The following is the Presideut's pro-
clsmation On The emancipation n the
slaves in the dislsict Of CoIsmbia
Fellow Citizens of tile Senate and House
|. Of Representatives.:
An act. entitled Gan act for the
emancipation of certain persons held
| to service or labor in the District ol
Columbia" has this day been signed.
have never doubted the cons,itu-
tional authority of Congress to abolish
slavery in the District. and have de-
sired to see the national capital freed
from the institution in some satisfactory
why, hence there has never been IN my
mind any question on the subject. except
one of the expediency arising in view
Of all the circumstances.
II there be matters .silhin aud about
this act. which might have taken the
course or shape more satisfactorily to
my Judgment. do not attempt 10
specify.
sm gra,iied that the true principles
Of compensation and colonization are
both recognized and practically applied
in this act. In the matter Of compen-
saiion. it has provided that claims may
be presented within ninety days Of the
passage Of the act. but not thereafter,
and there is saving for mino1 semmes
covert. insane or absent persons.
l presume there is an omission by
mere oversight. and recommend lha,
1t be supplied BY an amendatory or
supplementary act. .ss

The Meeting.

A MEErIKG Was held on the Public
Square on Friday Of last week. for the
purpose Of iuaugura.ing measures to
suppress horse stealing. robbery, and
"JsyLswking" generally. The meet
ing resolved to give persons who were
known 10 be engaged in such business
due notice TO leave the County in g'v-
en- time. or steps would be taken 10
punish them according to the dement's
Of their crimes. What those steps
would be was not made public. but the
sequel throws some light on the sub
iect for, on Monday afternoon. de-
tachment of the Provost Marshal Gen.
erals Guard entered the place and
made a number Of arrests during that
day aud the day following. The per-
sons so arrested-except a few who
were, We do not doubt. rightfully re-
leased were taken 10 Fort Leavenvorti'
on Wednesday. to await an examination
before the military authorities.
We believe this to be the proper
course to pursue. if the civil law y
found to be imperative.
II is only in extreme cases that We
believe the people should resort to mob
law. First apply to the civil. and u
eiief cannot be obtained there. then 50
to the military authorities for pro'ec-
ton against outlaws. BmVrslief can
not be kod from tie cica or the military
autho, tiles, then. as in California, The
people mast fall back upon tteir original
right Of se!f-profecsion. and, with pru-
deuce land great caution. adopt such
measures for The public good and vel
fare as may be absolutely necessary.
We hope ,he people will stand IL al
in their opposition to oa,lawry. and be
exceedingly careful not to enter into
extreme measures without grave con-
siieralion AMI reflection.
