emancipation, either as war measure, or as an
act of justice to an oppressed race, as well as
those who have argued that such means might
be rightfully employed to suppress treason.
The dividing line between those who support
the Administration and those who oppose it,
cannot remain longer in doubt And the peo-
pie, we believe, will be on the right side of this
line and while they are SO, we shall he quite

solately taking counsel together on the other

/ and enormous preparations for crushing out all
opposition, that the President issues this impor-
tant manifesto, and gives the people of the
South this chance. 1t is now the question with
them whether or not they are prepared, tor the
sake of few miserable leaders In this wicked
rebellion, to submit to this overwhelming revo-
! luton in their social system. There is the doc
ument. There is the time fixed for tho return
of the rebellious States to the allegiance OF the
! Federal Government. No event IN :he history
of the world surpasses the one now presented by
the President, and which is to be decided in
little over ninety days.
The World, which has of late given itself up
wholly to opposing emancipation and Republl-
canism, and almost everything but Gen. McClel-
Ian and the Democratic party, and which has
been particularly abusive of everybody who has
urged the government to make slavery the
weakness of the rebellion, indulges its spite IN
this malignant assault upon the President and
the Proclamation
President Lincoln is very Blondin in the
art of political balancing. When in his eleva-
ted position portion of the balancing pole is
thrown out on the left side, he deftly projects
an equal weight of it on the right. Thus he
maintains his equilibrium. While he was hu-
morlng the radicals in the process Of degrading
Gen. Mcclellan, he withheld the proclamation
for which they so loudly clamored. When the
unrelenting necessities of war compelled him to
restore that general to command, he found it
necessary to pacifJ this exacting and meddle-
some faction, and he throws sop to the bark
ing three-mouthed Cerberus, in the shape of
new proclamation.
This new proclamation really amounts to lit
tie. The President proclams, in substance,
that on the first of next January he will issue
another proclamation, putting in force the main
provisions of the confsc iton act. 1t is unbe-
coming the dignity o! a great government to
make such menaces as to what il will hereafter
do in territory OF which IA powerful armed foe
disputes the jurisdiction. If, on the first of
next January, the war is substantially ended
there would be some reason in giving the insur-
gents their election between submission and
civil penalties. But they will laugh such offers
to scorn SO long as they can confront us with
great armies. That part Of the proclamation
which relates to slaves coming within our lines
is particularly weak The law is the same that
it was several months ago. If proclamation
on this point is necessary, why was it so long
delayed Its issue at this late day looks like L.
concession 10 the radical clamor.

BIT JOIN O. WHITTIER.
The flags of war Ike tOrm-hirds fly,
The charging trumpets blow
Yet rolls no thunder in the sky,
No earthquake strives below.
And, calm and patient, Nature keeps
Her ancient promise well,
Though DER her bloom and greeness sweeps
The battles breath of hell.
And still she walks in golden hours
Through harvest-happy farms,
And still she wears her fruits and flowers
Like jewels on her arms.
What means the gladness Of the plain,
This joy of eve and morn,
The mirth that shakes the beard of grain
And yellow locks of corn?
All eyes may we'll be full of tears,
And hearts With hate are hot
But even paced come round the years,
And Nature changes not.
She meets with smiles our bitter grief,
With songs our groans of pain
She Knocks with tint of flower and leaf
The war fields crimson stain.
Still, i'll the lannon's pause, we hear
Her sweet thanksgiving psalm
Too near to God for doubt or fear,
She shay s the eternal calm.
She knows the seed lies safe below
The fires that blast and burn;
For all the tears of blood we SOW
She waits the rich return.
She sees with clearereye than ours
The good Of suffering born,-
The hearts that blossom like her flowers
And ripen like her corn.
Oh give to us, in lines like these,
The vision Of her eyes;
A nd make her fields and fruited trees
Our golden prophecies
Oh, give to us her finer ear
Above this stormy din.
We, too, would hear the bells of cheer
Ring peace and freedom in

Field Officers of the 18th Regiment.

The election of Field Officers for the 18th
Regiment took place here to-day, wednesday,
and resulted as follows
+. V. RANDALL, Colonel.
A g. Brown, Lieut.. Colonel,
L. D. CLARK, Major.
The newly elected Colonel is well known to
all our readers, as the Captain of one of the best
Companies in the I'd Regiment. He has made
valuable officer IN his first rank, and will make
an excellent Colonel.
The Lieut. Colonel is also we'll known as the
foreman and assistant Editor in the Watchman
Office, and as Captain of the Montpelier Com
pany OF nine months men. His election we
think good one, and one which the Regiment
will have no occasion to regret.
The Major we do not know personally, but
we are Informed by those who do know him
that he is well qualified for the Office to which
he has been chosen. He has seen service, hav-
ing been out with the LIST Regiment as Captain
of the Swanton Company. He was at the time
of his election as Major, Captain of Higbgate
Company of nine months men.

The Press on the Presidents Proclamation

The Boston Journal says of the Proclama-
ton
This document-whch may become the most
important ever issued in this country since the
Declaration o. lndependence-wl be the sub
ject of the careful perusal of every reader.
Every one will incline to make up his own mind
with reference to its necessity and its value as a
war measure-for it is upon that foundation
alone that it will stand or fall. For our own
part. we accept it as the matured act of tie
Executive of the United States, adopted within
the clear scope of his military powers,
doubtless from the most imperative conviction
of its necessity and therefore to be upheld and
supported by all good and loyal citizens. We
have no more hesitation on this point than we
had in sustaining the Presidents call tor the
first Is, 900 troops, or all his other measures,
down to his last summons Of 900, 900 men to
the field.

The wisdom OF the step taken-we refer at

declares free the slaves OF rebel States after the

again by President Lincoln that as soon as this
step became necessity, ne should adopt it, its

make such use of it and its victims as lies in our
power.
From now till the first of J4nuary-the day
when this proclamation will take effects lit
tie over three months. What may happen be-
tween now and then, In the progress of the war
1t Is hard to say We earnestly hope, however,
that by that time, the rebellion will be Out
down by the military hand, and that the terri.
BILE element OF slave instruction may not be in
voked. If, by that day, the rebel army be
overthrown, and their Capital captured
and, if tue siaveholding rebels sti prove malig
nant, irrepressbe, and, as in the Southwest
disorganizers and maraGders. then let tina,
which Vice. President Stephens called the corner
stone OF the Southern Confederacy, be knocked
from under it, and see whether the whole fab
rio of the rebellion will not necessarily tumble tc
the ground.
