will fall down and worship him. Ii is his t
bind and it is his TO loose. His decree Of eman
cipatOn Is to 80 iatO remote States, wksre hi
temporal power esun0s be made manifest, ant
where nc stars and stripes are to DO seen; and il
those distant swamps, he is, by a sort Of Ysnke,
slavery iRterdict.
Whist will the South think Of this2 TIL.
South viii answer with g hiss OF seorn. Blu
what will lhe North think Of i52 What vii
Pennsylvania say--Pennsylvauia which is al
ready unquiet under the loss Of her best Gus
toners, and not easy uldsr the absolute desp0t
ism of the present government at Washington
Whst B0stcn may say o. think is not, perhaps
OF much cOnseq queGes. But what viii New
York say Il would net answer the purpose o
any of these cities to have the South MADE a
howiing wilderness. They want the handling
of the millions Of which are purchased by the
labor of the black nan. Peunsylvsnia ceases
to sell her manufactures in the South New
York wishes to be agsiE broker, banker and
merchant TO the South This is what the Union
means to them. They would rather have live
independent Stale TO deal with ttan a dead de-
psndeney where nothing could BE- earned.
To these practical persons President Lincoln
would be, after his black revolution hsd sue
ceeded, like cog s5ealer, who should present
the anxious owner with the head Of his fsvorite
pointer. They want the useful creature alive.
The South, without its cotton and sugar, aud
tobacco would be Of small use TO New York. or
even TO Philadelphia aud the SoHth, without
the produce Of its rice and cotton, and its sugar
and tobacco would be but a sorry gain, even if
it could be obtained. IL President Lincoln
wants such 8 conquest Es this, the North is,
perhaps, YET strong enough TO corquer Hsyti.
A few fanatics, of course, will shout, but we
cannot think thst, except in utter desperation
aad viudicayenoss, any real party in the North
will applaud this net6uous resolution TO light up
= seTvile war ia the distant hoIaesteads of the
South
As proof Of whist the leaders Of She North,
in iheir passion and their despair would do If
they could, thi5 is A very sad dOoOnent. As a
proof Of he bopeles5Hess and recklessness
which prompted their actions it is very iu-
structiVe document BUTT is not q formidable
document. We gaiheE from il Ihst Mr.. Lincoln
has lost ell hope Of preserving the Union, and
is new willing 70 let any quGck try MS nO5trUm.
As Al set Of policy it Is, if possible, more con-
temPl5s tban 1t Is wicked. Ii may possibly
produce some partial IisiHg5, for let any armed
power publish an ezhortalion to the iaboring
class of any community to plunder and muir
der, and there viii be some response. It might
happen in London, or Paris, or New York.
That Mr LiucOiE'5 emancipation decrees viii
have any general effect bearing upon the issue
of the war, we Go not, however, believe.
The negroes have al eady sbundsnJlv dis
covered that the tender meTcies Of toe North
erners are cTueltias. The freedom which is as
socasod with labor in the trenches, military dis
cipine, and frank avowals OF personal GbhOT-
renee momentaIly repeated, does not commend
itself to the negro nstuTe General Butler
could, if he pleased, sell strange stories Of the
illBuccess Of his tanPeEings with tho negroes
about New O.leans We do moi think that even
now, when hr. Lincoln plays his last card, il
will prove to be trump. Powerful mslgnity
is a dreadful reality, bus impotest msliguity is
apt 20 be 9 very contemplate spectacle. Here
is would-ba c5uqUeror, and would-be extiTPs-
tor, who is not quite safe III his seat If govern
ment-who IS reduced 20 such straits that be

tion Of 5000 men as sn uuimpoItals event, I

Here IS 3 President, who has just, ag.ins. BIZ
