JUDGE SCArEH RESOLUTIONS.
Tho fc1lor;r,r ~ oop% var -o nh. orct, ~3.,

JUDGE SCATEB' RESOLUTIONS.
The following cogent paragraphs eu1bodv
The substance Of Judge Scates' resolutions,
which were offered and stranglcd in the
Tory Convention at Springfield:
''Whethsr a'avesy shal1 survive Of perish ia
question. not for the government, but for 1sa<e en
pd9edt1 rebellion.
Antwe ayow and declare that We are Of tho
class WIN are Internationally loz the Union aad
the endorsement Of the 1sxs.''
Happily President Llncoln's proclama-
ton exactly fits these resolutions 1t gires
the rebels one hundred days to consider
the question in all its bearings, and make
up their minds whether they will lay down
ftt:r arms OF have slavery orcrthrown. 1t
is fd~ sa{,a to determine whether their "pe-
,cnllar institution shall survive OF perish
Ample time is given riisa, In wss,i::21, to
weigh the whole subject, and decide
whethcathey love treason better thsn they
love slavery They cannot enjoy both.
Under such circumstances it is difficult
to sec show any man protesting to be
loyal, whether he calls himself Demo-
.crat 81 Republican, can hesitate to
endorse the Presidents proclama-
ton. There is nothing compulsory in
it except that it compels rebels to make
their election whether they will cease their
unnatural and hor7id warfare against the
Union, or cease to be the owners Of slaves.
The unpaid labor Of the blacks has sup
ported the war against us eighteen months.
It may do so three months longer, hut that
must be the end Of It'll Who will say that
the policy is not'w wise, or the penalty not
Just. Many well meaning persons declare
thai the proclamation will have no prac-
tica1 effect. That is not g2a33a argument
against it, Tor, il true, no harm can be
done by it. Therefore let it be tried il
good fifth, and let all patriotic citizens
cordially sustain the President while thu
trial istelng made. Those who approve
Judge Scatcs' resolutions will surely do So

E;oss1y at fault in the matter Journal.
The general rule Of the State government is
not to send the regiments into the field until
the m.n have been paid their discriminating
bounty and advance psy. It always creates
great dissatisfaction in regiment to send it
