mon, to ALLEVIATE any sentiment which has

mon, to ALLEVIATE any sentiment which has
been hitherto truly loyal. II can affect only
those who prefer slavery to the Union, for it
has been long obvious that the one or the
other must perish, Such Union men are
entitled to no consideration.
That the proclamation will be seized upon
by certain class at the north as lever with
which to work upon the prejudices of some of
the more ignorant classes. in an endesvor to
carry them into opposition to the administra-
lion, and to distract public sentiment at the
north, is probable; but we believe that in
the irmer, more united, and hearty support
which the genuinely loyal people of the north
will give it, the government will gain rathe
than lose strength. As for the rebels south,
the law of confscation was promulgated long
ago, and no new penalty is provided by the
proclamation rather, time of grace is
given them. The leaders have gone much
too far, to admit of any return to grace on
their part; and in the unfort innate social
condition OF the south, but little can be hoped
from the masses so long as the leaders are
unhung. But at all events the opportunity
is afforded them before the final proclama-
ton of emancipation and the effect of
further temporizing course upon the rebels
themselves, is too plainly visible, from its
results in the past. We apprehend, there
fore, that the objections, which as we men
toned, might possibly occur at first to some
loyalty disposed people to the methsd
adopted, will, on reflection, disappear; and
that all will unite in hearty commentator of
the Presidents act.
The President certainly cannot be accused
of having hitherto paid too little regard to
the border state feeling and before taking
the present step we have no doubt he not only
consulted the leading loyal men of all Sec
tons, the border as we'll as the northern
states, but also long and anxiously weighed
for himself the possible objections as we'll as
the positive goods, resulting from it. That.
he found the latter most decidedly predomi n
ating over the former, is Sinced by the result.
President Lincoln is not the man to do any
thing rashly, and we have the utmost conf
dence in his good judgment, his wisdom and
integrity.
What We have SAID has been upon the
mode Of accomplishing the proposed end.
Of the end itself it is only necessary to say,
that for its well known inherent social and
moral evils, that as an element of st rength to
armed traitors as the avowed corner stone
of the proposed confederacy as a perpetual
element of strife and discord in the Union.
the institution, every way accursed, should
be clearly wiped out as speedily as it can be
properly done. We therefore hail the pro-
clamation as the unequivocal manifestation
to all people, at home and abroad, OF one of
the most important steps ever taken towards
communicating the true end of all governments,
freedom to all within their sway an end
necessary in this case to be attained in self
defense, but none the less important or glo-
rious for that.
