Reverends Getting Impatient and Begin

Some of the Reverends are getting to be wofully
excited at the delay Of Lincoln, in not pro.
claiming freedom to the slaves. Nothing will suit
, them but proclamation of emancipation. So i'm.
patient and violent have some of them become,
that they are launching the thunderbolts of the
Almighty on the head of Old Abe, for his fail
; ure to wipe out the hoary abomination." The
Rev. Elias Bowen, D. D., a prominent and we'll
known Methodist clergyman is very bold in His de-
, nuneiations, and threatens Lincoln with depo-
sition If he fails to up boldly to the work of
emancipation. In an article which he ventilates
through the columns of the Northern Independent,
published by the Rev. VIM. Hosmer, at Auburn,
New York. he thus expresses himself: aas lar'< ,s
PRESIDENT LINCOLN aARRAIGNED.=-Look at the
position. occupied by the Government since Lincoln
was placed at the helm! What has been done by
him or his Cabinet officers, to quell a rebellion
which threatens our national existence? Who will
point us to the first blow they have struck at
slavery, its weli-known causee On the contrary,
what have they not done to FOSTER or at least pro-
tect and keep in countenance, that hoary abomina-
ton, and that, too, in open defiance of the judg-
ments of heaven, which everybody knows are fall
ing upon us for this very sin
PRESIDENT LINCOLN INSTRUCTED What would
we have the President do? We would Just have
him do his duty, which is as plain as the nose on
your face. We would have him issue sproclama-
ton of freedom to all the slaves in the land, and
thereby strike at the root of the rebellion, which
he ia in vain attempting to put down BY carefully
guarding the accursed Institution from which it
sprung. Civil war is upon US, and the liberties,
nay, the very existence of our Republic is tremb-
ling in the scale, as the effect of slavery. And hay
ing passed His Observation-Disclosures Lincoln --at
the head of the Government to take care of it's in
terests, we demand of him. In the name and by
virtue of our sovereign will, that he shall abolish
by proclamation, and the forces we have placed
at his disposal for this purpose, an institution by
which those interests are put IN awful jeopardy
THE PRESIDENT THREATENED. -" We can but
raise the note of warning-aye, of admonition
also-to the President himself. EWeawould inform
him that the Government of these United States is
ours-the people's-and not his. We have an in
dvidual interest in it as well as he. And we will
not see our liberties and our existence bartered
away by a man who owes the position he occupies
to our suffrage, to the damnable institution of
slavery, without struggle. If he will not regard
the rights and will OF his eonstituents-the rights
and will Of Northern as well as of Southern SOW
eleign States--we shall not be long in availing
ourselves of all constitutional means to put one in
his place who will do it, . se.st.r- - q b. s.4 I
The editor Of the Northern Independent hopes
that the President may soon find himself" /" crowd
ed to point where he has no choice and can do
nothing but acquiesce in the necessities of the
case,'' and assures us that when the call for
emancipation thus presses, upon him, he will issue
his proclamation as readily as he did to reinforce
Sumter" -------~--- .ss5-r s7-.-----l.p>--
