DROPPED OUT.-Since the appearance of
President Lincoln's proclamation, the letter of
Mr.. Lincoln to Horace Greeley, with which
the editorial head OF the Advertiser had for
weeks been btazoned, has dropped out Why
is this? Have the doctrines of that letter be-
come heterodox? Did the letter possess
charms while the President tried to 'save the
Union without freeing any slaves" which have
faded since he has determined "to save it by
freeing all the slaves" or by "freeing some and
leaving others alone"? Does Union without
slave possess no attractions for our neigh

+. O. j. Smith the Editor, VS.. +. o. j. Smith
the Declaimer.

In the Portland Advertiser of Sept. oath, the
editor of that paper, Hon. +. o. j. Smith, said
The whole theory of proclaining freedom to
the slaves in the rebel States,is against the ac-
knowledged rules of civilized warfare. No act
of fCongress, and judgment of the Executive
can impress it with the nature of military
necessity"
There can be no such thing as military
necessity, on the part Of the Federal govern
meut, for destroying any State Constitution,
or anu State institution. When the
Federal government yields TO the destruction
of either, through weakness or revenge, it
yields to spirit of revolution.
Very much more to the same purpose might
be quoted from Mr.. Smith, the editor but we
turn to Mr.. Smith, the deciaimer. In the old
City Hall in this city, subsequent to the as
sault upon Charles Sumner by Preston Brooks,
of South Carolina, an indignation meeting was
held. Among the speakers was Hon. +. o. j.
Smith. We have not a report of that meeting
before us, but think the files OF the Advertiser
will show the words then put into the mouth
of the Honorable Speaker. A gentleman of
this city, clergyman of the highest respecta-
bility, has written the following sentence, and
says he will make affidavit that Mr. Smith ut
tered the precise sentiment the words express,
and in almost precisely, if not exactly the same
language. Mr.. Smith said, referring to the
Brooks outrage upon Sumner:
This insolence of Southern Shareholders has
been tolerated too long already, and if it is
continued, ice ,cM march an army down to
the line, and say to the Hree-dnd-d-hdlf mill
ions of sldres. STRIKE FOR YOUR FREE
DOM. FOR WE HAVE COME TO HELP
Your
We ask the candid reader to put that and
that together; to compare the editor with the
decldin,er to decide with what consistency
a man who has proclaimed the doctrine in
volved in his Old City Hall speech, can deny
the right or the authority Of the Federal Gov
ernment, when Southern shareholders are la
boring to strangle the goddess of Liberty in
her own chosen temple, to proclaim freedom
to the slaves in the rebel States" or to urge
them to strike for their freedom,p ,pledging them
It's aid to secure and maintain it.

q The Advertiser has taken up the Ar
gus motto, "The constitution as it is and the
Union as it ,cds." The editor of the Adyerti-
ser, like the Argus, long since the rebellion
was inaugurated by the secession of several
of the southern states, took decided ground
against "the constitution as it is" and de-
manded that it should be changed so as to
give slavery additional guarantees, by the
adoption of the proposed Crittenden compro-
mise, and it was only when he and II discov-
cred that no such alteration could be made,
and that slavery had gone to the extreme limit
of its chain in the way of extension and politi-
cal power, that they commenced 30 clamor for
''the constitution as it is' Give them the
slightest ground to hope that the constitution
may be changed in fdcor Of starery, so as to
add strength to that accursed institution, and
quicker than lightning both of them will cease
their present clamor, and demand the change
1t is slavery and not freedom-despotism and
not liberty, of which they are the guardians,
and to conserve and protect which they show
the most solicitation.

Command.

NEW YORK. Sept. so.
Washington correspondent in morning
journal says that Gen. Sgel asks to be relieved
from his command because he has been placed
under the command of junior officer, because
his command has been gradually reduced, and
regiments raised expressly for him, have been
assigned TO others-because of the grossly
abusive manner in which he has been treated
by Gen. Haleck, and because of several other
assigned reasons.

literally strippid themselves OF every
thing available for those objects. Now
a large number of our sick and wound
ed soldiers is quartesed at oxforda

is near by, increasing the number OF
sick in these hospitals daily. They
must be provided for. Those towns

My dear sirs, know the plcadinss
