charge. II true, it subjects that party to
the pains and penalties Of the ConfScation
act, which is legally in force all over tho
United States. This pntS the reckless and

hands Of the rebels. Certainly if he can,
by proclamation, free slave in Richmond,
Virginia, or Columbia, South Carolina,
he can, in tie same way, set free our sol
dicrs who are prisoners there. II" might
extend his philanthropy little further,
and release from gloomy BastiIcS political
prisoners, ihcarccrated without warrant
and guilty Of no offence. 1t seems, how.
