THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. We
supported Mr.. Lincoln for the Presidency upon
a platform which recognized slavery in the
States wherein it existed, as a State right
under the Constitution of the United States.
yet held that Congress possessed power to
= make all needful rules and regulations =" re.
garding it in the Territories Mr. Lincoln
accepted the spirit and letter of this platform.
ann upon it was elected the chief Executive of
the nation. Until recently, his views on the
suppression of the rebellion. as eviuced by his
modification Of FremOnts and Hunters proc
amations his rebuff to Horace Greeley. his
answer to the Chicago dtputaion on the 18th
of September, in which he told them emanci-
patton in the rebel States would be simply
imperative. and that to arm the slaves would
be practically to arm their masters, were averse
to the spirit of his proclamation. Indeed, such
was his sensitiveness upon this question that
he neglected to enforce the confscation act, a
just measure for Furnishing the rebels
1t will be observed that wherever our forces
have effected permanent Judgement, there the
Union sentiment has been developed and there
the slaves of Union men and rebels are pro
tected, while at points where our forces are
imperative to assure the slaves their freedom
their shackles are declared to be knocked off,
This condition of things removes the measure
from any claims to support on the grounds Of
moral nature
From these and other reasons which we may
hereafter mention, We come TO the conclusion
that the proclamation is unconstitutional, and
injudicious that bullets, grape-shot, and bayo-
nets are the only effective means of quelling
the rebellion, and that proclamations are a
mere brmem fulmen so long as the rebels are
able to confront us with large and victorious
armies. What the nation wants is a succession
of Union victories, and We pray God that We
may have them North Iowa Times

The FREDERICKSBURG DISASTER is a
noticeable fact that, in the recent disaster to
oar army in Virginia, as in cases of terrible
railroad accidents, nobody is to blame ~ 1t
is true Burnside says he is responsible for it,
but Gen. Halleck, who is higher in command,
eountermands the confession, aud insists that
Gen. Megs is the one blameabe. Gen. Meigs.
in the choice language of the prize ring, gets
in a counter hit" by ascrbing it all to Halleck.
The President has, however, disposed of the
whole matter by stating that 81 it was an acci-
dent" The only wonder at this last phase of
the affair is, that Mr.. Lincoln, in the plenitude
of his generosity, did not assume himself to be
solely responsible.

to the COmmissariat of the army in the field,
and to the payment of the troops. 1t has been
found wanting miserably and wickedly want
ing in all these things.
1t has assumed the generalshp over the
generals it has made and failed worse in this
than in all else. It's last act in sending the
army under Banks as far away as possible from
the seat of the rebellion. at which Burnside
was striking, shows it to be impenetrable to
the instructions of experience, be they ever so
disastrous, and incapable of realizing the
character of the crisis, or its own duties IN it,
Incapable for war is the Administration
capable for peace? Not in manful states
manike way. Not for peace founded on the
supremacy of the Constitution and the resto-
ration of the Union, Every act of Congress
and of the President seems designed to inter
pose eternal barriers to such a restoration
As yet, however, the policy of separation is
not to be openly advocated. What then will
be done Some secret and underhand invita-
ton will be given to foreign powers to hasten
their intervention. And if Intervention comes,
it will be guided by the men at Washington
so as to secure a separation, rather than a
restoration of our once happy Union. That
will be the eud-that and infamy.
