THE EFFECT OF LIyooLN,s PRocLA Ma
TIoN IN THE NORTH.
The Northern press are very much aiyid-
ed on the subject of the emancipation pro-
ciama;ion of Mr.. Lincoln The so-ealled
conservative Journals and the leading men
of the Democrats party denounce it in I'M
measured terms, whilst the radical papers,
such as the New York Tribune, Times and
Evening Post sustain lft with zeal The
New York Herald expresses the hope that
the South willtsubnit before the lst of Jan
uary, the time that the proclamation lis to
90 into effect, and thereby save the necessi-
" of enforcing it. Fain hope !. Miserable
delusion Al at the North who are not
blinded by passion See that the effect Or this
proclamation is to make the South more
united and more determined in resistance
to theASorthern GoFerll ment. 1t destroys,
as they see, the little Uniohism that existed
III the soutRN They kn pw that if the policy
declared in TINT remarkable proclamation
could be carried into effect that it would
not only desolatc the South aud bresqlt in
the destruction of the bhek race, but that
il would also destroy the Commercial pros
perity Of the Northern people, thems elves
They we'll know that the growth OF the great
staples Of cotton, sugar, rice and tuBacco,
which are dependents upon slave labor, es1
sential totheir own interests. The ilnmeI
,iiate results in the Nof th of this pFoela-
clamation may be tocause the Congressional
elections in the Northern States. which have
taken or are soon totake place, to 20 in IA
vor Of the anti -Lineplu party. The elections
took place in PenasY lyania and Ohio h.fcw
days ago, with what result we do not yet
! l
know The election in New York will
come off in November. If. however,, by
means Of military restraint the elections are
carried by the radicals, there IS every reason
to believe that the opponents of the. pEsela-
nation, who are really in the majority If
they were allowed tolSpeak, will not submit
to the grinding desPotism which has for
months been expressing them and destroy
ing the last vcstige off liberty in the North.
What means they will adopt to free them-
selves from this odious Tyranny We db not
know, but We may rely upon it something
will be done The army is not satisfied, as
appears. from Gen. Mcclellan orde re-
straining free discussion in reference tb the
proclamation Even in that order I'D has
to calm them by saying that the remedy was
ut the polls But if this remedy at the
polls is by fraud, force pr fear taken from
the{peoplc, we have rea4 ON to believe even
the army itself, or ! lar &c portion u III will
no longer prosecute " Or which haslgin view
not the restoration of the Union but ii c abb
clifton of slavery. We may then safely
conclude that this proclamation will, in the
course Of few weeks, produce nome ntosis
results.
Let us hope that the people of the North
may be brought to their senses and may see
that their true interests require the m to
make peace with. us by acknowledging our
independence and making a satisfactory
treaty with US. Let us in the mean while
act as if the war were going to be prosecuted
by them with increased yigor, and let tls be
prepared for any and every emergensy-
The surest way to bring peace is to belfuliy
prepared for war.
