Lincoln's Proclamation.

Old Abe's last proclamation, freeing the
negroes of rebel masters after the first of ia
nuary next, is the coolest, and yet the shall
lowestpiece of impudehce we have seen. It is
done for the purpose Of frightning the people
Of Kentucky into loyalty to the Federal Gov
eminent, but will only have the effect to dis
gust them, and show them the real motive of
the Yankeeinvasion. Lincoln and his Cabi-
net have all the time professed that they have
waged this war to save or restore the Union.
put the present proclamation shows what we
nave all the time known, that it is waged to
Iree the negroes. What ridiculous nonsense.

OF : anuary next, when they have, from the be-
ginning OF the war, and for years before, sto-
zen ana freed every negro they could lay their
