The Emancipation Proclamation.
TLa Ohin Ennle comlnents as fnIlnws:

The OHIO Edgte comments as follows:
The first proposition of Mr.. Lincoln EN-
braces the freeing of some four millions of
negro laborers. now employed in raising
cotton, sugar, rice, etc, the aggregate value
of whose labor is about $500, 100000 annu
ally. The raw material which thew produce
is exchanged yearly for $500, 00O, 900 worth
of northern productions and imporlations-
two-thirds, At least, being northern manu-
features and agricultural productions, EN-
braring hats. caps. boots, shoes, clothing,
machinery, bacon, hay, grain, lumber. etc.
Mr.. Lincoln proposes to sweep all tins vast
commerce off a, II single blow, ard adopt
policy that would render property in New
York valueless. But further, tic proposes to
transport these negroes to some other
country, and to tax white men for the ext
pense of so doing. But with The loss of all
market for our productions, how can we
pay the expense of such a vast emigration
rs this would entail upon us2 The price of
all articles of trol ical production would also
increase tenliold. Already cotton is heco,n
ing as dear as wooden gools were former
", and it will soon be seriously felt 10y the
poorer classes, who will be unable to clolhe
themselves As they have been accustomed
to. But groceries, molasses, sugar, rice,
etc, under Mr.. Lncoln's policy, will rise to
fabulous prices. None but government,
contractors and 'shoddy aristocrats"
will be able to indulge in such luxu
ries. Already the taxes compel a poor man
to pay five cents on every pound of coffee
and twenty five cents on every pound of tea,
bat this will he nothing to what labor will
have to be burdened with if this Insane pol
icy of Mr.. Lincoln is carried out. This is
the material view of the case.
But al! these fall into insignificance be
fore the gigantic social issues invoived-the
terrible possibilities OF the naturally docile
negro being transformed by white mans
deviltres into tiend, whose unregulated
passions know no crime or outrage too
monstrous for commission. The mind i'm
stincliveIv draws veil over such scenes,
and shudders with apprehensions of the
future, when it sees men at the head OF
public affairs so blind, crazy or malignant,
as to hazard all The hopes of humanity. and
all the interests of civilization in desper,
ale attempt to tear down the Temple Of
Liberty, even though they perish in the
ruins.
