The Difference.

IL Is a fact worthy OF note that the best
men. and those most true 10 the cause of the
Union In the South. advocate the policy Of
the late proclamation Of the question of
slavery. IL is a strange spectacle. Southern
shareholders. fresh from the rebel States.
are here. in the face Of our people. solemnly
declaring that slavery must perish If liberty
Is TO 1.-Two. and conjuring US to support the
Presidents proclamation as sure means OF
destroying the rebellion. Northern dema-
gogues. on the other hand, contending that
slavery has inviolable rights beyond the
teach of military law. and denouncing the
Presidents proclamation as n blunder and
crime. Southern men substantiating. beyond /
all possibility Of doubt. that tho rebels have
staked their all upon the Confederacy. and
protesting with imprisoned earnestness
that overtures Of compromise would |
be alike futile and gnominious. North |
ern men holding out that the rebols |
still long for the protecting care of the old
flag. and that they may be. and ought TO be,
won back by Cancellation. Southern men
reprobating the rebellion, in unqualified
terms. the most uDprovoked. wanton,
taithless. and heinous conspiracy that ever
iisgraccd earth or shocked high heaven,
and invoking US In tho name of country hu-
mainly and God. to combat this crime OF
crimes to the very last: Northern men ex.
cusing and extenuating il. pretending that il
vas instigated by Northern wrong. that we
are bound 10 respect even while il fights us.
and that - soon possible we must cease
fighting II altogether. And yet il is this spec
tAcle which Is now presented TO us. For the
proclamation are such men as Gen. HasiL-
