EVANSVILLE, IND SATURDAY MORNING,

President must be wiser, or all rules of
probability fail
AS to the remaining question, | have
not the slightest doubt of his constitu-
tional power, as Commander-in-chief, to
issue this proclamation as a military act.
If Halleck, when before Corinth, might
have sent a force a hundred miles to
catch and bring into camp a hundred ne
groes, with the wagons, horses, and pro-
vision they were bringing to Beauregard
the President and Commander-in-chief,
sitting in the center, with wider neces-
sites, and wider rights to meet those
necessities, may, if he can, prevent the
whole mass of slaves from laboring to
feed the rebellion He may, if he can,
by the danger of insurrection, or of
starvation, or loss of property, dishearten
the rebels, and drive them and their
armies home
To say otherwise, would be to say that
he might strike at the rebellion, but must
be careful not to strike away its corner
stone.
Can he do it in fact? This question
touches the expediency of the measure,
and this l leave to him. But it does not
touch his military right to threaten it,
and do it if he can
Judge Curtis speaks much and elo-
quently of the Presidents right to in
flict "penalty" and punishment" and
the rights Of the rebels to the protection
of the law.
Rebellion has no rights. If rebellion
means anything, it means the renuncia-
ton and destruction of all law. And
therefore it is accursed before God and
/ man.
No rebel has any right, regard to
which should weaken or obstruct any
military measures needed to subdue the
rebellion.
Judge Curtis's argument would give
the Constitution and the law to the reb-
els, as their sword to smite with, and
their shield to save them, and leave it to
us as a fetter.
Then he tells us the innocent must
suffer with the guilty This is true, and
it is sad But when the mingled fire
and hail of Gods vengeance run along
the ground, they pursue no devious path
that they may leave the homes of the in
nocent unharmed; for when national sins
bring national caamities, the innocent
suffer with the guilty This may be one
of the mysteries of Providence it is, at
all events, fact; and what has. been
will be- THEoPHILUs PARSONS

Chief Justice Parsons, Of Massachu-

lamatiOn,

lamatiOn.
There are three questions concerning
the Presidents Emancipation Proclama-
tion-one, Has he a constitutional power
to issue it as civil, political, or admin
istrative act? the second, Was it expe-
dient? the third, Has he constitutional
power, as Commander-in-chief, to issue
it, at this time, as a military act?
The questions are perfectly distinct.
One of the most common and most fruit
full causes of error upon all subjects, is
the mingling of questions which are dis
tinct in themselves, but so near each
other that they confuse each other
Judge Curtis mingles these questions
so entirely, that no study of his pamphlet
enables me to see clearly, as to much of
his argument, upon which of these ques-
tions it is intended to bear
Let us separate these questions.
am sure that the President has no
power to emancipate a single slave, as
civil, political, or administrative act.
Was it expedient? leave this ques-

is capable; he has considered the ques-
ton long, carefully, and painfully, and
in all the relations in which it can pre-
sent itself However wise | may be, OF

to cover the ground completely over. Wishing to
prove whether sawdust was of any benefit | left
about four feet of one without the dust the con-
sequence was, had two good rows of onions with
