JSlayery and martial Law in free country
says HUNTER, "are altogether incompatible.'--
On this point we will let the New York World
Republlcau paper, answer General HUNTER.
II says: l8st.l
This proposition, stated 10 this broad and alb
solute manner, is virtual condemnation OF
great part of the military administration OF the
Ii slavery and martial law cannot
coexisl in free country, Mr.. Lincoln was
wrong in requiring Fremont to 90 mouiiy hls
proclsma as to eliminate the emancipation
which il declared and let the martial law stand
Gen. Hslleck has administered martial Law in
Missouri without emancipation; Gen, Dix has had
martial Law in force great part OF the time IN
Maryland without finding slavery an o6sunct-
ion; We have had martial law for nearly year
In Alexandria; we have martial law and mill
tary governor in Norfolki we have q military
governor in Tennessee; we have martial law IN
New Orleans; and there is no proof that 1t has
not been administered with efficiency and success
in all these cases, although slavery has not beer
disturbed.
A report reaches Us through Washington
dispatch to the New York Herald, that th'
President has expressed not only dissatisfaction
with, but Indignation at HUNTERS proclamation
and that he will be recalled. IL is further stat
cd that HUNTER is Blstsined by portion OF th,
Cabinet, and that the difference will result in
breach. But We shall aool see how The Presiden
will act In this emergency, for the tiue has nov
come in which he muss prove himself either tn

A Dilemma.

Every one has appreciated the dilemma the
drunken loaier was in, who, one bitter cold win.
ter night, was holding on to wharf-post and 60
lIoquizlng thus: "Il hold on here, shall freeze
to death il LET 60, shall iall into the drink
and be dYOWned"
The leaders Of the Republican party are 10
Just such quandary. Judge PARKER, Of Mas
sachusetts, has published, in the Boston Journal
letter to the Republicans, advising them to
give up their emancipation projects and ell their
unconstitutional schemes, If they wish to save
their party. The Republican papers don't rel
ish the Judges advice, though, like the loaier
on the wharf. they seem to appreciate the dllem-
ma they are in.
IL they aecede from the radicals, their life as
a party will be gone; II they bold on to the rad
icals, conservative men will leave them, and
they will be poWsrless except for mischief. In
either case, the party will be done for.

Senators Davis, wilson and summer

We copy from the Cincinnati Commercial Of
the 10th inst:
Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, and GaFeI
Davis, of Kentucky, had sharp discussion iu
the Senate, the other day. Ia the course of his
remarks Wilson said:
Last summer he advised them to be neutral
when the question was whether the nation
should live or die, survive or perish. That wss
hls voice to Kentucky last summer"
Mr.. Wilson was speaking without correct In
formation, Garret Davis was one of the lead
ers In Kentucky, who, by their courage and di.
plomacy prevented the secessionists there from
precipitatiDg the State out of the Union. The
famous "Lincoln gnns" which have the reputa.
tion Of saving Kentucky, we're procured through
the personal agency OF Garret Davis. He did
good work, and If he does say a rash thing oc-
casionally, his valuable services should not be
forgotten. We are not surprised that ho should
become irritated by the oVerbearDg and unco-
tighteons tone Of the Senators from Massachu-
ss;,s. When either of them has done more
practical service for the Union, than Davis did
In procuring the Lincoln guns, they will have
earned better titles to the public gratitude,

in one Of the New York papers:
II is the custom of oil the Protestant church.
es, except the Episcopal, to give certificates to
members who, removing to other localities, may
desire to join other churches. It appears that,
In the case Of persons dssirous to Join the
churches Of Henry Ward Beecher and Dr..
Cheever, several Of the clergy In New York
and Brooklyn refuse to issue such certificates,
on the ground that such men are not true Chris
tians, that they are fanatical semiinfidels of
the Satanic school, repudiating the authority of
the Bible, and that by their seditious course
they have brought terrible calamity on the
country. t N@ --
