Lince1n,s Emancipation Proclamation
49, We make the following extract from q
lengthy and able article. from the pen of Ex-
Governor MBDARY, Editor ofthe Columbus
(Ohio) Crisis: o. ,aF51T95S Istac e1Hd Il, I
eff Mr. Lincolp. has the power to declare
to the slaves of the South not to work day
/ longer for their owners unless for e0ages, he
has equal power to decree what the wages
shall be, aud thus fix by Decreezevery rela-
ton of life, in every form and particular,
and to annul, by similar decree, every State
! law in every State in the Union. If his
power extends to States out of the Union,
| how much more must these powers be su-
preme in States IN the Union, acknowledging
| his power and justifying its exercise?. nan
It is we of the North, we who are part
and marcel of the Government over which
Mr.. Lincoln presides, who have got to pocket
the shame q and disgrace of this usurpation.
We are the persons interested; we, are the
people who must suffer under such an exer-
else of powers, wholly usurped, not even
bretence to defend them, on any legal or
constitutional grounds known to our gov
eminent. og f..... .. sE. -L.u;ft.r. -
We hope the people of the States an the
! Union will, therefore, for their own honor,
! for tie love they have for the liberty so
dearly bought our ancestors, for the honor
! of the race, from which we descended, for
| the love we bear for those who are to follow
us every where and on every occasion, de-
nounce with iustfeeling and proper indigna-
ton. this barefaced and most impudent, self
conceited usurpation, and wash their hands
/ of every consequence which may grow out
| of It, Hold the authors and defenders to
strict account, that in after times their names
| ranord in Dr00f th ot
! thew belonged to the murderers of our States
existence, and the destroyers of all Consti-
tional Government. We hope the people
will call meetings every where and continu-
ally, and in every possible way, consistent
with the rights and privileges yet left to free
men and free States, and .deuounce this
monstrous impud eut and heinous Abolition
proceeding without stint or ceaslng. 1t is
the last chance left US to show our disappro-
baton of the conduct of man and an Ad-
m inistration who, from the first, have shown
a readiness and determination to seize upon
the liberties, the rights, the persons and
rronertv of those in submission to the laws
as well as those in rebellion. For these
reasons: v.-.a.., -. =
This Proclamation, under pretence ol
