Encouraging the Proclamation

In some remark made in Boston on the 7th Of
last month, at the close of one of the Fraternity
Lectures in course of delivery IN that city, Mr
Senator Sumner held the following language In
aliuslon to the Proclamation OF Freedom:"
You must see 10 il that this proclamation is
absolutely recognized as n law. Ii must not be
trfted with or discouraged. Ii has nothing 20 do
with philanthropy or Abolition or anti slavery.
Ii Is put forth as military necessity. and stands
sngly and conclus yey on that ground. Ii is to
be sustained under the Constitution as a war
measure. and for that cause alone. Ii has been
already decided that the man who discourages
enlistments is traitor: now | say whoever dis
couTages the emancipation proclamation OF the
President is traitor That is my principle. and
/ hope before n month to see it the principle OF
the whole country"
We suppose that not only those who in ODE
dience to their convictions OF law and duty, dee m
the proclamation unconstitutional and inaxue-
dent, come within the scope Of the Senator :
condemnation. but also those who disDaraae its
terms as being unworthy of Christian people
For instance, DR. Cheever. we should think
makes himself amenable % MIR Sumner censure,
aud threatened penalty when that divine holds
the following derogatory language toward the
Presidential edct:
The heavens never beheld more deplorable
manifestation OF national vanity aud falsehood:
for IN the manner Of this declared act there is
nothing but the most unreserv ell national selfish
ness Is there justice, nobeness. or humanity in
that! Such principles taught by "A Christian M
ton. can not but be deplorabe to the last de-
gree"
Aud in the last number OF that anti slavery
organ. the New York Independent. the proca
nation as living entity is discourage" in the
following cOntemptuous terms
"Thc proclamation WIS glorious man of War
launched somewhat late, but capsble, with an
army that had II head to it, TO bear down and
carry the flag with all its old authority But
now the proclamation lies like ship frozen in
among the cebergs of an Arctic sea ."
1t such things are said OF the proclamation by
It's friends and supporters, the opponents OK the

Obligations OF Paro,ed Soldiers.

We understand there Is considerable excite
ment among the paroed men about doing duty
in camp. Many of them think il violation of
their oath TO drill and stand guard indianapolis
Journal
The Fourth Article of the Cartel entered into
between the Government and the rebel author
tiles on the twenty second OF July last, Is as fol
lows:
"All prisoners OF war To be discharged on
parole in ten DAYS after their capture, and the
prisoners now held and those hereafter taken TO
be transferred to the points mutually agreed
upon, at the expense of the capturing party. The
surplus prisoners not exchanged shall not be per
mitted 10 take up arms again. nor to serve as
military police or cous;abulary force in any FORE
garrison. or field work held by either OF the re
spcctve parties. nor guards of prisoners depots
stores nor To discharge any duty usually per
formed by soldiers. until exchanged under the
provisions of this cartel The exchange Is not
considered complete until the officer OF soldier ex
changed for has been actually restored TO the
lines 10 which ne belongs"
Ii thus appeirs with respect to "the parolel
men that. IL u Is not "a violation ct their oath

statement recently appeared in the New
York Isdepeadent, HENRY WARD BrEcHERs pa
per. to the effect that Governor MoRrox, Of Indi-
AMI, shortly before the election in that State pr-
vasely informed the President that he expected
Democratic victory at the polls He was asked
the reason for such a change rs popular feeling.
and replied promptly. the Independent says. ms
follows:
They believe that the Administration has
grossly mismanaged the war. They think that
irresolution. imbeciIity and dishonesty have char
acterized It's management; and whether lie fact
be not. they believe IL; and under such cir
cumstances IL will be impossible TO carry the State
for the Administration.
We suppose the Indepesdenfs statement is
correct, Tor il is religious paper, and therefore
not expected to lie. but the impression here is
that His Excelency did not expect Democratic
victory in Indiana. His ex- Excelency ex Gov
ernor wnIeHr was confident up to tie day of cleo
lion that Indiana would 20 Republican, and he
even wrote TO Washington day or two before
the election that Republican victory might be
expected beyond doubt. The result came upon
hin. Governor MpsroS. Secretary SMITH and
company as Unexpectedly "a a clap of thunder
from clear sky. II the Governor made the
statement TO the President. as reported by the
Independent, IL must have been for the purpose
of ullying him into some scheme he had in
view or some measure he wished adopted.
