EMANcIPArroN--Five of the present Cab,
met. says the Continental Monthly, rabid
Republican mouth piece, 'have expressed
themselves fairly and fully in favor of Enan-
cipa!ion and arming the slaves, - forsceine
its ineoitable realization, and, we presume,
the necessity of managing it betimes. Only
Messrs. Seward and Bates hang timidIv be'
hin !, waiting for stronger manifestations, ere
they hang ont their flags. Meanwhile from
the rural districts of the East and West
come thousand.fold indications that the
great working majority of the Northern
freemen--the same who elected Lincoln and
Urgcd on the acar in thunder tones and light
ninG acts-ar strongly determined to press
the great measure, and purify this country
for once aud forever of its bitterness. 1t is
forgone concusion' "'Ihe great working
majority of Northern treemen, who elected
Lincoln and urged on the war" insist that it
shall he prosecuted for the Emancipation Of
the negroes, and not for the preservation OF
the Union. And Democrats are called up
ON to take hand in this unholy fight! Why
was not this Emancipation purpose announ.
ced at first? Because as the Atlantic Month
" informs us, no soldiers could have been
obained-a confession at once of the weak
ness and dnplicity of The Republican party.
The Aboitionsts would not volunteer, and
the Democrats who'd have refused to enlist
in such war had it been originally avowed.
Now, that they have taken the "army oath, v
they are compelled to obey orders or be
punished for insubordnaton--whic simply
means be shot for disobedience Of orders.

A letter from Washington states that the
Rev. DR.. Cheever, in his lecture in the Capitol,
on Sunday, Jan. %, gave utterance to more
treason than was ever heard before. even from
the lips Of Jeff Davis, Mason or Slidel|, and
adds that if the Rev. Dr. were not an AboIi
zionist, the Provost Marshal would have
locked him up before now AS it is, some
Washington lawyers are reported to be pre-
pairing an application to the Court to have
him arrested for treason, or misprson of
treason.
