The Serious Points of tho Presidents
Proclamation.

Most people have heard the story of the Irish
student who, witnessing from his rooms in old
Trinity proctor being ducked in one of the
college tanks, cried out with the gravcst air i'm
aginabe, "Boys dontnail his ears to the pump"
OF the same solemn character is the Niger in
his last proclamation. 81 hereby enjoin upon
the people so declared to be free to abstain from
all violence, unless in necessary selt-deience."
Were not the proclamation to be viewed mere
ly in the light Of ga Pope's bull against the
comet" the accommodation would be as cru
ely suggestive as that of the Irish wag. In
the same sentence, and in the same view, we
have another piece of advice to the prospective
freedom of proclamation: and l RECON-
mend to them that in all cases when allowed
they labor faithfully for reasonable wages"
1t is pity that the President did not include
in the recommendation the slaves in the pens
of the King Of Danomey. Its extension to
them would be equally effective and to the pur-
pose.-N Y Herald.

The Way They Did in New Orleans.
Correspondence Of the LocIpOrt UniOn.)
New ORLEANS. Dec. II, 1862.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. IL, 1857.
Nr. Edtor:-I feel strongly inclined to say
''there is a God in Israeli The ,chy may be
inferred from the fact that on Sunday evening
last, Gen. n p Banks came to this city, and
yesterday at noon took command of the "De-
partment of the Gulf" and placed Gti rumor-
ed) Gen. Butler and his beautiful brother under
arrest, with orders to report to Washington by
the first Steamer The fact is enough to make
an a scetic resident of New Orleans wave aloft
his Sonb'ero with cxultation. Not that Banks
has been ordered here but that Butler has been
ordered away. If l recollect, in a former let
ter l spoke of the two Buffers speculations in
sugar The sugar on hand yesterday and held
by these two busy BIS, has been seized by Gen
Banks, as has also other property, too numer-
Gus to particuralize.
One instance of the manner in which Gen.
Butler carried out the wishes Of the Govern
ment in his Official capacity will partcuralize
to give you an idea of nearly all the others:-
Some weeks ago, Col. B. went to all the liquor
stores in the city, and bought, a0ita Confederate
money, all the whiskey on hand. That secured,
General Butler issued an official document, pro-
hibiting any of the distilleries in his department
from manufacturing any more whiskey, or SELL
ing any they then had on hand Colonel But
Ter had grocery full, which sold rapidly in this
whiskey-submcrged locality, at an enormous ad-
vance on the purchase money. so also with
Confederate money. General Butler declared
it worthless, and it was prohibited under pen
atty from circulation. Colonel Butler opened a
brokers' desk in his grocery, and bought it, re-
azing in two weeks profit of $50, 900 on
the amount he was enabled to gather in. Wild
ows and poor people had il in small sums, and
they went to General Butler with prayers and
entrcaties and tears, telling him that by a stroke
of his pen he had made them pennRoss, and de-
prived them of the means to get a loaf Of bread.
They were referred by another person (ready at
hand for The occasion) to the aforesaid broker,
the Colonel, where they could get their money
changed. These are only triAing evidences of
the way millions have been stolen from the
people here by these agents of our government.
The impression is that Banks cannot possibly
be worse.
The tumult among the officials over this
change is tremendous. The most Of them have
been living here at a rapid canter, and the sud-
den stoppage of the government fodder has
thrown them on their faces passed by Gen.
Beaureguards residence this morning, where
one of Buffers staff has been ovelling in lux
urious pride for several months, and he was
moving out. All he had to move was his trunk.
| did not dare look in the house, for | have al
ready seen the furniture in those palaces of
wealth and comfort so foully abused by our ep-
auleted upstarts that one more such sight would
have been revolving

Inaugural Address Of Gov. Seymour.

ALBANY, January 2.-Gov Seymour, in his
inaugural, thanked Gov. Morgan for his kind
expression of good wishes, and congratulated
him on the able close of his administration. He
then said: 81 have solemnly sworn to support
the constitution of the United States, with its
restrictions and guarantees, ,lnd shall support
it. / have also sworn 10 support the con,titu-
ton of the State of New York, with all its
powers and rights, and l shall uphold it.
81 have sworn to support the duties of the
Office of Governor of the State, and with your
aid they shall be faithfully performed. These
constitutions and laws are meant or the gui-
dance Of our official conduct and t,r your pro-
lection and welfare Phe first INV recorded
for my observance is that declaring hat it shall
he the duty Of the Governor to ina ntain and
defend the sovereignty and iurisdictio n of the
State. The most strict injunction Of 'he con-
stitution is that the Governor shall ia ke care
that the laws are faithfully executed, and so
help me God they shall be. He won ID not
dwell on the present occasion on our IL; 1ional
affairs.
'Our position as State has been ha oply
attended TO by the predecessor My view S on
the subject will be laid before the Legislat ure.
While knowing that his position gave him but
little control over national affairs, he (Gov.
Seymour) yet venturcd to trust that before ihe
end of his term of service the country would
be again great, glorious and united as it one e
was.

Kentucky on the Proclamation.
VIM. II. SEWARD, Secretary of

A correspondent of the Chicago Times says
that Governor Robson, of Kentucky, issued a
circular letter to the members of the Legisla-
ture, asking for their views on the Presidents
emancipation proclamation, and the answers
received indicate that fully two-thirds are in
favor of taking the State out of the Union if
the proclamation is enforced The Legislature
will meet on Monday, and it is said that Gov
ernor Robisons Message will urge a separation.
The correspondent says the State militia will
90 with the South, and that Humphrey Marshall
has stationed himself at Mount Sterling to re-
ceive them.

service But we are refused all information
as to this and similar infamous abuses"
At this rate the superintendance alone Of
three million freed negroes would cost the gov
ernment one nailioa tco hundred and Twenty-Five
thousand eight hundred md four dollars per
month, and fourteen m2hoa Sesea hundFed and
nine thousand sic hundred and Jorty-eigM dollars
per year; of which Pennsylvana's share, to
be paid in taxation, would he at least one mi
hon fire huudred thousand aoliars.s And this, let
our people remember, is for taking care of them
alone. Well may the Abolition favorites OF
the administration shout in favor of ''the hon
est Abe's" emancipation scheme, with so many
high-salaried offices in view. No wonder these
cormorants offer their ''whole souls' to the
President when such tempting bait is held out,
it is the rb'no, and not the woolly- headed me
rino, they are after.

Democratic Dinner at the Mengel House

Democratic Dinner at the Mengel House
On New Years day, Isaac Menge, proprietor
of the Mengel House, invited a number of his
Democratic friends to partake of one of his ex-
cellent dinners. 1t was our good fortune to be
among the guests; and as we gazed down that
magnificent table, groaning as it was, under
its bountifui supply of gobber3, ham, roast beef,
and innumerable stews, and ornamented with
beautiful punches of celery, while the side ta-
bos were loaded with rich pastry-we thought
of the good old days when ''smiliag plenty
crowned the board" and all was yet peace and
harmony in the land.
After the meal was despatched, William Ly-
on, Esq, was called to the chair, and Major
Davis and Michael Reed, Esq, were chosen
Vice Presidents The chairman responded in u
neat speech, in which he alluded to the affairs
of the country during the past year; and con-
cluded with the following toast: MAY we all
meet one year hence under more favorable au-
spices, both for our country and ourselves"
This sentiment was responded to by DR.. j. H.
Compiler, in a brief and pointed manner; and
after alluding to the high-handed measures of
the Administration in his own forcible style, he
concluded with this sentiment ''The freedom
of the Press is the liberty of the citizen
Hon. VIM. p. Schell spoke next, in his usu-
al pleasant style. He discussed the affairs OF
the nation, and more particularly the Emanc-
patton Proclamation of the President. This
he denounced in unmeasured terms; after which
he concluded by giving this sentiment: ''The
Union-founded Il $ it is on the Constitution
may both be perpetual"
Mr.. Shannon was next called on, and excu-
sed himself from making speech, but gave as
his toast: "My God, my Country, mine host
and the Democratic Party"
