Attorneys Tor the Rebel. An.wer-d.

Attorneys for the Rebels Answered.
The Mahony Press have a special re-
gard for the rights and interests of trait
ors under the Constitution They nre
continually denouncing the Government.
for infractions Of the Constitution to the
detriment of rebels in arms. They are
untiring in their efforts to interpose the
Constitution to shield their traitor friends
from harm or punishment. But the trait
ors themselves, more manly than their
northern friends, have long since repudi-
ated the Constitution, cast it of, and ar
rayed themselves in hostile ranks, to
overthrow the Government cstL bliShed by
the Constitution. The Criminals them
selves make 10 defence, under the Consti-
tuition; seek no favor from those who are
enforcing 1t; it is only their attorneys
and defenders in the north, who plead III Q
Constitution in bar to the punishment of
these traitors
The Burlington Argus, one ofthe north
ern attorneys of the r,Lcls, is furious in
its denunciations Of tic recent ProcIama-
ton of the President The burden of its
charge, against the President, is in the
following sentence, all the balance of the
editorial being simply rabid vituperation.
1t says of the President and Proclama-
ton:
Totally disregarding his oath, and
wholly ignoring the Constitution, he has
proclaimed a decree, cmancip ting the
slaves within the limits Of the State pu-
thority."
Those rebel States have repudiated the
supreme authority Of the Cons tuition and
laws of the United States, "within the
limits of their state authority" They tool
up arms against the Government, with
out the limits of their state authority -
united together as an Independent Con
federate Government, and forcibly seized
the property of the United States. and ex
PEELED its officers beyond "lhe limits o
their state authority"
And now, to re-establish the suprem,
authority OF the Constitution and laws o
the United States, the Government i
constrained to resort to arms, to invad,
the limits Of their state with cmbat,lct
hosts to vindicate its rightful supremacy
The Constitution has panoplied the Gov
eminent with tho ample powers Of war
and has empowered it with authority t.
pass all laws proper to carry these pow
ers into execution. May the Govern
ment march into these rebel States, dis
place their Governors, disperse their Stat
Legislatures, shoot down their citizens il
order to accomplish the object of the war
the restoration of it's rightful authority
and shall it be denied the power to Eber
ate slave in furtherance of the same end
Are the rights of traitors. to their slaves
more sacredly protected by the Constitu
ton o. The United States, than their right
10 their own hives and libcrtiesY
The very statement Of the proposition
furnishes the answer to the mind Of ever,
zane man. 1t is only those who have be
come mad, insane in their devotion to par
ty and TO slavery, that regard the pccu
lar institution as more sacred under GU
Constitution than the liberty and lives {
