inconsistency, they say will result from it,
According to this high authority, the events
of the war have reduced this country to
strange dilemma We can not, for constitu-
tional, moral, and perhaps other reasons set
the negroes free, and can not bring the war
to speedy and satisfactory conclusion while
they remain as slaves, and are engagedin rails
ing supplies and carrying muskets in the rebel
army. That which is notoriously and aa-
grantly wrong and injurious, cannot by our
law, (which is the perfection of reason) be
forbidden to do an act on which its own su-
premaey depends, and which, being left un-
done, it topples to the ground and ceases to
be law.
men are sincere when they seek to turn the
people aside from the performance of a duty,
peremptorily enjo;ned, by telling of the hor
rible results of this proclamation, in melting
slaves to revolt. If they are honest in what
they say, and do actually Lelieye in these
consequences. then they do not know any
thing about the matter. 1t is to be remem-
hered that there are few places in the slave
States where the slave population exceeds the
white or free. and where such places are
I found, there are scarcely no whites on whom
the terrific outrages, about which mems i'm
| agnations are so uncommonly fertile, could
be inflicted. Again, the bondman is invari-
ably coward. He will not fight. Hunter
found that out by an experiment which he
need never have tried if he had asked any
one who knew. few questions about the
qualities of the slaves. 1t is an opinion
founded on a rather extended experience in
that quarter. that an effort on the part of
the slaves to . RISE would be followed at
orce by their total determination. for which
few days would suffice
The idea is plausible one. that these ar
guments and forebodings, to which we have
been alluding, take tLeir rise in sort of
superstitious view with which too many of
our people regard negro slavery, and the
right to hold it. The reader will net want
proof of the remark that this right, and this
institution has, by public opinion, been regard
ed as thing apart. especially sacred in its
surroundings. and peculiarly guarded by all
laws human aud divine. Indeed it will not
be difficult for him to remember men whose
idea about the matter practically is, that
the Constitution was not made to protect
anything else than this . Institution.

Slave Insurrection.

Since the issuance of the late proclamation
of President Lincoln, declaring that afteS a
certain Gay, distinctly named, and in the har-
peningso certain events, clearly laid down, all
persons held as slaves in certain districts of
this country shall be forever free, much idle
discussion has been indulged in, by a portion
Of tie public press. who pretend to see in this
manifesto the utter and total ruin of the coun-
try, and the perfect demolition of its Consti-
tuition. Nor are these unfortunate protests
and reckless vaticinations confined merely to
an intemperate discussion of the legal bear
ings of the issue thus raised. That mind
which can perceive the vast constitutional and
logical consequences of this step, which these
persons continually hold up to the public
gaze, is eminently fitted to discern the ''gor
gons, hydras, and chimeras Dire with which
this proclamation is infested They are con-
tinually bringing forward the fact that the
earliest and most direct effect of this step on
the part of the Chief Executive of the nation,
must be to incite servile insurrection in that
quarter of the country. We remember hear
ing United States Senator, who ought to
have known better, under the spur an i'm
pending defeat for reelection, come over
some sacl twaddle.
In the first place, no one, we suppose,
whose opinion goes for anything or is worth
considering, will deny that as war measure
the President has the unquestionable right
and prerogatve to issue this document. The
authority to do it may not be found in terms
laid down in the Constitution, but it results,
if anything whatever results, from the p -wer
to carry or the war. The Congress of the
nation recognizes state of war as existing,
but it leaves with the Commander in Chief of
the army and navy the details of how it shall
be waged. Wars, as we have heretofore had
occasion to quote, are conducted upon the
idea that one possesses the right to inj ure and
weaken an adversary in every way possible,
inside of certain humane restrictions not now
necessary to consider Thus, if an enemy
has a powder mandatory, or magazine,
your right to destroy, or seize and hold it,
nobody denies. If an enemy has stores of
provisions, and munitions of war. your right
to seize and hold, or destroy the same, is be-
yond question, even if by so doing you
leave him utterly defenceless, or so reduce
him that absolute starvation is the result
These things are not done specially for the
purpose of furnishing him, but with view to
reduce him to submission. Under this view
the proclamation in question can be justified,
if any justification is deemed necessary IT
is historical that the rebels, by the aid Of their
slaves, are enabled to carry on the war now
raging. Without their help they could not
do it. They are enabled to send the whole
force of whites of that section into the field,
and keep them there, well provisioned and
clad, and occasionally, at a pinch, use them
for offensive purposes, or m =, =!
