OF TEE REPUBLICAN, PARTY.
from the London Tin1ss, Oct 81
Even Ia this crisis Of the war, the most impot2as
part of the last intelligence refers to q political
not military, movement. President Lincoln hss
separated himself from the moderate Republicans,
and fully accepted the cx.rsms policy OF the vic
lent zealots tie party includes without combining
with them He has piayed LIS iaat card He has
deelxred by Q proclamation that IN oil the States
that shall not have returned to the Union On the
lst Of January the slaves shall after that date. be
free. 1t Is Q political eopcesson to the Abolition
ist wing Of the Republican party. When the
Union existed Its Constitution gave no right, either
to ,he President alone to tbs President and Con-
gress combined, to &bo.:sh slavery. Tho Abortion
ists assume that the war has conferred the right
emancipation was . "thunderhoit placed In the
hands" Of Ar. Lincoln. with which to destroy the
South and all its social organization At blow. He
has accepted the assumed right, and launched the
thunderbo,t. But he is without tbs powe. to en-.
force the decree. The North must eouquer every
square Inils ol tbs southern States before 1t can
make the proclamation more than waste paper -
The policy that has dictated the proclamation 10
