IL The country was warned by the tory
sheets that, if the president issued his pro-
clamation freeing til, slaves Of the rebels
that half the officers of the army would
resign, and half Che soldiers stack then
arms and march home. Well, the presl'
dent has issued his proclamation, but ioe
designations don't come in. Not one OIL
Ger has refused TO serve, and there is no
dissatisfaction among the soldiers. On ino
contrary, the rank and file of the army aIs
wellpieased with tbs step taken by the pres.
dent aud will cordially sustain and ASST

From the Richmond Dispatch. Sept BOT
4 Richmond Paper on the Presidents PrOcanltar,

The Yankee government has at last laid
aside all disguise. Lincoln openly pro-
claims the abolition Of slavery throughout
the entire South, wherever a slave Is held
The time for issuing this proclamation ha,
been singularly we'll chosen. 1t is w en-
the discharge Of Fope's las. officer has left
our government, for the present, entirely
without the means of retaliation. 1t is sim
gnIarly consistent with the behavior Of
Lincoln when Popa's infamous proclama-
ton was issued. That document was not
sent forth untilLinco'n had assured him
selfthat the cartel either had been or wolll
be signed.
For the proclamation itself, II does no
in the least after the character OF he war
1t has been an abolition contest from ths
the beginning, and is no more an abolition
contest now than it Was at first. TheYan-
KEGS have stolen and set free all the ne
gfoes who We're willing to 20 wherever
their soldiers had possession OF the country.
1t is best for indeed, that the mi.sk should
be entirely laid aside, since our people, no
longer delu led into the belief that slave
properly will be respected, will be careful
hereafter TO remove il beyo2d the reach Of
danger,
The document is merely curious from
the clear dem onstrat5n which it affords Of
the entire possession which the abolition
party has taken Of the federal government
that the ut er prostralion Of the last rem
nanl Of what used, with SO much JUNCTION,
to be termed by the canting knaves of New
England, 'tfe buiSark Of our liberties
we mean that ridiculous old constitution Of
the Unite States, which no party ever paid
any attention TO when they were strong
enough to disregard it, and from which no
party, too weak to justify its position with
the sword, ever received the slightest pro-
lection. That the whole North will ac-
quiesce in this last kick at the expiring
constitution, cannot be doubted. Experience
has proved that we have nothing TO bopo
from any part in that quarter. Eageras
they may be TO cut each others throat
they are still more eager to CIT ours, and
to that pious work, we may e assured
thai they Will devote themselves with all
their energy. They are already calngt@
a million more Of men, and the probability
IS that they will have them long before
Christmas. We must make up our minis
70 meet these men, land to beat them as Ws
both can and will, if they come here.

Mr., HAYWoxD then offered the following
As substitute for the sections
HResOlUsd, That the Legislature of West

borrow from time to time, as may be
wanted for internal Improvements, the
sum Of s., 100000; which sum is not to
be exceeded at any time, except in time of
war or iusurrection. But no loan shah be
made until i've years after the admittanee
Of sud State into the Union.
Mr.. SoPER moved TO amend by adding
Nor until q vote of the people Of the STATE
shall authorize it.
The amendment was rejected.
Mr, VAN WMKLE then offered the follow
ing amendment: 'tThe amount 40 borrow
ed shall be expended in equal sums in the

''lead as not into temptation and ab1S
ed, many q them by their own blind rage
in installing the position they really occu-
Ply.
But il the members of the Legislature
have any cause to be indignant at all, or
at any body, Insist, Messrs. Editors, that
they should be indignant at this ill-timed
hospitality of their good and liberal friends
Of Wheeling, who tender them this COM
pliment at a time when, to accept, must
an unjust suspicion, of letting people catch
Ihem like the birds of the air are cnu9ht
ty hiyotrihg salt on dteiT tails.
In view Of all this, Messrs. Editors, /
want to suggest that the good people of
Wheeling withhold their hospitality q lit
tie while, till such time as they can tender
it without being liable TO the suspicion of
mercenary motives, and that the money al
ready raised be diverted to some purpose
of charity or returned TO the subscribers
In this event, "Amicus" would get back
his contribution, which last would, it
seems, give great satisfaction TO the rest of
the Hsubscribers."
l only suggest this as a matter of pro-
Puety. If 1t Is desired to really and truly
compliment the Legislature, and that with
ont compromising them or any body else,
let the citizens of Wheeling give them
supper under different circumstauces-say
about the time they are ready to adjourn,
when there will be nothing to gain in the
way of legislation by doing so. That
would be compliment, aud would GER
tainly be properly appreciated.
Hope, il the supper is to be gwen, that
no member will relish itany theless for what
have said but if it does 60 on, people at
distance are not going to believe thatthe
people of Wheeling and the members of
the Legislature have constituted them
selves mutual admiration society, aud
taken to toasting and feteing one another
simply out of pure admiration for their
mutual virtues and beauties.

coNsT1TUTIoNAI CONVENTION
Forty-Fou1,th Day.
MONDAY, Feb. 3, 1852.

MONDAY, Feb. 3, 1862.
Prayer by Rev. Gordon Battelle, of
Wheeling.
The subject of admitting Mr. Ryan as
delegate from Fayette county, was called
up by Mr.. Brown, of Kanawha
The Committee on Credentials made a
verbal report, by leave of the House, but
reporting no additional factstto those all
ready before it, Mr. Van Wrinkle moved
that the subject be recommitted.
Mr.. STUART of Doddridge, moved as an
amendment, that Mr.. Ryan be admitted at
once, aud on this motion the discussion
was long and fierce.
Mr.. HALL of Mason, {Mr. Battelle being
in the Chair moved that Mr.. Ryan, who
was present outside of the bar of the
House, be permitted to speak in explana-
tion of his claims. The motion was
agreed to, aud that gentleman briefly re-
lated the circumstances leading to the ap-
plication.
When he had concluded, the question
was taken on Mr.. Stuart's motion to admit
him, and it was agreed to- Mr.. Ryan took
the oath of fidelity, and was formAllysad-
mitted to n seat as the representative of
Fayette county.
1t may be observed in explanation of
the action in regard 70 this application,
that the question pending was on permit
ting the State to endorse the bonds of cor
porations or persons, land, as construed
in the discussion,) in the construction of
internal improvements, in favor of which
the members from the Southwest ere ex-
pected to vote solid, and those from the
Northwest nearly as solid against it; and
as the vote would be very close, the result
good deal depended on receiving this
member, who would vote with the South
west. The members from the Northwest
generally opposed the admission, but on
the grounds that the credentials were in
sufficient and the application improper,
there being but thirteen signatures to the
petition, and they having been obtained
from the ranks of the army outside of
Fayette county.]
After the decision Of this matter, the
question required on the motion Of Mr..
Stuart of Doddridge to so amend the 9th
section of the Finance report as to grant
the credit or endorsement of the STATE to
corporations or persons; question that
was zealOusly contested until the arrival
of the hour for recess.
