g Some of our exchanges affect to laugh
at the Presidents proclamation as without
meaning-like catching birds by first putting

dependence was a very silly impossibility.
Great truths are and must be proclaimed
ahead of their realization. They thereby gain
friends and win at last Lewiston Journal.

by his musket, and asked about the prospect

Presidents emancipation proclamation, as
transmitted by telegraph, read that the repre-
sentation of any State in Congress on the LIST
of January would be deemed conclusive evil
dence that "such State and the people thereof
have not been in rebellion against the United
States" The official copy, as printed in the
National Intelligencer, instead hare not been
in rebellion" reads are not then in rebellion.
The difference is quite important.
sg-Because man from the farm, the work
shop, or the printing-oflice mounts set of
shoulder straps upon his neatly fitting coat it
