The Emancipation Proclamation True
Doctrine,

The letter which President Lii coin has recent
" written to the Union Convention in Missouri
contains the following sentence:
"The proclamation as law either is valid or Is IS
not valid if not valid it needs no retrachon; II
it is valid it cannot be retracted any more than
the dead can be brought to life"
The President has almost in a word, and with
irresistible force, thus given final answer to all
the demands of the pro.slavery press for re-
vocation of the Emancipation Proclamation. IT.
respective of all considerations except those OF alb
solute right, the Presidents argument is still log
ically conclusive If the Proclamation was valid
If the President had right to issue it--then it
has already vested in every slave within the terri
tory included in it the right to his freedom, and
no revocation of it could take away that right and
return the free man again to servltude. 1t 1t was
not valid, then it is simply so much waste paper
and "needs no retraction."
The northern opponents Of the Administration
pretend to be great friends of law and order, OF
legal rights and constitutional rights why Will
tbev not exercise some Of their extreme affection
for law, toward the law Of the Presidents frocla-
nation? lit is unconstitutional, as they declare
it to be, why not let it alone and let it perish
from its own lack of vtalityP If perchance 1t
should be constitutional, why do they light against
it? Should they not take heed lest perchance
they are found fighting against law OF the land
The truth is, it is because they believe 1t 10 be
constitutional and valid that they make such an
cutlery against it, If they had any confidence IN
their own declarations of its unconsttutlonallty'
they would let it die of itself.
The Presidents argument IN this letter is lu'A
.ssrrar ce that be intends to stand by the letter
Of his Proclamation and there is nothing lett ior
those who oppose it but to make their opposition
take a constitutional shape. This they can 90 IN
ths courts. Let them make up their case, as the
Dred Scott case was made up, and make their ar
guments, through the Intervention of lawyers
brief, to the Supreme Court and its decision VIII
then be binding upon all parties as an au'h0r''a
tive exposition of the law. This IS now 'nelf ohiy
resource in aid of their southern allies; anu We
advise them to hurry up their case.

JOHN MINOR BoTrs.-A correspondent of the
Indianapolis Journal, writing from Virginia.
saws: aDd you ever hear tell OF John Minor
Bolts? Well, on Saturday last, while the Sd In
diana cavalry were engaged in skirmish, about
six miles south of here, Major Mcclure, seeing
hale looking, oldish gentleman in door by
the roadside, hailed him and inquired: Which
wav did the rebel cavalry, that moment since
passed here, go2' Sir was the reply, am
nnder parole to fhe Confederate Government to
tell nothing see But, sir, my name is John
Minor Botts-as devoted Union man as the
world can find put no ifs nor butts in
the case" May his release from parole soon
come.

CoMPLnIENTARY.-Th New York Word

CoMPLDTENTARY-The New York World
of Tuesday, Sept. lst, thus really, though with
an opposite purpose, praises Vermont:
Vermont has the honor of opening the ball of
the fall elections The contest takes place in that
State to-day but of course there is no doubt but
that the Republicans will carry their entire ticket.
There is consequently little or no interest in the
contest. The best that we can hope for is
that the Democratic ticket will gain largely,
and that the next local Legislature will be more
evenly divided than it has been for a number Of
years past The contest in Maine is far more
exciting, because there is reasonable hope that
the conservatives may carry the State. AT the
very worst, we will gain heavily on the vote of
last year. 1t is the misfortune of Vermont to re-
main green when other states are ripe for pollti-
cal revolution.
1t is the good fortune of Vermont that her 10y.
atty, patriotism, and devotion to constitutional
liberty are perpetually "green." The copper
color OF the Worlds style of political revolu-
ton" is indeed scarce among our free mountains.

HOBBS PIGGERY.-One of the most
interesting institutions of the place
is the extensive porcine establishment
of our friend HOBBS at 'the farm" In
a large enclosure, bereft, by the "root
hog or die" process, of the slightest
suspicion of vegetation, and gently
sloping toward the bayou, which af-
fords excellent facilities for 'wallowing
in the mire," luxury so indispensable
with maternal porkers, are some hun
dred and sixty "big pigs and little
pigs" Of all breeds, ages, and sizes,
from the most diminitive porklet, to
the monster hog. Throughbreds, ''rail-
splitters," grass breeds, and every va
riety of swinish formation, even to the
fashionable!"black and TAM" are there,
and with the most hoggish disregard
for taste or harmony, they snake mu-
sic all the day" in one eternal round
of grunts and squeals, varied at times
lay +ha dnnr hoes sufIa, &c coma elder
member, whose delight or fright can
find no appropriate expression in the
ordinary gamut, IL couchOa. "Happy
as pigs" is this bristling brigade with
their abundance of room and slops,
and nice deep mud, and by no means
an Improbable family to raise.

goeal Matters.
Conflicting Interests.

Amid the multifarious interests in
presses Of developement in this section,
it is not to be wondered at that some
are found to conflict the chief wonder
is, in fact, that they have gone along
thus far without more serious Earring
and conflict, and more frequent resort
to the Courts.
One reason is, that up to within a
short time lumber has been the main,
and for that matter the only consider
able resource of the country, and by
common consent all minor interests
have taken a secondary position. The
stave trade, timber, wood, Single,
hoop and other business, though their
rights. and interests might at times
conflict, were not, either singly or
combined, of enough magnitude to
think of entering the lists against the
leading item" Navigators, travel
ers, and all others within or without
his jurisdiction, have been compelled
to pay tribute to liking Log" until
the idea seems to have obtained gen
orally that other parties have no rights
on the river which his majesty is
bound to respect. Navigable streams
are INSTRUCTED by booms, until the
channel is made so narrow that even
sturgeon can hardly squeeze through
rivers blockaded until midsummer, to
the serious detriment of builders, trav-
elers, salt men, and commercial inter
ests, and everything is placid and
quiet; but let one of the RATS Of logs,
so called, which are sent down with a
labyrinth of fasteningsas unsubstantial
as a series Of cobwebs and tooth-picks,
and as complicated as a fish net, be
broken up by steamers swell which
a two-man dug-out would ride with
impunity, and there is no end to the
.grumbling.
The blockade Of streams interferes
directly with the salt interest, witch re-
quires their use for the transportation
Of wood, slaves, &c. The careless mode
of rafting and the inattention of ope-
rators, renders the fast navigation of
the Saginaw. which has become n ne
cessity from the increase of trade, diff
ficult and unpleasant. Other interests
are now assuming a magnitude which
warrants the assumption of equal
rights and privileges with King Log.
His saliferous highnoss, Salt, begins
to don kingly robes, and put on pun
gent airs, and he has right so to do,
for he was our salvation but he re-
CARDS all Instructions and blockades
with intense disgust. Still there is
no difficulty in harmonizing all these
differences. An intelligent considera-
ton of the grievances complained of
on either hand will lead to better
understanding, greater care and atten-
ton, and learn all parties to regard
the rights Of others in something of
the same spirit that they would thor
own. 1t is certain that the business
of the river will never be any less than
at present, and it is well TO look these
contingencies in tho face at an early
day.

LAuNcm.-On Monday last at few
minutes after p. NJ, the trim built
bark WnOnd, noticed last week, was
launched from Mr.. Hoyt's ship yard.
She went off magnifcently, without

essentially at home when ahoat. She
has a peculiar sea-going look, with
her straight stem and round stern,
and is in every respect creditable
craft.

added to, in the way of accomodations
for passengers, is now doing a fine
business in that traffic as well as for
freight, between Saginaw and God

advantage Goderioh offers as a sum-
mer resort, the short distance, low
fare, and excellent time made between
ports, we are only surprised that the
travel is not doubled. If our Eastern

year ''go farther and fare worse"
would try this short cut to tho great
desidcratum, fine scenery and health
giving breezes, once, we have no doubt
that the trial would be often repeated.
