We are not surprised at this. Sheahan

been using his superior talents and efforts
to ruin it, But, we opine, he will be about

AboiiiionIsm at work.

The proclamation of General Hunter,
given in to days paper, is evidence of the
determination Of the Abolitionists to to-
tally destroy the country.
Gen. Hunter has lately been assigned to
the command Of an important military de-
partment by the President, and this is his
first movement. In violation of law, and
the constitution, and the resolution adop.
ted BY Congress at the commencement of
the war, he proclaims freedom to the slaves
OF Georgia, Florida and South Carolina.
1t remains to be seen whether the Pres.
ident will sustain this monstrous assump-
ton of authority. If he does not modify
this proclamation and recall Hunter, he
will forfeit the confidence of every true
friend Of the Union.
Gen. Hunter doubtless means to initiate
Fremont in small way He is catering
foT the support of the Abolitiouists; and
IN order to secure it, is willing to make
the war more bar5arous and horrible than
ever. Lovejoy and the men who are OPP
posed to the reconstruction of the Union
as it was, will sing hosannas to General
Hunter, but his name will be execrated by
every enc who abhors negro equality, and
scenes of blood and desolation.
