EMANCIPATION.

Last week President Lincoln issued the
greatest document Of this century. His name
will live IN the hearts of the American people
through centuries yet to come, for this, if for
no other of his official acts. The Nation will
soon be NATION OF FREEMEN. We can
not do better than use the words Of John W.
Forney of the Philadelphia Press:
"The rebellion is at an end The Presi-
dent has done good deed, at a good time
He has pronounced the doom Of Slavery on
the American Continent. After daliying with
this great sin, because he dreaded to do vo-
lence to the interests and wishes of any por-
tion of the people, he has accepted the lesson
of experience, and ends the war by putting
an end to the cause of the war If this re-
bellion has taught US anything, it is that by
slavery we have been defeated in our national
progress-by slavery the richest and fairest
portions of our Republic have been kept as a
desert and a wilderness-by slavery great
part of the people have been estranged from
another-by slavery our institutions have
been prevented from developing the blessings
our fathers intended they should bestow.-
Slavery has been the perpetual disgrace to
the American name. Slavery has bloomed
into sedtion, and ripened into war. Why
should it live? 1t has menaced our dearest
rights, and has robbed us of our dearest kim
dred, This fearful monster, INTERVIEWING it
self around the vitals of the Republic, retard-
ing its growth, destroying its usefulness, max
ing its very existence wretched, at last sought
to take the life which had noUrished it, and
to rend the bosom on which if had grown
In self-defence we have wrestled in its en-
braces-wrestled in blood, war, carnage, des-
olation, and Straightforward all in vain The
struggle is now for life or death. If slavery
lives the Republic dies. The Republic must
live, and so slavery must die. This is the
meaning of the Presidents proclamation, and
his words record slavery's inevitable doom. 4
President LINCOLN has followed the logical
course of events in issuing this proclamation.
He turns new leaf, and, at the head Of the
page, INSTRUMENTATION"

EGsEa'a LEGISLATURE,

Never was there a time in the history of the
State when the need Of selecting able men to
represent US was greater The work to be per-
formed this winter is fraught with vital inter
ests. We of Pennsylvania are to select man

States for the coming six years. Two years

BE Some time ago, when travelling in the
southern part of Pennsylvania, we were told by
a Secessionist that it would be a "good Joke"
to have his party secure majority in the Leg
islature and then refuse to legalize the loans
made in the different towns and counties for
the purpose of assisting Volunteers and their
families. Yes, indeed it would be a 'joke !"

HON. Waa. EE. Armstrong.

Of Williamsport has been unanimously NOM
mated for Congress in this District. During
the next two years it is expected that we will
have Legislative difficulties to contend with
equal to those Of the Revolutionary struggle,
and for a successful termination it is abso-
lutely necessary that our Legislators possess
"brains" and strong Radical brains, at that.
Coucilliaton, compromise, and Doughfaceism
have all had their day, leaving us on the
verge Of ruin, and it Is now time to put the
screws on, adopt rigid policy, purs ue an un-
wavering course, and fight out an honorable
solution of our difficulties Acts looking to
such an end have been passed and now that
they may have full effect, the Congress to be
elected this Fall should be of the right char
acter. OCr nominee, we congratulate our
selves will prove himself all that can be de-
sired-judging from his past course.
At the time of Senator Wilmot's election he
was a prominent candidate for tha. Office but
in an honorable spirit of self-sacri6ce resigned
In order that one who was more practically
acquainted with the duties of the position
might be elected. This act should not go un-
rewarded. Two years ago be was elected to
the Legislature from q Democratic District
and was again returned last winter. During
the first session the Rebellion assumed shape
and then it was that Mr.. Armstrong, seeing
the civil war in which it would end, held ont
the banner of peace to them in q series Of
Resolutions presented to the Legislature and
endorsed by able speeches. The South mad
in the fancy Of a seperate and independ-
ent Government, fred upon Fort Sunter and
from that time TO the present, he has heen
their uncomprorlising enemy; supporting
the Administration in all its efforts for their
subjugation, advocating Ra deal measures,
and doing ali that private citizen Of wealth
and influence could 10 crush this monster Re-
belliOn. His nomination he's 0eea death
blow to the expectations Of the Doughfaces of
the District. They have made no nomination
from their party, but have Gttempted-with-
out success-to bribe an OId-gine Eh3g to run
against him. A gentleman of finished educa-
ton, extensive observation, amiable and cor
teous in private life, honorable in all his pub
lie acts, Mr.. Armstrong, is the very man most
needed in this District and his election is
merely question of time. To Union Demo
ocrats we can commend him as the man of
their choice, having been twice elected to the
Legislature from a strong Democratic district,
and old Wings and Republicans will possess
in him Representative combining the digni-
fed frmness of the old-line Whig with the
noble enthusiasm of the Republican of o-day
Wings, Democrats and Republicans will vote
for the Representative man and 'little Potter
will give him an old. fashioned majority.

Remember that some of the Secession
who advocated diSfranchizing
the soldiers by the Breckinridge Democratic
Supreme Judges gave as a reason that there
were but few Of their clique in the army and
perhaps by pursuing such course they could
defeat the Union party. Union Democrats do
your owe allegiance to such a gang of traitors?
