
act of Congress, he would still have a
right to proclaim the emancipation of the
negroes of the enemy. The war power,
in times of actual hostility, may supercede
the municipal law. AS John Quincy
Adams long ago stated in the House of
Representatives, "when country is in
vaded, and two hostile armies are set in
hostile array, the commanders of both
armies have power to emancipate all the
slaves in the invaded country" The
same speaker showed that this was no
theoretic statement, but a practice fire.
quently resorted to by military command
ers, The exigencies of the occasion over
ride the usual institutions of society. and
the General must judge, from his know
ledge of the circumstances, whether such
an exigency exists.
That it does exist in Missouri no one
can doubt. A majority of the people of
that State are attached to the Union. BY
their votes and by their daring feats of
arms they have shown that they have no
mind to be dragooned into the service of
the Southern Confederacy. With the
state government strongly against them
at the outset, and with fifty or sixty thou
sand armed marauders committing havoc
in many counties, they have yet made a
vigorous fight for their rights. But they
are likely to be overpowered by reinforce
ments which are daily pouring into the
State. All the ra seals of the border, and
even the wild savages of the West, are
banded together for their overthrow.
These are assisted by some of their own
citizens, who not only furnish the foe
with supplies, hut join them in taking up
arms. At the battle of Wilson's Creek
several of the regiments were composed
of recreant Missourians. 1t is against
such as these that Fremont means to use
the strongest weapons in his power. He
has no idea that they shall ravage the
homes of peaceful citizens, all the while
that they draw their support from the
labor of the negroes. He discharges the
latter from the bonds by which they are
made the instruments of treachery. IF
you work for the rebels, he says, you must
work of your own accord and not under
force.
These stringent measures, we are glad
to learn, as we do by our telegraphic de-
spatches, are warmly approved by the
loyal part of the community.-NYPost

The burning heats of Summer are Civ
ing place to the cool bracing air of Au-
tumn. The summer harVests are gath
cred, the barns are full of hay and grain,
and the overhowing abundance stands In
stacks and ricks, upon the meadow. The
hard pressing work of the season is over,
and we begin to take things little leis-
urely. The corn has attained It's growth,
and the kernels are beginning to glaze.
The potatoes, if full grown, keep safely
in the hill. The apples are turning red
and yellow upon the trees, and the lower
bending Of the limbs shows that every
day is adding to the weight of the fruit.
There is rather gain than loss in delaying
for few days, the work that must be
done. There is now time to attend to the
little jobs that have had to lie over dur
ing Summer; to make fences, to ditch,
and drain. to dig muck, and make com
post-pro6table work always on hand
upon the farm. Those not driven by
wheat sowing have time to review the

Bag A gentlemen tells this story of a
little drummer boy. He went on the
ship to Fortress Monroe, with his regi-
ment, and just at evening, overcome with
the fatigues of the day, he had laid down
upon the deck, and had fallen asleep.
The dews were falling The Colonel
came along and shook him by the shoul-
der, and told him he would take cold if
he continued to lie there, and advised
him to 60 below and 60 to his rest for the
night. As he was getting up, his Bible
fell from his pocket upon the deck. He
picked it up and replaced it. Some kind
hand-perhaps mother or Sunday
school teacher-had given him that Bible
