Tho President of the United States, after
long hesitation and listening TO all manner Of
counsel, has taken two important steps toward
lion: he has proclaimed, tho freedom Of all
persons who may be held "a slaves within the
States which shall perss. in the Rebellion after
the lst day of January next; and he has ap-
pointed Gen. Burnside to the command Of the
Army OF the Potomac whereof Gen. Mcclellan
Is relieved.
Does any man on earth doubt the sincerity
Of the Presidents conviction that these steps
are calculated 10 secure an early and favorable
termination Of this most devastating struggle
Does any even pretend to doubt the pre.i-
dents absolute right 10 appoint whomsocvcr he
pleas.s to ,Lo command OF the respective Union

There can TO no mistaking the Jrilt Of
( tbs villailOus connection. 1T tends directly
~ is doubtless .niouAed--to excite muffin, IN
the Army and inrrr6cton among TIE People,
thus nsaring he triumph oi the Shareholders
Rebellion. II the traitors at Richmond could
have directly written for their organ here,
they could have written nothing more thor
o1zhly in The interest Of their foul rebellion.
( Now let US contrast the Secession ialsehOods
Of Tie H,yad with some undeniable truths:
/ l. Ii Is utterly false that Gen. Mcclellan has
done or said anything il conflict with the Pres
dents Proclamation of Freedom, aud is re-
leved on that account. Ga the contrary, bis
Order based or that Proclamation was prompt
" issued aud was all that could bo desired.
No one could doubt bis perfect conformity to
the Presidents policy, aud no one desired his
removal or any assumption or suspicion that he
would no. fully sustain that policy.
II. Gen. McClellan's removal was directly
based on charges preferred against hun by hs
immediate superior, Gen. Henry W. Halieck,
ComBander-il-Chei, implying lack OF energy
and efficiency in pursuing md attacking The
! Rebel Grand Army after lis gbt from Mary
land ana while that Army was still far away
from ifs base OF operations and supplies. Gen.
IIalleck in politics was never any thing else but
an ultra Pro-SlavIy Democrat, aud has not
puLIcly or officially inGoircd the Presidents
Proclamation Of Freedom, as Gen. Mcclellan
tag done.
