"An Edicf Of Vengeance

The Manchester Union, copperhead paper,
dislkes the Presidents amnesty proclamation,
and denounces it as "an edict of vengeance,
malignity aud annihation." 1t is vengeful to
copperhead mind TO extend pardon TO q rebel
on condition of his taking an oath to abjure
his sins and TO sin no more. The Manchester
American don't sec. the thing IN the same light
and SO it replies TO its copperhcad ncighbor in
this wise:
But the proclamation is an "cdict Of ven
geance, malignity and anniliAation." Where
in? Those rebels have committed treason ac-
cording to the terms Of the Constitution of the
United States, and by the laws Of the country
must be hung. This they have done boldly.
knowingly, deflantly. Mr.. Lincoln believes the
Federal authority will be re-esta,lished all
over the rebelious States. Federal laws can
then be executed; but the president says to
those rebels, who are as guilty of high treason
as Benedict Arnold as,-halt, where you are
swear to support the Constitution of the
United States and the laws and proclamations
concerning slavery until the same shall be re-
pealcd, modified or declared void by the Su-
preme Court, and you shall receire .fi,U par
don.
Is this vengeance? Is it malignity? is it an
Inhalation? Suppose Aaron Burr had consum-
mated the PROJECT that has always been imput-
ed to hlm-raised large army to break up
the Union, slaughtered our sons, brothers and
fathers, carried anguish to the poor widows
and orphans heart, and clothed the whole land
in habiliments OF mourning. Suppose Presi-
dent Jefferson should have offered the same
terms of pardon that Mr.. Lincoln now offers,
would our neighbors OF the Union cak 1t "an
edict of vengeance, malignity and annihila-
ton? On the contrary, would not such an
act have been hailed as one OF great Executive
clemency to guilty men?
The charge of vengeance, malignity and an
inhalation, seems to us to be entirely gratuitous
and without good foundation. BY most men
the proclamation will be regarded as timely
notification to all rebels, with very few ex-
ceptions, that they can yet secure forgiveness
and all the blessings of the most beneficent
government on earth.

Compliment, to the Maine Sixth.

The following congratulatory letter was re-
ccived by Col. Burnham of the Maine Sixth,
from Gen. Howard. Col Burnham was not

having been previously detailed to serve in a
Court-martial sitting in this city:
LOOKOUT VALLEY, Nov. 81. 1868.
COL: congratulate you most heartily on
the glorious example your segiment has fur
nished to the Armies of the Union. Terrible
is the sacrifice; so many valuable officers and
so many brave men,-how can they be spared
The work at Rappahannock Station on the
eth inst, gives you the right to the word Dirigo
on your flag. Every brave son Of Maine

with confidence and pride. May God comfort
and bless the wounded, and the poor afflicted
at home, and spare your brave remnant to
give us other noble instances of energy, enter
prise, and unflinching devotion to our right
eous cause. Very truly yours,
(Signed) O. %. HOWARD,

LECTURES ON THE CONDITION AND
PROSPECTS OF THE COUNTRY.

1t Is proposed to have series Of eight pop
ular addresses in this city, by distinguished
citizens from different parts Of the country,
on such aspects of public affairs as have at
trscted their special interest and attention.
The great absorbing theme Of daily life
and thought is, The Nation. We listen with
the deepest interest to the experience and
convictions of men who have been in the field
or have observed events from any vantage
ground Of position or education. 1t is intend
ed to bring before the public men from all
points Of the compass, men who have come
to one conclusion land that the preservation
of the Repubiic) from the most widely differ
ing experiences.
1t is believed that not only can an import
ant service be thus rendered TO patriotic sem
timent and intelligence, but that something
may be done to swell the food Of public mu-
niicence for the health and comfort Of the
army. The income of the series will be de-
voted to the United States Sanitary Commits
sion. 1t is expected, in consideration of this
object, that distinguished citizens from abroad
will address the people who could not be In
duced to visit us on Other grounds.
The course is projected and will be con-
Quoted under the auspices of the following
citizens:
Jacob Mcclellan, Israel washburn, Jr.,
