Party Men.

It is a fact that needs no comment, that
a LARGE per cent Of the men who now 80 for
party lines and party nominations, are those
who, when there was something to contend
for-whcn the country was at peace end
apparently safe, aud when there was real
question Of how the Government should be
administered, would not be acknowledged by
either party. Neither party had any conf
dcncc in them nor would trust them. Now,
when the country is in danger, when no man
can say with full conf lcnce we have gov
eminent to administer, when there is 10
question to distract the National Councils,
and every consideration Of patriotism calls
upon every citizen to come up to the
support Of the Government at the sacri-
tice Of every other interest, they are found
believing loud, long, and deep. party, party
party drowning with noisy protestations
Of devotion to party, every echo Of that every
blessed word country.

Emancipation.

The long lookedTfo proclamation of eman-
c1pation has at last appeared. The Presi.
dent has issued i proclamation in which he
declares that the war will, in the future, as
IN the past, be conducted for the sole pur
pose of restoring the Union. That he pur.
poses at the mex: session of Congress to
recommend the adoption of practical meas
n'e, rendering the pecuniary aid Of the Unit
ed States to such States as may voluntarily
emancipate their slaves. That on the first
Gay Of january, 1863, all persons held as
slaves within any State or any designated
part ola State, the people whereof shall then
he IN rebellion against the United States,
shall be theneeSorward and forever free On
the first day Of January, 1868, the President
Will Issue proclamation, designating what
States and parts Of States, come under the
proclamation. This may be crisis in the
National history. Many believe, or seem to
believe, that it is the turning point in the re
be!llon. If so we hail the proclamation
with joy. we have never sought to disguise
our sentiments on any question we have
not been as confident as some that procla
nation Of general emancipation would have
the effect that some seem to believe it will
But if we are mistaken we shall hail with
JOY the proclamation thai shall give freedom
TO portion Of the human race, and at the
same time strike blow to the rebellion that
will tell.
There are two features to take into con
sideraton In the first place such procla-
nation will place the Government in The
position, in the eyes Of the civilized world
OF fighting for the cause Of freedom and hu'
manly, while the most bitter proslavery
man will not claim that it has voluntarily
sought to interfere with the institutions Of
any State. On the other hand, pr"clanine
emancipation is not emancipation but we
must still keep an armed force large enough
to conquer the rebels, and only where we
have first conquered them can the proclama-
ton be Of any force. But on the whole, we
think that if the rebels, even in those States
where we have conquered, were deprived o.
the service Of their slaves the bellion would
be- much nearer crushed than it now is
Let the slaves be taken from them and they
must then stay at home and raise their owr
corn, or 90 without their corn. Now they
have fair warning, with ninety days for re-
Fiction Let them decide soon OF the Gay
Of grace will be passed.
