ls 40 Charm upon the subject, and should be
mystihcasicn over ii. ! early saw that re-
bellon, If long continued, would end in
emancipation--thst ifcm necessity eman-
cipaiion was to enter into the question; for
as ss,e rebellion progressed and declined,
and Was on It's last legs, ii would a, the last
moment liberate the slaves in its despera-
tion, il events had not sooner practically
done so, or emancipation had not then been
proclaimed by the Federal Government l
would have preferred practical and real acts
in the premises, as occasions demanded,
under martial law as such, to theories or
paper proc.amatons, for hold the war
power abundant and Legislation unnecessa-
rvs hut, the President having determined
upon Proclamation. would have prefer
red 10 see how ii would work in the last few
months Of the old year, to the first day of
che new. Great applause. But, if the
Proclamation weakens rebellion and
strengthens Government--as l hope and
believe il will am for it and all its con-
sequences, and any and every other meas
ure which will conduce to that end. The
institution has been overworked, and can
no longer form political capital on either
side, of which politicians Of both shades
will please take notice. 1t is to pass away
! during the present struggle, especially il
1onE continued, and as an element of mis-
chief and disturbance, and as just re,ri-
button to those who have taken up arms
against the Government in its name for vile
political ends, il has my permission to start
at the earliest moment possible, and make
the exodus coFnplete one. One such Gov
ernnent is worth all she Slavery that has
existed since Joseph was sold into Egypt.
TCheers.1 If Rebellion wishes TO avoid
these results, and TO invoke the Constitu-
zion, let it acknowledge its supremacy, en-
brace the olive branch extended by the
President, and lay down its arms and close
its work of treason and murder The cry
that released contrabands are coming North
is FOR political effect, and to secure votes
from alarmed laborers. When Slavery is
no lenger recognized in the Southern States,
the colored race will not struggle for the
cold North to compete with our laborers,
but those now with US will seek more con-
genial cline in the sunny South, where the
climate is more agreeable and the labor and
productions better suited to their wants, and
tastes, and habits.
The question of candidates, SO far as It
concerns men, merely, is comparatively OF
aittle consequence. The principles they rep
resent are now of the highest possible mo-
ment. The Union candidate for Governor,
Gen. Wadsworth, j have known for many
years. 1 know him as gentleman of high
social position, of sterling integrity, of man.
~ and honorable bearing, Of unpretending
habits and simple tastes--a dispenser Of
bounteous charities to the poor, who has
heart for suffering man, wherever lis lot
fishing with famine, sent q cargo of prcvis-
ions to the relief of her starving children
who discharges all his relations with fideli- |
~. do not know whether | agree with
him in all political opinions or not, and do
not care. / agree with him in the great
practical idea Of putting down this internal
Rebellion at all hazards, at any cost and
this is the only matter directly under con-
sideration. And agree with him substan-
italy in his excellent and manly and sensi-
BILE letter by which he declares his accept
snce of the nomination.. believe his cleo
tion at this time as Chief Magistrate of this
great State essential to that end; that his
defeat would be disastrous; and shall sup
port him accordingly, as every truly loyal
man'o every party should do Let every
honest elector, independent of all party
names, which are now used only for cheats
for the people, and We may pass upon the
conduct OF these two candidates since the
commencement of the rebellion--let them
read the noble, out-spoken letter Of one and
the cautions, backing and filling speech Of
the other, and then see who is worthy Of
support The intrepid Tremain has al
ready spoken for himself, and will SPEAK
again. Loud applause. He is Unior
Democrat and representative of the Tn
ion sentiment He may laugh at the as
saults and detractons Of those who seek /,
build up selfish, rotten organization in tn,
name of Democracy, as a capital for spoil
and political stock ,jobbers. They envy hi
position and fear him, for he early took OF
their shallow mask and impaled their lead
