In another column will be found the Procla-
nation Of President Lincoln suspending the writ
Of hAbeas corpus in all cases arising in the naval
and military services.
The enemies of the President have been
jealous in regard 70 some Of his official
acts, az though be inclined 10 exercise powers
not belonging to him. But there il nothing in

The suspension Of the hdbeds corpus in time
Of rebellion is expressly authorized BY the Con
stitution, although it ia lot declared by whom it
shall be done But to stop all cavil, on the Sd
of March Congress authorized the President to
make such suspension "in any case" he should
deem necessary. Thus the executive and leg
slative powers united in sending out the Proc
lamation.
But the President has used a part only OF the
powers authorized by the act, as the Proclsma

A portion Of this land has long been under the
domination of the slave power, who have ruled II
with an iron hand They have oppressed the poor,
and kept them ignorance; and enslaved the black
man, and kept him in bondage. They have not
only ruled the subjects Of their own States where
the institution of slavery exists, but holding
balance Of power in this great nation, the craV-
ing sycophants who have had IN their hands the
reins of government have ever done their bid
ding also. At last, when thrust from power,
they endeavor to disrupt this fair government,
which they feared they could no longer control.
By force of arms they have sought to do this,
and If successful, they would make slavery the
corner stone of their future greatness. But a
God Of justice, in whose hands are the destinies
Of all the nations Of the earth has willed other
wise This land is destined 70 be redeemed
from the thraldom Of those who have so long
oppressed it. They have set up their MECH be-
loved institution OF slavery against liberty, and
made war for the mastery. Liberty il destined
to triumph-Slavery falls by the hands OF its
own friends There has been 10 crusade made
against it By the party which at the present me
has control Of the government The question
has been thrust upon not only that party but the
whole people of this great nation to choose be-
tween liberty and slavery. They could but
choose liberty, or prove themselves recreant 10
the trust repOsed in them by the fathers OF this
great Republic. They have been compelled to
var against these who have favored oppression,
and opposed human liberty. Liberty, that Col
given common heritage, is gaining the ascendan
cy, prevailing against its foes. 1t has already
cost the sacrifice Of the blood of many Of the no
blest sons Of the land but not far in the future
already be seen the glorious light OF this nation
redeemed from bondage, looming up aud assum
ing proportion. All hail the great redemption
morn. IL has cos; much, but If the glorious enc
is attained, God and humanity will justify the
means to the eud. The great monument OF hu
man liberty shall forever stand ia honor OF th'
beloved dead, who have sacrificed their lives II
order to establish for it a permanent foundation
e History will place on perpetual record the act

Effort of the Copperheads.

In every State where an election is vet to come
of the present fan, the Copperheads are making
the most strenuous efforts to elect their candi.
dates. Their stump orators are scattered over
every section ''as thick as leaves in Vallombro-
sa, peddling out their distilled essence of sys1-
patty for the rebels. As TO what will be the
result of these efforts We have no Eay of iudg.
ing except TO draw our conclusions from the
conduct Of those States wherein elections have
already been held. judging from this stand
point, these poor secesh apologisis might as well
hang their harps on a willow tree; their efforts
IN the aid of apprehension will prove futile
In our own State, even, where no election Is to
take place the present fall, these stump orators
are holding forth. "Great meetings" are an
neunced in many localities, at which " Democrat
&c Clubs are to be formed, the purpose of
which there is no way OF dvining, save as their
principles and creed are enunciatei through
the elect, on the stump and ia the columns of
the presses of the chosen ones of Israel. To
hea- these stump speakers and read these papers
one would almost suppose that vallandighsn
was running for Office in Michigan, and that
" Little Mac, or Governor Seymour, had already
been nominated for the Presidency. What sym.
patty dWeIls in the hearts Of the Democracy
for the fallen ones of earth, and how openly
do they manifest their love. We have no doubt
but if the CopperheAds had to elee; their Master
in future world, that they would At once nomi
nate old Satan for the position, owing to this
same great feeling OF love for the prosecuted.
But go on, gentlemen, your efforts aui YOUR
cause seem to be fully appreciated throughout
the country. A grand failure viii be the result
OF al your efforts to aid tie enemies Of voar
country. You are battling against righteous
cause, the cause Of human liberty.

We give on our first page short extract from
the speech Of Hon Charles SIMMER delivered
in New York on the 10th inst on the subject
of our foreign relations, TO which We invite at
tention. Mr.. Sumner il chairman OF the COM
mittee on foreign relations in the United
States Senate, and although this speech may not
be regarded in a. strong light abroad as if de-
livered in the Senate Chamber, still it must have
great weight with the crowned heads OF Europe
The thorough, unvarnished exposition Of the
course Of England toward this country in the
present rebellion, in aiding in every possible
manner within hcg po sc. the cause OF the South
ern Confederacy, and the powerful incentives
held I'D TO Americans to induce them to stand
BY their cherished rights, is prominent feature
in this great speech. Mr.. Sumner assumes no
threatening attitude in his arguments, but simply
by clear and cOgent reasoning, by the plain truth
of Fixed principles and common international law
shows to the people of Great Britain that their
course has been all through this war, in direct
opposition to precedent and against all Justice
as-a. izns- france Il also admonished that her
course has not been such as should have char
scterized the dealings Of one great nation with
another in time of tribulation. That while she
mas not sent armed ships abroad to prey upon
our commerce, as has England, yet she, with
that government, recognize the reOels as ocean
belligerents, and grant their piratica crafts the
free use of her ports. Her dealings with Mexico,
and also her efforts to procure an armistice, are
shown up in their proper light The subject of
foreign intervention, under all its varied forms,
is dwelt upon largely, and it, meaning and effect
clearly dissected So also the subject OF recog.
milton. Mr.. Sumner takes the ground that the
European powers cannot, with safety to them
selves. aud in the exercise of common decency
toward their subjects, recognize a nation with
slavery for the corner stone of its foundation
He also takes the ground that foreign nations
cannot of right acknow ledge the rebels as ocean
belligerents, they not having a single port that
they can call their own into which they can
take The captured prizes of their cruisers for adj
Indication In accordance with all established
precedent, the appropriation Of ship or cargo
without judicial proceeding is piracy Hence
il foreign nations wolld act in accordance with
former practice, and as they should of right
they would at once condemn the rebel cruisers
as piratical, and treat them accordingly. The
closing portion Of this great speech We give in
full. IL Is master effort, and at once stamps
Mr. Sumner as one of the first of American
statesmen Of the present day. The speech in
full should be read bv every onp W. regrat

A COMPLIMENT TO President LINCOLN The
New York Commercial Advertiser saws, it is
fact well worth noting, that for the first time in
many years, the Congress coming into life at the
middle of a Presidential term, is in its political
aspect, friendly to the President. For a quarter
OF a century, if we are not mistaken, an oppo-
sitiOn speaker has been elected in every last
Congress of Presidential term. That the next
Congress is not merely Union but RePu5liean,
is strong testimony to the popular estimate OF
the fidelity, honesty and patriotism of Abraham
Lincoln and his advisers.
